Corrigan : Would you mind telling me why we're traveling in circles?
3rd Officer Jim Hardy : In circles, sir?
Corrigan : Yeah. A little while ago the waves were coming from the front of the ship, now they're coming from the side.
3rd Officer Jim Hardy : Well, it's that kind of sea, sir. North Atlantic, you know.
Corrigan : A half hour ago the sun was on the port side, now it's on the starboard - is it that kind of sun?
3rd Officer Jim Hardy : They must be checking the steering gear - just routine.
Corrigan : Uh-huh. And about that explosion this morning?
3rd Officer Jim Hardy : Just blowing Number 2 Boiler, sir.
Corrigan : Buddy, I am by profession a politician: the mayor of a rather large city, as a matter of fact.
3rd Officer Jim Hardy : Yes, sir?
Corrigan : In my line of work you have to learn how to lie with remarkable precision. You also have to know how to recognize a lie when it bites you in the ass... and I have just been bitten.
3rd Officer Jim Hardy : I'll, uh, convey your complaint to the captain, sir.

Mrs. Corrigan : Will you tell me the truth, if I ask you a question?
Corrigan : Personal, business, or just plain silly?
Mrs. Corrigan : Personal.
[Corrigan nods in the affirmative]
Mrs. Corrigan : Have you ever been unfaithful to me?
Corrigan : You know if I chose to lie I could do so with remarkable dexterity? You know that don't you?
[she nods in assent]
Corrigan : Since we met... yes.
[he takes her hand]
Corrigan : Since we have been married, no... and if we are going to die... I rejoice in the fact that we're going to die together.
