ETIENNE: It’s arranged. Tomorrow morning. Eight hundred baht.

RICHARD: Nice work.

ETIENNE: There is one problem. He will not take us to the island. It’s in the National Park and it is forbidden to go there.

FRANCOISE: We swim.

RICHARD: Swim?

ETIENNE: We leave our rucksacks on this island and then we swim.

FRANCOISE: You can swim?

RICHARD: Yes, of course I can swim. How far do you think it is?
