Quotes
-
Jesse : I'm not a whaler.
Max : So what?
Jesse : Well, I'm sort of the opposite.
Max : You're a whale?
Jesse : No, but I'm trying to protect them. What he's doing is wrong and you know it.
Max : Who?
Jesse : Your dad.
Max : My dad's a salmon boat captain.
[Jesse puzzles Max]
Max : Why do you care anyway?
Jesse : If one of your friends was in trouble, wouldn't you try to help them?
Max : If I could.
Jesse : My friends are whales.

Drew : [watching Jesse play his harmonica] What are you doing?
Jesse : Making a call.
[Jesse uses the keyboard to replicate the notes he played on the harmonica]
Jesse : Willy likes the sound of my harmonica playing. When he hears it, he knows it's me.
Drew : Oh, so you think your gonna play that sound on the hydrophone.
Jesse : [playing the keyboard] Uh huh.
Drew : And he's just gonna come running?
Jesse : [nods] Uh huh.
Drew : From miles away?
Jesse : Yeah.
Drew : Okay.
-
Jesse : Those guys have already left. They're going after the whole pod tonight! Willy, Nicky, Nicky's baby... Can I ask you a question?
Randolph : Ten years in jail.
Jesse : What?
Randolph : The penalty for "borrowing" a boat that doesn't belong to you. It's called piracy. Ten years in jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect 200 dollars.
Jesse : You're right. It was a bad idea.
Randolph : [stops walking] Let's do it.
-
Jesse : Thanks for all you've done.
Captain Drake : Ah, it was nothing.
Randolph : [sarcastically] No kidding
-
Drew : It's not what I would have done.
Randolph : What do you mean?
Drew : I mean... Some guy tries to kill me, I wouldn't have save his life. I would've bit his butt.
Jesse : Well, maybe he's smarter than we are.
Randolph : Or more human.
Jesse : [watching Willy and Nicky swim off] Willy's gonna make a good father. Don't you think?
Randolph : When the time comes.
-
Jesse : Listen. They're close. It's quite a sound isn't it?
Max : Yeah.
Jesse : Do you know an orca is mostly water?
Max : Sure.
Jesse : But did you know that when he sings, you can feel the beat of his song. In time with the waves.
Max : Why do they do that?
Jesse : I say it's because they're good musicians, but a friend of mine thinks differently. He says the whole Earth is breathing. And that their song is the Earth breathing.

[Jesse and Max laugh at Drew's black eye from the camcorder as payback for goving the former a pair of black eyes]
Jesse : I like it, Drew. It brings out your eyes. Well, one of them, at least.
-
Jesse : [about Drake] That guy's a jerk.
Randolph : You're right. He's a jerk.
Drew : You just notice this?
Jesse : I thought you're gonna tell me he's doing his job.
Drew : Well he is just doing his job.
Jesse : The whalers are just doing their jobs. We're just gonna follow orders and do nothing to stop them. It's not a problem.
Drew : Keep this up, you're gonna get me fired.
-
Drew : What you say your name was?
Jesse : Jesse.
Drew : Your name's not Willy?
Jesse : Willy's a whale.
[Randolph laughs and reaches his arm out. Drew hands Randolph a pizza slice]
Jesse : Randolph, tell her who I am.
Randolph : I've never seen this kid before in my life.
[Randolph takes a bite of his slice]
Randolph : Good pizza.
Drew : [eating pizza] You didn't tell me he's so young.
Randolph : He's not so young.
[Drew sarcastically leaves]
Jesse : Wait a minute. Listen, I'll do anything. I'm just here to learn. I'll do whatever you tell me.
[Randolph chuckles]
Drew : Oh we're gonna get along just fine then. What you say your name was?
Jesse : Jesse.
Drew : Okay, Jesse. Help me get this gear down below.
Jesse : Alright.
-
Jesse : You have to call this in.
Captain Drake : Kid, there's nothing to call in.
Jesse : You saw it yourself. Willy went after that boat. He was defending himself. They attacked him.
[Botany Bay leaves]
Captain Drake : They know that for a fact.
Jesse : It's obvious. If you'd open your eyes..Sir.
Captain Drake : Botany Bay checks out. It's a registered salmon boat. It's Captain, John Wesley, is licensed and his record his clean.
Jesse : You're right. If they were whalers, they'd have a big neon sign saying, "Arrest me, I kill whales". Hello?
-
Max : [thinking Jesse's looking at him] What?
Jesse : I've never seen him take anybody like that before. Except once.
Max : [noticing Jesse is looking at Willy] I thought maybe he was like that with everyone.
Jesse : Nah. He's only like that with family.
Max : Well, I'm not his family.
Jesse : Tell him that.
