The Best Reverend Scott Quotes

Reverend: Give her your shirt.
Mike: My shirt?
Linda: Come on!

Linda: Jesus Christ! What happened?
Reverend: We've turned over.

Reverend: God is pretty busy! He's got a long term plan for humanity that stretches far beyond our comprehension. So its not reasonable to expect Him to concern Himself with the individual. The individual is important - only to the extent of providing a creative link - between the past and the future, in his children, or in his grandchildren or his contributions to humanity. Therefore, don't pray to God to solve your problems. Pray to that part of God within you. Have the guts - to fight for yourself. God wants brave souls. He wants winners! Not quitters. lf you can't win, at least try to win. God loves tryers.

Mike: Don't be a smartass!

Purser: Pray for us, but don't do this!

Purser: Climbing to another deck will kill you all!
Reverend: And sitting on our butts is not going to help us either. Maybe by climbing out of here, we can save ourselves. If you've got any sense, you'll come along with us.

Reverend: So what resolution should we make for the new year? It's to let God know that you have the guts and the will to do it alone. Resolve to fight for yourselves, and for others, for those you love. And that part of God within you will be fighting with you all the way.

Mike: Wait a minute! This is no goddamn engine room!
Linda: Then where the Hell are we?
Reverend: There was a corridor leading to the engine room.
Mr. Manny Rosen: But now it's underwater.
Reverend: All right. We'll swim through it. Give me the rope.
Linda: You've gotta be kidding!
Mike: She's right. If the corridor's underwater what about the engine room?
Reverend: It's in the clear. It's one deck up. It's above us. We'll swim through the bulkhead, down a short corridor and up a companionway. It can't be more than thirty five feet at the most.
Linda: Oh, is that all!
Reverend: We can do it. Trust me, we can do it!

Reverend: I said I was gonna get everybody out of here and goddamit I'm gonna do it!
