Lillie Lightship quotes from Tugs

Ah, well, that's it, Lillie. Now you can show us the way home.

What would we do without you, eh?

Nice to be appreciated, boys. You'll be in the Regatta parade I suppose. I never see any of it from out here.

Pity, that…. We'll stick a light and foghorn on Sunshine and anchor him 'ere, so you can.

Hey, do you mind? I'm in the parade too, you know!

(sad) Mayday! Grampus, mayday!

Grampus

What the? Lillie, you're…you're…!

I'm sinking, Grampus, sinking! Please help me, please!

Grampus

Nasty hole, Lillie! Right on your Water Line!

(quietly) Psst, oi. This might be your lucky day, Lillie. You might get to see the regatta!

Shh! Or everyone might think I did it deliberately.

Captain Star

[narrating] When night time came, O.J. gathered all the other Star tugs around him outside Lucky's Yard. None of them really knew what was going on.

O.J.

Alright, Lillie, do your bit!

[switches light on] Hello, boys! They repaired me in record time so I could see the Regatta. [gasp] You all look splendid!

Aw, thank you!

So do you!

Oi, it's Grampus! And he's got the Star flag!

Grampus

They didn't blow me up today! The Navy sold me to Captain Star, so I'm one of you now!

Hi, Hercules. Seen Ten Cents?

I think he's up the River, Sweetheart. Why?

I'm waiting for him to refuel me. My gauge shows I'm pretty low!

Well, He'd better look after you, cause I'm bringing Vienna in on the night tide. If your light isn't on to guide her in, she doesn't come in!

What's Keeping Ten Cents? It's not like him…

Big shortage of fuel barges, all frozen up in Bigg City Port. They'll be here soon. Keep smiling M'dear.

I always do, Hercules…

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…
