Zorran quotes from Tugs

I wouldn't try that little fella on a tramper that size, it might crush him! [cackling]

Oi! Zorran? Where's the salvage team? We can't do this on our own! Oi, come back here!

I'll do the best I can, Ten Cents.

Huh? Oh, yeah, of course. Come on, Little Ditcher, you can do it…

Captain Star

[narrating] Ten Cents suspected that Zorran had only pretended to alert the salvage crew. He wanted to keep the Stars trapped up river.

O.J.

Yeah, come on. Get on with it!

Here we go…

Yes, 3-2-1-Go!

Don’t rush me, I do the countdown! 10… 9… 8…-

Zug…

7… 6…-

Zug?

5… 4…-

ANSWER ME, YOU FOOL!

3… 2… 1… FIRE!

GERONIMO! What a sight. What a bang. BRILLIANT!!!

I do believe we have to agree with him. Whoops!

O.J.

Don't fight the flow, go with it!

(cheers) Woo-hoo! Come on lads!

Yes!

O.J.

Well done! Let's go!

Ooh, You got a problem there, Zorran.

(sarcastically) Oh yeah?

Hey, Zug! Zug! Doesn't Zorran look funny, eh? Stuck up on those rocks!

Well, er- I suppose that er- heh… heh heh… (Zug desperately tries not to laugh, but can't help himself)

Stop laughing! Stop laughing, it's not funny!

Well, we think it is! Don't we, Zug?

Yeah. Uh, no….

O.J.

Alright, joke's over. Back and pick up our barges. Problem solved.

Thanks to me, you didn't believe I'm an expert, did you?

Aye, true.

Well, there was an element of luck, I suspect, but I must say, I am quite impressed.

Well, I can't play any more games with you. I've got real work to do.

Bye, Billy!

Captain Star

[narrating] For once in his life, Shoepack had done a great job.

Never mind him. What about me?!

In trouble, Zorran? Looks like you got crushed instead of Little Ditcher!

Captain Star

[narrating] [Chuckles] The only thing Zorran succeeded in doing that day, was trapping himself instead of the Star Tugs!

Captain Star

[narrating] Izzy Gomez (the old tramper) had failed all day to get a cheap tow into port. So, he decided to try and sneak in for Free, with the help of the fog.

Hello, hello!

Hmm!

Ha ha! You never learn, do you, Izzy? Eh? [Chuckles] Crime doesn't pay, you know!

Don’t know what you talk about.

Slipping into port, on your own, without a tow? Well I hope you run aground! I'll be there; you'll be my salvage!

Hey, I no salvage! Okay. Fifty, most I give you for a tow.

Eh?! Get lost! Not for Five Hundred! You'll be worth more as scrap! [leaves]

Well, I did ask about a tow, and I did not get a tow, so…. [pulls up anchor]

Heh. That Izzy. I'll get him one day! Anyway, with luck, there should be a few distress calls today, eh? Suckers always pay at least double to get 'em out of trouble.

[sneaks into port in the fog] It’s very foggy, but if I see nobody, nobody can see me, Hmm. So I get into port free. It's good! [Izzy sees the White Fleet] Hey! You watch where you're going! ….Why they don't answer? Is funny…. Ay Carumba, is-a Ghosts! Oh, don't take me, I got a tow already, he's on his way, please don't take me! AHHH!!!

Captain Star

[narrating] The Ghost Tugs slid silently into the fog. Zorran was so shaken, he sailed around in a circle and met Izzy again.

Ooof, Ahh! Oh, er, Oh it's you… Heh heh… Not got far, have you?

Amigo, give me a tow, I pay what you want, any price you say!

Er, no Izzy, my old friend, er- I'll tow you in for free, I need some Company getting back to port. Ha ha…

If they want this barge; they can't have it. See?

No, no- You keep it, Zorran!

Yes. yes, you keep it!

I will. Right, Fill 'er up; Kerosene.

't'll Take a while in this cold.

How'd you get past that fire barge, Ten Cents?

Easy!

'Ere, what's up with you two?

Ah, well, we blocked them up the creek to save the fuel contract for you, Zorran!

We only went for the light barge!

Huh?! You IDIOTS! We needed that light here, didn't we? To get Vienna in, for US, as well as for Them. Now, what's this about a fire barge? Have you taken one from its station?!

We only jammed it a little way!

Well, get back up there quick before the Fire Chief gets there!

Fire Chief won't be pleased with you two! 'Ere, it'll take 'em all night to get that fire barge free.

Aye, it will, aye-aye. Maybe they should've thought of that when they jammed it in.

Now listen to me and listen good. The Star Fleet are about to get the Ocean Liner Contract. [The Z-Stacks grumble in disappointment] And I'm NOT HAPPY!

We're not smiling, Captain Zero.

I'm glad you don't find it 'funny', Zorran. Now I want that contract, and YOU'RE going to get it for me!

But, How? I thought that...

I don't expect you to 'THINK', You're a Team, the Best, the Better Looking, more Powerful, and dare I say, More Devious...

I like that bit about Better Looking.

Yes, but what's Devious?

What's DEVIOUS is what's NECESSARY to make an Honest Living, in these days of CORRUPTION, and 'Bad Business Ethics'!

Oh.

Now, Fire up your boilers and get that Duchess Contract, there's NO TIME TO LOSE!

No problem, that bunch of Clapped out Sardine cans are gonna' find they've missed the boat, or My name's not Zorran...(laughing Deviously)

But it is Zorran! Isn't it?

Well, look what the tide's brought in! Izzy Gomez! Ha!

Hey, you guys, I need a tow.

We don't accept bananas as payment. (chuckles)

Hey, big shots, you towing the Duchess or something?

What would you know about it, you South American heap of junk?

What I know? I sit around, waiting for nobody to tow me. (Zorran starts, but is interrupted) The Duchess, she come in this morning, suddenly, everybody busy.

But Duchess isn't due till this afternoon--

SHUT UP, DINGHY BRAIN! C'MON! (Zak mumbles under his breath after he and Zorran leave Izzy.)

Captain Star

[TV version only] There had been a change, but the Stars didn't know this. Here was a chance for Captain Zero to put one over on us.

Que dia! What a day! I gotta get a tow and unload these bananas!

Now listen. Hercules is up the coast, out of the way. Big Mac is the strongest Star left. If we knuckle him, we'll grab the liner contract.

Yeah, I know, but he's bigger than me---

HE'S TOWING BARGES, DUMMY! His route is close to the mud banks, okay?!

Yeah, so?

SO... You stuff him onto one! OKAY? STUPID?!

You've done it before to yourself, Zip, so you should soon catch on!

Yeah, I'll catch on, Zorran.

You'd better. Do it fast and get back fast. Now GET!

Devious, man. Devious!

Captain Star

[narrating] The Star fleet were doing their best without Big Mac, and for a while, it looked as though they were going to make it. But Zorran was still waiting for another chance.

Ah, looks like your plan didn't work, Zorran.

Hmm, if I could only get rid of that Switcher, Sunshine...

Thinking Devious, eh, Zorran?

No, Just thinking Contract. Look, they've slowed her right back!

So it turns out you were seen!

Impossible! I made sure!

Don't argue with me, You were SEEN! Now the Duchess knows what you did and we don't get the contract! What kind of idiots do I have working for me?

Really devious-

Shut it, Zip!

Uh, sorry about that, sir.

Er, Yeah, Sorry, Captain Zero.

Sorry.

Sorry?! Sorry? I DON't WANT TO HEAR! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT! ALL OF YOU!!!

Well, if it isn't my old amigo, Izzy. Want a tow?

Eh, you Stars never let anyone siesta in peace. I already tell Warrior, I no need no tow!

Don't blow your stack! I only asked. You already promised a tow to another tug?

Uh uh… See listen, I… I don't need you tugs fussing around me all the time. Okay?!

Sorry I asked… Go back to sleep, Izzy.

You want to tow me as well, huh, Z-Stacks?

Get lost, Izzy!

Eh, Gringo, been out in the sun to long… Eh, gringos, who needs them? I think I try to sail into port without a tow.

Keep going! I can carry more than that!

When you’re loaded up, say "when".

You’re taking on a lot there, Big Mac. Eh, heh!

Nothing to do with you with how much I carry.

Eh heh. Just commenting, that’s all. Weren’t we, lads?

All, right. Up to him if he thinks he can tow that much.

Three Zero harbour tugs just to pull 'two' barges?! Warrior and I have got you licked! Two of us can pull that much!

Quality and quantity. We’ll see by the end of the day, we’ll see. (To Zebedee and Zak) Heh, er, watch this, fellas… (To Big Mac) Uh, I see Warrior’s up to no good again, this morning. He’s a menace to every ship in the harbour!

Captain Star

[narrating] The trick was typically Zorran. Keep making insulting remarks about Warrior to get Big Mac angry, so as to forget his barge was still loading and settling dangerously low in the water.

Yeah, I mean; Why doesn’t Captain Star sell Warrior off? He’s worse than useless!

What? Useless?! He’s one of the best workers in the port! Just you remember that, Zorran!

Grampus

[surfaces next to Big Mac.] Hey, Big Mac, watch it!

Oh, hello, Grampus. Why? What’s up?

Grampus

Your barge is getting low in the water!

Huh?! Oh no! My barge! Wait! Stop loading!!! You’ll have to take some rocks back! My barge is overloaded!

Overloaded? I thought you were as strong as all of us put together.

Didn’t say I couldn’t handle it!

Eh ha ha! Off you go then. Let us "weaklings" watch in amazement.

(Angrily) Well, uh. Right. [Slowly sets off…] Stay clear, Grampus!

Yeah, Watch he don’t crush you, Grampus!

Hey, we may laugh, but with loads like that, we’ll never beat them.

Don’t be so stupid. He can’t travel very fast with his barge so low in the water. Any wake will wash over it and sink it! Won’t it?

Hey, er… That is devious!

What's up here? Another of Warrior's disasters, eh?

Now look here you guys, it was..!

Ignore them Warrior, we all know it wasn't you're fault. It's you zeroes that are the disasters.

What?!

Zip and Zug have lost you your chance of the rock contract. Their behaviour has been despicable.

I couldn't have put it better myself.

As for you, Izzy; I'll report this. Coming in without a tow means a hefty fine!
