经典对白：

　　If she was a frigate,then I am a Dutchman.

　　It was an unfair match .There was no dishonour in it .

　　She was more like a ship of the line.You have to wonder about her hull

　　Our shots wouldn’t penetrate.

　　Trip-shotted at 200 yards-no effect,She had the weather gauge and a clear advantage in firepower.
　　What is the weather gauge?

　　SHall I show you again,Stephen?Not on the cloth
　
　　It means she had the wind in her favour,therefore control of the engagement.

　　and she had longer guns,so she couldhit us beyond out range.

　　The simple fact is we were soundly beaten.

　　Heavey frigate like that in the pacific.

　　Could tip the war in Napoleon’s favour.

　　By conparison the surprise is a somewhat aged man of war !

　　Am Inot correct?

　　Would u call me an age man of war ?

　　The surprise is not old,no one would call her old ,she has bluff bow,lovely lines.

　　She’s a fine sea boet weatherly,stiffandfast ,wery fast,if she’s well handled

　　NO,she is not old

　　She is in her prime.

　　We can patch up the main and mizzen.,foresail’s gone,so we will ben our spare

　　Mr.Lamb is confident with basic repairs

　　We can get home as we are,.

　　We’re not going home,but tp refit we need a port and the Archeron,may be still loking for us !

　　We can refit at sea,here where it shoals.

　　As u said MR.allen she is taking the war to the susouth seas.We are suppose to stop her

　　But,Sir with respect-she’s a vastly heavier ship ,she’s out of our class.

　　She could be halfway to cape horn by the time we’re repaired.

　　Well then there’s not a moment lose.
