Mysterious Voice Captivates Crew Members
Greer
Earlier, when I was doing my recon, I could swear I heard a woman's voice singing to me. It was like she was, like she was coming on to me or something.
Munder
Oh, no.
[laughs]
Greer
It was the sexiest voice I ever heard, man.
Santos
She got any backup singers?
Munder
Brother, whatever you're on, get me some!
Dodge
I think maybe you're not quite ready to get married, Greer.
[laughs]

Understanding Nicknames and Dreams in Conversation
Oren Monash
Sometimes I see flashes of light. You know like colours. I fall asleep and I dream. But there's a part of me that's always awake. And I can see myself dreaming. I'm just seeing things differently, Fish.
Spurgeon Tanner
Well, that's good.
Oren Monash
Fish. Why the hell do they call you "Fish"?
Spurgeon Tanner
Spurgeon, sturgeon, fish. Took me about 15 minutes of my first day at the Naval Academy.
Oren Monash
Your kids go there?
Spurgeon Tanner
Yeah, they did. They did. And they're good men, both of them. I don't see as much of them as I used to when Mary was alive.
Oren Monash
You don't have to talk about it. It's O.K.
Spurgeon Tanner
No, it's O.K. It's O.K. You're a married man; you know what it's like. Every marriage has its good years and bad years. We ended on a great year. Well, lets get started. Moby Dick, chapter one. "Call me Ishmael. Several years, never mind how long precisely, having little or no money in my purse... grim about the mouth." "Whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul, whenever I find myself knocking people's hats off, then I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.

Contingency Plans for Comet Threat
Spurgeon Tanner
Could I bother everyone for a minute? Let's take a look at the big one. Now the outgassing has created a vent a half a mile wide and at least two miles deep. Comet gets closer to to the sun, sun melts the ice, ice turns to steam, we get a big hole, O.K.? So, how many nukes we have left in the back?
Mikhail Tulchinsky
We have four.
Spurgeon Tanner
If we get the remaining bombs in that vent, there shouldn't be anything left in that comet bigger than a suitcase. We can't do anything about the little one, but it just might give them a chance. Without the arming codes, we're going to have to wait to set the bomb timers until we get closer to Earth to raise Houston.
Mikhail Tulchinsky
We may not have enough life support left to get back into the cargo bay for the nukes, much less go down with the comet.
Mark Simon
We sure as hell don't have enough propellant left in the Messiah to manuever with. How do we set the nukes inside the comet and get out before they blow?
Oren Monash
We don't.
Andrea Baker
Look on the bright side. We'll all have high schools named after us.

License and registration. What, are you test driving this baby?

Don't she purr, though?
Officer Gore
At 70 miles an hour?
Col. Slade
You should hear it at 125. Ha!

Where's your license?

You bet. Indeed.

You're doin a hell of a job, Gore!
Officer Gore
Oh, and so are you, Colonel. Who's the kid?

My boy Charlie. He kept tellin me to "let her out, let her out"; what was I gonna do, disappoint him?
Officer Gore
Yes. Tell you what I'm gonna do, Colonel. I'm gonna let you go. On one condition.
[''Pauses'']
Col. Slade
What's that?
Officer Gore
That you take this rig straight back to the dealer.
Charlie
Y-you got it.

Shut up.

Good Lord. Ha ha!
