Let's face it, the SS Kin Long was nobody's dreamboat on the freight run from Hong Kong to Singapore, barnacles rusty and down at the heels like everything else in the China Sea. Still, I guess I was sort of proud of her.

You see, I was captain of the tired old top. That particular morning I went on board, I was towing a bit of a cargo myself. I hang over after a three day binge. And I wasn't feeling exactly friendly, so I went to my cabin, slammed the door and...

Hello, Lamy. Hmm? Don't stare, it's me, China Doll. What the devil are you doing aboard? Did we say goodbye last night? Yeah, but you were drunk. I thought maybe you'd kind of like to say it sober, huh?

Come on, get going. We're pulling out the few minutes. What's the rush? What is it? Got someone else on board? Alan, I told you if you ever... Just a minute, Dolly. You know, as far as I'm concerned, you're number one girl in the archipelago.

But I don't remember making any bows to you or asking for any either. Hmm. Well, I'm sorry. You're round. Well, that's more like it. Now come on, nuisance. Overside with you. Oh, but Alan, what do I do with my ticket?
