Virgil : Schoenick!
Lindsey Brigman : They're trying to make contact! Schoenick, *please*, listen to us!
Ensign Monk : Can't you see he's lost it?
Schoenick : Shut up.
Ensign Monk : The shock wave will kill us.

[One Night is trying to disconnect the umbilical]
Virgil : How's it going, One Night?
Lisa "One Night" Standing : All hell must be breakin' loose up there. This cable's pissin' me off. I can't get a grip on it!
Virgil : Well, keep tryin' baby, just keep tryin'.
Bendix : [back on the Benthic] Shit! We've got a problem! We're losing number two thruster! Bearing's going... It's not holding! We're swinging out of position here!
Benthic Explorer Captain : God damn it!
[the cable slams into One Night's cab]
Lisa "One Night" Standing : Shit!
Alan "Hippy" Carnes : The rig is movin'!
Virgil : Yeah, I can see that!
[to the radio]
Virgil : Topside! Topside, pay out some slack, we're gettin' dragged!
Benthic Explorer Captain : [to the crane operator over radio] Down on number one winch!
Virgil : We're gettin' dragged!
Benthic Explorer Captain : [shouts] Down on one!
[he gestures frantically through the window at the crane operator; the crane operator signals that he can't hear; the crane breaks off the ship and falls into the water]
Benthic Explorer Captain : Shit! Get him on the UQC!
[into the radio]
Benthic Explorer Captain : Bud! We lost the crane!
Virgil : Say again, what?
Benthic Explorer Captain : The crane! We've lost the crane! It's on its way down to you!
Virgil : All right, all right everybody brace for impact! Close all the exterior hatches, let's go go go go!
Lt. Coffey : [to SEALs] You two help secure the rig! Let's go!
Virgil : One Night! One Night, can you hear me? Get the hell outta there, the crane's comin' down!
[part of the cable hits One Night's cab, but she manages to get away]
Lisa "One Night" Standing : I'm okay, I'm clear, Bud!

Virgil : Linds, I want you to stay away from that guy. I mean it.
Alan "Hippy" Carnes : The guy is gone. Did you see his hands?
Lindsey Brigman : What? He got the shakes?
Virgil : Look, he's operating on his own. He's cut off from his chain of command. He's showing signs of pressure-induced psychosis, and he's got a nuclear weapon. So as a personal favor to me, will you try to put your tongue in neutral for a while?
Alan "Hippy" Carnes : [nervous] I got to tell you, I give this whole thing a sphincter-factor of about nine point five.
-
Lindsey Brigman : We should be dead. We didn't decompress.
Alan "Hippy" Carnes : They musta done something to us.
Lindsey Brigman : [smiling] Yeah. Yeah, I think you could say that.
-
Alan "Hippy" Carnes : You know, we got Russian subs creepin' around; anythin' goes wrong they can say whatever they want happened! Give their folks medals!
Virgil 'Bud' Brigman : Relax, will ya? You're makin' the women nervous.
Lindsey Brigman : Cute, Virgil.

Virgil : [looking at the picture Lindsey took of the alien craft] That's a great shot, Linds.
Catfish De Vries : You drop your dive light?
Lindsey Brigman : No, come on you guys, come on. Now that's the small one, that's the small one here. You can kinda see how it's zigging around.
Alan "Hippy" Carnes : Yeah, whatever it is.
Lindsey Brigman : I'm *telling* you what it is, you're just not *hearing* me.
Catfish De Vries : Now Lindsey, you...
Lindsey Brigman : There is something down there! Something not us.
Catfish De Vries : You could be more specific.
Virgil : [humorously] Somethin' that "zigs".
Lindsey Brigman : Not *us*. Not *human*, get it? Something non-human, but intelligent... A non-terrestrial intelligence.
Alan "Hippy" Carnes : A non-terrestrial intelligence. NTIs. Oh man, that's better than UFOs. Oh, but that works too, huh? "Underwater Flying Objects".
-
Alan "Hippy" Carnes : These guys are SEALS?
Catfish De Vries : Eh. These guys ain't so tough. I fought guys plenty tougher'n them.
Alan "Hippy" Carnes : Now we get to hear how you "coulda been a contender"?
-
Lisa "One Night" Standing : This tell us how much radiation we're getting?
Alan "Hippy" Carnes : Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. I'm not going near no radiation. No way.
Catfish De Vries : Aw Hippy, you pussy.
Alan "Hippy" Carnes : Yeah, what good is the money, six months later your dick drops off?
