Quote from Sam

Rebecca: Tonight is the night.
Sam: Yeah.
Rebecca: I can feel it in my bones. [Sam laughs] Right after dinner, I'm gonna tell Evan how I really feel.
Sam: Mmm.
Rebecca: No, I'm gonna show him how I feel. I'm going to seize the moment.
Sam: Fine, do what you want. Right about then, I'm going to be seizing Julie's headboard.

Quote from Sam

Evan Drake: Well, I hope Lorenzo has seen to everything. Julie, this is your cabin. I hope you find it comfortable.
Julie: Thank you.
Sam: I'll check in on you later, sis.
Julie: Oh, uh, that's okay. I think I'm getting a headache.
Sam: Well, not to worry. I'll just drop by with the old family cure.

Quote from Sam

Rebecca: You know, I love it when you talk stupid, Sam.
Sam: Uh-huh.
Rebecca: Didn't she just say she had a headache?
Sam: No, no. For Evan's benefit. No, she's got the kind of headache where you go straight to bed and take a couple of Sammys every four hours.
Rebecca: God, I cannot believe I'm sharing a stateroom with you. I will never get any mirror time.

Quote from Sam

Rebecca: I have to create just the right romantic mood with Evan.
Sam: Yeah.
Rebecca: Do you have any suggestions on how I could do that?
Sam: Oh, yeah, that's easy. What you do... [clears throat] is you knock on his door, and you tell him that you're having trouble sleeping, that you need some air. And then you get him to take a little stroll around the deck with you, and then when the the moment's right, you tell him you'd like to see him naked.
Rebecca: Works for me.

Quote from Rebecca

Rebecca: Would you do something about that damn Julie?
Sam: What?
Rebecca: She keeps heading up on deck every time I open up the door.
Sam: Julie? What the hell's she doing? We got a date.
Rebecca: That would probably send me to the rail, too.

Quote from Rebecca

Rebecca: Oh, my God!
Sam: What?
Rebecca: I just saw Evan go in Julie's cabin, and my life has no meaning.
Sam: You're crazy.
Rebecca: I'm not, I saw it. Shoot me now!

Quote from Sam

Julie: Uh, Sam, I told you I have a headache.
Sam: Oh, wait a minute. What? Hey, Drake's in there, isn't he?
Julie: Oh.
Sam: Oh.
Julie: Well...
Sam: I don't believe this. What? You're- You're throwing me over for that guy? Why? Just because he has more money than me? More money than I'll ever hope to have? More money than most of America h-? I'm losing this argument, aren't l?
Julie: Good night.

Quote from Sam

Sam: I don't believe the nerve of that woman.
Rebecca: I believe it. Of course I believe it. Because she is nothing more than a classless bimbo.
Sam: Hey, don't defend her to me.

Quote from Sam

Evan Drake: [knocks on door and enters] Oh- Oh, I'm sorry. [mutters]
Rebecca: No, it's all right, Evan, come in.
Evan Drake: Well, I can't sleep until I get something off my chest.
Sam: Well, read a book, man, and- And get back to us in about three hours, huh?
Rebecca: No, no. Go on, Evan.
Evan Drake: Sam, I got where I am in life because I have always dealt honestly with people I respect.
Sam: Hey, that's great. Can we talk about it in the morning, please?
Evan Drake: Sam, I tried to seduce your sister.
Sam: Oh, oh, oh... Oh, well, that's a that's a shocker. Um, may... Maybe we ought to sleep on it, huh?
