- Capt. Nathan Bridger: The 21st century. Mankind has colonized the last unexplored region on Earth: the ocean. As captain of the SeaQuest and its crew, we are it's guardians, for beneath the surface lies the future.
- George Le Chein: So, tell me Captain, how do we beat the SeaQuest?
- Capt. Marilyn Stark: I've already beaten SeaQuest. What I want, is to be there when she drowns.
- Capt. Nathan Bridger: I'm disappointed in you, Marilyn. Four torpedo's fired and only two hits. I thought I tought you better than that.
- Capt. Marilyn Stark: [on viewscreen] I'll do better next time. I promise.
- Capt. Nathan Bridger: There won't be a next time, we both know that. Too many innocent people have died already.
- Capt. Marilyn Stark: [on viewscreen] What world are you living in, Nathan? There are no innocent people. Everybody's guilty of something.
- Dr. Kristin Westphalen: You're going to fire him out of a torpedo tube?
- Capt. Nathan Bridger: Noooo, he's going to *swim* out of a torpedo tube.
- Dr. Kristin Westphalen: [pause] I still don't like it.
- Capt. Nathan Bridger: I want this boat stopped, right now!
- Commander Jonathan Ford: That's impossible, sir. Once we break port, we're commited to the Channel. This isn't exactly a rowboat.
- Capt. Nathan Bridger: I know what it is, Commander, I designed the damned thing.
- Commander Jonathan Ford: If the Captain would like, I could arrange to have a launch craft shuttle you back to Pearl once we hit open water.
- Capt. Nathan Bridger: The Captain would like!
- Commander Jonathan Ford: Yes, sir.
- Renegade Sensor Chief: We're only a few kilometers away. We can go back and wait for her to come up.
- Capt. Marilyn Stark: Come up? She never has to come up. Even in her crippled state she could stay down there for months. No, we're gonna have to draw her out.
- Dr. Kristin Westphalen: We'll need precise specifications of the venting cap assembly.
- Capt. Nathan Bridger: [taps her on the shoulder] I think we need a troubleshooter.
- Dr. Kristin Westphalen: A what?
- Capt. Nathan Bridger: I don't think what's happening on this boat is an accident. I think we need someone to go down into the guts of her computers and look around a bit.
- Capt. Marilyn Stark: [on viewscreen] You want to kill me don't you? The warrior in you wants to taste a little blood? Isn't that funny? I kill for power. You kill for peace. We're just different sides of the same coin. Each heroes to our own causes. Well, lets see who gets the parade.
