Master and Commander

Do you see those two weevils, Doctor?

I do.

Which would you choose?

Neither. There's no difference between them.
They're the same species of curculio.

If you had to choose.
If you were forced to make a choice.
If there was no other...

Well then, if you're going to push me...
I would choose the right-hand weevil.
It has significant advantage
in both length and breadth.

There, I have you!
You're completely dished.
Do you not know that in the service one must
always choose the lesser of two weevils?
