Just for fun...
Ishmael as Captain of the Titanic.
Right away the crew knew something was wrong. The tremendous bang and the sickening shudder of the deck beneath them caused a muted panic amongst the guests. Once 2nd Officer Rogers got word from the engine room that the ship was taking on water, he made his way at once to the bridge and alerted the Captain.
"Nonsense," smirked Capt. Ishmael. "This is the Titanic, boy. The ship is fine."
Just then an urgent plea came from the engineers to send men below decks to fight the fires in the boiler room.
"Well," said the Captain with a grin, "if there's a hole in the ship, I guess the water will put the fire out."
Appeals to First Mate A_J proved just as fruitless. "If the Captain says the boat is fine, then the boat is fine. Isn't that right, sir?" A_J looked up to the Captain with an ingratiating smile. The Captain nodded and patted the First Mate on the head.
Another sailor burst in and announced that the ship was beginning to list severely to the port side.
"The port side?" the Captain sneered, "You mean the left side, don't you sailor?"
"Er, yes sir, I suppose so, sir."
"Tsk tsk. Don't tell me you've bought into this left-leaning liberal agenda." The Captain turned to the crew assembled on the deck, "You are ALL so full of bullshit! If it was up to you fucktards, we'd all still be in the harbour wasting money and time on more lifeboats."
"Exactly," said First Mate A_J, "you tell 'em, sir."
