Bud
[After a tense communication with Lindsey...]

God, I hate that bitch.

Hippy

Probably shouldn't've married her, then, huh?

Hippy

What is all this stuff?

Monk

Fluid breathing system. We just got them. You use it when you go really deep.

Hippy

How deep?

Monk

Deep.

Hippy

How deep?

Monk

It's classified.

Hippy

So these guys are SEALs, huh?

Eh, those guys ain't so tough. I fought guys plenty tougher'n them.

Hippy

So, is this where you tell us how you "coulda been a contender"?

Hippy

You know, we got Russian subs creepin' around here; somethin' goes wrong they can say whatever they want happened.

Bud

Relax, will ya? You're makin' the women nervous.

Cute, Virgil.

Bud

Hippy, you think everything's a conspiracy.

Hippy

Everything is.

There is something down there. Something not us.

You could be more... specific.

Bud

Something that zigs—

Not us! Not human. Get it? Something non-human, but intelligent. [long pause] A non-terrestrial intelligence.

Hippy

A non-terrestrial intelligence! NTIs. Oh man, that's better than UFOs! Oh, but that works too, huh? "Underwater Flying Objects".

Lisa "One Night" Standing

This tells us how much radiation we're getting?

Hippy

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. I ain't going near no radiation. No way.

Aw, Hippy, you pussy.

Hippy

Well what good's the money [if] six months later your dick drops off?

Bud

Linds, I want you to stay away from that guy. I mean it.

Hippy

The guy is gone. Did you see his hands?

What? He's got the shakes?

Bud

Look, he's operating on his own. He's cut off from his chain of command, he's showing signs of pressure-induced psychosis and he's got a nuclear weapon. So as a personal favor to me, will you try to put your tongue in neutral for a while?

Oh, God. ( sobbing ) This is maybe not such a good idea.
Oh, my God! Bud! No! I can't, Bud! Oh, Bud, I'm scared!

Bud

No!

Deep Core

Yeah. We got you, Bud. We're here.

Men

Got it. Over.

Bud

Meet me at the moon pool, and make it fast!

Men

Now! Come on! Let's go. Hippy, get the hot packs.

Hippy

Got it.
