Katherine Harvey Quotes in Captain Ron (1992)

Benjamin Harvey: Man. What happened to your eye?

Martin Harvey: Ben.

Katherine Harvey: Sweetie, that's rude.

Captain Ron: No, that's alright. Shark attack, swab.

Benjamin Harvey: A shark ate your eye?

Captain Ron: [telling how he lost his eye] Yeah, it happened when I went down off the coast of Australia.

Katherine Harvey: Your boat sank?

Captain Ron: No, no, no, no. Not my boat. My boss's boat. Yeah, we hit this reef. Huge son-of-a-bitch. Ran the whole coast.

Katherine Harvey: Wait. The Great Barrier Reef?

Captain Ron: You've heard of it, huh? Smart lady.

Bill Zachary: Mr. and Mrs. Harvey? I'm Bill Zachary from the U.S. State Department. I've got some good news for you.

Katherine Harvey: Oh. You found our children.

Bill Zachary: No. But you're not being charged with subversion.

Katherine Harvey: We'll be spontaneous when we have time.

Benjamin Harvey: [Overhearing his parents] Wow. We're getting a boat? Too cool.

Katherine Harvey: Ben, remember our discussion about eavesdropping?

Benjamin Harvey: Okay. But we're getting a boat?

Katherine Harvey: Your father and I have to talk about it.

Benjamin Harvey: Alright. We're getting a boat.

Katherine Harvey: What are we going to do?

Martin Harvey: What can we do? Look around you. The sun is almost up. We are marooned in an unfriendly country. We have no luggage, no money, no passports and worse still... no reason or explination for even being here!

Katherine Harvey: But we have our boat.

Martin Harvey: No dear. If you'll look again, you'll notice that the pirates have our boat.

Caroline Harvey: Now, wait a minute. That's our boat. We should do something.

Martin Harvey: What are you saying?

Katherine Harvey: I think she's saying that if the pirates have our boat, we should take it back from them. I say we fight them.

Martin Harvey: Bloodthirsty, heavily armed Cuban pirates against the Harvey clan? It would take a miracle.

Benjamin Harvey: Look! It's Captain Ron!

Martin Harvey: What do you think about Captain Ron? I mean, uh, I would be certainly willing to provide someone else if you're not comfortable with him. I think it's important that you're, uh...

Katherine Harvey: No, I think he's fine... I mean, he seems to know what he's doing. He was in the Navy.

Martin Harvey: Yeah, yeah, all right... What about the eye thing, though?

Katherine Harvey: Oh, honey! I would never fire anybody because they were physically challenged. Frankly, I admire him. I mean, really, when you think about the way he parked that boat. It was unbelievable - I mean, especially for somebody with no depth perception as we know it.

Martin Harvey: [not sounding completely convinced of that notion] Oh, yeah, yeah, he's good...
