The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou Page #4

future to observe a rubber tide.

That rare occurrence when 100s of electric jellyfish

spontaneously washed on to a beach all at once.

Bobby Ogata brings exactly

this to our attention tonight.

Steve, what produces this effect of illumination?

Is there chemicals inside the organism?

No, Ned, its actually the reflection of

the moon light on their outer membranes.

That is very good outlet.

Klaus, come over here, get a shoot

of me and Ned. Ned, come in here.

Would you like to join my crew?

-Would I like to...

-I want you on team Zissou!

-I don't think I can do that.

-Why not?

Well, it's my field, I don't

have a background before.

No one here does.

Klaus used to be a bus driver.

Wolodarsky was a high

school substitute teacher.

We are a pack of

straights, don't you get it?

See, I am not even

that strong in swimming.

-The answer is Yes.

-Well, it's gotta be.

I will order you a

red cap and a Speedo.

Cut.

-Klaus, why aren't you rolling?

-Can I have a word with you please?

Why aren't you getting this?

That was a God damn tear

jerker why did you cut it, man!?

Because this sounds going to be sh*t he

does not even know how to hold a broom.

He doesn't diddly jack

about work with me.

Don't cut unless I say cut.

I never seen so many

electric jellyfish in my life.

Thay are Viacon madawores.

Ah, sh*t, she is right.

Where do you come

from? You look pregnant.

I am pregnant, not even going ask what you men are

doing out here with your matching pajamas by the way.

We are producing a film

as a matter of a fact.

Who are you?

I am Jane Winslet-Richardson, I am the

reporter from Oceanographic explorer.

-Oh, yea, sure, how did you get out here?

-I hired some drunk in a fishing boat.

That would take 4 hours,

why would you do... that?

-Because no one picked me up at the FN airport.

-Jesus Christ, Klaus.

One of my guys suppose to do that.

How long have you been

working with Zissou?

Ah... Approximately... only 10 minutes actually.

I was hired doing the scene on the beach.

He is Steve's son supposedly.

You are? No, you are

not, he doesn't have one.

We are not 100% sure about

that yet, we just met yesterday.

Not this one, Klaus.

You heard me, not this one.

Ok.

First thing in the morning.

-It's got everything?

- Yeah, tell him to pus a stop and a half (photographic term)

What are you going to do with him?

Who? Ned?

What do you mean?

I don't understand the question.

I offered him a spot

on the Bellefontaine.

He didn't take it, did he?

Of course he took it, we are going

to put him on the map, Eleanor!

We are going to throw

him a life-preserver.

I believe in this boy.

Why?

Because he looks up to me.
