Larry Simpson Quotes in Beyond the Poseidon Adventure (1979)

Larry Simpson: Theresa, your father... has he always had a one-track mind?

Theresa Mazzetti: Well... you know his bark is worse than his bite. He means well.

Larry Simpson: Yeah well... I guess if I had a daughter as pretty as you are, I'd probably act the same way.

[Theresa looks at Larry lovingly and smiles]

Theresa Mazzetti: Oh thank you.

Nurse Gina Rowe: [about the exit the Poseidon through an underwater side door] None of us are experienced divers Captain.

Captain Mike Turner: It's our only way out. I'm going to turn you all into frogmen. No one has a choice.

[puts down 2 scuba tanks]

Captain Mike Turner: There should be 2 more Wilbur. I counted 4.

Wilbur Hubbard: One's empty. The one I'm getting is half full.

Dewey 'Tex' Hopkins: Who's going in the scuba?

Captain Mike Turner: Everyone.

Celeste Whitman: Last time I went to school, 3 didn't go into 8.

Larry Simpson: What you say?

Celeste Whitman: 3 doesn't go into 8.

Wilbur Hubbard: With him, it's possible.

[meaning Mike]

Captain Mike Turner: You mean Jack Custo never taught buddy breathing?

Celeste Whitman: What's buddy...?

Captain Mike Turner: That's more than one diver on a single tank. Wilbur and I have done it before so we'll use the least air.
