Captain Vere:
In the question of Jenkins, Budd was telling the truth.
Lieutenant Seymour:
I know, sir. What are you going to do about Claggart?
Captain Vere:
What can I do but watch and wait? No court martial would do more than strip him of his rank for such misconduct. And then what? As a rating, he'd be slaughtered by the other men. And who would replace him? And would the French refrain from attacking us while we settled our petty differences? No, I must give him his head until some act puts him squarely counter to the law and then let the law consume him. What would you do if you were captain of this ship?
Lieutenant Seymour:
I'm not captain of the ship, sir.
Captain Vere:
One day you may be, Philip. Then, remember.
