Talk
- “One boat a person. Free. Engines cost money. That's the boat business. You give away the dog, you sell the food.”
- “Out past the reef there's a grey island. Haunted, people say. I say everything's haunted if you stay up late enough.”
- “Sit here long enough, you see everything come in. Fish, boats, a fella in a barrel once. He wasn't in the barrel on purpose. He just woke up that way.”
- “Call your boat to any dock and she'll come. Every dock's got a fella like me sitting on it. We're not a union. We just like sitting.”
Shop greetings
- “Boats and engines. The boat's free. The engines aren't. I don't make the rules. Gus makes the rules. I just sit on them.”
- “Back again. The dock's still here. So am I. One of us has to be.”
Quips
After you buy
- “There's your engine. Bolt it on the back. The back's the end without the point.”
When you can't afford it
- “You're short. Engines cost what engines cost. The boat's free, though. Take the boat. Row.”
When you claim your boat
- “There's your boat. Free. Don't tell anybody it was free. Tell them you paid. People respect you more.”
When your bag is full
- “Your bag's full. An engine takes up room. It's mostly metal. And engine.”
When you lack the recipe
- “Not until you know how a boat's made. Gus's rule. I'd break it, but I'd have to get up.”
When you already have a boat
- “You've already got a boat. Just call her. She's out there somewhere, thinking about you. Probably not. She's a boat.”
After you sell
- “I'll take it. I'll use it to fix the dock. Everything ends up fixing the dock.”
When it is sold out
- “That's gone for today. More tomorrow. They come in on the morning boat. There's no morning boat. I just say that.”
When they don't buy it
- “That's worth nothing to a dock man. I've got a dock. I'm set.”
Before you can build a boat
- “Name's Sal. I mind the dock. People ask what's to mind. Nothing. That's how you know I'm doing a good job.”
- “No boats till you know how they're made. That's Gus's rule. Gus is over in Gallows Rest, on the grey island. He lost his plans. Now nobody gets a boat. That's what happens when one fella holds all the paperwork.”
- “You want a boat, you go deal with the fella on the islet. He's the one sitting on Gus's plans. Deal with him and come see me. Word travels fast on the docks. Not much else does.”
Once you can
- “Heard you dealt with the fella on the islet. Gus got his plans back. They floated over. Nobody knows how. Paper doesn't float. Turns out it does. So you've got a boat. Now you can find out what else floats.”
Calling your boat
- “Here she comes. Pointy end first. That's the good end.”
- “There she is. She heard you. Boats hear better than you'd think. Not better than people, though.”
When you walk off mid-sentence
- “Eh. You go, you go. In Sicily we would follow you. Here, it's too hot.”
- “Okay. Is fine. My wife leave the same way. Middle of a sentence. Twenty years ago.”
- “Ciao, then. Rude, but ciao.”
