Came from

What the speakers say it drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

The Navigator: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. unmapped (same setup): The Navigator ⇒ Cabin Boy (the host's read). A fancy lad must prove he is a tough man at sea, a setup that Cabin Boy repeats while looking like a Harryhausen movie.
    “Chris Elliott and Adam Resnick's cabin boy is such a Buster Keaton setup.”
