On the brink of death - courage was his only weapon.

Quotes:

[Answering a question about his 1908-9 expedition]::Sir Ernest Shackleton: Thank you for your question. You are right, sir, we failed. We failed to reach the South Pole. I turned back. I chose life over death for myself and for my friends, which is why I am here to tell you about it tonight. But others follow in our footsteps Captain Scott, taking our route; the Norwegian, Amundsen, from the Bay of Whales. And if they should fail, then I will try again. Because I believe it is in our nature to explore, to reach out into the unknown. The only true failure... would be not to explore at all.

Emily Shackleton: Well?::Sir Ernest Shackleton: Well, what?::Emily Shackleton: How did you do?::Sir Ernest Shackleton: Ahh, one invitation to go to the races, and a request from Mr. Morgan's office to keep in touch with developments. A zero, a naught, nothing.::Emily Shackleton: So what's next?::Sir Ernest Shackleton: I don't know. Rent an office and get started, I suppose.

[using the tea-things to demonstrate the planned expedition]::Sir Ernest Shackleton: And there we will, uh, make a base, and a smaller party will start a march towards the, um...::Janet Stancombe Wills: Scone.::Sir Ernest Shackleton: Ah, ah, the scone, precisely. At the same time a second group will land on the other side of the continent, uh, the Ross Sea, and make their way across the Beardmore Glacier towards the Pole, I-I-I mean the, uh, scone, um, laying food depots[he uses crumbs] as they go, so that my party will have supplies for the second half...[and at this point the dog jumps onto the tableau and starts eating it]

Sir Ernest Shackleton: Yes, well, uh, thank you for seeing me, and, uh, perhaps you will be able to give some thought to the possibility of becoming a sponsor.::Janet Stancombe Wills: Sir Ernest, my contribution towards your exciting adventure is over there on the desk. Please. I'm not the sort of woman to waste a man's time.::Sir Ernest Shackleton: Miss Stancombe Wills, I don't know how to thank you.::Janet Stancombe Wills: By succeeding, of course. And perhaps by addressing me in future as Janet.

Sir Ernest Shackleton: But grateful as I am for the generous contribution of this society, this committee must accept that scientists do not pay for science. I make no apology for seeking publicity. Without something that the newsmen can understand and support, there is no public; without the public there are no sponsors; without sponsorship there is *no expedition*.

Sir Ernest Shackleton: You think the threat of war makes it hard to raise money; it doesn't make any bloody difference! If it's not a war, it's a peace, or the stock market, or the weather, or the time of year. It is always hard, because what I do appears unreasonable to other men.

Sir James Caird: After this conversation, I realize there is only one option open to me if I am to protect myself and my money. This is a cheque for £24,000. If I were to give you less, the expedition might never happen, and my money would be wasted. I do not like waste. I particularly do not like to see a man's abilities wasted.

Sir Ernest Shackleton: First let me say that if war is declared, any man who wishes to leave the expedition to serve his country is free to do so. It is clear to me where our first duty lies, and this morning I telegraphed the First Lord of the Admiralty and put our ship, and every one of us, at his disposal. We now await his decision. I hope you will forgive me, but I particularly asked that if he saw fit to employ us in the service of our country, that might he allow us to stay together, erhaps aboard a destroyer. I did this because I can honestly think of no finer group of men with whom to serve.

[reading the telegram]::Sir Ernest Shackleton: From Winston Churchill. There's only one word; Proceed.

Janet Stancombe Wills: A rich old lady gets used to people not telling her the truth; flattering her, perhaps. But you've never done that. You've always paid me the compliment of speaking from your heart; now allow me to do the same. Go to the Pole. Go before it's too late. Not everyone is fortunate enough to understand their own talent, but you know yours. Well, use it. For your family, and for your country.

The life he wanted to end, was just about to begin
Meet a man dying to live.

Quotes:

Wilbur: You licked my ear. I'd have bought a dog if I wanted my ear licked.

Harbour: She'll have hers to go.

Harbour: What's it like, being dead?::Wilbur: It's dull as dishwater. It's silent and completely dark... it's like being in Wales.

Wilbur: Horst. Is that German for "sausage"?::Horst: No. But it's close.

Wilbur: It's a snowbeast.

Orchestra and Men's Chorus
Oh oh! Oh oh!
Oh oh! Oh oh!
Oh oh! Oh oh!
Oh oh! Oh oh...

the need to know gives a strange reaction
the need to know kills my soul, my passion
when will I know, just how far this goes
I feel the glow of a man whose tasted loss
fail each time, strong in mind
turn each page that you wrote
now and then you'll see me there always pale with despair
the safe release bears no threat or danger
the tide is weak, but may welcome strangers
this joy it seems maybe just a dream
a soul unclean, like a man whose tasted woe
fail each time, strong in mind
harbour tales of your woe
now and then you'll see me there always pale with despair
fail each time, strong in mind
turn each page that you wrote

To our fore, the harbour lights
Shining out like beacons burning.
They can stop this endless night.
They can stop the wheels from turning.
Faces in a setting sun
Say again that we soon will be one.
Starlight rakes the silver wing
Bringing home it's sons and daughters.
No one knows the state I'm in
Spinning swift above the waters.
Faces in a setting sun
Say again that we soon will be one.
Faces in a setting sun

(feat. Moby)
The street bears no relief
When everybody's fighting
The street bears no relief
With light so hot and binding
I run the stairs away
And walk into the nighttime
The sadness flows like water
And washes down the heartache
And washes down the heartache
My heart is full
My heart is wide
The saddest song to play
On the strings of my heart
The heat is on its own
The roof seems so inviting
A vantage point is gained
To watch the children fighting
So lead me to the harbour
And float me on the waves
Sink me in the ocean
To sleep in a sailor's grave
To sleep in a sailor's grave
My heart is full
My heart is wide
The saddest song to play
On the strings of my heart
My heart is full
My heart is wide, so wide
The saddest song to play
On the strings of my heart

To our fore the harbour lights
Shining out like beacons burning
They can stop this endless night
They can stop the wheels from burning
Faces in a setting sun
Say again that we soon will be one
Starlight rakes the silver wing
Bringing home its sons and daughters
No-one knows the state I'm in
Spinning swift above the waters
Faces in a setting sun
Say again that we soon will be one

the street bears no relief
when everybody's fighting
the street bears no relief
with light so hot and binding
I run the stairs away
and walk into the nighttime
the sadness flows like water
and washes down the heartache
and washes down the heartache
my heart is full
my heart is wide
the saddest song to play
on the strings of my heart
the heat is on its own
the roof seems so inviting
a vantage point is gained
to watch the children fighting
so lead me to the harbour
and float me on the waves
sink me in the ocean
to sleep in a sailor's grave
to sleep in a sailor's grave
my heart is full
my heart is wide
the saddest song to play
on the strings of my heart
my heart is full
my heart is wide, so wide
the saddest song to play

To our fore, the harbour lights

Your life and you, always had different plans
And never shared one point of view
So no one even comes halfway near you
In terms of making their life a mess
My life and me, we've never been best friends
But somehow learnt to coexist
Why be afraid of things getting even worse
They're already as bad as can be
But after all, what it boils down to is
Whatever we need is right here by our side
When the rain goes down
When the rain goes down
When it pours out over you
Then I will harbour you
Until the sun comes out
It seems you and I
We were made for each other
Though naturally we'd both disagree
If you take the elevator
Then I will walk the stairs
If you choose coffee
I'll have tea
But after all, what it boils down to is
Whatever we need is right here by our side
When the rain goes down
When the rain goes down
When it pours out over you
Then I will harbour you
