↓ Transcript
Panel 1 [Barzillai pulling back, bringing his hands to Adelaide’s face and meeting her eyes]
BARZILLAI:
I’m glad you’re here with me, I truly am.
Panel 2 [Closer shot of Barzillai as he looks slightly troubled]
BARZILLAI:
But I need you to know…there are…parts of myself that I leave on this ship before I come back ashore.
ADELAIDE:
I can say the same, Barzillai; we all bury secrets where no one else knows to look.
Panel 3 [Panel showing a shot of the ship’s rigging outside, Barzillai’s dialogue coming as a voiceover.]
BARZILLAI:
I don’t doubt the resiliency you’ve had to have, Addy. I don’t doubt that you’ve had your own experiences that have hardened you while I was gone.
Panel 4 [Panel showing men working on the deck, Barzillai’s voice still coming off screen]
BARZILLAI:
You called these ships floating cities. There’s a truth to that.
Panel 5 [Panel of harpoons being sharpened on a grinding wheel. Barzillai’s voice over continues.]
BARZILLAI:
And for order to be maintained over so many years at sea, one has to be firm in his command. In his discipline.
Panel 6 [Pulled back shot through the doorway of the cabin, Barzillai taking Adelaide’s hand and looking down pensively]
BARZILLAI:
I only hope that your time in this kingdom won’t cause you to think less of me.
BARZILLAI:
I’m glad you’re here with me, I truly am.
