- [Condor Airlines 747 experiences some turbulence while at 30,000 feet in the air. As a female passenger is advised by a flight attendant to put her seatback up, her fiancé is jolted by the sudden change in turbulence and he gets up]
- Nervous Air Passenger: Whoa!
- Flight Attendent: Please sit down, sir. It's just an air pocket. Thank you.
- Nervous Air Passenger: We're getting married in two days.
- Flight Attendent: You'll be fine.
- Airline Captain: [On the intercom] All right, folks, please fasten your seat belts.
- [as the 747 flies through the clouds, the male passenger suddenly looks out the window]
- Nervous Air Passenger: Holy shit!
- [the Megalodon jumps up from the sea to catch the 747]
- Lamar Sanders: Those guys have been frozen in ice for millions of years. Wouldn't you be a little horny?
- Allan Baxter: This is unacceptable. I want that commander on report.
- US Sub Captain: That commander just saved your ass.
- Allan Baxter: Should have done so in a more timely manner.
- Seiji Shimada: How are you holding up under pressure?
- Emma MacNeil: It's not easy being brilliant under armed guard
- Seiji Shimada: From what I know you're no stranger to pressure. Joyriding in an experimental sub in an ice floe seems kind of tense.
- Emma MacNeil: Yeah well, I was always drawn to the water. Always felt like a part of it.
- Seiji Shimada: Me too.
- Emma MacNeil: It didn't matter how rough or stormy or how big the waves were, they never scared me.
- Seiji Shimada: Me too. My family were all fisherman, lived on the water, lived
- [meaningful pause]
- Seiji Shimada: *because* of the water. They all wanted me to follow in their footsteps.
- Emma MacNeil: Why didn't you?
- Seiji Shimada: Too much death. I saw a dolphin caught in the net when I was a kid I couldn't free it. The panic in it's eyes. The helplessness. That was it.
- Emma MacNeil: I never got past putting the worm on the hook.
- [Seiji laughs and then they kiss]
- Emma MacNeil: I'm going to go take a walk.
- [look of confusion on Seiji's face]
- Emma MacNeil: You know a-a *walk*
- [Emma walks out]
- Emma MacNeil: .
- [Seiji - slow look of realisation and follows her]
- Dick Ritchie: Emma, wait.
- Emma MacNeil: You're not my boss anymore, Dick. Thanks for sticking up for me back there!
- Dick Ritchie: Emma, you're a good surveyist. You just need a little displine, that's all.
- Emma MacNeil: You fired me just to make me an example in order to keep the rest of your employees from speaking out against you. Now, stay the hell away from me and let me try to rebuild my life that you just ruined.
- Dick Ritchie: Before you walk away, do you want some advice?
- Emma MacNeil: Nope.
- Dick Ritchie: [as Emma walks away] Don't love the ocean too much. It doesn't love you back.
- US Destroyer Captain: Give the president my personal assurance when we find the beast, we're sending him to hell.
- Allan Baxter: Now if we don't find the bible means of stopping this fucker, Sharkzilla is gonna own the seas.
- Allan Baxter: [to Emma] And you little lady, you've got a lot of mouth from someone who's career is all washed up. Sleeping on your old prof's couch. What's next, a little extra credit?
- Lamar Sanders: Hey!
- Allan Baxter: Cool it, hombre. You should be smiling. This country actually gives a shit about what you have to say.
- Lamar Sanders: 20 years ago, my ideas were treated with disdain and discharge. Why should you give a shit now?
- Allan Baxter: Well, truth be told, you losers beat everyone to the punch. You said shark when everyone around here was talking seismic suction or some shit.
- Destroyer Sonar Man: Target's disappeared, sir.
- US Destroyer Captain: You mean destroyed,. Target destroyed.
- Destroyer Sonar Man: No sir, I'm not getting anything at all. There's usually a residua...
- US Destroyer Captain: Radio Washington. Target destroyed.
- Destroyer Sonar Man: But, sir...
- US Destroyer Captain: It rises.
- Emma MacNeil: Oh, my God. I thought I imagined that.
- Seiji Shimada: Definitely a shark. Megalodon. And his friend here.
- Lamar Sanders: Same as the drawing.
- Seiji Shimada: I suspected...
- Emma MacNeil: What, a giant squid?
- Seiji Shimada, Lamar Sanders: Octopus.
