The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

The Obeamyway peninsula a

remote and fascinating region

teaming with

extraordinary marine life.

we choose this mysterious water as

Bellefontaine's next destination.

In preparation for our voyage

The members of team Zissou's gathered

at my Oceanographic observatory

here on Precious Spot Island.

This was to be our most ambitious adventure

to date and ultimately a tragic one.

Our team included Esteban du Plantier, chief diver,

our senior statesmen, my closest colleague for 27 years.

Klaus Daimler, 40, engineer,

calm, collected, German.

Vikram Ray, 28, cameraman

Bobby Ogata, 22, frogman.

Renzo Pietro, 45,

editor, sound man.

Vladimir Wolodarsky, 33, physicist,

our original score composer.

Anne-Marie Sakowitz,

25, script girl.

Pele dos Santos, 30, safety expert.

Eleanor Zissou, my wife, vice

president of the Zissou Society.

We also invited 7 marine science

students from the University North Alaska

to accompany us as unpaid interns

in exchange for school credit.

October 12th, Esteban and I explore

the blue reefs beyond the peninsula.

Florescence Snapper unexpectedly appeared

in shallows extremely rare in this depth.

Where is your gun?

Steve Steve, where is Esteban?

Check the scanning monitor, start

tracking before it goes too deep.

-Esteban was bitten?

-Eaten!

-Is he dead?

-Esteban was eaten!

-He was swallowed whole?

-No! killed!

Check the scanning monitor!

Steve, we think you got crazy eye.

Get him out of the f***ing water.

Esteban! Esteban! Esteban...!

-what?

-Esteban! Esteban...!

-Steve

-Esteban! Esteban! Esteban! Esteban...!

(Italian question)

Was it a deliberate choice

never to show the Jaguar Shark?

No, I dropped the camera.

(Answer in Italian )

Why are they laughing?

(Italian:
up there, the young man)

yes, what is next for team Zissou?

Well, that was only part

one. It's a cliff hanger.

Now, I am going to hunt down that shark

or whatever it is and hopefully kill it.

I don't know how

yet, maybe Dynamite.

-You don't what it is?

-No, I never seen anything like it before in my life.

You said it was a Jaguar Shark,

that was the title of your film.

It was coming right at us I just said

the 1st 2 words that came into my head.

(French question)

Revenge.

Bravo!

What fun!

Steve, I would like to introduce you to

Tonie Coach the new head of the film society.

You must be so excited.

I hope so, Do you it went ok?

No, congratulations, seriously.

Thanks, I wish it didn't require

the "seriously" but thank you.

Well, I just don't

think they got it.

(Singing in French)

Larry Arman is flying to Mecca tonight.

See you can make the numbers work.

You should have an

answer from us in 10 days

Tell him I need to know by Sunday.

Why would I do that, my darling?

Call his bluff, damn it! and

light a fire under his ass.

My darling, we haven't made

a hit documentary in 9 years.

Lets not f*** with Larry Arman.

-Explain to him, would you Eleanor?

-screwdriver

He understands, Arman need to make

projection of the world grosses

to see if he can run a tax break,

run it through his output deal.

I don't understand but I

can tell it is bullshit.

-Oh, what the hell is going on?

-You need a blackjack and reel cleaner.

Well, if you excuse me, I am

gonna go an overnight drunk

and in 10 days I am going set out to find

the shark that eat my friend and destroy it.

Anyone who is care to join

me is more than welcome.

Captain Zissou, I am sorry to

bother you. I am Ned Plimpton.

My mother's Catherine Plimpton.

You kidding?

No.

How is she?

I am sorry. Sh*t!

She was...

I don't know if it is true

or not by the way, do you?

No, I don't.

I haven't heard

from her in 30 years.

I guess its too late now.

She never contacted me, you know.

Yes, I see.

You are suppose to

be my son, right?

I don't know...

but I did want to meet

you... just in case

I appreciate that.

I'll be right back. Don't go away.
