Swept Away Page #2

Synopsis: Amber is 40, beautiful, rich, spoiled, and arrogant beyond measure. Nothing makes this woman happy, including her wealthy but passive husband (Tony), a pharmaceutical kingpin. When Tony takes her on a private cruise from Greece to Italy, Amber is unimpressed at this impromptu no-frills vacation, and takes out her anger on the ship's first mate, Giuseppe. When a storm leaves the two shipwrecked on a deserted island, however, the tables suddenly turn...

- It's a coffeepot, actually.

What's in the coffeepot, Pee Pee?

- Coffee, madam.

- Reheated coffee?

- Yes.

- What am I supposed to do with that?

Drink it?

- It's not his fault.

- Whose fault is it then, Todd?

Who's paying whom

to do what around here?

- Say something, Anthony.

- Would you accommodate my wife, please?

Accommodate? Does this mean

live in my cabin, sir?

- Is this what you mean?

- I think that was a joke.

- He's being rude, Anthony.

- Let me deal with this.

Would you please make my wife

a fresh pot of coffee, Mr. Esposito?

Certainly, professor.

I'm going to kill that f***ing b*tch

with a kitchen knife!

You surprise me. You told me that a real

man's duty is to preserve his dignity.

That's why I'm going to kill

the f***ing b*tch with a kitchen knife!

If she's so much of a problem,

stay away from her.

Easy for you to say!

She's not hunting you down.

Everywhere I turn, there she is!

I feel like...

...a lame gazelle stalked by

the eyes of an angry leopard!

Very theatrical.

Now, clean the boiler.

The advantages of chemicals

are all around us.

- Do we have to listen to that again?

- 4000.

We were playing for $20, and now...

...it's 4000?

- You don't think I'm good for it?

- Can't you control your wife?

- Can't you control yours?

- It's changed the atmosphere.

- You're Mr. Moneybags.

I am on vacation.

Stop being such a p*ssy, Michael.

If you haven't got money,

I'll take jewellery and shoes.

I fold. I have no interest in playing

"get f***ed quick" with Imelda Marcos here.

Guido!

When you've put that reptile down,

can you empty the ashtrays?

- Thank you.

- So go on. Chemicals. Advantages.

Where would we be without

fertilizers and pesticides?

Ask Peppe. He was a fisherman

until pollution put an end to that.

- Pollution is so terrible.

- God. This isn't a sad story, is it?

- Ask him what he thinks.

- Nothing wrong with chemicals.

- What do you think about pesticides?

- Whatever.

- Let him get on with his job.

- Come on. You gotta have an opinion.

If it's man-made, I don't trust it.

You can't cut corners with nature.

Chemicals has made life easier,

but easier doesn't mean better.

Money corrupts principles. You can't

see clearly when money is involved.

Not money and principles.

Now, this is interesting. Go on.

Chemicals has made

a few people very rich.

But as they say, no such thing

as a free lunch. Pay now or pay later.

When you pay later, you don't know

the interest charged...

...and who's gonna pay it.

- Very good.

- Yes, very good.

Thank you, nature boy. Now,

could you please empty the ashtray?

- Lf it weren't so hot, I'd go swimming.

- You wouldn't. The water would be too cold.
