Mike quotes from Sea Patrol

Mike

Nav, what’s your take on this Campbell Fulton guy?

Nav

Uh, he’s a Marine Protection guy, sir.

Mike

Yeah, I know that, but is he a bit of a loose cannon?

Nav

He’s a Marine Protection guy, sir.

Mike

Enough said.

Mike

You didn't tell me where you were going?

Kate

I didn't know.

Mike

Not very professional.

Kate

Sir we're heading home, we don't need another debriefing.

Mike

It's not a debriefing.

Kate

It sounds like one.

Mike

Well, can't I be concerned?

Kate

Yeah sure, just don't make it sound like a debriefing.

Mike

It’s just about being at sea.

Kate

Yeah, skippering a giant plastic bath toy.

Mike

You sound upset, X. Could it be that you’d miss me?

Kate

I just think that… it would be a terrible waste for the navy.

Mike

Well, I’m sure the navy would appreciate your concern. [Pause.] If I wasn’t in the navy it would open up certain other possibilities.

Nav

We already had intelligence that you were in the galley.

Mike

No doubt they told you I was making a mess.

Nav

No comment boss

Mike

What do you know about these Buffer?

Buffer

They go bang. You don't wanna be around when they do.

Mike

Just stay calm Spider. We'll have you out of here as soon as we can.

Spider

Pretty calm sir, just a bit uncomfortable.

Buffer

How do you expect me to find you a pillow out here mate?

Mike

Who's got the machetes?

ET

We're navy sir.

Mike

How do we frame our grief? How do we make sense of a life taken away so early? These are the things we will ponder for years to come and there are no easy answers. What is clear, though, is the way ET lived his life. He represented the finest values of the Royal Australian Navy. He believed passionately. He was loyal to his crew, and he never sharped his duty. He was courageous, diligent, and his sense of humour could defuse even the most difficult situation. He was a son, he was a brother, he was a friend, and he... he was a member of my crew. We will miss him.

I now commit Leading Seaman Joshua Holiday to the sea, may his soul rest in peace.

Buffer

General salute, present, arms!

Buffer

Present! Fire! Fire! Fire!

Nav

[Under her breath.] Goodbye.

Mike

What do you think of our new Electronics Tech?

Nav

Up himself and unprofessional.

Kate

It's early days.

Spider

Excuse me X.

Kate

Mmm?

Spider

Um, I thought you might like one of these. [Hands her a picture of the guys with the baby.]

Kate

Oh, that’s very nice. Where did you get it from?

Spider

2 Dads made the border and RO printed them up.

Kate

That’s generous of RO. He’s usually very tight with his time.

Spider

Oh, no, he was tight. I had to pay for them

Kate

[Turns to Mike.] Oh, you really are gonna have to have a talk to him.

Mike

Do I have to?

I think they're still talking about this guy at ADFA

Mike

Must have been that whoopy cushion I put under the Admiral's seat at graduation parade. [To Charge.] You didn't hear that.

Mike

There are certain rumours going around the ship.

Sir, the rumours are true. Charge is really a woman.

Mike

You two alright?

Yeah.

Buffer

Yeah, boss.

Never better, boss. We just, uh, wanted to thank RO for saving my life and... oh, and Buffer’s.

Mike

You drunk, 2 Dads?

... Yes sir. As a newt, sir.

Buffer

Me too, boss. Still handle myself though.

Mike

Get below, sleep it off.

Buffer

Righto. The ship’s safe. Buffer’s here!

Mike

You know something, X?

Kate

What?

Mike

You scrub up alright.

Kate

Oh, thanks. Though the crude oil’s not that great for the hairdo.

Mike

How’d you go at the hospital?

Swain

Ah, the CT scan came back clear. Looks like it’s just a few bruised ribs.

Mike

You know what that means.

Kate

My own personal masseuse. You offering?

Mike

Light duties.
