The Ferryman Page #2

What's in there?

- I don't know. Have a look.

God. damn it!

You got yours coming!

- Yeah, right.

A dead bird.

What does that mean?

It's a bad omen.

F***...

Is that still a bad omen?

I don't know.

Let's check the rest of the boat

and get out of here. - I hear you.

I don't like this boat.

Me neither.

- I smell like bird.

There's nothing here.

So where'd the Morse code come from?

God damn!

Help me.

Help me!

It's okay, mister. It's okay.

- Help me.

Please...

- You're gonna be alright.

We'll get you some water.

- Yes...

It's okay.

-Yes. - It's gonna be okay.

Come here, old man.

Give us that blanket. Take this coat.

You're a good man.

- There you go.

Take that, babe.

- Thank you.

There you go. You in?

- Ah, yes.

Thank you, yes. - You're welcome.

- Yes, yes...

That's better.

How many are you?

- Six.

Six.

- We're seven now.

Yes... six of us...

and then the storm came up

out of nowhere.

Down below is water everywhere.

We go up on the deck...

The waves beating and bashing,

and smashing us into things.

And one by one...

One by one they go.

Everyone?

- All except me.

I thank you all.

You saved my life.

- You're welcome.

I thank you.

So, it's up to you and me.

Alright...

I think I win.

- You think?

You certainly have...

I win again.

You win again. My deal.

You and Zane are together?

You should marry her. Never let

a good thing run away from you.

That's the smartest thing

that's been said this whole trip.

Once they're gone, they're gone.

Sometimes when a woman leaves,

she takes happiness with her.

Sometimes when she leaves

she leaves happiness behind.

It's nice to see you smiling.

You are a terrible bluffer.

- Maybe I want you to think that.

Okay, I'm going to bed. Honey?

Sure, honey.

Okay, maybe we should

make this a little more interesting?

You alright?

Dave!

How long have you had this lump?

I don't know.

Is it bad?

Not good, then?

I'm not a doctor. You'd need a biopsy.

- A cancer!

My Adena,

she used to look at me like that.

You remind me of her.

So...

I must die.

I chose the wrong body.

I want a drink.

I'll get you one.

Yes!

I want to be alone.

This is mighty comfortable.

I've got to wait for these to dry.

I'm not in the mood.

You wanted to last night.

- Well, a lot's happened since then.

Fish guts, severed fingers,

all fog, no sunshine,

no privacy, and a dirty, smelly sailor

who's a complete sexist.

Hello?

- He's funny. He's a real character.

When you said we'd go on a romantic

cruise, this isn't what I had in mind.

It's an adventure,

it's something different for us.

It was supposed to be romantic!

Something special.

It has been special.

Well it's not special enough.

Not yet, you malaka!

Did you say something?

Not yet.

Do you want a smoke?

Sure.

You okay?

Yeah... it's strong stuff.

Coromandel skunk.

- l...

I got it all wrong with your scar.

It isn't horrible at all.

In fact I find it kinda sexy.

That's the way I saw you looking at me

on the pier.

What?

Lots of men look at me like that.

Chris used to look at me like that.

Like what?

Like they want to kiss me.

I don't want to kiss you.

Are you sure?

Really?

I said no.

You okay?

What have you done, you bastard!

Chris! Chris!

What's going on?

What've you done, you mad bastard?

He stabbed him!

Chris, get me towels and blankets.

I need plastic, a plastic bag.

- Screw you! - Screw you!

Breathe, Zane.

- What are you doing?

Oh God!

Dave... - Don't f***ing "Dave" me!

You don't know me! - What you doing?

Get off my f***ing boat!

- What're you doing?

What's he done to you?

- Nothing. It's Zane. He's done

something to Zane.

Get the first aid box!

First aid box!

Is he gonna be alright?

What do you need?

- Don't worry about it.

Sort the boat out,

we're f***ing out of here.

But the fog...

- F*** the fog, we're out of here!

Don't leave me alone.

I love you so much. - Chris!

Sort this out. - Yeah.

- Then we're f***ing out of here.

Leave the knife, it's gotta stay in!

Here.

Keep pressure on the wound,

or he'll bleed to death. - Where?

Where?

You saw it, right?

He had a f***ing knife in his chest.

- I don't know. Honey?

I don't know.

I didn't... I don't know!

He had a knife in his chest!

I'm okay.

Help me up. I'm okay.

I love you so much.

I love you so much...

Hey, hey, hey...

- I love you so much...

It's okay.

Everything's gonna be okay.

You went too far.

There were three blokes on board.

He stabbed Zane!

- He didn't!

Three of you could've taken him out.

- He f***ing stabbed him!

I don't understand how you could

have that hole and there's no blood.

It just catched on my clothes.

I'm alright.

Dave's going to head

to the nearest island.

There's no point carrying on now.

I was worried about you.

I heard you scream.

Think we'll be alright

without the equipment?

It's a full moon. Once that fog lifts

it'll be as clear as day.

Adventure tourism, I suppose.

Well it ain't the Love Boat,

that's for sure.

After all that's happened?

That's not me.

That's not me.

That's not me!

You're not me!

Zane?

Gentle, Zane!

Kathy!

Zane!

Stop it!

Stop it!

- Shut up!

Get off me!

What is wrong with you?

Shut up!

- What's wrong with you?

F***ing piece of meat!

Chris, help!

- Get out! - What's going on?

What is going on?

I don't... - Get out!

- Turn it in, the pair of you!

There's something wrong with him.

- What?

It's none of your business.

Look at his scar!

It's the stress.

His scar has gone!

I've had enough of this.

You make it hard to love you.

Too hard, I think.

The scar...

- I know, I know.

I think I'm losing my mind.

She's not well.

I'll tell you what we're gonna do:.

She can stay in our cabin tonight.

We'll see how she is in the morning.

Go on, girl.

- Come on.

Come with me. You're alright.

- Go on.

Don't worry about anything.

We'll look after you. - I'll be in

in a minute. Don't leave her.

Hey, f***ing calm down!

Remember, you're on holiday.

Look at me. Are you alright?

I'm alright.

- You sure?

I'm sure.

Are we sweet?

- Yeah.

We sweet?

- Yeah.

Sweet.

- Alright.

What? What?

Just f*** off, Yankee Boy!

You just watch yourself!

Just watch yourself!

Bye-bye.

- Yeah, whatever.

F***!

F***er!

I like to think of them

as him and me. The cockatoo

and the lion.

He likes to look at them

while we're in bed.

Sometimes he makes me

wear their away strip.

There really is something wrong

with Zane.

What makes you think...

that you're not a nurse anymore?

I mean...

it's not like you can suddenly

stop being a nurse, is it?

As far as I can understand it,

it must be like...

a sort of calling.

Kathy, what's wrong, love?

There was this little girl who died.

It was my fault.

I made a decision,

and I made it for the wrong reasons.

Zane thought if we went on holiday

I'd get over it. - And will you?

You want my professional opinion?

No.

I'll never be over it.

I'll get you a cuppa.
