I was happy to find out that when on tour, Dolly Parton doesn't use hotels but stays on her bus every night, to the point of having her buses shipped from Austria to Australia so she can tour the way she sees fit. I used one of her buses once - an ho...
At one point, so many people had assembled on the bridge that linked the ship to the shore that the timbers began to creak and groan. Suddenly, there was a tremendous crack and a hundred or more people were plunged into the muddy river. Wiser heads m...
I love everything that makes up a milieu, the rolling of the carriages and the noise of the workmen in Paris, the cries of a thousand birds in the country, the movement of the ships on the waters. I love also absolute, profound silence, and, in short...
In the 19th Century people were looking for the Northwest Passage. Ships were lost and brave people were killed, but that doesn't mean we never went back to that part of the world again, and I consider it the same in space exploration.
It does seem really hard to get consumers to do the right thing. It is stupid that we use two tons of steel, glass, and plastic to haul our sorry selves to the shopping mall. It's stupid that we put water in plastic bottles in Fiji and ship it here.
My father was a sea captain, so was his father, and his father before him, and all my uncles. My mother's people all followed the sea. I suppose that if I had been born a few years earlier, I would have had my own ship.
Khan: Surely, I have made my meaning plain. I mean to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I deprived your ship of power, and when I swing around, I mean to deprive you of your life.
Muse: Last year I took a Greek ship. 6 million dollars. Captain Richard Phillips: 6 million dollars? So what are you doing here? Muse: Shut up, Irish. Too much talking. Captain Richard Phillips: The problem is not me talking. The problem is you not l...
[Johann climbs up to the bridge, places himself between Kriechbaum and Lt. Werner. Sniffs the air] Lt. Werner: It's good for you, fresh air, right Johann? Johann: [Spits] Nah. [Johann climbs back down in the ship] Kriechbaum: They're strange, these e...
Elrond: You ride to war, but not to victory. Sauron's armies march on Minas Tirith, this you know. But in secret he sends another force which will attack from the river. A fleet of Corsairs ships sails from the south. They reach the city in two days.
Elrond: Our time here is ending, Arwen's time is ending. Let her go... let her take the ship into the West. Let her bear her love for you to the Undying Lands, there it will be ever green... Aragorn: ...but never more than a memory.
Jack Sparrow: You know, for having such a bleak outlook on pirates you are well on your way to becoming one: sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga, and you're completely obsessed with tr...
Darth Vader: Yes, Admiral, what is it? Admiral Piett: The Emperor commands you make contact with him. Darth Vader: Move the ship out of the asteroid field so that we can send a clear transmission.
Spock: [after Vengeance crashes] Scan the enemy ship for any signs of life Sulu: [confused] Sir... there's no way anyone could've survived that Spock: [swings round with a snarl] HE COULD! Sulu: [as Khan leaps from the wreckage] Whoa... he just jumpe...
Captain Robau: If I don't report in 15 minutes, evacuate the crew. George Kirk: Sir, we could issue... Captain Robau: There is no help for us out here. Use autopilot... and get off this ship. George Kirk: Aye, Captain. Captain Robau: You're captain n...
Joe Turner: Just look around. They've got it. That's where they ship from. They've got all of it. Higgins: What? What did you do? Joe Turner: I told them a story. You play games, I told them a story.
Father Byles: [Near tears himself as he desperately clings to to the ship with one hand, while still holding onto the hands of the praying passengers with his other hand] And God will wipe away the tears from their eyes; and there will no longer be a...
Rorschach: The engines! Dan Dreiberg: They're icing up. Hold on to something! Rorschach: Daniel, you're coming in too low. Don't wish to interfere with running of ship, but perhaps should pull up sharply before... Dan Dreiberg: Yeah, I know, I'm tryi...
[on Dave's return to the ship, after HAL has killed the rest of the crew] HAL: Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.
Ripley: Did you ever ship out with Ash before? Dallas: I went out five times with another science officer. They replaced him two days before we left Thedus with Ash. Hmm? Ripley: I don't trust him. Dallas: Well, I don't trust anybody.
Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar. Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back? Ted Striker: I can't tell you...
