The Decks Ran Red (1958)

Broderick Crawford: Henry Scott

Quotes 

• Henry Scott : You're no match for me without that knife.

  Capt. Edwin Rummill : I'm not going to throw it away to find out.

• Leroy Martin : [as the two of them drag Mace from his bunk]  What're you gonna' do with him?

  Henry Scott : We'll throw him off the stern.

  Leroy Martin : He'll scream like a stuck pig.

  Henry Scott : Nobody'll hear him.

  [They proceed to drag Mace, kicking and struggling, back to the stern of the ship, where they toss him into the sea] 

• Henry Scott : Rummill, you're no sailor. You're like the rest of those panty-waists on luxury liners: cocktail parties, watercress sandwiches and drinking tea. That's your racket!

  Capt. Edwin Rummill : Looks like it's going to be your brawn against my brain, doesn't it?

  Henry Scott : Yeah, it does!

  [He lunges at the captain, and a struggle ensues] 

• Henry Scott : He's gonna bring a dame on board, huh. This I gotta see.

• Henry Scott : Now look, Mace, how would you like to have all the money you need? Enough to buy all the dames and champagne you want? Even a nice big red sports car and, if you're a gambling man, enough to bet the races - a thousand dollars a race?

  Mace : Are you nuts? What are you tryin' to give me?

  Henry Scott : I'm giving you a million dollar idea.

• Henry Scott : They're flying some joker out with better connections. It's not the record that counts, it's who you look up to back at the home office.

  Tom Walsh : I wouldn't go that far, Scott.

  Henry Scott : I'm going topside to get some fresh air - before I vomit.

• Henry Scott : For 10 years I've been workin' for the breaks. Now, they're starting to come my way and fast. Another things gonna help, that well stacked doll we've got on board. We can parade her in front of these apes.

• Henry Scott : This broad's a gift from heaven. All right, Leroy, you know what to do. Get to work.

  Leroy Martin : It will be a pleasure, Mr. Scott.

• Henry Scott : Let me tell you about Leroy, he can break 'em down fast. When he makes a play for a dame, he usually gets it.

• Leroy Martin : The boys been doin' a lot of talkin'. You know, they got funny ideas.

  Capt. Edwin Rummill : Funny ideas?

  Henry Scott : Yeah, about what's been goin' on up here.

  Leroy Martin : Meanin' you and the doll, sir.

• Henry Scott : I've been doin' a lot of thinkin' - thinkin' about the skipper and that broad on board who's just loaded with sex.

• Henry Scott : We can use this, Leroy. We'll balloon it - balloon it to the sky. This is the clincher we've been waitin' for.

• Henry Scott : I've been waitin' for nine years. Tonight's the night.
