The Big Blue Script

[Pezman]

Maybe everyone has already found this, but I was excited to learn that the script can be found here:

Now I can memorize all the best lines (somehow I feel as if I have tied for first place in the asshole contest!).

BB Script....

....Okay, I'll ask the Dumb Question....where do I find the Movie? From what I've read of the script, it's a doozie!
Thanks Pez

Looks like I'm the other half of that tie.

Ocean, Look on eBay. "The Big Blue" is always going for 7-8 bucks on DVD.

Or better yet, I'll save you the trouble. Here's the best line in the movie .

ENZO is hungover and asleep in the fore peak, curled up on a coil of line, snoring away. He wears his tuxedo jacket over a skimpy bathing suit.


ROBERTO
Enzo, wake up!

ENZO
(irritated)
I'm meditating, can't you see?
Jacques does two hours of yoga
before going down. I can take a
five minute nap, can't I?

No way, the bit where they waltz at 200m

There are SOOO many great lines.


Joann- "He's going to dive under the ice with out equipment. He's not a prisoner or anything is he?"

Dr.- " Science is a cruel mistress my dear."


I also like the line about who one the A$$hole contest.

...Big Blue....

...This has the ear-marks of a classic.
I'm loving these one-liners....I'll remember that scene next time the kids wake me... and adapt it slightly for my use...."Uh....mom's meditating, girls..."
Thanks for letting me know where to find it, unirdna.

I like the other lines in Peru

Johana - I'll have to talk to the driver

Dr - In spring when he melts

and later

Johana - But... how is he going to breath?

Dr - He isn't going to breath

Though what is interesting is how the script differs from the film. Though I haven't read the whole script (just yet anyway).

From a quick glance, in the film when Enzo pulls up to rescue the diver at the start of the film, he starts
"In my village, we have a saying",

but they couldn't remember what the saying is, where as in the script it continues to say

"when the wind blows, the flags of
all nations flap in the same direction".

Anyone spot any more?

Just spotted another one after he has resuced the diver and they are about to drive away, in the film he doesn't say the last sentance.
