• Capt. Tarnowski : We're going back to that island, Fairbanks. Back to find the beasts that chewed up your pals while there were still alive and kicking. You wanna come along?

  [laughs] 

  John Fairbanks : I'd blow my brains out first before I'd go back to that island.

  Capt. Tarnowski : [turning to Carol and Ted]  Well, you still wanna go?

• Carole Lane : So, this is the notorious Captain Tarnowski?

  Capt. Tarnowski : Ah, you heard about me, huh?

  Carole Lane : No, but I probably will... from you.

• Capt. Tarnowski : Say, where did they come from? I've never seen them in Singapore before.

  Sanderson, 1st Mate : You wouldn't in the joints you hang out.

• Sanderson, 1st Mate : What kind of a crazy deal did you get us into?

  Capt. Tarnowski : It ain't so crazy. A woman like that don't happen every day.

  Sanderson, 1st Mate : Ah, sometimes I think you're cracked worse than Fairbanks.

• Capt. Tarnowski : [commenting on a makeshift raft]  That's pretty good for amateurs. You'll make a regular Noah's Ark out of it, animals and all.

• John Fairbanks : You look like you're on your last leg.

  Capt. Tarnowski : Is that a wish or an observation?

  John Fairbanks : Could be both.
