Titanic

Old salts, J. Hook and P. Crook, wharf cafe, bright weather.

...
Hook: To be out there again.

Crook: Day like today.

Hook: Mind you plain sailing days have their own dangers.

Crook: Makes merchantmen easy pickings for pirates off East Africa?

Hook: Ever tell you I had a distant rellie who was on the the Titanic?

Crook: Ha. Pull the other one.

Hook: S'true as I'm sitting here today. He was a cook. Went down with her.

Crook: Really??

Hook: So I've always remembered that those glassy calm seas, when you go full speed ahead hold just as many dangers as when you're plunging slow ahead through a Force 8.

Crook: Not to put too literary a turn on it, but the Titanic was like the world, wouldn't you say? You think the structure is indestructible but one day a small event tips the balance and we all fall down.

Hook: The world, or our bodies. How's your stomach?
