[Billy and the Dansker have just witnessed a flogging]
Billy Budd:
What was his crime?
The Dansker, sailmaker:
Any one of many possible reasons.
Billy Budd:
You mean you don't know what he did?
The Dansker, sailmaker:
Flogging. The only solution to every problem. I warrant even the culprit himself doesn't know! It was just... his... turn!
