• Mipps the Coffin Maker : Where there's sailors, there's trade!

  Mrs. Waggetts, Pub Owner : And trouble!

• Capt. Howard Collyer, R.N. : What's this?

  Mrs. Waggetts, Pub Owner : Tar for the nets.

  Capt. Howard Collyer, R.N. : And this?

  Mrs. Waggetts, Pub Owner : White varnish for the oars and fancy pieces.

  Capt. Howard Collyer, R.N. : Are you sure it isn't white Hollands gin? Draw me a glass of it?

  Mipps the Coffin Maker : Draw you a glass of white varnish?

  Capt. Howard Collyer, R.N. : You heard me. Give him a glass.

  Collyer's Bo'sun : Don't smell like white varnish.

  Capt. Howard Collyer, R.N. : And it doesn't look like white varnish.

  Mrs. Waggetts, Pub Owner : [laughing]  But it *is* white varnish.

  Capt. Howard Collyer, R.N. : Why couldn't you tell me?

  Capt. Howard Collyer, R.N. : [sarcastically]  Try a drop o' tar now, captain?

• Mipps the Coffin Maker : We did that neat Mrs Waggetts, very neat.

  Mrs. Waggetts, Pub Owner : You're a comfort to me Mr Mipps, you are indeed.

  Mipps the Coffin Maker : Not o' that now, none o' that. A man in the death trade should keep single. He sees enough misery without marryin'.
