Just because I don't want you to get squashed by a boat doesn't mean I don't want your help!
[Tsuzuki digs his feet into the riverbed, throws both arms over the side of the boat, and manages with a great effort to hold it more or less still. He's got some muscle, but he's really nobody's strongman, and it's a good thing that the bruises the boat's struggles are leaving on his ribs won't last more than half an hour.]
Grab the other side of the bow over there -- and maybe we can -- ow! -- get this thing pointed back into the river!
