"Let alone well, if something happened next door, shouldn't you be calling them?" "Okay then." "I'll talk to him." "That was amber's mother." "Is she on some kind of medication?" "No, she's fine." "Why?" "Well, amber's dog's missing, and I guess they're very upset." "Hey, there!" "That sure beats the last boat we were on, huh?" "Hey, nice to see you." "Oh,hey,I thought I'd gone overboard." "Man,that's only some of it." "Here you go." " Oh, thank you." " Sure." "You see this?" "I've got a friend at the weather tracking service, and she took satellite photos of my tagging trip."

"Yeah?" "Mr. Furella is here from animal control." "Howdy." "Did you find amber's dog?" "I sure am glad I came out here." "Yeah, me too." "It's nice to have someone to talk to." "My neighbors think I'm crazy." "Listen,there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about." "Um... and I apologize if I get too personal on you here." "Well.." "I've been, um, having some issues since the accident." "And, well, I was wondering if you'd had anything that.." "like a a daydream." "Or, like, a flashback, you know."

"Or a land iguana." "Killers." "Gut a sheep right through." "It shocked amber's dog...to death." "Then ate it." "It was...horrible." "It was like an electrocution." "I hope I'm not insane when I'm your age." "You'll be in jail when you're my age." "Okay." "I don't know what's going on here, but if it keeps up, I'm gonna call your father." "all right, step back."

"He's been hiding that lizard thing in phil's backyard." "What?" "Yeah,mom." "A lizard that executed amber's dog with a ball of lightning." "I don't appreciate the sarcasm, miles." "Look,me?" "What about her?" "Well, savannah doesn't have some pet I don't know about." "I don't know what happed to her dog." "Okay?" "Maybe it woke up, got a load of amber, and ran off." "When you're ready to tell me the truth, young man." "You come talk to me." "And don't be late for school." "How does everything around here get to be my fault?" "Chill,homey." "It's all cool."

"Now how long you been tracking this thing?" "Um, since last saturday." "It's never done anything like this, right?" " It's never gone up in a river or - no, I told you." "It's never come within 20 miles of land." "Oh, come on, this guy won't get out of my way!" "Hey, whoa, rich." "Come on, this is not the road that's what this baby's for, off-roadin'." "Look,man,I want to see this thing too." "I just don't want to get killed doing it." "I'll be careful." "All right?" "You've got my word." "You're not out here on business, are you?"

"Nim is my extra curricular, all right?" "Sure,man." "Whatever you say." "I just hope it don't do to your mom what it did to amber's dog." "Yes, sir." "We're working on it." "We'll have the name of the person who's tracking the animal shortly." "Yes." "Sir" "I understand." "Look, can you hang on a moment, sir?" "Give me a realistic time frame." "This isn't simple, you know." "They have to vet the satellite trilateralation feed and check that against a time." "In simple ,non-technical language." "It takes what it takes." "We'll have a name soon, sir." "Okay, just take this." "And that goes with it too." "Yes." "All right, let's go." "dude, this is gonna be bad." "Excuse me."

"Not projections anymore." "We identified the tagger." "Laura daughtery." " We are not goingto do anything - it's a difficult situation." "Oh, yes." "They won't allow free radicals to run around out there." "Look, she could get a tape." "Then it's out on the news, on the web." "Viral." "And once it's out, you can't get it back." "So she should be killed and dumped into the river?" "Of course not." "But information must be controlled." "No threats." "Listen, davis." "If anything happens to dr." "Daughtery," "I will quit." "Attention piggly wiggly customers, all dairy products are marked 30 percent off today, so load up on all your dairy needs while you shop at the pig." "Come on." "Oh!" "Whoa!" "So what was in this aquarium?" "Fish." "That it?" "Plants." "Filtration." "It all came with the package." "Sure your kid didn't start an outboard in it?" "Because it wouldn't be unprecedented."

"I knew there was a reason." "For me to come out here." "35 seconds." "See, I'm not like you." "I never had, like,biology or, you know, any interest or" "I never had a passion at all, really." "I mean maybe fishing, but should be coming right round the bend." "You know, nobody really ever wakes up wanting to bean insurance salesman." "These last few weeks, I tell you, I've really felt like... this is all happening for a reason." "And that I got a really big part to play." "You ever get that feeling?" "Yeah, I do." "Ten seconds." "Yeah." "You getting it?" "Yeah." "I'm getting it." "Hey, boy!" "I mean,if that's not evidence, I don't know what is." "Thanks for getting here so quickly."

"Coast guard humboldt bay, coast guard humboldt bay, we have visual." "Excuse us, sorry." " Look." " I'm looking at it." "No, the cameras." "ladies and gentlemen, we will not harm this animal." "We're going to attempt to convince his animal to head back out to sea." "I repeat, we will not harm this animal." "Hey." "It's still here." " What?" " It's still here." "Listen." "Well, young man." "You've really outdone yourself." "You really have." "Shall we review the last couple of weeks?" "Brought up home by the coast guard at 4:00 in the morning." "Lying to us about a pet lizard." "Which ate amber's dog." "Oh,what am I gonna say to amber's mother next time I see her?" "Two weeks and you've been in more trouble than savannah has in her entire life." "Anything you want to say for yourself, partner?" "I'll get it." "Manners." "Hello?" "Hey,baby!" "It's daddy." " What's going on?" " I miss you, daddy." "Oh,I miss you too, baby." "Hey,is mom around?" "Mom,dad wants to talk to you." "I don't think she wants to talk to you right now." "She wants to know why you're in california, dad." "All right, well,it's..it's okay." "It's okay if she doesn't." "Just,uh... tell her daddy loves her." "Okay, baby?" "Okay." "And I love you too, all right?" "Bye." "Bye." " Hey." " Hey" "hey,listen." "I sure am sorry if if I scared you earlier today,you know." "I can get a little riled up sometimes." "Face facts." "I mean,hey." "You can't call this a coincidence when I drive all the way from california can I be honest with you?" "You did scare me a little bit earlier." "I mean,we don't know each other that well." "You know, and, um, the only thing we really have in common is this." "And if we're gonna keep going," "I have to be able to trust you." "Absolutely." "And I hey, you can trust me." "Okay?" "I promise." "I swear you can trust me." " Excuse me." " Yes?" " Are you dr." "Laura daughtery?" " Yeah." "Would you mind coming with me for a moment?" " Who's asking?" " Yeah, just hang on a second." "Nobody's going anywhere." "What's the problem?" "This is not a request, ma'am." " I'm talking to you,not her - please,this is not your concern." " I understand that,sir,but - get your hands off me!" "You don't touch an officer." "You know what?" "There's something going on here, and these people have a right to know about it." "They know what's going on too, y'all!" "They know, and they don't want you to know!" "Come with me." "30 eyewitnesses all describe a large mammal, a whale some say, which... are you done watching?" "My head is killing me." "And here's where the story gets stranger." "It seems to have hit a submerged power cable." "Never a thing on tv." "Feeling any better?" "How I'm feeling isn't the problem." "He's trying, sylvia." "Trying?" "Trying to get brought home by animal control?" "That's not trying." "Trying is standing in line at the grocery store with a broken aquarium like an idiot, suddenly realizing that your son has been lying to you about having a pet lizard now wait a second." "Maybe he's been lying to us because we've been a little too hard on him." "hard?" "The kid has every toy known to man, a 100-volumevideo game collection." "Oh, and have you seen his grades lately?" "So he's not an academic like this sister." "Well,that's an understatement." "He's gonna have to improve." "I don't know how he'll ever get into college." "Nice work." "Got the parents fighting." "Where's the lizard?" "Oh,right." "Top secret." "He ran away." "Happy?" "Oh, my god." "You miss that thing." "It's a reptile, moron." "It has a brain half the size of a pea." "You're,like,bonding with a vegetable." "You really can't take it personally." "Well, you have the right to remain silent." "Oh, I know it, but it don't really matter." "Big old cover up going on here, I know it." "Everybody knows it." "I'm gonna prove these things exist." "I'll tell you that." "My little brother didn't die for nothing." "Sure, buddy." "Get in the car." "Freak." "Little late this time, dr." "Cirko." "A lot of people saw it." "How you, uh--how you gonna spin that one?" " We won't have to." " Um, yeah, you will." "A lot of people had cameras out there." "The creature pulsed, and all digital data within two kilometers was destroyed." "Don't try to scare me with your crap, man." "I have some experience with this problem." "I'm sorry." "But, listen,um,I want to discuss something." " You can't stop me." " I'm not here to stop you." "There are government interests that want to keep control of what is happening here." "They have decided to have you involved." "But it is not why I want you." "I want you involved because... you're a good scientist." "And I respect you." "Which you demonstrated to me by framing me for plagiarism." "I pointed out that you had managed to do something with almost no resources that we failed to do with tens of millions and the united states military." "You tagged the creature." "Why should I work for you after what you've done to me?" "Because you will be present for history."
