BOY: Daddy, I can't.
Don't have much time, son.

You can do it.

Kick your legs

You didn't try
No one will make easy for you It's up to you!
QUOYLE: I used to imagine
that I have been given for the wrong family at birth
and somewhere In the world
My real people miss me.
From where my father stood
My failure to pedal a dog
only the first of many failures
Failed to speak clearly.
Failure to sit upright.
Failed to be friends every time we moved
to the bleak northern city.
Inside me, my father recognized life that failed -
own.
When I confess to junior college
my father thought was a clerical mistake.
When I came out a year later
he's not surprised Quoyle!
Quoyle!
Job does not stimulate enough for you?
No, I mean, yeah.
I mean...
This is the best job I once had
(clanking machine)
(bell rings)
QUOYLE: I stumbled to adulthood
learning to separate my feelings from my life...
doesn't count anything
(men and women argue)
I'm used to being invisible.
Until... someone saw me.
(muffled shouting)
(wipers sound like heartbeat)
I'm sick of this nonsense!
(hard argument continues unclear)
Where did you go, Petal?
Let's go.
Wake up! Go away!
(pounding)
(tire squealing)
What's your name?
Quoyle.
Are you okay?
I'm starving, Quoyle. No?
I sell burglar alarms.
Very?
That's-it must be interesting work
I am an ink setter.
I work for Poughkeepsie News
You haven't touched your food.
Oh.
(worried sigh)
So what are you thinking about?
You want to marry me, don't you?
Huh?
This is 8:05.
I think I'll make love to you at 10:00.
What do you think about that?
(breath breathing)
(slowing breathing and echo)
(echoes slowing down, like a dream)
(passion groaning)
(both panting)
God.
That is the biggest yet.
(sighs tired)
Yeah... I'm always hungry after I was laid down
I guess because of me... I'm burning up so many calories
You live in a dump, Quoyle
(weak): I love you.
(baby voice): Oh...
(weak): I love you.
(panting)
(baby's voice): Biting, biting
Little mouse.
What is that The doctor said?
If I end with stretch marks, sues his butt
Yes, but, Petal, Petal, Is everything okay?
QUOYLE: Leaves? Flower leaf?
(spark)
Petal, you are the only woman I have ever loved You are the only one.
Mm-hmm-- how are you? is an Alabama Slamma?
Where are you, my dear
Alabama, that's the point.
Look, look at the recipe.
It's in the fridge where I look after Mr. Boston
If you go home, I'll make one for you

Oh, God, it's okay.

What, are they sick? or something?
FLOWER LEAVES: Oh come on.

DANZIG: The convertible ends guardrail in Jersey
Fortunately, your daughter is no longer traveling
with Mrs. Quoyle and, uh, and his male friends.
I can promise it to you.
Listen, uh, there's something else Looks like he sold your daughter

RABBIT: Who is it?

He sleeps Yes. Peace

With angels.
(sighs)
If I fall asleep, I will wake up.
Why are you so scared, Daddy?
(Quoyle cries)
What did I do?
AGNIS: It takes a year, niece -
a full round of calendar, to overcome someone's loss
That's the right word.
That step will help. You will see.
What place on earth? is better than...
place your nation come from?
The smell of a clean North sea
I'm not a water person.
At least that girl.
QUOYLE: May we do it The right thing, Auntie.
AGNIS: I thought I would never be back here.
But the older you get
there is pain, pull...
something you have must find out
Like you piece in the puzzle
It takes some time to get used to your rock to neath.
This is a place like no other.
People who come here come accidentally
Those who keep learning Strange things can happen -

We are Quoyles, We left him 50 years ago.
Difficult times (sighs)
We're almost there.
Square point
Named in our opinion. You.
Well, I don't understand.
This is May, there's a lot of snow.
Until here, forget everything You think you know about the weather
I was born in that house.
(seagulls calling)
AGNIS: 44 years empty
Look at the roof line.
Straight as a ruler.
(door knob creaking)
(water dripping)
(seagulls calling)
Seeing.
QUOYLE: I wonder who it is
This is your grandfather, Sian Quoyle.
Died before I was born.
Died young - 12 years.
Twelve?
Then he can't do it my grandfather.
You don't know Newfoundlander.
Who is this?
This is my father and...
and you.
I never treated the hat.
(coughing)
Oh!
My God, table!
A blessed table!
(chuckles)
There's no way we can stay here.
Everything can be fixed
We will get a carpenter.
Oh, well, maybe it's cheaper if we only build
a new house on the Riviera.
It's just that I wasn't born on the Riviera.
(pouring rain)
(wind howling)
(crackling and creaking)

Daddy?
Why did you wake me up?
I want to see if you are already sleeping
(water bubbling and circling)

(door squeaks open and closed)
Is this cable a house won't explode?
So far so good.
They say it

Making women sick, so they gouged it out.
QUOYLE: They groan.
The house is sad.
What?
You have to let it go.
(laugh)
QUOYLE: I am here to apply for a job.

Himself, Jack Buggit was called sick, as usual.
That's why I occupied his office , Billy Pretty and no bones about that.
Please enter.
Name?
Uh, Quoyle.
I just came here yesterday from New York...
Ah, you're a Quoyle, right?
Well, I should have seen it straight off Sit down.
Previous experience as a journalist?

Okay, Jack.
Quoyle! Here.
Steps to life.
Uh... hello there, Mr. Buggit. Men in...

All Quoyles are water people.
The boat is in your blood.
That's why I hire you.
I need someone to cover the delivery news You will get a list of from harbormaster -
what ships are entering for Killick-Claw...
But, Buggit, - II am an ink setter.
Look, I'm an old kid.
I don't need ink setters, I need a reporter.
And you will do it Carcasses of local cars.
Take the picture, write the story
We run front page photos of car accidents every week
whether or not We really had a car accident.
Now, there is a talent for taking photos
it makes you feel something If there is darkness patch on the ground
it reads blood whether it's motor oil or Diet Coke.
And you want something human, eh
a child glove, a wallet
baseball cap lying on the road
Look, that's what makes it human.
That's what makes readers feel.
Jack, me, I'm not a reporter.
Sweet Jesus Christ.
You think one of them tomcods knows how to write
when I hired them?
I feel about people
that's all.
(urinating)
Welcome home, Guy.
QUOYLE: I can't do it.
I mean, even If I knew
the first thing about writing, which i don't, i...
Car accident-- I can't cover it.
Why not?
You know why not.
We face it we are afraid because we can't surround them.
Carcasses are
a fact of life here
Come winter, a trip to the city will become
almost impossible
We will buy our boat
Listen, I told you, I'm not a water person.
They dragged him here.
What is honey?
House. They dragged him here.
You must have dreamed, lover.
Who told you about that?
Once upon a time, on Gaze Island
Old Quoyles can't make away from there
So they criticized the house with the rope and they dragged it.
Yes, they dragged it
Across the ice, it's clear to the mainland.

QUOYLE: This is from the "News from Your Neighbors" column.
"Pole at the corner of Main and West Streets
" There is a sign on it that reads
"It's illegal to put anything on the pole
" We see the postman has landed on a tinkle
"to throw an incoming letter Killick-Claw Harbor.
" He said he was too much delivered
"and people can only take dipping and help themselves.
Guess that helps If you can swim."
This is a professional item.
How can I write this?
RABBIT: You can't.
You will be wrong.
Here now, miss! Don't you talk to your father like that!
Of course he can do it.
Petals Daddy never gets anything right.
Yeah, well, this will work.

I can understand why Jack grabbed you from the job market (telephone ringing)
(creaking chair)
TERT: Gammy birds
Uh huh.
That's right.
All right, Quoyle, you live an enchanted life.
Two minutes at work
and you have your first car accident FIREMAN: As far as I know, this site is really fresh
around 10, 15 minutes, eh, at most.
You have two victims - one male, one female.
Not a vital sign between them so we will wait until the police come now
Uh, the speed rate we estimate at 65
so there is nothing is unclean here
Not much You can do it, right
when the deer decides to hinder you
BILLY: That is certain.
Uh... the driver
the most preferred before the car hits the water, so at least that is a mercy.
Yes. Yes.
Well, there it is, and - and deer

Like that-- a moose whose size
BILLY: Oh, God, yeah.
Billy, I think we can share it

(vomiting) Yes yes yes
She's new, isn't she?
New friend
BILLY: Here it is.
This is a carcass like that which sells paper
Oh, Jack knows the reader.
Now, remember, there are still more people underwater rather than being killed on the road.
You want to get yourself a beautiful little boat soon.
Something that fits water.
I just don't want to think about the boat properly...
Who is that?
Why?
Oh, I... I'm just curious. I've seen it around.
He is very tall.
I... I mean
he... he has a good posture
He seems very...
the steps are different.
That is sadness that causes her child to go wrong He brought him when his husband was drowning in the sea.
As I said, there is more life
That loss.
How did your car accident come, Quoyle?
If I want war and peace I will be hired William Bloody Shakespeare.

"The police ate breakfast at the Codcake Diner
before he arrived at the accident site"?
Yes?
Your spelling is good

But-but find the center of your story -

Sometimes there is a story behind the story SERVICE: What can I do for that time?
Oh, um, I'll have, uh, whatever they experience What do you have?
Calamari Burger It's good.
Okay then. Do you want some french fries with that?

Unfortunately, I miss Manhattan one or two miles and stranded here when I stranded by Gaze Island.
I'm almost done My repairs I will sail away soon
He is ugly, and...
the only one I've been loved
(pretending to cry)
Eh, your story is to me bladder
Excuse me.
Um, is that between the two?
First thing:
You have to understand about curses Jack Buggit's father, his grandfather
His great grandfather all died in the sea
Second thing: Jack... sensitive.
Especially about the sea.
"Sensitive."
That's what they call the people around here
who, um, "knows" everything.
So, Dennis is forbidden from the sea
But it's free
Newfie and 21, he still left.
What? And that is enough...?
Storm of death
A large wave crack the steel hull in the middle of the ship
one inch gap from right to port.
Men enter the water. Dennis is missing
After about a week
They come to Jack and tell him the search will be canceled.
Jack stands like a rock.
Then he turns around - fast, the way he does it - and says...
"He lives...
and I know where."
So, go away, go out to sea alone, only with a small boat
and find Dennis.
Can you imagine possibility?
Find him Find him
Both arms were broken, 99% died
The boy came to.
And Jack said to him, "If you ever set foot on the boat again, I'll drown yourself."
And do you know what does Dennis say?
(whispering): Say it quickly.
He said...
"All fishing licenses are spoken for
I appreciate them if you give me yours
Jack looks into his eyes and they never speak again.
MENDONGKRAK: Quoyle... you have
"Shipping News" is written yet?
Oh yeah.
(clears throat)
There's nothing here.
Boat on, ship out. What else is there?
If I know, I will write it myself.
I took a chance for you, Quoyle.
Don't let me be disappointed.

"Hitler's Barge."
Uh, that's, uh, a ship in the port This goes with
"Shipping News".
So, what about Motorcycle accidents?
Oh, I'm still working on it
but I think this is a better story
What do you mean?
You didn't do it
the one that Jack wants you to do?
You did one that he didn't know you did?
Now, this is worse than your boat Jack even sniffed this he will cut you for lobster bait
I think I will run it.

They pulled the anchor last night without paying a penny
for all jobs we do it for them
Intruder
Now, you find out where they are
we will give you a pulitzer
What, did you make juju beads out of the lobster feelers?
Oh, that's beautiful Amazing, miss.
Now, where do you export this?

Card?

(grunting)
If you go to Shanghai I office, Tert

Oh, no, Jack...
No
This, uh, Hitler's ship...
Do you set it?
No, sir.
That's not the idea.
Get me Quoyle.
Quoyle... he wants you
Buggit, that's what you said for me on...
Please sit down.
I got four phone calls Last night
about Hitler's ship-- four.
People enjoy it.
Mrs. Buggit likes it.
Of course, You don't know
there's nothing about the ship, But it's entertaining too.
So, listen here, I'm an old child, I give you a weekly column.
A story about a different boat every week.
Human goods
Who is the owner of the ship, who lives and dies on it
who's drowning
those who have been saved, who lost their wealth who has His heart is broken.
Do you follow?
Tert!
Push up?
Order this boy a new computer
And buy the real one, is not one of the Japanese clones.
Do you understand?
Uh huh.
Oh, Mr. Buggit
I-I-I don't know what to say.
Did I not tell you
My name is Jack.
Push up.
IBM, please
Back to working, Quoyle
I... B... M.
(restrained snickers)
Lumbering Idiot Stuns Crowd... for a change.
WAVEY: Herry Prowse!
See how good
your kite did
Did you make him dance with your mind
Your kites do a lot of things better than Mr. Quoyle's.
(children laugh)
according to you Strange rabbit -
I mean, mentally?
That skinny ghost with a white dog?
He told me about that?
Maybe he is sensitive.
The way some people around here.
And what about the necklace?
Do you know how much from the person he made?
I mean... and I found it
bashing the baby doll The brain comes out with a hammer.
Baby dolls don't have brains
This is a toy.
Do you know him...
save the room for his mother?
Did he say that to you?
(soft): Yes.
Is he weird, is that all?
Is he okay? If you have to guess it.
That little girl is the only friend my son has ever had
So he's weird, you bet.
RABBIT: It falls!
(children laugh)
Alright.
This is it.
(seagulls calling)
(shortness of breath)
Do you know how did he die?
My husband?
It was a quiet night When Herold took the ship out.
There is no sign from any storm
Storms can be sudden around here.
He is not the only one The boat goes down.
That was four years ago...
and yesterday
HERRY: Look at how high we are already awake
RABBIT: Uh huh.
Beat you car.
(children laugh)
Did I blow it?
or can you shut up? be my friend?
Your friend Sure.
(Bunny humming)
Is this yours?
(yawning): The ghost brought it.
Then he ran away.
That skinny ghost with a white dog?
Don't say I dreamed of it.
(sighs)
BILLY: Ah, you've started to master it Now, persuade him a little to the right.
Attaboy. You are a Quoyle-- there is sea water in your veins
(groaning)
What is the condition for with your girl
Oh, Bunny just shut up adjusting, I think
Oh, I'm talking about Wavey Prowse.
Sorry sorry!
Whoa!
-Jesus! -Sorry.
I'm... Wavy and I'm just friends
Good. I don't have to drown me on it.
This is where I grow up.
That's my poor age Daddy there
And that's where your house stands
Before they drag it across the ice
Yes sir.
Before they were expelled.
What is pushed?
You never know Ah, alright.
That's not here or there right?
The point is, they make new places for themselves.
No, with what? What is pushed by?
Oh, that's an old item, kid.
It's in my blood.
You should be able to tell me Now, they came to Gaze Island centuries ago, they did it.
Old Quoyles are robbers.
They are, they are pirates, sort of like
Do you see them runny?
Fire is used to burn inside it to guide ships in the sea, like a lighthouse.
Now, Quoyles will move the fire to cheat the ship
They will lure them onto the rocks
so that the Quoyles can take their loot Oh, they are savages, old Quoyles.
Then they went too far one day, they... nailed a man to a tree
and they cut from his nose
to draw nippers and flies that - who ate it alive.
And that's when Quoyles was remembering the paper they were running.
Jesus.
Now, there is still an old Quoyle get off in one of these little bays somewhere.
They said he slept with his wife after he died
Is there anything else I need to know?
That's about covering it up.
(buoy bell rings)
BILLY: [m] When knitting pins, You follow [m]
[m] Hold tillers to west... [m]
[m] Behind the pin You must direct... [m]
[m] Until the old man's shoes... does not appear [m]
(Celtic drum fades)
(woman screaming)
(man shouting)
(men scream without being clear)
HUMAN: Drag, pull!
(screaming in anger)
AGNIS: Show the necklace.
See, if you make a bigger loop
You don't have to make so much.
RABBIT: Good.
Good morning.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Where is the chair?
Excuse me?
Chair that you are sitting in
Where; where did you get it?
This is not from around here right?
This is foreign, is exotic I don't want a pirate trap in this house
Billy Pretty told me all about it
It's a good thing finally someone does it.
I don't believe in the residence in the past.
No? Then what are we doing here
Making the future.
All right, alright
if not the second one comes from Quoyles
It takes a long time and breaks the food warmly I can't help but notice.
Hopefully you have a good idea for your next story, Quoyle.
I hate Jack for thinking
that's all beginner luck.
Let the man digest, Tert.
Your thoughts, if I am a respected writer
from the "Shipping News" column
I will take it McGonigle oilfield story
Petro-dollars; A flood of gold from work.
You wrote a story about it
I'll put it there on the front page
Thank you for dropping in, Tert.
Yes, thank you, Tert.
Ah, gee...
What was all about before?
Oh, uh, he has Mobil Oil.
Ten shares.
"to seabirds, fish and ships at Cape Despot.
" There will be more and more tankers.
"They will grow old and rusty - and their tanks will split. " And there will be a little fish, and less fishermen.
"No one has hung a picture of an oil tanker
on their wall, right?"
What do you think?
I thought when Tert Card saw it, he would stay until night
think of cheap shots to pay you back
I think he won't stop until you get fired
I don't think I'm very proud of a friend...
because I don't know when
(click switch)
(bubbling water)
(door squeaks)
Eh, what do you think?
Pretty impressive, huh?
Like I said, nothing hangs one of them
Well... your column the front page of the item
New now it's more a caption, all
"More than 3,000 tankers _ are proud to ride...
the world's oceans."
"Even the biggest takes advantage of from Newfoundland waters in ports and refineries."
"Oil and Newfoundland go together
" like ham and eggs
and like ham and eggs, they will do it feed us in the years to come. "
Even put your name on it " Let's all take pictures of an oil tanker on our wall. "
Man of your principles...
I understand the only thing that is honored Of course it's resignation.
(crumpled paper)
And if you go to see Jack Buggit
You will go must swim.
Because I run Gammy Bird, every inch -
that it will have to do without me
And if you think he will go to choose you more than fishing then you are stupid from donuts
If that is possible.
Push up?
For Christ sakes, Quoyle
cut your motorcycle
Okay, what's the emergency?
Can't wait until I finish fishing?
This is about my column.
Card, he printed it is not the way I write it.
Well, so
You don't agree How does the card load my newspaper
enough to lose your job?
Yes or no?
Yes.
(shortwave radio playing calmly)
(door open)
So, that's how Jack and I thought:
we want to run Quoyle's the wrong oil spill story
because of the controversy selling newspapers
and paper selling advertisements.
But the picture of the oil tanker is fixed.
(groans)
(laugh)
You should see Tert's face.
Yes?
Oh, that is a beautiful thing It's okay, I've seen it.
(chuckles)
-Oh, that's great. -Mm-hmm.
Let's see what's special How do you feel about ordering to go?
Have you ever had it before ?
No, what is it
Seal-fin cake.
Yes, it was made from, like
knuckle section from fin.
Parts of mucilage cartilage.
Yes, good too.
I mean, this is a good choice if you like that kind of thing
I... you know, I'm really not it's all starving
I just want, you know, to come and sit
I have lunch today.
Yes.
They say no is a true Newfoundlander
until you have a piece of from the fin fins.
Is that what they say?
Yes it's true.
Mmm, good. That is shocking.
(laugh): I never ate it myself.
You never eat this
This is terrible Here, I get some real food - see
(both laugh)
(melodic melody playing)
(engine speed)
(panting)
(grunting and panting)
(panting)
(motor clank dully)
(screaming in pain)
(panting)
(melancholy playing music)
(music continues)
(floating bellhop in the distance)
(motorbike chugging)
(motor throttles rear)
MENDONGKRAK: Christ.
I know someone is here
(groans)
Oh, for God's sake.
(shudder)
He is still burning fever.
There is a feeling
A little itchy.
You are lucky.
I'm fine.
I will be ready to get it back to the water
in 20, 30 other years.
I'll get my uncle, Alvin Yark, to build the right ship and learn how to use it, okay?
Good.
MAVIS: Are eyes open or closed?
I don't know
Just saying that head without body
What do the police have?
to say about that
Still working on it.
A little late to return head to the owner, though.
(grunting)
Hello, niece
Police Bulletin
"Mrs. Melville Silver was arrested early this morning
" in Lanai, Hawaii, for the murder of her husband
socialite and prostitute Mr. Bayonet Melville. "
" He pushed me once too often, " Mrs. Melville claimed
'so I finally backed away.' '
Good for you, my dear
Well, he might deserve it
-Hei. -Hei.
Don't expect too much.
You're the first person who ever cooked for me You have a lot of allowance
How are they?
They both fall asleep on Bunny's bed.
Should we trust them?
- (faltering laugh) -I can do this. You just don't think...
Oh no.
No, I know. Here...
let me do that, Alright?
This is it.
-Can you feel that... -Yes.
through your bandage
What?
Your husband, he never...
he never cooked food?
Why do we talk? About my husband
Because I understand.
You said, "It's been four years ago and yesterday."
(heavy sighs)
I understand that.
My husband isn't who we are talking about, right?
I will look for Herry.
He won't like waking up in a strange bed
(mysterious game theme)
(wind whistling lightly)
(crackling and creaking)
(mysterious theme continues)
-Hey! -Hah?!
Who are you?
(barking)
(growling)
(barking)
(mumbles)
I tie magic in this node
to protect you from home
There is no point in coming from the old place
Never, never... never.
You... You don't have...
business in Slum house
I got you out of there
But I'm a Quoyle.
Quoyle ?!
I am a Quoyle before you are
(clears throat)
Leave the house.
Say, uh... Agnis halo from...
Cousin Nolan.
(mumbles)
Do you know why is back?
To show that he is not afraid there is no place
Because I know what he did. I know.
He got rid of the baby he brought.
What can he do? What?
He is only 12 years old
and that is his own brother who did it for him.
(girl laughs)
(laugh)
No...
No! Not! Not!
Please! Not!
No! Please!
(scream)
(kettle whistles)
Does that belong to to you?
Sorry.
There is still hot water in the kettle
If you want tea.
I have started looking for places for me and Bunny
You believe you will go It's okay in the shop
I said I would, right?
I think Silver Melville is right
to cut off her husband's head.
He might deserve it.
I think more women must do what they do
Maybe some should do it for their own brothers...
my father.
Cousin Nolan stopped by Last night.
(clatter plate)
I always think if there are people I know, I will turn to stone.
Dirt!
Here.
Tea is a good drink.
That will leave you going.
When someone hurts you a lot...
how are you...?
Did it ever go away?
Is that possible?
(sitting mug on the table)
AGNIS: His name is Irene.
Love in my life.
You look happy.
So, yes, that is possible.
QUOYLE: Agnis says I have to move for winter
This will be a three hour trip from here to point
All ice...
Me and the rabbit, we have to find
a room in a city somewhere.
I will have the usual, please, Annie. Thank you.
Now, if it's the place for your stay you need
You can have my trailer
Perfect time What are you talking about?
My boat is ready If I stay here is even longer
I might start like that place
I threw myself a farewell party on Saturday
Depart to follow Sundays
Rootless traitor
Regret soon after, without a doubt.
(boisterous din)
(broken bottle)
(laugh)
Quoyle North!
Quoyle North.
Are You and Wavy? Is it dirty?
(unclear): Shh! He is a grieving widow.
Grieving for Herold Prowse.

This is like a party game in the city--
to see babies and see if they see like Herold
Hey...
Hey!
Everyone!

ALL: For nutbeem
We all love
Nutbeem is our damn thing, huh?

(echoing punch)
(woman screaming)
(grunting)
(hooting bird)
(the accordion plays in the distance)
(grunting)
(accordion grows harder)
(pounding)
What's wrong?
(slurring): I'm a Quoyle
I am one of the Quoyles pirates and looters and murderers.
My father was raped
and then he taught me how to swim
Stop that.
Jesus, you smell like a brewery.
Stop it.
Come on, Herry. Lasts.
(moaning)
Stop it!
Herry.
Sorry, Herry.
(panting heavily)
(vote termination): Forgive me, Petal.
I'm sorry.
(sniffles)
I mean Wavy.
Good. I feel better.
When will you tell me about your marriage marriage?
[m] [m]
I scrambled eggs.
Will you be able to eat?

Listen, me...
Maybe I should just go.
Where did you forget the door?
(close the door)
(pan clattering)
She's barely out of high school
Herold...
my husband, he's not dead Not that he doesn't do it He left me when I was eight months pregnant;
So I took the 15-footer out into the bay
cracks the stomach with an ax and sinks it
and packed my bag left the city
But then something funny happened.
All these people I grew up with
they put their hearts around me and Herry
so we will not be alone.
And I just can't go
I'm sorry, Wavey.
You're always sorry (crying softly)
(approaching footsteps)
You look dishy, Quoyle.
I'm afraid of my offer to let you live in my trailer must be withdrawn.
Sorry about that
And your boat.
I'm a bit disgusted with humanity.
I will never do it anyway A storm must have happened I destroyed me.
You saved my life, I imagined.
I collected my savings, and I flew back to Brazil
where is the water green swimming pool
You and Bunny can stay with your wife and me To Brazil
Brazil.
NUTBEEM: Brazil.
RABBIT: We can stay with Aunt Agnis in her shop
There isn't nearly enough space there for myself
You will like it in Dennis's house, baby
No, I don't want to.
Hi, Quoyle. Hi, rabbit
Welcome, weary travelers.
Our house is your house.
RABBIT: -No, no. -Come on.
QUOYLE: -Detailed... -Come inside, sweetie.
I made a big -fin seal.
RABBIT: What is it?
SKIN: Weather lamp Storm coming
DENNIS: Big ones.
(thunder roar)
Home... home...

(open creaking door)
(closing the door)
(thunder)
(thunder roar)

The green house is gone.
I don't dream about it.
Don't say that.
(telephone ringing)
Yes?
Oh, hi, ma'am. Some storm, huh?
What?
Oh.
Yes. Yes, of course.
RABBIT: Build what
QUOYLE: This is to say goodbye.
RABBIT: Buggit is sleeping with the angels
MAN 1: He is a hard person, But he is fair.
MAN 2: Others for Buggit Curses
QUOYLE: Dennis...
Yes, I'm still looking for for my father's Navy medal
I found it.
Don't worry This will happen Alright.
Thank you.
Mother.
What?
(gasping gently): Good...
I found it... on his desk in the office.
Will you write something for Gammy's bird about Jack?
Yes, I will try.
BILLY: Jack is... Jack is fine now.
You all know... we just pass.
We walked on these stones several times.
Our boat...
sailing briefly on the waves
and then they must sink.
Jack knows that is better than anyone
Is that right, Jack?
(whispering): Yes, son.
(gulp)
(scream)
(others scream)
(screaming continuously)
(screaming)
He's awake Push up...
Get a doctor!
Oh, Jack... oh, Jack...
(coughing)
Oh, Jack...
No no...
MENDONGKRAK: Come here, kid. I beat the curse.
Your fishing license
(siren tweet)
Honey, are you ready?
I want to wake up for the Petal.
Why not? get up?
Why don't we wake him up?
This works for him.
Dear, Mr. Buggit is not really...
This is more like he is in a coma.
From cold water.
It's like he's sleeping.
-Petal falling asleep. -No, honey...
You said he fell asleep with the angels I know. Dear, I know what I say, baby
You say! You said!
-I know, but he doesn't sleep. -You said! You said!
-Honey, baby, listen to me -You said!
I know what I say.
Listen to me. Listen to me.
I'm just... I'm too scared to tell the truth
The petal is dead And you know that.
I know you know that.
No problem.
Is it because of me?
What?
That he left.
Well, why are you? say that?
Because...
because I'm boring
(crying)
Oh...
No, honey, not because of you.
And you are but boring
Come here.
You came here Hon...
You trust me, don't you?
You still don't believe me, are you
About the house.
I already said that
Yes, right.
Bad things have happened.
For both of us
Maybe one day we will build it a summer house here
Summer...
RABBIT: Do they have summer here?
AGNIS: Oh, you will know it's summer when partridge berries are out.
WAVEY: And we can make partridge berry duff
and sweet berry okie
Will you show how?
I will, yes
I will.
QUOYLE: There are still many things I don't know
If a piece of string is broken can release wind
and if someone sinks can be built...
then I believe A broken person can recover.
Title:
Deadly Storm Brings Home.
Leaves... Good look.
