Kester:
Now listen to me, Drake. I know I can't make you help that little girl or anybody else on this boat, but if you got anything at all left in you, you're gonna try!

Paul Drake:
Why?

Kester:
Because you know how!

Paul Drake:
Mr. Kester, whether that little girl dies today or a hundred years from today is purely academic. Sooner or later, she's going to die. So will you and I, Mr. Kester. And all the sermons and all the good intentions an all the believing in God won't alter that one simple fact. So you're wrong, Mr. Kester. I can't keep her from dying... nor do I intend to try.
