Quotes 

• Owen Chase : It's a privilege to know the moment of one's death in advance - be able to prepare for it. Cursed to be so far from home - without a chance to say goodbye, without a chance to make peace; without a chance to settle scores. Then let us at least settle those between us, Captain.

  George Pollard : Captain of what?

  Owen Chase : The Essex was lost through no fault of yours. I was as much to blame for...

  George Pollard : You are not the captain! But you were born to do this job. I was just born into it.

  Owen Chase : What do we do, do you think, George? And what offense did we give God to upset him so?

  George Pollard : The only creature to have offended God here is the whale.

  Owen Chase : Not us? In our arrogance, our greed. Look were we find ourselves.

  George Pollard : We are supreme creatures made in God's own likeness. Earthly kings, whose business it is to circumnavigate the planet bestowed to us. To bend nature to our will.

  Owen Chase : You really feel like an earthly king after everything that we've been through? We're nothing. We're... we're specks. And dust.

  George Pollard : We sail into the sun at dawn. If we are to die, then with God's grace, let us die as men.

• Owen Coffin : [points his pistol at Owen]  Say it! Say it! Say you're scared!

  Owen Chase : I will not.

• George Pollard : [upon meeting]  "Chase." That's an off-island name, isn't it?

  Owen Chase : Yes, it is. And very shortly we will be off-island for some time, and I'll be very much at home.

  [calmly smiles] 

• Thomas Nickerson : My mother's buried up in Smith's hill. There's a stone for my father, too. He was lost at sea before I was born.

  Owen Chase : Here, give me that.

  [grabs a coil of rope] 

  Owen Chase : Well, this is your family now, boy. For better or for worse. worse, mostly.

• Owen Chase : [being pulled by a whale]  You're on your first Nantucket sleigh ride, boy!

  Owen Coffin : Oh my God! Whoo!

• Owen Chase : To return to port without a single barrel of oil would be a mistake, sir. And not behoove a man whose name is Pollard. Or Chase, for that matter. And the best thing for both of us would be to work all hours Gods sends us, fill this ship with oil and be home inside a year and rid of one another as quickly as possible. Trust me, I am every bit as desirous of that as you.

• Owen Chase : Benjamin, what are you doing?

  Benjamin Lawrence : He's dead. Putting him overboard, sir.

  Owen Chase : Look at me. Look at me, Benjamin. No right-minded sailor discards what might yet save him.

• Peggy Chase : [when Owen returns alive]  Oh my God... Oh my God...

  Owen Chase : I promised you, didn't I?
