Moby Dick Quotes in Dot and the Whale (1986)

Moby Dick: What do you want?

Dot: It's about Tonga. Do you know her? She's a whale too.

Moby Dick: There are so few of us left. I know them all.

Dot: Would you tell her to return to the sea?

Moby Dick: I will not tell her anything.

Dot: But please, she'll die soon. There won't be any time left.

Moby Dick: Listen. Listen to me. You've heard my story. You know how I fought against the greatest whaler of them all, the mighty Captain Ahab. I may have one that battle, but we have lost the war. If Tonga wishes to die on the sand, let her. It will save them the trouble of killing her. It is people who must decide what happens to us. Why don't they leave us alone?
