Where's this sample from?

What's the sample in this old d'n'b tracker tune?
The voice snippet is in this song. It starts at 1:58 and goes to 2:05. To me it's a female voice saying something that sounds like "dive into the deep, deep blue", but Google gives me no firm results, and the text inside the .xm gives me nothing too. (The site from which the song is originally from is more or less dead.)
Any help's appreciated! Been going crazy for a while trying to figure this one out.

Best answer: I installed MilkyTracker to open the mod file and listen to the isolated vocal samples. There are two in the file and they are still not very clear (they're super low resolution at 8 bit, 8.4 khz and mono). One sounds to me like "glide in to it - the deep, deep, blue." The other sounds like "fly where the dive" (?).
There is also an email address in the mod file, if you want to try that. It is the same as the email here. It looks like the same person wrote the tracking software and the tune. Maybe this is the "more or less dead" website you mention...

Best answer: Here's a clip of the two isolated samples that you can listen to without downloading anything.

Sounds like something from one of those self-help tapes. That's no help I know, but it means that it might not come from a film or anything obvious.

Response by poster: Thanks everybody; I did some more Googling with the isolated sample Rhomboid ripped and have found the source! Both bits are from Olympic - Fly While You Dive (that's what it is!) -- a trance-y tune from the ambient Fax label, oddly enough. AskMe triumphs again.
