and you're movin' around

all the time

Try sittin' still

Eyeball?

I wish I had feet like his

Then maybe I could swim

Enola

[ Burps ] Sorry

Never met a person

couldn't swim before

I can't

People say I was weird

Maybe they were right

Maybe they were right

about you too

Enola wanted to give you this

And this

She won't take it again

You don't look much like her

- Well, I'm not her mother,

if that's what you're asking

- You act like it

What are those marks

on her back?

Nothing

They're just fanciful things

- Like what she draws?

- She draws what she sees

She's like a mirror

People on the atoll

thought she was a--

Freak?

Uh-huh Yeah

I just thought

she was special

I'm not givin' it

to her It's just--

A loan

Yeah I'm not

givin' it to her

Is Dryland beautiful?

You'll see

[ Enola Laughing, Giggling ]

- Enola?

- [ Laughing ]

Enola, what are you doing?

- Those monsters'll kill her!

- No, they're asleep now

Hands around my neck

Let the water tell your arms

and legs how to move

We're goin' down

Hold your breath

- What is it?

- What is it?

Barter outpost

You said we'd get

to Dryland today

Today Tomorrow

What's it matter?

I need resin

- What is that?

- It's PortuGreek Their own language

Or so I thought

Ah

There's my girl Yeah

Howdy, darlin'

Come on in here now

- What's going on?

- Smokers

What the hell?

He's spotted us

Sound it!

Sound it! Sound it!

Sound it! Sound it!

Yahoo!

[ Helen ] Enola!

- [ Bullets Whizzing By ]

- [ Grunting ]

Starboard side! Now!

Get in the chair!

Watch it

He's clearin' the net

Go to the helm

- Get the centerboard!

- Centerboard?

What centerboard?

I don't know what to do!

It's too late

Over here!

[ Screaming, Y elling ]

No!

Gimme that rifle

Boy, if you wanna do somethin' right,

you've got to do it yourself

[ Whispers ]

All right

- I winged him

- I say we load

all the go-juice onto one boat

and run the freak down

You can't catch him in ten boats,

and you wanna send just one?

Well, I pray that you're jokin'

Bring me the trackers

He's hurt

It's not what you think

They weren't after her

- I saw what I saw

- What?

No more lies

- [ Shrieks ]

- What are the marks on her back?

People say it's the way to Dryland

Dryland's a myth!

No! You said so yourself

that you know where it is

You did

You're a fool to believe in something

you've never seen before

I've seen it I've touched it!

Dirt that was richer

and darker than yours

It was in the basket

we found Enola in!

- It doesn't exist!

- Well, how can you be so sure?

Because I've sailed farther than most

have dreamed, and I've never seen it

But the things on your boat!

"Things on my boat" what?

There are things on your boat

that nobody has ever seen!

What are these shells?

And that reflecting glass?

And th-the music box?

That--

Well, if not from Dryland,

then where? Wh-Where?

You wanna see Dryland?

You really wanna see it?

I'll take you to Dryland

Get in

- Well, what about Enola?

- There's only air for one

- Get in the water

- lt'll be all right

Don't touch anything

Okay?

I didn't know

All this time

I didn't know

Nobody does

Can you get us outta here?

I'd say there're

two chances o' that

- Hey!

- No way and no how

Shoulda bought me

that drink Come on!

This way Come on!

[ Men Yelling, Cheering ]

Proper introductions first

I'm the Deacon

[ Men Laughing ]

If you don't recall the face,

perhaps it's 'cause I didn't

always look like this

Now, ahem, I suspect

she's somewhere real close

So we can tear this boat apart

lookin' for her, but I'd rather

somebody tell me where she is

And the first one

that does that, lives

And the runner-up--

Well, actually, there are no runners-up

Oh, sweet Joe,

I love this part

Choose 'em One, two

Live or die

You know, personally,

I'd rather shoot

the sperm-of-the-devil here

Huh? But you know somethin'?

I don't think you're gonna

tell me, are ya?

Huh? Too bad

Come on, eh?

What do you say?

She's not your kind

You don't even have a kind

If you say it,

he'll still kill us both

[ Deacon Grunts ]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves

If you don't tell me,

I swear to Poseidon

I will torch your boat

Refresh my memory

What happens when neither of 'em talks?

- Never happened before

- Never happened before

[ Sighs ]

All right!

If they won't tell us where

she is, do 'em! Both of 'em!

Kill 'em now! [ Fires Gun ]

- No!

- [ Helen ] No!

So gullible!

Bring her here

[ Men Cheering, Shouting ]

- Take and ye shall receive!

- [ Helen ] No! Leave her!

So ends your daily sermonette!

[ Laughing ]

All we gotta do is figure out this map

Turn her upside down

-Does that mean anything to you?

-No

[ Deacon ] We'll figure it out back

at the 'Deez Back at the 'Deez, boys

Careful with her

Careful with her!

- What about them?

- Do 'em both

Torch the boat

We have to go under!

No, I can't breath like you!

I'll breathe for both of us

[ Man ] Whoo!

[ Enola ] Helen!

Helen, help!

Helen! Helen!

My boat

Enola

[ Door Opens ]

What is this?

Get those chains off her

What are we, barbarians here?

Goodness gracious

Sakes alive

Come on Outta here,

you big, nasty animal, you!

Well, rub-a-dub-dub

[ Chuckles ]

You wanna come over here

and sit on my lap?

No? Ahem

How 'bout a cigarette?

Nothin' like a good smoke

if you miss your mom

Never too young to start

No Well, I got somethin'

right here I know you'd like

Like to draw, don't you? Huh?

Huh?

Now they're yours

if you help me with just

one problem, all right?

Now, ahem-- Now that tattoo

on your back-- Ahem

I've been told that, uh--

that's actually a map?

It's the way to Dryland

Now we're gettin' someplace

Could you teach me

how to read that?

Setback

Well, have you ever heard

any of your friends talk about it?

You know, like your mommy or

your pet fish? Did he say anything?

You shouldn't make fun of him

He wouldn't like it

Girl, I don't give a sh*t

what he'd like He took out my eye

And if I ever see him again, I'm gonna

cut open his head and eat his brains!

You think he'd like that?

Can't kill him

He's even meaner than you are

But he's not here

And he ain't comin'

And no one's gonna save you

He'll come for me He will

Then you better tell me what I wanna

know or he can see what's left of you

in a goddamn jar

We're going to die here,

aren't we?

Aren't we?

After the atoll,

when I offered myself to you,

why didn't you take me?

'Cause you didn't really want me

Not really

Have I been asleep long?

I was dreaming

It's funny

I always thought Dryland floated

That it drifted with the wind

That's why it was so hard to find

Why did you believe in it so much?

Because we weren't made for the sea

Got hands and feet

We're supposed to walk

I miss her sound

Don't you?

[ Gregor ] Helen!

He-- No, no, no

Helen, up here Above you!

- [ Chuckling ]

- [ Helen ] Gregor!

[ Chuckling Continues ]
