[Tintin has escaped and stumbled into a room on the second deck of the ship, where he meets the eternally intoxicated Captain Haddock for the first time]
Captain Haddock: [brandashing a bent pipe; thinking Tintin is an intruder] So... you were trying' to catch me wi' my trousers down, huh?
Tintin: [dodging Haddock's blows] I would keep your trousers up, all the same to you.
Captain Haddock: [about Shakarine] He was planning all of this, trying to bump me off! He sent you here to kill me, huh?
Tintin: What are you talking about?
Captain Haddock: I knew he was going send someone to do th' job! Me murdered in bed by a baby-faced assassin!
[Snowy grabs a hold of Haddock's pants with his teeth]
Captain Haddock: [trying to shake Snowy off] Arrgh!
Tintin: No, No! You've got it all wrong! I'm not an assassin.
[Captain Haddock stops fighting]
Tintin: I was captured by a gang of thugs!
[There is a pause; Haddock begins to cry comically]
Captain Haddock: [tearfully] Oh, the filthy swine! He's turned the whole crew against me!
Tintin: Who did?
Captain Haddock: [still blubbering] Ah, the sour-faced man with the sugary name. He has bumped 'em off. Every last one of 'em!
Tintin: You mean, Sakharine?
Captain Haddock: [vehemently] NOBODY takes MY ship!
Tintin: You're the captain?
Captain Haddock: [sardonically] Of course, I am. WHO else would I be?

Captain Haddock: [During the Port of Bagghar chase;Captain Haddock is trying to grab one of the scrolls before Sakharine's peregrine falcon can] Oh no, not again! Come here, my beauty!
