Dr. Weir : [describing how the Event Horizon functions] The ship doesn't really go faster than light; what it does is it creates a dimensional gateway that allows it to jump instantaneously from one point of the universe to another light years away.
Lt. Starck, Executive Officer : How?
Dr. Weir : [stammering] Well, that's - that's difficult to - it's all math...
Miller : Try us, Doctor.
Dr. Weir : Right. Well, um, using layman's terms... Use a rotating magnetic field to focus a narrow beam of gravitons - these, in turn, fold space-time consistent with Weyl tensor dynamics until the space-time curvature becomes infinitely large, and you produce a singularity. Now, the singularity...
Miller : [interrupting, dumbfounded] "Layman's terms"?
Cooper : Well, fuck layman's terms! Do you speak English?

[after visiting the "other place" and waking from a coma, Justin has sealed himself in an airlock]
Peters : Justin, open the door.
Justin : Did you hear it?
Starck : [trying to override the lock] Keep him talking.
Peters : Yes. Yes, I heard it. Do you know what it is?
Justin : It shows you things... horrible things.
Peters : What does?
Justin : The dark inside me from the other place. I won't go back there. I won't.
Peters : No, Baby Bear. Come on, open the door.
D.J. : [enters] What's happening?
Starck : I don't think she can talk him down.
D.J. : She'd better. If he opens the airlock, he's going to turn inside out.
Peters : No, you stay with me.
Starck : I've almost got it.
Peters : You stay with me, Justin. Come on, now! Open that door!
Justin : If you could see the things I've seen, you wouldn't try to stop me.

Cooper : Starck? Would you like something hot and black inside you?
[Starck gives him the finger]
Cooper : Oooh! Is that an offer?
Lt. Starck, Executive Officer : [smiles] It is not.
Cooper : Well how about some coffee, then?

Miller : Lieutenant, why are you not on the Bridge?
Lt. Starck, Executive Officer : [Just out of sleep-tube] Do you mind if I get dressed first?
Miller : As a matter of fact, I do! I do mind if you get dressed first.

Miller : What are you telling me, that this ship is alive?
Lt. Starck, Executive Officer : You wanted an answer, and it's the only one I've got.
Miller : No, what I want lieutenant, is to survive the next 10 hours!
