Maude: Over trump! Never send a baby for the beer!

crewman: All passengers go to their cabins and put on lifejackets. There is no cause for alarm!

Richard Sturges: [after Richard and Julia have been quarreling over who will have custody of their son] May dear Julia, I've been around enough bridge tables to recognize someone who's holding a high trump - play it now if you will.::Julia Sturges: We'll discuss it later.::Richard Sturges: Now!::Julia Sturges: All right, Richard. One question first?::Richard Sturges: If it's about Norman, you know the answer. No court in the world, no power in the heavens can force me to give up my son.::Julia Sturges: He is not your son.

Richard Sturges: [after a crewman plays a trumpet to announce dinner] Why do the British find it necessary to announce dinner as if it were a cavalry charge.

Maude Young: Where I come from this is either a revival meeting or a crap game.

Richard Sturges: We may be having sand for supper.

I put you down as a useless man, someone to lead a cotillion.::Richard Sturges: After all, it was my major talent.::Julia Sturges: I'm sorry, sorry about everything.::Richard Sturges: We have no time to catalog our regrets. All we can do is pretend 20 years didn't happen. It's June again. You were walking under some Elm trees in a white muslin dress, the loveliest creature I ever laid eyes on. That summer, when I asked you to marry me, I pledged my eternal devotion. I would take it as a very great favor Julia, if you would accept a restatement of that pledge.::[They embrace passionately]

Earl Meeker: Hey, you can't come up here. This is reserved for first class only.::Richard Sturges: Really. I'll do my best to behave properly.

Maude Young: I've seen that look before. He's a runaway.::Earl Meeker: From what, some woman?::Maude: No, he's running too fast for that.

Stoker: Don't go in there, sir. The starboard boiler's gone and the port one's about to go.::Rev. Headley: Are there men in there?::Stoker: A few, pinned under the rig. For God's sake mister, don't go in there.::Rev. Headley: For God's sake, I am going in there.

Quotes:

Portugee: My friend we don't sail on no tide.::Paul Shushaldin: Huh?::Portugee: We got no crew.::Paul Shushaldin: But you told me you had a crew!::Portugee: That's for true. This morning I have crew. You see them boys? Best crew in whole world. I steal them from Boston Man. Now, no crew! Boston Man steal them back... I think he is a thief.

Portugee: When the Portugee make a deal it's a deal!

Jonathan Clark: ...As for your countess Solaniva, you can tell the 'ol wench she can swim to Alaska for all I care.::Deacon Greathouse: Be sure to tell her to take the inland passage, we don't want her to scare the seals.

Jonathan Clark: Let's see what part of Russia you come from.::[leans in to kiss her]::Countess Marina Selanova: [moving away] Not from that part.::Jonathan Clark: Oh?::Countess Marina Selanova: Perhaps, not so quickly. In my part of Russia it is the custom to at least ask the girl's name before you kiss her.::Jonathan Clark: Oh... Well, you see, in America we kiss first and ask later.

Jonathan Clark: We *shall* be married!::Countess Marina Selanova: After the hanging? Or before?

Eustace, Hotel Clerk: [indicating the Portugee] Er, this gentleman is with your party?::Jonathan Clark: This gentleman is no gentleman. He's a sea-going thief who makes his living stealing seals from the Russians. He neither bathes, shaves, nor knows the feel of good clean linen. When the moon is bright, he stays out all night and howls like a dog, then curls up and sleeps on the floor till midday. That right, Portugee?::Portugee: He knows me pretty good.

Portugee: Hey, you... you? How you like to sign on as first mate, huh?::Deacon Greathouse: Cast off, Portugee. For as vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is the sound of your voice to the ears of an honest man.

Jonathan Clark: Did it amuse you? Did it make you laugh to have a common American seaman ask you to marry him?

Paul Shushaldin: I advise you to find a crew within 48 hours. I'm not a man to be trifled with.::Portugee: Me, I don't trifle with men either.

[repeated line]::Ogeechuk: We go!
