Juggernaut

Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon:
May you inherit the earth.

Charlie Braddock:
Yeah, six feet of it, I think.

Barbara Banister:
Do you think the water will be very cold?

Social Director Curtain:
In my professional opinion: not hot. And it will ruin your hair.

Barbara Banister:
In your professional capacity, shouldn't you be cheering us up?

Social Director Curtain:
Well, there are no icebergs.

Barbara Banister:
[looks at Captain Brunel] Correction.

Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon:
Fallon is the champion!

Corrigan:
Would you mind telling me why we're traveling in circles?

3rd Officer Jim Hardy:
In circles, sir?

Corrigan:
Yeah. A little while ago the waves were coming from the front of the ship, now they're coming from the side.

3rd Officer Jim Hardy:
Well, it's that kind of sea, sir. North Atlantic, you know.

Corrigan:
A half hour ago the sun was on the port side, now it's on the starboard - is it that kind of sun?

3rd Officer Jim Hardy:
They must be checking the steering gear - just routine.

Corrigan:
Uh-huh. And about that explosion this morning?

3rd Officer Jim Hardy:
Just blowing Number 2 Boiler, sir.

Corrigan:
Buddy, I am by profession a politician: the mayor of a rather large city, as a matter of fact.

3rd Officer Jim Hardy:
Yes, sir?

Corrigan:
In my line of work you have to learn how to lie with remarkable precision. You also have to know how to recognize a lie when it bites you in the ass... and I have just been bitten.

3rd Officer Jim Hardy:
I'll, uh, convey your complaint to the captain, sir.

[Fallon and Braddock are trying to disable two of the bombs. Braddock's hand slips while turning a screw]

Charlie Braddock:
I don't even know the man and he's trying to kill me.

Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon:
Haven't I told you about death? It's nature's way of saying you're in the wrong job.

Major O'Neill:
Hello Johnny.

Supt. John McCleod:
Major. Sit down.

Major O'Neill:
Thanks. Well now, who's been blowing up what?

Supt. John McCleod:
What makes you think anyone has?

Major O'Neill:
Well now, it can't be friendship eh? Or you wouldn't be dragging me away from my bedtime cocoa like this would you?

Supt. John McCleod:
Right. I want to know who's active on the scene.

Major O'Neill:
Ah yes. Well now, I'm not a grass, I don't point fingers. You must be pretty desperate, eh?

Supt. John McCleod:
Yes I am. Lives at stake.

Major O'Neill:
Ah yes. Let's see, I've done three years, seven to go, seven to go with a little luck and a decent home secretary. I don't care Johnny, I really don't care who gets blown up. I might know a few things, might tell you lies, tantalize you a bit. But I really don't care that much. It's all up here. In my head. And that's where it's staying. [tosses back pro-offered cigarettes] Thanks.

Captain Alex Brunel:
You have to go back to the bombs.

Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon:
Persuade me.

Captain Alex Brunel:
Twelve hundred lives.

Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon:
Not many lives that... I mean, not in the great scheme of things. Remember what the goldfish said? "There must be a god! I mean, who changes the water?"... Specks in the universe, Captain! Launch your lifeboats.

Mrs. Corrigan:
Will you tell me the truth, if I ask you a question?

Corrigan:
Personal, business, or just plain silly?

Mrs. Corrigan:
Personal. [Corrigan nods in the affirmative] Have you ever been unfaithful to me?

Corrigan:
You know if I chose to lie I could do so with remarkable dexterity? You know that don't you? [she nods in assent]

Corrigan:
Since we met... yes. [he takes her hand] Since we have been married, no... and if we are going to die... I rejoice in the fact that we're going to die together.

Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon:
[Fallon is told an admiral wants him on the phone while he is disarming a bomb] So, he's an admiral? So he can get stuffed.

Barbara Banister:
Is everything going to be smooth and beautiful?

Barbara Banister:
It's like a poem.

Susan McLeod:
Which one?

Barbara Banister:
"Not Waving, but Drowning."

Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon:
[speaking of life after death] I'll see you when I discover the secrets of the universe.
