Klaus
So, you really think you're a Zissou.
Ned
I don't know.
Klaus
Well, you traveled a long way for "I don't know," sonny.
Ned
That's true. But it's important to me.
Klaus
Yeah? Well, there are a lot of things that are important to some people around here, sonny.
Ned
Klaus, don't call me "sonny."
Klaus
And one more thing: It's the Steve Zissou show, not the Ned show. [slaps Ned in the face] You hear me?
Ned
Yes, I do. Klaus?
Klaus
Ja?
Ned
If you ever touch me again, I will kick your goddamn teeth out. Is that understood?
Klaus
Not if I don't see you first, sonny.
