- Felix: Passenger Unger volunteers to be activities director.
Oscar: Felix, what're you doing?
Felix: These people are in their golden years. They deserve the best.
Oscar: And you're going to lend a little tarnish to their lives! edit » - Felix: I thought this cruise would be good for your condition. The lifestyle of senior citizens is a nice, easy pace.
Oscar: What pace??? Nobody moves! edit » - Felix: Maybe I owe you an apology.
Oscar: You bet you do! For 30 years, I've wanted to take a swinging cruise, and then you book me on a boat where everybody calls me "sonny"! edit » - Felix: What are you doing?
Oscar: I'm leaving!
Felix: We just left New York.
Oscar: Well, I'm getting off at the first stop.
Felix: The first stop is New York.
Oscar: You mean this boat doesn't stop?
Felix: Once around the Atlantic.
Oscar: Then I'll hijack the ship, I'll demand a million dollars and an inner tube! edit » - Oscar: You know, if we'd gone to Vegas, I would have gotten sick.
Felix: You can bet on that. (laughs) You see? I'm just as funny on sea as I am on land. edit »
- Oscar off-handedly calls activities director Felix "Captain Queeg," after the incompetent, eccentric and possibly mentally ill commanding officer in the novel and motion picture, The Caine Mutiny, whose officers eventually mutinied. edit »
