On the Ice

Aivaaq:
I got some news.

Qalli:
What's up? You all right?

Aivaaq:
Nothing I can't handle. It's Uvlu.

Qalli:
What? She finally dump you?

Aivaaq:
No. She ain't gonna dump me, man. She might be ah...

Qalli:
Fat? Ain't that how you like them chicks, dude?

Aivaaq:
No, I don't like them fat! She might be pregnant.

Aivaaq:
You ain't gotta worry about a thing. I'll provide. You gotta learn how to cut a seal though. I'm gonna be a hunter. Ain't that right, Qalli?

Uvlu:
If you don't graduate and get a job, then how's the big, bad hunter gonna buy gas and bullets?

Aivaaq:
I'm old school. [shoots a mock arrow]

Uvlu:
Well, I'm new school. I'm not changing no fox-skin diapers so your ass is getting a job.

Aaka:
My arthritis is acting up. Hand me my medicine over there.

Qalli:
Now don't take too much.

Aaka:
Ah, you're not the doctor.

Police Officer:
I'm disappointed in you two. You want to end up like your father?

Aivaaq:
No.

Police Officer:
Well, that's the path you're on with this sh*t. I watched him drink himself to death before he was 30. I sure as hell don't want to watch his son go down the same road. You understand? And you... I thought you knew better. You're gonna disappoint a lot of people if you get caught up in this. [reporting to the police]

Sigvaun:
Qalli! You have to help him. You can't let him get caught. He loves you so much. [about Aivaaq]

Mom:
Our son is going to college in four months. You're search and rescue. You did your search. It's over.

Egasak:
If it was our son dead, you wouldn't say that.

Aivaaq:
What, you think with James gone, you're just gonna hook up with Michelle like you always wanted to? Like, nothing happened? Holy sh*t. You did, huh? That's why you followed her down the hall the other night. I guess I did you a f***ing favor.

Michelle:
It's like, I'm his widow. Everyone comes up to me and hugs me and says all this sh*t. [speaking about James' death]

Qalli:
You ever give him anything, sell to him, I'm gonna turn your ass in.

Drug Dealer:
That's a f***ed up thing to say. [menacingly]

Qalli:
I ain't scared.

Egasak:
Oh son... Take the battery from the boat... it should be heavy enough. Tie it to him real good. I can't tell you what kind of person to be. It's your decision. [after revealing he found James' body]

Aivaaq:
I'm bringing him back.

Qalli:
No, you didn't kill him. I did.

Aivaaq:
You said it yourself. I got high. I started the fight. I pulled my knife. He's not dead because of you, it's because of me. If you go down for this, I'm finished.

Qalli:
I, I'm not gonna let you get away with it. I'm gonna tell!

Aivaaq:
Who do you think they're gonna listen to this time? Even now your Dad's still gonna believe me.

Aivaaq:
All this time you're going around telling lies, making sh*t up. I thought you were doing it to protect me. You're not such a f***ing saint.

Qalli:
I'm not.

Aivaaq:
You know you're gonna be like my son's uncle, right? Give him all that wisdom you got in your head. You know, keep him on the level. I gotta make sure he's not too straight though. I gotta have a little crazy skimo running around.

Qalli:
What makes you think it's gonna be a boy?

Aivaaq:
Inuk, please. The ammunition I'm packing, she probably got one of each up in there.

Egasak:
Aivaaq, how're you doing?

Aivaaq:
I'm good. How're you doing?

Egasak:
Good. Are you staying for dinner?

Aivaaq:
Every chance I get.

Qalli:
Mom home?

Egasak:
Not yet. Darlene had something.

Qalli:
What's for dinner?

Egasak:
All you think about your stomach. I'm cooking tonight. We're having nikipiaq. Real food. You still wanna stay? [to Aivaaq]

Michelle:
You're gonna be waiting a long time.

Qalli:
What?

Michelle:
The sun doesn't set 'til August.

Qalli:
Thanks for the info. I would have been out here all night if it wasn't for you. [joking as they watch the unsetting sun]
