Muse
Last year I took a Greek ship. 6 million dollars.
Captain Phillips
6 million dollars? So what are you doing here?
Muse
Shut up, Irish. Too much talking.
Captain Phillips
The problem is not me talking. The problem is you not listening.
Confrontation Over Plans and Consequences
Captain Phillips
There's a reason your boss took off and isn't coming back. He didn't wanna take on the Navy. He's gone. He's left you alone. You had a plan to take my ship. That didn't work, so you thought you could take me?
Muse
Shut up.
Captain Phillips
Make a run to Somalia? They got the Navy out there. You gotta give up. You gotta stop.
Muse
I can't stop now, Irish.
Captain Phillips
The Navy is not gonna let you win. They can't let you win. They would rather sink this boat than let you get me Somalia.
Choices and Consequences in Dangerous Situations
Muse
Everything good, Irish. Everything gonna be okay. I go Navy ship, get dollars, you go home. It was supposed to be easy. I take ship... ransom... nobody get hurt.
Captain Phillips
You had thirty thousand dollars. And a way to Somalia. It wasn't enough?
Muse
I got bosses. They got rules.
Captain Phillips
We all got bosses. There's got to be something other than being a fisherman or kidnapping people.
Muse
Maybe in America, Irish, maybe in America.
A Moment of Eye Contact
Muse
Look at me.
Capt. Phillips
Sure.
Muse
Look at me.
Capt. Phillips
Sure.
Muse
I'm the captain now.
Muse
No military action. No military action. No al Qaeda. We are just fishermen.

Muse
Hey, you. Who are you?
[IN SOMALI]
Muse
I talk English.
