1. When they came all the way to the waterfall at the end of the river, the adjutant's excitement said that the excitement that we were the first group to set foot on was in stark contrast to the dazedness of the others. A hysterical revelry, and a mockery, as if the achievement made little sense. (The same goes for the viewers)

3. The second time I returned to the Amazon, I didn’t bring any protective equipment. The last time I was shot by a barbarian with an arrow, I didn’t even bring a shield defense equipment this time. This kind of thing is too much. Bold and very irresponsible.

3. It is impossible to say that we are not worried, but we cannot let fear determine our future

    Nina Fawcett: By all accounts, I should be furious because you've just... You've just used my very own words against me. And how can I refute them? They are my own.

  • [last lines]

    Nina Fawcett: [handing him the timepiece] The Brazilian gave me this to give to you. He said Percy told him you would understand. I have trained myself to be impartial to evidence, but surely... surely this is a sign.

    Sir John Scott Keltie: Yes. I will have it examined.

    Nina Fawcett: Thank you. That is all I can ask.
