In a TV show, movie or video is there a actress/model that has said something while sinking that sticks with you?
For example
"I can see why they say don't struggle against the quicksand,"

Melissa Joan Hart (as Sabrina teenage witch): “ OK, I appear to be standing in some sort of primordial ooze . . . in my GOOD SHOES!” A comic scene; I’ll try to think of a dramatic line.

Most iconic for me is Princess Peach/Toadstool from Super Mario Bros. Super Show. "Thanks, guys! That sand was the pits..."

There are quite a few funny lines in that scene. I especially like this one:
"Somebody save me! ... or at least scratch my nose!"

Agreed. “Guys . . . This stuff ain’t slowsand!” and “Why shouldn’t I be calm? Some people pay thousands of dollars for this kind of beauty treatment.” And of course “And the worst part, other than the pound of quicksand in my underwear . . .” Good stuff.

Another semi-comic quote: Ann Howe in Kaol video - “Now what do they tell you to do to get out of quicksand? I think you just wiggle.” Which of course gets her in deeper.
Still thinking of dramatic scenes.

The scene in Adventure Inc I think is up there
Man as he runs off to figure out out to save her: “Hang On!”
She as she struggles to stay above the surface: “Onto what?!”

something like that in Star Trek novel Imzadi. The bad guy (an alien of the Sindareen species) has goofed and stepped into a "mud pit". Riker yells at him to "hold on!", and the bad guy replies in an amused tone, "to what?" and those are his last words because the "mud" covers his vocal flaps and in a couple of seconds, the bad guy has gone out of sight.
