- Jane Winslett-Richardson: Are we - are we safe in here?
- Steve Zissou: I doubt it.
- Klaus Daimler: Do you still want to blow him up?
- Steve Zissou: No, we're out of dynamite anyway.
- Eleanor Zissou: It is beautiful Steve.
- Steve Zissou: Yea, it's pretty good isn't it... I wonder if it remembers me...
- [Jane finds Steve in her room, reading her diary]
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: I'm going to have to start locking my effing door.
- Steve Zissou: It was locked, I kicked it in. Why don't you just curse like other people?
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: Because I'm trying to get out of the habit before I have my fucking baby!
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: [fearing the Jaguar Shark might attack them in their sub] Are we-are we safe in here?
- Steve Zissou: I doubt it.
- Steve Zissou: Where'd you come from? You look pregnant.
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: I am pregnant. I'm not even going to ask what you men are doing out here in your matching pajamas, by the way.
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: May I turn this on?
- Steve Zissou: [bites into an apple] Fire one.
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: [Jane begins recording the interview] So what happened, in your opinion?
- Steve Zissou: [swallows the bite] ... what're you talking about?
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: Well, don't you think the public perception of your work has significantly altered in the last five years?
- Steve Zissou: - That's your first question? I thought this was supposed to be a puff piece.
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: ...should we come back to it?
- Steve Zissou: ...yeah.
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: Okay... Is it true that this is going to be your last voyage?
- Steve Zissou: Wow... no comment. Who told you that? No, goddamnit, I'm... only 52. How-how 'bout we start out with some stock dialogue? Favorite color, blue? Favorite food, sardines?
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: How do you feel about part one of your new film?
- Steve Zissou: Why? How do you feel about part one of my new film?
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: Well, I'm honest. You know, so...
- Steve Zissou: - Just say it!
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: I thought aspects of it seemed slightly fake.
- Steve Zissou: [pauses, obviously enraged] ... Wolodarsky?...
- Vladimir Wolodarsky: [getting up to leave, gathering the cat] ... I'll take five, Steve.
- Steve Zissou: ...how 'bout taking five?
- [the door closes]
- Steve Zissou: ... did it seem fake... when my best friend was bitten in half right in front of me? And eaten alive, screaming? I think you're a fake. I think you're a phony. And a bad reporter. How does that feel? And tell me something -
- [Steve pulls out a glock and points it at her, cocking it]
- Steve Zissou: Does this seem fake?
- [He replaces the glock]
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: ...how dare you! This entire article was my idea, no one else gives a shit!
- Steve Zissou: What about Sy Perlman?
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: [scoffs, and turns off the recorder] Are you joking? He's not even covering my expenses!
- Steve Zissou: [pauses for a moment, realizing] You're taking something out on me.
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: [turns off the recorder again, turns away and cries]
- Steve Zissou: Wh? Stop crying, what's the deal here? I was only trying to defend myself.
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: Well, you did a great job! I'm sure you'll make a terrific father.
- Steve Zissou: I wanted to give you a heads-up on what I thought of the piece...
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: You read it. What did you think?
- Steve Zissou: Well, I was a little upset at first. I mean, obviously people are going to think I'm a showboat, and a little bit of a prick. But then I thought... that's me. I said those things, I did those things. I can live with that. You're a good writer, Jane.
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: It's the effing cover.
- Steve Zissou: Thatta girl.
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: [about her baby] In twelve years, he'll be eleven and a half.
- Steve Zissou: [pause] That was my favorite age.
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: I need to find a baby for this father.
- Steve Zissou: Yeah, I think I know what you mean.
- [Vikram is filming Steve next to a screen with the homing dart signal indicating the location of the Jaguar Shark]
- Steve Zissou: Okay, action.
- [points to the dot]
- Steve Zissou: Well, look who's back in town. You've traveled over 150 miles since we last heard from you. This son of a bitch is heading for the South Pacific.
- [Jane enters the room]
- Steve Zissou: Turn on your tape recorder, cubbie.
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: Is it the Jaguar Shark?
- Steve Zissou: On the record, yes. Cut. Print both takes, Vikram.
- Jane Winslett-Richardson: Was I... just in the film?
- Steve Zissou: Yeah. You're gonna have to sign a release.
