• Lt. Mueller : I just, I just found it difficult to...

  Carl Lanser : To do what?

  Lt. Mueller : To reconcile the killing of men and women without any warning. Makes me wonder if we're not damned now.

  Carl Lanser : In the eyes of the British admiralty, we most certainly are.

  Lt. Mueller : I mean, sir, in the eyes of God.

  Carl Lanser : Oh, you're not only a fool, Leutnant, but also a religious fool, and perhaps a mystic at that. Suppose we are damned. What will happen then?

  Lt. Mueller : I've had dreams about it. Perhaps there is a special kind of hell for people like us. Perhaps to be damned is to have a fate like the people on that ship, to suffer as they suffer and to die as they die.

  Carl Lanser : You are a mystic, Leutnant.

  Lt. Mueller : We'd ride the ghost of that ship every night. Every night, Herr Kapitän, for eternity. They could die only once, just once, but we could die a hundred million times. We could ride the ghost of that ship every night. Every night for eternity.
