Stellan Skarsgård: Joe Heiser
Quotes
-
Will : We're going to need as much waterline as we can get.
Joe : I've factored in the average weather in that part of Australia over the last 20 years. We've got to play the percentages.
Will : You mean compromise?
Joe : Yeah, of course. You always get to a point where you have to stop torturing yourself and play the percentages. You're afraid of committing yourself, you have the desire for perfection.
Will : What's wrong with perfection?
Joe : Nothing, if you're God, and you're prepared to wait 500 million years for it to evole. But we have to start building this boat next week.

Joe : Well, don't worry about it. I mean, what could happen? Of course, my design could have a few flaws. And after a few weeks, Will and I discover we hate each other. Abigail proves to be the flake of the century; she can't raise a dime. A giant sandstorm comes along, knocks this place over, we go broke, the IRS throws us in jail. The State Department wants to throw me out of the country. But I fool them: in jail, I catch pneumonia and die.

Joe : The waves are so big, and the wind is so strong, and the tide ah dah dah dai, ah dah dah dai!
