There's so many things I don't understand, like why do the fish stop swimming and lie on top of the tide pools after a heavy rain? Why do you hear the waves inside the big shells? Why are all these funny hairs growing on me? I wish a big book with all the answers to every question in the world would drop out of the sky and land in my hands right now. I'd read it till I knew everything.
Emmeline Oh Richard, you can't know everything. Only God knows everything.
God. He can't find us any better than Santa Claus.
Emmeline Your muscles.
What about them? You're really acting silly lately, Em. Always saying dumb things like that. Always looking at me funny! You're not coming down with something, are you? Don't give it to me.
Emmeline [mocking Richard]
It doesn't scare them away unless I can spear them! [throws an umbrella that acted as the spear]
[overpowering Emmeline]
Say "Richard is the smartest on this island"!
Emmeline No!
Emmeline Stop it, Richard! I'm getting angry! Stop it! Now, get off!
Emmeline Richard is the smartest person on this island!
Emmeline Fastest swimmer!
Emmeline Fastest runner!
Emmeline You're the best at everything, Richard! Now, get off!
[smirks]
It's true! [releasing Emmeline]
Emmeline Just you wait, Richard Lestrange, you'll never know when it's gonna happen! Just one little bite and you'll never wake up again!
Emmeline You're such a silly dodo, Richard. We're never getting off this island.
Emmeline This is where we live, Richard. This is our home, now and forever.
No! I could never live here with just you! I don't even like you! You never used to laugh at me! You never used to have secrets you wouldn't tell me!
Emmeline Well you're not so perfect either, Mr. Richard Lestrange. I've seen you playing with it, and I'll tell your father, if he ever gets here.
You! I hate you! [throws a rock at her narrowly missing her]
Emmeline You almost hit me!
Take it back! Take back what you said!
Emmeline [mockingly]
I've seen it all! What happens after you've been doing it a long time?
Shut up! That isn't fair peeking, I don't peek on you!
Emmeline That's a lie! You're always staring at my buppies.
Only 'cause they look so funny! You what you look like now, Em? You look like one of those pictures Paddy had in his drawer, one of his hootchie-cootchie girls!
Em, are you alright? Oh, I've been so worried!
Emmeline You mean, you're not mad at me anymore?
Oh, of course not. All I could think of was, what would I ever do without my Em? What would I do?
[while eating fruit]
Kiss me.
Emmeline You're all sticky!
Emmeline [Emmeline kisses him, but Richard won't let her go.]
Stop, I can't breathe.
Emmeline [Richard squeezes mango juice on Emmeline and kisses her.]
What are you doing? Stop it!
I have a funny feeling in my stomach.
Emmeline Me too.
My heart is beating so fast.
Emmeline Mine too.
Emmeline [Richard tries to kiss Emmeline, but she cringes.]
I'm sorry, Richard.
You didn't want to all yesterday, either. What's the matter, Em, don't you love me anymore?
Emmeline Yes, I love you more than ever, Richard.
Then why don't you want to do it?
Emmeline It just hurts right now, that's all. When it stops hurting we'll do it.
When is that gonna be? I don't understand, Em. Why does it hurt?
Emmeline I don't know. I don't know anything. But if you touch my tummy right now, you can feel it.
Feel what? [puts his hand on her belly] How'd you make your tummy move like that?
Emmeline I'm not doing it.
It's not doing it by itself.
Emmeline Yes it is.
Why are we always fighting so much?
Emmeline I don't know.
That should be our new year's revolution. Stop fighting so much.
Emmeline I'll try, but...
Emmeline I don't know what's wrong with me when I say the things I say. I just keep having all these strange thoughts.
Emmeline Just funny thoughts about you and me.
Emmeline I couldn't. Their just thoughts; they don't mean anything.
[runs to her, excitedly]
Emmeline! Emmeline! A ship! A ship! [stops, worried] The signal fire you didn't light it! Why didn't you light it?! Why Em, Why? You know how much important me to leave, It's the most important thing in the whole world to me!
Emmeline I know.
First you cry for help, then you throw sticks at me. A ship comes, a ship! First ship we've seen since we've been here, and you let it go by. Just let it go by, well that's it? I've had it! I'm sick and tired of waiting for you to get better, I'm going to San Francisco [he pronounces it San Farisco] without you!
