:21:02
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine,
ten digits. That's wonderful.
:21:06
They tell me, too,
that you have gills.
:21:09
Isotropic gills. Are they merely
vestigial or are they functional now ?
:21:14
My name is Gregor. I've just come
to pay you a little vi-- vi--
:21:19
Oh, my God.
:21:22
I'm sorry.
I'm not laughing at you.
:21:25
I'm excited. Your gills.
They're functional.
:21:28
Icthyus sapien.
You can breathe in the water.
:21:31
How deep can you go ?
Look, I'm only here...
:21:35
because I want to learn
more about you.
:21:42
You don't like humans
very much, do you ?
:21:46
I can't say that I blame you.
But tell me:
:21:49
- Are all of your kind as
bad-tempered as you are ?
:21:55
- I have no ''kind.''
- Oh, fish rot.
:21:58
I'd be surprised if there
weren't others, and if there aren't,
:22:01
there will be eventually.
:22:04
Anyway, I've come here
because I need to ask you a question.
:22:08
Where-- Where did
your dirt come from ?
:22:11
Is it from Dryland ?
:22:14
Do you know what this is ?
:22:18
The ancients-- They did something
terrible, didn't they ?
:22:20
To cause all this water.
Hundreds-- Hundreds of years ago.
:22:24
If I tell you,
will you open this lock ?
:22:29
I haven't a key.
:22:32
- There's a mooring cleat down there.
- What ?
:22:35
- Good as any key.
- A mooring cleat ?
:22:40
I won't hurt anyone.
I'll just leave.
:22:43
- I'll be right back.
- Gregor !
:22:47
What's your business there ?
:22:49
- Move along !
- I'm not a brave man.
:22:51
If you know anything about Dryland,
please tell me. Please !
:22:56
Don't let it die with you.
:22:58
No, no, no, no.
Stop !
