the shark that eat my friend and destroy it.

Anyone who is care to join

Captain Zissou, I am sorry to

bother you. I am Ned Plimpton.

My mother's Catherine Plimpton.

You kidding?

No.

How is she?

I am sorry. Sh*t!

She was...

I don't know if it is true

or not by the way, do you?

No, I don't.

I haven't heard

from her in 30 years.

I guess its too late now.

She never contacted me, you know.

Yes, I see.

You are suppose to

be my son, right?

I don't know...

but I did want to meet

you... just in case

I appreciate that.

I'll be right back. Don't go away.

(Song:
Life on Mars Sailors

fighting in the dance hall

Oh man! Look at those cavemen go

It's the freakiest show

Take a look at the Lawman

Beating up the wrong guy

Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know

He's in the best selling show

Is there life on Mars?)

Sorry about that you caught me with

one foot off the the other one tonight.

That's alight, I don't wanna

take too much of your time.

I wanna thank you

for talking to me.

-We'll find a way, mate.

-I know we will.

I just had a lovely

chat with Si brooman.

He wants you to make an

Oceanographic explorer article.

Possibly going to be the front cover

so do be nice to this girl, Won't you?

Apparently she worships you

and clearly need the press.

Oseary, this is probably

my son, Ned. We just met.

Anyway, his mother just died.

Plus we are having some problems.

I just think it to be a very

special opportunity for all

Ok, bring him over.

So, what do you do?

I am a pilot, Air Kentucky.

-Air Kentucky -

co-pilot actually.

-Yeah, I don't know that one.

-We help out at Louisville.

Sure, there is pretty

country in those parts.

Landlocked

I have to tell you I have been a member

of the Zissou Society since I was 11.

Well, I will be

damned, look at that!

Wanna kill this?

Frankly, I been denied I

don't usually try grass.

Let me tell you about my boat.

The Bellefontaine was a long range

sub hunter during the 2nd world war,

which we bought from the

US navy for 900,000 dollars.

This is my mentor Lord

Mandrake, he is dead now.

The sauna, which was designed by a

engineer from the Chinese space programme

and we keep a Swedish

masseuse on staff

Here is where we do all our different

science projects, experiments and so on.

This is the kitchen which contains probably some of the

most technologically advanced equipments on the ship.

Eleanor and I put together a

top notch research library for us

with complete 1st edition set

of life aquatic companion series.

We process our own rushes and keep a cutting man

on board so we can do a assemble while shoot it.
