Dark Tide Page #2
- I've never seen one.
Do you have any idea
why they're called the right whale?
Because they swim on the right?
Well, they're the right whale
because they're high in oil...
and they're slow to swim.
That traditionally makes them
easy to catch.
Oh.
However, luckily for them,
they're protected now
and not so easy to catch.
Oh.
Listen. You hear that?
What does that sound like?
They don't sound like penguins.
Listen.
Sounds like your sweet mother on the loo.
What did you say?
- I said I can hear them. Can you?
- What?
Nothing.
Those are the, uh, jackass penguins.
- Oh.
- Mom, she said "ass".
Do the sharks eat the penguins?
- It happens.
- Oh, yeah?
- They eat husbands?
- Very funny.
What you have here is
the world famous Cape fur seals.
This is the largest
seal colony in the Cape.
And if you look real closely,
you just might see some little pups.
We just had a gang of them
born here recently.
There's about 10,000
born here in the Cape every year.
Sadly, most of them
will never see their first birthday.
There's loads!
That's pretty. Look at it.
Shall I get a picture?
- You know what to click?
- You got it.
Sharks eat seals, right?
Yep. They sure do.
So where are they?
Oh, they're out there. Trust me.
This is the largest feeding ground
for sharks in the world.
So even though we can't see them,
they're out there.
Hey, great tour, by the way, huh?
- There you go.
- Those seals are so cute, really.
- Pays the bills.
- Doesn't look like it.
But you still look hot.
Hey, Tommy.
She looks hot or what?
- Yeah.
- See?
- For her age.
- Great. You're fired.
So, you're still pissed at me?
Come on.
You miss me. I miss you.
No need to play it cool.
You seeing somebody?
You mean, uh, lately?
No, it's been about a year now.
Right.
How old is she? 19?
Oh, man, this is bad news.
Bad news.
Aah.
There's a lot of water in the bilge.
You think it's the cutlass?
I don't know, Kate.
Could be the stuffing box.
Could be a seacock is leaking, I think.
Could be a what, Captain?
Did you say "seacock"?
- Why?
- Say it again. I love your accent.
What accent? I don't have an accent.
Seacock. Seacock.
- "Seacock".
- Whatever.
Anyway,
You should take the boat
out of the water and check it.
That's what I think.
Thank you.
I missed you, man.
Come here. Give me a hug.
Forward. Forward. Yeah.
Good. Come.
How's my right hand?
Away from the wall.
Okay. I got it. Oh, yeah.
Hey, I'm sorry.
For what?
For What I did.
What'd you do?
I don't know. What did I do?
Well, if you don't know that,
then there's no sense
having this conversation.
Well, you know, we all deal
with sh*t in different ways.
Yeah. I can see that.
But you're really the best.
Come on. Sea Tours?
What's that about?
You're not a tour guide.
Oh, yeah. 'Cause you're doing something
so much better, huh?
No.
But I remind you that we were supposed
to make movies together about sharks.
Remember?
We were gonna be
the first ones...
to film them mating, calving.
Looks like that didn't happen.
Sorry you're so unhappy.
- Because you are happy?
- I am happy.
No. No. You are angry.
I'm not angry. That's...
I'm not angry.
You think I'm angry, but I'm not.
You have no idea
what's wrong with me.
- That's the problem.
- I'm sorry I can't read your mind.
Why not? We're married.
You should be able to.
You walked out, not me.
You wanted me to walk out.
I wanted you to feel.
I wanted you to care about me.
I care. I care.
That's the problem.
And I always care!
But after what happened to Themba,
you became impossible to be around.
It was easy for you just
to get back out on the water.
No, no, no. That's easy for you
to feel sorry for yourself as you do.
- "It's my fault. It's my fault".
- It is my fault.
- No!
- Yes!
If it wasn't for me,
I know that's hard
for you to understand, but it's true.
Now, if that makes me impossible,
I'm sorry.
- Excuse me.
- Whoa!
They're gonna take the boat.
Zukie,
why don't you just
sew your mouth shut?
I just told the truth!
I'm here to help.
Push me again.
I don't need your help.
So stubborn.
- I'm not stubborn.
- Yes, you are.
No, I'm not.
I have a job offer.
A lot of money.
Enough to save the boat.
Give me your phone.
Where's my number?
It's not in there.
Erased it.
Can I have my phone, please?
Now it is.
The guy is coming in tomorrow morning.
Give me a call
if you want to meet him.
Or don't!
Kate, are you gonna call him?
Nope.
He's right. You're miserable.
You're making everyone
around you miserable.
Look in the mirror. See that?
That is a horrible,
miserable face. Yeah?
You're gonna end up
like one of those old women...
with 45 cats, smelling like wee.
- Just take the money.
- First of all, that's disgusting.
Second of all,
why are you on his side?
See this? A fuel bill.
It needs to get paid. Yeah?
See this?
It needs to get paid, okay?
As devastatingly handsome as I am,
I can't keep going out on dates with girls
saying, "Oh, we having champagne?"
I say, "No, we're having
tap water. Grab a straw".
Stop. Be quiet, okay?
- What?
- Okay?
All of that. All of that. Yeah. Uh-huh.
You were a lot cooler when you
Kiss and make up. It's time.
Like it's that easy, Zukie.
You're being too hard on Jeff.
Meet him halfway.
Can you just stop, stop,
stop, stop talking?
- Be quiet.
- We need the money, Kate.
We need the money.
- Take his offer.
- No.
- Why not?
- Because.
- Because?
- Because. That's why.
Because I said because.
Because what?
Zukie, because.
Because you're still in hiding.
by his choices.
I've been married to that stubbornness
for over 40 years.
Believe me.
You know...
He died on his terms.
Not yours, and certainly not mine.
Okay?
Now go. Go see that boy
and give him a big hug for me.
Now you go.
Bye, Zukie.
Promise.
You have to get right up close,
and you have to be able
to feel them and touch them.
They have to be able
to trust you...
in order to show you
who they are...
and teach you the things
that you need to learn.
And it's important
to get out of the cage...
Wow.
That is amazing.
Look at that.
She's the only one
in the world who does it.
And lives to tell the tale.
Hey.
Hello.
Katie Mathieson, William Brady.
- Hello.
- I am honored.
What you do is quite extraordinary.
If only my acquisitions managers
had your nerve,
then I'd be a rich man,
and I could afford to get married again.
- My son Luke.
- Hi. Nice to meet you.
- And you.
- You have beautiful eyebrows, you know.
Stunning.
Oh, God.
- Really. Stunning.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Sorry. I notice things like that.
It's a compliment.
Yeah. I like them, too.
Ooh. Can we turn this off?
Uh-huh.
You don't like compliments.
