Schock

Marco:
[Asking his parents about the house they're moving into] Are we going to live here forever?

Bruno Baldini:
There's nothing worse for a marriage than sending a husband off without his coffee.

Marco:
Why doesn't my real daddy ever come back to see me?

Dora Baldini:
Look, Marco, you're old enough now to understand, I think. You know your father was a man who liked to travel a great deal. He loved airplanes, ships, sailboats - and he loved to visit faraway places.

Dora Baldini:
[continues] Well, one day he went on one of his voyages and never came back... Your daddy is dead, Marco.

Marco:
What is death, mama?

Dora Baldini:
Death is like going on a trip, darling, only one doesn't come back. One goes away forever. But we'll keep daddy alive within us.

Marco:
But why did he die, mama?

Dora Baldini:
Why? Oh, baby, it's hard to explain. Death is part of life and we must learn to accept it. You'll understand someday.
