The Big Blue Page #3

..of 310 feet.

A one-day hero.

(presenter) Mr. President, if you please...

A new world record. That's great.

It gives me something to beat tomorrow.

- Have you ever been to Tahiti?

- No.

I'll take you there. We'll live in the sun.

You'll cook fresh fish...

..and we'll make love under the coconut trees.

Hey, wait. How about you do the cooking?

And... uh... you forgot the hula.

Excuse me.

He looks strange, doesn't he?

Like a baby who just learned to walk.

- Have you known him long?

- For ever.

We used to live on the same island in Greece,

when we were kids.

- What was he like when he was little?

- Little.

Very little.

That is, compared to me.

- I get it, Enzo. You were a superior child.

- Exactly.

What is it, Johana?

You are so crazy about him,

you don't see the truth?

Don't think of Jacques as a human being.

He is from another world.

And just what world are you from, Enzo?

Italia!

OK.

(whispers) Italia.

And now, my friends,...

..you are all invited for a drink

around the swim pool.

Today, at lunch, you asked me

if I had any questions.

Ah! You finally want to know about women!

- Are they what's most important?

- No.

It depends.

Sometime they are.

What exactly do you want to know?

Everything.

Everything about what?

About everything.

Mamma mia!

(plays piano)

So, between Mamma, Roberto and Alfredo,...

..we yell and scream all day long.

Except with Angelica. She just cries.

And then, finally, we all end up kissing.

Can you explain that to me?

(hits keys) Huh?

Because that's what love is all about.

It's a pain in the ass,...

..but it keeps us together.

A large...

..and beautiful...

(hits high note)

..family.

(Enzo plays wistful tune)

Enzo...

Yeah?

We've gotta quit this competition.

Why?

Cos... if we don't,...

..I'm gonna beat you.

(Enzo plays upbeat tune)

(laughs) Do you hear that?

(crunches ice)

- What?

- He looks me in the eye...

..like some f***ing goldfish...

..and says... ''I'm gonna beat you.''

(Jacques and Johana giggle drunkenly)

That's what you guys are here for.

Ha! Listen to her!

That's what he's here for! (laughs)

He's here to lose! That's what he's here for.

First of all, I am unbeatable.

Second...

- How old are you?

- Two years younger than you.

As I said,...

..second of all, you're too skinny.

You've got tiny lungs. I still don't understand

how you can dive without getting sick.

The size of the lungs

has nothing to do with it.

The size of the lungs

has nothing to do with it.

How long can you hold your breath?

Longer than you.

Ah... We'll see.

- Come stay, Enzo!

- Figlio mio! Sono la madre!

Hey! Take it easy! Jesus!

What, are you nuts?

(door slams)

Come on, let me help you with this.

- Who won?

- What? The A**hole Award?

Let me tell you, it was a tie.

Acting like a pair of two-year-olds.

You could've died in that pool.

(groans)

Stop moving. You're rocking the boat.

Luckily, I was there to save you.

My wallet.

- It's here.

- No, no. I wanna show you.

Give it to me.

Sit down.

That's my family.

What kind of man...

..has such a family?

(Jacques sobs)

It's OK.

It's all right.

(Jacques wails)

(sighs)

- Enzo!

- Si!

Avanti, avanti.

All the medics are looking for you, Enzo.

I am meditating! Can't you see?

Jacques does two hours of yoga

before going down!

I can have a five-minute nap!

Mr. Molinari, I am sorry,...

..but you cannot dive

in this state of exhaustion.

What do you know about the sea? Nothing!

So you just take your tubes

and your tin cans away.

The sea is mine.

I know when she is ready for me

and when she isn't.

And today she is ready.

Capisci?

You dive at your own risk.

Ah! Bravo.

(controlled panting)

One minute!

Three!

Two!

One!

Your pants are too big for me.

Where are they?

(giggles)

Thank you.

- Where is everybody?

- They're gone.

(Jacques) Something's wrong.

You can't do that.

What's the matter?

I don't understand.

I've tried for two days. They won't eat.

They won't perform.

Since we got a new one.

(dolphin whistles)

It's finished for today.

She's a new one.

How can you tell it's a female?

(dolphin clicks)

It's the way she moves.

(whistles)

Hey!

Jacques!

(screams)

Help!

Porca miseria.

Jacques, help me!

(Johana giggles)

Really...

(whistling and clicking)

(crowd) Enzo! Enzo! Enzo!

(cheering and shouting)

- (Jacques) Enzo!

- Ah... Jacques! Johana!

Don't be sad. I only took back what was mine.

Here. A present.

Tonight we're having a little party

among ourselves. Eight o'clock in my suite.

(knocks)

Mr. Roberto, tell your brother

to be reasonable.

Everybody's waiting for him upstairs.

(Roberto) He can't! He's indisposed!

Shall we call a doctor?

No, no! La Mamma, she is trying something!

(door shuts)

Oh, Mr. Mayol, help us. He refuses to receive

his medal, and everybody's waiting for him.

- I'll do my best.

- That's very kind of you.

It's Jacques!

Jacques!

My friend! Come on in!

Mr. Molinari, allow me to impress upon you...

..the importance of your attending

the award ceremony...

..for the press.

I think my brother told you I was indisposed.

That should do it, no?

I am allowed to be indisposed, right?

So you just go tell the press

that the big Enzo Molinari,...

..overwhelmed by his inspiring descent

of 324 feet,...

..will not be able to receive his trinket...

..because he is...

- Hm?

- ..he is...

Indisposed!

Bravi!

Jacques, my friend!

- Why don't you go pick up your medal?

- Ah, because pasta should be eaten al dente!

Let me know how you find it.

(Johana) Duffy!

Yes, I'm here. I can hardly hear you.

Almost everything is... yeah.

Two... maybe three days.

But, um...

No, I'm in a restaurant. What?

OK, I'll call you back. I promise.

Tomorrow.

OK. OK.

Yes!

My office in New York.

It's really busy back there.

I have so much work to do.

Is it good?

- Do you want some?

- Oh, no.

Buon appetito, signorina.

Thank you.

Ah... Jacques!

What's the matter?

I have to ask you a favor.

Hey, we're not stealing a dolphin, eh?

No. I told you, we're just helping one out.

- Trying to help one out?

- Yes!

Good.

- Buona sera.

- Buona sera.

(dolphin whistles)

(Johana gasps)

(Enzo) Taormina by night!

Lucky dolphin, eh?

(dolphin whistles)

Yeah! Stairs!

(dolphin clicks)

(Enzo whistles)

(dolphin whistles)

(dolphin whistles and clicks)

You can stop that now.

She has all the water she needs.

(Enzo) All right, we did it!

Let's go back to the party.

(dolphin whistles)

Jacques!

(dolphin whistles and clicks)

Five minutes, that's all! OK?

Well, then... Good night.

Night.

- Good night, Jacques.

- Good night.

You don't need a stretcher

to take her with you.

- You know that?

- What?

Dolphins aren't the only ones

who don't feel very good sometimes.

Jacques! Can I...

..come watch you dive tomorrow?

Yeah.

Good.

You really do have

a few things to learn about women.

(breathes deeply and holds breath)

(Johana) What do those guys do?
