Poseidon

When?

Today.

Yeah, when today?

Please. I'll tell him.

Hey, kids, how we doing?

We're good. Good.

And I wasn't trying to surprise you.

We weren't really surprised, sir.

Christian, do you think it's possible

for you to stop calling me "sir"?

I really feel old when you do that.

You know, I thought we had

an agreement here.

Dad, we're just sitting. People sit.

Look, honey, I'm not trying

to give you guys a hard time...

...but we have discussed this,

you know?

Technically, you're under my roof still...

...and I don't feel comfortable

with the two of you in here...

Stop. Have you seen

the size of this boat?

Don't you think we could find

a zillion places...

...to do that thing you think we wanna do

if we wanted?

Jennifer, I'm simply saying...

No. I'm over your patronizing tone,

okay? I'm really over it.

Hey, is she like this with you?

- I'm sorry.

- No, excuse me.

I'm trying to find the galley.

I think it's off-limits to guests.

Not so much of a rules person.

- It's quite a lobby, isn't it?

- Yeah.

This the first time

you've been through here?

So I guess you missed the tour,

then, huh?

But you had to come through here

when we boarded. Didn't you?

Through that door is a service corridor.

Take a left, all the way to the end.

Hi, it's me.

Could you call me? Please?

I'm actually begging, aren't I?

I'd like you to call me at midnight.

You know, for old times' sake.

Bye.

Baby, baby, baby...

hey. You were supposed to

stay inside. That was the deal.

The TV isn't working. I'm cramped.

I'm going crazy in there.

Come here, come here, come here.

Coming through.

It's just, Elena...

...I could lose my job for this, you know?

- It's not that I'm not grateful, Valentin.

I'm just... I'm so bored.

- You hungry? You must be hungry.

- I'm starving.

Now, Elena, listen.

Look at me. Promise me

you will not come out again.

(CAPTAIN BRADFORD) The ocean has always been

the cradle of rebirth.

Since man first emerged

from these salty depths...

...we have looked to water as a chance

to begin anew.

Poseidon was the god of the sea.

He made his home on the ocean floor

in a palace of coral and gems.

And so, what better way to celebrate

the birth of a new year...

...than borne on the back

of the old fellow himself?

May you all have clear sailing

in the new year...

...and all the years to come.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the incomparable Gloria!

- Five thousand.

- Five thousand to call.

Goddamn, boy.

You got some mighty big ones on you.

- Hey, honey.

- Yes, sir.

Get Lucky Larry another drink,

would you? Martini. Okay, babe?

- There's blood in the water tonight.

- Five thousand to call, sir.

You know, I think there's more money in

that pot than my old man made in a year.

Five, and 10.

Fifteen to call.

Happiest time of my life

is when I was broke.

Make it 20.

Let's make it 20, and let's make it 40.

You miss being mayor?

Do you ever win?

Forty more to you, sir.

Goddamn, this is getting good.

- Dad. We're going downstairs.

- Hello, sweetie. Have fun.

- Hey, Jen.

- What?

Come on.

I can see, you know.

The twins? Dad.

Can you just?

One more button, please?

Pair of fives, huh, Dad?

Oh, God.

All in.

I'll fold.

- Oh, hey, kid, you all right?

- Yeah, I'm sorry.

- How much for the game?

- I don't know, what's it worth to you?

You were minding your own business

and those chips...

...jumped out in front of you.

- I wasn't watching where I was going.

Come on, sweetheart, let's go.

- Sorry about that.

- Not a problem.

Guess what. Your friend the captain

wants you to blow the New Year's horn.

No way! Mom?

Go. Conor?

Thanks, sorry, bye!

- Great kid.

- Yeah, he is. Still amazes me, actually.

So the captain's table? That's a nice place

to spend New Year's Eve.

Does your husband...?

- That work much?

- What?

The tentative mention of a husband

I'm supposed to correct...

...even though you clocked

my wedding finger twice already?

It usually works better than that, yeah.

Normally what you get

on these cruise ships...

...is your desperate single woman hoping to

meet a guy, and you sure don't fit the bill.

That's not actually supposed to generate

a thank-you, was it?

Maggie James.

Dylan.

- What do you do, Mr. Dylan?

- First name.

Well, somebody's gonna

drink too much...

...and get into a fight

with their wife or husband...

...and come up here and start buying

chips in a frenzy.

Any night, but particularly tonight.

And I take their money.

That's what I do.

Professionally.

That supposed to be sexy?

Depends. Was it?

Nice to meet you, first name Dylan.

Come on. That's right.

Decided, sir?

We will have the Romane-Conti,

Very well, sir.

- Nelson...

- My treat.

That's a five-thousand-dollar

bottle of wine.

Carpe diem, my friend.

Carpe diem.

There was no work crisis.

What do you mean?

I'm sorry, I lied.

Apparently...

...the one who really missed

the boat in London was me.

He's met someone.

He didn't mean to hurt me.

He never thought that this

would happen to him.

I'm sure that you know this whole song,

so I don't have to sing it for you.

I think I'll get some air.

And then we'll have some wine.

Lots and lots of wine.

Quiet. Quiet.

Gentlemen, keep it down.

Do you feel that?

Something's off.

Here we go!

Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven!

Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year!

You have no messages.

No.

No.

Hard to starboard!

Starboard engines, full astern!

- Starboard engines, full astern!

- I got it, I got it! Come on.

Turn. Turn!

(CHIEF OFFICER REYNOLDS) Turn!

Come on. Come on, come on!

Bow thrusters, full to starboard!

(FIRST OFFICER CHAPMAN) Sounding general alarm.

- (GLORIA) Oh, auld lang syde...

- [ Alarms Blaring ]

(MAN ON SPEAKERS) All crew, report immediately

to your emergency stations.

This is not a drill. All passengers,

brace for immediate and heavy rolls.

[ Passengers Start Screaming ]

Stay there. I'm coming, baby!

Just stay there! Wait for me!

(MAN) Fire, life and safety crews, proceed to

your muster stations immediately.

This is not a drill.

- [ Clamoring ]

- (MAGGIE) Hang on, Conor!

[ Conor Shrieks ] Mom!

Help me!

Stay calm!

Conor?

Oh, my God.

Conor!

Chris.

Christian.

Christian!

Are you okay?

Hey.

My leg's pinned.

Come on.

Help. Somebody. Please, please.

Please, help me.

I can't lift this by myself.

- Please help me. Please.

- Okay.

On three.

One, two, three.

Again. One, two, three.

Conor!

Everyone, remain calm. Remain calm.

Hey, lady. Up there.

Hey! We need some help over here.

Scootch back from the edge! Be careful!
