Quotes
-
Commander Jack Lucas : Look, I'm sorry, we have to call the search off.
Dr. Dianne Bates : But this is a ten-year-old boy we're talking about. You can't just abandon him.
Commander Jack Lucas : Doctor, it's dark outside. On top of that, there's a tropical storm about to hit this area like an express train.
Dr. Dianne Bates : That's all the more reason to keep searching.
Commander Jack Lucas : I will not risk other lives in these conditions.
Dr. Dianne Bates : Fine. Then I'll take a boat and go and look for him myself.
Commander Jack Lucas : You do that and I'll throw you in the brig for your own protection. Look, I promise when it's safe, we'll widen the search. But, for all we know, the boy may have been found or been picked up somewhere.
Dr. Dianne Bates : I wonder, I wonder what you would do if that were your own child out there.
Commander Jack Lucas : I would do exactly the same thing, Doctor, because I have no choice.
Dr. Dianne Bates : Yep. I believe you would.
