• [Vic Rossiter mis-pronounces the word "lieutenant" while posing as an officer in the Royal Navy] 

  Captain : [puzzled, and then smiles]  You're *Canadian*, aren't you?

  Vic Rossiter : [pleased]  Why, *yes*! I'm surprised you could still tell- I've been with the Royal Navy for almost 4 years, now.

• Vic Rossiter : Trench also said that you're a good diver - and for a price you'd put on a suit.

  Mark Brittain : For a good price I'd put on a suit. But, not one of Trench's suits. That'd take more money than you've got and more of a death wish than I've got.

• Vic Rossiter : Wear slacks from now on will you, Baby? I don't want him frustrated.

• Linc Langley : Hold on, this is all a joke, right? Nobody here thinks this is going to work?

  Vic Rossiter : You just get this clear. If you don't think it can work, you don't belong on this trip. I don't relish the ides of being cooped up in a sub with a caramel-colored lush, anyway.

• Vic Rossiter : Just so we don't misunderstand each other, Brittain. We don't share everything alike. What was owned before, that's not in the pot.

  Rosa Lucchesi : So we don't have any misunderstandings - nobody owns me. You have a few prerogatives, Victor, but that's a gift from me to you. I can revoke the license anytime.

• Tony Moreno : "The terrible ifs accumulate."

  Vic Rossiter : Hmm?

  Tony Moreno : Winston Churchill.

• Vic Rossiter : I love Italians. They're so damned musical.

• Vic Rossiter : It's like a nuthouse. That's what it is, a loony bin: a happy German - queer for boats, our spaghetti eater, Mr. Brittain's wino freedom rider, and Mr. Brittain, himself, who I think would sell us out for 25 bucks in hard cash. Now, did I forget anybody?
