Dr. Doug Standish Quotes in Around the World Under the Sea (1966)

Jack Smith, mining platform superintendant: Anything the matter?

Dr. Doug Standish: What? Oh, no. I... could've sworn I'd seen those legs somewhere before.

Dr. Doug Standish: Our mission is to plant warning sensors...

Dr. Philip Volker: I know that. We take care of *my* mission when we've completed yours.

Dr. Doug Standish: Well, I can't commit the rest of the crew!

Dr. Philip Volker: Well don't worry, I'll, I'll - how you say? - cut them in.

Dr. Doug Standish: Well what makes you think they'll go along with you?

Dr. Philip Volker: Well haven't you heard? It's better to be a rich scientist than a poor one.

Dr. Doug Standish: Looks like Hell itself.

Dr. Craig Mosby: Uh, Mr. Vice President... If we plant these sensors, around the world under the sea, in pressure points along here, and through here, and *anchor* them in the crust of the earth, we'll have the early warning system we need.

Vice President: Well this means a great deal of risk, doesn't it?

Dr. August 'Gus' Boren: We know less about the deep oceans than we do the surface of the moon.

Vice President: And you're willing to take on this risk?

Dr. Doug Standish: Well, that's why we're here.

Vice President: Well gentleman, I'd like you to proceed on the assumption that I can get the necessary appropriation for the voyage of the Hydronaut.

Dr. Craig Mosby: Great!

Dr. Doug Standish: Man your stations.

Dr. Margaret E. 'Maggie' Hanford: I thought we were a civilian boat.

Dr. Doug Standish: Man your stations, *please*.

Dr. Doug Standish: Yeah, he's done some very impressive research in marine biology. M.E. Hanford from England. Well I'm sure you've read for some of his published material in the last couple of years.

Dr. August 'Gus' Boren: *Her* material.

Dr. Doug Standish: What?

Dr. August 'Gus' Boren: The "M.E." stands for "Margaret Elizabeth." Very attractive, too. As a matter of fact, she just finished doing some research for me.

Dr. Craig Mosby: Well, shall we make it Johnson?

Dr. Doug Standish: Why, because Hanford's a woman? Half the doctors in Russia are women. Not a bad example for us to follow.

Dr. August 'Gus' Boren: He's got a point.

Dr. Craig Mosby: You wanna put a woman in that submarine for three or four months?

Dr. Doug Standish: She's also a scientist, and so are we.

Dr. August 'Gus' Boren: Brinkman says you met her in the science building. Under a desk.

Dr. Craig Mosby: Her?

Dr. Doug Standish: That was M.E. Hanford? Well what d'you say now, boss?

Dr. Craig Mosby: No, more than ever, no.

Hank Stahl: I'm on this ride for Dr. Hamaru, not for him.

Dr. Doug Standish: You can at least listen to him, can't you?

Hank Stahl: Anything that he's in on, I'm on the outside of.

Hank Stahl: I couldn't care less, doctor, let 'em all go.

Dr. Doug Standish: You don't mean that.

Hank Stahl: Well, maybe there are a few human beings up there: Dr. Hamaru, Gus Boren, Dimitri, my crazy, Russian, chess-playing friend...
