of being in the right spot.

492

00:
54:25,971 -- 00:54:28,348

lt's being there on time.

493

00:
54:28,432 -- 00:54:32,060

We were on time! We were early!

He said 1 0:
30!

494

00:
54:32,144 -- 00:54:34,520

Do we always have to cut it so close?

495

00:
54:34,605 -- 00:54:38,149

For God's sake, can't... Would it kill us

once just to stay with the group?

496

00:
54:38,233 -- 00:54:41,778

Do we always have to do

everything differently than everybody else?

497

00:
54:41,862 -- 00:54:45,239

God, we shouldn't have spent so much time

with that goddamn eel.

498

00:
54:45,324 -- 00:54:47,742

That was a nice touch, adding "we."

499

00:
54:47,826 -- 00:54:51,704

Especially, since you wanted

to have nothing to do with that f***ing eel.

500

00:
54:51,789 -- 00:54:52,997

Do you honestly...

501

00:
54:53,082 -- 00:54:57,085

Seriously, honey, do you honestly think

that we got left behind

502

00:
54:57,169 -- 00:54:58,962

because we were late?

503

00:
54:59,546 -- 00:55:00,964

l'm serious.

504

00:
55:01,340 -- 00:55:03,424

Do you have any idea

how idiotic that sounds?

505

00:
55:03,509 -- 00:55:07,178

So now l'm an idiot?

We are where we are, aren't we?

506

00:
55:07,262 -- 00:55:09,514

Yes, fine. Yes, because of me.

507

00:
55:11,266 -- 00:55:13,851

You refused to swim.

508

00:
55:15,396 -- 00:55:19,524

My God. There were boats all around us,

and you refused.

509

00:
55:19,608 -- 00:55:22,402

And now, look. Look around us.

510

00:
55:22,486 -- 00:55:26,322

We are stuck in the middle of the ocean

with nobody.

511

00:
55:26,824 -- 00:55:29,993

Even if we had been swimming

for the last five hours,

512

00:
55:30,077 -- 00:55:33,454

we would not be any closer to a boat

than we are now.

513

00:
55:34,873 -- 00:55:37,500

The only reason we are even out here

in the first place

514

00:
55:37,584 -- 00:55:39,752

is because of your f***ing job!

515

00:
55:39,837 -- 00:55:42,088

-What?

-lf it were not for your job,

516

00:
55:42,172 -- 00:55:44,549

we would not have thrown our plans

out of the window,

517

00:
55:44,633 -- 00:55:48,469

rushed around at the last minute

and settled on this f***ing trip!

518

00:
55:48,554 -- 00:55:52,181

We would be at home

in the middle of our hectic lives,

519

00:
55:52,266 -- 00:55:55,059

which right now sounds like heaven to me.

520

00:
55:56,228 -- 00:55:58,062

And in a month's time,

521

00:
55:58,147 -- 00:56:02,316

as we planned seven months ago,

522

00:
56:02,401 -- 00:56:05,319

we would be where we were supposed

to be in the first place,

523

00:
56:05,404 -- 00:56:08,573

and paying less than we are now

to be shark bait!

524

00:
56:11,493 -- 00:56:12,869

God damn it.

525

00:
56:16,248 -- 00:56:19,751

l can't even believe

you'd bring all that up right now.

526

00:
56:20,419 -- 00:56:22,462

You were the one that picked the dates.

527

00:
56:22,546 -- 00:56:26,257

Yeah, of my whopping two choices,

this was the better date.

528

00:
56:29,720 -- 00:56:32,764

-l wanted to go skiing.

-Oh, God.

529

00:
59:07,878 -- 00:59:10,504

l can't believe how far we've drifted.

530

00:
59:10,714 -- 00:59:12,924

You think the current

will take us over there?

531

00:
59:13,008 -- 00:59:14,342

Hopefully.

532

00:
59:16,595 -- 00:59:18,137

How's your leg?

533

00:
59:18,597 -- 00:59:19,931

lt's okay.

534

00:
59:20,265 -- 00:59:23,434

You know, relatively, but it's okay.

535

00:
59:24,436 -- 00:59:26,520

All right, let's go for it.

536

01:
00:28,250 -- 01:00:31,794

l love you.

537

01:
00:34,673 -- 01:00:36,465

We're gonna be fine.

538

01:
00:38,635 -- 01:00:41,804

Other people go on vacations

and spend their days

539

01:
00:42,764 -- 01:00:46,350

just laying around, eating and drinking.

540

01:
00:47,352 -- 01:00:49,353

That sounds pretty great right now.

541

01:
00:49,438 -- 01:00:51,397

Actually, yeah, it does.

542

01:
00:53,400 -- 01:00:57,570

But we have a story we're gonna be telling

for the rest of our lives.

543

01:
01:03,535 -- 01:01:05,161

-Daniel.

-What?

544

01:
01:09,416 -- 01:01:11,000

Look. Wait.

545

01:
01:14,046 -- 01:01:15,504

Oh, my God.

546

01:
01:18,550 -- 01:01:21,302

Wait. There are five of them.

547

01:
01:21,386 -- 01:01:25,222

-Look. Oh, God. Oh, God.

-Where did those come from?

548

01:
01:25,599 -- 01:01:28,142

You know how dry my mouth gets

when l'm diving,

549

01:
01:28,226 -- 01:01:29,977

l wanted to put them in the dive bag,

but you had them,

550

01:
01:30,062 -- 01:01:33,064

so l stuffed them in here at the last minute.

551

01:
01:35,233 -- 01:01:38,194

l never thought

anything could taste so good.

552

01:
01:42,032 -- 01:01:44,784

Just hold me for a second, okay?

l gotta make sure we don't lose these ones.

553

01:
01:44,868 -- 01:01:46,494

-l got you.

-Okay.

554

01:
01:48,705 -- 01:01:50,414

-You're done?

-Yeah.

555

01:
01:54,378 -- 01:01:57,463

-Oh, my God!

-What is it? Are you all right?

556

01:
02:04,805 -- 01:02:06,180

Oh, my God.

557

01:
02:16,441 -- 01:02:18,192

-l don't see it.

-Are you okay?

558

01:
02:18,276 -- 01:02:20,444

-Are you okay?

-l don't know.

559

01:
02:22,531 -- 01:02:25,074

-My God. Daniel. Oh, my God.

-Oh, my God.

560

01:
02:25,158 -- 01:02:26,409

-l'm bit.

-Honey.

561

01:
02:26,493 -- 01:02:28,369

-l'm bit. The f***er bit me.

-My God. Are you all right?

562

01:
02:28,453 -- 01:02:30,579

Okay, okay, hold on, hold on.

565

01:
02:33,125 -- 01:02:34,875

-Let's see if l can...

-No, no, no.

566

01:
02:34,960 -- 01:02:37,044

-My God!

-Stay where you are.

567

01:
02:37,129 -- 01:02:38,629

God, it f***ing hurts.

568

01:
02:38,713 -- 01:02:41,090

Just breathe, okay? Stay right there.

569

-Okay. Just stay where you are.

01:
02:55,814 -- 01:02:57,189

575

01:
03:11,204 -- 01:03:13,247

-My leg is still there, right? l can feel it.

-Okay... Yes.

576

Okay. Okay. lt's all right, honey. lt's okay.
