Louise Banks [Amy Adams]: "In 1770, Captain James Cook's ship ran
aground off the coast of Australia. He led a party into the country and
they met the aboriginal people. One of the sailors pointed at the
animals that hop around and put their babies in their pouch and he asked
what they were. The aborigines said 'kangaroo.' It wan't till later that
they learned that 'kangaroo' means 'I don't understand.' It's not true,
but it proves my point.'"
