I'm like an old sea captain

But I've been out to sea for a long time.

I'll award a superfluity of points or some embarrassing gesture of appreciation to anyone who identifies the quote and its particular significance to me, in my particular situation. Scratch that--just name the source. Context would be gravy, or icing, or something.

Too easy. Rushmore. Max's father: "You're like one of those old sea captains. You're married to the sea." Max in responds: "Yes, that's true. But I've been out to sea for a long time."

I lose on the context points though, sorry. I have no idea why that line is particularly important, in the movie or to you. I just know you're married to that movie.

Oops. I forgot to make up my mind whether I was typing "Max, in response" or "Max responds" and combined the two in the frightful, "Max in responds." Ugh. I lose. Also I totally googled the line to make sure I was right (I thought it might have been Life Aquatic), so I lose even more. :(

Squee! Forsooth, you win.
