Kit Latura: I hope you make it, Roy.

Roy Nord: I always make it.

George Tyrell: [seeing Roy taking out his bungee equipment] What are you crazy? I have checked all over this place there's no way out.

Roy Nord: Hey. I was born 6 months premature. My own mother could'nt keep me in.

Kit Latura: Okay, we're high and dry and out of danger. Now, what we don't need is more surprises. Right?

Steven Crighton: Okay, we're high and dry. Now what?

Kit Latura: Now, I may have a way where I can take down a part of that tube, that will seal us off from the fire and plug up that leak.

Steven Crighton: How do you plan on doing that?

Kit Latura: I gonna have to use an explosive.

[the people sigh in disbelief]

Kit Latura: No, wait, wait a second. Let me explain.

Steven Crighton: An explosive? That's your idea down here? No wonder you got people killed.

Kit Latura: Hey. If anybody's got a better idea, now is the time to say it.

Steven Crighton: You really do not know how much damage this tunnel has sustained. So, how do you know that you can contain it to one section?

Kit Latura: Okay, Ashley. I may find a way to stop this leak. So, it will keep us from drowning, that's the good news.

Sarah Crighton: Okay, what's the bad news?

Kit Latura: This water is 38 degrees. So, the only thing we have to worry about is Hypothermia.

LaTonya: Hypo-what?

Sarah Crighton: Hypothermia. It's when your body loses heat and shuts down. When your body is getting tired, really, you're getting dead. Does that sound fair enough?

Chief Dennis Wilson: What about hydraulics? We brace up as we go...

George Tyrell: [on a TV monitor holding up a bracelet] I found this under my bed.

Grace Calloway: Could you be a little less discreet?

Grace Calloway: There are 4 of those. I will shut them down for 2 and a half minutes.

Kit Latura: Each?

Grace Calloway: Total. They revved all the way up to compensate for the damaged exhaust shaft. When we shut them down, it will severely cut their oxygen. When the level gets too low, the computer automatically kicks the fans back on. There's no override, and there's no second shut-down. That's a safety feature.

Grace Calloway: Norman, what's the combined force of all the fans?

Norman Bassett: About 160 miles an hour.
