The Big Blue

Jacques:
I don't understand. Please explain to me.

Enzo:
What do you want to know?

Jacques:
Everything!

Enzo:
About what?

Jacques:
About everything!

Enzo:
Mama mia.

Roberto:
Enzo, what are you going to do with the money?

Enzo:
Have the car painted.

Roberto:
Guiseppe will do that for 25 dollars.

Enzo:
Then tell him to wax it too.

Enzo:
Don't look at Jaques as if he was a human being, he comes from another planet.

Enzo:
Ah, I was 17! I was so in love with her, I tried to die for her. Two years later I can't even remember her name. Time, erases everything.

Roberto:
Enzo, really, whatcha going to do with the money?

Enzo:
A rosary for mama, a dress for Angelica and you , get yourself a suit that fits. But most important.

Roberto:
Yes

Enzo:
Find me the Frenchman. Find me Jacques Mayol.

Noireuter:
Smoking is absolutely forbidden.

Enzo:
It isn't lit yet.

Noireuter:
You shouldn't even carry cigarettes on board.

Enzo:
Listen, we're not supposed to piss either, but it doesn't stop you from carrying "it" on board.

Enzo:
A thousand commanders, and we get the Belgian from Alcoholics Anonymous!

Johanna:
You really send him under the ice? He isn't a slave or convict or anything, is he?

Dr. Laurence:
My dear, science is a cruel mistress.

Johanna:
How is he going to breathe?

Dr. Laurence:
He isn't.

Jacques:
I know you.

Johanna:
We just met, a few minutes ago.

Jacques:
In the lake.

Johanna:
No in the hut.

Jacques:
Then it must have been someone who looked like a lot like you.

Noireuter:
Is that alcohol? That's *really* forbidden!

Enzo:
Hey, do you have any more complaints? Just make a list and we'll stick it on the porthole, OK?

Roberto:
It's not like him to be late. Of course, sometimes he doesn't show up at all.

Jacques:
Who won?

Johanna:
Who won what? The a**hole award? Let me tell you, it was a tie!

Enzo:
...So, between Mamma, Roberto and Alfredo, we yell and scream at each other all day long. Except for Angelica, she just cries. And then finally, we all end up kissing. Can you explain that to me? Because *that's* what love is all about. It's a pain in the ass, but it keeps us together.

Enzo:
Dont think of Jacques as a human being, he's from another world.

Johanna:
Oh yeah? And what world are you from Enzo?

Enzo:
Italia!

Enzo:
You were right.

Jacques:
About what?

Enzo:
It's much better down there... It's a better place...

Jacques:
no...

Enzo:
Push me back in the water...

Jacques:
No, I couldn't...

Enzo:
Jacques... Take me back down... Please...

Jacques:
Why're you always talkin'? Y'know- you think that other people are interested in what you're talkin' about? I'M not interested, and other people aren't either! So just STOP talkin', because other people have other things to say y'know! You understand me? Stop talkin'! It's bullshit!

Enzo:
She's gone?

Jacques:
YES! She's gone!

Johanna:
Talk to me some more

Jacques:
It's hard, you know. I don't know what else to say. You're so far away.

Johanna:
Tell me a story.

Jacques:
A story? Do you now how it is- do you know what you're supposed to do, to meet a mermaid?

Johanna:
No.

Jacques:
You go down to the bottom of the sea, where the water isn't even blue anymore, where the sky is only a memory, and you float there, in the silence. And you stay there, and you decide, that you'll die for them. Only then do they start coming out. They come, and they greet you, and they judge the love you have for them. If it's sincere, if it's pure, they'll be with you, and take you away forever.

Johanna:
I like that story

Roberto:
Ten thousand!

Roberto:
Dollars!

Enzo:
Okay, you tell me. How much would you say a man's life is worth? In my village we have a saying. (to Roberto) How does it go again?

Roberto:
I don't remember.

Enzo:
Forget it.
