- Roy Bennett: A man doesn't love you the way he loves anyone else. He lives for you. But, perhaps he dies for you, too. But, the point is, I'm wonder whether I should die alone? Maybe I should take you with me. Maybe I should do the next man who might fall in love with you a big favor. Yes, a big favor!
- David Ritchie: What are you drinking?
- Vicki Moore: Gin.
- David Ritchie: Two gins.
- Waiter at Crow's Nest: Two gins.
- David Ritchie: How 'bout some food?
- Vicki Moore: No. Food makes me sick.
- David Ritchie: What does the gin do?
- Vicki Moore: Makes me sit here and want more gin.
- Sir Stanley Moore: He just stopped by on his way to Singapore to the States with some new ideas about rubber that he's working on.
- Crow's Nest Manager: Seems like every time you come in here, something bad happens.
- Vicki Moore: Couldn't be the rotten place you run, could it?
- Crow's Nest Manager: This place plenty good for people that come to it.
- Vicki Moore: Sure. A hole for rats!
- Tough Seaman in Crow's Nest: Have a little drink, Cookie?
- Vicki Moore: Gin.
- Tough Seaman in Crow's Nest: [to the waiter] Hey, puss face, two gins.
- David Ritchie: It's restful here, isn't it. Peace and quiet. It's good for the nerves.
- Vicki Moore: Peace and quiet. That's what you get after you're dead, isn't it?
- David Ritchie: Pretty picture, isn't it. The only feeling you could arouse in a man is pity.
- Vicki Moore: Pity? You pity me? You with your smug cautious little soul. What do people like you know about me? I've lived more in a day than you'll ever dare to live. You pity me. That's very funny. Because I've never had any use for men like you.
- Vicki Moore: So, you know who I am.
- David Ritchie: I told you last night.
- Vicki Moore: I never remember last nights.
- Vicki Moore: So, you're Mr. Ritchie.
- David Ritchie: My friends call me David.
- Vicki Moore: Well, I'm not your friend.
- Vicki Moore: I don't like being babied! All I want to do is to get back to Singapore - and right now!
- Vicki Moore: Up and up and up and higher and higher right to the final crash. I don't suppose you know what I'm talking about.
- David Ritchie: Yes, I think I do. But you haven't been going up and up. You've been going down and down.
- Claire Weston: Are you surprised?
- David Ritchie: Oh, you could knock me over with a...
- Claire Weston: Oh, if you say feather, I'll scream.
- Jim North: They need that rubber in the States.
- David Ritchie: And I'm just the little fella to give it to them.
- Jim North: I'm glad to see you. What are you doing out in town in a noonday sun?
- David Ritchie: Oh, chasing mad dogs and Englishmen.
- David Ritchie: I forgot to tell you, I won't be home for dinner.
- Suwa: Oh? Then I give it to monkeys outside.
- Vicki Moore: Don't you think we better wait until after the rain stops? And get some dry clothes on? After all, you're no duck.
- Vicki Moore: When you took me in your arms, I almost laughed in your face. Only *I* was afraid to hurt *you*. Oh, sure, I know all about the rain and being alone in the dark. You fell for it like a schoolboy. Don't worry, I'm not going to spoil your life for you - or your safe little career.
- David Ritchie: I've got to tell you something.
- Vicki Moore: What?
- David Ritchie: Well, last night, when I held you in my arms and said all those things to you...
- Vicki Moore: They were beautiful things.
- David Ritchie: I didn't mean them.
- Vicki Moore: Well, they were, whether you meant them or not.
- Jim North: He's had a lot on his mind.
- Claire Weston: What? Certainly not me.
- Jim North: Why don't you ask him?
- Claire Weston: Oh, I see. You men and your code.
- Claire Weston: See here, I didn't come across half the world to beg a man to decide between me and - something like you.
- Alice North: What's the matter, Vicki? You've changed. You never wanted to slow down before for anything. It was always: excitement and speed. Speed, like this.
