The man is hurting! He is alone, tired, and he hasn’t seen diddly-squat from anybody down here. Now you’re gonna stand there and tell me that he’s gonna give a damn about what you do to him, _if_ he makes it out of there alive? Why don’t you wake up and smell what you shoveling?

If we all go for the blonde, we block each other. Not a single one of us is going to get her. So then we go for her friends, but they will all give us the cold shoulder because nobody likes to be second choice. But what if no one goes for the blonde? We don’t get in each other’s way, and we don’t insult the other girls. It’s the only way to win. It’s the only way we all get laid.

That ain’t like the good ol’ days when venereal disease was simple. In the good old days, you got gonorrhea, your dick hurt, go get a shot, cleared right up. Then they came out with herpes, you keep that shit forever like luggage. And now they got AIDS, that just kills motherfuckers. I say, what’s next? I guess you just put your dick in and it explodes! And the girl would be on the bed: _“Maybe I should see a doctor about it…”_

Sir, Sea Tiger was built to fight. She deserves a better epitaph than ‘Commissioned 1940, sunk 1941, engagements none, shots fired none.’ Now, you can’t let it go that way. That’s like a beautiful woman dying an old maid, if you know what I mean by old maid.
