__Chapter 1 scene I__
( walking about while a narrator in the back speaks) Ishmael presents himself.

Ishmael- “Call me Ishmael. ( leans against a pole) Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off - then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.”

__Chapter 3 Scene II__
Landlord- not a bed unoccupied. "But avast," he added, tapping his forehead, "you haint no objections to sharing a harpooneer's blanket, have ye? I s'pose you are goin' a whalin', so you'd better get used to that sort of thing."

Ishmael- “I told him that I never liked to sleep two in a bed; that if I should ever do so, it would depend upon who the harpooneer might be, and that if he (the landlord) really had no other place for me, and the harpooneer was not decidedly objectionable, why rather than wander further about a strange town on so bitter a night, I would put up with the half of any decent man's blanket. Queequeg- Who-e debel you?" - he at last said - "you no speak-e, dam-me, I kill-e."

Ishmael-"Landlord, for God's sake, Peter Coffin!" shouted I. "Landlord! Watch! Coffin! Angels! save me!" Landlord-"Don't be afraid now," said he, grinning again. "Queequeg here wouldn't harm a hair of your head." Ishmael-Stop your grinning," shouted I, "and why didn't you tell me that that infernal harpooneer was a cannibal?" Landlord-"I thought ye know'd it; - didn't I tell ye, he was peddlin' heads around town? - but turn flukes again and go to sleep. Queequeg, look here - you sabbee me, I sabbee you - this man sleepe you - you sabbee?"

Ishmael- "Good night, landlord," said I, "you may go." (both go to sleep and end up wrapped in each others arms)

__Chapter 9 Scene III__
I

(Christian and Andy walk in the church to listen to Ricardo and his speech)

Pastor Maple (Ricardo) – "Shipmates, this book, containing only four chapters - four yarns - is one of the smallest strands in the mighty cable of the Scriptures. Yet what depths of the soul does Jonah's deep sealine sound! what a pregnant lesson to us is this prophet!what is this lesson that the book of Jonah teaches? Shipmates, it is a two- stranded lesson; a lesson to us all as sinful men, and a lesson to me as a pilot of the living God. As sinful men, it is a lesson to us all, because it is a story of the sin, hard-heartedness, suddenly awakened fears, the swift punishment, repentance, prayers, and finally the deliverance and joy of Jonah With this sin of disobedience in him, Jonah still further flouts at God, by seeking to flee from Him. He thinks that a ship made by men, will carry him into countries where God does not reign, but only the Captains of this earth. ""Who's there?" cries the Captain at his busy desk, hurriedly making out his papers for the Customs - "Who's there?" Oh! how that harmless question mangles Jonah! For the instant he almost turns to flee again. But he rallies. "I seek a passage in this ship to Tarshish; how soon sail ye, sir?" Thus far the busy captain had not looked up to Jonah, though the man now stands before him; but no sooner does he hear that hollow voice, than he darts a scrutinizing glance. "We sail with the next coming tide," at last he slowly answered, still intently eyeing him. "No sooner, sir?" - "Soon enough for any honest man that goes a passenger." Ha! Jonah, that's another stab. But he swiftly calls away the Captain from that scent. "I'll sail with ye," - he says, - "the passage how much is that?Now Jonah's Captain, shipmates, was one whose discernment detects crime in any, but whose cupidity exposes it only in the penniless. In this world, shipmates, sin that pays its way can travel freely, and without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers. So Jonah's Captain prepares to test the length of Jonah's purse, ere he judge him openly. He charges him thrice the usual sum; and it's assented to. Then the Captain knows that Jonah is a fugitive"And now the time of tide has come; the ship casts off her cables; and from the deserted wharf the uncheered ship for Tarshish, all careening, glides to sea. That ship, my friends, was the first of recorded smugglers! the contraband was Jonah. but the sea rebels; he will not bear the wicked burden. "Terrors upon terrors run shouting through his soul. In all his cringing attitudes, the God-fugitive is now too plainly known. The sailors mark him; more and more certain grow their suspicions of him, and at last, fully to test the truth, by referring the whole matter to high Heaven, they fall to casting lots, to see for whose cause this great tempest was upon them. The lot is Jonah's; that discovered, then how furiously they mob him with their questions. "What is thine occupation? whence comest thou? thy country? what people?" ""I am a Hebrew," he cries - and then - "I fear the Lord the God of Heaven who hath made the sea and the dry land!" Fear him, O Jonah? Aye, well mightest thou fear the Lord God then! Straightway, he now goes on to make a full confession; "And now behold Jonah taken up as an anchor and dropped into the sea; when instantly an oily calmness floats out from the east, and the sea is still, as Jonah carries down the gale with him, leaving smooth water behind. He goes down in the whirling heart of such a masterless commotion that he scarce heeds the moment when he drops seething into the yawning jaws For sinful as he is, Jonah does not weep and wail for direct deliverance. He feels that his dreadful punishment is just.Shipmates, I do not place Jonah before you to be copied for his sin but I do place him before you as a model for repentance. Sin not;

__**Chapter 38 Scene IV**__
( Starbuck worries about Ahab's obsessive powers)

Starbuck- My soul is more than matched; she's overmanned; and by a madman! Insufferable sting, that sanity should ground arms on such a field! But he drilled deep down, and blasted all my reason out of me! I think I see his impious end; but feel that I must help him to it. Horrible old man! Who's over him, he cries; - aye, he would be a democrat to all above; look, how he lords it over all below! Time and tide flow wide. The hated whale has the round watery world to swim in, as the small gold-fish has its glassy globe. His heaven-insulting purpose, God may wedge aside Oh, life! 'tis now that I do feel the latent horror in thee! but 'tis not me! that horror's out of me! and with the soft feeling of the human in me, yet will I try to fight ye, ye grim, phantom futures! Stand by me, hold me, bind me, O ye blessed influences!

__**Chapter 94 Scene V**__
Ishmael-That whale of Stubb's so dearly purchased where all those cutting and hoisting operations were regularly gone through. While some were occupied with this latter duty, others were employed in dragging away the larger tubs, so soon as filled with the sperm; In the business of preparing the sperm whale for the try-works.to learn all about these recondite matters, your best way is at once to descend into the blubber-room, and have a long talk with its inmates. They generally go in pairs, - a pike-and-gaff-man and a spade-man. . This spade is sharp as hone can make it; the spademan's feet are shoeless; the thing he stands on will sometimes irresistibly slide away from him, like a sledge. If he cuts off one of his own toes, or one of his assistants', would you be very much astonished? Toes are scarce among veteran blubber-room men.

__**Chapter 135 Scene VI**__
( Third day chase)

Ahab-"D'ye see him?" To it! Aloft there! What d'ye see?" Starbuck-”Nothing, Sir."

Ahab-Nothing! and noon at hand! The doubloon goes a-begging! See the sun! Aye, aye, it must be so. I've oversailed him. How, got the start? Aye, he's chasing me now; not I, him - that's bad; I might have known it, too. Fool! the lines - the harpoons he's towing. Aye, aye, I have run him by last night. About! about! Come down, all of ye, but the regular look outs! Man the braces!"

Starbuck-"Aye, aye, Sir,"

Ahab-"Forehead to forehead I meet thee, this third time, Moby Dick! On deck there! - “Lower away! Stand by the crew!"

Starbuck-"Oh, my captain, my captain!see, it's a brave man that weeps; how great the agony of the persuasion then!" "The sharks! the sharks!" O master, my master, come back!"

Ahab-I turn my body from the sun. What ho, Tashtego! Let me hear thy hammer. ( harpoons the whale and takes him to his doom)

Shipmates- "The ship? Great God, where is the ship?"
