Longitude (2000)

Daragh O'Malley: Captain Bourke

Quotes 

• William Harrison : Taking that into account, there's a possible error in the longitude of less than half a degree.

  Captain Bourke : Let me be the first to congratulate you.

  [He starts to pour Harrison a drink.] 

  William Harrison : No, thank you. I'm already drunk. All my life -- my father's life -- has been for this moment. Listen: if the watch stops now, sir, so does my heart, for there will be no proof of its achievement. *Half* a degree -- we've won the prize, captain, we've won the prize!
