To: plain talk
In case you didn't get the reference, it was an inside joke:

CAPTAIN JACK AUBREY: Do you see those two weevils, Doctor?

DR. STEPHEN MATURIN: I do.

CAPTAIN JACK AUBREY: Which would you choose?

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

CAPTAIN JACK AUBREY: If you had to choose…If you were forced to make a choice. If there was no other...

DR. STEPHEN MATURIN: 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.

CAPTAIN JACK AUBREY: There, I have you! (slaps hand loudly on the table) You're completely dished. Do you not know that in the service one must always choose the lesser of two weevils?
