Warrior quotes from Tugs

O.J.

Not an idea between us?

No bright ones, O.J..

O.J.

Anybody got a stupid one then? Come on, say it. Might lead to something, you never know.

….I could set fire to my garbage.

What? What on earth for?!

Well, make a light for Vienna, wouldn't it?

I think that's a smashing idea.

Captain Star

[narrating] Just Lillie's approval was good enough for Warrior. The others stared, speechless, as he quickly towed his barge away and got himself alongside it, Revved his engine to full steam, to make sparks fly out of his stack.

Why couldn't I have been a liner, I wonder?

'Cos you're not big enough.

You are silly, Warrior.

You're clear, Vienna! Bon voyage, Godspeed!

Aww, she really is lovely…

Yeah….

Goodnight, Vienna!

Goodnight, Vienna…

O.J.

Which factory did you say, Warrior?

Captain Star said "take Little Ditcher to the demolition factory."

O.J.

He meant the factory that's due for demolition. Hey, what's that? Puffer, what's up?

A mass of logs! On their way from the lake! Get downriver, fast! I've gotta get to Uptown Station to warn them!

Good heavens! In this current, they'll wreck the whole quayside and us as well!

Well then, let's stop 'em, right here!

O.J.

Be sensible, Warrior! How?!

Well er, I'll stick Little Ditcher across the river, he'll put his spuds down on the riverbed, and he won't move.

No, I'll get smashed to bits instead!

I hope Big Mac gets here soon, Top Hat. This ain't gonna be an easy one!

Yes, where is he? We'll never manage without Big Mac!

O.J.

I'm worried about this! We need help to dock her... (sighs) C'mon, Big Mac! Where are you?

Captain Star

A few days ago, we salvaged the tugboat, Sunshine, and he was taken to Lucky's Yard, and I'm glad to tell you that little damage was done. As for the Star Fleet, we've learned a valuable lesson here.

O.J.

Yes, indeed we have...

Captain Star

A lesson about trust and friendship. I think we have Ten Cents to thank for that. And for the rest of us; about jumping to conclusions before knowing the truth. Now, I know you're all proud of being Star tugs, but the most important thing in my fleet, after hard work, is that my tugs always be true, honest and forgiving.

Aye, aye!/Hear, hear!/Yes, sir!

Captain Star

Now, If you'll look to port... I would like you to welcome our new recruit!

Oh, here he is!

Captain Star

Sunshine, I am proud to have you on my fleet! [narrating (TV version only)] That was the moment I first knew, we had a Great team of Star Tugs.

Yeah, Welcome aboard. You look great, Sunshine!

Thanks, kidda! Bonny new colours, eh?

Here, Warrior! What a promotion! Great to see you off garbage detail!

Thanks! Big Mac and me'll make a great team. We'll shift this lot quicker than the Z-Stacks.

Oh, I don't doubt it, Warrior. But no accidents, eh? Give Big Mac a break.

Me? I won't have no accidents, promise! [sets off with barge]

Right, well, good luck then, Warrior! And remember, be careful!

[stops] What? [is hit by his own barge] Whoops! Course I'm careful!

I hope that isn't a bad start to the day for ya!

I'll do me best, guv'nor!

Hey, there's Izzy! What a bonus if I could tow him as well… Ahoy, Izzy Gomez, wake up!

Sí, er, what time is eet? Oh, Warrior, it's you.

Want a tow? Give you a good price.

¡Ay, ay, ay! You wake me up to tell me funny jokes, eh?

It's no joke. I'll give you a special rate. Say; One Hundred?

Not even for Ten, gringo. Now you wake me so early, I have all thees daylight and the sea, she' very calm.

Wha? You wouldn't go in on your own?

Maybe I do, maybe I don't…

You are crazy, Izzy. Risking going in on your own for measly hundred.

(Moans to himself) Umph!

Anyway, it's against the law!

Oh Dear, Hey er, Stop Dredging! Er, I say Warrior…

Oh, ha. Morning Fellas, And Pearl. it looks like it's gonna be a Great Day.

Oi, LOOK OUT! [as Warrior stops suddenly, his barge bumps him, again.] Oh, hey, Whoops. What're Ya towin'?

Oh, you noticed. No more garbage for me, at least for now. Captain Star's put me on the rock contract for the new dock foundations. Just what was to be expected, really, being such a powerful tug and all. Well, gotta go now. Bye!

Congratulations, Warrior! [Warrior's barge bumps Little Ditcher spinning him around]

Oh! Dear!

Dear me… Hey, Little Ditcher, are- Are you all right, eh?

Bit diz-zy!

Hey, you gotta laugh though, eh? Look, Pearl! He's gonna become the first floating Merry-go-round!

[sarcastically] Oh, aye, thanks a lot, Warrior(!)

Can't stop. BYE!

[feeling guilty about what happened earlier] Shouldn’t have let Zorran trick me into taking such a heavy load, Grampus.

Grampus

You’re doing alright. Just keep it nice and steady.

Good thing the harbour's so flat, today. Any waves and this barge would be awash and sink for sure.

Grampus

Yes, you're lucky… Oh no!

Warrior, SLOW DOWN!

Grampus

Dive, DIVE!

Hey Big Mac. We'll beat those Z-Stacks. I'll have another load in no time!

What's happened?

I told you to slow down! Yer' wash sank my barge!

But I… Big Mac… Sorry!

You'll have to get a crane. I'll back up to mark the spot where the barge sank.

I'm not gonna' mess this up!

[arrives to help] Need a hand here, fellas? Ah, Warrior looks like he's got it under control.

Oh, couldn't have lasted this long without him!

Mighty Mo, Scuttlebutt, take the strain on these ropes.

Aye aye, Guv'nor.

Got 'em, Warrior!

Push!

Captain Star

[narrating] The hulk of Izzy Gomez (full of bananas) was at last forced back off the rocks by the three Star tugs.

You've done it!

I reckon this makes up for sinking my barge, Warrior.

I reckon it makes up for everything.

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!

[After a sleeping Warrior bumps into him] Ow!

[wakes up] You stupid, old, rust tub! Why don't you look where you're going?

[chuckling] What do you mean, where am I going? I've been anchored off here for 2 years!

Oh. Well--er--yes. Sorry. It's been a long day. Must've dozed off.

[chuckles] Oh, clumsy old tug, that Warrior! But it wouldn't half be boring without him! [starts chuckling again]

Captain Star

[narrating] Warrior might have bumped into things, but I couldn't have done without him. He was a valuable member of my star tug team. (short chuckle) A striker, you might call him!
