☊ The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) Soundboard

A crayon pony fish.

A good sign. The last time we saw that big shitkicker here...

A rattlesnake bit it in the throat.

A reef surrounds the Ping Islands, warning intruders to keep their distance.

A remote and fascinating region teeming with extraordinary marine life.

A washed up old man with no friends, no distribution deal,

A week before she killed herself, my mother told me

About five years ago. I read it in an article about myself.

Action!

Actually, I was sort of terrified about having this baby.

Actually, I went ahead and stamped and self addressed 50 or so envelopes

Actually, I'm surprised you didn't cross the line yourself.

Again, this is Captain Hennessey. Immediately leave...

Ah. Oh, how delightful.

All hands, bury the dead.

All right, I take that back.

All right, I'm gonna warn you now, be a gentleman.

All right, let's check out.

All right, let's go.

All right, look, just forge the rest of 'em yourself, all right?

All right.

Almost more so.

Also our equity partner.

Although we'll obviously have to crew up from scratch next time.

Am I ever gonna be good again?

Am I? No.

Amin needs to make a projection of the world grosses

And help you do this rescue doesn't mean you've won me back.

And I collect and catalogue amphibians, reptiles and insects."

And I think you're a phony and a bad reporter.

And I want you to know how much that means to me.

And in ten days I'm gonna set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it.

And Jackman and Wordsley are going to gap finance the rest.

And rescue my bond company stooge who got kidnapped.

And she took her own life.

And that circle represents friendship,

And that...

And the elapsed time between Mr Ubell's capture and this message,

And the K here stands for Klaus.

And there's not a damn thing you can do about that, Steve.

And there's not much chance I'll get another call,

And ultimately a tragic one.

And we keep a Swedish masseuse on staff.

And, hopefully, kill it.

And, Jane, you're a goddamn liar.

Anne Marie Sakowitz, 25, script girl.

Anne Marie, do the interns get Glocks?

Another name?

Anybody feel like going for a ride?

Anybody see anybody?

Anyone that would care to join me is more than welcome.

Anyway, his mother just died. Plus, we're having some problems.

Anyway, I'd back out now, but we need the press.

Anyway, I'll order you some correspondence stock.

Apparently she worships you, and we dearly need the press.

Apparently some crooked fuckers broke into my Sealab yesterday.

Are those assholes talking about me?

Are you crying?

Are you gonna screw us on this deal?

Are you sleeping with Ned?

As always, even in the most challenging circumstances,

At a tremendous disadvantage.

Attaboy. Attaboy.

Attagirl.

B: an architect, C: a pilot."

Based on the quality of the connection, the variety of wildlife in the background,

Be cool on this shit, OK, cubbie? I mean, at least try to show both sides.

Be still, Cody.

Because he looks up to me.

Because he told me.

Because I hate fathers, and I never wanted to be one.

Because no one picked me up at the effing airport.

Because the sound is going to be shit.

Before they terminated my sponsorship.

Before they'll forward the money.

Bill speaks their language. What are they saying?

Bill Ubell here. I'm on a payphone.

Bloody hell, God save that poor little stooge.

Blue Star Cadet, Zissou Society."

Bobby Ogata brings exactly this to our attention tonight.

Bobby Ogata, 22, frogman.

Bon voyage.

Bravo! What fun.

Bull dykes can get pregnant.

But a boy has been kind enough to assist me,

But anyway, I'm sorry.

But I gave you a goddamn show stopper up there.

But I just inherited $ 275,000.

But I'd have considered it.

But it still hurts. It hurts bad.

But its power tubes have seized up and blown a gasket.

But now the tracking system's gone completely on the fritz.

But remember, I shot one of their guys in the neck last week and killed him, so...

But she's got some moves.

But the entire island was destroyed by a monsoon five years ago.

But the fact that there's a chance

But then I realised...

But we can't afford to fix 'em this year.

But we have a few hooks on it, so take a pew for a spell.

But we made ours with a special rabbit ear on the top so we could pipe in some music.

But you gave me a warning already.

But you stitched me onto the dolphin,

But you've actually located the shark.

But... I think I might start to cry.

By the way, I've been trying to think of a nickname that might mean the right thing.

By the way, would you mind if I made a few modifications to the Team Zissou insignia?

Calm, collected, German.

Can I have a word alone with my son, please?

Can you fly a chopper?

Can you hear the jack whales singing?

Captain Zissou, can I get a shot of you with Captain Hennessey?

Captain Zissou, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Ned Plimpton.

Captain, I am required by law to notify the bank of any illegal activities.

Change it back, Ned. I really don't see you as a Kingsley Zissou.

Check the scanning monitor. Start tracking it before it goes too deep!

Could I butter you up anyway? It took me two and a half hours to get here.

Could I have a word with you, please?

Could we ask your parents to loan it to me?

Cubbie, I'd like to speak on the record for a moment.

Cut!

Cut. Klaus, why aren't you rolling?

Cut. Print both takes, Vikram.

Dammit, Steve!

Daydream Johnny, yes.

Did I lose my talent?

Did I write you back?

Did it seem fake when my best friend was bitten in half right in front of me,

Did you believe it?

Did you get that, Vikram?

Dig in and hold these rustlers off while I call in the rendezvous.

Do it again. I misunderstood.

Do me a favour. Next time you get a hot idea in front of the reporter,

Do we really want to put me through this?

Do you all... not like me any more?

Do you know you just charted us on a course through unprotected waters?

Do you think Steve and I have a family resemblance?

Do you want me to catch you up on the story?

Does it freak you out for me to ask that?

Does this seem fake?

Doesn't matter, anyway. It's probably the last adventure I've got in me.

Don't be nice to Ali. He's my nemesis.

Don't be scared. I'm gonna get us through this, everybody. Ogata. Como esta. Pel?

Don't cut unless I say cut.

Don't even know why I'm still pregnant.

Don't go on this voyage right now, Steve.

Don't say that. Even if it's true... don't say that.

Don't tell her anything personal.

Don't you dare put on that uniform.

Don't you know me and Esteban always thought of you as our baby brother?

Don't you think public perception of your work has altered in the last five years?

Each one has three blank pages in it, and...

Eleanor has always been the brains behind Team Zissou.

Eleanor put together a topnotch research library for us,

Eleanor Zissou, my wife,

Empty.

Energetic, spirited, youthful.

Especially the goddamn lookout.

Esteban!

Esteban! Esteban!

Everybody check for swamp leeches and pull 'em off.

Except I always thought he was a closet queer.

Excuse me.

Feeling sorry for himself.

First we turn on that tracking system, then as long as the batteries haven't gone...

Five...

Fluorescent snapper unexpectedly appear in the shallows,

Fold.

Follow me.

Fuck! They wired it. Klaus, go down and get me some cable snippers.

Gathered at my oceanographic observatory here on Pescespada Island.

Get him out of the fucking water.

Gimme that camera. I'm gonna smash it over your head.

Go to bed, you sons of bitches.

Goddammit, Eleanor, why do you have to say it like that?

Good God, is that you, Steven?

Good. We'll give them the reality this time.

Got it.

Great. Let's go.

Had Ned's heart stopped beating before we pulled him out of the water?

Had Ned's heart stopped beating before you pulled him out of the water?

He didn't take it, did he?

He didn't. I went looking for him last month after my mother died.

He doesn't even know how to hold a boom.

He doesn't know diddly jack about what we're doing.

He hogs up all the grant money.

He just drank a little too much water.

He says I hurt his feelings?

He should have an answer for us in ten days.

He used to be married to Eleanor.

He wanted to meet you.

He wants to make a big to do of the Oceanographic Explorer article,

He's an investor.

He's got hydrogen psychosis, "crazy eye".

He's married, but... not to me.

He's my sidekick.

He's the Zissou.

Hello.

Her parents paid for this island and two of my worst movies.

Here he is. Here he is. Come on.

Here we go.

Here.

Here's the engine room. The bearing casings aren't supposed to look like that,

Here's where we do all our science projects and experiments and so on.

Hey, baby.

Hey, Billy. You OK?

Hey, Ned.

Hey, Steve, how come you're not sitting shivah for your friend Esteban?

Hey, Steven. How's everything going with your...

Hi, Ross. I got your corrections on the proofs.

Hi, Ross. Started today.

Ho!

Ho.

Hold on.

Holy shit! Son of a bitch. Cut.

Hook this up and make me a latte.

How about "Stevesie"?

How are you shooting this, Vikram? Wide open?

How could you lay that slick faggot?

How dare you!

How did she die, by the way, your mother?

How did you get my espresso machine?

How do you feel about part one of your new film?

How does that feel? Now tell me something...

How long have you been working with Zissou?

How you holding up there, intern? Doing OK?

How's this?

I agree.

I am blindfolded and my arms are bound,

I am pregnant.

I appreciate that.

I believe it's criminal that Steve allowed this to happen to us, by which I mean illegal.

I bet I'm gonna really miss you, Ned.

I came up with "Papa Steve".

I can tow you as far as Port au Patois. I'll need your signature on that invoice first.

I can't believe you took that boy's money.

I can't guarantee that, Klausy, but I'll try. Can we get on with the manoeuvres now?

I didn't wanna impose myself.

I didn't. I never even met him.

I don't have a problem with objective reporting.

I don't know how yet. Maybe dynamite.

I don't know if it's true or not, by the way. Do you?

I don't know what comes next.

I don't know your problems. I don't know...

I don't know.

I don't know. Klaus is supposed to check it every six months.

I don't know. Maybe I'll stick with Ned for now.

I don't know. That's not my job.

I don't know. Uh, it's a map.

I don't know. Uh... it's just...

I don't know. We might have them mixed up.

I don't think she's a lesbian. She's pregnant.

I don't understand the question.

I don't understand, but I can tell it's bullshit.

I don't understand. Why?

I don't usually try grass.

I don't want to be a part of whatever's gonna happen out there.

I feel as if life has...

I feel like my heart's almost getting broken.

I forgot. Your correspondence stock came in.

I got a feeling we can spot this fish from 111 feet up.

I guess I'm overreacting.

I guess it doesn't really matter anyway.

I guess we were all right while we lasted, though.

I guess we'll have to loop that line.

I had this image of you on the wall above my aquarium all through primary school.

I have $ 275,000 invested in this damn production.

I have to be back in Kentucky on Thursday.

I have to run this by my bond company stooge.

I have to tell you, I've been a member of the Zissou Society since I was 11.

I have, but I'm certainly not licensed in any way, shape or form.

I haven't heard from her in 30 years.

I hear what you're saying, but I think you misjudge the guy.

I heard a pin snap loose on the rotator mechanism.

I hired some drunk in a fishing boat.

I hooked a rhinestone bluefin on a rope to give him something to eat.

I hope not.

I hope so.

I hope you're not gonna bust our chops, Bill.

I just became a knight in Portugal. The presidente gave a special ball...

I just don't see it.

I just had a lovely chat with Si Perlman.

I just lost all my best interns. I thought you were supposed to be covering this.

I kept rolling till they put this hood on me.

I know how you feel. Some crooked fuckers just stripped my Sealab, you know.

I know I haven't been at my best this past decade.

I know the place. Hotel Citroen.

I know, honey. Look at the map.

I know. I'm saying, after that.

I love it. Tell me something, does it actually exist?

I mean, I know I want him to think of me like a father.

I mean, what am I supposed to do? I don't know.

I meant your last name. I thought you might like to let me give you mine.

I misread you, man. I'm gonna have to rethink some shit.

I miss you and...

I need some money to get the boat out of hock

I need to find a baby for this father.

I need to speak with the man in charge.

I never did.

I never told you this, but I was hoping...

I offered him a spot on the Belafonte.

I ought to have stayed in Kentucky where I belong.

I said I wanted to say hello. I didn't say I wanted you to touch me.

I said those things, I did those things.

I see, yeah.

I should not have been, as I was,

I sort of pieced it together over the years.

I spoke with Larry Amin, and it's a pass.

I still wish I could breathe underwater.

I suppose we could put an N on the side of that octopus.

I think I'm OK.

I think maybe it's because he spent half his life underwater.

I think maybe the pushrod failed.

I think this whole place is deserted.

I think we're OK, too.

I think you'll make a very good single mother.

I think you're a fake.

I think your Team Zissou ring might've caught me on the lip.

I thought aspects of it seemed slightly fake.

I thought he hated my guts.

I thought it would be nice if the three of us rode out to the party together.

I told you I have a bit of a thing for her. "Not this one, " I said.

I try to answer as many personally as I can.

I turn my back, and the bullshit begins.

I wanna communicate my feelings to you,

I wanna thank you for talking to me and...

I want you all to get Hennessey's best gear onto the Belafonte in 15.

I warned you about being in other people's cabins. You were supposed to go home.

I was hoping to go out in a flash of blazes, but I'll probably just end up going home.

I was only trying to defend myself.

I will kick your goddamned teeth out, is that understood?

I wonder how much I could get for it.

I wonder if it remembers me.

I would have named you Kingsley if I'd had a say in it.

I wrote you a letter about 17 years ago.

I'll have an intern come and fix the door.

I'll just catch as catch can.

I'll order you a red cap and a Speedo.

I'll write up a few words to read over him.

I'm about to blow my stack.

I'm disappointed in myself.

I'm going through some personal problems.

I'm going to fight it, but I'll let it live.

I'm going to scrap the article.

I'm gonna hit you so fucking hard, you'll be blind!

I'm gonna kill you for that, asshole!

I'm gonna miss you, too.

I'm gonna tell you something confidentially which won't be mentioned again.

I'm here with my wife. Eleanor, this is Mandeeza.

I'm Jane Winslett Richardson.

I'm just a character in your film.

I'm not crazy about it.

I'm not even going to ask what you men are doing out here

I'm not reading it to myself, I'm reading it to him.

I'm off to Zurich. Follow me, chaps.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who can say this, including Steve...

I'm sorry I never acknowledged your existence all those years.

I'm sorry that you think my red hat is, uh... What's the word you use? "Contrived."

I'm sorry, Ned. I should've scrapped this chopper ten years ago.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. How do you do?

I'm sorry. Shit.

I'm sure you'll make a terrific father.

I'm the reporter from the Oceanographic Explorer.

I'm trying to get out of the habit before I have my fucking baby.

I've always thought of you two as my dads.

I've heard of you.

I've never felt a baby in someone's stomach before.

I've never seen a bond company stooge stick his neck out like that.

I've never seen so many electric jellyfish in all my life.

I've never seen them mating before the solstice.

I've still got yours, of course.

If it actually exists.

If she wasn't a bull dyke, I think I might have a bit of a thing for her.

If we don't handle this right, we're gonna all get murdered,

If yes, do.

If you ever touch me again,

If you're not against me, don't cross this line.

If you're not sure about something, change the subject and look for me.

In 12 years, he'll be 11 and a half.

In case you want to wear it like a necklace.

In fact, I feel like... I don't know,

In other words, you fucked us.

In preparation for our voyage, the members of Team Zissou

In this market?

Including her unborn British child.

Interesting specimen.

Is everybody else safe? Anne Marie, are you OK?

Is he dead?

Is it loose?

Is it true that this is going to be your last voyage?

Is something wounded out there?

Is that a distress bark?

Is that a fact?

Is that a new merit badge?

Is that mating?

Is that one of mine? I think one of my research turtles survived.

Is that really true?

Is that thing rolling, Vikram?

Is the father out of the picture?

Is there a chemical inside the organism?

Is this my espresso machine?

It accounts for the expenses of the rescue, my time and that of my crew.

It could be the other way around. Anyway, we're gonna be on top of it in the morning.

It doesn't mean the same thing.

It doesn't say. Probably just trashed the place. I'm so... pissed, I wanna spit.

It is beautiful, Steve.

It sounds better.

It was coming right at us. I just said the first two words that came into my head.

It was in the paper. I assumed they... checked their facts.

It was locked. I kicked it in. Why don't you just curse, like other people?

It was working OK until late last night,

It won't happen again. I mean it.

It's a documentary. It's all really happening.

It's all I have with me.

It's an estimate. What's your dog's name?

It's because they're jealous.

It's been uninhabited ever since.

It's good to see you, Eleanor.

It's heading for the South Pacific.

It's my passport status, you see. I'm X 9 at the moment. Legally, I'm a fugitive.

It's not a bad impulse, though, some kind of nickname.

It's nothing personal.

It's safer to do what they say. They probably just want our money and jewels.

It's the effing cover.

It's the Steve Zissou show, not the Ned show.

It's the thing that puzzles me about Ned's situation.

It's wonderful. Very lifelike.

Ja?

Jane, is, uh, Ned in there?

Javier, te presento Steve.

Jesus Christ, Klaus.

Jesus.

Junior grade diving tech, executive producer.

Just because I've decided to save your neck

Just to make it easier for you.

Kingsley Ned Zissou, 29,

Kingsley.

Klaus Daimler, 40, engineer.

Klaus is right. The flag needs a Ned symbol.

Klaus, bring the dynamite.

Klaus, check who's on watch. I'll be in the sauna.

Klaus, come over here and get a two shot of me and Ned.

Klaus, Ogata, put out the deck fires before we sink.

Land ho! Port au Patois, dead ahead.

Larry Amin's flying back to Mecca tonight, to see if he can make the numbers work.

Larry and I were discussing our financial predicament.

Let me tell you about my boat.

Let's check it out.

Let's go to my island.

Let's have some teamsmanship.

Let's not cast stones at one another, my boy.

Let's not fuck with Larry Amin.

Let's start with the reverse.

Let's take up the whirlybird and see what we find, anyway.

Let's try track three against picture.

Letter from Jane.

Listen, I'm not leaving this message.

Look, Steve, I know we both like her

Lord Mandrake.

Made the best rum Cannonball I've ever tasted.

Man, I don't have any stature any more.

May I have a word with you, please?

May I interrupt for a moment?

Maybe I should've autorotated and performed a high bank during our descent.

Maybe this is nothing, maybe it's something.

Me, too, Ned.

Merci. Cedric.

Most likely not.

Mr Ubell, I'd like for you to know Steve Zissou and our equity partner Ned.

Much better, thank you. I'm back down to X 4.

My darling, we haven't made a hit documentary in nine years.

My first wife, Jacqueline, and I spent our honeymoon here.

My mother's Katherine Plimpton.

My what?

Nah. Either they can't hear us, or they don't understand.

Ned o, can you hear me?! We'll get you back, Billy.

Ned, come in here.

Ned, how many fingers am I holding up?

Ned, I don't know if I ever even saw the bastard.

Ned, wake up. I'm on the echo box. Push the red button to answer.

Ned, you're a scumbag.

Ned!

Ned?

Ned? Wanna come inside, we'll make up a room for you?

Ned's Theme, take one.

Never mind how I found out. I'm a scientist.

Next time, maybe you could let us know where you're at.

No exceptions. Everyone gets one.

No one here does. Klaus used to be a bus driver.

No, Captain.

No, goddammit. I'm only 52.

No, I can't give you full credit, but I'm not gonna flunk you, either.

No, I don't.

No, I dropped the camera.

No, I'll be able to figure it out.

No, I'm not. I told you these were unprotected waters.

No, I've never seen anything like it before in my life.

No, it doesn't, but it's a difficult question.

No, it was like a beat up little jalopy. I don't know what you'd call it.

No, it's in English. It was translated.

No, Ned. Actually, it's the reflection of the moonlight on their outer membranes.

No, they all share one.

No, wait. They might have another set. Just blow it up.

No, you're not. He doesn't have one.

No! Chewed. Check the scanning monitor!

No.

No. Congratulations, seriously.

No. We're out of dynamite, anyway.

No. Why?

Nobody else got hit? What's the deal?

Nobody knows what's going to happen, and then we film it.

Normally we would track the jaguar shark with the scanning monitor,

Not bad.

Not bad. The first take was a little faster.

Not if I don't see you first, sonny.

Now I must away. I'll send you a postcard.

Now I'm gonna go hunt down that shark, or whatever it is,

Now that they've found out I speak Filipino, they seem to be changing their minds.

Number one, the bank want a drug screen for everyone on the crew

Obviously people are gonna think I'm a showboat and a little bit of a prick,

Of course he took it.

Of course, I have a good excuse. I'm part gay.

Of course, Klaus. It was my pleasure.

Of course. Give me the address.

Of the command centre I've set up down here?

Ogata, give some first aid to Pele.

Oh, God, I don't know, Ross.

Oh, goddammit. I had it on the plane. What was I gonna say?

Oh, here comes our girl.

Oh, I dined with Eleanor last weekend.

Oh, my God, you're right. Stevesie, look...

Oh, no, we forgot Cody. We gotta go back.

Oh, shit, she's right.

Oh, shit. Swamp leeches.

Oh, shit. What do you want?

Oh, so you're gonna read that whole thing to yourself out loud.

Oh, that's all right. I don't wanna take up too much of your time.

Oh, what the hell is going on?

Oh, yeah? You mean the official photograph, where I'm doing this?

Oh, yeah. Hi.

Oh, you mean Esteban?

OK. Apparently they're taking a hostage. Obviously they've chosen Ned.

OK. That makes sense. Well, please clean up your room, anyway.

On our answering machine at Pescespada Island.

On the edge of being too old.

On the rocks?

One of my guys was supposed to do that.

One of the interns just fell down the stairs with the tracking processor.

One of you is already dead, after all.

Only ten minutes, actually. I was hired during the scene on the beach.

Only twice before have I had the good fortune to observe a "rubber tide",

Or if you want to, you can change the first part, too.

Or whatever it is that we're tracking, is in a trench on the far side of the reef.

Oseary, this is probably my son Ned. We just met.

Otherwise I look like kind of a daydream Johnny, you know?

Our colleague, Alistair Hennessey, and his crew are nowhere to be found.

Our paths should converge in less than four days.

Our senior statesman, my closest colleague for 27 years.

Our team included Esteban du Plantier, chief diver.

Our vault contains at least ten different currencies from all over the world,

Pele dos Santos, 30, safety expert.

Pele, bring us back down, please.

People say a lot of things. What kind of cat was it?

People say she's the brains behind Team Zissou.

People say, when someone says something like that about you

Perhaps. We're extremely well insured. I'll probably come out ahead.

Play the black jack on the red queen.

Please don't hurt him!

Please don't let anyone make fun of me for saying so.

Please don't make fun of me. I just wanted to flirt with you.

Please stop, Eleanor. Eleanor, stop.

Port au Patois. Port au Patois ho!

Possibly give you the front cover,

Pour it over here, please. He doesn't know anything about wine.

Probably the same dudes.

Probably wouldn't have made any difference, though.

Quiet out there tonight.

Quiet.

Really?

Really? What do you got?

Remind me to send Eleanor's parents a thank you note

Remind me, we'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

Renzo Pietro, 45, editor, soundman.

Revenge.

Right now, I'm not really scared of anything.

Right?

Right? Ho!

Run and get some hot milk and put these guys in the incubator.

Run downstairs, put a tarp over anything that says "Hennessey" on it.

Saint Paul said to the Corinthians:

Say bon voyage.

Say, how's Team Zissou holding up without her?

Screw it. Sell it for scrap along with the boat and the submarines. I'm going home.

See you in the morning.

See you...

See, for me to meet a guy like you at this time in my life...

See, Renzo, this is what I'm talking about a relationship subplot.

See, this represents the Belafonte. And here's Pescespada Island,

She didn't really love me.

She had ovarian cancer, then it spread to her stomach and liver,

She never contacted me, you know.

She took her own life. She took sleeping pills.

She was...

She's a rich bitch, you know. She was raised by maids.

She's the new head of the film society.

Shouldn't we give him to the authorities or something?

Shut up before you jinx us, Anne Marie.

So do be nice to this girl Miss Winslett Richardson, won't you?

So especially enamoured of their imagined blue."

So how's your father son relationship coming along?

So I thought I would ask if... What? No.

So we can do an assembly while we're shooting.

So you are leaving.

So you were reading to each other in French?

So... effed up.

So... you really think you're a Zissou?

Some of the most technologically advanced equipment on the ship.

Somebody pay for this water taxi.

Something ate Esteban, didn't it? Now lead!

Something popped up there, didn't it?

Son of a bitch. I'm sick of these dolphins.

Sorry about that. You caught me with one foot off the merry go round tonight.

Sorry to interrupt, but we got the scanning monitor up. Looks like the jaguar shark,

Sorry, Steve. Everything just got too weird, that's all.

Steve, I'd like to introduce you to Antonia Cook.

Steve, I'm not even that strong a swimmer.

Steve, that reporter called.

Steve, there's a bloke over there wants a word with you.

Steve, this is my little nephew Werner.

Steve, we think you got crazy eye.

Steve, what produces this effect of illumination?

Steve, would you please open the door?

Steve?

Steve? Steve? Where's Esteban?

Steve.

Steve...

Steve's got a little bit of a thing for you.

Stevesie, what's happening? Are those hijackers?!

Stevesie?

Stop crying. What's the deal here?

Supposedly, everyone is.

Sure, there's some pretty country in those parts. Landlocked.

Take it, Ned.

Tell me, who knocked up the reporter?

Tell them if they don't get off my boat right now, there's gonna be a major shit storm.

Thank you for putting me on the flag, Ned.

Thank you for understanding. I'll check in with the Louisville office again next month.

Thanks for bringing that up.

Thanks, Eleanor.

Thanks. I wish it didn't require the "seriously", but thank you.

Thanks. I'll use them.

Thanks. Thanks a lot for not picking me.

That he could really be my actual... biological son...

That man was damn rude. He can go straight to hell.

That pregnant slut's been playing us like a cheap fiddle.

That rare occurrence when hundreds of electric jellyfish

That was a goddamn tearjerker. Why did you cut it, man?

That was all off the record, cubbie, that whole deal.

That was my favourite age.

That was one of the most dramatic things that's ever happened on this boat.

That was the sludge tanker, but...

That would take four hours. Why would you do that?

That you'd known about me since the day I was born.

That you'll not kill that shark, or whatever it is,

That's a fact.

That's a very good ad lib.

That's an endangered species at most.

That's Cedric. He's a friend.

That's Esteban.

That's good. Try it. What were you gonna say before?

That's it. I'm gonna fight you, Steve.

That's it. I'm retired.

That's OK.

That's so arrogant. That's... Screw off.

That's the one.

That's true.

That's what it used to be like.

That's your first question? I thought this was supposed to be a puff piece.

The Belafonte was a long range subhunter during the Second World War,

The first thing that goes through a captain's head when there's low morale is:

The members of Team Zissou find ways to keep morale high.

The memory of those bright eyes would at once present itself to me as a vivid azure."

The old man.

The sauna was designed by an engineer from the Chinese space program,

The script girl uses these for continuity.

The sugar crabs are back.

The white button? OK.

Then eaten alive, screaming?

There are others that were here before that.

There goes Ned's inheritance.

There used to be a four star hotel on Little Ping.

There you go. That's them.

There's a good chance he's on one of the Ping Islands.

There's a pen.

There's chemistry between us, you know?

There's some real high tech gear inside this deal, believe me.

There's something in the coat check.

These pirates are monsters.

They made soup of my research turtles.

They made these for about... three and a half years

They were in there after all! Run! Go! Move now!

They're early this year.

They're fine, but... I'm not coming back.

Things are pretty different now.

This bull dyke's got something against us.

This entire article was my idea. No one else gives a shit.

This gizmo's out of juice.

This guy's a big time asshole. We were roommates at the academy.

This is bullshit.

This is Captain Hennessey. We've come in response to your distress signal...

This is Captain Hennessey. You have trespassed on a private facility.

This is gonna hurt.

This is more than the budget of my project.

This is my mentor, Lord Mandrake. He's dead now.

This is the first time Eleanor's ever cried in front of me.

This is the kitchen, which contains probably

This is the message we received earlier

This is the observation bubble, which I thought up in a dream, actually.

This never would've happened if Eleanor was with us.

This one was my son.

This sucks.

This was to be our most ambitious adventure to date,

Those are Vietcong man of wars.

Those fucking amateurs. You left your dog, you idiots.

Three, you must swear, legally swear,

Three...

Throw on your slob and meet me on the beach in 12 minutes.

Thursday? OK.

To accompany us as unpaid interns in exchange for school credit.

To call his bluff, dammit, to light a fire under his ass.

To isolate their sense of colour."

To swim under the hull and give us a look.

Today, we discover one of its victims off the coast of Ping 3.

Topside we've got the bridge, the minisub, an old chopper

Trump

Trying to railroad me. Why don't you see if you can get one of these dolphins

Turn on your tape recorder.

Two albino scouts swim with the ship.

Two, a stooge from the bond company

Two...

Uh, approximately...

Uh, what is this, Pele?

Unless maybe that's a cop out.

Vice president of the Zissou Society.

Vikram got some great footage of your boat. I guess it's totalled?

Vikram, get some cutaways of this miracle.

Wait a second. They stole my budget, my boat's broken,

Wait a second. What are we doing? You said cross the line if...

Wait. Hold it.

Wake up, Ned o! I'm sorry I yelled at you.

Was it a deliberate choice never to show the jaguar shark?

Watch me. I'll let you know when I'm gonna move.

We chose its mysterious waters as the Belafonte's next destination.

We examine the site but are careful not to disturb forensic evidence. How was that?

We fucking stole it, man.

We go your way, that's about... 4 inches. We go my way, it's an inch and a half.

We got about 25 30 minutes before the Coast Guard gets here to arrest us.

We gotta watch ourselves around this Jane character.

We just met yesterday.

We might get the chance to adopt Ned. I think he would've wanted it that way.

We might've crashed a little softer.

We proceed to the more advanced system located on a colleague's offshore facility.

We process our own rushes and keep a cutting room on board

We radio for the emergency transport of our rare beautiful new friends.

We start the voyage home in our wounded vessel.

We thought they were extinct. Her ankle's broken.

We were like that bloody shark of yours. We swam with the, um, uh...

We will land at dawn.

We'd also invited marine science students from the University of North Alaska

We'll meet on the beach.

We'll temp it with that, anyway.

We're a dying breed.

We're being led on an illegal suicide mission by a selfish maniac.

We're gonna hunt down these sickos.

We're gonna put him on the map, Eleanor.

We're gonna throw him a life preserver.

We're producing a film, as a matter of fact. Who are you?

We've never made great husbands, have we?

Well, damn you for that.

Well, he's probably right. Most of us have been together a long time.

Well, he's right here.

Well, how did he first contact you?

Well, I must say, nothing's jumping to mind.

Well, I think you hurt his feelings, but...

Well, I was a little embarrassed at first.

Well, I was in love with him at the time.

Well, I...

Well, I'm also a human being.

Well, I'm very pleased you liked it.

Well, I'm... five months pregnant. My editor's the father.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go on an overnight drunk,

Well, maybe it's just me, but I don't feel like that person.

Well, nobody has a real lock on any of this, so I don't know how it all times out.

Well, thanks for checking in, Bill.

Well, that was only part one. It's a cliffhanger.

Well, uh...

Well, we call them "pirates" out here, Ned.

Well, we're not 100% sure about that yet.

Well, you did a great job.

Well, you get the idea. Anyway, take care of yourself. Jane.

Whack on the echo box.

What a fuckin' nightmare.

What a shame. They had a bartender here, Keno,

What about Si Perlman?

What am I doing here?

What are you calling it? Leopard fish?

What are you doing here? I thought you interns ran out.

What are you doing? I ordered the wine.

What are you gonna do with him?

What happened? Did we hit something?

What I have a problem with is some wombat coming on my boat,

What is Steve?

What kind of piece are you writing, cubbie?

What sort of expression is the lad wearing on his face?

What the F are you doing in here?

What the fuck are you doing in here?

What the hell is going on in here with the wiring?

What would be the scientific purpose of killing it?

What?

What? We're smack in the middle of a lightning strike rescue op, Klaus.

What'd you say?

What's that sound? Is that...?

What's that stand for over there?

What's that?

When did you learn Zissou was your father?

When you're at sea.

Where are you?

Where you coming from, jack off? Shit.

Where?

Where'd you come from? You look pregnant.

Where's Cody?

Where's your gun?

Where's your symbol, Ned?

Which was what struck one most forcibly on first meeting her,

Whisper it in my ear first.

Who gives a shit? I think it was a tabby.

Who the shit is Kingsley Zissou?

Who told you that?

Who you gonna kill in part two?

Who? Ned?

Who's gonna tell us the Latin names of all the fishes and everything?

Whoa! No!

Why are they laughing?

Why are you doing this? He's not my father, you know. I don't have that.

Why aren't you getting this?

Why did you abandon Ned?

Why didn't you contact me?

Why do you say that?

Why would she do that?

Why? How do you feel about part one of my new film?

Will be riding everywhere during the whole shoot to keep you on budget.

Will you write to me?

With a complete first edition set of The Life Aquatic Companion Series.

Wolodarsky was a high school substitute teacher.

Wolodarsky, go get the keys to that fishing boat and throw them in the water.

Wolodarsky, you got something?

Wolodarsky.

Would it be possible for me to address you as "Dad" in this scene?

Would that amount make any difference?

Would you like to join my crew?

Wow. No comment.

Wow. That's a rough ticket.

Wrap this stiff in a tablecloth. We're gonna bury him at sea.

Yeah, as a matter of fact, it is.

Yeah, he's charismatic.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, I think I know what you mean.

Yeah, looks good.

Yeah, more or less standard boilerplate, I guess.

Yeah, then how am I gonna finish my movie, then? Jesus. Holy fuck.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah. It's probably kind of dated, isn't it?

Yeah. Let's make a dive at 6am, scope out the phantom signal.

Yes, I do. Tell me now.

Yes, I see.

Yes, it is.

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, sir, and McKinnon's willing to take over my shuttle flights.

Yes.

Yes. But we got him started again pretty quickly.

Yes. The insignia.

Yes. What's next for Team Zissou?

You are my son to me.

You better bet your ass we did. All right, everybody,

You call yourself my son, but...

You catching anything?

You convinced me to stay and finish the story.

You cry easily, don't you?

You don't know me. You never wanted to know me.

You don't know what it is?

You don't look too good.

You got any petty cash on you?

You have the Bernstein 9. Just upgraded last summer.

You heard me. Not this one.

You hung us out to dry.

You just smile and act natural, and then you sucker punch him.

You know I can't remember all that shit.

You know I'm not big on apologizing, so I'll just skip it, if it's all the same to you.

You know, Ali, I don't want to give away the ending.

You know, Cubbie's kind of a suckermaker,

You know, favourite colour... blue. Favourite food... sardines.

You know, my best friend just got killed. Esteban.

You know, my first wife left me when I was your age.

You know...

You let him change your name?

You mean like a fan letter?

You mean you're not even gonna write the cover story on me?

You mind if I stay and listen for a little while?

You never say, "I'm gonna fight you."

You OK, Ned? You OK?

You read it. What did you think?

You ready, Vikram?

You really think it's cool to hit the sauce when you got a bun in the oven?

You said, "Not this one, Klaus."

You say it is a jaguar shark. That's the title of your film.

You still want to blow him up?

You think that's what this is about? Shit, what has that bull dyke been telling you?

You think you'll want to change your name?

You travelled a long way for "I don't know", sonny.

You travelled over 150 miles since we last heard from you.

You wanna go up in my balloon?

You were probably right all along. We should've had a kid together.

You were supposed to be on watch, by the way.

You'll hear from us... sometime.

You're a good writer, Jane.

You're A squad.

You're all getting "incompletes".

You're back on the water, boys. The wire transfer came through from Kentucky,

You're ditchin' me up the creek. What am I supposed to do here?

You're gonna miss the jaguar shark or whatever it is if it actually exists.

You're jumping ship on me.

You're kidding.

You're not listening! I didn't just like it...

You're not supposed to go into each other's cabins on a boat.

You're taking something out on me.

You're the most ravishing creature that I've ever seen in my life.

Your cat's dead.

Your engine blew up and your fuel's been stolen.

1, 2, 3.

A piss test? Yes, a piss test.

Ah, well, it's good to see you. How's your passport status?

Air Kentucky. Copilot, actually.

Are you all right? Not really.

Are you sure? Yes, I am.

Are you two fighting? I'll deal with you later.

Did you get my message? Yeah. It was kinda garbled.

Do you have a vault? They wanna know. There's no vault.

Do you hear me, dammit? Do you? No, I don't!

Doubles. Explain it to him, will you, Eleanor?

Edward Plimpton. That's a million times better.

Esteban was bitten? Eaten!

Esteban was eaten. He was swallowed whole?

First thing in the morning, huh? Just print everything?

Fluorescent snapper. What? Really? What's that?

Good luck, Stevesie. Fantastic. Let's go.

Happy with the piece, Jane? What are you doing in here?

He needs this deal. OK, bring him over.

He was your mentor. Hey, intern, get me a Campari, will ya?

He's been kidnapped. That's true. I have to rescue him first.

He's Steve's son, supposedly. You are?

Hello, skinny. Hello, Eleanor.

Here. Oh, no, no, no.

Here's a quote. Wait. Who from?

How are you feeling? I'm right on the edge.

How is she? She died last month.

How you doing, Werner? He brought you a present.

I believe in this boy. Why?

I can't find them. Once again, please.

I don't think I can do that. Why not?

I have some ideas. You mean the patch?

I like her hairdo. Me too, but Steve called it first.

I told you how to play it! Bloody hell. Listen here, mate...

I was down here packing. You're at the wrong breaker.

I'll take five, Steve. How about taking five?

I'm so sorry. So am I.

I'm sorry I made you cry the other day. Oh.

Is it the jaguar shark? On the record, yes.

Is that him? That's him, Klaus.

Is that him? That's him.

It looks like a goddamn typhoon hit it. Oh, get out.

It's too painful. What do you want me to say?

Ja. Wait. This isn't the procedure.

Jaguar shark. Jaguar shark, exactly.

Klaus, don't call me sonny. One more thing.

Klaus, pirates? No.

Klaus. Klaus? Ja.

Like this? Just like that.

Lord Mandrake. You should have opened with that one.

May I turn this on? Fire one.

Maybe it's my hormones. That makes sense.

Necesito cinco minutos. I'd be jealous about you staying at Ali's

Ned Zissou? Ned Zissou. Exactly.

Ned. Hey, Stevesie.

Now I owe you one. No. Now we're even.

Of course you said no. I let you call me Stevesie.

Ogata? Yeah.

on the good correspondence stock. OK.

Put that down. I assume I'm Mr Z.

Screwdriver. He understands.

Should we come back to it? Yeah.

So what do you do? I'm a pilot. Air Kentucky.

So what happened, in your opinion? What are you talking about?

So you heard me? You're too old for me, Steve.

Steve! Esteban!

Steve! What?

Steve... Shit turnout tonight.

Steve... what are you... I said get your ass the hell off of my boat!

Thanks, man. Your luck had better change soon, mate.

Thanks. Although it does put you both

That's none of your business. OK. Are you?

That's poetry? No, it's a six volume novel.

That's the whole concept. That's how we've always done it.

The answer's yes. Well, it's got to be.

The king's backing him now. I got $500 million capitalisation from him.

They're going to kill us, Steve. I'm patting you on the back now, Klausy.

Too many to tell. How many fingers... He's gonna be just fine.

Wanna kill this? Frankly, I'd better not.

Was I just in the film? Yeah. You have to sign a release.

We'll find a way, mate. I know we will.

Well, good night, I guess. Oh, good night.

Well, I'm honest, you know, so... Just say it.

Well, we changed it together. What was it before?

Well, you're pregnant. Can I have a word with you privately?

What about my dynamite? Phillip, dynamite.

What about this guy? Just throw him over the other side.

What are you talkin' about? We're even, dammit. That's it!

What is it? Zissou shoots blanks.

What is she, Steve? A wild snow mongoose.

What line? The line I drew on the deck just now.

What? Where are you going? Abroad for a spell, my darling.

What? Which one? Marmalade.

What? Why? I have to start locking my effing door.

What's Deep Search? My submarine.

What's the deal? I'm sick of being on B squad.

Who locked us out? No one. We're trespassing.

Who? Hello, Vikram.

Who's that dude? It's my research assistant, Javier.

Who's the stooge? A chap by the name of Bill Ubell.

Why not? It's just kind of an unwritten maritime rule

Why would I do that? Because you're a bond company stooge.

Why'd you do that? I owed you one.

Would I like to... I want you on Team Zissou.

Would you have gone along with me? He was 30, Steve.

Yeah, I don't know that one. We hub out of Louisville.

Yeah, tell him to push it a stop and a half. OK.

Yeah, we're taking the shortcut. But it's outside IMU jurisdiction.

You didn't see it? I didn't see it, boss.

You hear me? Yes, I do.

You just said it was off the record. But you didn't know that.

You must be so excited. I hope so. You think it went OK?

You stood up for yourself. I still owed you one.

You understand? Yes, I do. Thank you, Klaus.

You wanna pay for the extra gas? What kind of system is this?

You weren't up there? No.

You're kidding. No.

You're supposed to be my son, right? I don't know.

Zissou here. Oseary Drakoulias on line two.
