Master At Arms Claggert:
Tell me in all ignorance do you dare understand me, then?
Billy Budd:
I think so, sir.
Master At Arms Claggert:
Why did Jenkins die?
Billy Budd:
You did not wish his death.
Master At Arms Claggert:
No, I did not.
Billy Budd:
You didn't even hate him. I think that sometimes you hate yourself. I was thinking, sir, the nights are lonely. Perhaps I could talk with you between watches when you've nothing else to do.
Master At Arms Claggert:
Lonely. What do you know of loneliness?
Billy Budd:
Them's alone that want to be.
Master At Arms Claggert:
Nights are long. Conversation helps pass the time.
Billy Budd:
Can I talk to you again, then? It would mean a lot to me.
Master At Arms Claggert:
Perhaps to me, too.
[His expression suddenly sours.]
Master At Arms Claggert:
Oh, no. You would charm me too, huh? Get away.
Billy Budd:
Sir?
Master At Arms Claggert:
Get away!
