(speaking through a porthole)

Gump, too bad you got the mumps. We were going to hit that big school of sea bass that is moving through. You know, branch out a little from just catching shrimp.

Lt. Dan, I know I am swolen and contagious, but you could still go and do all the work.

My legs were cut off in the war. Remember?

Oh yeah.

So, because you are laid up, we miss the potential bass jackpot!

Lt. Dan, I'm not a smart man. But I do know what a jackpot is.

Good. Very good, Gump. So you know what this disease of yours is going to cost us.

Well, my mama always said that a box -

NO! No more chocolate candy references! Because of your mumps, we DO know what we are going to get.

A big fat goose egg! Zip!

Is a goose egg larger than a regular chicken egg, Lt. Dan? I'm not a smart man.

Huh? Ah, I don't know. But I was using a goose egg as an idiom to say we were missing the boat.

Lt. Dan! We're on our boat! We haven't missed it!
