Quote context

[...]

- Could you make a torpedo, Mr. Allnut? Well, do so, Mr. Allnut.

- Did you say something?

- Me, Miss? I didn't say nothin', Miss.

- Anything wrong, Mr. Allnut?

- Eh, it's just this old boiler, Miss. She's leaking' steam. See?

- Oh.

- Uh, why are you kicking the boiler, Mr. Allnut?

- Heat pump's full of rust and scum. She gets clogged up.

- And that's all you have to do? Just kick it?

- Ha ha ha! It's knowing' how to kick her, Miss.

- She gets peevish now and then... ever since I dropped a screwdriver down the safety valve.

- What would happen if you didn't kick it?

- The whole boiler'd blow up.

- Then why don't you dismantle the safety valve and remove the screwdriver?

- You know, I'm gonna do that one of these days. The only reason I haven't up to now is that I kinda like kicking' her. She's all I've got.
