Plot: Nothing and no one in Ernie's life wants him to be a writer. Not his boss, not his roommates, not even the neighborhood meter maid. All seem bent on squashing him and the noble pursuit of his dream... writing his first novel. The only place Ernie feels safe and confident is in his imagination. But when the world he hates encroaches on his typewriter, Ernie loses focus, and the typewriter goes silent. Uninspired and unable to write, Ernie decides if he can't gain people's respect, he can certainly take it. Magically, the very act of standing up for himself gets the typewriter clicking, but entwines Ernie in a bizarre tangle of crime, kidnapping, robotics, and kung fu. Ernie ultimately finds liberation in the least likely of places - namely handcuffing half the neighborhood to a stolen fire hydrant in the middle of his living room. Today Ernie is inspired.

Captain Alan Gaskell: [to chief officer] It's bad enough to have a ship that looks like this and a captain who looks like me without having a chief officer who looks like you.

Captain Alan Gaskell: [hearing someone in his bathroom] Who's in there?::Dolly 'China Doll' Portland: China Doll, the gal that drives men mad.::Captain Alan Gaskell: What are you doin' aboard?::Dolly 'China Doll' Portland: Nothing alarming. Just showering dewdrops off the body beautiful.

Dolly 'China Doll' Portland: But you taught me something I didn't even know myself. When a woman can love a man right down to her fingernails, she can hate him the same way.

Jamesy MacArdle: Still crazy about that Gaskell, huh? Well, whenever you get tired of runnin; around with an Airedale and you want to run around with a St. Bernard, why you let me know.::Dolly 'China Doll' Portland: Sure. Whenever I get lost in the Alps, I'll whistle for you.::Jamesy MacArdle: All right, I'll come runnin'. Goodbye, Dolly.::Dolly 'China Doll' Portland: See you later.

Captain Alan Gaskell: Now wait a minute, Dolly! You and I are friends. We've had a lot of fun together, and, as far as I'm concerned, you're #1 girl in the Archipelago, but I don't remember making any vows to you, nor do I recall your taking any.

Jamesy MacArdle: [to an unconcious Gaskell] There can't be any gold. You would have talked. Nobody can be that tough.

Jamesy MacArdle: Lovin' you is the only decent thing I ever did in my entire life. And even that was a mistake.

Captain Alan Gaskell: Did you ever see an English river?::Dolly 'China Doll' Portland: No, I'm dumb at geography just like I am at everything else.::Captain Alan Gaskell: Well, it's cool and clear. Put a stream like that alongside any river out here - dirty, yellow, muddy - you'll see the difference.

Dolly 'China Doll' Portland: If I had a nickel's worth of pride, I'd...

Captain Alan Gaskell: ...as honest as the day is long.
