Quotes 

  • Frank Mazzetti : [looking at the cargo of plutonium]  There's enough here to start a war!

    Captain Stefan Svevo : [appearing with his men behind a stack of crates]  Well that's a slight exaggeration. I'm sorry about this Captain. I had hoped that we would never meet again.

    Harold Meredith : Who is that? What's he want?

    Celeste Whitman : It's your basic guard variety terroist. I think he wants to kill us.

    Captain Stefan Svevo : Well however accurate the second part of your statement may be, please don't confuse me with some politically... impotent bomb thrower. The truth is I came aboard this ship with a purer motive than Captain Turner: to recover a piece of property which was *already* mine.

    Captain Mike Turner : You can take *whatever* you want from this ship. I'm welcome to it, but these people have come a long way, and all they want right now is get the hell out of here alive!

    Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : As one man says this to another...

    [Svevo's men point their guns at Tex] 

    Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : Now hold on just hear me out son.

    [They lower their rifles slightly] 

    Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : Tell you what, I'll, I'll write a check for the whole shabbang here. If you just lay down your little rifles, we'll all haul ass out of here together. What do you say?

    Captain Stefan Svevo : Take a look at that open crate behind me Captain. I sincerly doubt that your friend over there reimburse me for *that*.

    Captain Mike Turner : OK. Open it. Let's see.

    Captain Stefan Svevo : You open that barrel Captain and we all die. And I have every reasonable hope of wanting to watch the sunset tonight.

    Frank Mazzetti : [annoyed]  This crap you're dishing out here, you trying to tell us you've got some kind of doomsday machine in there or something?

    Captain Stefan Svevo : With the information commonly available today, any enterprising... science student could build a nuclear device.

    Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : Uranium?

    Captain Stefan Svevo : [proudly]  Plutonium. And as the American Govenment is painfully aware, this isn't the first shipment to go astray.

    Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : Ah, son? Now listen to me. If I was to tell you that I've got certain connections at the Peenee Gon...

    Captain Stefan Svevo : Then I would have to tell you that my connection are more powerful than yours. I never intended to harm anyone Captain. But as you must realize... I can't let you go now.

    [another explosion occurs] 

  • Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins : Frank, so help me, you keep runnin' off at the head, you ain't gettin' one dang sip of this wine.

    Frank Mazzetti : Hey, Tex, take that wine and shove it sideways!

  • Frank Mazzetti : I run a bar in Morristown, New Jersey. I know what goes on. This guy's got one thing on his mind! I've seen old guys in there with kids as young as my daughter.

    Larry Simpson : Well, then thank goodness I'm only 22 years old, right, Daddy?

    Frank Mazzetti : Listen, kid, if we get out of here alive, I'm gonna kill you!
