"Then why does the captain continue to put up with you?"

The captain continued with the story as if he hadn't heard me.

To that end, he said nothing, but let the captain continue to speak.

Billy started to say something, to change the subject, but the captain continued.

"I have a great deal of respect for history," the captain continued.

"Captain, could you please see something first before we continue this conversation?"

"I just get to sit back and take all the credit," the captain continued.

As the captain continued talking, Reed stood and left the room.

"And I have some rather bad news," the captain continued.

"You'll need the best protection we can give you," the captain continued.
