- Commander Jack Lucas: Look, I'm sorry, we have to call the search off.
- Dr. Dianne Bates: But this is a ten-year-old boy we're talking about. You can't just abandon him.
- Commander Jack Lucas: Doctor, it's dark outside. On top of that, there's a tropical storm about to hit this area like an express train.
- Dr. Dianne Bates: That's all the more reason to keep searching.
- Commander Jack Lucas: I will not risk other lives in these conditions.
- Dr. Dianne Bates: Fine. Then I'll take a boat and go and look for him myself.
- Commander Jack Lucas: You do that and I'll throw you in the brig for your own protection. Look, I promise when it's safe, we'll widen the search. But, for all we know, the boy may have been found or been picked up somewhere.
- Dr. Dianne Bates: I wonder, I wonder what you would do if that were your own child out there.
- Commander Jack Lucas: I would do exactly the same thing, Doctor, because I have no choice.
- Dr. Dianne Bates: Yep. I believe you would.
- Neri: You eat bad berries. Drink, or you go away forever.
- Brett Bates: You don't mean... die?
- [Neri nods; Brett drinks from cup]
- Neri: Now you sleep. I must go be wet.
- Brett Bates: Huh?
- Neri: If I am away from water long, I feel bad. Sick. I be back soon.
- Brett Bates: Who are you? What's your name?
- Neri: Neri.
