Quotes6

  • Lucas: I can tell you something about this place. The boys around here call it "The Black Lagoon" - a paradise. Only they say nobody has ever come back to prove it.
  • Lucas: What kind of fishing is that? Who eats rocks?
  • Carl Maia: I eat rocks, in a manner of speaking. I crush and look inside them and they tell me things.
  • Lucas: What do they tell you?
  • Carl Maia: How old they are.
  • Mark Williams: We're staying until we get him.
  • David Reed: Or until somebody else gets killed. No, we're not. Lucas, we're getting out of here as fast as we can.
  • Lucas: Okay.
  • Mark Williams: I'll make the decisions around here.
  • Lucas: But you are wrong, Mr. Williams. Oh the water, the captain makes the decisions.
  • [to David]
  • Lucas: We will do as you say.
  • Mark Williams: You'll listen to me.
  • Lucas: [sticks his knife up Mark's chin] You wish to say something, mister? Huh?
  • Lucas: It is impossible. But I, Lucas, will do it.
  • Dr. Thompson: Demon, eh? Well, it's no more far-fetched than your gillman.
  • Lucas: There are many strange legends in the Amazon. Even I, Lucas, have heard the legend of a man-fish.
  • David Reed: It's the only way. We've to clear this inlet.
  • Lucas: Hey, that fellow down there, you think he's a mosquito you can shoo away?
  • David Reed: We got to take that chance.
  • Kay Lawrence: Oh, sure. What's an expedition without two martyrs at least!
  • David Reed: Hey, Kay, I'm doing the only thing we can do. If we all just sit here, we'll - we'll all end up as Mark did.
