[Groans]

Better not

catch you smiling.

Ooo-ooo.

[Screaming]

[Sighs]

Thanks.

Well, I'm not

without skills.

[Whistling]

Whoa. You goin'

on a date?

- Do you like it?

- Why the fashion statement?

- Goin' huntin'.

- Ooh, for what?

No.

You wouldn't.

They are

magnificent creatures.

And I hear they taste

just like chicken.

Chicken?

Dd [Humming]

D Paradise d

dd [Humming Continues]

Hey.

[Smacking Lips]

Maybe I should

have a taste.

You know, just in case somebody asks me

someday, "Have you ever had peacock?"

- I can say, "Yes, I have."

- You won't regret it.

Okay, perfect.

Whoo! Ah.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

Mmm.

Mmm. Wow.

Chicken. Okay, chicken.

[Chuckles]

Have you always been

a pilot?

All my grownup life.

- Like doing what?

- All kinds of flying.

- Mm-hmm.

- I had my own very successful business.

What happened?

Well,

I found a better way

of life, that's all.

Like what?

Came out here, got a nice

little house on a beautiful beach.

- Mm-hmm.

- Got my plane.

Uh-uh.

Doing what I want to do.

Got peace and quiet.

Livin' the life

every man dreams of.

Well, yeah,

until they're 12.

[Chuckles]

I'm sorry.

That was out of line.

- No.

- I'm just...

I'm just cranky, you know,

from being shipwrecked.

[Chuckles]

[Humming]

Look at that sky. You don't see

a sky like that in New York City.

No, that's a good sky.

- Whoa.

- All right. Sorry.

[Chuckling]

I'm just a little tipsy.

Good night.

Good night.

Suave.

Really suave.

[Plane Engine Droning

Overhead]

Oh, my God.

It's a plane. Oh.

A plane. What do...

Uh, a flare. We need the flare.

Uh, Quinn?

Quinn?

Uh, get up!

There's a plane!

Okay.

[Grunts]

Flare! Jesus.

Okay.

- [Groans]

- [Screams]

- Hey, baby.

- Oh, no.

Oh, boy. Oh.

- [Groans]

- Oh, no.

- Oh. Uh-oh. Oh, no.

- [Fire Crackling]

Oh, nuts.

[Gasps, Stammers]

What's...

[Moans]

What the hell did you do?

What the...

You... You wasted our only goddam

flare... to shoot a goddam palm tree?

I wouldn't have shot the goddam tree

if you hadn't rolled into me.

I was trying to signal

the goddam plane.

What... What goddam plane?

That goddam plane.

- That goddam plane?

- Yeah.

That's a commercial airliner. It's

five miles high goin' 600 miles an hour.

They wouldn't see a nuclear

explosion if they were lookin'

for it, much less a flare!

How was I supposed

to know that?

If you hadn't drunken yourself into a

coma, maybe you could have told me that.

- You know what you've done?

You know what you've done?

- What?

You've taken our one good chance

of being found and pissed it away!

Don't you dare blame this on me.

If you were half a pilot,

we wouldn't be on this island!

I am the best goddam pilot

you're ever gonna meet!

Ha! I've flown with you twice.

You've crashed half the time!

And there is nothing wrong

with my tits!

There's so much water.

Don't worry.

Wherever they are, Quinny is going to

take good care of your girlfriend.

What do you mean by that?

- [Panting]

- Come on. Let's pick up

the pace a little.

- I wanna get to the top before dark.

- [Gasps]

[Loud Rumbling]

[Gasps]

[Screaming]

Goddam!

I've had just about

as much vacation as I can stand.

[Grunting]

[Groaning]

- Stop. Stop.

- Stop?

- Stop! Stop.

- What?

What?

[Yelps]

We better find

the beacon.

This way.

[Grunts]

[Robin]

That beacon better be up there.

Look. The storm blew us

southwest 40 minutes.

A good chance this is

Tamitange.

Ah, Tamitange. Well,

that explains everything.

There's a radio navigation

beacon on top of Tamitange.

We find it. We shut it down. They come

out and fix it. We're rescued.

It took them two years to fix

the streetlight outside my apartment.

Wow, this is

beautiful, huh?

[Sighs]

So where's the beacon?

- Huh?

- Uh...

Oh, let me see.

It's this one? Tamitange, the one with

the funny-shaped peninsula to the north.

Yeah.

Well, that...

that's north, right?

- Right?

- Yeah.

There's no peninsula.

Who stole the peninsula?

[Chuckles]

No.

This isn't Tamitange?

Um...

- Uh...

- So there is no beacon...

that we're gonna turn off and

they're gonna come fix it and find us?

Um, well,

we could be, um...

[Sighs]

We could be further to the south.

[Sighs]

This could be Mata Nui.

Mata Nui?

And what's on Mata Nui?

Us.

What? Wait, wait.

What are you doin'?

Son of a b*tch!

Goddam it!

[Angry Muttering]

[Muttering Stops]

Uh, please don't

do that again.

- I just want one

goddam thing to go right.

- Oh, God.

I know. Come on.

Ever since we've been here,

you've been so confident.

You have all the answers.

Well, I'm the captain.

That's my job.

It's no good for me to go

waving my arms in the air and screaming,

"Oh, sh*t!

We're gonna die!"

[Sighs] Doesn't evoke

much confidence, does it?

No, no, that does not.

I need you to be

my confident captain.

I can't tell you how difficult

this is gonna be for me...

if you lose it.

Okay.

Okay.

- I'm all right now.

- Good, good. Good.

[Exhales]

Qui-Quinn. Quinn.

What? What?

What do you need? Hey. Come on.

Get out of that. What do you want?

[Whispering] L... Look, look, look!

Come here. Oh, yes.

It's a boat.

Looks like they're puttin'

into that cove.

Yeah, well,

how do we signal 'em?

- A flare'd be nice.

- Don't start. Come on. What do we do?

How do we get

down there?

- We go, uh, down the mountain...

- Yeah.

Up the mountain,

down the mountain.

- We get to our life raft and... hope

they'll still be there in the morning.

- Uh-huh.

Come on.

[Grunting, Groaning]

Oh, God.

[Grunting, Breathing Heavily]

- Come on. I'll take over.

- Oh, God. Thanks.

So what's the deal

with you and, um...

Mm.

- Angelica.

- Yeah.

There's no deal.

We're friends.

She works at the hotel

a couple of months a year.

We have some laughs,

keep it simple.

Well, has it always been simple, or has

there ever been anyone complicated?

That's a yes. Yes?

How complicated?

Scale from one to ten.

- Twelve.

- Twelve? God, what happened?

Well, tragically,

she, uh... she...

Died?

Oh, my God, I'm so...

- No, she didn't die.

- I'm so... Oh.

- Why... You gonna let me

tell the story or what?

- Oh, I'm sorry.

Sure. Tell it.

She, uh...

fell in love

with somebody else.

Not just somebody else.

My best friend.

My partner. The guy

I was in business with.

God. What did you do?

Well, I, uh, bowed out,

gave 'em my blessing.

Are they still

together?

No. [Laughs]

They broke up.

- Uh.

- Not before I sold 'em

my half of the business.

I came out here, got my plane,

never looked back.

Best thing

that ever happened to me.

- There are two boats.

- What? Two boats?

Two boats. Ah!

[Chuckles] Look.

God, this is great, huh?

Hello!

[Robin]

Hello!

- Whoo!

- Sit down! We gotta get outta here!

- Why? Why?

- We gotta get outta here.

- What? "Get out of here"?

What are you talking about?

- Sh*t. Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Oh, my God.

- Uh, who-who are they?

- Pirates.

Pi... Pirates,
