I told you — my mother was a Quaker, and Quakers sometimes call their children names like 'Hope', and 'Patience'. My father was obsessed with Captain Cook, and his ship was called Endeavour. Why aren't you both laughing?
You poor sod!
I'm not calling you "Endeavour".
Call him "Sir". He likes that.
Oh, no, no,— I'll stick to "Morse", like everyone else.
[Raises his glass of beer.] Cheers!
That which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
