• Etienne : One kilometer.

  Françoise : Two.

  Etienne : Richard?

  Richard : I dunno; I'm American.

  Richard : I dunno, but it looks like a long way away.

• Etienne : Oh fuck! Richard! Fuck!

  Richard : What?

  Etienne : I saw a fin!

  Richard : What? Are you joking?

  Etienne : No, no. A fin!

  Richard : OK, a shark fin?

  Etienne : I don't know! Just a fin! Over there, about a hundred meters.

  Richard : Well, was it big?

  Etienne : Yes.

  Richard : Well, what the fuck do you expect me to do about it?

  Etienne : Nothing! I just thought you should know!

  Richard : Well, to be honest, Etienne, I'd rather you hadn't told me!

  Etienne : I'm sorry!

  Richard : Well, it's a bit fuckin' late now, isn't it?

• Richard : Oh, God!

  Etienne : Putain de merde!

  Etienne : Well?

  Richard : Well, what?

  Etienne : How do we get down?

  Richard : How do we get down? How am I supposed to know? Do I have to decide everything now?

  Françoise : We'll jump.

  Etienne : Fuck! You wanted to be in command, Richard.

  Richard : I only took command, because you lost your nerve, French boy!

  Etienne : Yeah, and look where you've taken us !
