• [Trillian is breaking into the ship's safe until Simon, Capt. Atherton, and Cruise Security catches her in the act] 

  Canton : [clears throat]  Good evening, mademoiselle.

  Trillian St. James : Hello.

  Captain Atherton : Red handed. My God, what a cheap, little trollop you are.

  Trillian St. James : Good evening, gentlemen. I was just on my way out.

  [Two security men holds Trillian back] 

  Trillian St. James : Or not.

  Canton : A good decision. There's really no place to run. The nearest land is, what is it, about 600 miles, Captain?

  Captain Atherton : Near 800.

  Canton : [holding Trillian's rap sheet]  According to this fax we received - Oh, that's not a very flattering photograph, is it?

  Trillian St. James : What is it?

  Canton : You're wanted for burglary, robbery, forgery. Oh, and attempted murder.

  Trillian St. James : I can explain that.

  [Canton chuckles] 

  Trillian St. James : What?

  Canton : Six arrests, five convictions, and wanted in four countries. How does a beautiful woman as young as yourself amass such an incredible record?

  Trillian St. James : Trust me. It wasn't easy.

  Canton : I think it's because you're not very good at what you do.

  [Canton hits Trillian in the face] 

  Captain Atherton : Hey, steady on, Canton. No need for that.

  Captain Atherton : [Recovers his stolen key card from Trillian]  Ah, ah, ah. I believe that's my card, thank you.

  Canton : Captain, I forget. Do we have a brig on this ship?

  Captain Atherton : Yes, we do, sir, but it's not finished.

  Trillian St. James : [angry tone]  You can't put a lady in the brig!

  Canton : True, but you, mademoiselle, are no lady.

• Captain Atherton : This is supposed to be your life's work, I thought.

  Canton : I spent my whole life, my entire fortune, building this ship. I'll be damned if I'm gonna lose it to a bunch of pencil-necked bankers.

• Communications Officer : Our signal goes out static, sir - I've never seen anything like it.

  Canton : [yelling]  This equipment is state of the art, top of the line!

  Captain Atherton : Mr. Canton, PLEASE! We are in a very dangerous situation here. We are running without radar or any form of imaging - we are sailing blind. And no way to bloody communicate our situation.

  Sonar Man : I have something here, sir..

  Captain Atherton : What is it Colin?

  Sonar Man : I don't know sir but whatever it is, it's uh... big.

  Canton : Probably just a pod of whales.

  Sonar Man : Moving at 31 knots, sir? I don't think so.

  Canton : Where's it coming from?

  Sonar Man : Directly beneath us sir, 160 meters *directly* beneath us and rising very quickly... 150 meters... 140... 130... 120... 110... 100 meters - 90, 80, 70...

  Canton : [looks at sonar monitor]  What are they?

  Sonar Man : 60... 50 meters!

  [the Ottoia ram the ship] 

• Captain Atherton : The ship's infested, the bloody things are everywhere!

  Hanover : Infested with what?

  Captain Atherton : I don't know - how do I know? I've never seen anything like it before.
