Quotes 

• Charlie Wooster : Well, I'll be doggone. Did Captain Sam ever write to you about the time she fought her way upstream with the river in full flood, taking medicine and doctoring to the people stranded up there.

  Johnny Stewart : No.

  Charlie Wooster : Or about the time she evacuated all those women and children from a settlement surrounded by a whole Sioux nation? Shooting fire arrows at the Sea Witch from both sides of the bank

  Captain Samantha Stewart : I'm not much for writing, Charlie.

• Bill Hawks : I'm warning you, Charlie, you better not let Charlie teach your new bride how to cook. This could lead to the lifetime of the bellache.

  Johnny Stewart : Well, I'll tell you, Bill. Aman that survive on a raft on biscuits soaked in salt water and raw fish can survive anything.

  Barnaby West : Were you really shipwrecked, John?

  Charlie Wooster : Sure he was, but he found his own island, though. And what an island. Palm trees, flowers, and a most beautiful.

  Johnny Stewart : Blue lagoon.

  Bill Hawks : And a native who taught.

  Johnny Stewart : Who taught me how to drive for pearls.

• Charlie Wooster : Anyway, I talked to a certified Ar-che-ologist about it.

  Captain Samantha Stewart : A what?

  Charlie Wooster : That's a man who looks for arks. He'd told me he's been searching for years for this Spanish galleon, sunk, full of treasure too.

• Christopher Hale : Storm?

  Charlie Wooster : The bottom fell out of her glass.

  Christopher Hale : Her what?

  Captain Samantha Stewart : My barometer. It says we're in for some dirty weather.

  Christopher Hale : Oh well, maybe your barometer is wrong.

  Captain Samantha Stewart : It hasn't been wrong in 30 years!

• Cooper Smith : I've heard more complaints about her than the weather.

  Charlie Wooster : It's a shame on account, if they'd listened to her, none of this would've happened in the first place.

  Cooper Smith : Being right never made any female all fired popular, especially if you're the kind of pigheaded man who won't take advice. Present company excluded

  [ie Chris] 

  Cooper Smith : .

  Charlie Wooster : I'm glad you said that, mate, on account, just last week, Captain Sam said you should take up Semaphore.

  Cooper Smith : I oughta what?

  Charlie Wooster : Waving them little flags, so you can send us messages. You wouldn't have to be coming back to camp all the time. Save your horse too. And another thing, you can stay out there and watch the Indians.

  Cooper Smith : There aren't any Indians around here, Charlie.
