Quotes9

  • Alec McKuen: [after discovering Professor Göteborg dead in his hotel room] Why didn't they tell us at the desk?
  • Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: Hotels rarely advertise the fact that there are corpses lying around.
  • Alec McKuen: I wonder if Madam Goetabaug will change her mind at the last moment.
  • Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: You make my mouth water.
  • Alec McKuen: Hans is tying the rope on her.
  • Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: I'm a fool. I should have told him to tie her to one of the mules and send her back where she belongs.
  • Alec McKuen: In what language would you have told him that, Sir Oliver?
  • Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: All right, she may be of some use in that respect. Then there's always the blessed chance the rope may break.
  • Woman: Did you get your injuries when the volcano blew up, in the hot lava?
  • Alec McKuen: Oh no. No, it happened in Edinburgh at our wedding.
  • Jenny: He was in such a hurry leaving the church, he fell all the way down the steps.
  • Woman: Oh! You poor wee bride. After all that waiting. It's been no marriage for you at all.
  • Jenny: You underestimate Alec.
  • Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: Where are you eating tonight?
  • Alec McKuen: U-uh... this being Tuesday, I-I'm not eating.
  • Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: Oh?
  • Alec McKuen: I-I find it very healthy to... to eat only every other night.
  • Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: You won't find anything edible in there.
  • Alec McKuen: Why not? The Chinese eat eggs over 400 years old.
  • Alec McKuen: There'll never be a better moment than today. I'm going to tell him about our feelings for each other. He'll say yes almost inadvertently.
  • Jenny: Well, what if he says no, advertently?
  • Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: Come here, take a look.
  • [Alec cowers when he sees how high on the mountain they are]
  • Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: Did you expect a flight of stairs with a red carpet?
  • Alec McKuen: I... I neglected to tell you, sir, I... I have a nervous fear of heights.
  • Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: Well, you'll get over that after the first million fathoms or so.
  • Hans Belker: [in Icelandic] The woman in room number 29, she said she wants to talk to you.
  • Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: Tell him to stop jabbering and go shopping.
  • Alec McKuen: Uhh, what about lamps?
  • Hans Belker: [in Icelandic] The woman in room number 29, she said...
  • Alec McKuen: Ah, uh, lamps... lamps. What about... ah... picks?
  • Alec McKuen: After all, we... we did hit the center of the earth.
  • Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: It hit us, laddie.
