"Ishmael" :
Ehhhh, you can't fool us;
it's the easiest thing in the world for a man to look as if he's got some great secret in him.
Elijah :
I have, lad, I have. At sea one day,
You'll smell land where there'll be no land,
and on that day Ahab will go
to his grave, but he'll rise again within the hour.
He will rise and beckon. Then all - all save one shall follow. (Slinking away with a smile on his face) Mornin', lads... mornin'. May the heavens bless Ye.
Moby Dick (1956): Gregory Peck's best scene
[last lines]
"Ishmael" : The coffin. Drowned Queequeg's coffin was my life buoy. For one whole day and night , it sustained me on that soft and dirge-like main. Then, a sail appeared; It was the Rachel. The Rachel who in her long melancholy search for her missing children found... another orphan. The drama's done. All are departed away. The great shroud of the sea rolls over the Pequod, her crew, and Moby Dick. I only am escaped... alone, to tell thee.
