Drowning Victim Quotes in The Guardian (2006)

Jake Fischer: [voice-over] The Coast Guard conducted the largest search and rescue missions for a single man in its history, but the body of Senior Chief Ben Randall was never found. What makes a legend? Is it what someone did while they were alive? Or how they're remembered after they're gone?

Drowning Victim: Where is he?

Drowning Victim: No, he was there! He was with me the whole time! He said he would hold on till help arrived. He never let go!

Jake Fischer: [voice-over] There is a legend of a man who lives beneath the sea. He is a fisher of men, a last hope for all those who've been left behind. He is know as the Guardian.
