Quote context
[...]
- No other reason was to count with you as long as I wasn't married already.
- You want me to get dressed and go ashore, don't you? Oh, yes, you do.
- I suppose if I tried to tell you that I wasn't that no more... you'd believe me, wouldn't you?
- And I sized you up as different from the ones on land, as water is from mud.
- I couldn't marry you with you believing a lie. And I was ashamed to tell you the truth.
- And now, give me a bawling-out and beat it... like I can tell you're going to.
- Will you believe it... if I tell you that loving you has made me clean?
- It's straight goods, honest.
- Oh, yes, you will. You're just like all the rest.
