- Dr. Pamela Blondell: [to Mike] You are not going to build a smoke bomb for your science project.
- Mike Blondell, Dr. Keith Ricks: Why not?
- Dr. Pamela Blondell: Keith, keep out of this. You keep plugging away at your fish feeder. Scientists learn through trial and error.
- Mike Blondell: I've got the error part down.
- Dr. Pamela Blondell: [to Mike] Trying to find jewels on the ocean floor is like trying to find a clean pair of socks in your bedroom.
- Dr. Keith Ricks: Whose idea was it to replace the plutonium with a smoke bomb?
- Dr. Pamela Blondell: Young Einstein over here.
- Dr. Keith Ricks: Yeah?
- Mike Blondell: Nothing but a little book knowledge with a little hands on experience.
- Garcia: Well, this is one experience I'd like to forget.
- Maya Graham: You saved my life, you know.
- Mike Blondell: I'd didn't save it - I just prolonged it, that's all.
- Oliver Simms: Wake the girl and make some coffee.
- Garcia: What? Now you're making do chores?
- Oliver Simms: You're a hostage! I'd appreciate it if you'd start to act like one.
- [Pam is about to go deep-sea diving in search of the missing missile]
- Mike Blondell: You know about Martini's Law, right?
- Dr. Pamela Blondell: No, I've never heard of it.
- Mike Blondell: Okay. Keith told me about it. He said that every 50 feet you go down has the same effect as drinking a martini, which means you're going to be downing like seven of 'em.
- Dr. Pamela Blondell: Well, we'll just have to hope I can handle diving and drinking.
- [Keith leaves the submersible's controls to talk to Garcia]
- Hispanic Thug: Hey! You take your hands off again and I'll shoot!
- Dr. Keith Ricks: Oh, that'd be a good idea. Shoot right through the hull. We'll spring a leak and within three minutes we'll all be dead.
- Garcia: [to the thug] Relax, he's only kidding. It'll take at least five minutes.
- [while Pam is battling the effects of nitrogen narcosis, Mike talks to her to keep her concentrating]
- Mike Blondell: I'll change, Mom. I'll be everything you ever wanted - except a daughter.
- [last lines]
- Dr. Pamela Blondell: Mike, come home the minute you're done. You've got to start on work.
- Mike Blondell: On what?
- Dr. Pamela Blondell: The dishes, cleaning your room, laundry...
- Mike Blondell: All right, all right.
- Dr. Keith Ricks: How'd you get him to agree to do that?
- Dr. Pamela Blondell: Well, if I've learned anything about being a parent, it's this - scare them and they'll agree to anything!
