The Extraordinary Seaman

Jennifer Winslow:
[Pointing to something in the water beyond the ship] I wonder what that is?

Lt. Morton Krim:
[Excitedly] What? What? Where?

Jennifer Winslow:
There, floating...

Lt. Morton Krim:
Oh, that's, uh, that's just some flotsam, or jetsam. Whatever the difference is.

Jennifer Winslow:
Well, flotsam is something from a shipwreck, and jetsam is something thrown overboard in order to lighten the ship.

Lt. Morton Krim:
Oh... I guess that makes me flotsam, then.

Jennifer Winslow:
And apparently my brother considers me jetsam.

Lt. Morton Krim:
That must've been some kind of mistake.

Jennifer Winslow:
Oh, Johnny and I were never exactly close. When I was nine, he tried to sell me to a steamer captain. I guess it comes from living in the islands.
