Lookout Quotes in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973)

[first lines]

Lookout: [shouting from the crow's nest] A fine clear morning! And all is well!

Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N: This ship is getting slack, Mr. Gerard. It's taking you longer every day to clear for action.

2nd Lt. Gerard: The hands are weak, sir, and...

Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N: And what?

2nd Lt. Gerard: Restless, sir. After all, sir, seven months without sighting land.

Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N: No excuse. You ought to control them...

Lookout: Land ho! Off the starboard bow!

Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N: ...An officer who cannot control his men is not reliable.

2nd Lt. Gerard: Yes, sir. Excuse me, sir, that was "Land ho."

Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N: I have ears, Mr. Gerard.

2nd Lt. Gerard: I thought you might be interested, sir.

Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N: It took you eleven minutes and twenty seconds to clear for action the other day. I want it done in ten. Now!

2nd Lt. Gerard: Now, sir?

Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N: You seem to have your mind on something else - I said, "Now!"

Lookout: What's up man you po-po nigga, what's up.

Jeff Cole: I'm no fucking po-po.
