Quotes 

  • Dirk Pitt : You want to talk about distress, we have Navy weather forcasting a Force 12 storm, we have Russians looking down our throats and we are on a ship that never learned to do anything but sink, that's distress.

  • Dirk Pitt : You don't look like a scientist.

    Dr. Gene Seagram : What's a scientist supposed to look like?

    Dirk Pitt : I don't know... but if I saw you on the street I'd probably take you for a country club tennis pro. I'd never take you for a scientist.

    Dr. Gene Seagram : Well that makes us even. I'd never take you for a pirate.

  • Dirk Pitt : We don't go to the mountain... the mountain comes to us!

    General Busby : Are you talking about... raising the Titanic?

    Dirk Pitt : [hushed]  yeah...

  • [last lines] 

    Dr. Gene Seagram : What's so funny?

    Dirk Pitt : Eh... I knew a girl once.

    Dr. Gene Seagram : I'll bet you did.

    Dirk Pitt : Years later I ran into her again, she says "What happened to you? I thought you were going to change the world."

    Dr. Gene Seagram : What'd you say?

    Dirk Pitt : I said they had me outnumbered.

    Dr. Gene Seagram : Is that my lesson for the day?

    Dirk Pitt : [laughs]  No more lessons, no more lectures.

    Dr. Gene Seagram : You mean school's out?

    Dirk Pitt : Yeah. You just graduated, Professor.

  • Dirk Pitt : If anything goes wrong, we lose two men and if we don't do anything we lose them anyway. They've got two chances to die and one to live.

  • John Bigalow : It's an odd thing, you know. I've had a few ships shot out from under me. More than my share. Three in the 1914-18 fracas, and two in 39-45. But all anybody ever asks me about is the Titanic.

    Dirk Pitt : [laughs]  And now I'm doing the same thing.

    John Bigalow : And you're lucky you came to the right man!
