Starboard's This Way Full Transcript
Secretary Cleary
Where's Sack?
Claire Cleary
Oh, he's still not feeling very well.
Secretary Cleary
Well, then, we'll sail without him. John, my boy.
John Beckwith
Yes?
Secretary Cleary
We're tacking back round. Do me a favor, ease the sheets... swing the jib starboard.
John Beckwith
Okay, let me, uh... Okay. One minute.
Claire Cleary
Hi.
John Beckwith
Hi.
Claire Cleary
How's it going?
John Beckwith
Oh, just swinging the jib here for your dad. Starboard. Trying to get it over here and crease the sheet.
Claire Cleary
Um, But starboard's this way.
John Beckwith
Oh, that's right. What am I...?
Claire Cleary
Yeah.
John Beckwith
What am I thinking?
Claire Cleary
I'll help.
John Beckwith
Okay.
Claire Cleary
Hang on, hang on. Watch the jib boom. All right, push it. Push it this way.
John Beckwith
Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is better.
Claire Cleary
Come on, use some muscle.
John Beckwith
There we go.
Claire Cleary
All right, that's beautiful. Done. Done.
John Beckwith
I'm used to sailing down under with the Kiwis... so everything is backwards. Even the toilets, when you flush them, the water spins the opposite way. Really freaks you out the first time you see it.
Secretary Cleary
John, my boy. Come on up here. Man the Woodwind for a while.
John Beckwith
On my way. Hey, your dad was telling me about a great beach near here... that maybe we could check out, if you have any interest, when we get back.
Claire Cleary
Yeah.
John Beckwith
Great. Okay, it can get confusing up here. If you have a problem, just give me a call.
Claire Cleary
Thank you.
John Beckwith
Ah, sailing. What have we got, captain? Take the wheel.
