Quote context

[...]

- It all started one morning at two-thirty. I was on watch, lying on the cool stone deck, pulling on my pipe...

- Staring out at the blackness, the phosphorescent combers and the big yellow stars...

- A three master. A big one. About a half mile off and coming down out of the north-northwest, coming straight for us.

- Dangerous submerged reefs surrounded us and ships kept clear. But this one, this sailing vessel was coming straight on.

- I went over to the gallery door and yelled... Louis! Louis!

- Couldn't understand it. I waited for the light to come around again.

- What is it?

- Ship headed for the reef!

- Coming right up!

- I had the glasses out now. I couldn't read her name, but I could see her quite plainly.

Top rated lines from this movie

You can take just so much horror and then you get used to it.
A wind that smelled like death. A wind that had smelled the slow and frightful death that came one night to this bare black rock.

From time to time, I'd strike a match to see the clock... And when I did, it lit up the million red eyes about us. All about. Watching. Waiting.
Black beard, little hard black eyes and a pair of arms that - I tell you, those arms were as big around as my legs.
