Quotes 

• Thor Heyerdahl : [Meeting all in the bay]  This is Herman Watzinger, my second in command. For the simple reason that without him no one could have been first in command. Herman these are my two fantastic radio operators: Torstein. War Hero, nerves of asbestos. As far as we know, he has only two weaknesses: whiskey and women - Knut Haugland, also a war hero, and I know Knut hates me for saying it, but I must be allowed to call him a legend. That is what you are, Knut - Erik Hesselberg...

  Erik Hesselberg : [ironic]  No legend.

  Thor Heyerdahl : ...but you have saved my life. Erik and I grew up together in Larvik. Erik has one unique skill that we are going to appreciate. Erik has been at sea before. I'm sure you have some questions...

  Erik Hesselberg : [Walking toward Thor]  Maybe I should introduce you first. This is Thor. A pompous, self-centered weirdo, but a very good leader. And because he is, we are about to do what Tiki did 1500 years ago. We are going to...

  Thor Heyerdahl : We will build a raft.

  Erik Hesselberg : And...

  Thor Heyerdahl : [laughling]  And drift into the sunset.

  Torstein Raaby : [curious]  Where is the raft?

  Thor Heyerdahl : [ironic]  You're sitting on it.

• Torstein Raaby : [all six lying on the raft, looking the starry night sky]  It's as if we're the only people left in the universe.

  Bengt Danielsson : Maybe we are. Maybe they've dropped bombs on eachother. And every city is like Hiroshima.

  Erik Hesselberg : [suspicious]  I doubt we would have had radio contact Bengt.

  Thor Heyerdahl : Maybe we've just been accepted. By nature. That we've become like a seagull or a fish.

• Thor Heyerdahl : [almost finishing their travel]  We have traveled over 8000 kilometers, boys... but the fact is that the greatest danger is still ahead.

  Herman Watzinger : [sarcastic]  People?

  Thor Heyerdahl : No: the Raroia Reef. It lies like a wall around the entire island, with sharp coral.

  Torstein Raaby : [worried]  Why didn't you tell us?

  Thor Heyerdahl : [looking Raaby]  It was impossible to know exactly where we would end up.

• Torstein Raaby : And only a hundred days to go.

• Torstein Raaby : [Seeing that Bengt is throwing a dusts in the water]  Why are feeding the sharks our tomato soup?

  Bengt Danielsson : It's shark repellent from the Americans.

  Torstein Raaby : [ironic]  No, it's tomato soup.

  Bengt Danielsson : [confused after to relish the dusts with a finger]  Where's the shark repellent?

  Torstein Raaby : [funny]  Well, apparently we ate that.
