I will grant you one Pedantry Credit to use, as it sounds familiar and I have no reason to not believe you. But in return I will point out that I doubt that’s where Starbuck was going with that. :-)
(And for the second time, auto-correct, the character’s name is STARBUCK, singular. FFS, Apple, Moby Dick is a default book included in the Books app, did no one there read it?)
