"I got a six-pack of cold brew skies with our name on them." "Come on, pal." "Come on, buddy." "Shit!" "Marlon, find him." "He's still in the room." " Come out, wherever you are." " Good." "Keep it light." "I know you're in here." "Check under the table." "The closet, behind you." "Gee, I wonder where he could possibly be." "Lawn-cam!" " Say something." "Keep it going." " He's gone." " Cut transmission!" " Cut transmission?" " God in heaven!" " Give me the phone!" "TECHNICAL FAULT PLEASE STAND BY" "We've got every available extra looking for him." "The crew, too." " What about prop cars?" " Accounted for." "He has the world's most recognizable face, he can't disappear." "Go find him, Pluto." "Good dog." "All this fuss!" "If he could just hear my voice." "Truman!" "Truman!" "Let me try." "Truman!" "It's me, Dad!" "Let's talk!" "Yeah, I know." "We're just about done with the square." "We've got to go back to Barrymore, check the interiors." "Who's watching the college?" "Send someone over there." " Take another man, get down there." " Find the son of a bitch!" "Get some batteries." "He's not gonna glow in the dark." "We need more light." "We'll never find him this way." " What time is it?" " It's way too early for that." "Cue the sun." "What time is it?" "Christ of, what's going on?" "There's rumors that he's dead." "The media's having a feeding frenzy." "Every network has a pirated shot of Marlon making an ass of himself." " The sponsors are threatening us." " We're getting our highest ratings." " No sign of him." " Go back to town, join the others." "Everyone else at first positions." "Everyone is at first positions?" "He's got to be there somewhere." " We're not watching the sea." " Why would we watch the sea?" " Sweep the harbour." " Bring up the harbour cameras." " Aren't some of those out?" " Yeah, but we have the lighthouse." "All buoy-cams, please." " Long lens, short-base cameras." " Why are we looking at the water?" "Truman, where are you going?" " Sailing?" "He's afraid of the water." " Resume transmission." "I got 2-1 he doesn't make it." "Just leave them in the car." "Get off this mast-cam." "You can't see his face." "Go to the cabin-cam." "Perfect." "That's our hero shot." " Let's get another boat out there." " I need to talk to the ferry guys." "Come on, get it moving!" " I'm just the bus driver." " They can't sail." "They're actors!" "How do we stop him?" "Okay..." "We're going to access the weather programme' now." "So hold on to your hats." "You got that?" "No, I think we'll want to localize the storm over the boat." "Get the co-ordinates." " There's no rescue boat." " He'll turn back." "He'll be afraid." "There she blows." "Come on." "Give me some lightning." "Hit him again!" " He can't die on television!" " He was born on television." "Hold on!" "Is that the best you can do?" "You're gonna have to kill me!" "What should we do with a drunken sailor..." " I demand you cease transmission." " Keep running." "Increase the wind!" " For the last time..." " Capsize him, tip him over." " He's tied himself to the boat!" " He'll drown, and he doesn't care." "Do it..." "Do it!" "That's enough." "I want to talk to him." "EXIT" "Truman..." "You can speak." "I can hear you." " Who are you?" " I'm the creator of a TV show." "It gives hope and inspiration to millions." " Then who am I?" " You're the star." " Was nothing real?" " You were real." "That's what made you so good to watch." "Listen, Truman." "There's no more truth out there than in the world I created for you." "The same lies, the same deceit." "But in my world, you have nothing to fear." " I know you better than you do." " You never had a camera in my head." "You're afraid." "That's why you can't leave." "It's okay, Truman." "I understand." "I have been watching you your whole life." "I was watching when you were born." "I was watching when you took your first step." "I watched you on your first day of school." "The episode when you lost your first tooth." "You can't leave, Truman." " Please, God." " You belong here." "You can do it." "With me." "Talk to me." "Say something." "Say something, damn it!" "You're on TV." "You're live to the world!" "In case I don't see you, good afternoon and good night." "He made it!" "All right, Truman!" "Cease transmission." " You want another slice?" " No." "Let's see what else is on."
