- Rosenthal: I think we should shut it down.
Dr. Wolenczak: This is a hundred thousand dollar project, Mr. Rosenthal. We don’t shut it down, we fix it. edit » - Bridger (to crew): I hope all of your time aboard seaQuest has been productive and insightful. Thirteen months – we’ve logged over 100,000 sea miles, participated in 17 rescue operations, completed 3 years of underwater research. Congratulations. I just hope your memories of this tour are as warm as mine. As many of you know, this boat has been a dream of mine. I’d like to thank all of you for making this dream come true. Some of us are going on to the next tour, others are moving to newer opportunities. But I’d like to wish all of you great success. Thank you, and good luck. edit »

Krieg: How did he know what it was?
O’Neill: ‘Cause it was your idea, Ben.
