Captain Fisby : You know what I'm gonna do next? I'm gonna go out and test that soil. See if it won't grow something besides sweet potatoes. I'm gonna send for some nitrate, some DDT and chemicals...
Capt. McLean : Chemicals?
Captain Fisby : Yes.
Capt. McLean : You want to poison these people?
Captain Fisby : What are you talking about? No?
Capt. McLean : Look, Captain...
Captain Fisby : What? What?
Capt. McLean : I'm sorry. You just touched on a subject that's very close to my heart.
Captain Fisby : Gardening. Yes?
Capt. McLean : You know, for years, I've been on a point of giving up my career - just so that I could set up an experimental farm, somewhere where I could raise vegetables organically, nature's way. No poisons, no chemicals. Let me tell you something, Captain. Chemicals will kill all your earthworms. And earthworms aerate your soil.
Captain Fisby : They do?
Capt. McLean : Do you know that the earthworm leaves castings eight times its own weight every day?
Captain Fisby : That much?
Capt. McLean : Organic gardening - it's the only thing. Compost. Manure.

Captain Fisby : Take off your shoes.
Capt. McLean : Oh. Now, about those seeds, if we can...
Captain Fisby : Shh. Shh. Shh. No. Shh. Now, we're gonna sit here and we're gonna watch the sun go down. And we're gonna contemplate the end of the day.
