Captain... what language is this?
Captain Cyrus Harding: It's Latin. "Mihi libertas necessest."
Lady Mary Fairchild: "I must have liberty."

Captain Cyrus Harding:
This was just the beginning. We escaped, but only into the clutches of the greatest storm in American History.
Captain Cyrus Harding: Below us, when we could still see through the patches of angry clouds, were smashed cities and forests torn up by their roots.
Captain Cyrus Harding: Then finally, the earth disappeared from our view. We were prisoners of the wind, helpless in the storm's mighty grip. And we wondered, how much longer we'd remain aloft. Would we ever set foot on the earth again?

Captain Nemo:
Now Captain Harding, aren't you ready to dance with the devil now?
Captain Cyrus Harding: Show me the pumps and the power to raise that ship, and then you'll have seven new waltz partners.

Captain Nemo:
What I did was in the name of peace. Your war, like all wars, glories in devastation and death.
Captain Cyrus Harding: Well, my war will set men free.
Captain Cyrus Harding: Well, my war will set men free.
Gideon Spilitt:
Captain, why don't we turn this island into a democracy and elect a leader? One who won't keep escaping to places which need escaping from.
Captain Cyrus Harding: Because all of us here are still at war, and I just happen to be the ranking officer.

[after the men finish eating the giant crab]
Gideon Spilitt: That's the best crab I ever cooked.
Captain Cyrus Harding: We'd be more impressed, Mr. Spilitt, if you'd put it in the pot by yourself.

[finding an unconscious Elena on the shore]
Herbert Brown: She's beautiful.
Captain Cyrus Harding: Better than that, she's alive.

[last lines]
Captain Cyrus Harding: We deeply regretted we could not save the life of the man who had saved ours. A man who dedicated himself to ending strife among men. And when we returned to civilization, we all pledged ourselves to working for a peaceful and bountiful world, as Captain Nemo would have it.
