Quotes

The Descent

Edit
  • Beth: I'm an English teacher, not fucking Tomb Raider.
  • Beth: [Sarah is trapped in a tunnel and Beth is trying to calm her down with a joke] Hey, you love this one, "How do you give a lemon an orgasm?" You tickle its citrus!
  • Rebecca: The noise she's making, she'll bring every one of those things down on her head.
  • Sam: As long as it's not on mine.
  • Sam: Trying to set this watch is impossible, the buttons are too fucking small.
  • Holly: Why do you wear that thing anyway ?
  • Sam: My boyfriend gave it to me, it's sentimental.
  • Holly: It's fucking mental, any guy who'd give that to me I'd dump him on the spot.
  • Beth: [trapped after a cave-in] You put in a flight-plan, right? If we don't report in they'll come looking for us.
  • Rebecca: That's how it's supposed to work, except I put in a flight-plan for Boreham Caverns and this isn't Boreham Caverns, is it Juno?
  • Beth: We're in the wrong fucking cave!
  • Juno: Holly was right! Boreham Caverns was a tourist trap!
  • Holly: Don't try and pin this fucking shit on me!
  • Rebecca: This is not caving, this is an ego-trip.
  • Sam: Where are we?
  • Juno: It hasn't got a name. It's a new system. I wanted us all to discover it! No one's ever been down here before.
  • Sam: Are you fucking kidding me?
  • Holly: Hey, there's something down here...
  • [Terrified, looking at Sarah who's covered in blood]
  • Juno: What happened to you?
  • Beth: Sarah... don't leave me like this.
  • Sarah: No. Please don't ask me to do that.
  • Beth: Please.
  • Sarah: I can't. I can't do that. I can't do that.
  • Beth: Please.
  • Sarah: OK. Shh. Close your eyes.
  • Rebecca: [while Sarah is looking throught the camera, with night vision on] oh, fuck it! Hello!
  • Juno: Please!
  • Rebecca: Is there anybody there!
  • Beth: Hello?
  • [Sarah points the camera at Beth, Crawler behind her]
  • [Repeated line]
  • Juno: It'll be fine.
  • Sarah: [Sarah uses Holly's camera in night vision mode and sees all of the dead animal bones] Dead animals! Hundreds of them!
  • Beth: This is not good, guys.
  • Sam: Can we get out of here?
  • Rebecca: Which way?
  • Juno: [Uses lighter to try and find the breeze] Come on.
  • [the lighter's flame does not move]
  • Juno: I don't know.
  • Beth: What do you mean you don't know?
  • Juno: There's no breeze! It could be any one of these tunnels! Take your pick!
  • Rebecca: Oh, fuck it!
  • [yelling]
  • Rebecca: Helloooooo!
  • Juno: [trying to calm down Rebecca] Please!
  • Rebecca: [continuing to yell] Is there anybody there?
  • Beth: [also yelling] Hello!
  • [a crawler suddenly appears behind Beth]
  • [Juno is preparing to launch herself first down into the crevice. She speaks to her friends:]
  • Juno: You okay?
  • [One of the women says, "No."]
  • Juno: [Not listening:] See you down there.
  • Holly: [Sarah has just been scared by a bunch of bats which attacked her. Holly films the bats flying away]
  • [in imitation of 'The Count' from Sesame Street]
  • Holly: One bat, two bats, fifty bats!
  • [Beth comes up to her]
  • Beth: Holly... Fuck off
  • Sarah: What about you Holly, got a man ?
  • Holly: Oh I'm a sports fuck like Juno.
  • Juno: Sam's gonna be Doctor Van Ney in like a year's time.
  • Beth: Please tell me it's longer than that.
  • [Juno, as Team Leader, gives instructions before the women begin to descend]
  • Juno: Holly: safety first! I don't want any stunts this time.
  • [last lines]
