PEER
- I've no relations.

- Well; that saves you, at least, any scenes on the pier!
THE CAPTAIN

- I won't look too closely after the money-
THE CAPTAIN
- That's kind. They are most of them ill enough off;
- they have all got their wives and their children at home.

PEER

- Are they married?
THE CAPTA
