Movie quotes

  • (..) ...is a geyser-like river which could be used to return to the surface." So, what we have to do is get across this ocean... ...and find the geyser and just hitch a ride topside. Topside sounds good. It's a little trickier than that. It could get so hot that the water'll evaporate. (..)
