Being trained to handle anything under pressure, not that she knew that, he seemed calm. He had to, this was life or death emergency and training took over as he held tightly onto her hand. The fact he hadn't known her long didn't even cross his mind, All it was was him trying to get the both of them to safety. Well, and anyone else he could if that was possible. She at least wasn't arguing with him and that was something he was appreciative of but he wouldn't think she would want to argue in a situation like this. Though even in his focus of working on their safety and their survival, it doesn't get by him that she is trying to quote a movie. He gives her a look as he helps her on to the lifeboat before looking over and seeing no one else trying to get on. It seemed they were all trying to focus on standing up straight as the ship started to move and he couldn't help but be tossed into the lifeboat himself.

What he hadn't expected, however, was for her to start moving to their moorings. And it's then he thinks he may have hit his head, that he was dreaming or seeing things but the frigid air was telling him that wasn't the case. He was wide awake and witnessing her claws cut the rope with glowing icy blue eyes. Before he can even say anything, they then begin to plummet, slamming into the water below and making his back hit the bottom of the boat. Losing the air in his chest he needed a moment he knew they wouldn't have, trying to gather himself as quickly as he could. "This is far too familiar." He mumbles, moving over to the engine and starting it to get them as far away as possible. Directing the boat out of the ship's shadow so they could at least be safe and maybe ride the waves caused by it somewhere safe. And as he cuts the engine, so it wouldn't flood, he turns to the see the ship begin to slip beneath the waves and sending the ripple effect out towards them. It pushes them further away and out in to the ocean.

hasn't it occurred to you that i'm having a tough time keeping my hands off you?

any minute now we could be assassinated.

do you know what's wrong with you?

you're blocking my view.

what do i have to do to satisfy you?

who put that there?

why do people have to tell lies?

how would you like a punch in the nose?

of course you won't be able to lie on your back for a while, but then you can lie from any position, can't you?

do we know each other?

i don't know. how would i know?

i already know an awful lot of people, and until one of them dies i couldn't possibly meet anyone else.

shakespeare never said that.

it's terrible. you just made it up.

what do you expect me to say?

it's a toss up.

oh, you should see your face.

what's the matter now?

i'm not hungry anymore.

quit stalling. i want some identification. now!

you can't prove it to me, can you?

don't change the subject.

i love you adam, alex, peter, brian, whatever your name is.

where were you at 3:30am?

obviously you're telling the truth, for why would you invent such a ridiculous story?

the man and woman are married.

i can see that.

here it comes, the fatherly talk.

that's your trouble. you're too old for me.

this is a ludicrous situation.

i can think of a dozen men who are just longing to use my shower.

what are you doing in here?

i'm having a nervous breakdown!

do you realize you've had three names in the past two days?

i don't even know who i'm talking to anymore!

we didn't steal it!

when did they pass such a silly law?

you know i'd tell you if i had it.

how do you shave in there?

what is it, some new american fad?

you're the kind of girl who'd have something like that.

would you like to see my passport?

wow, when you come on, you come on, don't you?

oh, that wasn't a proposal.

how are you doing?

don't tell me. you didn't know it was loaded.

i can't stand these things.

now we wait. with our mouths shut.

have you any idea what these things cost over here?

[name], i think i love you.

do you understand french?

why don't you shut up?

if you're trying to frighten me, you're doing a first rate job.

come on, eat your dinner.

will you put that thing away?

i've got something here.

you didn't have to chase me so hard.
