[two of Zatib's gunboats have just intercepted the NUMA team]

Dirk Pitt : [after they come across a wrecked plane in the middle of the Sahara] I'll bet you a hundred there's a tool kit in there.
Al Giordino : [looking at the tattered remnants of the plane] I don't wanna rain on your crazy parade, buddy, but I don't think we can fix this thing.

[Al, Dirk and Rudi are being chased in the Admiral's boat]
Al Giordino : What do you think, Dirk?
Dirk Pitt : Uh... I think we need to pull a Panama!
Al Giordino : A Panama... a *Panama*?
Admiral James Sandecker : [on the phone] A Panama? No! No Panama!

Al Giordino : Hey, you ever been after marlins, doctor?
Dirk Pitt : Oh, no, not the marlin story again, Al.
Al Giordino : Seven hundred and thirty-three pounds. Five and a half hours in the fighting chair.
Dirk Pitt : I thought it was 600 pounds.
Al Giordino : Hey! What did you catch that day? I can't remember anything at all.
-
Al Giordino : Hey, you know how it is when you see someone that you haven't seen since high school, and they got some dead-end job, and they're married to some woman that hates them, they got, like, three kids who think he's a joke? Wasn't there some point where he stood back and said, "Bob, don't take that job! Bob, don't marry that harpy!" You know?
Dirk Pitt : Your point?
Al Giordino : Well, we're in the desert, looking for the source of a river pollutant, using as our map a cave drawing of a Civil War gunship, which is also in the desert. So I was just wondering when we're gonna have to sit down and re-evaluate our decision-making paradigm?
Dirk Pitt : [coming up on the fortress seen in the cave painting] I don't know - it seems to be working so far.
-
Dirk Pitt : [Dirk and Al are chained to each other and the bed of a pickup truck. They detach the bed and push it off the frame of the truck] Well, that's a new one.
Al Giordino : [Looking at the still attached chains] Yeah. We're home free now.
-
Dirk Pitt : We need to find that bomb.
Al Giordino : No. I'll find the bomb. You get the girl.
Dirk Pitt : ...Deal!
-
Dirk Pitt : I'll meet you at the boat.
[Slaps Al in the arm then leaves the bar]
Al Giordino : [acts like Dirk is still there] Ow. No, I got the check. Don't worry about it. I'm serious. I know, I get it all the time. Sit down, I'll get the check. L'addition.
-
Al Giordino : Man, the Admiral's gonna be mad when he hears you lost his satellite phone.
Dirk Pitt : Not as mad as when Rudi tells him it was attached to the boat.
-
Dirk Pitt : [while digging to find a way into the CSS Texas] How's it looking, Al?
Al Giordino : You're good!
Al Giordino : [Helicopter appears from behind sand dunes] DIG FASTER!
-
Dirk Pitt : [after he and Al crashed down the sand dunes on the truck bed and find the skeleton] No way!
Al Giordino : Why "no way"?
Dirk Pitt : [clearing the sand from the jacket] Kitty Mannock. She flew from London to Cape Town in 1931. They never found her or her plane. This must be where she crash.
Al Giordino : [pointing off to the wreckage] Nope. "That's" where she crashed.
-
Al Giordino : Hey Dirk! Where are we headed?
Dirk Pitt : Hell if I know... but we're making great time!
-
Al Giordino : [points at Dirks coin clue] Hey, you know my dad collected ancient coins, from Rome, China, Siam, Persia... somehow they all ended up in a shoe box in New Jersey.
Dirk Pitt : Meaning?
Al Giordino : Coins travel, Dirk. I mean, even if that poor guy was still alive, it could have been nothing.
Dirk Pitt : Yeah, but the coin traveled from somewhere Al. Unless it hitched a ride on the back of a dolphin, I'm gonna guess it's jumping off point was a little closer to where we're sitting.
-
Al Giordino : [after going outside and being shot at] Next time, *you* go!
Dirk Pitt : What the hell took you so long?
Al Giordino : What? I stopped for coffee.
Dirk Pitt : Get a receipt?
Al Giordino : Yeah, I got a receipt, and I got you one, too!
Dirk Pitt : You're the best, Al!
Al Giordino : You know what? I'll even get you the money from Sandecker!
-
Dirk Pitt : We could use some serious muscle out here.
Admiral James Sandecker : Well, you're not gonna get it. I'm getting the D.C. two-step, big time!
-
Admiral James Sandecker : I can't ask you boys to do this alone.
Dirk Pitt : That's the great part about it, sir. You know you never have to.
-
Al Giordino : Ah, how do you put this thing on, anyway?
Dirk Pitt : What? Just wrap it around your noggin.
Al Giordino : Which part, this?
[Holds up end of turban fabric]
Al Giordino : .
Dirk Pitt : Yeah.
Al Giordino : [Pulls the fabric from his head] well, how come yours stays on?
Dirk Pitt : Maybe you have a small head.
Al Giordino : I don't think so. Someone would have told me.
-
Dirk Pitt : What do you do if you're about to be exposed as the biggest polluter in modern history?
Al Giordino : I don't know, run for president?
-
Dirk Pitt : [to Eva] You, me, and the bay at Monterey

Al Giordino : Hey, I cant remember how this works... something about a fox and a rabbit... its really bugging me

Dirk Pitt : Hey, Al. Do remember that time when we were in Morocco?
Al Giordino : Ya, when you made me ride that damn camel, that bit my ass.
Dirk Pitt : Yeah, that's the time.
Al Giordino : [pauses, confused] Why?
-
Dirk Pitt , Al Giordino : [at the same time] There's no way that should've worked!

Dirk Pitt : He is going to blow it up.
Al Giordino : That isn't very subtle.

Dirk Pitt : Well, that's a damn good question, sir...

Dirk Pitt : [to Eva as Al, Dirk and Eva are being pursued in Kazim's car] I hope you don't throw like a girl!
-
Yves Massarde : [to Dirk as he's trying to stop Massarde while holding a gun to Ava's head before the helicopter is about to take off] I apologize, Mr. Pitt. This is not what it appears.
Dirk Pitt : [dropping weapon and holding his hands up] Did I miss something? I've seen your toxic dump. I've seen sick Tuareg women and children and I saw the dead in Asselar. Did I leave something out?
