The lady pays off (1951)
I can't understand what the skipper is saying after: Come on! Come on! and what the other actor is telling him.

: doesn't sound like 'pick' to me, but it's hardly important.

maybe but pick/take are synonyms here so doesn't matter. The subtitles are very wrong in other parts so I wouldn't rely on them at all

: It definitely sounds like "take up.." to me, but otherwise, this sounds right, Yvonne. It's hard to tell if he says "the slack" or "that slack", but I agree with you on the rest of the dialogue in any case!

Many thanks:-) Samantha. Yes, might be "take" but a synonym anyway so not important. What is important is that the next line makes sense.
