0:30 Now, who would want to kill with us?
0:33 To kill with us? Well, I would with pleasure.
0:35 How do you do, Mrs. Princey?
0:37 Captain, Captain.
0:38 Oh, sit down, pray he mustn't get up for me, Mrs. Princey.
0:41 You either, my word.

1:27 Have you heard about Ella Bragdon, David?
1:30 I shall be most properly laughed at.
1:32 Why?
1:33 Why should you be laughed at, Smollett?
1:36 Oh, and a shot in that direction myself.
1:39 Then I said yes, too.
1:42 Haven't you heard?
1:43 Well, she told most people.
1:45 Now it'll look as if I got turned down for a white rat and a dog.
