Edward Mulhare: Capt. Daniel Gregg

Quotes 

• Carolyn Muir : Well, if there's anything I hate, it's a cowardly ghost.

  Capt. Daniel Gregg : [disembodied voice]  Light the candle.

• Capt. Daniel Gregg : "Blast" is not a lady's word.

  Carolyn Muir : Blast! Blast, blast!

• Capt. Daniel Gregg : [as Carolyn sleeps]  I never once allowed a woman aboard my ship, but if I'd known you a hundred years ago, I would have carried you off to sea and shown you how beautiful the world can be. I'd have met my match in you. Lord knows I... waited for you, and hunted for you. How was I to know you hadn't even been born yet?

• Capt. Daniel Gregg : I've been easy on you. That is because you said one or two intelligent things since you've been here. Damned unusual thing for one of your sex.

  Carolyn Muir : I take it you don't like women.

  Capt. Daniel Gregg : Well, it's impossible to LIKE women. Love 'em, yes. Like 'em, no.

  Carolyn Muir : You must have been a very aggravating man.

  Capt. Daniel Gregg : Perhaps to women. I was never tied to an apron string nor put by the fireplace like a pet poodle - though, of course, many tried.

  Carolyn Muir : I suppose you had a girl in every port.

  Capt. Daniel Gregg : Ten, twenty, half a hundred if I wanted.

  Carolyn Muir : Well, what happened? Were you murdered by a jealous husband?

  Capt. Daniel Gregg : No. I kicked the blasted gas heater on with my blasted foot.

• Capt. Daniel Gregg : How sad that you were not born in my time, nor I in yours.

• Capt. Daniel Gregg : The smartest thing I ever did was to remain a bachelor.
