Quotes from the film

"When you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you."
(Friedrich Nietzsche) |

"A place on
earth more awesome than anywhere in space."
(film's tagline) |

"I'm trying
to keep this situation under control, I can't allow for
that kind of hysteria!" (Bud) . . .
"I saw
these things. I touched one of them! And ... it wasn't some
clunky steel can like we would build. It glided. It was the
most beautiful thing I've ever seen! . . . It
was a machine, but it was alive! It was like a dance of light! . . . We all see what we
want to see. Coffey looks and he sees Russians. He sees hate and fear. You have to look
with better eyes than that!" (Lindsey) |

"What is
your problem? On this dive, you'll do absolutely nothing
without direct orders from me, and you'll follow those
orders without discussion, is that clear?" (Lt Coffey)
"Look,
er, it's 3 am. These guys are running on bad coffee and about four hours of
sleep! Maybe you could cut them some slack." (Bud)
"I can't afford slack." (Lt Coffey)
"Hey,
you come on my rig, you don't talk to me, and you start ordering my people
around. It's not gonna work. You gotta know how to handle these people. We got a certain
way of doing things here." (Bud)
"Right now, I'm not interested in your way of doing things. Just get your team
ready to dive." (Lt Coffey) |
| |
"You know,
those SEALS, they're not telling us diddly, something is
going on!" (Hippy)
"Hippy, you think everything's a conspiracy!" (Bud)
"Everything is!!" (Hippy) |
| |
|
"There is something down there, something not us. . . . Something
non-human but intelligent." (Lindsey) |
| |
"I don't
know what kind of deals you guys made with the company, but
my people are not qualified for this. We're oil workers."
(Bud)
"This is
Lieutenant Coffey. He will transfer you down to you with a
SEAL team and supervise the operation." (Army officer)
"You can
send down whoever you like down here, but I'm the tool
pusher around this rig, and when it comes to the safety of
these people, there's me and then there's God, you
understand?" (Bud) |
| |
"We need to get unhooked and get out of here NOW!!!!" (Bud's boss)
"All right, do it then." (SEALS officer)
"No problem, except your boys went sightseeing with Flatbed. My people
need Flabed to get unhooked at their end!" (Bud's boss)
"Back in two hours." (SEALS officer)
"Two hours!!?! We're gonna get the s*** kicked out of us by our
pal Fred [a cyclone] in two hours!" (Bud's boss) |
