- Ryan McBride: Oh, Mitch! Ah, these are the best. Let's do this!
- Mitch Buchannon: Fortunes? Ah, come on, you don't believe in that stuff, do ya?
- Ryan McBride: I don't believe in it, but it's fun.
- Mitch Buchannon: No, no, the whole thing's phony.
- Ryan McBride: No, listen. It's your day off, you should have some fun.
- Mitch Buchannon: No, no, I don't wanna know my fortune. I just wanna have my cappuccino.
- Ryan McBride: Okay.
- [Takes Mitch's cup and drops it in a trash can]
- Mitch Buchannon: My cappuccino is in the trash can.
- Blonde Actress Needing Reading: Is this where I come to get my fortune read?
- Mitch Buchannon: Uh, no no no. You don't understand, we're not uh...
- Ryan McBride: Mitch.
- Blonde Actress Needing Reading: Please, you have to help me. It's important.
- Ryan McBride: You're an actress.
- Mitch Buchannon: Ryan!
- Blonde Actress Needing Reading: No no, don't stop her, it's true. I am an actress. And I'm up for this really big part in Fish Monster 3.
- Ryan McBride: Yeah, and you recently lost a part that was equally important to you.
- Blonde Actress Needing Reading: Yes. I lost it to Bitsy May.
- Ryan McBride: Who was sleeping with the producer.
- Blonde Actress Needing Reading: Yes. How can you be so accurate?
- [Ryan looks up at Mitch, dumbfounded]
- Blonde Actress Needing Reading: Do you think I'll get the part?
- [pause]
- Blonde Actress Needing Reading: Do you see Fish Monster in my future?
- Ryan McBride: [considering] Yeah.
- Blonde Actress Needing Reading: Thank you.
- [hands Ryan a twenty]
- Blonde Actress Needing Reading: Thank you so much.
- [to Mitch]
- Blonde Actress Needing Reading: Thank you.
- Indian Guide Wahote: You will see your own future through there. Through the Vortex. If you have the courage. The courage is not easily found except within the heart.
- [holds open a curtain]
- Ryan McBride: We, we have courage.
- Mitch Buchannon: No, we don't have the courage.
- Ryan McBride: Yes we do have courage.
- Mitch Buchannon: No, we don't have the courage.
- Ryan McBride: We have courage.
- Mitch Buchannon: We don't.
- Ryan McBride: Okay. Go with me on this. Say I wanna grow something in an area that won't cultivate because of the soil. What do I do?
- Mitch Buchannon: You, um, change the soil.
- Ryan McBride: Right. Well say in changing the soil, I don't check out everything that lives in the soil, before I irradiate it.
- Mitch Buchannon: Then, you could mutate something you didn't count on. What are you saying here, we're fighting some sort of insect? Something that mutated from radiation?
- Ryan McBride: That's exactly what I'm sayin'. That thing looked like a giant slug! And, and slugs feed on anything within their domain.
- Mitch Buchannon: Well, that would explain the missing crew member.
