Quotes 

• Mark Brittain : She's so deep in my gut, we breathe together.

• Mark Brittain : Do you always look this good in the morning?

  Rosa Lucchesi : You will have time to compare; there will be thousands of mornings.

• Mark Brittain : I can think of *a hundred* better ways to die!

• [Mark Brittain is getting ready for a deep-sea dive] 

  Linc Langley : [setting up the equipment]  Any instructions?

  Mark Brittain : Keep me alive?

  Linc Langley : [smiles]  *You bet!*

• Vic Rossiter : Trench also said that you're a good diver - and for a price you'd put on a suit.

  Mark Brittain : For a good price I'd put on a suit. But, not one of Trench's suits. That'd take more money than you've got and more of a death wish than I've got.

• Mark Brittain : You're not dedicated professionals. You're a brotherhood of happy, street-swingin' thinkers.

• Mark Brittain : You've got a crap shooters instinct. Why don't you go to Vegas? You'd be better off.

• Mark Brittain : Imagine her drinking red wine with a 50 cent sharpie like him.

  Linc Langley : That's a beautiful woman. She walks well.

  Mark Brittain : You're quite right. She walks well.

• Mark Brittain : Mr. Langley and I are very busy. We charter a small but dependable fishing boat to people who like to go to sea and catch bass and not pieces of eight, which they can't.

• Mark Brittain : Tell me something, Miss Lucchesi, is this a mid-week seduction or the opening gambit of a con job?

• Rosa Lucchesi : I wouldn't steal from those who couldn't afford to lose.

  Mark Brittain : How do you like this? A blonde Italian Robin Hood.

• Mark Brittain : I got a better idea. We put you in a bikini and strap you to the wings of a 707, and we fly you over Fort Knox. While all the people on the ground are looking at you, we sneak in the back door and steal the gold.

• Rosa Lucchesi : Ever been a masseur?

  Mark Brittain : No, but I could kick myself.

• Mark Brittain : Where'd you learn to swim so good, diving for coins in the Bay of Naples?

  Rosa Lucchesi : I do everything with perfection, Mr. Brittain: swimming, dancing, fundraising, almost everything. And you?

  Mark Brittain : I play a little gin. I catch a little fish. If I catch a lot of fish, I get splendidly stoned. It's a living.

• Rosa Lucchesi : Make allowances, Mark. He had a hard beginning: the slums until 14 years old, then a reformatory. That would explain his angers, wouldn't it?

  Mark Brittain : I'll try to set aside an hour a day to extend my sympathy. How many hours a day will you devote? How many hours at night?

  Rosa Lucchesi : I don't like that, Mark. There was a time when Victor Rossiter appealed to me - when he filled a need. I make no excuses, Mark.

  Mark Brittain : I didn't ask for any.

• Mark Brittain : Drink up, Lincoln. You got your problems and I got mine.

• Rosa Lucchesi : It's not more wrong now than before. I didn't hear you say no.

  Mark Brittain : That's because maybe you weren't listening. Come to think of it, I wasn't talking.

  Rosa Lucchesi : What held you?

  Mark Brittain : What held me? A blue-eyed, long legged Italian with hooks. That's what held me.

• Mark Brittain : Rosa, you know what to do with the ballast tanks?

  Rosa Lucchesi : Yes, I do.
