Nav quotes from Sea Patrol

Mike

What’s happening, Buffer?

Buffer

They’re still looking for a tube, sir.

Mike

[Looks thoughtful.] Tell X she’s got a pistol. Use it.

Buffer

You want him to shoot her?

Mike

Tell X to break down her Browning, remove the 9-millimetre barrel, use it as a tube. Over.

Buffer

Got it.

Mike

[Chuckles.] Shoot her.

Nav

Well, that’s one way of ending a crisis.

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.

Mike

Nav, mark the buoy’s position on radar.

Nav

It’s already marked, sir.

Mike

Just once I’d like to get in ahead of you,

Nav

[Laughs.] In your dreams, 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

[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.

Nav

Chefo’s excelled himself tonight. The scran’s really good.

Scran?

Nav

Uh...

Mike

[Interrupting.] Stuff.

Nav

Stuff Cooked by the Royal Australian Navy.

I see.

Kate

Don’t let that put you off.

Mike

X, aren’t you officer of the watch this evening?

Kate

Yes. I’m sorry, sir. I was enjoying myself so much, I almost forgot I had somewhere else to be. Please excuse me.

She’s a bit lemon-lipped, isn’t she?

Mike

Please don’t take it personally. The XO hates to see an ice boat get away. She’s extremely dedicated.

Nav

Oh, you look fabulous!

Kate

I would like to thank my personal stylist, Lieutenant Commander Mike Flynn, for the loan of his very favourite fishing shirt.

Mike

Black eye adds a degree of authenticity to the ensemble. Don’t you think?

ET

Ease off, Nav. I didn’t volunteer for this gig.

Mike

No, you're there because you failed to keep an eye on David.

Spider

Yeah, believe me, ET. No one volunteered for this gig.

Nav

Roger Romeo2, we might have to sink it. Over.

ET

Wow, what about the Maritime salvaging rights, there might be a ferrari in this thing.

Nav

And who's gonna drive it back to base, Romeo? You?

Chefo

Alright. I’m taking bets to see how many rounds it’ll take. My money’s on a single shot.

Spider

One shot for me.

Chefo

Trust the Spider.

Nav

I vote for three. I think you boys might miss the first couple.

Chefo

Whoo. Nav doesn’t think much of our gunnery skills.

Mike

Let’s focus on the job at hand.

Nav

Sorry, boss.

Mike

If the navy permitted a wager... I’d bet on two rounds of the 50-cal.

Buffer

I’m with you, sir.

Nav

Present company excluded.

Mike

Charming Nav.

Thank you! Thank you for everything!

Kate

[With a wave.] Crash into a reef.

Nav

[Also waving.] Get eaten by a shark.

What are you girls up to?

Nav

Nothing.

Kate

[At the same time.] Web check.

Kate

Nothing.

Nav

[At the same time.] Web Check.

Nav

I reckon they'd call it the rescue complex.

ET

So what, you're saying she needed to be rescued?

Nav

The rescue complex refers to the one doing the rescuing. You seemed pretty keen to wanna rescue her. [ET tries to speak] Glad she didn't shoot you though. Well, maybe glad is to strong a word.

Nav

Think like a little boy again.

ET

I never stopped.
