Frank Mazzetti:
[looking at the cargo of plutonium] There's enough here to start a war!

Captain Stefan Svevo:
[appearing with his men behind a stack of crates] Well that's a slight exaggeration. I'm sorry about this Captain. I had hoped that we would never meet again.

Harold Meredith:
Who is that? What's he want?

Celeste Whitman:
It's your basic guard variety terroist. I think he wants to kill us.

Captain Stefan Svevo:
Well however accurate the second part of your statement may be, please don't confuse me with some politically... impotent bomb thrower. The truth is I came aboard this ship with a purer motive than Captain Turner: to recover a piece of property which was *already* mine.

Captain Mike Turner:
You can take *whatever* you want from this ship. I'm welcome to it, but these people have come a long way, and all they want right now is get the hell out of here alive!

Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins:
As one man says this to another...

[Svevo's men point their guns at Tex]

Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins:
Now hold on just hear me out son.

[They lower their rifles slightly]

Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins:
Tell you what, I'll, I'll write a check for the whole shabbang here. If you just lay down your little rifles, we'll all haul ass out of here together. What do you say?

Captain Stefan Svevo:
Take a look at that open crate behind me Captain. I sincerly doubt that your friend over there reimburse me for *that*.

Captain Mike Turner:
OK. Open it. Let's see.

Captain Stefan Svevo:
You open that barrel Captain and we all die. And I have every reasonable hope of wanting to watch the sunset tonight.

Frank Mazzetti:
[annoyed] This crap you're dishing out here, you trying to tell us you've got some kind of doomsday machine in there or something?

Captain Stefan Svevo:
With the information commonly available today, any enterprising... science student could build a nuclear device.

Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins:
Uranium?

Captain Stefan Svevo:
[proudly] Plutonium. And as the American Govenment is painfully aware, this isn't the first shipment to go astray.

Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins:
Ah, son? Now listen to me. If I was to tell you that I've got certain connections at the Peenee Gon...

Captain Stefan Svevo:
Then I would have to tell you that my connection are more powerful than yours. I never intended to harm anyone Captain. But as you must realize... I can't let you go now.

[another explosion occurs]
