Michael Caine: Captain Nemo

Quotes 

• Pierre Arronax : [Nemo is performing cpr on the native girl]  May be too late, captain. The girl may be dead.

  Captain Nemo : She will not be dead.

• Pierre Arronax : Captain, the method you used to revive her, I've never seen anyone prevent a drowning in such a manner.

  Captain Nemo : What aboard my ship have you seen before?

• Captain Nemo : The sea covers seven tenths of the Earth. Its breadth is pure, and wholesome. It is an immense world, pulsating with every form of life. Here there are no despots. On the surface, men still exercise their endless laws, fight and indulge in all their bloody earthly horrors, but below the surface their power ceases... their dominion vanishes. To live, gentlemen, in the embrace of the sea... only here is there independence... here, I recognize no master... here, I am free.

• Ned Land : [suspicious that the dinner laid out before them is poisoned]  I'd feel safer if I saw you eating some of it first.

  Captain Nemo : I promise you... that if I wanted to kill you, I would resort to more direct means. I do not kill when I do not have to.
