[ahab, spoken]
no lowering for whales after sundown. right
two he#rs#s, two he#rs#s, floating over the ocean with waves for pall#bearers
ha! ha
such a strange sight that p#rs#e. such a sight we shall not soon see

[starbuck]
captain! captain ahab i bring ill news. the men have discovered a leak among the oil casks below. the floor is wet with oil and seawater. we must anchor and make repairs

[ahab]
anchor and make repairs…
who cares starbuck my child, [?]
we draw near, i feel it in my bones and leg!
thou would have us heave to for a week and anchor and look for barrels

[starbuck]
i could do that sir or we may waste in one week more oil than we make in a year, what we’ve come twenty thousand miles to get! it’s worth saving, sir

[ahab]
so it is, so it is
if we get it…

[starbuck]
i was speaking of the oil in the hold sir

[ahab]
and i was not speaking of thinking of that at all. begone, let it leak! i will leak myself, aye, but i will not stop to plug my leak! starbuck i’ll not anchor. now back on deck with thee

[starbuck]
what will the owners say, sir?

[ahab]
let the owners stand on nantucket beach and out#yell the typhoons, what cares ahab? owners. owners. thou art always needling me starbuck about those mightily owners as if the owners were my conscious. ye dare me devil? dost thou dare to criticize me? dost thou dare murmur mutiny? now back on deck!

[starbuck]
nay, sir, not yet. i#

[ahab]
you daren’t!

[starbuck]
i do dare, sir!
shall we not understand each other better than hitherto# captain ahab i#

[ahab]
there is one god that is lord over the earth and one captain that is lord over the pequod now. back. on. deck!

[starbuck]
you will lose the men
if they see you letting the oil leak you will lose the men

[ahab]
[?]
anchor, make the repairs

[starbuck]
i thank thee, sir. right away
i won’t ask thee to beware of starbuck. [?]. but let ahab beware of ahab. beware of thyself, old man

[ahab]
let ahab beware of ahab…
let ahab beware of ahab!
ha!
now that’s something there
