Beyond the Poseidon Adventure Page #3

Understand? Everything.

Let's just get it out of here, okay?

Which way, captain?

We were hoping

you'd give us the answer.

Oh, my God.

The rest of your crew, they're

on their way down here right now?

No.

Those two over there are my crew.

All of it.

- Just the three of you?

- That's right.

What, did you come by canoe?

You, what are you doing down here?

I'm Dr. Stefan Svevo, Mr. Mazzetti...

...and I've been asking myself

that same question.

Oh, my God.

My daughter, she hated this trip.

She wanted to stay home

for Christmas.

I said, "Honey, I want you to see

where I fought the war in Italy. Anzio."

Anzio? I've been to Anzio.

Anzio's the pits.

- You sound just like my daughter.

- Easy, Mazzetti.

How well do you know this ship, Gina?

Hardly at all. It's my first voyage.

Well, there must be a deck plan

around here somewhere.

There's always one in every section.

Look, I used the gym a couple of times.

Seems like there's a deck plan

in the lobby over there.

The ladies stay here.

The rest of you,

help me find a deck plan.

Through here.

- I guess I was wrong.

- There it is.

We're here.

Here it is. Here it is.

We found it.

- You found a way out?

- No.

But we found the purser's office.

You're a very single-minded man,

captain.

- And some would say callously so.

- Watch out.

The way I see it, doctor,

is that we're all trapped here anyway...

...so I see no reason not to try

and get what I originally came for.

Here.

Look, forget the purser's office.

I gotta find my kid.

Mazzetti!

- Look, I'm sorry, I didn't know.

- Neither did I.

Okay, so I was stupid.

But somebody's gotta do something.

We just can't sit around.

Look, she's alive, I know it.

I can feel it.

Fine. Then you tell us where she is,

and we'll all go look for her.

- I don't know.

- Then shut up and calm down.

We have as good a chance

of finding your daughter or way out...

...by heading for the purser's office

as anywhere.

And that is through there.

Now let's go.

After you, skipper. Come on.

Keep on moving, that's my philosophy.

I really don't see

that there's any alternative.

We're putting our faith in you, captain.

What, you're putting your faith in him?

An hour ago, he's sunbathing

up there on the poop deck.

Now he's down

in this underwater coffin...

...trapped with the rest of us,

that's how smart he is.

You.

You haven't come forward yet.

You look like a reasonable man.

What do you say we throw in together?

We'll find my daughter

and get the hell out of here.

May I see the deck plan, please?

Well, I'm afraid my knowledge

of ships and underwater conditions...

...falls far short of Captain Turner's.
