Quote context

[...]

- Oh, you couldn't be more right, Charlie, dear.

- Now, Rosie, I'm glad you agree. When the time comes, I'll put you off here on the east shore. You'll wait for me while I attend to the Louisa.

- Oh, certainly not. You're the one to put ashore. This whole thing was my idea, wasn't it? I'm the logical one to carry it out.

- Rosie, I'm surprised at you. You're a very sensible woman, as a rule.

- Why, with two torpedoes hangin' off our bow, she'll steer entirely different, let alone being' half swamped.

- Didn't I steer us down the rapids?

- But suppose she broke down out there, wouldn't you look foolish?

- With me, she knows who her boss is, you bet that old engine does.

- Well, I suppose you're right.

- Now, that's settled.

- Oh, no, no. I only meant it may be necessary for you to come along.

- Come along? Oh, no, you don't! You'll wait for me on the east shore.
