Kate quotes from Sea Patrol

Kate

[About Robert Dixon] For a communicator he's strangely uncommunicative.

Kate

2 Dads, I can’t think of anyone on the ship dumber than you are, but clearly there is someone.

Kate

[About Mike.] Believe me, he’s done his fair share of toga partying.

Kate

What do you mean you lost the CO?

Kate

Buffer? Two men to stay on board.

Buffer

ET. Jaffah. Good experience for him, ma’am.

Kate

Yeah, well, four weeks is a long time in the navy, I guess.

Mike

Uh, look, Kate. I haven’t had a chance to talk with you privately since you joined us.

Kate

No.

Mike

When we last met, on the course, I never expected we’d end up on the same ship, you being a big ship sort of person and me being wedded to patrol boats.

Kate

Yes, you’re right. I am a big ship sort of person.

Mike

Well, Hammersley has only got six months left in her, so...

Kate

As for anything else that may have happened between us, I’m sure two professionals can work together. Sir?

Mike

Yes. I’m sure.

Mike

But I think we can put that other thing behind us.

Kate

Other thing? Yeah, that’s what I’d call it. “Other thing.”

Mike

You’ve been on Hammersley now...?

Kate

48 hours, sir.

Mike

Welcome aboard.

Mike

Enjoying yourself, X?

Kate

Driving a patrol boat is very different to a frigate.

Nav

Ha! Yeah, different as! Like a V8 and a schoolbus.

Mike

You’re a westie petrolhead, Nav.

The gunner is there because...?

Kate

In case of sharks.

Buffer

Oh, I wouldn’t concern yourself, ma’am. No self respecting shark would eat him.

Nav

But if one just snacked on him a little, might do the women of the world a favour.

Kate

She strikes me as the sort of woman who relates better to men then to other women.

Mike

That’s a crime now?

Kate

She looks for the alpha male and she concentrates on him and everyone else is invisible.

Mike

I’m the alpha male?

Kate

[Chuckles.] Oh, and don’t you know it.

Mike

And he’s under the impression that you’re Wonder Woman.

Kate

Oh, you didn’t already know that?

Kate

Sir, four elephants and a giraffe could’ve gone over in that storm, we’d never know.

Mike

I think we can safely not bother looking for any elephants. The giraffe on the other hand…

Spider

They're going to be ok aren't they? Right? X?

Kate

I don't know Spider, I'm not a doctor.

Spider

But it's just a jellyfish sting.

Kate

Well, severe Irukandji syndrome can be fatal. I've got to get back to the bridge. If there is any change in his condition get Swain immediately. Understood?

Spider

Yes Sir... [Kate gives him a look.] Um, ma'am.

Kate

You seem like a discerning kind of guy.

RO

Oh, thank you, ma’am. I like to think so.

Kate

Hmm. I’m curious. Have you ever had any restaurant experience?

RO

[Smugly.] I did happen to work for a couple of months in a Darlinghurst cafe.

Kate

Oh! That’s perfect.

RO

Why?

Kate

You’ve just volunteered for galley duty. I want you to prepare dinner for the crew. Nothing too elaborate

RO

It’s disgusting in there!

Kate

And don’t forget our guests.

Kate

[Watching Mike go to Bright Island.] Now I know why he wanted to go himself.

Nav

Hmm? [Looks through her binoculars. It’s Ursula Morrell.] Oh, he knew it was her all along. Naughty Mike.
