Lt. Coffey: It went straight for the warhead, and
they think it's cute!
Lindsay Brigman: There is something down there. Something
not us. Catfish De Vries: You could be more specific. Lindsay
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".
Bud "Virgil" Brigman: 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? Lindsay Brigman: What? He got the shakes?
Bud "Virgil" Brigman: 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: I got to tell you, I give this
whole thing a spinchter-factor of about 9.5.
Lindsay Brigman: So raise your hand if you think that
was a Russian water-tentacle.
Lt. Coffey: Everybody just stay calm. The situation is
under control.
Alan "Hippy" Carnes: So these guys are really Navy SEALS,
huh? Catfish De Vries: Eh, they ain't so tough. I fought guys
plenty tougher'n them. Alan "Hippy" Carnes: So, is this where
you tell us how you "coulda been a contender"?
[Lindsay sees the nuclear warhead] Lindsay Brigman: You
know, you got some huevos bringin' that thing into my rig!
With all that's going on up in the world you bring a nuclear
weapon IN HERE? Lt. Coffey: Mrs. Brigman... Lindsay Brigman:
Does this strike anyone as particularly psychotic or is it
just me? Lt. Coffey: Mrs. Brigman, you don't need to know
the details of our operation, it's better if you don't. Lindsay
Brigman: You're right, I don't need to know, what I need to
know is that THING is off this rig, do you hear me ROGER RAMJET?
Bud: When it comes to the safety of these people, there's
me and then there's God, understand?
[About to drown on purpose.] Lindsay Brigman: This was
maybe not such a good idea!
Bud "Virgil" Brigman: God damn it, you bitch! You never
backed away from anything in your life! Now fight! [Slaps
Lindsay.] Fight! [Slaps Lindsay again.] Fiiiiight!
Lindsay Brigman: [About the Navy SEALS.] These guys are
about as fun as a tax audit.
Lindsay Brigman: We all see what we want to see. Coffey
looks and he sees Russians. He sees hate and fear. You have
to look with better eyes than that.
Lt. Coffey: We don't need them. We can't trust them. We
may have to take steps. We're gonna have to take steps.
Bud "Virgil" Brigman: [regarding Lindsay Brigman] God,
I hate that bitch. Alan "Hippy" Carnes: You probably shouldn't
have married her then.
Lindsay Brigman: Explorer, this is Cab 3, starting the
descent along the cable. Some guy: Roger that, Cab 3. Good
luck. Lindsay Brigman: Luck is not a factor.
Bud "Virgil" Brigman: Hippy, you think everything is a
conspiracy. Alan "Hippy" Carnes: Everything is.
