Then why is her room cleared out? I don �t know. She went for a walk. You don �t know? What do I pay you idiots for if you don �t know anything? I never left the front desk. She was just taking a walk. But now she �s gone. Along with her luggage, right? Right? Did you say anything to her? -No. I �m not stupid. She still owes me this month �s rent, 500. Who �s going to pay that now? Want me to tell you? I �m deducting it from your wages, half each. You got that? C �mon, let �s go! Why you back so soon? Pack your things! We gotta go. Why? -l �ll explain later. Where we going? To a hotel, I have no idea. Does he suspect? -Yes. That �s the problem. Please hurry up.
They �re coming. Who �s coming? Who do you think? Hurry up please! The taxi is waiting. What we do now? C �mon, let �s grab some breakfast. I �m scared. Nothing can go wrong. I have bad feeling. Better to not do it. Only idiots without a plan get caught. I know a guy who... Anything else? Nothing can go wrong. Don �t be scared! I don �t want to wait here. It won �t take long, just a few hours. I come with you. Tamara, that �s silly, you can �t help me. I wait outside. Tamara, why? It �s silly. Nothing can go wrong. I go in, they give me the money, and we split. But you must not shoot. I can �t shoot, it �s not loaded. How many times do I have to say it? -Promise! It �s not loaded.
Not loaded. Now what? We do it. Nothing can go wrong. I �ll be right back. On floor! All. On floor! On floor! All. There too. Faster! Now, on floor! Morning. This is a no standing zone. You �ll have to leave. But if you go to the main square, there �s plenty of parking there. My boyfriend be right back. Where is your boyfriend? Had to make shopping. Do you have some id, maybe a passport? My boyfriend also has. Where are you from? Ukraine. And your boyfriend? I don �t know. What, you don �t know? Are you crazy? On floor! -l won �t hurt you.
Please. He fired. Calling all units, bank robbery at the Volksbank. One suspect, armed... Gföhl twenty here, come in please. Gföhl twenty, come in please. He just opened fire. Shattered our rear window. Don �t be scared. They won �t catch us. Tamara, what �s wrong? What is it? Did he hit you? Say something! Isn �t anyone here? Ah, it �s you. Sleeping in broad daylight? No, I felt a little dizzy, so I lay down. Here to chop wood already? Yeah. I wanted to, but my motorcycle broke down. What do you mean broke down? The engine died. So I came through the woods on foot. You want some schnapps? No. Can you lend me your car? My car? I have to go to Vienna, straighten things out. My car?
I don �t know. Take care of things. I won �t be long, a few hours. I �ll be back tonight. What �s wrong with the engine? What �s wrong? What? What could be wrong? How should I know? Nothing, everything �s fine. Dinner �s almost ready. C �mon, Robert, tell me. What? -Something �s wrong, I can tell. C �mon, out with it. It �s nothing special, rough day, that �s all. Bank robbery. What, in our village? They got away with almost 50,000 euros. My goodness! I ran into them by chance and ... tried to detain them, but ... they jumped in the car and were gone. You ran into them? By chance. Were they armed? Oh my gosh. It �s not that bad. We �ll catch them eventually. You ran into armed suspects, and you didn �t tell me until now? Nothing happened. Were there a lot of them?
A man and a woman. OK, you ran into them, and did they threaten you? Let �s drop it. I �m glad to be off-duty now. And like I said, nothing happened. I �ll get it. Kargl, hello? Yes, he �s here. Robert, it �s for you. Yes? Yes, I �ll be right there. ln about 25 minutes. Yes, alright. What happened? I have to go to the state police office. Now? Why? They found the getaway car. You have to go to the city for that? I �ll explain it to you later. Yes, that was her. No doubt in your mind? And who is she? No lD on her. I doubt she was even registered. Maybe they argued about money, and the bank robber shot her. From behind? Through the rear window? With a Glock? No. I aimed at the tires.
Yeah, shit happens. You have a visitor today? Yes, Alex. He �s chopping wood. We met once. -Really? Yes, briefly at the farm, in the doorway. You must be glad. -Yep. Hear about the robbery yesterday? What robbery? They robbed the bank. Our bank? Robert ran into them, just imagine! He tried to detain them. They were armed. I hate to think about it. -Robert? Was he hurt? -No, thank God. There was a casualty, I �ll tell you tomorrow when I pick you up. I like these best. is her husband a policeman? We need butter too. Are you coming with us tomorrow? -Where? It �s Sunday. No, I �ll keep working. It sure wouldn �t hurt you. I �m going for a walk.
It �ll be dark soon. -Doesn �t matter. He thinks it �s normal to go for a walk in the dark. Now they are investigating the use of firearms, checking whether it was justified... Of course it was! And they filed a complaint. Against you? Who did? District police office. For what? Manslaughter. The nerve of them! You risk your life and they file a complaint! Your own people. That �s the system. A fine system! Do they know who they were? Still no leads. Foreigners. Russians or Poles. Maybe illegal aliens. She might have been a prostitute. Good riddance! He doesn �t show it, but it �s a huge strain. No wonder, she �s dead. It �s awful. He thinks about it constantly. I �ll be right back. Don �t let him get to you, He has no idea. What?
Your dad doesn �t see how hard this is. Yeah, you know how he is. I �m just cooling some beer. We �re almost out of mineral water too. Besides, it �s not that bad. So she �s dead. What was I supposed to do? It was just bad luck. There �s nothing you can do. You know him. Just let him talk. I �ll get dessert. -Fine. You know who I ran into? Sylvia Staudacher. She has twins. Girls. They are so cute. Yes, they �re adorable. What about you? What could be better for the two of you right now! It wasn �t meant to be. -House is done. You �re over 30, the perfect age. Yes, Mama, we �re trying, but you can �t force it. It would get Robert �s mind off... Yes, I know. We want kids. It �s highly unlikely, if you want to know the truth. Why?
You were just pregnant. Incredible luck, apparently. A fluke. I can �t believe that. Did you get tested? And what �s the problem? It �s not me. Then what, Robert? Now that I really can �t believe! He �s so athletic. Hi. That �s quite a pile! You �ll need a month for that I reckon. A week. -Really, just a week. I get tired just looking at that pile. Where is Hausner? Isn �t he inside? I didn �t check. Bet he �s glad someone �s helping him. I feel sorry for him alone on the farm. Here he is. You �re here already. Then let �s go. He �s not coming, born and bred a heathen. Be glad he �s doing your work for you. I don �t know if I can still play. No fair, you have to play now. You promised. It �s been so long.
Some things you never forget. Hausner is going to play for us. He really played up a storm. Hasn �t been that happy for ages, he �s like a new man. I think he enjoys having someone on the farm. Are you staying a while? No, just long enough to finish the firewood. I guess I �ll be going. Have fun. Fun... Good luck. Your husband doesn �t go to church? He doesn �t hold much stock in it, he �d rather run his route. His route? To the pond and back. Every day. Hi. I �m playing again. Do you miss her? The work alone! It �s depressing alright. But I �ll see her again. It won �t be long now. You �ll see her again? She �s waiting. Why didn �t you call? Call? Why should I? It �s past 1 a.m., I didn �t know where you were. Well, nothing happened.
I still get worried. I was with the other officers. We were talking. I lost track of time. About what? -l �m sorry. Talking about what? What did you talk about? Nothing special. About work and what happened. You talk to the other men, why not to me? You don �t understand anyway. Maybe if you talked to me I would. Besides, the men know it was an accident. Bad luck. And I don �t know that? Then why do you look at me that way? What? How do I look at you? You think I can �t tell what you �re thinking? You think I can �t tell? What am I thinking? That I shot her. I can tell you think it �s my fault. What? You want to talk? Want me to justify myself? Even though you don �t believe me. You weren �t really serious in there, were you? You �re right, forget it. You don �t really believe that �s what I think.
You �re right. Are you coming to bed? I �m just going to finish my beer. The apples are just about ripe too. Here, taste this. Well? Like it? Yeah, not bad. The best winter apples far and wide. Who are you playing for? When Hausner gets started, there �s no stopping him. She brought us a cake. Did you scare me! Hausner wouldn �t let me go. It �s great he �s playing again. It �s what he loves most. What do you want from us? What do you mean? Nothing. Why do you come here? What do you want? I figure it makes him happy. I feel sorry for him on the farm all alone... He �s not alone anymore. You act like we know each other. Do we know each other? No. We don �t know each other. And it �s better that way. Well aren �t you uncouth!
You �re turning things upside down. I want you to leave us alone. Cake, music, dance, tralala, I don �t want it. I don �t want you coming back. Do you think that �s possible? Then come to my house. I �ll be alone tonight. If you want. Wait till it �s dark, come around the back so no one sees you. If you want. You didn �t chicken out. Come in. I wouldn �t be surprised if you were surprised at me. I �m surprised at myself. Glass of wine? White or red? I �ve got both. Whatever. I prefer white, red makes you sleepy. White perks you up. White �s OK. Be right back. New bottle. It wasn �t full, though. Not that you think... Sit. Make yourself comfortable. I �ll be right back. Well, I hope you like it. I think it �s quite good.
It �s our house wine. Well then, cheers! Have a seat. Nice house. Thanks. lt turned out nice. Do cops earn this much? No, I �ve got the store, double income. We did a lot ourselves, Robert and his friends, that is. And we got money from our parents and the bank. It owns half the house, the upstairs floor. But that �s OK. It �s just for a few years. Everything neat. Clean. Tip top. Yeah, you know, you want it to be cozy. Have a seat. Nice house. Good husband. Everything perfect. Exactly as it should be. You must be happy. Yes, I guess. Sure, I can �t complain. So why do you want to fuck me? I guess it was a stupid idea. I didn �t really think that far, sorry. Wait. -For what? Can I take a shower?
-Upstairs on the right. Another glass of wine? Yeah. How cozy! Why are you doing this? Are you bored with your cop already? No, he �s my husband. I just wanted to. What does your God have to say? He understands. A very understanding God. What is it? Can �t you just be friendly? Will you lose face acting like a normal person? What happened to you? Do you have kids? No. But you have a nursery upstairs. But we don �t have any. I �ll be going. Why are you this way? What did anyone do to you? Be glad you don �t know everything. Will you come again? You sure can work. Got to give you credit for that. You should get married. A man needs a woman or he gets potty. You �ll find one easily the way you work. You think chopping wood impresses women?
They notice a man who can work. Won �t be any different nowadays. Hello. -Hi. What �s wrong? Just dizzy. Does this happen often? Yeah, sometimes. Can you hand me the bag balm? It works wonders for headaches. You have headaches too? All the time. You should go in for a checkup. Doctors don �t know anything either. But it can �t hurt. I don �t need a doctor for a little headache. You �re a stubborn old fool. You �re a stubborn fool yourself. Who will look after the cows and the farm? I �m not leaving. They can carry me out in the end. It won �t be my problem anymore. But until then, I �m not budging. Till the end. Till the end. Alone today? How �s Hausner? He �s OK. Tell him I said hi. I �ll be alone again tonight.
Hey Robert, c �mon! Let �s drink to my son. Give him a glass, would you? Congratulations. -Thanks! 20.5 inches, 6.8 lbs, black hair. Here, have a drink. -l �m on duty. Stop taking everything so seriously. Pass me my glass! Thanks. He came at 3 yesterday. Took forever. You were there the whole time? -Of course. You �re always scaring me. Come in, what if someone sees you? I was sure you weren �t coming. Good thing I didn �t bet anything. Have you always been a lone wolf, coming and going... Sorry, but that �s my impression of you. No. Not always. Will you go back to Vienna when you �re done? You have a girlfriend? I know nothing about you. I had one until recently. It �s over? What happened? She was murdered.
What? She was murdered. Oh my goodness. -And the man who did it ... lives on. Just like always. He couldn �t care less. That can �t be true. -But it is. He goes on living his life. And she is dead. And all I ever think about is that I have to change that. He can �t simply go on living. You wanted to know what �s wrong, now you know. You can �t do that. You mustn �t even think it. What? Killing someone out of vengeance. I know you don �t believe, but it �s a sin. You mustn �t do it. Now I understand you. That �s why you �re so cold. So brutal. Cold? You mustn �t do it. Promise me. Now I understand you. C �mon. You have to go, Robert came home. Find your way out. Don �t let him see you.
Maybe he �d like to meet me. Please don �t. Please go. Don �t ruin everything. Please go. Why are you home already? What �s wrong? Robert, what happened? They gave me a leave of absence. Leave of absence? I �m unfit for duty. The counselor said it �s perfectly normal. It �s a normal reaction to the events. Sure it is. And he said I might need psychological help. I �m not sick, it �s normal. It �s how anyone would react. That �s absolutely right. I aimed at the tires. -Everyone knows you did. I normally hit my mark, I don �t know how this could happen. It was just bad luck. Bad luck. Why am I plagued with bad luck? Why can �t l do anything right? I think a psychologist is a good idea. And I can �t stop looking at the damn photo. I don �t understand, it couldn �t have been me. What photo? Of the woman.
You have a photo of her? Where did you get this? I aimed at the tires. You shouldn �t have this. Shouldn �t be looking at it. I �m going to throw it away now. OK? I �m throwing the photo away. What �s wrong? I �m OK now. You belong in bed. Yeah, maybe. I �ll be fine tomorrow. You need a checkup. At a hospital. Things will fall apart if I �m not here. Everything will go to ruin. Nothing will go to ruin. I �ll stay here. I �ll keep an eye on everything. You �ll stay here? I �m not going to any hospital. They never let you out again, and then they put you in a home. I �m staying on the farm. They can carry me out. You �re not dying yet. Rest a little. We �ll go in a bit. I �ll feed the cows in the meantime. Hello.
Hi. You �re Hausner �s grandson, right? -Yeah. And? How do you like it here? Not too exciting, is it? Pretty dead compared to the city. No, it �s fine. Nice spot here. Aren �t you the cop who shot that woman? How do you know that? People talk. And it was in the paper too. Yes. That �s me. Must be a heavy experience. Wouldn �t want to go through it again. You aimed at him, the bank robber, I guess. Am I right? I aimed at the tires. Wanted to. Yeah, but I don �t understand. They �re much lower. You must have aimed higher for that to happen. It all went so fast. I don �t understand it myself. Aren �t you scared of him? -Scared? Why? You killed his girl.
What if he tracked you down and wanted to shoot you? Out of vengeance. Let him. Let him. But there �s one thing I �d ask him. What? Why he took her along in the first place. She wasn �t driving, wasn �t helping him escape. He went into the bank alone. It doesn �t make sense. Why did he take her as if it were an outing? The whole mess happened because she was there for no reason. That �s what I �d ask him. Bye. Dinner is ready. What �s all this? Are we celebrating something? Yes, maybe. I have to tell you something. It �s still too early, and I �m not positive, but I have the feeling... I think it finally worked. What? Guess. What, you really think so? That you �re pregnant? Yes. Hello? Anyone here? Ah, someone �s here after all. Where is Hausner? It �s Sunday.
Hospital. What �s wrong with him? We don �t know. Tests. Poor man. You �re staying till they know? Someone has to. I wanted to talk to you. -Yeah? Come in. Let �s hear it. You ran into Robert at the pond. Please never tell him what we did. Why should I? -Promise me. Swear it. I swear. We shouldn �t see each other anymore. It was great and electrifying, but we shouldn �t do it anymore. I mean if we meet by chance - perfectly normal. But I think it �s better this way. Who �s that? The girl I told you about. Were you there when... When she died? That was you? What? You robbed the bank? What will you do now? Stay here if they don �t catch me.
As long as he �s still around. I have to go now. Please don �t tell him what happened. Don �t worry. I have to go now. Translation: Kimi Lum (Sizzling) (Woman) Stop that! (Boy ) Stop what? I'm not doing anything. (Slap) (Boy ) Ow! (Woman) Serves you right. (Woman) Will you cut that out? (Boy ) I can't help myself. You're as sneaky as your father was. He was the tomato thief of all time. - I know what you're doing. - I'm hungry. Let me finish dinner before you eat it. Chop these. Sorry, fellas. Oh, Mom, tomorrow night we're going with Tiffany to buy a Christmas tree. OK, but a small one. Watch your fingers. No way, a big one. Ow! Shit!
- Are you OK? - Yeah, it adds flavour. (Phone ) - Hello? - We don't want any. Thea who? I know it's Thea Brody. How many grandkids do I have? - (Girl) 'I can call by myself.' - I know. You're a big girl. - 'I'm five now, Grandma.' - I know you're five. Hi, kiddo. How're you doin' down there? 'I'm fine, Uncle Sean.

Thanks! ' Ask the big doctor about his job. Tough life, you Bahamian beach bum. 'I heard that.' - He heard that. - Good. Hey, how come you get to leave early? Cos my desk is closer to the door. - (Sean) A big one. - No, your brother won't be here. - Merry Christmas! - Merry Christmas, Jim. - Eggnog time Thursday night! - We'll be there. We are getting a big tree for all the old ornaments... - With stockings on the mantle... - And cookies and beer for Santa. All right! Tiffany, do you realise what a madman you're marrying? Yes, I do. - I gotta check in. - OK. - See you. Love you. - Bye. Me, too. - (Ellen) Don't be late! - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (Slams shut)
That bad, huh? We're out of decaf, petty cash and requisition forms. Anything to do before I go? That man keeps calling about his training film. He won't believe we don't have a SWAT team. (Phone ) Good night, Polly! Amity Police Department. (Door closes) Hold it! There's an old dock piling in the channel. Maybe it'll just keep on drifting till it goes away? - It's stuck on a channel marker. - Good night, Polly. (Door closes) Uh-huh. It... Hold it! It has to be cleared before the fishermen come back. Where's Lenny? Out to Ben Master's place. Cow tipping. Cow tipping? Says kids tip over his sleeping cows. They're not givin' milk. OK, I'll take care of it. Deputy Brody will take care of it personally. Call home, tell 'em I'll be late. - Uh-huh. - Cow tipping!
# The first Noel # The angels did say # Was to certain poor shepherds # In fields as they lay... # - No, no, no, no! Hold it! - # In fields... # Hold it! Together, people! Together, remember? All right. Let's try it again. Two, three. # (Band intro ) # Where the hell are the Wise Men? Good luck, Harry. I'm gonna need it with this bunch. Sounds better than when I was a shepherd. (Harry ) Joseph, where the hell is your robe? You're supposed to be in costume! Jesus! I'm over here! # In fields as they lay # In fields where they # Lay keeping their sheep # On a cold winter's night # That was so deep # Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel # Born is the King of Israel # (Harry ) All right, clear quickly.
Ready, angels, and... # Hark, the herald angels sing # Glory to the newborn King # Peace on Earth and mercy mild # God and sinners reconciled # Joyful all ye nations rise # Join the triumph of the skies # With angelic hosts proclaim # Christ is born in Bethlehem # Hark, the herald angels sing # Glory to the newborn King # (Harry ) Very good, people. Very good. And now, again, 'Noel,' everyone. # The first Noel... # (Screaming) (Panting and groaning) Oh, God! # On a cold winter's night... # Oh, God! Help! # That was so deep (Screams) Help me! Oh, God! Help me! # Born is the King... # # Israel # (Singing in distance ) (Shrieks in terror)
His things. I thought you'd want them. (Sobbing) Grandma! Grandma! (Humming) (Dog barking) (Thea) We're here! Grandma? - Mom? - We're here. Thea, get down here. Come on. Anybody home? Michael. Where's Mom? She's been out there for hours. How's she doing? We've just come from Tiffany's house. Poor girl. The doctors had to sedate her. - Hello, Mrs Taft. - Hi, sweetheart. I didn't recognise you, Thea. You're so grown up. Uncle Sean is dead, you know. - Will he ever come back? - We'll talk about that more later. (Mrs Taft) Are you hungry? (Thea) I had a hamburger on the plane.
(Polly ) We can do better than that. How about a funny bone sandwich? (All laughing) (Polly ) How was the aeroplane ride? (Thea) Good. I got two lollipops. (Seagulls call) - It came for him. - What? It waited all this time, and it came for him. You guys must be starving. I'll make some fettuccini. I'm making dinner. You should sit and relax. Really, Ellen, there's nothing left to do. (Clattering) I want you to get out of the water. What? I want you to give up that terrible job! - You can't be serious. - Damn right. I'm just getting started. - I don't want you near the water. - Mom, you're upset. I don't want my family anywhere near the water again. - Never! - You can't believe that voodoo. Sharks don't pick people to murder. It picked out Sean. It killed your father.
- Dad died from a heart attack. - He died from fear. Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, listen to me. There's never been a great white where we live, ever. It's warm water. They don't like it. Your brother's dead. Your father's dead. (Door closes) It was a piece of wood! It was a shitty piece of wood! Michael! He was just doing his job. God, he could make me laugh sometimes. He was always tagging' after me when we were kids. He always wanted to do what I was... Hey, where are you going? Nowhere! (Man) 'To everything there is a season, 'and a time to every purpose under heaven. 'A time to be born and a time to die. 'A time to plant, 'and a time to pluck up that which is planted. 'A time to kill and a time to heal. "A time to break down and a time to build up. "A time to weep and a time to laugh.' 'A time to mourn and a time to dance. 'A time to cast away stones 'and a time to gather stones together. 'A time to embrace 'and a time to refrain from embracing.' (Boy ) Hey, Tom, wait up! Oh, you're gonna spoil her. That's what grandmas are for.
(Laughing) Why don't you come down to the islands with us? - I... I can't do that. - Come on, Mom. - Get warm, spend time with Thea... - Yes! (Laughing) Come here, you. Wanna know what I think? I think it's a wonderful idea. - Yes. - Come on, at least consider it. - Get away. You shouldn't be alone. - Yes! - Great! - Yay! - We can catch the 4.30 ferry. - (Ellen) Today? - Today. - No, I can't. (Thea) Yes, you can. (Ferry horn) - Swing me, swing me! - OK, OK. Oh, my back! I can't do this. I'll take her. Oh, my God, she's too heavy. Help us, Daddy.
OK, here we go. Aeroplane ride. (Thea laughs) I know. I'm gonna throw you overboard. (Laughing continues) (Violent sobbing) (Ferry horn) Oh, look! (Carla) Oh, hey, I always wanted to ride one of those. (Michael) No way. (Carla) Chicken. Mom always said if God meant us to ride parachutes for fun, - we'd be born with tickets. - I never said that. Yes, you did. August 1977. Where's the lady who brings the soda? They had them on the big plane. There's some coffee in the Thermos. I'm too young for coffee. Can I drive? (Carla) Thea! Sometimes Dad puts me in his lap and lets me steer the Jeep. Sometimes I let interesting people sit in my lap and steer the plane. - Oh, really? - Really. - Hoagie? - Yeah? Jake says you'll have to fly the rest of your life to pay off what you lost at craps.
Good news travels fast. I'll get it back next time. How come it bumps up and down when there's no road? The wind does that. You been to the Bahamas before? - No. - First time's the best. Then you know too much and nothing's the same. What makes the plane go up and down? Easy. You go like this, and the houses get bigger. (Laughing and gasping) Then you go like this, and the houses get smaller. (All shout) - Do you wanna go for a ride? - (All) Yes! (All screaming, laughing) (Man) # And so I'm offering this simple phrase # To kids from one to 92 # Although it's been said # Many times, many ways # Merry Christmas # To you # Kenny and Tamika are playing on the dock. Hurry, hurry, hurry! (Children shouting) (Michael) Everybody out! - Come on. - Kenny, Tamika! I'm back!
I'm home! Let me help you with the bags there, Romeo. - You can take the heavy ones. - Thanks, buddy. Grandma! Grandma! Your room's in here. Grandma, watch me! Grandma! Thea! Get down from there! - Grandma, watch me! - Get down from there! - Mommy lets me. - It's too dangerous! Don't do that! - Grandma, watch me! - Come on, sweetheart. But you always let me. Not today. Come on, Thea. The other kids are. Daddy, why can't I? Did you hear what I said? Come inside the house right now! - I don't want to. I wanna swing. - Right now you have to unpack. I didn't mean to start all this. I feel like such a grandma.
Come on. I'll show you around. No! No! Put me down! - Will you stop making a scene? - I wanna swing! I'll be all right, Michael. Good. So will I. (Michael) She calls it 'Tourist on the Loose'. The local government commissioned it for the public beach. - (Carla) You forgot about the store. - Oh, yeah. Yeah. (Carla) We need milk, bread... There's a big unveiling ceremony. - (Carla) We need beer! - OK, I'll be right there! Pretty good, huh? Yeah. (Gasping) (Screaming) (Gasps) Grandma? (Panting) (Man on radio ) 'Will you stop farting' around? 'Michael, what the hell you doin' down there, eh? ' Jake, stop busting' my chops.
'Listen, you remember what they look like? 'Hard on the outside, chewy on the inside. 'Sometimes they come with a little grime. 'Move your ass, man! ' (Michael) Ah, bingo! (Jake ) Good. How many you got? Come on, Michael, talk to me. Give me some numbers. How many? - 'Leave me alone.' - You're full of shit. 'You been down there all day, nothin' to show but excuses. 'Michael, you're tagging' the damn things.' I gotta separate the ladies from the gentlemen first. No, man, don't. You move too slow. You got two speeds - slow and slower. Hold your water, Jake. The females have eggs. So we're gonna stop everything and pass out cigars? We're being paid to see where they go, how they propagate. If we had decent funding, I'd study their motor systems, temperature... We'd do a decent report for a change and really give them something. If you'd leave me alone, I'd be able to do my work. I know how to tag a damn conch. - Your readings suck, man. - The tags suck. - No, it's I that made them.
- It's I that put 'em on. - You put 'em on wrong. - No, no, no! They leak! A blind man could find more conch! You can't find your ass with both hands! That's not fair! You go away, come back a zombie, it's Christmas Eve. - We're working overtime cos of YOU! - Hey! I'm sorry about your brother, man. Well, just... just take it easy, will ya? Jake. C'mon, Jake, don't... I don't want... - Oh! Put me down. - (Jake laughing) I missed you, man! (Ellen) And then he wrote dirty words all over the garage. He was...your daddy was five. He was your age. - I'm almost six. - So is Jake. (Laughter) Oh, look at that face. OK, do the other one. (Beeping) Now that's closer to the real truth. Oh, you.
This guy was always getting into some sort of mischief. I got no doubt about that. Was Uncle Sean ever bad? Did you ever spank him? Sharp shirt, Jake. Hey, may your sex life be as busy as your shirt. Why, thank you. My tea set! I got my tea set! Oh, let me see! (Jake's wife ) Every lovely lady should have a tea set. (Thea) It has a teapot and cups and saucers. (Jake's wife ) And a sugar bowl and a creamer. (Thea) Can I put real tea in it? (Jake's wife ) Yes, real tea. (Thea) Can I make sandwiches? (Carla) Yes. (Woman) Thea, we forgot the Christmas carols. (Jake ) Carol from the grocery store? (Jake's wife ) Oh, will you stop it? # Hark, the herald angels sing # Glory to the newborn King... # I miss him, Mom. (Singing continues) - I want you to change your work. - Mom, please don't start that. - You could teach or write... - I'm not gonna quit now. (Laughter inside ) You're all I have left.
I don't want you working in the water. # Glory to the newborn King... # Mom, what I do is perfectly safe. At the moment, we're collecting big snails. Jake and I are scientists. We're almost PhDs. We know what we're doing. There's nothing to worry about. # Christ is born in Bethlehem... # (Ellen) Oh, great. (Chattering on boat) And, well, we have to dig the ditch really deep... so the water'll go all the way around and we can swim in it. (Giggles) You're silly. You know what? Let's pretend this is Buckingham Palace. And you'll be Princess Di, and we'll have a parade with horses. And you'll ride in a golden carriage, and we'll... (Thea) And I can invite Cinderella to the ball. She'll come in a golden carriage, too. (Thea, distant) And we can have cookies and punch and cake. And I can invite Prince Charlie and... What's the name of the other prince? Grandma? Grandma? What's wrong? Nothing. Oh, we better get this done before the tide comes in. It's not nice to be evasive. My mother says that to my father all the time. (Ellen chuckles) (Hoagie ) Hello, you two!
Hello. I don't know why I fish here. I never catch anything. There must be a sign underwater - 'beware, Hoagie's about'. - You drive the plane. - Flies the plane. Mostly, it's like driving. What's that, an excavation? We're building a sand castle, and you're invited for tea. (Jake ) You know why you got no ambition? - (Michael) Why is that, Jake? - Your Norman Rockwell life. Norman Rockwell? That's precisely your problem, my friend. You weren't exactly a deprived kid. I don't buy that roots-rock-reggae bullshit. Cut that hair, you're a three-piece suit. The bottom line is we got three months left of work and no money. Spent it all on beer. Bahamian Fisheries Department is not exactly Fort Knox, my friend. But, on the other hand, Office of Naval Research, they've got money. No. Forget it. What do you mean? Money is money. - They put bombs on dolphins. - What you talking about? I know a guy who got money from them to study eels. (Man) It's hard to put a bomb on an eel!
Who rattled your cage? Michael, man! We're bustin' our bunghies to get our degrees. I'm tired of all this paradise shit. It's getting on my last nerve, man. (Jake ) William. Look at you, boy. - What? - A mental midget reading all day. If mediocrity were fattening, you'd all be whales. Knock off that drumming'! (Jake ) Look at you, boy. What's wrong with you? You think because you been to university you're smart? (Ellen) I don't know why I've told you all this. Sometimes talking to a stranger is easier. I can't explain it. It's just something I feel. I always listen to my feelings. I think I'm going crazy. Nightmares and... Maybe it was an accident. It was no accident. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying that maybe there are other possibilities. When it killed Sean, I knew with certainty it had come for him. I knew that! I know it's coming. I know it's coming. What's it cost to ride on that plane?
The water's coming in! The water's coming in! Depends on where you want to go. - Doesn't matter. - (Thea) Hurry! - Just like that? - Just like that. Oh! Oh, no! Oh! Oh! (Hoagie ) Take the wheel! (Ellen) I'm sorry? - Take the wheel. - No, I can't. - Sure, you can. - I don't know how. Nobody does till they learn. What are you doing? Better take the wheel or we'll be swimming soon. (Hoagie ) Whoa, take it easy! Take it easy! Hold her gently. She'll damn near fly herself. See? Just like driving a car. Where do I pull off the road? No, you're doing fine. I'll keep you out of trouble. - Relax.
- Where are we going? One time, I was flying supplies up the Amazon when I came down in the jungle. - You won't tell me? - I was picked up by head-hunters, and taken to their chief. - You are impossible! - He looked at me and took me in his hut. Inside his hut, there was a long pole... (Carnival music) (Ellen) What is all this? Just a little something I arranged to cheer you up. - No, really. - What? - Tell me, what is all this? - A local festival. It's called a junkanoo. (Michael) 'I'm not hearing anything up here, buddy.' How many have you tagged, exactly? How many? Michael...stop busting my bunghie. Yeah, it's OK for you, but not for me, huh? Have no fear, Jake is here. I just struck the mother lode. I'm counting. (Michael) 'Watch yourself with that fancy equipment, buddy.' Such a live wire'll make your hair stick up funny. That's good, Michael. William? Yeah, there's no hope for that boy. Jake? Jake, that's a joke. Holy shit!
We got a big fish down here, man. Oh, yeah? How big? - Jesus! - Look out! (Hoagie ) What's wrong? Ellen? Jesus Christ! - (Hoagie ) Ellen, what's wrong? - Nothing. Nothing. I'm fine. - No, you're not. - I'm terrific. Come on! Give it up! You can't keep doing this. - I can't keep doing THIS. - You promised me a drink. Sharks come and go, Ellen. People have nothing to do with it. - A drink with an umbrella in it. - Ellen, give it up. Give it a kick in the arse. Get on with your life. I know what you've been through. Don't worry. The nightmares'll go away. Give me my glasses, man. (Crew man) Boy, I ain't never seen nothin' so big.
Never! I was right next to Michael. The thing went right past me! Should've gone for you, Jake. Why did it come up? - What's it doing in warm water? - What's the difference? It's only a shark. A big, big, beautiful shark. And it's ours. Don't say anything to anyone. Fishermen would try to kill it. Michael, we got us a great white. Now we gonna do some real research. Do me a favour, don't say anything about this to my mom. Hey, man, I didn't mean to, you know, flap my lips, eh? (Ellen laughing) (Indistinct chattering) (Hoagie ) So... (Ellen) So? I said to him, 'Where's the disinfectant? ' He said, 'I've left it in town.' So I said, 'What are we gonna do? ' So he says, 'I'll tell you what we'll do. 'Come back at lunchtime, all the flies will be in the kitchen.' (Both laugh) (Carla) Come to bed. He took her sightseeing.
Well, you work. I work. She needs someone to help her take her mind off things. (Laughing continues) I'll help you take YOUR mind off things, sailor. It's soaking. (Sighs) Thank you. Good night. Good night. (Thunderclap) (Crowds chattering) (Mouthing) (Mouthing) Louisa. It's OK, Jake. I'll check on the table. (Cheering) - (Hoagie ) OK, everything rides. - Ooh, it's Hoagie! Hey, come on, I wanna see this. Oh, that's Hoagie, all right. (Excited chatter) (Hoagie ) Everything on the line. - You're not betting it all? - All or nothing at all. - Here, do you want to throw for me? - No! Now get ready. Are you ready? (Shouting, cheering)
(Crowd groans) - I guess that's bad? - Depends on your point of view. (Jake ) Ooh, look at that. Come here. Ooh, look at you. You look great! (Chattering) It's on the house. I knew there was a reason I could afford this. Thank you, Shirley! My father used to say, 'Jake, you got two loves in your life - 'what you do and who you're with.' - Happy birthday, Louisa. - Happy birthday! - And a Happy New Year. - (All) Happy New Year! - Happy New Year. - Happy New Year. Don't go weak in the knees on me tonight, boy. You're gonna need all the strength you got. I knew a one-armed piano player, took two minutes to play the Minute Waltz. Watch how you talk. Michael and I are about to be famous. - Tell 'em. - Jake! No job talk. You promised. You promised. Right. Would you risk a dance with me, madam?
- You'll be sorry. - So will you. I have two right feet. That's good, I have two left. Well, that's a set. (Slow dance music) # I, I was a game he would play... # A little quiet tonight. - New Year's blues? - No, not at all. Come on. It's my party. He's just Michael, he's startin' to count them damn conch in his sleep. (Louisa laughs) Excuse me. - Mind if I cut in? - Please. The world would be a better place if more sons danced with their mothers. Michael, stop pouting. You look like you did when you were six and didn't get what you wanted. I like him. I enjoy his company. (Michael) Yeah. I don't like him chasing around after you. I don't trust him. (Ellen) He's not chasing. You are being ridiculous. I've been a pain in the ass and I'm sorry. I'm not gonna bother you about your work. - You're not a pain.
- Let me finish. I've been rehearsing this all day. Sean's death almost killed me. I'll never get over it, but I refuse to let myself be run by an obsession. I can't keep on believing it was intentional. I finally figured it out. Good. That's it, 'good'? I thought you'd break out the champagne. No, I-I-I'm pleased. Come on. Show your mother what a good dancer you are. # Oh, you can surely see # You're someone more to me # Where is everybody? (Jake ) Down here! (Humming) - Where is Clarence and William? - I gave them the day off. What for? We got a job to finish. Why are you making a transmitter? It's all part of the master plan. We're gonna test it out right now. We're gonna learn about its motor systems, its heart rate. (Heartbeat) We're going to study a magnificent animal no one knows that much about. As the sun sets, we bid a fond farewell to the family of conch. What the hell are you talking about? We wrap it up and hand it in.
Why is your heart stronger than mine? We don't write up anything till we're finished. When I was a boy, my father said, 'Never do anything today you can put off till tomorrow.' Them conch gonna be there tomorrow. - When we got the grant, it said... - No, when I got the grant. - OK, when I signed on, I... - When I invited you. - We got the grant together. - When we got it together. We got three months' work left on this. We can't write a report. Michael, we got a rare bird here. You know that, huh? Great white don't come down to the Bahamas, never. Do we let an opportunity just swim away? My name's on the report. A half-assed job, I don't get my doctorate and neither do you. I thought we were planning a rosy future together. So did I. Hey! Hey! (Knocking) Michael? Anybody home in there at all? You better beam down to Earth with the rest of us. If that shark's still in the water, it won't be there forever. It's gonna figure out the water's too warm. Look at me and tell me you don't want to study that fish as much as I do. Michael?
Huh? This is what we trained for. This is what we studied them damn books for. Remember, my name goes on that report, too. It's as important to me as it is to you, right? All right, you like them damn snails? All right, all right, I'll make you a deal. Listen. We study that shark, just for a few days, and it's back to your lovely snails. Now that's fair, man. That's fair. Come on, indulge me with it, eh? I don't know shit about electronics. Boy, you don't know shit about anything. (Laughing) It's time you learned. I'll teach you how to wear your hair, how to dance. How to box. Come on, follow me. Get your butt down here, man. This is the third time you've forgotten to take it out. - I got a lot on my mind. - You can't remember when they come? My brain is shrinking... Don't give me that preoccupied scientist crap. (Carla) I'm getting ready for a big event! (Michael) I thought artists worked with their subconscious. How come it's my responsibility? (Carla) Because. Oh. OK, now I understand.
All you had to do was explain it. I take out the garbage...because. I'm glad we got that straightened out. We don't have anything straightened out. You're uptight about something. What's wrong? Why should there be anything wrong? I'm enjoying my day off, my wife starts yelling at me about the garbage. What are we arguing about? I don't know. I... (Chuckles) I don't know. Hey. - No fair, I'm not armed. - Then don't come any closer. - Turn it off. Off. - No. I have work. I've always wanted to make love to an angry welder. I've dreamed of nothing else since I was a small boy. - Shut the door. - Uh-huh. Later. (Giggling) - Mmm! Mmm! - Michael! Shut the door! (Giggling)
(Michael) You sure you've done this before? Oh, yeah. Lots of times. Trust your Uncle Jake, eh? It's always worked, huh? Well, uh...thus far. OK, take me out. Little more. There it is! Comin'! It's comin'! - You remember how to pull rope, eh? - Yeah. (Screaming) Yes! You got him, man! Ah! Now would be a good time! Did you see that, man? (Michael) Let's try to follow it. Now we're gonna see if Uncle Jake's equipment's really working for us. (Jake ) Michael! - Our little island agrees with you. - I have my own little island. But it's so cold in the winter. I tried winter once. Here we are. Burlington, Vermont. I flew a run to New York. Oh!
I have a bone in my left foot that hasn't thawed yet. - When I was a small boy... - Not hard to imagine, by the way. ..I dreamed of always being warm. What do you want? Whatever we had last time. Two Bahama Mamas, please. - Stay. I'll take time off. - You always take time off. I like to travel. I'll nick the plane again. - Won't you get in trouble? - Not if he doesn't find out. It's just a hop down to the Caribbean. We'll spend a few days. There must be a lot of ladies who'd be glad to go. Yeah, there are, but... I've grown tired of one-way conversations. I have an irresistible urge to kiss you, Ellen Brody. Why? Because it would not occur to you why. Blushing suits you. - Lord... I'm sorry. - It's nothing to be sorry about. No, this whole thing... The whole idea is preposterous. I don't think so. - You sure you don't need glasses?
- I'm a pilot. My vision is perfect. (Jake ) What are we getting? (Michael) Nine knots. Shit! We should be keeping up. - You sure the throttle's open? - Wide open. Come on, you overgrown goldfish! Come to Uncle Jake. - How long have you known Hoagie? - What? How long have you known Hoagie? - What's he got to do with it? - How long? Since he got here. Bring it to starboard! When did he get here? - Who? - Hoagie! Christ! One day he was just here, that's all. (Michael) What do you know about him? He's after my mother. - What's so funny? - He's not good enough for her, eh? I agree. I'd send her home right now. Bring her about, we're going the wrong way. I mean, some of these pilots are flying drugs down here.
- He's always going off somewhere. - Bring her about, now! - I am! - Hurry, man, we're losin' him! - You must know something. - Christ! He likes gambling, he likes women, don't bother me! - He flies charter... - Damn! We lost him! Maybe your gear crapped out. Maybe you crapped out, flapping' your lips about Hoagie. Maybe he's gone. All right, Mr Fish. We'll come back and find you tomorrow. All he did was kiss me! - (Carla) Well, that's a beginning. - A beginning of what? To whatever happens next. Oh. I used to think I could handle these situations once I was grown up, but I don't even know if he's serious. Mmm, give it some time, Ellen. See what happens. Well, part of me wanted to go off with him. I couldn't. I don't know why he wants me. Maybe he's got good taste. He hasn't spent much time with a woman like you. I don't know what he thinks. Or what I think.
This is so silly! I feel too old to be in this thing. I hope not. I am counting on a long, happy sex life. (Both chuckle ) (Creaking) You said it wasn't polite to interrupt people. Yes, I did. - It's time for tea, Grandma. - Oh, I almost forgot. I didn't. I put everything in my room. My teddy bear's joining us. (Ellen laughs) (Gasps) Michael? Michael, what is it? Nothing, just a stupid dream. Hmm. (Sighs) (Sighs) Time for bed, peanut. - Oh, no! - Yep. Daddy's got homework. - But you let me last night. - Yeah, yeah. Mommy's waiting to read a story. - Good night, sweetheart! - Good night.
Night. Let's put up our feet and shoot the breeze, or whatever it is beer drinkers do. I, uh, I got to put together this report, Ma. Jake says don't do today what you can put off tomorrow. Yeah, Jake's got a lot of those. I'm leaving in a few days. I don't want to go with you unhappy. I'm not unhappy. I saw you and Thea. You looked just like your father. Do you remember when you guys used to imitate him? Mom, I gotta get this finished, OK? - I worry about you. - There's nothing to worry about. I'm your mother. It's my job. Just cos you're a man doesn't mean I've retired. I've worked on MY smile. It's...it's your turn. That's better. (Jake on radio ) 'Blump, blump! Blump, blump! - 'Blump, blump! Blump, blump! ' - Jake, knock it off! Blump, blump. OK, just don't try to renege on our deal. Half a day on the snails, then a half a day on the shark. You got 17 more minutes, then we're gonna go look for that shark.
(Michael) It's a big ocean. We could spend the rest of our lives looking. 'We're gonna find him.' 'I got about a half a dozen. I'll tag 'em and be right up. 'You, uh, hearing' anything? ' Nothin' at all. Just another cool, calm, tickly day in the Bahamas. Just stay within a quarter mile. I got a three-mile monitor radius. Within three miles, there's plenty of time to beam your ugly ass up. (Electronic heartbeat) Michael, I got him. 'He's comin' towards you. You better get out now.' All right, I'm comin', I'm comin'. (Monitor beat quickens) Shit! Jake! Jake! Michael! Michael! 'Michael! ' Michael, what's goin' on? Michael, can you hear me? 'Michael! Michael, can you hear me? '
(Grunting) (Breathing fast) Michael! (Panting) (Latch creaking) (Grunting) Son of a bitch! Oh, shit! Jesus Christ! (Metal clanging) Ah! (Gurgling and gasping) Uh! (Jake ) It's over there! Shit! Get the bang sticks, we're goin' down. - They're no good. - Get another one! (Grunting and panting) (Jake ) Come on, come on! Michael! - Get him up! Watch his arm! - (Clarence ) Lay him down gently! (Jake ) We need a tourniquet to stop his bleeding. - (William) Try this! - Get the wet suit off. (Jake ) Keep cool, don't worry. (William) Michael, how are you? I think he may be in shock.
(Jake ) Clarence, move it! Hey, hey, hey! Hey, what you doin', man? No one goes in the water till we know where that fish is. You fall off the horse, you get right back on. Hell, what kind of bullcrap you talkin'? Huh? - Anybody's in the water, it's me. - Jake, I'm gonna go down. All right, so what about Carla's gig? It's almost time, man. Michael, I can't just let you go back down. I'm scared shitless. What the hell do I do if I can't go back in that water? All right, be careful. Clarence, get up on that shack. Give us some lookout. - I hope he knows what he's doing. - He's doin' what he's got to do. Jake, are you gettin' anything on the shark? No, everything's cool. I'm thinkin' about yesterday. It's probably a mistake. - He was hungry. You look tasty. - But how come only me? - Maybe he just like white meat. - You're a funny guy, Jake. Jesus! (Laughter and applause )
(Man) It is about art that I wish to speak today. The raw material of art surrounds us all, catching in the net that each and every one of us casts into the current of life. - But it takes the art... - Where the hell are they? They'll be here. - Can I go on the banana boat? - Shh! Margaret's going. She's with her mother. - OK. - Oh, boy! Oh, boy! - Thea, you be careful. - I will, I will! - (Ellen) Thea! - It's OK. Banana boats are fun. Oh, we should be so lucky. I wish we were out with her playing'. Margaret, wait for me! 'Get to the point, man,' as my wife now says. (Laughter and applause ) OK. Well, in short, art is grease for the wheel of life. Today we are privileged to dedicate a work of art. Carla Brody, an artist of growing reputation, was commissioned to express our way of life in permanent form... to show the world what we all know right here on this beach: that it is better in the Bahamas. - (Woman) Absolutely. - Ladies and gentlemen, Carla Brody! Thank you, Commissioner Witherspoon, Mrs Witherspoon.
Thea! Oh, my God! Thea! Stop! Come back! Bring her back! Oh, my God! (Screaming) Stop! Thea! Thea! Thea! Somebody do something! Thea! Oh, no! My God! - Mommy! Mommy! - Thea! (Man) Somebody get a doctor! Get a doctor now! (Man) Quickly! (Engine revs) - I'm sorry I missed you. - Where have you been? What's the matter? What happened? Thea was attacked by a shark. Oh, my God. The doctor said she should be OK.
She's in shock. Sweetheart? Sweetheart? I'm so sorry. I should've known. Jesus. Should've known what? - We tried to keep track of him. - Of... The shark. - You knew? - Yeah. Thought it went away. - Came after me. - She could've been killed. You knew? And you didn't tell us? You let your mother think... Where is she? - How could you do that? - Where's my mother? - Where's my mother? - Why didn't you tell us? - Where's Jake? - WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US? (Carla) Michael! Jake! - Jake! - What? Come on!
I need you! Hurry up! Hoagie! Did you see our boat? - (Hoagie ) I just got here. - My mother took it. - I hope she's a good sailor. - A shark attacked Thea. She went after the damn thing. - She's gone after it? - Yeah, we gotta stop her. In that? It'll take all day in that bathtub. Got a better idea? I'll radio her position. The rescue boats will pick her up, so don't worry. She'll be fine. She'll never find that bloody shark. We couldn't. (Michael) It'll find her. (Jake ) What do you mean? She said it was coming. - What do you mean? - What do you know? She thinks the shark that killed Martin and Sean is following the family. Hey, he's not talkin' about our shark, eh? What do you do when you're not flying people? I deliver laundry. (Hoagie ) Hold on. What's that?
Let's have a look. Oh. (Hoagie ) It's a big ocean out there. (Michael) Can't this thing go any faster? Any faster, this thing'll be a flying Cuisinart and we'll be diced into oblivion. Come and get me, you son of a bitch. There she is. That's her right there. Is that what I think it is? - Mom... - Hold on! Oh! (Hoagie ) 'Thomas, you there? This is Zero-Papa-Alpha here.' (Man on radio ) 'Hoagie, where are you? ' 12 miles southeast of Emerald Key. Look for Neptune's Folly.' I need two boats fast and somebody who can kill a shark - a big one. (Man) 'What're you doing? ' (Hoagie ) Practising landing. Hang on to your socks, lads. Wait! You sure you know how to do this? Of course not! What kind of pilot do you think I am? - Christ! - Hell, not half bad. Get out, I'll keep it busy. No, it'll come for the plane's electromagnetic impulse. (Hoagie ) Get the bloody hell out!
Michael! Damn passengers! You're all the same. Complain, complain... Oh, shit! Hoagie! Hoagie! Hoagie! Why'd you come out here? Why'd you come out here? - Why did you bring him? - Mom, Mom! - Why'd you take the boat? - It kept coming! - Didn't you realise? - There was nothing else to do. - You shouldn't have done it. - I tried to tell you. I tried. (Sobbing) (Hoagie ) Hey! Give me a hand, for Christ's sake! - Hoagie! - How the hell did you do that, man? - It wasn't easy, believe me. - Get him up. (Grunting) (Jake ) You all right, man? - Oh! Bloody hell. - (Jake ) Get it started!
- The breath on that thing! - You are alive! Let's get out of here, Ellen Brody. Oh! Good, this thing's still working. (Engine spluttering) That's your engine, pal. I'll have a look. (Electronic beating) Oh, shit, he's close, man. - What is that sound? - The shark's heartbeat. Hoagie, try to finish. Michael, gimme a hand, I got an idea. We're taking water down here. Ellen, start pumping here. (Hoagie ) Ellen! Get the bilge pump! (Jake ) Take the radio transmitter out and hook it to the strobe. - We gotta get the engine started! - Just do it! We're gonna feed that big boy a meal he won't forget. You better have something good going. We've got a rotten hose. There's a spare one. What you wanna do with this? I'm rigging' the receiver. We get it inside that bastard and set it off. I got it. We rig an antenna on this, we can shock the hell out of him.
Right! You're learning. (Beating intensifies) He's getting closer! They spend their lives looking for food, they don't care what it is. Maybe he's got indigestion. He's eaten my plane! It's not food he's after. Michael, turn on your switch. I need a test. - Anybody tell you you're nuts? - All the time. If it responds to external electrical impulse, it might respond to one inside - confuse him, drive him crazy. - (Electrical whine ) - OK, a test... Good. You'd better get up here! The heartbeat's stopped! Shit. Either he's gone or your gear's crapped out again. That's bull. My equipment don't crap out. He'll be back. (Jake ) Get me the boat hook. (Hoagie ) Maybe he had a heart attack. Humans are full of cholesterol. - Give me that. - Shit! Where is he? Give me that line, Michael.
Right there. There he is! (Hoagie ) Ellen, try the engine. Ellen! Try to start the engine! (Engine starts) Son of a bitch. Let's get out of here. No, it's too late, Hoagie. Give me a hard port. Right! (Michael) Here, give me that. (Jake ) No! No time for that! Jake! You can't go out there without a line! Keep it steady. It's gonna come back! Damn thing's disappeared. He's gone! (Electronic heartbeat) Jake! We're taking too much water. It'll stop the engine. Ellen, take the wheel. We've got to outrun it. Ellen! - That thing gonna work? - It'll work. If Jake says so, it will.
This charge will drive it crazy. (High-pitched drone ) (Roaring) (Roaring) (Drone turns to patchy static) Sweet Jesus, we're headed straight for it! Ellen, come about! (Drone resumes) (Roaring) (Hoagie ) We're gonna hit it! Hold on! Hold on! Smile, you son of a bitch! - Michael! - Come over here. Michael! It's all right! I'm OK! (Man) Anybody there? Over here! Jake! Michael, you got a minute? It's Jake! Son of a bitch! Jesus, Jake. What took you so damn long, man? What the hell are you doing alive? I told you Uncle Jake's equipment don't crap out, eh? You're not going to do something stupid like die on me, are you? No, man.
I'm way too mean for that. So from now on, we're going to study snails, eh? Yeah. (Ellen) Come to Amity this summer. (Carla) We'll be there. (Ellen) You make sure they come. (Thea) I will. I'll miss you, Grandma. Get in, Ellen Brody. You'll miss your plane. - Goodbye, Grandma! - OK. - Be careful. - OK. See ya. - Take good care of Jake. - I will. You gonna be OK? - Yeah. - OK. When I come back, remind me to tell you about the time I took a hundred nuns to Nairobi. (Hoagie ) There they were, 100 nuns, playing guitars and singing, 'The hills are alive with the sound of music.' Then suddenly, one comes up to me and she says, 'There's smoke coming from the engine.' But I never took them seriously, until they all started singing 'Nearer My God to Thee.' Ripped by thewildbunch22 Stop that! Stop what?
I'm not doing anything. Ow! That hurt. Serves you right. Will you cut that out? I can't help myself. You're almost as sneaky as your father was. He was the tomato thief of all time. I know what you're doing. I'm hungry- Let me finish dinner before you eat it. Chop these. Sorry, fellas. Oh, Mom, tomorrow night we're going with Tiffany to buy a Christmas tree. Okay, but a small one this year. Watch your fingers. No way, a big one. Ow! Shit! Are you okay? Yeah, it adds flavor. Hello? We don't want any. Thea who? I know it's Thea Brody. How many grandkids do I have? I can use the phone by myself. I know you can use the phone by yourself. You're a big girl.
I'm five years old now, Grandma. I know you're five years old. Hiya, kiddo. How're you doin' down there in the sunshine? I'm fine, Uncle Sean. I went swimming today. I'm taking lessons. She already swims like a fish. Hey, Michael! Hey, bro. The fish. Check it. No way! You check it. No, I'm on the phone. Come on, let me talk to him. Hello? I'm paying the call. THEA". What's going on? Your grandmother is a slave driver! Tell her to be nice to me. Did you get the book I sent you? Yeah, yeah, thanks a lot! Hey, ask the big doctor about his job. Tough life, you Bahamian beach bum playin' in the water all day. I heard that. He heard that. Good. Hey, how come you get to leave early?
'Cause my desk is closer to the door. I don't think that's funny. A big one. A small one. Your brother's not gonna be here. Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas, Jim. Merry Christmas, Mary. Don't forget eggnog time Thursday nighti All right, we'll be there. Okay. We're getting a big tree and we're getting out all the old ornaments, and we're gonna do it right - And we're hanging stockings on the mantle... And we're putting out cookies... And we'll have eggnog. ...and a bottle of beer for Santa. All right! All right, we'll do it all. All right. Tiffany, do you have any idea what a madman you're marrying? Yes, ldo. I gotta go check in. Okay. See you later. Love you. Bye. Me, too. Don't be late! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That bad, huh?
We're out of decaf, we're outta petty cash, and we're outta requisition forms. Anything to do before I go home? That man keeps calling about his training film. I can't convince him we don't have a S.W.A.T. team. Good night, Polly! Amity Police Department. Hold it! There's an old dock piling drifting in the channel. Maybe it'll just keep on drifting till it goes away? It's stuck on a channel marker. Good night, Polly. Uh-huh. It... Hold it! Coast Guard's busy and it has to be cleared before the fishermen come back. Where's Lenny? Out to Ben Master's place. Cow tipping. Cow tipping? Claims kids come by at night and tip over his sleeping cows. They're not givin' milk. Okay, I'll take care of it. Deputy Brody will take care of it personally. Call home, tell 'em I'll be late. Uh-huh. Cow tipping! The first Noel The angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds In fields as they lay...
No, no, no, no, no! Hold it! Hold m Together, people! Together, remember? All right. Let's try it again. Two, three. Where the hell are the Wise Men? Good luck, Harry. I'm gonna need it with this bunch. Sounds better than when I was a shepherd. Joseph, where the hell is your robe? You're supposed to be in costume! Jesus! I'm over here! In fields as they lay In fields where they lay Keeping their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel All right, clear quickly. Ready, angels, and... Hark! The herald angels sing "Glory to the new born King "Peace on Earth and mercy mild "God and sinners reconciled!" Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies With angelic host proclaim "Christ is born in Bethlehem!" Hark! The herald angels sing "Glory to the new born King!" Very good, people. Very good. And now, again, Noel, everyone. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, God! Oh, God! Help! Help me! Oh, God! Help me! Help! Help! His things. I thought you'd want them. Grandma! Grandma! We're here! Grandma? Mom? We're here. Thea, get down here. Come on.
Anybody home? Michael. Where's Mom? She's been out there for hours. How's she doing? We've just come from Tiffany's house. Poor girl. The doctors had to sedate her. Hello, Mrs. Taft. Hi, sweetheart. I didn't recognize you, Thea. You're so grown up. Uncle Sean is dead, you know? Will he ever come back? We'll talk about that some more later. Would you like something to eat? I had a hamburger on the plane. MRS. Oh. POLLY: We can do better than that. How would you like a funny bone sandwich? How was the airplane ride? Good. The lady gave me two lollipops. It came for him. What? It waited all this time, and it came for him. You guys must be starving. I'll make some fettuccini. Sit down, Ma.
I'm making dinner. You should sit in here and relax with Michael. Really, Ellen, there's nothing left to do. I want you to get out of the water. What? I want you to give up that terrible job! Come on, Mom, you can't be serious. Damn right, I'm serious. I'm just getting started. We just got our first grant last... I don't want you anywhere near the water. Mom, you're upset. Come on, just come on and sit down, will you? We'll get there... I don't want anyone in my family anywhere near the water. Never again. Never! Hey, come on. You can't believe that voodoo. Sharks don't commit murder! They don't pick out a person... It picked out Sean. It killed your father. Dad died from a heart attack. He died from fear. The fear of it killed him. Mom, Mom, Morn, Mom, listen... listen to me. There's never been a great white where we live, ever. It's warm water.
They don't like it. It's... It's... Your brother's dead. Your father's dead. It's too shallow. It was a piece of wood! It was a shitty piece of wood! Michael! He was just doing his job. God, he could make me laugh sometimes. He was always tagging' after me when we were kids, you know? He always wanted to do what I was... Hey, where are you going? Nowhere! "To everything there is a season, "and a time to every purpose under heaven. "A time to be born and a time to die. "A time to plant, "and a time to pluck up that which is planted. "A time to kill and a time to heal. "A time to break down and a time to build up. "A time to weep and a time to laugh. "A time to mourn and a time to dance. "A time to cast away stones "and a time to gather stones together. "A time to embrace "and a time to refrain from embracing." Hey, Tom, wait up! Oh, you're gonna spoil her.
That's what grandmas are for. Why don't you come down to the islands with us? I... I can't do that. Come on. Come on, Mom. No. No. Get out of this cold. You can spend some time with Thea. Yes! Come here, you. Wanna know what I think? I think it's a wonderful idea. Yes. Come on, Morn, at least consider it. I mean, you should get away. You shouldn't be alone now. Yes! Great! Yay! If we hurry we can catch the 4:30 ferry. Today? Today. No, I... No, I can't. Yes, you can. Swing me, swing me! Okay, okay. Oh, my back!
I can't do this. I know. This is a tough one. I'll take her. I'll take her. Oh, my God, she's too heavy. Help us, Daddy. Okay, here we go. Airplane ride. Whoa! And away we go. I know. I'm gonna throw you overboard. Oh, look! Oh, hey, I always wanted to ride one of those. No way. Chicken. My mother always told me, "if God had intended us to ride parachutes for fun, "we'd have been born with free tickets." I never said that. Yes, you did. August 1977. Where do you come up with these ideas? Where's the lady who brings the soda? They had them on the big plane. There's some coffee in the thermos. I'm too young for coffee. Oh. Can I drive?
Thea! Sometimes my father puts me in his lap and lets rne steer the Jeep. Don't bother Hoagie. Sometimes I let interesting people sit in my lap and steer the plane. Oh, really? Really. Hoagie? Yeah? Jake tells me you're gonna have to fly the rest of your life to pay off what you lost at the crap table? Good news travels fast, huh. I'll get it back next time. How come it bumps up and down when there's no road? The wind does that. You been to the Bahamas before? No. First time's the best for everything. After that, you know too much and nothing's ever quite the same. What makes the plane go up and down? Oh, that's easy. You go like this, and the houses get bigger. Then you go like this, and the houses get smaller. Do you wanna go for a ride? No! Yes! Yeah! No! And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to 92 Although it's been said Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas To you Kenny and Tamika are playing on the dock. Hurry, hurry, hurry! Everybody out! Come on. Kenny, Tamika! I'm back! I'm home! Hey, slow down. Let me help you with the bags there, Romeo. Good, you can take the heavy ones. Thanks, buddy. Grandma! Grandma! Your room's in here. Grandma, watch me! Grandma! Thea, get down from there! Grandma, watch me! Get down from there! Mommy lets me. No, it's too dangerous! Don't do that! Grandma, watch me! Come on, sweetheart. But you always let me. Not today. Come on, Thea. The other kids are.
Daddy, why can't I? Did you hear what I said? Come inside the house right now! No, I don't want to. I wanna swing. You can swing later! Right now you have to unpack. I didn't mean to start all this. I feel like such a grandma. Come on. I'll show you around. Please, Mommy! No! No! Put me down! Will you stop making a scene? Right now! I want to play! Kenny and Tamika... I'll be all right, Michael. Good. So will I. She calls it Tourist on the Loose. The local government commissioned it. It's for the public beach. You forgot to stop at the store. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We need milk, bread... There's a big unveiling ceremony in a couple of weeks.
We need beer! Okay, all right, I'll be right there! Pretty good, huh? Yeah. Grandma? Will you stop farting' around? Michael, what the hell you doin' down there, eh? Jake, stop busting' my chops. Listen, you remember what they look like? They hard on the outside, chewy on the inside. Sometimes they come with a little grime attached to them. Move your ass, man! Ah, bingo! Good. How many you got? Come on, Michael, talk to me. Give me some numbers up here. How many you got? Leave me alone, Jake. Oh, you're full of shit, man. You been down there all damn day, we got nothin' to show for it but excuses. Michael, you're tagging' the damn things, for Christ's sake. I gotta separate the ladies from the gentlemen first. No, man, don't do that. You move too slow. You got two speeds, slow and slower. And if you move any damn slower you're gonna grow roots! Hold your water, Jake. Guess what! The females have eggs.
Oh, great. So we're gonna stop everything and pass out cigars now, huh? Look, we're being paid to see where they go, how they propagate. I'm tryin to do it right. Being paid... If we had any decent funding, I'd study their motor systems, I'd take their temperature readings... We're getting' it done. That's bull, man. We'd be able to do a decent report for a change and really give them something. If you'd leave me alone, I'd be able to do my work. I know how to tag a damn conch. Your readings suck, man. Maybe it's the tags that suck. No, no, it's I that made them. Yeah, well, it's I that put 'em on, man. Then obviously you put 'em on wrong, Michael. No, no, no! If you would've made 'em right, it wouldn't happen. They leak. A blind man could find more conch on the mountain side. You can't find your ass with both hands! See, that's not fair, man! You go away, you leave me high and dry, do all the work by myself, you come back acting like a zombie-It's Christmas Eve, we're workin' overtime 'cause of you! Hey! I'm sorry about your brother, man. Well, just... Just take it easy, will ya? Jake. Come on, Jake, don't...
I don't want... No! Oh! Put me down. Put me down. I missed you, man! And then, he wrote dirty words all over the garage. He was... Your daddy was five. He was your age. I'm almost six. Yes. So is Jake. Oh, look at that face. Okay, do the other one. Now, that's closer to the real truth. Oh, you. This guy was always getting into some sort of mischief. I got no doubt about that boy. Was Uncle Sean ever bad? Did you ever spank him? Sharp shirt, Jake. Hey, may your sex life be as busy as your shirt. Why, thank you. My tea set! I got my tea set! - Oh, let me see! - Thank you. Every lovely lady should have a tea set. Oh, this is a great present.
It has a teapot and cups and saucers. And a sugar bowl and a creamer. Can I put real tea in it? Yes, you can put real tea in it. Can I make sandwiches? Yes, you can make sandwiches. Oh, Thea, you know what we forgot? The Christmas carols. Carol, the girl that works down at the grocery store? Oh, will you stop it on Christmas? Ah, ah, ah, ah. Hark! The herald angels sing "Glory to the new born King..." I miss him, Morn. I want you to change your work. Come on, Mom, please don't start that. You could teach, you could write... I'm not gonna quit now. You're all I have left. I don't want you working in the water. "Glory to the new born King..." Mom, what I do is perfectly safe. At the moment, we're collecting big snails. Jake and I are scientists, you know? We're almost PhDs. We know what we're doing-There's... There's nothing to worry about. "Christ is born in Bethlehem!" Oh, wait!
Next time don't keep me waiting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, well, we have to... We have to dig the ditch really deep, so the water'll go all the way around and we can swim in it- You're silly. You know what? Let's pretend this is Buckingham Palace. And you'll be Princess Di, and we'll have a parade with horses. And you'll ride in a golden carriage, and we'll... And I can invite Cinderella to the ball. She'll come in a golden carriage, too. And we can have cookies and punch and cake. And I can invite Prince Charlie and... What's the name of the other prince? Grandma? Grandma? What's wrong? Nothing. Oh, we better get this done before the tide comes in. It's not nice to be evasive. My mother says that to my father all the time. Hello, you two! Hello. I don't know why I fish here. I never catch anything. There must be a sign under the water. "Beware, Hoagie's about". You're the man who drives the plane. Flies the plane. Mostly, it's like driving.
What's that? An excavation? We're building a sand castle, and you're invited for tea. JAKE". You know why... You know why you got no ambition? Why is that, Jake? That's what happens when you lead a sheltered Norman Rockwell life. Norman Rockwell? That's precisely your problem, my friend. You should talk. You weren't exactly a deprived kid. Think I buy that roots-rock-reggae bullshit, forget it. Cut that hair, and you're nothing but a three-piece suit. Save me from your ignorance, Michael. The bottom line is we got three months left of work and no money left to support it. Spent it all on beer. Bahamian Fisheries Department is not exactly Fort Knox, my friend. But, on the other hand, Office of Naval Research, they've got some money. No, forget it. What do you mean forget it, brother? Money is money. They put bombs on dolphins. What? What kinda stuff are you talking about? I know a guy who got money from them to study eels. Ha! It's pretty hard to put a bomb on an eel, man. When I wanna hear from you, I'll rattle your cage.
Michael, man, look at us. We're out here bustin' our bunghies to get our degrees. I'm getting tired of all this paradise shit. It's getting on my last and only nerve, man. William. What? Look at you, boy. What about me? Man, you're a mental midget and you're still reading all day. You know, if mediocrity were fattening, you'd all be whales. And will you knock off that stupid drumming'! Oh, boy, look at you, man. You've nothin' to clean. What's wrong with you anyway, Pop? You think because you been to university now you're smart? VVatch it, buddy! Listen to you. You'd like to... I don't know why I've told you all this. I hardly know you. Sometimes talking to a stranger is easier. I can't explain it. It's just... It's something I feel. I always listen to my feelings. I think I'm going crazy. Nightmares and... Maybe it was an accident. It was no accident. Well, I'm not saying you're wrong.
I'm just saying that maybe there are other possibilities. When it killed Sean, I knew with absolute certainty it had come for him- I knew that! I know it's coming. I know it's coming. What's it cost to take a ride on that plane? The water's coming in! The water's coming in! Depends on where you want to go. Doesn't matter. Hurry! Just like that? Just like that. Oh! Oh, no! Oh! Oh! Take the wheel! I'm sorry. What did you say? Take the wheel. No, I can't. Sure, you can. No, I mean, I... I don't know how. Nobody does till they learn. What are you doing? You better take the wheel or we'll be swimming in five minutes. Whoa, take it easy! Take it easy!
Hold her gently. She'll damn near fly herself. See? Just like driving a car. Where do I pull off the road? No, you're doing fine. I'll keep you out of trouble. Relax. Where are we going? One time, I was flying supplies up the Amazon when I came down in the jungle. You're not gonna tell me, are you? I was picked up by this tribe of head-hunters, and they took me to see their chief. You are impossible! He took a long look at me and he took me in his hut. Inside his hut, there was a long pole... What is all this? Just a little something I arranged to cheer you up. No, really. What? Tell me, what is all this? It's a local festival. It's called a Junkanoo. Yeah, I tell you, I'm not... I'm not hearing anything up here, buddy. How many have you tagged, exacfly? How many? Michael, stop busting my bunghie. Yeah, it's okay for you, but not for me, huh? Have no fear, Jake is here. I just struck the mother lode.
I'm counting. You better watch yourself with that fancy electrical equipment down there, buddy. Such a live wire is liable to make your hair stick up funny. That's good, Michael. William? Yeah, there's no hope for that boy. Jake? Jake, that's a joke. Holy shit! We got a big fish down here, man. Oh, yeah? How big? Jesus! Look out! Shit! Look out! What's wrong? Ellen? Jesus Christ! Ellen, what's wrong? Nothing. Nothing. I'm fine. No, you're not. I'm terrific. Come on! Give it up! You can't keep doing this. I can't keep doing this. Hey, you promised me a drink.
Sharks come and go, Ellen. People have got nothing to do with it. A drink with an umbrella in it. Ellen, give it up. Give it a kick in the ass. Get on with your life. I know what you've been through. Don't worry. The nightmares'll go away. Give me my glasses, man. Boy, I ain't never seen nothin' so big. Never! I was standin' right next to Michael. The blasted thing went right past me! Should've gone for you, Jake. It was right over you. Why did it come up? What the hell's it doing in warm water anyway, man? What's the difference, man? It's here. It's only a shark. A great, big, beautiful shark. You two are makin' it into somethin' it's not. And it's ours. Don't say anything to anyone, man. Fishermen find out, they're gonna try to kill it first thing you know, huh? Michael, we got us a great white. Now, we gonna do some real research, boy. Do me a favor, will you? Don't...
