Dan Troop Quotes in Captains Courageous (1937)

Manuel Fidello: 15 years I've been fisherman, first time I catch fish like you.

[blows conch shell, and heads towards boat ringing bell]

Manuel Fidello: HEY, Aboard the vessel!

Captain Disko Troop: Hey!

Manuel Fidello: I bring you new kind of fish.

Captain Disko Troop: What'chu get?

Manuel Fidello: I got new kind of fish. He got no tail. He got pants on his dorsal fin. I think maybe he about 10 year old.

[pulls up next to schooner and start hauling up boy]

Dan Troop: Aw, its a kid ain't it?

Dan Troop: Wait till you see some of the places we go.

Harvey: What places?

Dan Troop: Oh, Stone Fence, St. Pierre's Bank, Whale Deep, Virgin Rock. Pop gets a ride along with the fish. Folks say he thinks like a codfish.

Harvey: Well, if thinking like a codfish is going to get me where I want to get, I don't care how he thinks.

Dan Troop: Pop could find fish in a graveyard!

Harvey: But, there's no fishing out there, is there?

Frank Burton Cheyne: The best trout fishing in the world! And if I do say it myself, I can teach you to cast a fly wherever you want to put one.

Dan Troop: I read about that kind of fishing, once, in a magazine. Manuel said that any fish that ate a bug was some kind of a frog.
