View Quote Captain Haddock: [wakes up from his drunkenness and notices Snowy, jumps] Ahhhhh! A giant rat of Sumatra. [sees Tintin stumbling into his room through the window; brandishes a bent pipe, thinking he's an intruder] So, you think you can sneak up behind me, and catch me wi' my trousers down, huh?
Tintin: [dodging Haddock's blows] I would rather keep your trousers on, if it's all the same to you.
Captain Haddock: I know you're here. You're one of them!
Tintin: Sorry?
Captain Haddock: He sent you here to kill me!
Tintin: Look, I don't know who you are!
Captain Haddock: That was his plan, to bump me off! Murder me in my bed by a baby-faced assassin![Snowy bites his ankle, tries to shake him off] Arrgh!
Tintin: Assassin? Look, you've got it all wrong! [Captain Haddock and Tintin stops fighting] I was kidnapped by a gang of thugs. [drops rod]
Captain Haddock: [cries comically] Oh, the filthy swine! He's turned the whole crew against me!
Tintin: Who?
Captain Haddock: The sour-faced man with the sugary name. He's bumped them all off, every last of'em.
Tintin: Sakharine!
Captain Haddock: Nobody takes MY ship!
Tintin: You're the captain?
Captain Haddock: Of course, I'm the captain. Who else can I be? [Tintin shushes him] I've been locked in this room for days, with only whiskey to sustain my mortal soul. [Tintin reveals door is not locked, looks at Haddock exasperatingly] Oh...I assumed it was locked.
Tintin: Well, it's not. Now you must excuse me, if they find me here, they'll kill me. We have to keep moving, try to find my way off this drunken tub [leaves Haddock's room with a bang of the door].
Captain Haddock:[taken aback] Tub?!

View Quote Captain Haddock: Nobody takes my ship!
Tintin: They've already taken it.
Captain Haddock: But nobody takes my ship TWICE! So what's our next plan?
Tintin: There is no plan.
Captain Haddock: Of course there's a plan. you've always got a plan.
Tintin: Not this time. Sakharine got the scrolls. He's headed for the treasure. Could be anywhere in the world. We'll never see him again. It's over.
Captain Haddock: I thought you were an optimist.
Tintin: Well, you were wrong, weren't you? I'm a realist.
Captain Haddock: Ah, that's just another name for a quitter.
Tintin: You can call me what you like. Don't you get it? We failed.
Captain Haddock: Failed. There are plenty of others willing to call you a failure. A fool. A loser. A hopeless souse. Don't you ever say it of yourself. You send out the wrong signal, that is what people pick up. Don't you understand? You care about something, you fight for it. You hit a wall, you push through it. There's something you need to know about failure, Tintin. You can never let it defeat you.

View Quote Sakharine: Where is it?

Peddler: That's what I said, Charles the Second.

View Quote Tintin: Captain, can you get us to Bagghar?
Captain Haddock: What sort of a stupid question is that? [gets up] Give me those oars! I'll show you some real seamanship, laddie!
