Oh! Oh, no! Oh! Oh!

Take the wheel!

I'm sorry?

- Take the wheel.

- No, I can't.

- Sure, you can.

- I don't know how.

Nobody does till they learn.

What are you doing?

Better take the wheel

or we'll be swimming soon.

Whoa, take it easy!

Take it easy!

Hold her gently.

She'll damn near fly herself.

See? Just like driving a car.

Where do I pull off the road?

No, you're doing fine.

I'll keep you out of trouble.

- Relax.

- Where are we going?

One time, I was flying supplies

up the Amazon

when I came down in the jungle.

- You won't tell me?

- I was picked up by head-hunters,

and taken to their chief.

- You are impossible!

- He looked at me

and took me in his hut.

Inside his hut,

there was a long pole...

What is all this?

Just a little something

I arranged to cheer you up.

- No, really.

- What?

- Tell me, what is all this?

- A local festival.

It's called a junkanoo.

'I'm not hearing

anything up here, buddy.'

How many have you tagged, exactly?

How many?

Michael... stop busting my bunghie.

Yeah, it's OK for you,

but not for me, huh?

Have no fear, Jake is here.

I just struck the mother lode.

I'm counting.

'Watch yourself with

that fancy equipment, buddy.'

Such a live wire'll

make your hair stick up funny.

That's good, Michael. William?

Yeah, there's no hope for that boy.

Jake? Jake, that's a joke.

Holy sh*t!

We got a big fish down here, man.

Oh, yeah? How big?

- Jesus!

- Look out!

What's wrong?

Ellen?

Jesus Christ!

- Ellen, what's wrong?

- Nothing. Nothing. I'm fine.

- No, you're not.

- I'm terrific.

Come on!

Give it up!

You can't keep doing this.

- I can't keep doing THIS.

- You promised me a drink.

Sharks come and go, Ellen.

People have nothing to do with it.

- A drink with an umbrella in it.

- Ellen, give it up.

Give it a kick in the arse.

Get on with your life.

I know what you've been through.

Don't worry.

The nightmares'll go away.

Give me my glasses, man.

Boy, I ain't never seen

nothin' so big. Never!

I was right next to Michael.

The thing went right past me!

Should've gone for you, Jake.

Why did it come up?

- What's it doing in warm water?

- What's the difference?

It's only a shark.

A big, big, beautiful shark.

And it's ours.

Don't say anything to anyone.

Fishermen would try to kill it.

Michael, we got us a great white.

Now we gonna do some real research.

Do me a favour, don't say

anything about this to my mom.

Hey, man, I didn't mean to,

you know, flap my lips, eh?

So...

So?

I said to him,

"Where's the disinfectant?"

He said, "I've left it in town."

So I said,

"What are we gonna do?"

So he says,

"I'll tell you what we'll do.

"Come back at lunchtime, all the

flies will be in the kitchen."

Come to bed.

He took her sightseeing.

Well, you work. I work.

She needs someone to help her

take her mind off things.

I'll help you take YOUR mind

off things, sailor.

It's soaking.

Thank you.

Good night.

Good night.

Louisa.

It's OK, Jake.

I'll check on the table.

- OK, everything rides.

-Ooh, it's Hoagie!

Hey, come on, I wanna see this.

Oh, that's Hoagie, all right.

Everything on the line.

- You're not betting it all?

- All or nothing at all.

- Here, do you want to throw for me?

- No!

Now get ready. Are you ready?

- I guess that's bad?

- Depends on your point of view.

Ooh, look at that. Come here.

Ooh, look at you. You look great!

It's on the house.

I knew there was a reason

I could afford this.

Thank you, Shirley!

My father used to say, "Jake,

you got two loves in your life -

"what you do and who you're with."

- Happy birthday, Louisa.

- Happy birthday!

- And a Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year!

- Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year.

Don't go weak in the knees

on me tonight, boy.

You're gonna need

all the strength you got.

I knew a one-armed piano player,

took two minutes

to play the Minute Waltz.

Watch how you talk.

Michael and I are about to be famous.

- Tell 'em.

- Jake!

No job talk. You promised.

You promised.

Right.

Would you risk

a dance with me, madam?

- You'll be sorry.

- So will you. I have two right feet.

That's good, I have two left.

Well, that's a set.

A little quiet tonight.

- New Year's blues?

- No, not at all.

Come on. It's my party.

He's just Michael, he's startin' to

count them damn conch in his sleep.

Excuse me.

- Mind if I cut in?

- Please.

The world would be a better place

if more sons danced

with their mothers.

Michael, stop pouting.

You look like you did when you were

six and didn't get what you wanted.

I like him. I enjoy his company.

Yeah. I don't like him

chasing around after you.

I don't trust him.

He's not chasing.

You are being ridiculous.

I've been a pain in the ass

and I'm sorry.

I'm not gonna bother you

about your work.

- You're not a pain.

- Let me finish.

I've been rehearsing this all day.

Sean's death almost killed me.

I'll never get over it,

but I refuse to let myself

be run by an obsession.

I can't keep on believing

it was intentional.

I finally figured it out.

Good.

That's it, "good"?

I thought you'd break out

the champagne.

No, I-I-I'm pleased.

Come on. Show your mother

what a good dancer you are.

Where is everybody?

Down here!

- Where is Clarence and William?

- I gave them the day off.

What for? We got a job to finish.

Why are you making a transmitter?

It's all part of the master plan.

We're gonna test it out right now.

We're gonna learn about

its motor systems, its heart rate.

We're going to study

a magnificent animal

no one knows that much about.

As the sun sets, we bid a

fond farewell to the family of conch.

What the hell

are you talking about?

We wrap it up and hand it in.

Why is your heart stronger than mine?

We don't write up anything

till we're finished.

When I was a boy, my father said,

"Never do anything today

you can put off till tomorrow."

Them conch gonna be there tomorrow.

- When we got the grant, it said...

- No, when I got the grant.

- OK, when I signed on, I...

- When I invited you.

- We got the grant together.

- When we got it together.

We got three months' work left

on this. We can't write a report.

Michael, we got a rare bird here.

You know that, huh?

Great white don't come down

to the Bahamas, never.

Do we let an opportunity

just swim away?

My name's on the report.

A half-assed job, I don't get

my doctorate and neither do you.

I thought we were planning

a rosy future together.

So did I.

Hey! Hey!

Michael?

Anybody home in there at all?

You better beam down to Earth

with the rest of us.

If that shark's still in the water,

it won't be there forever.

It's gonna figure out

the water's too warm.

Look at me and tell me you don't want

to study that fish as much as I do.

Michael? Huh?

This is what we trained for.

This is what we studied

them damn books for.

Remember,

my name goes on that report, too.

It's as important to me

as it is to you, right?

All right,
