Captain Nemo : Mr. Land, you saved my life. Why?

Conseil : What?
Ned Land : Get drunk!

Ned Land : [after Captain Farragut announces that he is ending the search] Cheer up, Professor. You'll forget all about fishing when you see the gals in Saigon.
Professor Pierre Aronnax, narrator : I thought they promised you a bonus if you harpooned this monster, Mr. Land.
Ned Land : Knowing full well I couldn't collect it. When I get back, I'm shipping out on the first whaler that'll take me. I won't get rich, but I won't be sitting around picking my teeth with my harpoon.
Conseil : Maybe we are lucky. It might have sunk us.
Ned Land : You scare me. Be a good loser, Professor. The fish that got away is always the biggest one.
Conseil : Ah, what a pity, Professor. I know you had visions of that monster mounted in the National Museum.

Conseil : Why, Ned, you're not thinking of putting messages in these bottles, are you? That went out with Robinson Crusoe. You've forgotten this is the 19th Century.
Ned Land : There's something else I forgot.
[punches Conseil in the chin]
Ned Land : That's for spyin' on me. Don't let me catch you paddin' the shadow of my stern again. Remember that!
[Conseil rubs his chin, feelings hurt as well]
Ned Land : I don't like bashin' anybody. But you had it comin', lad.
Conseil : And I thought we were friends.
Ned Land : Sure, we're friends! Go ahead, hit me.
[sticks out his chin]
Conseil : You mean that?
Ned Land : [sticking his chin out further] Sure, go ahead! You can't miss it.
[Conseil surprises Ned with a punch to the gut]
Conseil : *Now* we're friends!
