Get away!

(Jacques) Will you get away?!

Goddamn it!

Get away!

- Give him some time! Leave him alone!

- Out!

(Laurence) Clear off!

You were right.

About what?

It's much better down there.

It's a better place.

Push me back in the water.

No, I can't.

Jacques...

Take me back down.

Please.

(wails) No!

Oh, look!

Up with the arms... Over the top...

Come on, Jacques.

Let's get a heartbeat.

Come on, Jacques!

Come on, Jacques. Come on, Jacques!

Come back, Jacques!

Come on!

(distorted) Come on, Jacques!

(distorted voices)

Jacques! Stay with us!

(violent howl)

- (Jacques gags)

- Good. Good.

Good boy.

Very good.

Here.

Better to sleep.

We'll talk later.

You sleep now.

(whispers) I love you.

Doctor Laurence... This just arrived for you.

I wasn't on the boat.

The only time in 20 years,...

..and I wasn't on the boat.

I must go now.

La Mamma.

I know this isn't a good time for this but...

..I have the results of your test here.

Yes, you're pregnant.

Are you happy?

- Yes.

- Good.

I'm happy.

I'm scared,...

..but I'm happy.

So...

..no more ouzo.

No more cigarettes.

- You take care.

- Thank you.

(whispers) Jacques?

God... Laurence! Novelli!

What is it? Talk to me!

Dr Laurence!

Jacques!

Jacques!

OK. Wait a minute.

Let's talk to Laurence.

What are you doing?

Please, please don't do this.

Look, don't do this!

Why are you doing this?!

Jacques... Just talk to me!

I've got to go and see.

See what?

There's nothing to see, Jacques!

It's dark down there! It's cold!

You'll be alone!

And I'm here! I'm real! I exist!

Jacques...

I love you.

Jacques...

I'm pregnant.

Didn't you hear me?

(Johana sobs)

Go.

Go and see, my love.

No regrets

No tears

Only a strange feeling

Slipping without falling

I'm trying another world

here the water's not blue anymore

Another reality

Oh, my baby, I love you

My lady blue

I'm looking for something

That I'll never reach

I'll see eternity

No more sun

No more wind

Only a strange feeling

Living without moving

I'm trying another world

And the sky slowly fades in my mind

Just like a memory

No more reasons

No fears

Only this strange feeling

Giving without thinking

My baby, I love you

My lady blue

I'm looking for something

I'll never reach

Oooh

Baby, I love you

My lady blue

I'm searching for something

That I'll never reach

I'll see eternity
