Quotes 

• Freda Lewis : There's one thing I shall never get used to and that's you going away all the time.

  Ordinary Seaman Shorty Blake : Well, it's your own fault for marrying a sailor. That's fairly asking for trouble, that is. Can't trust any of 'em an inch. Wives in every port. Always coming home unexpected and catching you having tea with the lodger.

• Freda Lewis : It's just you being away and me wondering what's happening to you that I won't like.

  Ordinary Seaman Shorty Blake : Proceed with the following operations as ordered: 1: Give us a kiss. 2: Chuck us another of Mum's sandwiches. 3: Cheer up and remember this isn't a funeral it's a honeymoon. And 4: Give us another kiss. Now, then, ship's company... 'shun!

  Freda Lewis : Oh, lay off, Shorty! You're crushing my blouse! Someone will see us!

  Ordinary Seaman Shorty Blake : Who cares?

• Ordinary Seaman Shorty Blake : Come on, give us a kiss and hop it. No sense hanging about.

  Freda Lewis : All right.

  [gives a hug and a kiss, starts to tear up] 

  Ordinary Seaman Shorty Blake : Now, then. None of that.

  Freda Lewis : Go on. Be a good boy. Don't get your feet wet.

• Mrs. Lemmon : That letter from Shorty must have cheered you up.

  Freda Lewis : Oh, I wish he was home, and I wish that ship would get a bit damaged, not so that anyone was hurt, mind you, but just so as he could get a little bit of leave.

  Mrs. Lemmon : Never mind, dear. Men must work and women must weep. That's what I always say.
