• Narrator: This is the sea, as old as the world itself. It extends over three quarters of the surface of the globe. The sea: the birthplace of life, the great storehouse of minerals, the prison of haunting mysteries.
• Dr. J.R. Matheny: No frontier was ever explored by just one expedition.
• The Captain: I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready for a two inch steak!

Dialogue

Dale Marshall: [to Lauri] You just listen to me, Miss Innocent. There's nothing friendly between two females. There never was. There never will be.

Lauri Talbott: Sorry you feel that way. I was hoping we could help each other.

Dale Marshall: You don't need help - neither do I. Not as long as we have two men around us.

Hank: I know you're disappointed that Tom couldn't make it, but I just couldn't get him to come up. He asked me to give you this. [hands over Tom's letter]

Dale Marshall: Well I hope he knows what he's doing, [removes Tom's ring and throws it overboard] 'cause I do.
