Dialogue

Jack Merridew: You better start to live with yourself, because we ain't gonna get rescued.

Piggy: What are you talking about?

Jack Merridew: Just being logical. A plane goes down in the middle of the ocean, there's no wreckage; who's gonna find us?

Piggy: Why don't you just shut up?

Jack Merridew: Are you telling me to shut up?

Piggy: Well, what we need here is positive people, not people trying to scare people!

Jack Merridew: Well what we don't need around here is you, shitbrain!

Sam, Eric: His name's not shitbrain! It's Piggy!

Jack Merridew: Yeah Piggy!

Ralph: Shut up! Everybody just shut up!
