The captain of the ship is asking the gentleman for his ticket. It is quite weird for a captain to be taking tickets from the passengers, but he likes to be off the rocky ship from time to time and have some one on one contact with the passengers. Any captain would want to know the kind of passengers he is carrying. He feels confident that it will be smooth sailing.. I mean look at the size of the ship, I would hope so. I hope we dont have another rerun of the Titanic!
