Quotes5

  • [first lines]
  • Bill Buchanan: [narrating] If you're a tourist on vacation, there isn't a more colorful spot in the West Indies than Haiti. You'll fall in love with Port-au-Prince. You'll shop in its famous markets where you can buy anything from a pair of lizard shoes to a live goat and you'll sail into the very harbor that Columbus first sailed into aboard the Santa Maria. But if you've got sunken treasure fever like I have, you'll spend most of your time in Haiti underwater.
  • Bill Buchanan: [narrating] The San Tan wasn't much of a boat, but she was all mine. Mine? I was over my head in seawater in debts. But we managed to keep her afloat - "we" meaning me and the best one-man crew on the island. Ti Flute and I were bound to strike it rich... that is if I don't get involved again with a character like Carl Dexter. It baffles me how a guy who looked like Dexter could have a daughter who looks like his did. She was a New York model who flew down to see what dear old dad was up to. Like the rest of us treasure hunters, he was also chasing the golden mistress. But he was doing it the hard way when he sneaked into the most secret of voodoo ceremonies - the Dance of Blazing Idol.
  • Ann Dexter: Bad luck, Bill.
  • Bill Buchanan: I guess I never really believed we'd get away with it.
  • Ann Dexter: What'll we do now?
  • Bill Buchanan: I guess that's up to you.
  • Ann Dexter: I'm tired of chasing rainbows. I've chased them all my life.
  • Bill Buchanan: That's strange. One of the things that Isnard taught me was, wherever Dumbala goes, the rainbow goes with him.
  • Ann Dexter: You mean maybe we will find it?
  • Bill Buchanan: Maybe we *have* found it.
  • [last lines]
  • [as Bill and Ann embrace, Ti Flute launches into a tune on his namesake instrument]
  • Bill Buchanan: Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road!
  • Ti Flute: Oui, mon Capitaine.
  • [Ti Flute begins to play "Here Comes the Bride"]
  • Bill Buchanan: I laugh at no man's god.
