Sarah Hargrave
[frustrated]

I may be young, captain, but I have spent the last three years in a climate of fearsome heat, with insects as big as rats and rats as big as cats! I can certainly deal with deck hands down with fever!

Sarah Hargrave

This is my special place. It's quiet here, and I can see the house. Hollow out this ground about so deep, and line it with thatch and moss. And fill it in, and smooth it over with earth. I'll write out a prayer for you to say. We'll carve out a marker, and it will say, "Here lies Sarah Hargrave. Wife of William. Mother of Lillian." And I know I'm not your real mother, Richard, but I like to have it said "Mother of Richard."

We appreciate your hospitality and hope that you'll offer us the opportunity to repay you.

You can. You can take us with you back to civilization.

Sylvia Hilliard

I should think it must be ever so boring here.

What is the meaning of boring?

Sylvia Hilliard

Well boring's when... You have nothing whatever to do. So you're bored, like you must be here.

[suggestively]

No. We're never bored!
[Richard and Lilli grin at each other]

Mother died six years ago.

How do you follow the years?

She taught us. We count the moons, we know that twelve full moons are one year.

We have Christmas and Thanksgiving, and Easter, although we're not exactly sure we celebrate them on the right days.

It's utterly amazing, the two of you all these years on this remote, Godforsaken place.

[seriously]

Not Godforsaken, Captain Hilliard. Not Godforsaken at all.

Keep them in your sights. They may not be civilized.

Civilized. C-I-V-I-L-I-Z-I-D.

Remember what mother said about a good, firm handshake.

My name is Richard. We've been waiting for you for a long time.

I'm Lilli, and I'm ready for you to take us back to civilization.

Captain Jacob Hillard
[confused]

I'm Captain Jacob Hilliard, master of the Tradewind, and... Is this your land?

Yes, my house is there.

Captain Jacob Hillard

Well, we're in need of fresh water. Our casks are fouled. [slowly] Will you grant us permission to come ashore?

[slowly]

Yes, you are welcome here.

Sylvia Hilliard

It's no time to be thinking about Lilli!

I told her I'd never hurt her.

Sylvia Hilliard

Don't feel sorry for her, Richard. She's had you all to herself. But she doesn't own you. You're not married.

We are married!

Sylvia Hilliard

But not really. A lot of made up words in the middle of the jungle doesn't count.

It does to me.

Sylvia Hilliard

Why don't you just... Follow your heart?

[seriously]

Lilli is my heart.
[Sylvia glares at Richard and slaps him]

The first time, he almost got me. But I was too fast for him. This time, he was lying in wait, so I dive in! And I can see down his mouth, there's about five hundred teeth with stripy little fish all around his gills, and he comes at me! He misses me, stupid sea slug!

Seems silly to me.

Silly?! It's not silly, it's dangerous.

Exactly, that's why it's silly. I don't understand why you have to do it.

I like the way it makes me feel.

What do you mean?

[point to his stomach]

Inside here. It feels all alive, when I'm know I'm the master of the reef!

The master of the reef. The master of the reef!

Hey, don't you ever make fun of me!

I'm sorry.

You lied to me.

When did I lie to you?

You promised me, that you'd never hurt me.

[concerned]

And when did I hurt you?

Everytime you look at her, you hurt me.

Well, I'm sorry. It's just that she's so different.

In what way?

Well, look at her. The way she's all covered up.

[harshly]

But you said you found all those clothes stupid and unnecessary!

I do. It's just that... I wonder what she looks like underneath all of them.

You mean, you want to look at her, because you can't see her?

Yes. You remember when I wanted to go to the north side of the island, just because I couldn't?

[glaring at him]

Yes I do. [harshly] And I also remember what almost happened to you when you did go!

I always weather a storm well. I get that from mother.

Yes, you do. Captain Hilliard says he wants to set sail at dawn.

I guess that means Captain Hilliard's daughter wants to set sail at dawn.

I don't care what she wants. I don't care about her at all, I know that now, Lilli. Do you understand? You're the most important thing in the whole world to me.

Well you can set sail at dawn... But we're not going.

There's a baby growing inside me.

Lilli!... How do you know?

A woman knows these things, that's how.

[Richard smiles excitedly at her]

I won't let it be born in civilization. I want it to be born right here. Where there's no evil, and no lies, and no guns.

You're right. We'll stay here. Just the three of us. I love you, Lilli.
[Lilli smiles breezily at him]
