The Perfect Storm (2000) Edit

A couple boxes.

A house with things in it. All that stuff.

A juicer and a head.

A lady vain about her nose, is in my wheelhouse.

A report here that Cape Ann fishing industry is in tatters.

A.P., give me a hand.

About 20.3 miles, captain.

About how I lost it?

Add to the scenario this baby off Sable Island, scrounging for energy.

Advise you proceed to next incident at your discretion, over.

Ah! Yeah!

Ah.

Aha!

Ahh!

Ahh.

Air Force rescue 2 3 1, you've got a wet hose.

Air Force rescue 2 3 1.

All clear?

All I can say is, there's some lucky kids.

All right, cap.

All right, come on, get it out!

All right, guys, get ready!

All right, guys, let's hit it!

All right, here we go.

All right, let's go.

All right, Ma.

All right, now, gaff him. Gaff him!

All right, send them down.

All right, we got good ice on them now.

All right, we lined up?

All right!

All right! Let's do it again.

All right?

All right?

All right.

All right.

All right.

All warm and sweet.

Altitude.

Altitude. Get her up, get her up!

An Air National Guard rescue helicopter has been dispatched.

And a rookie like you, three quarters share.

And Alfred Pierre.

And I got a feeling I'll do it even better this time.

And I say, Hey, Bobby, where you been?

And I will this time! So don't fuck with me!

And I'll love you forever.

And I'm smiling to myself because ...

And I'm writing this on a box of two semi down pillows ...

And is motoring hell bent towards the Atlantic.

And lots of weather.

And me wishing the morning would never come.

And Murph ...

And my guy is out there risking his life for a bunch of stupid fish.

And my kids.

And my son.

And never see something like this.

And scream for help!

And then he's gone.

And then?

And there's your two kids. You gotta get them back.

And wave to the lighthouse keeper's kid on Thatcher Island.

And you're the woman for him.

Andrea Gail, Andrea Gail. This is Hannah Boden.

Andrea Gail, come in!

Anything yet?

As for me, I'm staring here at solid white chop.

At least I got the nose right.

At least we'll get cancer together.

At Logan International Airport, flooded runways.

Back off! Back off.

Bail! Bail out!

Be careful.

Beats a leg, don't it?

Beautiful. We're coming.

Because people know me as Bugsy.

Big dump ducks.

Billy ...

Billy Tyne is no fine wine.

Billy Tyne's lost it? Gets a little slow, they'll draw and quarter you.

Billy, can you hear me?

Billy, get out of there.

Billy, over.

Billy, you won't like this, but I'm gonna say it anyway:

Billy! Billy, for chrissake!

Billy.

Birds in. Got it, skip.

Black backs ...

Blow your horn ...

Bobby ...

Bobby!

Bobby?

Bobby.

Bobby.

Boys, that's it.

Bring in your fish. It shouldn't take too long.

Bring it up.

Bring up the basket!

Broadside, captain?

Bugs, help him out.

Bugs, how you making out?

Bugs.

Bugsy ...

Bugsy!

Busy enough.

But all in all, you're just a little punk.

But any man who sailed with him must've been the better for it.

But he gets another overhaul, son of a bitch!

But he won't tell me.

But I like my boat better.

But I'm glad you know how to swim.

But I'm not completely blind. I can still see out of the other one.

But if you were gonna pin me down ...

But it's caught a ride on the jet stream ...

But why go all the way to the Flemish Cap to prove it?

But you are. If you don't like it, get the hell off! All of you.

But you gotta begin with a baby shake, right?

But you've got it, Captain Greenlaw.

But, cap ...

Buy a house and raise kids.

By now, honey, you know him much better than I do.

Call the cutter. We're coming in hot.

Calling the Andrea Gail.

Came out here for nothing.

Can I buy you a drink? What, what, what?

Can we talk about something else now?

Can't even keep track of them with so many accidents at sea.

Can't remember, my ass.

Cap, man overboard!

Cape Ann, bottom shelf.

Captain, the boys would like to have a word with you.

Catch fish, boys. Lots of them. Full ahead.

Chris Boom Boom Cotter.

Christina, can you hear me?

Christina.

Climb! Climb!

Close to 2:00.

Coast Guard Boston.

Come in, for God's sake, come in! Billy, these storms have collided!

Come on, board it up!

Come on, boys. Let's go.

Come on, Bugsy. Grab it!

Come on, cap, we can do it.

Come on, Debra.

Come on, get it up now!

Come on, get it up.

Come on, guys, try to get you closer.

Come on, guys, you can do it!

Come on, help me!

Come on, lay it on.

Come on, let's go!

Come on, Murph, will you?

Come on, Murph.

Come on, Murph.

Come on, skip, come on!

Come on, Sully. What are you, a fisherman or a farmer?

Come on, swing it.

Come on, you bitch!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Give me your hand!

Come on! Not again.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Bring it up.

Come on. Jesus.

Congratulations.

Cool.

Could I maybe take you home?

Credit for having the guts to walk in here?

Crew guys like you never have cars.

Dale Murphy ...

Damn, I can't see anything.

Dangerous?

Dash into shore, cut across shipping lanes ...

Did we come out here for nothing?

Did you hear the lady? Ben Pulley's dead.

Did you see him?

Didn't hit very hard, did you?

Do it, skip, do it.

Do we have any other choice?

Do what I've always done: Go with the flow.

Do you hear me?!

Do you know how much I love you?

Do you mind?

Do you read me, governor? Do you?!

Do you read me? Come in!

Do you think he'll like it?

Do you think you'll love them?

Don't go, Bobby. I got a bad feeling.

Don't make the same mistake I did.

Easy, Murph.

Edie, they heard me! They're coming!

Efforts of half a dozen Northeast air rescue stations.

Ethel, where you getting your customers these days?

Everybody here?

Excuse me, men, madam.

Faster!

Few means two?

Fish and fun gee!

Fish on.

Florence.

Folks, the worst is yet to come.

For swordboat Andrea Gail.

For those of us left behind ...

Forever love, Bobby.

Forget it, we won't make it! Missy, get on the radio now!

Frickin' Alfred Pierre.

Get another one.

Get back!

Get him off!

Get it out of here.

Get it up there!

Get ready!

Get ready!

Get that line.

Get the gaff!

Give him a hand!

Give him lots of hugs and kisses tonight.

Give it to him.

Give me the coordinates.

Give us some lights.

Given the warm and volatile Gulf Stream ...

Gloucester. They're always from Gloucester.

Go back, Bobby.

Go find him. Go find Jonesy. Go get him.

Go on up there.

Go up swell and drift down.

Go, Jonesy, go!

Go, Melissa!

Go.

Goddamn it, we don't lose anybody!

Going to get drunk, eat like a pig and sleep like a child!

Good afternoon, madam. I'm Sergeant Jeremy Mitchell.

Good morning. Where'd you get the mouse?

Good night.

Good point.

Good shot, buddy.

Good.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Got a couple of markers to boot.

Gotta go, Mom.

Gotta go.

Grab it, Jer, just grab it!

Grab it!

Grab the line!

Grand Banks are no joke in October. All right?

Half an hour ago, they shook the lamps over the bar.

Half for you.

Hang on, there's a swell!

Hang on!

Hang on!

Hang on.

Has also been suspended after aircrafts covered ...

Have a drink?

Have a drink. It's not that bad.

Have those gaffs ready.

Haven't got time. We're going out in two days.

He just smiles and says:

He leaves a wife and three daughters.

He paying you?

He'll love it.

He's dead weight. He's been screwing around all night.

He's in the water.

He's lost his touch with our long line.

He's my friend.

He's my precious boy.

He's too scared to say.

Head north, open up to 12.

Hear what?

Hello.

Help me, guys!

Helping out a friend.

Here comes your fearless leader, Captain Billy Tyne.

Here you are.

Here's your cut. $5923.76. Sign the ledger.

Hey, A.P.

Hey, beautiful.

Hey, big man, how you doing?

Hey, how about a little hand over here?

Hey, Jeremy, I don't like this.

Hey, knock it off!

Hey, skip, I'm giving you notice.

Hey, talk to me, J. Talk to me.

Hey! Guys, we're alive!

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey. Hey, rookie.

Hi.

Highflyer!

Hm.

Hold down the fort, Quentin.

Hold down the fort, Quentin.

Hold on, hold on!

Hold on, Jer. Just hold on.

Hold on!

Holy shit! Rogue wave!

Home in bed.

Home safe.

Home? I thought the sea was your home.

How about it?

How about you?

How do he do it, mon?

How was the water, Murph?

How you doing, Quentin?

How you feeling?

How you gonna act onboard if you're already at each other's throats?

How'd you hit it, Billy?

However, as of this hour, the Coast Guard has suspended its search ...

However, as of this hour, the Coast Guard has suspended its search ...

Huge ...

Huh?

Hurry up, before the captain sees.

I ...

I always find the fish! Always!

I am.

I came to watch the game. Instead I got schnockered with Bugsy.

I can't hold her!

I can't make it, cap. They're coming for you.

I can't put it off any longer.

I can't remember.

I come here because I need the money. I'm trying for a new start.

I did. She's fried, skip.

I didn't say that.

I do.

I do.

I don't have a work ethic. I just have work.

I don't know if you can, but I'm talking to you, baby.

I don't know.

I don't see anything!

I don't think so.

I don't want a new dad.

I get half. I own the boat.

I got a feeling skipper's coming to give us bad news.

I got a feeling, yeah, along with a lot of other things.

I got a woman I can't stand to be more than two feet away from.

I got confidence in you.

I got confidence in you.

I got it straight from big Bob Brown.

I gotta go.

I gotta hit you with a fish again to get you to work?

I guess Pensacola, Florida is home.

I hate the game. I hate the goddamn game!

I just don't see the romance in it.

I just got a mayday on a Gloucester swordboat, the Andrea Gail.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

I know your mom wouldn't take up with anybody but a good guy.

I know.

I know.

I like you, Billy. I always have.

I look around and all I see are little boys sitting on their asses ...

I lost Ben Pulley. He passed away onboard.

I love to watch you study charts.

I love you now, and I'll love you forever.

I love your dream.

I loved you the moment I saw you.

I miss you so damn much.

I miss you too, buddy.

I never seen you scared.

I once worked a site with a guy like you.

I put so much ground beef and sausage in this, it weighed out at 20 pounds.

I repeat, 44 north, 56.4 west, headed ...

I repeat, Whiskey Yankee Charlie 6 6 8 1 ...

I think he's fishin' with a longer pole, Bugs.

I think she's a hell of a boat.

I thought I'd make a pass.

I thought we were gonna set the market, make a killing.

I want five men on that net. And get the light out there.

I want to come with you, but I don't want to be a fisherman.

I want you up here with me.

I was working menhaden in Annisquam.

I wasn't very good at doing things the way they're supposed to be done.

I will always love you, Christina.

I wish it were night so I could say, Good night, Irene.

I won't let two men drown!

I'd like to hear that.

I'd like to hear you tell him to stick it up his ass.

I'll be your para rescue jumper today.

I'll bring you more fish than you ever dreamed of.

I'll head for land and the Newfies will throw you both in jail!

I'll wait for you in the car, Bobby.

I'll work on it.

I'm all busted up, cap.

I'm doing what I was made to do.

I'm encouraging you to catch fish.

I'm getting a little air to air feeling.

I'm going after him!

I'm gonna shove off now. Big day tomorrow.

I'm gonna tell him to stick his head up his ass.

I'm here, Jeremy, I'm here. I got you. We're here.

I'm in this for the long run.

I'm not gonna leave you here, Jer.

I'm not too big on goodbyes.

I'm not very observant, am I?

I'm not.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Listen.

I'm studying up for the day I get my own boat.

I'm sure he's a good guy.

I'm talking removal from our dungeon in the Crow's Nest ...

I've been on a better slab than this.

I've been sailing 42 years. Never plotted a course.

I've been thinking about it.

I've had it with this.

I've seen them come and go.

Ice machine's had it. It's dead.

If anyone can survive this storm, it's Billy Tyne. I'll give him that.

If I'm gonna catch up to you.

If it were good news, he would've called us.

If they can't get to us, we'll get to them.

In the mid Atlantic, moving rapidly northeast ...

In the water!

In this stuff, harbor's too dangerous.

Irene.

Irene. I knew that.

Irene. Is that so tough?

Is of no consolation.

Is that gonna crap out again?

Is that what it was?

Is there anything better in the world?

Isn't it past your bedtime?

Isn't it too dangerous? It's too hairy.

Isn't that what I'm supposed to say?

It can't be visited.

It gets rough up here, Dougie likes the sun down there.

It tasted like you threw in a shot put.

It was a hell of a fight, though, huh?

It was the old times that killed us.

It won't take much to turn this tropical storm into a hurricane.

It would be ...

It would be a disaster of epic proportions.

It's $2,221. Aren't we a little short?

It's all I can manage now.

It's an increased risk mission, so, you know, it's up to us.

It's been a week of round the clock flights involving ...

It's big.

It's gone.

It's happening.

It's loose. I got it!

It's low, Jonesy. Where are they?

It's no great shakes ...

It's pretty rough stuff out there, that's for sure.

It's sopping wet! She'll be weeping in the wind. No!

It's the antenna.

It's time to get wet.

It's what I do.

Jesus, lady, where's the passion in your life?

Jesus.

Join me, don't join me.

Jonesy, hold on.

Just a little closer.

Just disappointed.

Just one more time. I promise.

Just sleeping ...

Keep it steady, keep it steady.

Keep moving, keep moving.

Keep your hands and feet in the basket.

Keep your light on those swimmers!

Kick your foot out! Kick it! Kick your foot out.

Kids.

King 1 2, departing the area.

King 1 2, this isn't gonna work.

King 1 2, we have visual.

Kiss my ass, you little runt. And you ...!

L'm sorry I got you into this.

Ladies and gentlemen, Dale Murphy out of Cortez, Florida.

Ladies, you're looking fine. How you doing?

Lady's not only pretty, she's smart.

Last time she brought her sister. You should've seen the lamps then.

Last trip I thought you had something to offer.

Lay off. I got feelings too.

Let's come right to 5.

Let's get down below.

Let's get her lashed down. Bugs, put the birds in the water.

Let's get it up!

Let's get out of here, huh?

Let's go fishing.

Let's go, Bob.

Let's go! Come on!

Let's go.

Let's keep moving ahead!

Lightsticks, now!

Linda, with Ben, it was never a question of if, but when.

Little boys like you had to pack it on the pier.

Lock it down!

Look at that baby.

Look at this.

Look out!

Look. Look at this.

Looks like a category 5.

Looks pretty ugly here too.

Lord, did I do that?

Lots of fish.

Lying next to you ...

Ma!

Make a killing.

Make that Hawaiian Tropic.

Man out!

Man overboard!

May the force be with us.

Mayday, mayday, Air Force rescue 2 3 1 calling Coast Guard Tamaroa.

Mayday, mayday, mayday ...

Mayday, mayday.

Mayday!

Mayday! Mayday!

Mayday! Mayday!

Mayday! Mayday!

Mended nets over in Fairhaven.

Mended nets over in Fairhaven.

Michael Moran ...

Michael.

Mind your helm, goddamn it.

Minus $35,000 for bait, tackle, fuel. That comes out to $38,500.

Missed you.

Mistral, this is 2 3 1.

Mistral, this is Coast Guard rescue.

Mm.

Money. It's always about the money.

Murph going over, the shark, a rogue wave ...

Murph, closer! Give them a goddamn banquet.

Murph, come here.

Murph!

Murph!

Murph.

Murphy keep his site?

Murphy keep his site?

My ex lives there. Jodi.

My girl is none of your business.

My kind of numbers.

Need immediate assistance.

Never mind unlucky. We're just looking for some fish.

Next time I fish the Grand Banks, they won't be so grand.

Next time I should break a leg.

Next time, track Linda. She'll take you where the fish are.

Nine, first set. Twelve ... No, make that a baker's dozen, second.

No antenna, no radio. We're back in the 19th century.

No good?

No goodbye.

No one ever said goodbye to me before.

No problem.

No, I remember your ass.

No, no, no, no. No!

No!

No!

No!

No.

No.

No.

Not anymore.

Not enough.

Not lately.

Not with a pool cue, or any other pointed instrument.

Nothing about boats.

Nothing. Just you.

Now they're going back up again.

Now, Jeremy, now! Go! Bail out!

Number 1 is out!

OD, boatswain on the bridge.

Of the surprise I have in store for you.

Oh, boy, oh, boy. Look at that shiner.

Oh, fuck.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh!

Oh.

Okay, deploying the basket.

Okay, Jer, too risky to go lower. You gotta jump from here.

Okay, now, Jeremy, swim!

Okay, okay. What's your position?

Okay, sure, I'll help him out. What a screw up!

Okay, we're getting a reading of winds over 140 knots sustained.

On the deep blue, goddamn sea ...

One of our three movies?

One of them's 6, the other one's 8.

One of these days your mom's gonna find you a new dad.

One, two, three!

Only love.

Or he thinks he'll score better with another captain.

Or their minds.

Or we say the hell with it.

Our position is ...

Over here!

Over.

Pack it in there good. We got more coming down.

Pack your shit and get out.

Pam.

Past Niles Pond, where I skated as a kid.

Past Niles Pond, where I skated as a kid.

Past Rocky Neck, Ten Pound Island ...

Past Rocky Neck, Ten Pound Island ...

Pay dirt? What are you talking about? Where the hell is that?

People, slight change of plans!

Pick it up! Move!

Poor old guy.

Pull him in, Murph.

Pull him in.

Pull up the gear.

Put it on now!

Put me alongside them.

Put some hair around that hole, I bet you could hit it.

Put the stern line on quick.

Put them closer!

Put these babies on ice, and we're out of here!

Put your foot out.

Reach and grab it with everything you got. Everything you've got!

Refuel in hell? That's pretty sporty.

Release the net now!

Remember I'll always love you, Christina.

Remember, this is my boat!

Rescue 2 3 1, flight deck is green.

Residents, stay inside, pack sandbags against door frames.

Right in our path.

Right now, let's go!

Robert Shatford ...

Sandy!

Sandy!

Sandy!

Second survivor on deck.

See you onboard.

See you, Darryl.

See, you got what you wanted.

Seeing as I got two in front of me, I don't think so.

Set a line at 0 1 0.

Severe weather.

Shake, you guys.

Shake!

Shatford.

She'll start feeding off both the Canadian cold front ...

She's not gonna let us out.

Shit!

Shit.

Shoot some pool?

Shut up, asshole!

Sign my ledger.

Sign my ledger.

Skip ...

Skip, we just got back in.

Skip, we made the right call.

Skipper don't get scared.

Skipper say anything about us coming up short?

Sleep well.

Slim to none. Where are you?

So get ready.

So I guess you're the big hero here.

So I know he's gotta be okay.

So what do you think?

So what do you think?

So what do you think?

So what's the word?

So why are you so happy?

So you want to have a drink?

Sorry to hear that.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Steamed here and there and all about.

Stick him. Stick it in his head! Good!

Stinks in here, doesn't it?

Stop there. Hold your hover.

Sullivan!

Sully was the first one to go in.

Sully?

Sully.

Tail of the Banks. Kicking up something wicked here.

Take a ride to Digby with Irene.

Take it easy. It was an accident.

Take me with you.

Take over.

Take the goddamn wheel! That's an order!

Take the wheel!

Talk to me, Billy, over.

Tallyho, there they are.

Tell Bernie I need two graphics: Bermuda and Sable Island.

Tell him, Alfred Pierre.

Tell me last night was worth it.

Tell them to hold on. I'll turn the boat.

Tetanus.

Textbook.

Thank you. Here's to crime.

Thanks, Ethel.

Thanks, Q.

Thanks, Q.

Thanks.

That big smile.

That comes to $2,221.

That I secretly bought for us at Penney's.

That old man pickled himself to death drinking 7& 7s chasing Narragansetts.

That was nothing!

That'll come later.

That's a nice name. Why don't you use it?

That's a record low for you, isn't it?

That's crap. What's this you're doing now?

That's how we feel. We want to go home.

That's real big of you, Murph.

That's right.

That's something I don't joke about.

That's what begets their courage.

That's where the fish are.

The activity down near Bermuda is deepening rapidly.

The boys been talking?

The Cecile.

The day I laid eyes on you, I said, She's gonna be a good one.

The day we go home.

The fish will gather again for the Andrea Gail ...

The Flemish Cap is nearly off the charts.

The Flemish Cap?

The Flemish Cap.

The Flemish Cap.

The fog's just lifting.

The fog's just lifting.

The Grand Banks.

The guys are busy, you're in charge.

The guys are busy, you're in charge.

The ice machine's gone.

The job ain't hard enough without this knucklehead.

The lady knows her coordinates. Yeah, I'm steaming full bore.

The lighthouse keeper's kid on Thatcher Island.

The most important thing is that you and Mommy are happy.

The news is the rescue helicopter had to ditch.

The only fish the Andrea Gail has hooked in three days.

The only place we can revisit them ...

The perfect storm.

The search for the Andrea Gail out of Gloucester ...

The storm of the century.

The sun hits you.

The sun hits you.

The thing is, I'm happy. I'm happy I'm fit to do this.

The Weather Service is jerking off again.

The welfare office?

Then again, I love to fish.

Then for God's sake, don't go.

Then the birds show up.

Then the birds show up.

Then you can stay home and collect disability.

There it is. You're being waved in.

There she is! Thank God.

There you go.

There you go. Flaunting your work ethic.

There! He's okay.

There's another man out there! There's another man!
