- Copy, Bud?

- I can't believeyou were

dumb enough to come down here.

Nowyou're stuck here for the storm ?

That was dumb, hot rod, real dumb.

I didn't come down here

to fight with you.

Yeah ? Well, then,

why did you come down ?

You need me. Nobody knows the systems

on this rig better than I do.

Onceyou're disconnected from

Explorer, you are on your own

for how long this storm lasts.

What ifsomething was to happen

after surface support clears ?

What would you have done ?

You're right. Us poor, dumb old boys

might've had to think for ourselves.

It could have been

a disaster.

- Wanna know what I think ?

-Jesus, lookwhere this thing is set.

- You wanna know what I think ?

- Not particularly.

- I thinkyou were worried about me.

- Then that must be it.

Seriously, I thinkyou were.

Come on.

It's okay.

You can admit it.

I was worried about the rig. I've

got fouryears invested in this project.

Yeah. You only had

threeyears invested in me.

Well, you have

to have priorities.

It's kind ofmessy,

but I guaranteeyou...

it's the only bunk

that won't be occupied.

You can get a couple hours rest

before we get there.

What areyou still

wearing that for ?

I don't know.

The divorce ain't final.

I forgot to take it off.

- Ihaven't wornmineinmonths.

- Yeah.

Well, what's his name

wouldn't like it-- the Suit.

Doyou always have to call him that--

''the Suit'' ?

Makes you sound like such a hick.

His name is Michael.

How is Michael--

Mr. Brooks Brothers ?

Mr. BMW.

Still seeing him ?

No.

No, I haven't seen him

in a few weeks.

Terribly sorry.

What happened ?

- Why areyou doing this ? Why ?

- What ?

This is none ofyour business.

It's not a part ofyour life anymore.

I'll tell you

what happened.

You woke up one morning

in those satin sheets.

- [ Groans ]

- You rolled over and there

was this good-looking guy,

well-groomed,

expensive watch on.

And you realized

this guy never makes me laugh.

That's it, Bud.

That's it. Aren'tyou clever ?

Jesus, you're clever.

You should startyour own talk show !

Ask Dr. Bud-- advice to the lovelorn

from 300 fathoms.

-[DisgruntledSigh]

- Thankyou. Thankyou.

Oh, sh*t.

[ One Night ]

I'm cuttin' you loose, Bud.

[BudOverRadio] One Night,

stay clear. We'resettin'herdown.

Touchdown !

[ Skipped item nr. 313 ]

This is us. We're sitting right

on the edge ofthe Cayman Trough.

This is the Montana,

We think she slid down the wall,

and now sits here on this outcropping.

So we're gonna have to

drop straight down here.

This tell us how much radiation
