Frank Mazzetti : [looking at the cargo of plutonium] There's enough here to start a war!
Captain Stefan Svevo : [appearing with his men behind a stack of crates] Well that's a slight exaggeration. I'm sorry about this Captain. I had hoped that we would never meet again.
Harold Meredith : Who is that? What's he want?
Celeste Whitman : It's your basic guard variety terroist. I think he wants to kill us.
Captain Stefan Svevo : Well however accurate the second part of your statement may be, please don't confuse me with some politically... impotent bomb thrower. The truth is I came aboard this ship with a purer motive than Captain Turner: to recover a piece of property which was *already* mine.
Captain Mike Turner : You can take *whatever* you want from this ship. I'm welcome to it, but these people have come a long way, and all they want right now is get the hell out of here alive!
Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : As one man says this to another...
[Svevo's men point their guns at Tex]
Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : Now hold on just hear me out son.
[They lower their rifles slightly]
Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : Tell you what, I'll, I'll write a check for the whole shabbang here. If you just lay down your little rifles, we'll all haul ass out of here together. What do you say?
Captain Stefan Svevo : Take a look at that open crate behind me Captain. I sincerly doubt that your friend over there reimburse me for *that*.
Captain Mike Turner : OK. Open it. Let's see.
Captain Stefan Svevo : You open that barrel Captain and we all die. And I have every reasonable hope of wanting to watch the sunset tonight.
Frank Mazzetti : [annoyed] This crap you're dishing out here, you trying to tell us you've got some kind of doomsday machine in there or something?
Captain Stefan Svevo : With the information commonly available today, any enterprising... science student could build a nuclear device.
Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : Uranium?
Captain Stefan Svevo : [proudly] Plutonium. And as the American Govenment is painfully aware, this isn't the first shipment to go astray.
Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : Ah, son? Now listen to me. If I was to tell you that I've got certain connections at the Peenee Gon...
Captain Stefan Svevo : Then I would have to tell you that my connection are more powerful than yours. I never intended to harm anyone Captain. But as you must realize... I can't let you go now.
[another explosion occurs]

Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : Frank, so help me, you keep runnin' off at the head, you ain't gettin' one dang sip of this wine.
Frank Mazzetti : Hey, Tex, take that wine and shove it sideways!

Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : Name's Dewey Hopkins. I'm from Big D, Texas. That's Dallas, folks.

Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : Well, as one man of substance to another, let's go right to the mat. I mean, let's not pussyfoot around.

Nurse Gina Rowe : [about the exit the Poseidon through an underwater side door] None of us are experienced divers Captain.
Captain Mike Turner : It's our only way out. I'm going to turn you all into frogmen. No one has a choice.
[puts down 2 scuba tanks]
Captain Mike Turner : There should be 2 more Wilbur. I counted 4.
Wilbur Hubbard : One's empty. The one I'm getting is half full.
Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : Who's going in the scuba?
Captain Mike Turner : Everyone.
Celeste Whitman : Last time I went to school, 3 didn't go into 8.
Larry Simpson : What you say?
Celeste Whitman : 3 doesn't go into 8.
Wilbur Hubbard : With him, it's possible.
[meaning Mike]
Captain Mike Turner : You mean Jack Custo never taught buddy breathing?
Celeste Whitman : What's buddy...?
Captain Mike Turner : That's more than one diver on a single tank. Wilbur and I have done it before so we'll use the least air.
