Lifeboat

Connie Porter: [speaking of the disaster] Reminds me of an air raid once that hit me in Chunking. John Kovac: Reminds me of a slaughterhouse I once worked in in Chicago. Those Nazi buzzards — a tin fish ain't enough. They've got to shell us too!

Gus Smith: [referring to Willie] A guy can't help being a German if he's born a German, can he? John Kovac: Neither can a snake help being a rattlesnake if he's born a rattlesnake! That don't make him a nightingale! Get him out of here!

John Kovac: As of now I'm skipper, and anybody who don't like it can get out and swim to Bermuda. What about that? Gus Smith: I'll buy it. Stanley 'Sparks' Garrett: Suits me. What about you, Miss? Alice MacKenzie: I'm for it. George 'Joe' Spencer: Yes, sir! Charles D. 'Ritt' Rittenhouse: Well, if the rest agree. Connie Porter: All right, Commissar, what's the course?

Willy: [fixing her diamond bracelet] Looks like bits of ice. Connie Porter: I wish they were. Willy: They're really nothing but a few pieces of carbon crystallized under high pressure at great heat. Connie Porter: Quite so, if you want to be scientific about it. Willy: I'm a great believer in science. Connie Porter: Like tears, for instance. They're nothing but H2O with a trace of sodium chloride.
