RO quotes from Sea Patrol

RO

Three months working in a cafe in Darlinghurst doesn’t qualify me to feed these morons.

RO

Listen! Look, we're all running away from something. You're ahead. At least you know what you're running from.

RO

At least you didn't contract bird flu.

RO

It’s okay. Robert Dixon. Radio operator. Royal Australian Navy. [He falls back into the lake.]

RO

That’s Swain for you. Always going out on a limb for strangers. I would never do that.

RO

Nature should be avoided at all costs in my mind.

RO

Sir, this has just come in from Navcom. We’ve been requested to collect Captain Jim Roth from those co-ordinates.

RO

Oh. Yep. Okay.

Mike

[Yelling down the stairwell.] RO!

RO

[Appearing around the corner.] There’s such a thing as a pipe sir.

Mike

Keep trying to raise ET and Jaffah.

RO

As I was doing when you shouted, sir.

RO

A man goes yachting to get away from his wife. Well, if he’s gonna call her every day, he might as well stay at home. (Leaves.)

Nav

Future Mrs Robert Dixon’s gonna be one lucky girl.

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.

ET

[Grabs a fish Buffer had picked up.] Oh! Buffer! You kiss me! Kiss me!

Buffer

Unlike some of us, ET, I’ve got standards.

Chefo

I reckon that Buffer’s a one-fish kind of guy.

Buffer

Righto, you lot! I want these uppers clear for a freshwater washdown! Spider, you’re in charge!

Spider

Yes, Buff!

Spider

That storm in the night sure made a mess. You ever seen it blow as big, ET?

ET

Mate, I slept like a baby. Didn’t feel a thing. Don't know what you’re talking about.

Spider

You're pulling my chain, right? The waves were massive. They were at least 20 metres.

Chefo

20 metres, hey, Spide? You sure you weren’t asleep too?

RO

Squid for breakfast! [He throws a squid down.] Looks like we did some illegal fishing in that storm.

Spider

[Laughs.] You were saying?

RO

I believe you, Spider. How else did we get all this seafood up here?

Swain

You did a terrible job wrapping this, mate!

RO

Well, I only had one arm!

ET

Hey, Ro, any news on Swaino’s missus?

RO

Yeah. Yeah, I got an email about 20 minutes ago. [Walks off.]

[Calling after him.] And?

Mike

We'll let RO give them the good news.

RO

[Sarcastically.] Thank you sir.

Charge

She’s not here, it’s just fruit and salad.

RO

Good. Need you all in the junior sailors’ mess.

ET

Is there a problem?

RO

No, we’re gonna sing ‘Happy Birthday’.

Swain

He’s getting weirder.
