Around the World Under the Sea

Female Technician: Have you got the answer to Hydronaut's question?
Technician: I'm just sending it out now.
Dr. Phil Volker: ANFSQ7. Answer my request. Top priority reply. Computer analysis as follows: rook takes queen, check.

Hank Stahl: [disgustedly] People. Sharks, animals: they kill for a reason: because they're hungry. People kill each other for nothing.

Jack Smith: Anything the matter?
Dr. Doug Standish: What? Oh, no. I... could've sworn I'd seen those legs somewhere before.

Dr. Doug Standish: Our mission is to plant warning sensors...
Dr. Phil Volker: I know that. We take care of *my* mission when we've completed yours.
Dr. Doug Standish: Well, I can't commit the rest of the crew!
Dr. Phil Volker: Well don't worry, I'll, I'll - how you say? - cut them in.
Dr. Doug Standish: Well what makes you think they'll go along with you?
Dr. Phil Volker: Well haven't you heard? It's better to be a rich scientist than a poor one.

Dr. Maggie Hanford: Excuse me, I have to get my hat box.
Hank Stahl: Hat box?
Dr. Phil Volker: Hat box?
Dr. Craig Mosby: Hat box.
Dr. Maggie Hanford: [opens the hat box to show it contains two guinea pigs] You'll love it. It's absolutely adorable. Itty and Bitty.
Dr. Craig Mosby: Itty and... Bitty?
Dr. Maggie Hanford: For oxygen analysis.
Dr. Craig Mosby: Oh.

Hank Stahl: [as Volker ascends the ladder to meet Maggie] *Now*... if I could find me a mermaid built just like *that*...! For once that guy and I agree on what would make a really tasty dish.

Hank Stahl: [as Mosby slams down a scuba tank in anger] *Well*...! Looks like something topless is going on topside. Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy! You'll blow a gasket!

Dr. Craig Mosby: Uh, what's the matter with *her*?
Dr. Orin Hillyard: Eh, well we got a phone message for you from Dr. Boren. Your first choice for a medic is unavailable, and there's no time to shop around.
Dr. Craig Mosby: You mean they're getting new tremors.
Dr. Orin Hillyard: Oh yeah, big ones.
Dr. Craig Mosby: Oh, boy.
Dr. Orin Hillyard: Uh, Boren says you've *got* to take Maggie, even if you *don't* want her, and um, unfortunately, that was the part of the conversation she overheard.

Dr. August Boren: Stahl? He lives at the bottom of the Caribbean bay like a hermit crab, studying underwater survival. You'll never get *him*.

Hank Stahl: I couldn't care less. I got it made down here. I got my research, my books, my music. Why should I leave all this for a bunch of idiots who're going to blow themselves up?

Hank Stahl: Let me tell ya: That's not an ocean out there! That's a veritable minestrone!
Dr. Orin Hillyard: What?
Hank Stahl: You've never seen such food! Enough to feed a *billion* fish! Look at that!
Dr. Orin Hillyard: What is it?
Hank Stahl: It's food! It's food!

Dr. Maggie Hanford: [handing them over to Dr. Mosby] Be quiet! They're not rats, they're guinea pigs. Hold these.

Dr. Craig Mosby: Uh, Mr. Vice President... If we plant these sensors, around the world under the sea, in pressure points along here, and through here, and *anchor* them in the crust of the earth, we'll have the early warning system we need.
Vice President: Well this means a great deal of risk, doesn't it?
Dr. August Boren: We know less about the deep oceans than we do the surface of the moon.
Vice President: And you're willing to take on this risk?
Dr. Doug Standish: Well, that's why we're here.
Vice President: Well gentleman, I'd like you to proceed on the assumption that I can get the necessary appropriation for the voyage of the Hydronaut.
Dr. Craig Mosby: Great!

Dr. Maggie Hanford: Doug, I'm adding negative ions to our atmosphere. Make you feel a little better first time down.
Hank Stahl: Mmm! Take a whiff of this. I feel better already.

Dr. Craig Mosby: What is this? Big Brother is watching?
Dr. Phil Volker: Well, it's better than what you get on the television.
Dr. Craig Mosby: [into the loudspeaker microphone] Alright, clear the deck! Stand by to dive! On the double!
Dr. Phil Volker: Well, how do you do, Captain Bligh?

Dr. Doug Standish: Yeah, he's done some very impressive research in marine biology. M.E. Hanford from England. Well I'm sure you've read for some of his published material in the last couple of years.
Dr. August Boren: *Her* material.
Dr. Doug Standish: What?
Dr. August Boren: The "M.E." stands for "Margaret Elizabeth." Very attractive, too. As a matter of fact, she just finished doing some research for me.
Dr. Craig Mosby: Well, shall we make it Johnson?
Dr. Doug Standish: Why, because Hanford's a woman? Half the doctors in Russia are women. Not a bad example for us to follow.
Dr. August Boren: He's got a point.
Dr. Craig Mosby: You wanna put a woman in that submarine for three or four months?
Dr. Doug Standish: She's also a scientist, and so are we.
Dr. August Boren: Brinkman says you met her in the science building. Under a desk.
Dr. Craig Mosby: Her?
Dr. Doug Standish: That was M.E. Hanford? Well what d'you say now, boss?
Dr. Craig Mosby: No, more than ever, no.

Dr. Maggie Hanford: The guinea pigs. What about the guinea pigs?
Hank Stahl: Guinea pigs? Women and men first. We'll need every cubic inch of air we've got.
Hank Stahl: [as Hanford stares him down] There's a spare mattress down in the lab.

Dr. Orin Hillyard: Maggie, you know, according to maritime law, Doug could perform a marriage.
Dr. Maggie Hanford: Oh, Orin. Can you imagine spending a honeymoon on a submarine with four other men?
Dr. Orin Hillyard: Yes, well I have to admit it's far from ideal.
Dr. Maggie Hanford: But thanks anyway.

Hank Stahl: I couldn't care less, doctor, let 'em all go.
Dr. Doug Standish: You don't mean that.
Hank Stahl: Well, maybe there are a few human beings up there: Dr. Hamaru, Gus Boren, Dimitri, my crazy, Russian, chess-playing friend...
