Confronting Fear in the Face of Danger
Sherman "Preacher" Dudley
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. For thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. Because I carry a big stick and I'm the meanest motherfucker in the valley! Two sharks down, Lord! One demon fish to go! Can I get an Amen?

Shark's Strength Surprises Characters in Deep Blue Sea
Russell Franklin
Was that a goddamn shark broke through that door?
Carter Blake
I expect so.
Russell Franklin
You expect so? Well, well, well. Am I the only asshole down here who thinks that a tad bit odd? It can do that? Bust through a steel door?
Carter Blake
I ain't the expert. Given Gen Two's size and some room to move... she could put a couple tons, maybe more, into a hit. So, yeah, in my opinion. If she wants through, she's coming.
Russell Franklin
And these sharks... they aren't breaking down doors for the sheer joy of it, are they? They're after us.

Ethics of Suffering and Scientific Ambition
Dr. Susan McCallister
By the end, all my father could do was ask why my mother wasn't at home. Each time I said she was dead, I watched him take the loss like a car wreck. What if you could end all that suffering with a single pill? Give me till Monday morning. 48 hours. My results will skyrocket your stock price... or I'll help you pack the lab myself. It's your call.

The Dangers of Nature and Humanity
Russell Franklin
You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the avalanche came, it took us a week to climb out. And somewhere, we lost hope. Now, I don't know exactly when we turned on each other. I just know that seven of us survived the slide... and only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I'm breaking now. Swore we'd say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn't. Nature can be lethal, but it doesn't hold a candle to man. Now you've seen how bad things can get and how quick they can get that way. Well, they can get a whole lot worse. So we're not going to fight anymore! We're going to pull together and find a way to get out of here! First, we're gonna seal off this pool-- AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Fear of Failure in High Stakes Investment
Russell Franklin

Life Underwater vs. Life on the Surface
Carter Blake
Happy birthday?
Susan McCallister

Sherman Dudley's Legacy and Culinary Wisdom
Sherman "Preacher" Dudley
My name is Sherman Dudley...and if this message finds you, I did not survive, so this is my legacy. I have loved the pulpit and I have loved the bottle. I did my best to be a good husband, a father. I came up wanting. So what do I have to say to you? What mark do I have to leave behind? We'll begin with the perfect omelette, made with two eggs, not three. Amateurs often add milk for density. This is a mistake!

Facing Irony and Seeking Survival
Sherman "Preacher" Dudley
