Quotes 

• Erica Neuler : [Amtaga has just told something rather amusing to Rick]  What did he say, Rick?

  Rick Cobb : It's a Watusi proverb. "Two virgins and one man is only good. But two men and one could destroy all three."

  Erica Neuler : He's very wise.

• Rick Cobb : Look, Erica. I'm pretty beat up, and I haven't got too much hair, and I'm not too young anymore. What I mean to say is, well, I'd like you to marry me.

  Erica Neuler : It's difficult to think with so much danger around.

  Rick Cobb : Not for me it isn't! Oh, well. I'd have made a lousy husband, anyway.

• Rick Cobb : Look, Erica, perhaps by tomorrow, we'll have the diamonds.

  Erica Neuler : Is it so important to you?

  Rick Cobb : Yes and... no. Look, Erica, I'm pretty beat up, and I'm not as young as I used to be. Without the diamonds I'd have to earn my keep as a hunter. If we get the diamonds, why, you'd be wealthy, too. I thought that...

  Erica Neuler : You're not "beat up," Rick. You're a wonderful man! You have been so kind to me. You both have.

  Rick Cobb : Well, what I meant was, um... will you marry me?

  Erica Neuler : Even if we get the diamonds we have a long way back. It's so difficult to think clearly with so much danger around.

  Rick Cobb : Not for me it isn't.

  Erica Neuler : You and Harry... sometimes I don't know what I see.

  Rick Cobb : What do you mean by that, Erica?

  Erica Neuler : All my life I've been told what to do. It was so easy then. Now... I don't know how to make a decision.
