【选段台词】
Sean: There's Poseidon's Trident, right where it's supposed to be.
Hank: We need the cliff. This is just shoreline.
Sean: The Nautilus is supposed to be inside of a cave right here.
Hank: Maybe the map is wrong.
Sean: Let me see it.
Hank: Sean, we are in the right place.
Sean: Well, then where's the cave? Where's the Nautilus?
Hank: Down there. The sea level's risen over 100 feet in the last 24 hours.
Sean: I can't believe this is happening. We're too late. It's over.
Hank: No, it's not. It's okay. It's okay. We just gotta think. We just gotta think of a way to get... I got it.
Sean: What?
Hank: Scuba tanks.
Sean: Are we listing things that we don't have? Okay, a jet pack, a girlfriend, calligraphy paper.
Hank: No, no, listen to me. We just "Calligraphy paper"?
Sean: It popped into my head.
Hank: We have a couple of dry bags, right?
Sean: Yeah.
Hank: Okay, so we take what we salvaged from the beach, and we build makeshift scuba tanks. No short breaths no wasted movements. Make sure you equalize ear pressure as you go down.
Sean: You know if we die down there... Mom's gonna kill us.
Hank: Then let's do this.
Kailani: Papa? Papa.
Gabato: What are you doing here? You're supposed to be back at the Nautilus. I'll meet you back there.
Kailani: Papa, stop. Stop. Papa, stop!
Gabato: Baby, this is our one chance. Our one chance to send you to college. To give you a different life, a better life.
Kailani: Papa. We'll have all the wealth we'll ever need... just as long as we're together. Let's go home.
Gabato: All right. All right. Okay.
Sean's Grandpa: Double-time, Gabby.
Hank: Okay, it's only 100 feet down, and we've got two hits of air with this.
Sean: Right.
Hank: Are you ready?
Sean: Am I ready? Are you ready?
Hank: Oh, I'm totally ready.
Sean: Well, I'm totally ready.
Hank: Well, I'm probably more ready than you.
Sean: No, there's no way. I'm, like, twice as ready as you are. We're procrastinating out of fear, aren't we?
Hank: Oh, absolutely.
Sean: Yeah.
