V

[Eric Zumbach]

Towards the end of V. the ship is under repair (?) in Valetta to reverse the acts of a "propeller-eating fish."  Incidentally the first scene, Sailor's Grave, has Ploy sinking his well-sharpened dentures into the buttocks of one (of many) Beatrice. She has tattoos of propellers in her ass cheeks.  Can make nothing of it but thought perhaps it could be interesting.

Anyone?
