Duke: ...and while I was trying to quell the mutiny, we hit this damn reef! Honey: It wasn't his fault, though. The chart was nearly three years out of date. Dick: And who might you be, young lady? Honey: I might be Honey, sir. I was the purser on the "Rusty Nail," now I'm Mr. Duke's Gal Friday. Dick: Really? Are you sure you'd like to be rescued, Mr. Duke? Most men dream of being shipwrecked on an island with a charming young lady. Duke: Hell, so do I, but Honey and I were the only survivors. Honey: Compliment received on this end, sir.
I don’t see what good up to date charts would be if they thought they were near the Falklands. :)
Anyway, Duke was apparently married when he was introduced, though we never saw his wife. And the appearance of Earl must be proof of something. Still, Duke has never shown the slightest interest in women at all as far as I can remember.
