Yankee Buccaneer

Chief Petty Officer Link:
[Speaking of Porter] As an instructor it was his job to chew midshipmen off, and just between us, you gave him plenty of cause.

Lt. David Farragut:
When a man's religion is the book of Navy regulations, he gotta be sour inside, and your captain's a very sour man, Mr. Link.

Cmdr. David Porter:
[to his crew] Gentlemen, we are now a ship without a country.

Cmdr. David Porter:
I don't envy you, Mr. Farragut. You win't be the most popular nan after we ride out this storm - if we ride it out.

Lt. Romero:
[Concerning their bringing the countess with them] Davy Lad, what's the skipper gonna say about her?

Lt. David Farragut:
I shudder to think, Link. I shudder to think.

Cmdr. David Porter:
Well, Mr. Link, you're probably witnessing the end of a long and honorable naval career.

Chief Petty Officer Link:
Yes, sir! But what away to go, sir!

Cmdr. David Porter:
I'm afraid there's a limit to nobility... even for Americans.
