0:25:04 > 0:25:05'Job interview?'
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Yeah, there's a Mr Quoyle here. Says he's an ink setter.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Hmm.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16'Have him meet me at the dock in, er...one hour.'
0:25:16 > 0:25:19That bronchitis of yours cleared up already?
0:25:19 > 0:25:20'Much better.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22'Thanks for your concern.'
0:25:22 > 0:25:24OK, Jack.

0:25:39 > 0:25:40Come on, get in.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53I'm not a water person.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57All Quoyles is water people. Boats is in your blood.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59That's why I'm hiring you.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I need somebody to cover the shipping news.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04You'll get a list from the harbourmaster -
0:26:04 > 0:26:06what ships go in to Killick-Claw...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08But, Mr Buggit, I-I-I'm an ink setter.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Pay attention, me old son.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I don't need no ink setter, I need a reporter.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17And you'll do local car wrecks.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Take the picture, write the story.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22We run a front-page photo of a car wreck every week,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24whether or not we actually have a car wreck.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Now, there's a knack for taking photos that make you feel something.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31If there's a dark patch on the ground,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34It reads blood whether it's motor oil or diet coke.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37And you want something human, er...
0:26:37 > 0:26:39a child's mitten, a purse...
0:26:39 > 0:26:41a baseball cap lying in the road.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43See, that's what makes it human.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44That's what makes the reader feel.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Jack, I'm no reporter. - Jesus sweet Christ.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51You think any of them tomcods knew how to write
0:26:51 > 0:26:53when I hired them?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55I get a feeling about people.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57That's all.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Welcome home, Guy.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I can't do it.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36I mean, even if I knew the first thing about writing, I...
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Car crashes - I can't cover those.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Why not?
0:27:42 > 0:27:43You know why not.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48We face up to things we're afraid of because we can't go around them.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Car wrecks are a fact of life up here.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Come winter, a drive into town'll be damn near impossible.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57We'll buy us a boat.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Look, I already told you, I'm not a water person.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04They dragged it here.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- What, honey? - The house. They dragged it here.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12You must've had a dream, sweetheart.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Who told you about that?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22A long time ago, on Gaze Island,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25The old Quoyles couldn't make a go of it there.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29So they lashed the house with ropes and they dragged it.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Yeah, they dragged it.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Across the ice, clear to the mainland.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27You got two victims - one male, one female.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Not one vital sign between them.

0:37:58 > 0:38:03They are having entirely too much fun, aren't they?
0:38:03 > 0:38:04It's a constant problem around here.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15Headline: Bumbling Dad Humiliated At Day Care.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Quoyle!
0:38:20 > 0:38:22C'mon over, Quoyle!
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Order's up now. Come and get it.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Aye, sir.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30Hey.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Hmm.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34You've been to the harbourmaster's.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Yeah, boats in, boats out.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Not exactly the stuff of legends.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Sometimes there's a story behind the story.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43What can I do you for then?
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Oh, um, I'll have whatever they're having. What are you having?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Squid burger. It's good.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50All right, then. You want some fries with that?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52OK.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53All right, then, be back.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Have you got yourself a boat yet, Quoyle?
0:38:55 > 0:38:56- No.- You ought to get Alvin Yark to build you one.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Or you could buy Nutbeem's.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03I built a Chinese junk.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Sailed it up from Brazil.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Unfortunately, I missed Manhattan by a mile or two
0:39:07 > 0:39:10and got stranded here when I shipwrecked by Gaze Island.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11I've almost finished my repairs.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13I'll be sailing away soon.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16She's ugly and...
0:39:16 > 0:39:19the only thing I've ever loved.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21MOCK WEEPING
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Eh, your story tugs at me bladder.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Excuse me.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Um, what is it between those two?
0:39:39 > 0:39:44First thing, you'll have to understand about the curse.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48Jack Buggit's father, his grandfather,
0:39:48 > 0:39:51his great-grandfather, all died at sea.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Second thing - Jack is...sensitive.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Especially about the sea.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58"Sensitive."
0:39:58 > 0:40:03It's what they call people around here who, um, KNOW things.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07So, Dennis is forbidden the sea.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09But being free, Newfie,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12and 21, he goes anyway.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- What? And that's enough...? - Death storm.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18A massive wave cracks her steel hull amidships.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20A one-inch crack from starboard to port.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Men go in the water. Dennis is lost.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26After about a week,
0:40:26 > 0:40:30they come to Jack and tell him the search is to be called off.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Jack stands like a stone.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Then he turns - quick, the way he does - and says...
0:40:39 > 0:40:40"He's alive.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43"And I know where."
0:40:46 > 0:40:48So, off he goes, out to sea,
0:40:48 > 0:40:50on his own, in just a skiff...
0:40:50 > 0:40:53and finds Dennis.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Can you imagine the odds?
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Finds him. Finds him.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Both arms broken, 99% dead.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05The boy comes to and Jack says to him,
0:41:05 > 0:41:10"If you ever step foot in a boat again, I'll drown you myself."
0:41:10 > 0:41:13And do you know what Dennis said?
0:41:13 > 0:41:14(Say it fast.)
0:41:14 > 0:41:17He said, "All fishing licenses are spoken for.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19"I'd appreciate it if you gave me yours."
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Jack looked in his eyes and they never spoke again.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25Quoyle? You got The shipping news written up yet?
0:41:25 > 0:41:26Oh, yes.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28CLEARS THROAT
0:41:29 > 0:41:31There's nothing here.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Boats in, boats out. What else is there?
0:41:37 > 0:41:40If I knew, I'd write it myself.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42I took a chance on you, Quoyle.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Don't let me down.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51DOOR CLOSES
0:42:03 > 0:42:05MAN SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Go get the Aspirin now!
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Oh, shut up! I had as much to drink last night as you did!
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Excuse me. Do I know you?
0:42:25 > 0:42:28I'm a... I-I work for the local paper.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31I do th-the shipping news. I was just...
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Is this your boat?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35That's a boat.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37This is a botterjacht.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40She was built for Hitler.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42He was the original owner.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43Really?
0:42:43 > 0:42:47I-I just wanted to ask you a-a couple of questions.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49The finest botterjacht ever built in Holland.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Tell him what happened in Hurricane Bob.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54And she's incredibly heavy. 40 tons of solid oak.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55Tell him!
0:43:00 > 0:43:03She broke free of her moorings
0:43:03 > 0:43:06and pounded six boats - expensive ones - to rubble.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Wham!
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Now tell him who let our insurance lapse.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Wham!
0:43:23 > 0:43:28Oh, it took six very expensive lawyers to weasel us out of it.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32Jesus! An inch from bankruptcy.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34Moral of the story?
0:43:34 > 0:43:36When you marry a tour guide,
0:43:36 > 0:43:39confine his authority to mixing the drinks.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44Did I come at a bad time?
0:43:44 > 0:43:47Yeah. Ten years ago would've been better.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54Wife Fires Artillery On Hitler's Boat.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03Hello.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05- Hi.- Hi. - You guys need a ride?
0:44:05 > 0:44:09Thanks, but, er, Herry likes to walk.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11Oh. Well, it's a nice day for a walk.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14Mr Quoyle...
0:44:14 > 0:44:17About the other day? I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19No, that's, that's all right.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21I-I was way off base.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24I-I admire anybody that works with kids.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27That's the hardest job in the world, you know?
0:44:27 > 0:44:30- I'm a journalist, myself. - Really?
0:44:30 > 0:44:32Have you seen our local paper?
0:44:33 > 0:44:35Strictly fish wrap.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37WIPERS SQUEAK
0:44:37 > 0:44:40What?
0:44:42 > 0:44:45I'm the new reporter there.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48I... Uh... Oh...
0:44:48 > 0:44:50No, I'm... I'm sure...
0:44:50 > 0:44:52that'll be, er...
0:44:52 > 0:44:53SHE SNIFFS
0:44:53 > 0:44:56- Good luck to you. - Oh, thank you very much.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58It was nice to see you again.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00Nice to see you.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02Bye, Herry.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09Dennis?
0:45:09 > 0:45:12POUNDING
0:45:24 > 0:45:25Bunny?
0:45:25 > 0:45:28W-What are you doing?
0:45:28 > 0:45:30She's boring.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32Boring.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43How was Bunny when you picked her up from day care?
0:45:44 > 0:45:47All right. A little snotty.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55What's that?
0:45:57 > 0:45:59Robert Burns.
0:46:04 > 0:46:05Someone gave that to you.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11Someone that you're missing.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19Six year ago today.
0:46:19 > 0:46:20Leukaemia.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25We weren't married...
0:46:26 > 0:46:29..but that's a technicality.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42KEYS CLACK LOUDLY
0:46:58 > 0:47:00That your boat?
0:47:00 > 0:47:03- Yeah, I just bought her. - One question remains - why?
0:47:03 > 0:47:05Well, she's a speedboat.
0:47:05 > 0:47:06It's a shit boat.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09Wallowing, cock-eyed bastard. It'll sink in a bathtub.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11Makes you cry to look at her.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13Just a coffin, boy.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15Let me know when you're serious.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17I'll take you down to see Alvin Yark.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20He'll make you up a sweet little Rodney.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23You don't have the sense God gave a doughnut, do you?
0:47:23 > 0:47:25I'm going home.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31The best you can do is bury it...some dark night.
0:47:33 > 0:47:37What in hell a name's this?
0:47:38 > 0:47:40"Hitler's Barge."
0:47:40 > 0:47:43Uh, that's, er, a vessel in port.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45It goes with the shipping news.
0:47:45 > 0:47:48So, what about the motorcycle accident?
0:47:48 > 0:47:51Oh, I'm still working on that but I think this is a better story.
0:47:51 > 0:47:52What do you mean?
0:47:52 > 0:47:55You didn't do the one that Jack wanted you to do?
0:47:55 > 0:47:57You did one that he don't know you did?
0:47:57 > 0:47:59Well, this is worse than your boat.
0:47:59 > 0:48:04Jack even sniffs this, he'll cut you up for lobster bait.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07I think I'll run it.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16And he crawled off the grass onto a branch
0:48:16 > 0:48:20and he made a cocoon, which is like a house,
0:48:20 > 0:48:22- except it's for a caterpillar... - Hey, Bunny.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24Shh! I'm reading.
0:48:27 > 0:48:29(He thinks I know how.)
0:48:29 > 0:48:32CHILDREN LAUGH Oh!

0:49:03 > 0:49:05- Oh, bye, Sarah. Bye, Patrick. - Bye.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08Hey, can you hold these rods together for me?
0:49:08 > 0:49:11You have to hold them flush against each other.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14- OK.- Thanks.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16Be careful, honey.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19- I want to see if it can fly. - Well, not in the house, sweetheart.
0:49:19 > 0:49:20Throw it in the air, high as you can.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22Count till it comes down.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25One, two, three, four, five.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Hey! Have you been to flight school?
0:49:28 > 0:49:29Not really.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31No? oh, my.
0:49:31 > 0:49:34BUNNY IMITATES ENGINE
0:49:47 > 0:49:50Aunt? Hey, guess what?
0:49:50 > 0:49:52Just keep it down.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54This is my assistant, Mavis Bangs.
0:49:54 > 0:49:55- Oh, hello.- How are you?
0:49:55 > 0:49:58Did you read my article on the Hitler boat?
0:50:04 > 0:50:07What?
0:50:07 > 0:50:09Silver and Bayonet Melville were clients of mine.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11They pulled anchor last night without paying a penny
0:50:11 > 0:50:13for all the work we did for them. The buggers.
0:50:13 > 0:50:18Now, find out where they're to, we'll give you the Pulitzer.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21What, you make juju beads out of lobster feelers?
0:50:21 > 0:50:23Oh, that's pretty remarkable, missus.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25Now, where do you export these?
0:50:25 > 0:50:27Haiti?
0:50:27 > 0:50:30Oh, well... Um, I'll tell you what.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32I'll, er, do my best.
0:50:32 > 0:50:35I'll try to get you a bit of ink in the next edition, how's that?
0:50:40 > 0:50:43Well, you know, these things take some time to work out, you know?
0:50:43 > 0:50:44Card?
0:50:44 > 0:50:46Hold on.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53If you're going to Shanghai me office, Tert,
0:50:53 > 0:50:55you best conceal the evidence.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57- Oh, no, Jack...- Nah.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00This, er, Hitler boat...
0:51:00 > 0:51:02You assign it?
0:51:02 > 0:51:05Nope, sir. It wasn't my idea.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08Get me Quoyle.
0:51:12 > 0:51:14Quoyle...
0:51:14 > 0:51:16He wants you.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27- Mr Buggit, it was what you said... - Have a seat.
0:51:27 > 0:51:32I got four phone calls last night about the Hitler boat - four.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34People enjoyed it.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36Mrs Buggit liked it.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39Of course, you don't know nothing about boats,
0:51:39 > 0:51:41but that's entertaining, too.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44So, listen here, me old son, I'm giving you a weekly column.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47A story about a different boat every week.
0:51:47 > 0:51:48Human stuff.
0:51:48 > 0:51:50Who owned the boat, who lived and died on her,
0:51:50 > 0:51:54who drowned, who was saved, who lost his fortune...
0:51:54 > 0:51:56who had his heart broke.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59You follow?
0:51:59 > 0:52:01Tert!
0:52:01 > 0:52:02Jack?
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Order this boy a new computer.
0:52:04 > 0:52:08And buy him a real one, not one of them Japan clones. You got that?
0:52:08 > 0:52:10Uh-huh.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13Oh, Mr Buggit, I-I-I don't know what to say.
0:52:13 > 0:52:16Did I not tell you? My name is Jack.
0:52:27 > 0:52:28Jack.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40IBM, please.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45Get back to your work, Quoyle.
0:52:46 > 0:52:51I-B-M.
0:52:54 > 0:52:57STIFLED LAUGHS
0:52:59 > 0:53:02Lumbering Idiot Stuns Crowd...
0:53:02 > 0:53:04For A Change.
0:53:16 > 0:53:17Herry Prowse!
0:53:18 > 0:53:21Look how well your kite is doing.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24Are you making it dance with your thoughts?
0:53:24 > 0:53:28Your kite is doing so much better than Mr Quoyle's.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30CHILDREN LAUGH
0:53:37 > 0:53:39Do you think Bunny's strange -
0:53:39 > 0:53:42I mean, mentally?
0:53:43 > 0:53:46The skinny ghost with the white dog?
0:53:46 > 0:53:48She told you about that?
0:53:48 > 0:53:50Maybe she's sensitive.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53The way some folks are around here.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56And what about the necklaces?
0:53:56 > 0:53:59Do you know how many of those she makes? I mean...
0:54:00 > 0:54:04And I found her bashing her baby doll's brains out with a hammer.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06A baby doll doesn't have brains.
0:54:06 > 0:54:07It's a toy.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12Do you know she's... saving a room for her mother?
0:54:12 > 0:54:14Did she tell you that?
0:54:14 > 0:54:15Yeah.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17Is she strange, that's all?
0:54:17 > 0:54:19Is she OK? if-if you had to take a guess.
0:54:21 > 0:54:24That little girl's the only friend my son ever had.
0:54:24 > 0:54:27So she's strange, you bet.
0:54:27 > 0:54:29It crashed!
0:54:29 > 0:54:31CHILDREN LAUGH
0:54:39 > 0:54:41All right. There you go.
0:54:50 > 0:54:54LABOURED BREATHING
0:55:01 > 0:55:04Do you know how he died?
0:55:05 > 0:55:07My husband?
0:55:12 > 0:55:15It was a calm night when Herold took the boat out.
0:55:17 > 0:55:19There was no sign of any storm.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23Storms can be sudden around here.
0:55:24 > 0:55:27He wasn't the only one whose boat went down.
0:55:31 > 0:55:33It was four years ago...
0:55:35 > 0:55:36..and it's yesterday.
0:55:50 > 0:55:54- Look how high we're up. - Uh-huh. Beat you to the car.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56CHILDREN LAUGH
0:55:59 > 0:56:02Did I blow it, or can you still be my friend?
0:56:04 > 0:56:07Your friend? Sure.
0:56:31 > 0:56:33BUNNY HUMS
0:56:39 > 0:56:41Is this yours?
0:56:44 > 0:56:45The ghost brought it.
0:56:47 > 0:56:49Then he ran away.
0:56:49 > 0:56:51The skinny ghost with the white dog?
0:56:51 > 0:56:54Don't say I dreamt it.
0:57:04 > 0:57:08Ah, you're getting the hang of it.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10Now, coax her a wee bit to starboard.
0:57:10 > 0:57:14Attaboy. You're a Quoyle - there's seawater in your veins.
0:57:15 > 0:57:18How are things with your girl?
0:57:18 > 0:57:22Oh, Bunny's just still adjusting, I think.
0:57:22 > 0:57:25Oh, I was talking about Wavey Prowse.
0:57:25 > 0:57:27Sorry... Sorry! Whoa!
0:57:27 > 0:57:29- Jesus!- Sorry.
0:57:29 > 0:57:32I... Wavey and I are just friends.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35Fine. Don't have to drown me over it!
0:57:45 > 0:57:46This is where I grew up.
0:57:46 > 0:57:49That's my poor old father there.
0:57:54 > 0:57:56And that's where your house stood.
0:58:05 > 0:58:09Before they dragged it across the ice.
0:58:09 > 0:58:12Yes, sir. Before they was driven away.
0:58:14 > 0:58:15Driven away by what?
0:58:18 > 0:58:20You never knew?
0:58:20 > 0:58:22Ah, well.
0:58:22 > 0:58:23It's neither here nor there, right?
0:58:23 > 0:58:25The point is, they made a new place for themselves.
0:58:25 > 0:58:30- No, by what? Driven away by what? - Oh, that's old stuff, boy.
0:58:30 > 0:58:33It's in my blood. You ought to be able to tell me.
0:58:36 > 0:58:40Well, they come to Gaze Island centuries ago, they did.
0:58:40 > 0:58:42The old Quoyles was rackers.
0:58:42 > 0:58:46They were, they were pirates, sort of like. You see them cairns?
0:58:48 > 0:58:50Fires used to burn in them
0:58:50 > 0:58:53to guide the ships at sea like lighthouses.
0:58:53 > 0:58:56Now, the Quoyles would move the fires...
0:58:56 > 0:58:58to fool the ships.
0:58:58 > 0:59:00They'd lure them into the rocks,
0:59:00 > 0:59:02so the Quoyles could grab their loot.
0:59:02 > 0:59:04Oh, they was a savage lot, the old Quoyles.
0:59:04 > 0:59:06Then they went too far one day.
0:59:06 > 0:59:08They...nailed a man to a tree
0:59:08 > 0:59:11and they cut off his nose
0:59:11 > 0:59:15to draw the nippers and the flies that...that ate him alive.
0:59:15 > 0:59:20And that's when the Quoyles was given their walking papers.
0:59:20 > 0:59:22Jesus.
0:59:22 > 0:59:24Now, there's still an old Quoyle
0:59:24 > 0:59:26down in one of these coves somewhere.
0:59:26 > 0:59:30They say he slept with his wife after she was dead.
0:59:31 > 0:59:33Anything else I should know?
0:59:35 > 0:59:38That about covers it.

1:00:59 > 1:01:00Good morning.
1:01:04 > 1:01:06Can I talk to you for a minute?
1:01:11 > 1:01:13Where's that chair from?
1:01:14 > 1:01:16Excuse me?
1:01:16 > 1:01:18The chair you're sitting in. Where'd you get it?
1:01:18 > 1:01:20It's not from around here, right?
1:01:20 > 1:01:24It's foreign, it's exotic.
1:01:24 > 1:01:26I don't want pirate's loot in this home.
1:01:27 > 1:01:30Billy Pretty told me all about it.
1:01:30 > 1:01:34It's a good thing somebody finally did.
1:01:34 > 1:01:37I don't believe in dwelling in the past.
1:01:37 > 1:01:39No? Then what are we doing here?
1:01:39 > 1:01:42Making a future.
1:01:46 > 1:01:48Well, well, well.
1:01:48 > 1:01:50If it ain't the second coming of the Quoyles.
1:01:50 > 1:01:53Taking a long and hearty meal break, I can't help but noticing.
1:01:53 > 1:01:57Hope you've got a good idea for your next story, Quoyle.
1:01:57 > 1:01:59I'd hate for Jack to think it was just beginner's luck.
1:01:59 > 1:02:00Let the man digest, Card.
1:02:00 > 1:02:03Mind you, if I was the esteemed author
1:02:03 > 1:02:04Of the shipping news column,
1:02:04 > 1:02:07I'd pick up the McGonagall oil field story.
1:02:07 > 1:02:08Petro-dollars - a golden flood of jobs.
1:02:08 > 1:02:10You write a story about that,
1:02:10 > 1:02:13I'll put it on the front page.
1:02:13 > 1:02:14Thank you for stopping by, Tert.
1:02:14 > 1:02:16Yeah, thanks, Tert.
1:02:19 > 1:02:20Aw, gee...
1:02:20 > 1:02:22What was that all about?
1:02:22 > 1:02:25Oh, er, he owns Mobil oil.
1:02:26 > 1:02:29Ten shares.
1:02:30 > 1:02:32What about your column?
1:02:32 > 1:02:34What about it?
1:02:34 > 1:02:36You said you'd read it to me.
1:02:36 > 1:02:39Yeah, I will, once the game is done.
1:02:39 > 1:02:42HORN BLOWS
1:02:44 > 1:02:49"There's a 1904 photo hung in the Killick-Claw library -
1:02:49 > 1:02:52"eight schooners heading out to the fishing grounds.
1:02:52 > 1:02:55"Their sails are white and beautiful.
1:02:55 > 1:02:57"But nowadays you're just as likely
1:02:57 > 1:02:59"to see a big black shape of an oil tanker,
1:02:59 > 1:03:02"like the ruptured golden goose.
1:03:02 > 1:03:05"Last week it leaked 14,000 tons of crude
1:03:05 > 1:03:08"onto the seabirds, fish and boats at Cape Despot.
1:03:08 > 1:03:10"There will be more and more tankers.
1:03:10 > 1:03:14"They will get old and corroded and their tanks will split.
1:03:14 > 1:03:18"And there will be less fish, and less fishermen.
1:03:18 > 1:03:22"Nobody hangs a picture of an oil tanker an their wall, do they?"
1:03:26 > 1:03:29What do you think?
1:03:31 > 1:03:34I think when Tert Card sees it, he'll stay up nights
1:03:34 > 1:03:36thinking of cheap shots to pay you back.
1:03:36 > 1:03:39I think he won't stop until you're fired.
1:03:42 > 1:03:46I think I haven't been so proud of a friend...

1:04:10 > 1:04:13Like I said, nobody hangs one of those.
1:04:13 > 1:04:15Well...your column's front-page stuff.
1:04:15 > 1:04:19Only now it's more a caption, is all.

1:04:34 > 1:04:39"And like ham and eggs, they'll nourish us in the coming years."
1:04:39 > 1:04:41Even put your name on it.

1:05:08 > 1:05:11then you're dumber than a doughnut.
1:05:12 > 1:05:14If that's possible.
1:05:39 > 1:05:41Jack?
1:05:41 > 1:05:44For Christ's sakes, Quoyle, cut your motor!
1:05:58 > 1:06:01All right, what's the emergency?
1:06:01 > 1:06:03- Can't it wait till I'm done fishing? - It's about my column.
1:06:03 > 1:06:06Card, he printed it not the way I wrote it.
1:06:06 > 1:06:07Well, so?
1:06:08 > 1:06:15You disapprove how Card runs my newspaper enough to lose your job?

1:06:45 > 1:06:48We want to run Quoyle's wrong-headed oil spills story
1:06:48 > 1:06:53because controversy sells papers and papers sells ads.

1:07:24 > 1:07:25Let's see what the special is.
1:07:33 > 1:07:35How do you feel about ordering to go?
1:07:40 > 1:07:41You ever had that before?
1:07:41 > 1:07:43No, what is it?
1:07:43 > 1:07:44Seal-flipper pie.
1:07:46 > 1:07:50Yeah, it's made from, like, the knuckle part of the flipper.
1:07:51 > 1:07:52The slimy cartilage part.
1:07:55 > 1:07:58Yeah, it's good, though. I mean, it's a good choice...
1:07:58 > 1:08:00if you like that sort of thing.
1:08:00 > 1:08:02I... You know, I'm really not all that hungry.
1:08:02 > 1:08:05I just wanted, you know, to come and sit.
1:08:05 > 1:08:08- I had a big lunch today. - Yeah.
1:08:08 > 1:08:10They say you're not a real Newfoundlander
1:08:10 > 1:08:14till you've had a piece of seal-flipper pie.
1:08:17 > 1:08:19- That's what they say? - Yeah, that's right.
1:08:28 > 1:08:31Mmm, good. That's surprising.
1:08:32 > 1:08:34I never eat it, myself.
1:08:34 > 1:08:36You never eat this?

1:15:01 > 1:15:04Your husband, he never...?
1:15:04 > 1:15:06He never cooked you a meal?
1:15:08 > 1:15:10Why are we talking about my husband?
1:15:12 > 1:15:14Because I understand.
1:15:15 > 1:15:18You said, "It's four years ago and it's yesterday."

1:17:32 > 1:17:35To show she ain't afraid of the place no more.
1:17:35 > 1:17:39Cos I know what she's done. I know.
1:17:40 > 1:17:43She got rid of the baby she was carrying.
1:17:43 > 1:17:45What could she do? What?
1:17:45 > 1:17:49She was only 12
1:17:49 > 1:17:55and it was her own brother that done it to her.

1:19:06 > 1:19:07if you want some tea.
1:19:10 > 1:19:13I've started looking for a place for me and Bunny.
1:19:13 > 1:19:15You sure you're going to be OK at your shop?
1:19:17 > 1:19:18I said I would, didn't I?
1:19:27 > 1:19:31I think Silver Melville was right to chop her husband's head off.
1:19:32 > 1:19:34He probably deserved it.
1:19:44 > 1:19:47I think more women should do what she did.
1:19:50 > 1:19:53Maybe some should have done it to their own brother...
1:19:58 > 1:19:59..my father.
1:20:02 > 1:20:05Cousin Nolan dropped by last night.
1:20:37 > 1:20:41I always thought if anyone knew, I'd be turned to stone.

1:22:24 > 1:22:27So, yeah, it is possible.
1:22:33 > 1:22:36Agnis tells me we got to move for the winter.
1:22:36 > 1:22:38It'll be a three-hour drive from here. All the ice...
1:22:38 > 1:22:42Me and Bunny, we'll have to find a room in town somewhere.
1:22:42 > 1:22:45I'll have the usual, please, Annie. Thank you.
1:22:49 > 1:22:53Well, if it's a place to stay you need,
1:22:53 > 1:22:55you can have my trailer.
1:22:55 > 1:22:56Timing's perfect.
1:22:56 > 1:22:58What are you talking about?

1:22:59 > 1:23:01If I stay here any longer,
1:23:01 > 1:23:02I might begin to like the place.
1:23:02 > 1:23:06I'm throwing myself a farewell party on Saturday.

1:23:35 > 1:23:38Shh! she's a grieving widow.
1:23:40 > 1:23:43Grieving for Herold Prowse. Oh, that's a good one.
1:23:44 > 1:23:47Let me tell you something about old Herold Prowse.
1:23:47 > 1:23:49It's like a party game in town -
1:23:49 > 1:23:53to look at babies and see if they look like Herold.

1:25:50 > 1:25:52I'm one of the Quoyles.
1:25:53 > 1:25:55Pirates and looters and murderers.
1:25:57 > 1:25:59My father raped his little sister...
1:26:00 > 1:26:02and then he taught me how to swim.
1:26:04 > 1:26:06Stop that.
1:26:06 > 1:26:09Jesus, you smell like a brewery.
1:26:09 > 1:26:10Stop it.
1:26:12 > 1:26:14Go on, Herry. Go on.
1:26:14 > 1:26:16QUOYLE WHIMPERS
1:26:16 > 1:26:18Stop it!
1:26:22 > 1:26:24Herry.

1:26:30 > 1:26:32QUOYLE SOBS
1:26:33 > 1:26:36I'm sorry, Petal.
1:26:36 > 1:26:38I'm so sorry.
1:26:41 > 1:26:43I meant Wavey.
1:26:44 > 1:26:47Good. I feel much better.
1:26:48 > 1:26:52When were you going to tell me about your fucked-up marriage?
1:27:31 > 1:27:34I'm scrambling eggs. Are you able to eat?
1:27:34 > 1:27:36No.
1:27:40 > 1:27:41Listen, I'm...
1:27:48 > 1:27:50Maybe I should just go.
1:27:54 > 1:27:57You forget where the door is?
1:28:11 > 1:28:13DOOR CLOSES
1:28:18 > 1:28:22He ran off to Winnipeg with some bitch barely out of high school.
1:28:22 > 1:28:24Is that fucked up enough for you?
1:28:25 > 1:28:27Herold...
1:28:27 > 1:28:30My husband, he didn't die.
1:28:30 > 1:28:32Not that he didn't deserve to.
1:28:32 > 1:28:35He left me when I was eight months pregnant, no good to him in bed.
1:28:35 > 1:28:39So I took his 15-footer out into the bay,
1:28:39 > 1:28:42cracked the hull with a hatchet and sunk her...
1:28:42 > 1:28:45and pretended he was drowned.
1:28:45 > 1:28:48And played the grieving widow.
1:28:48 > 1:28:50And packed my bags to leave town.
1:28:50 > 1:28:52But then a funny thing happened.
1:28:52 > 1:28:54All these folk I grew up with,
1:28:54 > 1:28:58they put their hearts around me and Herry, so we wouldn't be alone.
1:28:59 > 1:29:01And I just couldn't leave.
1:29:01 > 1:29:04I'm sorry, Wavey.
1:29:04 > 1:29:06You're always sorry.
1:29:38 > 1:29:40FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
1:29:45 > 1:29:47You're looking dishy, Quoyle.
1:29:49 > 1:29:52I'm afraid my offer to let you stay in my trailer
1:29:52 > 1:29:54will have to be retracted.
1:29:59 > 1:30:00Sorry about that.
1:30:02 > 1:30:03And your boat.
1:30:03 > 1:30:08I'm some disgusted with the human race.
1:30:08 > 1:30:11I never would have made it anyway.
1:30:11 > 1:30:14Storms would have blown me to bits.
1:30:14 > 1:30:17You boys saved my life, I imagine.
1:30:18 > 1:30:21I've gathered up my savings and I'm flying back to Brazil...
1:30:22 > 1:30:26..where the water is swimming-pool green.
1:30:29 > 1:30:31You and Bunny can stay with the wife and me.
1:30:34 > 1:30:36To Brazil.
1:30:38 > 1:30:39Brazil.
1:30:39 > 1:30:42- Brazil.- Brazil.
1:30:45 > 1:30:48We can stay with Aunt Agnis over at her shop.
1:30:48 > 1:30:50Barely enough room there for myself.
1:30:50 > 1:30:52You'll like it at Dennis' house, sweetie.
1:30:52 > 1:30:54No, I won't.
1:30:54 > 1:30:56Hi, Quoyle. Hi, Bunny.
1:30:56 > 1:30:58- Welcome, weary travellers. - Our home's your home.
1:30:58 > 1:30:59- No, it's not.- Come on in.

1:36:23 > 1:36:25What's a wake?
1:36:25 > 1:36:28It's to say goodbye.
1:36:28 > 1:36:31Mr Buggit is sleeping with the angels.
1:36:35 > 1:36:37He was a hard man, but he was fair.
1:36:37 > 1:36:40Another one for the Buggit curse.
1:36:40 > 1:36:41Dennis.
1:36:41 > 1:36:43Yeah, I'm still looking for my Dad's Navy medal.
1:36:43 > 1:36:44I found it.
1:36:44 > 1:36:46Don't you worry.
1:36:46 > 1:36:49It's going to be all right.
1:36:49 > 1:36:50Thank you.

1:36:53 > 1:36:54What?
1:36:54 > 1:36:56Oh, good...
1:36:56 > 1:36:58I found it... in his desk at the office.
1:37:00 > 1:37:03Would you write something for the Gammy Bird about Jack?
1:37:03 > 1:37:06Yes, I'll try.
1:37:10 > 1:37:13Jack is... Jack is all right now.
1:37:15 > 1:37:19You all know... we are only passing by.
1:37:19 > 1:37:22We walk over these stones a few times.
1:37:24 > 1:37:25Our boats...
1:37:25 > 1:37:28sail for a little while on the waves
1:37:28 > 1:37:30and then they have to sink.
1:37:30 > 1:37:33Jack knew that better than anyone.
1:37:33 > 1:37:35Right, Jack?
1:37:35 > 1:37:36(Yes, boy.)

1:38:16 > 1:38:18The fishing licence is yours.
1:38:27 > 1:38:30Sweetheart, you ready?
1:38:30 > 1:38:32I want to have a wake for Petal.
1:38:32 > 1:38:35Why didn't we have a wake?
1:38:35 > 1:38:37Why didn't we wake her up?
1:38:37 > 1:38:39It worked for him.
1:38:41 > 1:38:44Honey, Mr Buggit wasn't really...
1:38:44 > 1:38:46It's more like he was in a coma...
1:38:46 > 1:38:47from the cold water.
1:38:47 > 1:38:49It's like he was sleeping.
1:38:49 > 1:38:51- Petal was asleep. - No, honey...
1:38:51 > 1:38:54You said she was asleep with the angels!
1:38:54 > 1:38:56- I know what I said, honey. - You said! You said!
1:38:56 > 1:38:57- I know...- You said! you said!
1:38:57 > 1:39:00- Honey, honey, listen to me. I know. - You said!
1:39:00 > 1:39:02Listen to me. Listen to me.
1:39:02 > 1:39:06I just... I was too scared to tell you the truth.
1:39:08 > 1:39:09Petal is dead.
1:39:13 > 1:39:15And you know that.
1:39:15 > 1:39:17I know you know it.
1:39:22 > 1:39:23It's OK.
1:39:24 > 1:39:27Is it because of me?
1:39:28 > 1:39:30What?
1:39:30 > 1:39:32That she drove away.
1:39:32 > 1:39:34Well, why would you say that?
1:39:35 > 1:39:37Because...
1:39:37 > 1:39:39Because I'm boring.
1:39:44 > 1:39:46BUNNY SOBS
1:39:46 > 1:39:52Oh... No, honey, it's not because of you.
1:39:55 > 1:39:57And you are anything but boring.

1:40:41 > 1:40:43Worse things have happened.
1:40:43 > 1:40:45To both of us.
1:40:47 > 1:40:50Maybe one day we'll build a summerhouse out here.
1:40:51 > 1:40:53Summer...
1:40:53 > 1:40:56Do they have summer here?
1:40:56 > 1:41:00Oh, you'll know it's summer when the partridge berries are out.
1:41:00 > 1:41:04And we can make partridge berry duff and sweet berry okie.
1:41:04 > 1:41:07Will you show me how?
