The Poseidon Adventure Page #2
Three other officers
have their master's license.
Now, order full ahead.
You irresponsible bastard.
Full ahead!
Aye, aye, sir.
Where did they come from?
They boarded at Gibraltar.
They're on their way to Sicily.
A free trip for free music.
They're going to a jazz festival.
Morning after
l can't take this.
Give me a Strauss waltz.
You? You even fancy bagpipes.
Hey, did you know this?
The engines on this ship
have more total horsepower. . .
. . .than all the cavalry Napoleon
used to conquer Europe.
How about that?
That's heavy, Robin, real heavy.
electricity. . .
. . .to light Charleston, South Carolina,
and Atlanta, Georgia.
-Shelby?
-That's right.
-Cable.
-Thank you.
-lt's my turn to open the cable.
-Don't be so childish.
''Mother and l waiting impatiently
your arrival.
Our thoughts and our love with you
on this New Year's Eve. Dad. ''
-We should've sent them a wire.
-l did.
Why didn't you ask me for my ideas?
l mean, what to put in it.
Why don't l have a brother
who's easier to live with?
-Stop jumping and go take a shower.
-l'm going to the engine room.
-You're going to church.
-On vacation?
-Will you get in that bathroom?
-l want to see the propeller shaft.
-You'll see the propeller shaft later.
-Why don't you shove it?
Don't you ever say that to me again.
God is pretty busy.
He has a plan for humanity that
stretches beyond our comprehension.
So we can't 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.
He wants winners, not quitters.
lf you can't win, at least try to win.
God loves tryers.
-lsn't that right, Robin?
-Right.
So, what resolution should
we make for the New Year?
Resolve to let God know that
you have the guts to do it alone!
Resolve to fight for yourselves
and for others. . .
. . .and for those you love.
That part of God within you will
be fighting with you. . .
. . .all the way.
Do you know what it means to be picked
out from all the passengers. . .
. . .to sit at the captain's table
on New Year's Eve?
l'll tell you one thing it means.
That your worries about other women
looking down on you is bull.
He only invited us because
you're a detective lieutenant.
Why don't you just go without me?
What should l do at midnight,
