Hope Lange: Carolyn Muir

Quotes 

• Carolyn Muir : [frustrated with Claymore]  Ooo, blast!

  Capt. Daniel Gregg : Hey, madam, your language.

• Capt. Daniel Gregg : My dear madam, would you be of a mind to back that dream with something a little more concrete than words, say, a five dollar wager?

  Carolyn Muir : You've got yourself a bet, Captain., That's in American money, not rusted sovereigns.

• [explosion above] 

  Carolyn Muir : What was that? Sounds like it's coming from the attic.

  Martha Grant : Either that's the water heater coming to life or it's about to end ours.

• Martha Grant : Breaks my heart to see that poor little plucked chicken sitting in a pot of cold water with its legs crossed, freezing to death.

  Carolyn Muir : Better the chicken isn't plucked. The feathers will keep it warm.

• [Daniel sits as Carolyn tries to fix the water heater] 

  Capt. Daniel Gregg : I'm a sea captain, not a plumber.

  Carolyn Muir : You don't know HOW to fix it.

  Capt. Daniel Gregg : What I meant was that, as a sea captain, there are certain tasks that are beneath my dignity to perform. Do I make myself clear?

  Carolyn Muir : Perfectly. You don't know how.

• Capt. Daniel Gregg : For the life of me I cannot understand why a ship is always referred to in the female gender. A ship is responsive to commands. A female is obstinate. A ship is reliable. A female is erratic and capricious. A ship has its own unique qualities. A female is just like any other female. Madam, I withdraw that. You are not like other females. You are unique.

  Carolyn Muir : Thank you... I think.
