Alex Shaw Quotes in Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997)

Alex Shaw: Relationships based on extreme circumstances never work out.

Annie Porter: This night seems almost too perfect.

Alex Shaw: Want me to step on your feet?

Annie Porter: You already did.

Alex Shaw: Oh, I mean again?

Merced: We can not stop the ship!

Alex Shaw: Then we have to slow it down.

Merced: What are you gonna do, are you gonna let the air outta our tires?

Alex Shaw: [positively] We gotta spend some time together. We'll get to know each other. Let's go away together.

Annie Porter, Alex Shaw: [not convinced] OK, where?

Alex Shaw: [positively] Caribbean.

Annie Porter: [annoyed] Oh, the Caribbean, do you have a concussion? We work 6 days a week, Alex. We've never even been away for a weekend.

[Alex takes a plastic blue envelope out of his pocket and shows it to Annie]

Alex Shaw: I was gonna surprise you tonight, but uh...

[Annie opens the envelope, revealing tickets]

Alex Shaw: [looking at the tickets] It's a cruise.

Annie Porter: [annoyed] This is so unfair, Alex. You can't just pull out tickets to some... exotic island and think that's gonna make everything OK.

Alex Shaw: [Annie starts walking away and Alex follows her] I don't expect I can make everything all right. But, you know, if you thought we could...

[Alex puts his arm around Annie but she moves his arm off and turns around]

Annie Porter: [annoyed] No don't *do* that. I wanna be depressed right now. I don't want you to like, do that. Don't!

Alex Shaw: All right! All right!

[Alex tries to kiss Annie]

Annie Porter: [annoyed] Don't.

Alex Shaw: [positively] I won't.

[Alex kisses Annie and she puts her arms around him]

Alex Shaw: I gotta get my girl.

[repeated line]

Alex Shaw: I'll be right back.

Alex Shaw: [referring to the flooding of the ballast room] How much longer?

Merced: Look, I've never let a million gallons of water into a ship before. Gimme a second.

Alex Shaw: [after telling Merced to open the ballast doors] SHIT! CLOSE IT, CLOSE IT, CLOSE IT

Merced: YOU JUST TOLD ME TO OPEN THEM!

Alex Shaw: [armed with a gun near a computer in Geiger's room] It ends now. I know who you are.

John Geiger: [over a speaker] I know you too. You look a little wet. You see Alex, I designed this whole Auto Pilot system. My company sold it off to almost every shipping line in the world. But when I got sick, they fired me. I had no defence, they just... threw me away. But now, I have a more aggressive defence system.

[using his computer, Geiger arms an explosive behind the computer near Alex]

John Geiger: [crafty] Tell me Alex, did you ever have a full sense of security?

[the words "Good Bye Alex" appear on the computer screen and Alex quickly exits the room as Geiger laughs and detonates the explosive]

Annie Porter: His name's Geiger.

Alex Shaw: Oh.

Annie Porter: Yeah, yeah. We talked.

Alex Shaw: Doesn't seem very interested in Golf for someone who had a fit about his clubs though.

Annie Porter: Why do you say that?

Alex Shaw: Well, tournament's on right behind him - he hasn't even glanced at the TV.

Annie Porter: You're absolutely right. Honey, I think we need to go and arrest him.

[Annie starts to make her way towards the bar]

Annie Porter: [calling] Excuse me! Excuse...

Alex Shaw: [grabs Annie] Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.

Annie Porter: Oh honey, you just wanted a hug. I'll give you hug. You're so sweet. Baby I've gotta ask you to do me a favour. Something I've never asked you to do before.

Alex Shaw: What's that?

Annie Porter: I need you to believe me.

Alex Shaw: Oh no, no I don't...

Annie Porter: Oh yes. Yes. Just one of 'em please. One on please. Do you feel it? Do you feel it?

Alex Shaw: [unsure] I think so.

Annie Porter: [rocking tone] Come on baby.

[Alex and Annie dance across the deck and the Seabourn Legend sounds its horn as the camera pans out]
