Yes, Sir, and Mckernan's going

to take my shadow flights.

That is right.

I just feel like I need to

see this thing through, so...

Thank you for understanding. I'll check

in with the Louisville office next month.

(Jane, reading a book)

Hold it!

That's poetry?

No, It's a six volume novel.

Oh, I see. You are going read that

whole thing to yourself out loud?

I am not reading it to myself,

I am reading it to... him.

When did you learn

Zissou was your father?

-Does it freak you out for me to ask that?

-No, it doesn't.

But its a difficult question. I sew

the pieces together over the years.

Well, How did he first contact you?

He didn't. I went looking for him

last month after my mother died.

She had ovarian cancer, then it

spread to her stomach and liver

and she took her own life.

Oh...

-Oh, good night I guess.

-Good night

Do you mind if I sit down

and listen for a little while?

Ok.

Do you want me to catch

you up on the story?

No, I will be able to figure it out.

I'll just catch as much as I can.

They made these about...

3 and a half year before they

terminated my sponsorship.

These are great!

May I turn this on?

Fire one.

So, what happened in your opinion?

What are you talking about?

Well, don't you think the public reception of your

work is significantly odd over the last 5 years!

That's your first question! I

thought this suppose to be puff piece.

Should we come back to it?

Yeah...

Ok...

Is it true this is going

to be your last voyage?

Wow, no comment.

Who told you that?

No, God damn it! I am only 52.

I am gonna to start

with some stark dialog.

favourite colour, blue,

favourite food, sardines.

How do you feel about

part 1 of your new film?

Why? How do you feel about

part 1 of my new film?

-Well, I am honest, you know.

-Just say it!

I thought I suspect

it is slightly fake.

Wolodarsky, I am going

to take 5 (minutes).

Did it seem fake...

when my best friend was bitten

in half right in front of me?

and eaten alive screaming?

I think you are fake.

I think you are phoney.

Not a bad reporter.

How's that feel?

and tell me something

Does this seem fake?

How dare you!

This entire article was my

idea, no one else gives a sh*t!

What about Si Brooman?

Are you joking, he is not

even covering my expenses.

You are taking something out on me.

Wah, stop crying.

What is the deal here? I was

only trying to defend myself.

Well, you did a great job.

I am sure you will

make a terrific father.

So...

You really think you are a Zissou?

I don't know.

You travelled a long way

for "I don't know" sonny.

That's true

but it's important to me.

Yah, well, there are a lot of things that are
