Deadliest Catch (2005–…): Season 11, Episode 17 - I'm the Captain - full transcript

YOU KNOW, JAKE SOUNDS LIKE
HE'S BEEN STRESSED OUT LATELY.

IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE PUTTING
A LOT OF CRAB IN THE TANKS.

HOLY...

AH, THIS SUCKS.

WE'RE NOT
GETTING ANYTHING.

I MEAN, NOTHING.

ADD TO THAT THE WEATHER
HASN'T BEEN COOPERATING.

WHOA!

Jake: I'M FREAKED OUT.

I DON'T WANT TO HAUL ANYMORE.

I JUST WANTED TO BE A DECK HAND,
AND THAT'S IT.



Sig: IT ALL ADDS UP, YOU KNOW?

IT'S TOUGH.

IT'D BE BETTER
IF ELLIOTT WAS HERE.

HE'S A LOT BETTER FISHERMAN.

THEY DON'T GET IT.

OBVIOUSLY IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE
HE'S IN CHARGE.

PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

Sig: HE'S GONNA HAVE TO
BE THE FIGURE OF AUTHORITY.

AND HE'S GONNA HAVE TO
GAIN RESPECT OF THIS CREW.

SOMEBODY OVER THERE'S
GOT TO BE THE BOSS.

THAT'S ALL I KNOW.

Jake: YOU FEEL SO INCLINED TO
TELL ME WHAT MY [BLEEP] JOB IS?

REMEMBER,
I'M THE [BLEEP] CAPTAIN.

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS



ICE SALE!
EVERYTHING MUST GO TODAY.

Narrator: WITH THE END
OF THE OPILIO SEASON IN SIGHT...

30, 35.
FREEZING SPRAY.

FIVE-DAY FORECAST --

IT'S GONNA BE
COLD, COLD, AND MORE COLD.

Bill: THEY'RE PREDICTING, LIKE,
A NORTHERLY 50 OR SOMETHING.

THAT ICE WILL GET UP AND GO.

IT'LL MOVE 25, 30 MILES
IN A DAY.

SO WE'RE WORRIED.

Narrator:
...A 730-MILE-WIDE ICE PACK

DESCENDS
INTO THE FISHING GROUNDS.

Sig: THE ICE
IS DEFINITELY COMING DOWN.

AND I DON'T WANT TO BE IN IT.

Narrator: NOW THE FLEET IS
FORCED TO MAKE A HARD CHOICE...

THE ICE A'COMIN.

Narrator: ...FISH OR RUN.

THIS IS A NIGHTMARE.

WE JUST GOT TO
KEEP RUNNING FROM THE ICE

AND HOPEFULLY
WE DON'T RUN OUT OF CRAB.

AND HOPE WE JUST
KEEP FILLING THE BOAT UP.

IT'S GONNA BE CLOSE,
SO I JUST GOT TO KEEP WORKING.

Narrator: 370 MILES NORTHWEST
OF DUTCH HARBOR,

ON THE 125-FOOT NORTHWESTERN...

Sig: WE'VE GOT STEADY
30-, 35-KNOT WINDS,

AND THIS WEATHER'S NOT GONNA
COOPERATE FOR THE NEXT WEEK.

Narrator: CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN
RUSHES TO HAUL HIS NEXT STRING.

Sig: FISHING'S PICKED UP,

BUT YOU STILL GOT TO
FIGHT FOR THESE AREAS

'CAUSE THE ICE IS MOVING
AT A RAPID RATE.

IT'S A BIG RISK TO TAKE.

I THINK WE GOT TIME
FOR ONE MORE HIT.

WE'RE GONNA TRY TO BANG THAT
TANK OUT, PUT THE LID ON IT.

Narrator:
WITH THE ICE PACK ON THE MOVE,

THE RACE IS ON TO LOAD THE BOAT

BEFORE THE GROUNDS
ARE FROZEN OVER.

Sig: ALL RIGHT. SHALL WE?

Man: WHOO!

WE'RE JUST HOPING FOR A NICE BIG
PICK THROUGH THE GEAR.

IT'S BEEN A GRIND.

SO THAT'S OUR PRIORITY.

WE GOT TO TRY TO
FILL THIS DAMN THING.

♪

ALL RIGHT.
DEFINING MOMENT.

NAILED IT.

YEAH!

OH, YEAH!
[ LAUGHS ]

NOW, THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

WHOO!

LOOKING GOOD?

THESE ARE NICE.
THESE ARE BIG.

[BLEEP] YEAH!

WE'RE OFF TO A VERY GOOD START,
KNOCK ON WOOD.

WE WANT TO KEEP THIS MOMENTUM.

I'M JUST GLAD
IT'S PAYING OFF.

325.

OH, YEAH.
BIG PICK SO FAR.

THIS IS REALLY
WORKING OUT FOR US RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T WANT TO
PLAY WITH THAT ICE.

THAT'S THE LAST THING
I WANT TO DO.

OH, YEAH.

YEAH, IT LOOKS GOOD.

[ LAUGHS ]

YEAH.

OH, YEAH.

Narrator:
AS CRAB COMES OVER THE RAIL,

UP IN THE WHEEL HOUSE...

MAN:
Yeah, how about here?

CASEY: Yeah, I gotcha fine.
How's it going?

SIG LISTENS IN AS CAPTAINS REACT
TO THE MOST RECENT ICE REPORT.

No.

I haven't even bothered
looking at it.

It's pretty much gonna be
right across the 58 line,

from 172 to 173.

Sig: WHAT THE [BLEEP]
Oh, boy.

Yeah, that's scary.

THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

I'M LIKING THAT.

Yeah, the game is changing.

The game is changing.

Sig: HEY, EDGAR.
YOU WANT TO COME UP HERE?

Yeah. Roger, roger.

Sig:
HE SAID THAT THE ICE WAS GONNA
BE ON THE 58 LINE BY THE 11th.

GOOD, GOD.
THAT'S MOVING, EDGAR.

Narrator: PROPELLED BY
HOWLING ARCTIC WINDS,

THE 730-MILE-WIDE ICE PACK
PUSHES SOUTH

AT AN ALARMING SPEED, ENVELOPING
EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH.

SO THAT'S GONE 15,
ALMOST 30 MILES

FASTER
THAN IT SAID YESTERDAY.

THEY ADDED 15 MILES.

PROBABLY 'CAUSE THE WIND IS JUST
NORTHEAST THE WHOLE TIME.

IT'S JUST GONNA
KEEP GOING NORTHEAST.

I MEAN, IT CHANGES EVERYTHING,
I THINK.

WE GOT 186 POTS OUT HERE.

IT'S GONNA COVER
ALL THIS [BLEEP]

Sig:
NOT ONLY DO WE LOSE THE CRAB

THAT YOU THOUGHT
YOU'RE GONNA GET,

BUT YOU'RE GONNA
LOSE POTS.

THESE ARE ABOUT 1,400 BUCKS EACH
WHEN THEY'RE NEW,

SO IT ADDS UP FAST.

I THINK
WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

YEAH.

I'M NOT
TAKING A CHANCE, RIGHT?

[BLEEP] IT.

OH, YEAH.

YEAH!

I GET ALL [BLEEP] EXCITED
WHEN I SEE ALL THESE CRABS.

[BLEEP] YEAH.

Sig: IT LOOKS SO
[BLEEP] GOOD.

IF WE HAD THREE MORE DAYS
WITHOUT THIS ICE,

THREE FRICKIN' DAYS...

YEP.

♪

WELL, WE GOT A NEW ICE REPORT
JUST REVISED.

IT'S MOVING A LOT FASTER
THAN THEY'VE PREDICTED.

SO I'M GONNA TAKE
50 POTS WITH US,

AND I'M THINKING OF
GET INTO THAT ISLAND

AND GO OFF-LOAD A LITTLE EARLY
IF I CAN.

Narrator:
TO STAY CLEAR OF THE ICE,

SIG WILL GRAB HIS NORTHERNMOST
POTS FIRST, OFF-LOAD,

THEN COME BACK
TO SAVE THE REST OF HIS GEAR.

UN[BLEEP]BELIEVABLE.

UN[BLEEP]BELIEVABLE.

KIND OF SUCKS.
WE'RE SO CLOSE.

IT'S KIND OF A LET DOWN.

SHE'S A CRUEL BITCH,
THIS [BLEEP] PLACE.

IT'S REALLY SAD RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE SO [BLEEP] CLOSE.

GOD, WE'VE HAD
BAD LUCK THIS YEAR.

Narrator: 40 MILES SOUTHWEST

ON THE 107-FOOT SAGA...

THIS IS THE STRING THAT'S
PROBABLY GONNA MAKE OR BREAK US.

FISHING-WISE,
IT'S BEEN A TRIP FROM HELL.

I'M SURE FINANCIALLY
IT'S BEEN A TRIP FROM HELL.

Narrator:
AFTER A DISAPPOINTING OFF-LOAD,

ROOKIE CAPTAIN JAKE ANDERSON
APPROACHES HIS TOWN SOAK.

Jake:
WELL, THIS STRING WAS SET NORTH
AND SOUTH ABOUT THREE DAYS AGO.

IT'S GOT SOAK ON IT.

IT SHOULD HAVE CRAB.

AFTER THIS, I REALLY DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO WITH IT.

RAY'S GONE HERE,
AND NOW I'M ALL ON MY OWN.

Narrator: UNDER THE WING OF
RELIEF CAPTAIN RAY FLERCHINGER

FOR THE LAST TRIP...

Jake: I WON'T HAVE ANYBODY
TO ASK FOR HELP.

I WON'T HAVE ANYBODY
TO KEEP ME CALM

IF SOMETHING HAPPENS
IN THE ENGINE ROOM.

Narrator: ...THIS TRIP,
JAKE WILL GO IT ALONE.

THIS IS THE MOMENT WHEN
THE BIRD FLIES FROM THE NEST

OR FALLS STRAIGHT TO THE GROUND.

COMING ON THE BAGS.

WELL, HERE WE ARE.

ANOTHER HERO OR ZERO MOMENT.

OH, YEAH.
YEAH, BUDDY.

[ BLEEP ]

AWESOME.

OH,
THESE ARE LOOKING GOOD.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED.

NOW IF I CAN GET A GOOD AVERAGE
THROUGH 250 POTS,

WE'LL BE DONE.

THE CRAB HERE LOOK
REALLY, REALLY CLEAN.

WE'RE GONNA FILL THIS BOAT
VERY QUICKLY.

CLEANING HOUSE.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

HELLO?

SIG: Jay, it's me.

You got me?

Yeah.

HOW GOES IT?

They're on the bite
this morning.

Oh, cool. Good.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, I HATE TO
BREAK THE BAD NEWS.

The ice
is picking up speed.

It's moving
a nautical mile an hour.

And there's nothing
in the forecast

that says that
this stuff is gonna stop.

So right now, the ice
is moving right on our gear.

So...

YOU'VE GOT TO
BE KIDDING.

[ SIGHS ]

You got to
bail and go South.

IT'S JUST BAD TIMING,
BAD LUCK.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU.

I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA ACTUALLY
GET TO FILL THIS BOAT UP.

I MEAN, IT JUST SUCKS
THAT WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW.

I WAS JUST GAINING
TRUST, HOPE, AND RESPECT

FROM THE CREW MEMBERS.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO TELL THEM.

If I was you, I'd start
manning up a little bit.

YEAH.

I DON'T KNOW
IF I'LL HAVE ANY GUYS LEFT

AT THE END OF THE SEASON,
BUT WHATEVER.

Somebody's
got to be in charge.

Somebody over there's
got to be the boss.

And the crew needs to know.
You follow me?

You got to be the force,
Jake,

OR YOU ARE DOOMED.

That's all
I can tell you.

OKAY.

Well,
thanks for updating me.

ALL RIGHT, PAL.
I'LL TALK TO YOU. I'M OUT.

♪

THAT'S THE WORST NEWS THAT
THIS BOAT COULD POSSIBLY HEAR.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT TO SAY TO THEM.

Narrator: 385 MILES NORTHWEST
OF DUTCH HARBOR,

ABOARD THE SAGA...

Jake:
WELL I JUST GOT BAD NEWS,

AND THAT IS
THAT THE ICE IS COMING

TO COVER UP
OUR FISHING GROUNDS.

Narrator:
THE FAST-MOVING ICE PACK HAS
FORCED CAPTAIN JAKE ANDERSON

TO ABANDON THE BEST FISHING
HE'S HAD ALL SEASON.

HAVING TO MOVE OFF GROUNDS
THAT WE JUST FOUND

AND WE KNOW
THERE'S CRAB HERE...

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT TO THINK OF IT.

Brandon:
JAKE'S DOING WELL.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
SIT DOWN WITH JAKE

AND GIVE HIM
A BIG OLD HUG.

Man:
HE'S GETTING ON THE CRAB.

THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY.

AND KEEPING US SAFE.

I ASSUME
IT'S GOING WELL.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
ABOUT 5 MILES.

TRY TO HUSTLE UP.

YEAH. I'LL MEET YOU GUYS
IN THE GALLEY.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT TO SAY TO THEM.

Narrator: NOW THE SKIPPER MUST
BREAK THE BAD NEWS TO THE CREW.

HOLY CRAP.

SO, WHAT'S GOING ON?

Jake: I JUST GOT OFF THE RADIO
WITH SIG.

AND, UM...
THE ICE IS COMING.

IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD

'CAUSE IT CAME DOWN FAST.

IT WAS FINE
WHEN WE WERE IN ST. PAUL.

BUT NOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
PICK UP THE GEAR

AND RUN IT SOUTH
AND GET IT OUT OF THE ICE.

I'M [BLEEP] SORRY,
YOU GUYS.

YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN [BLEEP]
WORKING YOUR [BLEEP] ASSES OFF.

WE'RE GONNA
GET THROUGH IT.

WE'RE GONNA
GET THROUGH THIS.

♪

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I'M NOT VERY HAPPY RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE HIGH-TAILING IT
OUT OF HERE.

NEED TO PICK UP THIS STRING,
STACK IT, AND RUN SOUTH.

[BLEEP] POOR DECISION MAKING.

WELL THE CRAB'S GOOD,
BUT WE CAN'T STAY.

I MEAN, IT ALL SUCKS.

BUT I MEAN, I GUESS WE JUST
GOT TO QUICK GO THROUGH IT.

Jake: I'M JUST GETTING RESPECT
FROM THE CREW.

I COULD SEE IT WAS CHANGING.

YOU KNOW,
"MAYBE THIS GUY IS OUR LEADER.

MAYBE HE IS GOOD."

IT'S KIND OF ONE OF THOSE
GET [BLEEP] DEALS.

Jake: NOW WE MAY NEVER KNOW.

Narrator: 50 MILES SOUTHWEST

IS THE 155-FOOT WIZARD.

Keith: GLAD WE GOT OUT HERE

AND GOT ON THE GOOD FISHING
AND STAYED ON THE GOOD FISHING.

Narrator:
CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN IS
IN THE MIDST OF A FOUR-DAY GRIND

TO FILL THEIR TANKS
BEFORE THE ICE OVERTAKES THEM.

IT'S BEEN A LONG GRIND.

WE'RE JUST ABOUT DONE.

MAKES ME FEEL WONDERFUL.

PICKING UP OUR LAST PASSENGERS.

GETTING THIS THING WRAPPED UP.

EVERYBODY'S BEEN PRESSED
RIGHT TO THE EDGE ON THIS

TO BE ABLE TO GET HOME.

YOU GO DOWN A MAN,

EVERYBODY HAS TO
PICK UP THAT GUY'S SLACK.

RIGEL'S IN HIS BUNK
GETTING HIS BEAUTY SLEEP.

WE DON'T MISS HIM.

AND FOR ALMOST
THE MAJORITY OF THIS TRIP,

MY GUYS HAVE BEEN
PICKING UP RIGEL'S SLACK.

Narrator: JUST DAYS AGO...

AAH!

[BLEEP] ME.

Narrator: ...JUST TWO POTS IN,

AN OLD INJURY TOOK DOWN
GREENHORN RIGEL GREENWAY...

THIS WENT IN,
UNDER, AND OVER.

...AN INJURY HE FAILED TO
DISCLOSE BEFORE SIGNING ON...

Keith: QUITE FRANKLY,
I FEEL LIKE YOU BEEN DISHONEST

TO ME AND THE REST
OF THIS CREW.

...LEAVING THE WIZARD
A MAN SHORT.

AND GUESS WHAT.

YOU GOT SEVEN GUYS
ON THIS BOAT RIGHT NOW.

THEY JUST ALL

Man: WE'RE NOT MAKING ANY MONEY.
WE'RE GOING BACKWARDS.

SO IT'S ACTUALLY COSTING ME

Narrator: 350 MILES SOUTHEAST
IN DUTCH HARBOR...

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO WITH YOU.

I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT
YOU FALSIFIED YOUR

[BLEEP] MEDICAL STATEMENT.

DO YOU THINK YOU WERE COMPLETELY
UP FRONT AND TRUTHFUL WITH ME

ON YOUR MEDICAL ASSESSMENT?

I WAS CONVINCED THAT
I COULD DO IT.

SO I THOUGHT IT WAS...

BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS.

WE JUST WORKED ALMOST
AN ENTIRE TRIP WITH FOUR GUYS.

WE'RE A TEAM.

AND WE CAN'T HAVE A TEAM PLAYER
THAT COMES IN THAT ISN'T AT 100%

AND ISN'T BEING
HONEST AND TRUTHFUL.

BY THE TERMS OF YOUR CONTRACT,
IF YOU'RE HIDING SOMETHING,

WHETHER IT'S A DRUG PROBLEM

OR WHETHER IT'S
A MEDICAL CONDITION,

YOU CAN BE DISMISSED,
ALL RIGHT?

WHICH MEANS THAT
YOUR 2 1/2% GOES TO 1 1/2%.

WHICH MEANS YOU [BLEEP] DIDN'T
MAKE MONEY COMING UP HERE.

IS IT FAIR?

IT'S OVERLY FAIR.

GETTING YOU ON A PLANE.

YOU'LL GO HOME
AND TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

HOW MANY CRAB

BEARING DOWN FROM THE NORTH...

THE GAME PLAN IS
TO JUST STACK ALL THESE ON

AND MOVE 58 MILES SOUTH.

Narrator: ...THE YOUNG CAPTAIN
RETREATS TO SAFER GROUNDS.

THE BEST FISHING
WE'VE SEEN ALL SEASON.

IT'S JUST SAD THAT WE GOT TO GO.

WE'RE ABOUT AT A 200 AVERAGE.

IT'S TOO BAD WE CAN'T

[BLEEP] GET THE REST OF THEM
AROUND HERE.

I THINK, IN A COUPLE DAYS,
WE'RE GONNA BE BEGGING FOR 200s.

LOOKS LIKE NICE CRAB,

BUT, UNFORTUNATELY,
WE CAN'T STAY HERE.

SUCKS HAVING TO RUN AWAY FROM
OUR NEW HOME.

I DON'T KNOW.
IT IS WHAT IT IS.

[BLEEP] JOKE.

IT'D BE BETTER
IF ELLIOTT WAS HERE.

YOU KNOW,
WE'D ALMOST BE DONE BY NOW.

HE'S A LOT BETTER FISHERMAN.

THEY DON'T GET IT.

I'M JUST SAYING IT WOULD BE
BETTER IF ELLIOTT WAS HERE.

IT'S HIS BOAT.

Jake: NO, HE SHOULDN'T BE HERE,
'CAUSE HE [BLEEP] UP.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

AND IF THOSE [BLEEP]
DON'T REALIZE THAT,

THEN THEY'RE JUST AS
[BLEEP] STUPID.

I MEAN, BASICALLY WHAT
THEY'VE SAID IS

THEY'D RATHER HAVE A JUNKIE
RUNNING THE BOAT THAN ME.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE SAID.

THIS [BLEEP] SUCKS.

THEY THINK THEY'RE SO SMART.

THEY THINK THEY'VE GOT
EVERYTHING FIGURED OUT

AND ELLIOTT'S THEIR SAVIOR.

WELL, WHERE'S ELLIOTT NOW?

WHERE IS HE?

I BROUGHT US CRAB.
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.

I GIVE THEM SLEEP.
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.

I'M DOING MY [BLEEP] BEST TO
GET THEM HOME SAFELY,

AND THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.

I'M TIRED OF
[BLEEP] HEARING ABOUT IT.

I'M TIRED OF
BEING [BLEEP] NICE TO THEM.

ELLIOTT NEEDS TO
COME BACK AND TAKE CONTROL.

...PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

CHECK THIS OUT --

I DON'T NEED THEIR APPROVAL.

I DON'T NEED THEM TO TELL ME
I'M DOING A GOOD JOB.

THEY THINK BY
THROWING THE HOOK REAL WELL

OR STACKING SOME [BLEEP] POTS
MEANS SOMETHING.

IT DOESN'T MEAN [BLEEP]

THIS IS THE HARDEST SEASON
THEY'VE HAD.

THEY [BLEEP]
NEVER FISHED OPIES BEFORE.

LITTLE BABIES.

I'VE HAD TOUGHER [BLEEP] DAYS
THAN THEY'VE HAD YEARS.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY,
TAKE YOU GEAR OFF.

MEET ME IN THE GALLEY.

SO, I JUST WANT TO SAY
THE REASON WHY WE'RE HAVING

THIS [BLEEP] TALK IS 'CAUSE
IT'S ON EVERYBODY'S MIND.

WHO THE [BLEEP]
IS THE CAPTAIN?

YOU NOW, I WAS GIVEN THIS BOAT.
THIS BOAT IS MINE RIGHT NOW.

I'M NOT GONNA ARGUE WITH YOU

WHAT I'M GOING TO DO WITH THIS
MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR OPERATION,

I'M NOT GONNA PUT IT
IN JEOPARDY.

SO, IT'S HARD FOR ME
TO HEAR THAT

I FEEL LIKE IT'S MY FAULT THAT
I'M IN THE WHEELHOUSE,

OR THAT IT'S FUN FOR ME TO
JUST SIT UP THERE

AND WATCH YOU GUYS GET TORTURED.

I KNOW [BLEEP] SEASONS.
I'VE HAD THEM.

I HEAR A LOT OF TALK ABOUT
ELLIOTT, AND IF HE WERE HERE,

AND HE SHOULD BE HERE.

I'M HERE TO SAY
ELLIOTT'S [BLEEP] NOT HERE.

WE GOT TO REMEMBER THAT
WE'RE HERE BECAUSE

HE [BLEEP] UP.

AND THAT'S HIS OWN
[BLEEP] DAMN FAULT.

AND IT'S HIS FAULT,
ELLIOTT ALONE.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

IF YOU FEEL SO INCLINED TO
TELL ME WHAT MY [BLEEP] JOB IS,

REMEMBER
I'M THE [BLEEP] CAPTAIN!

[BLEEP] JOKE.

DON'T [BLEEP] GIVE ME
A [BLEEP] HARD TIME.

I GOT MORE IMPORTANT
[BLEEP] ISSUES RIGHT NOW.

WHO AM I ON DECK TO CONTEST
THAT OF THE CAPTAIN?

IT'S NOT THEIR JOB TO BE
CONCERNED WITH

WHAT GOES ON IN THE WHEELHOUSE.

IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

THEIR [BLEEP] VISION STOPS AT
THE [BLEEP] HOUSE DOOR.

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE
[BLEEP] DECKHANDS

AND I'M A [BLEEP] CAPTAIN.
