Quotes 

• Jimmy James : Fellas, I think, uh - despite what Joe says - the ship is sinking.

  Dave : Yes - that's what I've been saying all along. What finally brought you around?

  Jimmy James : Well, I think it's when Joe drowned.

• Dave : I realized that there were some things in life that you can't find in the afterlife.

  Lisa Miller : Like love?

  Dave : No, coffee. Speaking of which, do you have any?

  Lisa Miller : Love?

  Dave : No, coffee.

  Lisa Miller : No, I don't. Sorry.

  Dave : Well, then what's the point?

  [Sinks back down] 

• Dave : Matthew! You're not likely to notice too many icebergs with your nose buried in that nefarious scandal sheet.

  Matthew Brock : Aw, gee whiz!

  Dave : Matthew! What have I told you about swearing on this ship? I will not have it!

  Matthew Brock : Darn.

  Dave : Matthew!

  Matthew Brock : Shucks!

  Dave : Well, I never!

• Dave : Well, sir - and this goes for everyone as well - there has been an iceberg warning. So...

  [all laugh] 

  Lisa Miller : Dave - an iceberg warning? Please - get real.

  Matthew Brock : [mocking]  Look at me! I'm a big ol' iceberg, and I'm a-comin' to get Dave!

• Jimmy James : I'm supposed to be havin' coffee with that Molly Brown chick from upstairs.

  Dave : Any progress there, sir?

  Jimmy James : Second base. But, uh, I hear she's involved in the suffrage movement, and I'm thinkin', uh, maybe she's a little hot to trot.

• Dave : Look, it's only a birthday present. It just means I'm glad you didn't die partway through the year.
