Mr. Linarcos:
Order Full Ahead, Captain.

Captain Harrison:
I have already told you Mr. Linarcos, we don't have enough ballast yet to run at Full Ahead.

Mr. Linarcos:
I suggest we talk privately. (Linarcos and the Captain meet separately from the crew) I did not suggest Full Ahead, Captain. As the new owner's representative on this ship, I ordered it!

Captain Harrison:
Goddammit man the Poseidon is too fine a lady to be rushed to the junkyard on her last voyage.

Mr. Linarcos:
We're already three days behind schedule. And it's costing my consortium thousands of dollars every day to maintain a wrecking crew. I demand we dock Monday night-

Captain Harrison:
And I can't afford to gamble with the lives of my passengers!

Mr. Linarcos:
Your business is to deliver this ship where we want it, when we want it!

Captain Harrison:
Running an unstable ship at full ahead is dangerous!

Mr. Linarcos:
I am sure-

Captain Harrison:
Especially one as old as this!

Mr. Linarcos:
I am sure I don't have to remind you of my legal right to have you relieved of command. Three other officers aboard this ship have their Master's License. Now, order Full Ahead!

Captain Harrison:
You irresponsible bastard.
