MAN: All hands on deck! [PIPE WHISTLING] Looking about me, I can't believe we're in a ship of the royal navy. The deck's like a barnyard! Paradise is astern, gentlemen. I'll break the men of that island if I have to flog every thieving... Which reminds me... ...10 coconuts, Crown property, were stolen on your watch. Correct, Mr. Maggs? MAGGS: I counted myself. - I'll account for the men in my watch. - They didn't take them. - Can you account for yourself? Mr. Bligh, may I recall the outward voyage? Harsh things were said, but I hoped the return trip would be better. Then suppose you return the 10 coconuts. - You think I'm so fond of them I'd steal? - Yes, you hypocrite. You stole Crown property more valuable. - Explain that! - Pearls, Mr. Christian. - Pearls? BLIGH: I believe I said pearls. Fortunately, Mr. Maggs was at the boat. He saw that native woman give you two pearls. I think I'm beginning to understand. The native woman, as you call her, gave the pearls to me. - They are not Crown property. - The goods I gave away to the natives... ...belong to the Crown. What comes back belongs to the Crown! I'm not the most patient man in the world. Give them to me! Remember, Mr. Bligh: Crown property. Very well, Mr. Christian. Crown property. - Gratings rigged. - Everybody present? - Everyone present, sir, but the surgeon. - Huh? The surgeon is ill, sir. - III? Drunk, you mean! - We had to bleed him this morning, sir. He's not fit. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Christian agree. Go below. Tell him to report on deck at once! Very good, sir. Thomas Burkitt, Matthew Thompson, step forward. CHRISTIAN: Ship's company, off hats. I'm sorry, sir. Captain Bligh... How do you feel? I'm afraid I'm a very old man, lad... ...and a very sick one. - I'll tell him again you can't report. No, boy. No, I'm not worth getting into a scrape over. For once, a midshipman gives an order. You stay where you are. A good lad. A good lad. I must pull him out. I've taken the liberty of telling the surgeon to stay. He's not able to report. I'll have no drunken relic holding up the discipline aboard my ship. Once more, bring him on deck, or I'll have you seized up and flogged. Byam doesn't wanna disobey you. I beg you, don't force the old man. He can't walk. - Go below and see for yourself. - Are you presuming to give me orders? BACCHUS: Reporting on deck for duty, sir. Mr. Morrison, do your duty. Four dozen, I believe. Four dozen it is, sir. Nothing lost, Mr. Christian. - Well? - What did you expect, Mr. Bligh? The man's dead. I call this ship's company to bear witness. - You killed him! - Silence. Ship's company dismissed. Boatswain, punishment postponed 24 hours. Aye, aye, sir. Do you hear, men? Ship's company dismissed! Bear a hand. Take him below. Drunkard? Yes, but everybody loved him. The welfare of men on shipboard... ...depends upon things that seem small. A joke at the right moment. A glass of grog. A kind word would do more with seamen than the cat-o'-nine-tails. And this ship will be the worse... ...if possible, for his death. Wonder if that's Defoe Island. The natives are cannibals... ...but it's land. The last we'll see for months. You'd better get some rest. You've been here for hours. No. I can't sleep, and it's nearly my watch. - Well, good night. - Roger. - There's something I want you to do. - Gladly. What is it? One never knows what may happen on a voyage like this. If for any reason I don't return to England, I want you to see my parents. Well, why shouldn't you return to England? Why? I can't stand this devil's work much longer. One day I'll forget this discipline and break his neck. Wait until we're back in England. The admiralty will save you the trouble. Well, in any case, I'd like you to see my parents. - Of course. Where do they live? - In Cumberland at Maincordare. I've almost forgotten what the old place ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Горячий снег на английском - текст Дюна на английском - текст Конец игры на английском - текст Просто кровь на английском - текст Конёк-Горбунок на английском |
