• Ernst : Fritz! Listen! Do you think when we get to New Guinea, *if* we ever do, there'll be any girls our age?

  Fritz : By the time we get to New Guinea, we won't care *what* age they are!

  [both laugh] 

• Roberta : Do you read a lot, Fritz?

  Ernst : Who, him? He practically doesn't ever read at all!

  Fritz : Never really needed to. Sooner or later, Ernst tells me everything he knows.

• Roberta : Funny, isn't it, how you can change your mind about what's important? What it is you really want. Take your parents. All of this time they've been wanting to get to New Guinea. And now when they really have their chance, they find out everything they want is right here.

  Fritz Robinson : You mean they're not going?

  Roberta : [shakes her head no]  I can understand how they feel.

  Fritz Robinson : I do too.

  Roberta : Two people, if they have each other, what more could they want?

• Roberta : Do you like the sea, Fritz?

  Fritz : I like things you can depend on. The sea, you can never be sure of it.

  Roberta : Well, that's the fun of it. Not being sure of things.

• Fritz : What's that?

  Father : That? Oh, that's a quarantine flag. Warning that there's Black Death aboard.

  Ernst : How did you know that?

  Father : Well *I* do a bit of reading, too, you know.

• Ernst : What are you doing?

  Fritz : I'll just take charge of the pistol for a while. I seem to remember it being appropriated before, when someone wanted to go back to the beach.

  Ernst : You give me back my pistol!
