"[referring to officers going to a 'cathouse' the night before shipping out] Scared fuckers. They need sex like the infantry needs alcohol."

"[After an alarm is sounded and an emergency dive is executed] April fool. Practice makes perfect."

"Our patrol planes! Where are they? Answer that one, Herr Göring! The British have plenty of them! Talking big is all he's good for, that fat slob."

"[looking at a log of messages from other U-Boats] Our recent triumphs: "Dived to evade enemy aircraft; Lost contact." "Dived to evade destroyer; Depth charged." The British have stopped making mistakes."

"[to Werner, while they stand on the bridge, sailing through rough seas] There's nothing more beautiful than a submarine...and a sailboat! There are no better lines than those of a sailboat. I sailed on a three-masted schooner once. Gorgeous ship! It had holds the size of a cathedral! [he and Werner laugh]"

"[during the storm] The sea cannot claim us, Henrich. No ship is as seaworthy as ours."

"[After a successful torpedo attack, and the sounds of the sinking ships fade away] Now it's their turn."

"Okay, men, now listen. We're going to blow out the water now and see if we can get our rear ends out of the sand. If we make it to the surface, things could still get pretty rough. Traffic's heavy up there. And we have to pray the engines start, so we can get out of this mess. The condition the boat is in, we have got to head straight for La Rochelle. If we make it... it's half a bottle of beer for each! There is one thing on our side; they won't be expecting us. Well men, all set?"

"[escaping from the British] They haven't spotted us! They're all snoring in their bunks! Or you know what? They're drinking in the bar! Celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!"

"[gives a drunken speech to the party in honor of his Knight's Cross] A toast to our wonderful, abstaining, womanless Führer. Who rose gloriously from apprentice painter to become the world's greatest battle strategist. What, isn't it true? He's the great naval expert who took it upon himself, in his wisdom...how does it go again...Who's been showing that English bedwetter, that cigar-chomping asshole Churchill, where to go stick his cigars!"

"[drunk, in English] I am not in a condition to fuck!"

"Hail victory, and sink them all!"

"Mildew is good for you. It's the next best thing to fresh lettuce. Be thankful for what grows down here."

"The boat is rated to 90 metres, but of course we can go deeper. There's a limit somewhere. We can only take so much pressure... before the boat will be crushed."
