- Lilli Hargrave: There's a baby growing inside me.
- Richard Lestrange: How do you know?
- Lilli Hargrave: [smiles] A woman knows these kinds of things, that's how.
- Richard Lestrange: [excited] Lilli!
- Lilli Hargrave: I won't let it be born in civilization. I want it to be born right here. Where there's no evil, and no lies, and no guns.
- Richard Lestrange: You're right. We'll stay here. Just the three of us. I love you, Lilli.
- [Lilli smiles happily and breezily at him]
- Sylvia Hilliard: It's no time to be thinking about Lilli!
- Richard Lestrange: I told her I'd never hurt her.
- Sylvia Hilliard: Don't feel sorry for her, Richard. She's had you all to herself. But she doesn't own you. You're not married!
- Richard Lestrange: We are married!
- Sylvia Hilliard: But not really. A lot of made up words in the middle of the jungle doesn't count!
- Richard Lestrange: It does to me.
- Sylvia Hilliard: Why don't you just... Follow your heart.
- Richard Lestrange: Lilli is my heart.
- [Sylvia glares at Richard and slaps him]
- Richard Lestrange: With this ring, I thee wed, Lilli.
- Lilli Hargrave: With this ring, I thee wed, Richard.
- [They both exchange wedding rings]
- Lilli Hargrave: And now were...
- Richard Lestrange: One. Forever.
- [They kiss passionately]
- Lilli Hargrave: Mother died six years ago.
- Capt. Jacob Hilliard: How do you follow the years?
- Richard Lestrange: She taught us. We count the moons, we know that twelve full moon are one year.
- Lilli Hargrave: We have Christmas and Thanksgiving, and Easter, although we're not exactly sure we celebrate them on the right days.
- Capt. Jacob Hilliard: It's utterly amazing, the two of you all these years in this remote, Godforsaken place.
- Lilli Hargrave: Not Godforsaken, Captain Hilliard. Not Godforsaken at all.
- Sarah Hargrave: I may be young, captain, but I have spent three years in a climate of fearsome heat, with insects as big as rats and rats as big as cats! I can certainly deal with deck and down with fever!
- Lilli Hargrave: I'm gonna keep this forever.
- Richard Lestrange: What's that?
- Lilli Hargrave: My prize. The white bead. I think... It looks nice in my hair. Do you?
- Richard Lestrange: I don't care what you do with it, or how you wear it. You can hang it from you nose for all I care.
- Lilli Hargrave: You lied to me.
- Richard Lestrange: When did I lie to you?
- Lilli Hargrave: You promised you'd never hurt me.
- Richard Lestrange: [concerned] And when did I hurt you?
- Lilli Hargrave: Every time you stare at her, you hurt me.
- Richard Lestrange: Well, I'm sorry. It's just that she's so different.
- Lilli Hargrave: I always weather a storm well. I get that from Mother.
- Richard Lestrange: Yes, you do. Captain Hilliard says he wants to set sail at dawn.
- Lilli Hargrave: [sadly] I guess that means that Captain Hilliard's daughter wants to set sail at dawn.
- Richard Lestrange: I don't care what she wants. I don't care about her at all. I know that now, Lilli. Do you understand? You're the most important thing to me in the whole world.
- Lilli Hargrave: Well you can set sail at dawn... but we're not going.
- Sarah Hargrave: [to Richard and Lilli] Someday soon after the ship comes, you'll find yourself seated at a well-appointed table in San Francisco, and you'll be expected to show proper table manners.
- Capt. Jacob Hilliard: We appreciate your hospitality and hope you will offer us the opportunity to repay you.
- Richard Lestrange: You can. You can take us with you back to civilization...
- Sylvia Hilliard: I should think it must be ever so boring here.
- Richard Lestrange: What is the meaning of boring.
- Sylvia Hilliard: Well boring's when... you have nothing whatever to do. So you're bored, like you must be here.
- Richard Lestrange: [suggestively] No. We're never bored!
- [Richard and Lilli grin at each other]
- Sarah Hargrave: This is my special place. It's quiet here, and I can see the house. Hollow out this ground, about so deep, and line it with thatch and moss. And fill it in, and smooth it over with earth. I'll write out a prayer for you to say. We'll carve out a marker, and it will say, "Here lies Sarah Hargrave. Wife of William. Mother of Lillian". And I know I'm not your real mother, Richard, but I'd like to have it said "Mother of Richard".

- scrolling text: 1897 - Fifteen years before our story begins, two children were shipwrecked on an uncharted island. The little boy and girl grew up alone in this lost paradise. As man and woman, they discovered a pure and natural love. In time, a child was born. But in a tragic accident, they were driven out to sea away from their island. Drifting for days, they believed that their lives and the life of their baby were at an end. Then a passing vessel drew near...
- Richard Lestrange: You remember when I wanted to go to the north side of the island, just because I couldn't.
- Lilli Hargrave: [glares at him] Yes I do. And I also remember what almost happened to you when you did go!
- [the captain sees Richard and Lilli approach]
- Capt. Jacob Hilliard: Keep them in your sights. They may not be civilized.
- Richard Lestrange: Civilized. C-I-V-I-L-I-Z-E-D.
- Lilli Hargrave: Remember what Mother said about a good, firm handshake.
- Richard Lestrange: My name is Richard. We've been waiting for you for a long time.
- Lilli Hargrave: I'm Lilli, and I'm ready for you to take us back to civilization.
- Capt. Jacob Hilliard: [confused] I'm Captain Jacob Hilliard, master of the Tradewind, and... Is this your land?
- Richard Lestrange: Yes, my house is there.
- Capt. Jacob Hilliard: Well, we're in need of fresh water. Our casks are fouled.
- [slowly]
- Capt. Jacob Hilliard: Will you grant us permission to come ashore?
- Richard Lestrange: [slowly] Yes, you are welcome here.
- Young Richard: Why do people get married?
- Sarah Hargrave: It was God's commandment that when a man and woman love each other, they take vows--vows are like promises. They make promises to each other in the eyes of God for the whole world to witness. And that's called the marriage ceremony.
- Richard Lestrange: The first time, he almost got me. But I was too fast for him. This time, I was lying in wait, so I dive in! And I can see down his mouth, there's about five hundred teeth with stripy little fish all around his gills, and he comes at me! He misses me, stupid sea slug!
- Lilli Hargrave: Seems silly to me.
- Richard Lestrange: Silly? It's not silly, it's dangerous.
- Lilli Hargrave: Exactly, that's why it's silly. I don't understand why you have to do it.
- Richard Lestrange: I like the way it makes me feel.
- Lilli Hargrave: What do you mean?
- Richard Lestrange: [points to his stomach] Inside here. It feels all alive, when I know I'm the master of the reef!
- Lilli Hargrave: [mockingly] The master of the reef. The master of the reef!
- Richard Lestrange: [peevish] Hey, don't you ever make fun of me!
- Lilli Hargrave: [not convincing] I'm sorry.
