'Shaw: [points at the flag bearer] If this man should fall, who will lift the flag and carry on?
Searles
[Searles steps forward]
I will.
Shaw
I'll see you in the fort, Thomas.
Searles
Mulcahy
[watching Searles practice with his bayonet]
Oh, what do we have here? Bonnie Prince Charley and his toy bayonet! Stab me.
Searles
What?
Mulcahy
Stab-me.
Mulcahy
[Searles comes at him gingerly and Mulcahy slaps it away]
I said STAB, not TICKLE! Come on, you prissy little schoolgirl!
Mulcahy
[Searles comes at him again, Mulcahy disarms him and slams the rifle butt into his stomach, then his face. Searles falls to the ground, writhing in pain and sobbing]
No shame, son, get up... I SAID GET UP!
Trip
**** forgot to duck, that's all!
Shaw
Sergeant, deal with that man!
Trip
Hey, yo, ****, that's my spot, see.
Searles
If you don't mind, there's more sufficient reading light here.
Trip
Oooh, I like it when **** talk good as white folks!
Searles
I'd be happy to teach you.
Trip
Now, listen here, I ain't got nothin' to learn from no house ****, you hear?
Searles
I am a free man, like my father before me.
Trip
Oh, really? Then move your free black ass out my spot, see!
Cassiel
If you knew what was going to happen, would you still have done it? Was it worth it?
Seth
I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One.
Seth
The little girl asked if she could be an angel.
Cassiel
They all want wings.
Seth
I never know what to say.
Cassiel
Tell them the truth. Angels aren't human. We were never human.
Seth
What if I just make her a little pair of wings out of paper?
Seth
Why did He do this?
Cassiel
I don't know.
Seth
Am I being punished?
Cassiel
You know better than that.
Brent Norton
We are experiencing some sort of disaster. I don't know if it's man-made or natural, but it's definitely not supernatural.
David Drayton
You're sure there's no way I can talk you out of this?
Brent Norton
David, there's nothing out there. Nothing in the mist.
David Drayton
And if you're wrong?
Brent Norton
Then, I guess... the joke will be on me, after all.
David Drayton
[referring to a clothesline]
Tie this around your waist.
Brent Norton
What for?
David Drayton
It'll let us know you got at least three hundred feet.
Captain Michael Bradford
Now we're not sure exactly what happened here, but our best guess is that we were struck by what is known as a rogue wave. They are rare, they are unpredictable, and they are lethal, Now the good news. The instant this ship was struck, emergency GPS locater beacons were launched, so we are at most, several hours from rescue. [People start to panic; a few ask if the ship is sinking] Please, do yourselves a favor. Follow the directions of my officers, and stay calm. This room is a giant air bubble holding up the ship. Once these bulkhead doors are sealed, we will be safe from gas leaks, fire, and flooding. We will be saved.
Captain Bradford
You may not leave this ballroom.
Robert Ramsey
Excuse me?
Captain Bradford
I am within my authority to compel you to stay, you know that.
Robert Ramsey
Captain, I understand- you have no choice. You have sick and injured people here, you need to stay with them. [Bradford nods] But I am going to find my daughter, and don't think for one second that you're going to stop me.
Connor
What are you doing?
Dylan
Thinking, you?
Connor
Thinking, what are we thinking about exactly?
Dylan
Well, I'm thinking of this door, and what's behind it.
Dylan
[Connor approaches the door]
Easy there, fireball, we don't know what's behind there.
Officer
[A tremendous explosion shakes the ballroom as the leaking gas in the galley explodes]
Captain!
Captain Bradford
That felt like the galley.
Officer
The gas shut offs must have malfunctioned.
Captain Bradford
The door seals, will they keep the fire out?
Officer
Yes, Captain.
Captain Bradford
God rest their souls.
