"And the runner-up-- Well, actually, there are no runners-up." "Oh, sweet Joe, I love this part." "Choose 'em." "One, two." "Live or die."

"Turn her upside down." "Does that mean anything to you ?" "No." "[ Deacon ] We'll figure it out back at the 'Deez." "Back at the 'Deez, boys." "Careful with her." "Careful with her !" " What about them ?" " Do 'em both." "Torch the boat." "We have to go under !" "No, I can't breath like you !" "I'll breathe for both of us." "[ Man ] Whoo !" "[ Enola ] Helen !" "Helen, help !"

"Now they're yours... if you help me with just one problem, all right ?" "Now, ahem" " Now that tattoo on your back" " Ahem." "I've been told that, uh-- that's actually a map ?" "It's the way to Dryland." "Now we're gettin' someplace." "Could you teach me how to read that ?" "Setback." "Well, have you ever heard any of your friends talk about it ?" "You know, like your mommy or your pet fish ?" "Did he say anything ?" "You shouldn't make fun of him." "He wouldn't like it." "Girl, I don't give a shit what he'd like." "He took out my eye." "And if I ever see him again, I'm gonna cut open his head and eat his brains !" "You think he'd like that ?" "Can't kill him." "He's even meaner than you are." "But he's not here." "And he ain't comin'." "And no one's gonna save you." "He'll come for me." "He will." "Then you better tell me what I wanna know or he can see what's left of you... in a goddamn jar."

"Have I been asleep long ?" "I was dreaming." "It's funny." "I always thought Dryland floated." "That it drifted with the wind." "That's why it was so hard to find." "Why did you believe in it so much ?" "Because we weren't made for the sea." "Got hands... and feet." "We're supposed to walk." "I miss her sound." "Don't you ?" "[ Gregor ] Helen !" "He" " No, no, no." "Helen, up here." "Above you !" " [ Chuckling ] - [ Helen ] Gregor !" "[ Chuckling Continues ]" "Smart thinking to burn your boat."

"Where's Enola ?" "Smokers took her." "They'd have me too if it weren't for him." "My friend, thank you." "Very human of you." "Go grab your things quickly." "Quickly." "Come." "[ Gregor ] You see ?" "Right down there." "There's several of us survivors." "We'll just start over again." "[ Man ] You can't ask us to go get her !" "[ Woman ] Enola's the reason we're in all this trouble."

"[ Woman ] lf he wants to go, then let him !" "[ Woman #2 ] We don't want you here !" "You or the girl !" "Helen."

"[ Woman ] We've seen their smoke on the horizon !" " Know what that is yet ?" " The numbers ?" "Yes, I think I do." "It seems to be some ancient form of geographic location:" "latitude, longitude." "It doesn't make sense, though." "The numbers, they seem to be backwards or something." " It's upside down." " The world ?" "The poles have reversed themselves ?" "I've been mapping' the cities below." "The world wasn't created in a deluge." "It was covered by it." " [ Man ] That's blasphemy !" " [ Helen ] No, it's true." "I've seen it with my own eyes." "There is land." "It's right under our keel." " None of it's dry anymore." " Some is." "Enola's been there." "I know that now." "I saw what she drew." "So that's why he's going after Enola-- to find Dryland." "I don't care about Dryland." "This is ridiculous." "Going after the Smokers ?" "He doesn't even know which direction they came from." " [ Man ] I say let him go." " [ Woman ] We're better off without them anyway !" "If she's alive, I'll bring her back to you." "[ Woman ] Forget the mute-o, Helen."

"[ Deacon ] You got that tattoo figured out yet ?" "It would be easier if it was flat-- big and flat." " It needs to be flat." " What you got in mind ?" "Well, you cut it off her back."
