Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Friday Night Lights (2004)?

At the end of the movie,
Humphrey Bogart
says, "Im just thinking about the trip back." This is a double entendre.

Bogart does not return their friendly advances and remains quiet and a seaman asks why. The "Im just thinking about the trip back" line can be considered a reference to having to deal with the Russian comrades, something which is ironic considering the film does have pro-unionist and left-wing political dialogue elements in the script. This line was cut out of the movie often when it played on television in America.
