Mr. Linarcos : I did not suggest full ahead, Captain. As the new owner's representative on this ship, I ordered it!
Captain Harrison : Damn it man, the Poseidon is too fine a lady to be rushed to the junkyard on her last voyage!
Mr. Linarcos : We're already three days behind schedule! And it's costing my consortium thousands of dollars every day to maintain a wrecking crew. I demand we dock Monday night!
Captain Harrison : And I can't afford to gamble with the lives of my passengers!
Mr. Linarcos : Your business is to deliver this ship, where we want it, WHEN we want it!
Captain Harrison : Running an unstable ship at full ahead is dangerous!
Mr. Linarcos : I'm sure...
Captain Harrison : Especially one as old as this!
Mr. Linarcos : I'm sure I don't have to remind you of my legal right to have you relieved of command. Three other officers aboard this ship have their Master's License. Now, order Full Ahead!
