Dante's Peak quotes

  • Rachel: You ever been married?

    Harry Dalton: No, never.

    Rachel: Why not?

    Harry Dalton: Well for one thing, I move around a lot. Mexico, South America, The Philippines, New Guinea, wherever there's a volcano with an attitude.

    Rachel: You ever come close?

    Harry Dalton: Yes. Once.

    Rachel: Touchy subject.

    Harry Dalton: Her name was Marianne, we worked together. She loved volcanoes, fascinated by them. Four years ago in Colombia, a volcano erupted. We thought we had enough time to get out. Unfortunately, we were wrong. We got too close to the show. Marianne was killed.

  • Harry Dalton: [after pulling the boat motor propeller up and discovering the acid ate the blades] Oh shit. Oh shit. We lost the prop.
