Moby Dick

[Old Thunder]

"What a noble thing is that canticle in the fish's belly!

 

[Old Thunder]

"How billow-like and boisterously grand!

 

[Old Thunder]

"We feel the floods surging over us; we sound with him to the kelpy bottom of the waters; sea-weed and all the slime of the sea is about us!

 

[Froggy Fool]

OH MA GAWD, OH MA GAWD, OH MA GAWD!!

It's continuing! My life has been resurrected!

 

[Old Thunder]

"But what is this lesson that the book of Jonah teaches?

OH MA GAWD, OH MA GAWD, OH MA GAWD!!

It's continuing! My life has been resurrected!

Back in port, I see?

 

[Froggy Fool]

I see?

Do you?

 

[Old Thunder]

"Shipmates, it is a two-stranded lesson; a lesson to us all as sinful men, and a lesson to me a pilot of the living God.

Do you?

Am rather blind from being so often below the sun. Whaling is hard labour.

 

[Froggy Fool]

I can see.

 

[Old Thunder]

"As sinful men, it is a lesson to us all, because it is a story of the sin, hardheartedness, suddenly awakened fears, the swift punishment, repentance, prayers, and finally the deliverance and joy of Jonah.

 

[Old Thunder]

"As with all sinners among men, the sin of this son of Amittai was in his wilful disobedience of the command of God -- never mind now what that command was, or how conveyed -- which he found a hard command.

I can see.

What do you see?
