I Looked Around And We Were About A Mile-and-a-half From Land, And I Thought, 'ok, I'm Going To Drown Now.' And Then I Started To Flail Out And Panic. I Gradually Calmed Down And I Got Home. But The Reality Was That In That Moment I Was Panicking And I Feel Like That To Me Was The Clue About Ripley, That Ripley Constantly Finds Himself Out Of His Depth In The Film And Then Reacts Very, Very Badly.

I Looked Around And We Were About A Mile-and-a-half From Land, And I Thought, 'ok, I'm Going To Drown Now.' And Then I Started To Flail Out And Panic. I Gradually Calmed Down And I Got Home.
