Quotes 

  • [Steam covers the escape route. Looking up] 

    Reverend Frank Scott : What more do you want of us? We've come all this way, no thanks to you. We did it on our own, no help from you.

    [moves closer to steam valve] 

    Reverend Frank Scott : We did ask you to fight for us but damn it, don't fight against us! Leave us alone! How many more sacrifices? How much more blood?

    [jumps to steam valve. Steam burns his hands as he hangs there] 

    Reverend Frank Scott : How many more lives?

    [Starts turning valve] 

    Reverend Frank Scott : Belle wasn't enough. Acres wasn't. Now this girl! You want another life? Then take me!

    [Steam stops. Turns on valve to face survivors] 

    Reverend Frank Scott : You can make it. Keep going. Rogo! Get them through.

    [falls into flaming water below] 

  • Reverend Frank Scott : So what resolution should we make for the new year? It's to let God know that you have the guts and the will to do it alone. Resolve to fight for yourselves, and for others, for those you love. And that part of God within you will be fighting with you all the way.

  • Reverend Frank Scott : Through the kitchens and go deeper and deeper in the ship till we reach the hull. That way!

    Mike Rogo : And you just kick out the botton and we swim ashore, huh?

    Linda Rogo : Or maybe you could yell 'This is the police' and it'll open right up!

    Mike Rogo : Don't be a smartass!

  • Reverend Frank Scott : Please GOD NOT this woman.

  • Mr. Manny Rosen : I want to stay with her a little longer.

    Reverend Frank Scott : You've got one minute.

  • Reverend Frank Scott : If you don't come with us, her death is meaningless.

  • Reverend Frank Scott : Give her your shirt.

    Mike Rogo : My shirt?

    Linda Rogo : Come on!

    Mike Rogo : Linda, next time you put something on, like I told you to put on!

  • Reverend Frank Scott : I said I was gonna get everybody out of here and goddamit I'm gonna do it!

    Linda Rogo : Well, what do you want us to do?

  • Mike Rogo : Wait a minute! This is no goddamn engine room!

    Linda Rogo : Then where the Hell are we?

    Reverend Frank Scott : There was a corridor leading to the engine room.

    Mr. Manny Rosen : But now it's underwater.

    Reverend Frank Scott : All right. We'll swim through it. Give me the rope.

    Linda Rogo : You've gotta be kidding!

    Mike Rogo : She's right. If the corridor's underwater what about the engine room?

    Reverend Frank Scott : It's in the clear. It's one deck up. It's above us. We'll swim through the bulkhead, down a short corridor and up a companionway. It can't be more than thirty five feet at the most.

    Linda Rogo : Oh, is that all!

    Reverend Frank Scott : We can do it. Trust me, we can do it!

  • Linda Rogo : Jesus Christ! What happened?

    Reverend Frank Scott : We've turned over.

  • Purser : For God's sake, Reverend, what you're doing is suicide!

    Reverend Frank Scott : We're cut off from the rest of the world. They can't get to us. Maybe we can get to them. You've said enough, now get out of the way.

    Purser : Pray for us, but don't do this!

    [to the others] 

    Purser : Climbing to another deck will kill you all!

    Reverend Frank Scott : And sitting on our butts is not going to help us either. Maybe by climbing out of here, we can save ourselves. If you've got any sense, you'll come along with us.

  • Reverend Frank Scott : [Rogo has refused to help move the Christmas tree]  You get your ass down here with us, mister, right away.

    Mike Rogo : Hey... You oughta watch your language, Preacher. You sound like you come from the slum, or somethin'!

    Linda Rogo : You son of a bitch, go help him!

  • Reverend Scott : God is pretty busy! He's got a long term plan for humanity that stretches far beyond our comprehension. So its not reasonable to expect Him to concern Himself with the individual. The individual is important - only to the extent of providing a creative link - between the past and the future, in his children, or in his grandchildren or his contributions to humanity. Therefore, don't pray to God to solve your problems. Pray to that part of God within you. Have the guts - to fight for yourself. God wants brave souls. He wants winners! Not quitters. lf you can't win, at least try to win. God loves tryers.

  • Purser : We must stay until help arrives.

    Reverend Scott : Help from where? From the captain? He's dead. Everyone above us before the ship turned over is dead. Because now they're under the water.

    Purser : That's not true!

    Reverend Scott : It is true, you pompous ass!

  • Reverend Frank Scott : Are you gonna give us a hand, Mr Rogo?

    Mike Rogo : No. Didn't you hear what that Purser said. He said to stay here and keep calm. Help will be here, and I'm staying right here.

    Linda Rogo : There he goes, that's my old man.

    Mike Rogo : Look Linda.

    Linda Rogo : Everything by the book.

  • Reverend Frank Scott : I said don't look down!

    Linda Rogo : Okay, okay.

  • Reverend Frank Scott : Lets make a toast.

    Linda Rogo : Great. What will we drink to?

    Reverend Frank Scott : To Love.

    Linda Rogo : Here here. To love. To Love. To Love, dummy!

    Mike Rogo : Oh.

  • Reverend Frank Scott : [after giving Belle a boost up the tree]  Excuse me for getting so personal, Mrs. Rosen.

    Mrs. Belle Rosen : What else could you do? Mrs. Peter Pan I'm not.

  • Mike Rogo : I think what I don't like about you, Scott, is your attitude. Or does it go deeper than that?

    Reverend Frank Scott : Maybe we're two of a kind, Mr. Rogo. You don't like looking at yourself.

  • Reverend Scott : John, you've got to use your church for something more positive than prayer.

    Chaplain : If you deliver sermons like this, its a wonder that you're still an ordained minister. Or are you?

    Reverend Scott : The best kind. Angry. Rebellious. Critical. A renegade.

  • Reverend Scott : There's nobody alive but us! And nobody's going to help us except ourselves. lt's up to each one of you. lt's up to all of us. Together.

  • Mike Rogo : I think what I don't like about you, Scott, is your attitude - or does it go deeper than that?

    Reverend Frank Scott : Maybe we're two of a kind, Mr. Rogo, and you don't like looking at yourself.

  • Reverend Scott : Get down on your *knees* and pray to God for help? And then maybe everything will work out fine? Garbage.

  • Belle Rosen : There's something different up there than there is from down here?

    Reverend Scott : Yes. Life. Life is up there. And life always matters. Very much.

  • Reverend Scott : Your place is with the living. lf you don't come with us, her death is meaningless. Now come on!

  • Reverend Frank Scott : Maybe by climbing out of here, we can save ourselves. You got any sense, you'll come along with us. Grab a hold!

    [He, Rogo and several other men grab a hold of the Christmas tree] 

    Reverend Frank Scott : On three! One, two...

    [the men lift the Christmas tree] 

    Mike Rogo : Holy fuck, it's heavy.

  • Mr. Tinkham : [Mortally wounded]  Please.. help me.. help me, please.

    Reverend Frank Scott : [hearing him, tries to tend to his wounds] 

    Mr. Tinkham : [weakly, not realizing that the ship has overturned]  Must... go to the lifeboat stations.

    Reverend Frank Scott : Soon. Very soon.

    Mr. Tinkham : Please... go to... life... boat... stations...

    [dies] 

  • Reverend Scott : I need a monkey.

  • Reverend Scott : Come with us.

    Chaplain : l can't leave these people. l know l can't save them and l suspect we'll die. But l can't leave them.

    Reverend Scott : They don't want to go. They've chosen to stay. Why should you? What good's your life then? What's it all been for?

    Chaplain : l have no other choice.

  • Mike Rogo : How do you know! Have you been there? Have you seen the bow? How do you know! What makes you so fired sure that you're right and all those other people are wrong! How do you know?

    Reverend Frank Scott : That's great! That's just great! Get yourself killed just because twenty other people want to die! That's typical!
