They're suppositories, Mr. Rogo. You don't swallow them.
Then what the hell do you do with them?
Linda Rogo For Christ's sake, I know what to do with suppositories! Just get them outta here!
You know what it means to be picked out from all the people aboard to sit at the Captain's table on New Year's Eve? Well, I'll tell ya what it means. It means that all your worries about those other women looking on ya is a lot of bull.
Linda Rogo He only invited you because you're a Detective Lieutenant. Why don't you just go without me?
And what am I supposed to do at midnight? Kiss the Captain?
Linda Rogo Don't knock it.
Linda, ya hear me?
Linda Rogo 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?
Linda Rogo [affected accent]
You don't have to shout.
Linda Rogo [shouts]
I heard what you said!
Linda Rogo 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?
Linda Rogo So doesn't that bother you?
If it bothered me, I wouldn'ta married ya.
Linda Rogo 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!
Linda Rogo Come here, you lousy cop.
This is the first trip since we got married.
Linda Rogo Yeah, and why we didn't fly, I'll never know.
Well, since I'm in charge. let's make a toast.
Linda Rogo Great. What do we drink to?
To love.
Linda Rogo Here here, to love. [to Mike] To love, dummy!
Oh.
Linda Rogo [dazed]
Jesus Christ. What happened?
We've turned over.
Linda, Linda honey, are you all right?
Linda Rogo Hi... where the hell have you been?
What do you think? Flying around on my ass.
She's got nothin' on underneath.
Linda Rogo Just panties. What else do I need?
What do you mean what else do you need?
My shirt?
Linda Rogo Come on.
Linda, next time you put something on like I told you to put on!
Through the kitchen and go deeper and deeper in the ship till we reach the hull. That way!
And you just kick out the bottom and we swim ashore, huh?
Linda Rogo Or maybe you could yell "This is the police" and it'll open right up!
Don't be a smart ass!
Linda Rogo 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.
Linda Rogo Air pockets?
Manny Rogen
Yes, just because that deck is flooded doesn't mean this one will.
You see, swimming through the corridors and up and down these stairwells, I'm the only one trained to do things like that.
Linda Rogo Will you shut up?!
[Linda is about to climb up the Christmas tree]
Ok Mrs. Rogo, up you go. But you'll have to take off that long gown.
Like hell she will!
She can't climb in it. It's too tight.
She's got nothin' under it!
Linda Rogo Just panties. What else do I need?
What do you mean what else do you need?!
Give her your shirt.
But...my...
Linda Rogo Come on.
Linda, next time you put something on like I told you to put on!
