You know me ?
Mariner
I know what you are.
Good. Then you know if you look for trouble while you're here, you'll find more than you can handle.
You got two hours.
Mariner
I'll only need one.
Deacon
What you got?
Nord
Couple of heartbeats over there. Aren't saying much.
Deacon
If you'll notice the arterial nature of the blood coming from the hole in my head, you can assume that we're all having a real lousy day. So here it is, I need to know about that tattooed girl. First one that tells me lives.
I saw a girl. I saw...
It was... she had a big tattoo on her.
Deacon
You won. Start over.
I saw a girl. I'm not sure, but I think she got on that boat with three hulls.
Deacon
The boat that cost me 1,000 G's of go-juice?
Yeah, the mute-o's boat.
Deacon
Mute-o?
Yeah. He got these slits here. Like... [laughs] like fish gills. He wasn't really a man. fluke of evolution.
Deacon
Oh, I'm sorry. A fluke of, uh...
Evolution.
Deacon
I know! Let's have an intelligent conversation here: I'll talk, and you listen. In the beginning, the provider said, 'Let there be water, and the seas came forth. He created everything that we know. The sun, the air that we breathe. He made, also, both man and fish, and no combination thereof. He does not abide the notion... OF EVOLUTION!
Nord
Amen!
Amen!
No! No, you said you wouldn't kill me!
Deacon
Did I say that?!
Yes, yes, yes! You said... you said it!
Deacon
Oh, I may have... I may have! [Gives gun to Nord who then executes the screaming Atoll captive 2] We get to the 'Deez, tank up that sky boat, send it out on patrol. [Pulls down eye patch to reveal empty eye socket] We gotta keep an eye out for that ichthy-freak.
Deacon
Why aren't you rowing? [The Mariner removes his mask]
Nord
It's him.
Enola
It is him! You guys are in so much trouble!
Deacon
Well, I'll be damned. It's the gentleman guppy.
Nord
You know, he's like a turd that won't flush.
Mariner
I want the girl.
Deacon
You know, I thought you were stupid, friend. But I underestimated you. You are a total freaking ****! [Derisively laughs']
Mariner
I want the girl. That's all.
Deacon
Well, what on this screwed-up earth of ours makes you think you're gonna get her? [The Mariner takes a flare from his belt, and holds it over a fume pipe leading down to the Deez's fuel hold]
Mariner
You know what this is. I drop it, you burn.
We all burn...
Deacon
Now-now-now, let's not do anything rash here. I mean, are you sure this kid is worth it? I mean, she never does stop talking, she never shuts up!
Mariner
I noticed.
Deacon
So what is it, then? It's the map.
Mariner
She's my friend.
Deacon
Golly gee, a single tear rolls down my cheek. You're gonna die for your friend.
Mariner
If it comes to that. [Ignites the flare, and holds it over the fume pipe again]
Nord
He's bluffing! I'll kill him.
Enola
He's not bluffing, he never bluffs.
Deacon
SHUT UP! [To the Mariner] I- I- I- I- I don't think you're gonna drop that torch, my friend.
Mariner
Why not?
Deacon
Because you're not crazy. [The Mariner smiles, lifts his hand, and drops the flare down the hole] NO...!
Deacon
Well? How's it look?
Not bad, not bad at all...
I- I like it better than your real eye.
Much better.
Deacon
What do you say, Toby? The truth.
Looks like shit.
Deacon
That's why I love children: no guile. [looks at his new eye in a mirror] It DOES look like shit! And it feels like cold shit! [Ball bearing falls out and rolls on floor]
Deacon
All right, that's it! If you won't tell us where she is, let's just KILL 'EM ALL! [He fires a gun into the air]
Enola
NO!
Deacon
Ha-ha, so gullible!
Sir? Your Deaconship? Good day! Or night. Whatever the case may be...
Deacon
What is it? I'm a busy man.
I thought you should know. There's exactly nine feet and four inches of THE BLACK STUFF... [the Deacon spits on the Depth Gauge's head] Oh, thank you!
Enola
He's killed dozens of people, and he doesn't have any mercy or anything. He even kills little girls.
Nord
Haven't we all?
Enola
You're not so tough, you know that? How many people have you killed? Ten? Twenty?
Mariner
You talk a lot.
Enola
I talk a lot because you don't talk at all. Now, how many?
Mariner
Including little girls?
Enola
I'm not afraid of you. I told Helen you wouldn't be so ugly if you cut your hair.
Mariner
In fact, you talk all the time. It's like a storm when you're around!
You see? Right down there. There's several of us survivors. We'll just start over again.
You can't ask us to go get her !
Enola's the reason we're in all this trouble.
Helen
They don't have any reason to kill her. They need to find Dryland just like we do.
Of course.
Helen
If the Mariner's willing to go, why not us ?
If he wants to go, then let him !
We don't want you here! You or the girl !
Helen. The papers the Mariner brought you, it's the same language the tattoo is written in. They're numbers.
Gregor, you're as crazy as she is !
We can't stay here !
Mariner
We're wasting valuable time. More Smokers will come. We need to be moving now!
My friends, don't you see we need this child if we want to find Dryland?
Helen
Did you see anything out there?
Mariner
See what?
Helen
An end, to all this water?
Mariner
That old woman they buried today? She found the only end there is.
Helen
You've been there, haven't you? Dryland? You know where it is.
Mariner
Yeah, I know where it is.
Helen
And, uh, and we're going?
Mariner
You and I are. The kid we gotta pitch over the side.
Helen
What?
Mariner
My boat's tore up. I'm taking on water. [Points to water filtration] I'd be lucky to get half a hydro ration out of that.
Helen
You know, I said I won't drink.
Mariner
For twelve days?
Helen
Mariner
No. It's better that one of you dies now, then both of you die slow.
Helen
Wait, wait. We saved your life. We got you out.
Mariner
No. You got me out so you could get out. We're even.
Helen
She can cook. She can fish.
Mariner
So can I.
Helen
Here. Take my necklace. Take my necklace.
Mariner
I got better ones below.
Helen
No, look! After what you went through back there on the atoll, I can understand why you would want to. But she's a child.
Mariner
Two drifters meet. Something needs to be exchanged.
I know the code. But I'll give this one to you for free.
Mariner
Nothing's free in Waterworld.
Mariner
What are the markings on her back?
Helen
Some say it's the way to dry land.
Mariner
Dry land is a myth.
Helen
No, you said it yourself, that you've seen it.
Mariner
You're a fool to believe in something you've never seen.
Helen
But the things on your boat...!
Mariner
The things on my boat... WHAT?!
Helen
There are things on your boat that no one has ever seen! These shells, the music box and the reflecting glass! Well, if not from dry land, then where?! Where?!
Mariner
You wanna see dry land? You really wanna see it? I'll take you there.
Nord
So which way we rowin'?
Deacon
I don't have a goddamn clue. Don't worry, they'll row for a month before they figure out I'm fakin' it.
