You see, Mr. Scott? In the water, I'm a very skinny lady.

The Poseidon Adventure quotes
Page 1 of 3I'm going next. So if old fat ass gets stuck in there, I won't get stuck behind her.
You! Preacher! You lyin', murderin' son of a bitch! I started to believe in your promises, that we had a chance. What chance? You took from me the only thing I ever loved in the whole world, my Linda.
You see, swimming through the corridors and up and down these stairwells, I'm the only one trained to do things like that.
Will you shut up?!
[discussing the approaching wave]
It seems to be piling up those shallows... By the way, Happy New Year.
First Officer Larsen Thank you, sir. Same to you.
First Officer Larsen 60 knots, sir.
It must be mountainous...
Wireless Operator
Yes, sir!
Get of a Mayday!
Wireless Operator
[puzzled]
Mayday, sir?
Yes, I said Mayday, Mayday, Mayday!
Chief Engineer Joe Chief here. Go ahead.
Joe, what the hell's going on down there? Is there nothing more you can do with those stabilizers?
Chief Engineer Joe There's nothing wrong with the stabilizers, so there's nothing more I can do with them. Besides I got my hands full with this pump! You know damn well what the trouble is - it's that bastard Linarcos!
Would you care to repeat yourself? He's standing right here.
Chief Engineer Joe Good! I hope he heard me!
What do I tell I tell the others?
Tell them to break out their hymnbooks and start singing "Nearer My God To Thee"!
What kind of a policeman were you? You've done nothing but beef and complain. Always negative, always destructive. Well, now's you're chance to something positive for a change! [tauntingly] Are you quitting, Mr. Rogo? Are you going out with a whimper, on your belly?
All right, you. That's enough.
We've turned over.
Linda, Linda honey, are you all right?
Hi... where the hell have you been?
What do you think? Flying around on my ass.
Mike, I saw a young officer on deck the other day, and he looked pretty damn familiar... even with his clothes on.
So he recognized ya, so?
So doesn't that bother you?
If it bothered me, I wouldn'ta married ya.
Well, first you arrested me six times!
Well, I had to figure out some way to keep you off the streets... until you'd marry me!
Come here, you lousy cop.
This is a bunch of crap. We're sinking and nothing's going to keep us from drowning.
Keep moving.
He's right, Mrs. Rogo, there are air pockets all over the ship.
Air pockets?
Manny Rogen
Yes, just because that deck is flooded doesn't mean this one will.
Belle, be careful.
You think I'm planning on being careless? [dives in]
What the hell does he think she's doing?!
Let her go. She knows what she's doing.
Linda, ya hear me?
Will you shut up? I'm busy in here!
You weren't on the streets that long! How many guys did you know! Do you realize how slim even one of those characters is on this boat?
She's got nothin' on underneath.
Just panties. What else do I need?
What do you mean what else do you need?
My shirt?
Come on.
Linda, next time you put something on like I told you to put on!
