Adventure (1945)

Philip Merivale: 'Old' Ramon Estado

Quotes 

• Young Ramon Estado : Why do sailors drink so hard?

  Old Ramon Estado : That is a complicated matter.

• Harry Patterson : Why didn't you keep that kid on the farm?

  Old Ramon Estado : The sea is a good school also, is it not?

  Harry Patterson : Oh, yes, swell, grandpa. We turn out some awful smart seagulls and sharks.

• Old Ramon Estado : It is mad, no doubt, but peaceful. And it should be a little violent to be peaceful. Oh, my wife and I live familiarly as two old shoes; yet, we live in conflict. We live to make each other laugh and the children are our audience. We are greater strangers than the day we met. And that's, my friend, familiarity breeds beauty.
