- It's fantastic! - Ha vinto?
360 feet! Yes!
Enzo!
(Enzo) Congratulations, Jacques. It's wonderful. I'm happy for you.
Here.
- What is it? - Little presents. Nothing much.
I knew it. I just knew it.
- Do you still collect them? - Mm-hm.
You don't have that one, do you?
No.
It's beautiful. Thank you.
It's nothing.
I knew it. I told Roberto.
He's very good, that little Frenchman. Very good.
- Is this a poem? - No, it's a recipe for spaghetti frutti del mare.
Ha! Thank you.
You see? I was right in getting you out here. You're a world champion, my friend.
It's a measuring tape.
You see? This is your record.
Three feet more than mine.
Looking at it from here, it doesn't look like much, does it?
Keep your little measuring tape, my friend.
It will be a nice souvenir when I beat you next.
(dolphin whistles)
Jacques?
God!
Did you have a nice night?
Yeah.
I was with the dolphin.
All night?
Yeah.
- With the dolphin? - Yeah.
I gotta get back to New York.
Because I have my job, I have my work and my... life.
Will you take me to the train station?
(clicking)
(thunder)
(train conductor's whistle)
(announcement in Italian)
Jacques!
If you're ever in New York, give me a call, OK?
Jacques!
- Can I come in? - No problem. I enjoy talking in my sleep.
Wake me up at 11.
(Enzo murmurs)
Why are you always talkin'? Nobody's interested in what you're talkin' about.
So just stop talkin'! Other people have things to say! Understand?
Stop talkin'! It's bullshit!
- She's gone? - Yes, she's gone!
Hey, I'm gonna take care of you.
I've got a job, on an oil rig.
No sweat.
I'm taking you along. OK?
Come on, get your bags packed. You're coming with me.
You stupid bastard.
(laughs)
We'll make a great team, the two of us.
You'll see.
OK?
(sighs)
(alarm)
(clinking)
100 feet.
(Enzo blows his nose)
You're still thinking about her.
Don't think about her any more.
There are so many women in the world.
Plenty of women everywhere. Right?
Smoking is absolutely forbidden.
It isn't lit yet.
You shouldn't even carry cigarettes on board.
Listen, we're not supposed to piss, either.
But that doesn't stop you from carrying it on board.
The rules are the rules.
What's your name again?
Noireuter.
And where did you say you were from?
Brussels.
Hah!
Bella citta, bella citta.
200.
I was 17.
I loved her so much, I tried to die for her.
Two years later,...
..I couldn't even remember her name.
Let me tell you,...
..time erases everything.
I don't want to erase anything.
450 feet. End of descent.
(high-pitched) We'll be left here for 50 minutes.
(high-pitched) What's with the voice?
It's nothing. Maybe the helium is up too high.
(blast of gas)
- (high-pitched) Does the voice come back? - For others, yes.
For you... Who knows?
(high-pitched) Try speaking to me.
(high-pitched) I don't find this funny. We were having a serious conversation!
(Enzo laughs) Mamma mia!
(Noireuter) It's OK for the helium.
Here, give me your finger.
Uh... Is that alcohol?
That's really forbidden!
Hey, do you have any other complaints?
Make a list and we'll stick it on the porthole. OK?
- Suck your finger. - Stop kidding around. It's...
It's dangerous at this pressure - alcohol.
Enzo, it's very deep down here.
Come on, suck your finger.
Ah, you'll be seeing mermaids everywhere.
(laughs giddily)
A thousand commanders and we get the Belgian from Alcoholics Anonymous!
(Enzo and Jacques laughing)
Are we clear?
(Enzo laughing and mumbling incoherently)
(Jacques talks gibberish and giggles)
- (drunken laughter) - Can you hear me?
(drunkenly humming a waltz)
(rustling)
I didn't get the fucking commercial.
So, did you see a therapist?
Yeah.
What did he say?
He said I have a decision to make.
The answer is within me.
And you paid for that?
Yeah.
What did you decide?
Nothing.
(sighs) Jesus, Jo, you're driving me crazy with this already!
You don't wanna go shopping or talk about my career...
..or do anything you used to wanna do!
All you wanna do is talk about this guy that you don't even know!
Just make the fucking decision!
OK.
Heads - stay, tails - go.
OK?
Stay.
Good.
Bad. Very bad.
We weren't being cheated by the Mafia anyway - except you.
Duffy, I know you think I'm a terrible person.
I'm not a terrible person.
I fell in love.
I mean, I really fell in love.
Do you understand?
I understand... I could have you arrested for fraud.
I'd be happy to pay you back, but I just don't have the money right now.
- If you dock my salary, say, $20 a week... - Don't be cute, Johana.
- I guess this is where you fire me. - You're right! You're fired.
Thanks.
All right, who is this guy? This lucky guy.
Remember Laurence in Peru? It's one of his divers.
- The Popsicle stick? - Yeah. No, it's a different guy.
Well, I'm happy for you.
Good luck.
(phone rings)
Hello.
Jacques?
It's Johana.
How are you?
Good.
I got fired.
I got this job with Enzo.
We got fired, too.
(laughs) Really?
It's strange.
Talk to me some more.
It's hard. I don't know what else to say. You're so far away.
Tell me a story.
A story?
Do you know how it is...
Do you know what you're supposed to do to meet a mermaid?
No.
You go down to the bottom of the sea...
..where the water isn't even blue any more...
..and 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 comin' 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 for ever.
I like that story.
What is it?
I think I love you.
You live here?
Yeah. Sometimes.
- Who's that? - That's my Uncle Louis.
I can't get him out of the bathtub.
Sorry.
(Louis gasps for breath)
Assassin!
Uncle Louis! This is my friend Johana!
Hi!
Johana is visiting me!
He's a bit deaf. He's 75.
It's very nice to meet you, Uncle Louis!
(moans)
(Louis takes deep breath and submerges)
( ''Ride Of The Valkyries'' by agner)
(music continues playing)
So, where are you from, Henrietta?
Johana! New York!
New York? What kind of name is that?
- No, I-I'm from New York. - Oh, yeah!
(Louis) The best legs are from New York!
Uncle Louis...
Johana is my friend.
She's come to... stay with me...
..for a while.
Good. That way I'll see more of you.
Where are you gonna stay?
- Here. - Here? In my apartment?
It's my apartment.
Liar! Cheat! Torturer!
Uncle Louis, go back to your bathtub.
I'm going to put a lock on the telephone.
Have some more wine, Uncle Louis.
Thank you, Henrietta.
(whispers) I'll change my name.
This is, uh...
..my room.
Enzo phoned. He's coming over next week for another competition.
Great.
Are you gonna compete, too?
Yeah.
Are you sure you'll be all right here?
It's not like him to be late.
Of course, sometimes he doesn't show up at all.
Two dollars?!
You didn't even need to catch the fish!
It died of cancer!
(air horn)
Hello!
Enzo!
Jacques!
Johana!
Where did you get that?
That? This is not a ''that''.
This is Bonita Mariposa, the famous Spanish actress,...
..who is going to be very careful with the varnish...
- Hello, darling! - ..and who is spending a few days with us.
- Hi. - I'm Bonita.
- Where is Mamma? - You have eight hours before she gets here.
Va bene.
- ( ''Ride Of The Valkyries''plays loudly) - He's really going totally deaf.
I'm not as deaf as you are blind!
You take care of your eyes, and I'll take care of my ears!
I'm sorry, Uncle Louis. (laughs)
Come on, drink up, my boy!
Grazie.
(knocking)
Hey, tell me, what century are you in?
Second.
(knocking)
I'm glad you're here.
Thank you.
What's going on here?
We're listening to some music. With Enzo.
Come on in.
- This is Dr Laurence. - Ah!
So, you must be the famous Enzo Molinari.
In the flesh! I have that honor.
(Johana) God... I'm getting wrinkles.
Mm-hm. And I'm getting pimples.
So, are you gonna live here permanently?
I don't know. Things have happened so fast.
We haven't even talked about it.
You're very much in love. I can tell.
Yeah, I am.
You have that look.
The look of a woman who wants a baby.
Baby?!
Oh, no... I...
I haven't even thought of having a baby.
God, we're just... starting to get to know each other. It'd be really...
Do I really?
Well, maybe he's not quite ready, but...
..he's a nice guy, sensitive.
Well, I can't have a baby by myself.
Why not? I have a baby.
I loved his father.
We're not together any more but...
..I have his baby.
At the end, you do it alone anyway.
Enzo!
Cu! Cucu!
Via, via.
Enzo Molinari for classification.
Enzo!
Ciao.
What was his last time?
I don't know, but it was really long.
(clunk)
Hey, that's not bad.
Bravo, Enzo. Magnifiico. Bravissimo.
Enzo!
Vai, vai.
Very good, Enzo. Very good.
Aaargh!
So what? Anybody can have a bad day.
Well, I've had many, when the sea doesn't want you.
It's never the sea. It's Mamma, Roberto, that stupid actress!
Don't break my balls.
Anyway, I have something to tell you.
- I'm pregnant. - (Sally) Argh! You're kidding!
I knew you were gonna do that!
Because... No, I'm kidding.
No. No, I wish I was.
I'll call you back tomorrow, OK? I promise.
(Johana hangs up) Hi.
Did you have a nice day?
Enzo had a bad day.
Did you dive?
No, it didn't feel right.
It's a cute baby, huh?
I love that baby.
(takes deep breath)
(cheering)
(low whistle)
Il campione delmondo!
Bravo, Enzo, bravo.
Let them try.
(men) Bravo!
(alarm)
Is he OK?
(man shouts ordering Japanese)
OK. Yes.
(shouts in Japanese)
Enzo!
(takes deep breath)
(men shout encouragement)
What are they doing?
I don't know.
(clears throat)
D'accord.
No!
(shouting in Japanese)
(shouting)
Great time!
Benissimo!
- Merci. - Monsieur.
How was it?
It was dangerous.
380 feet,...
..four minutes and 50 seconds underwater.
Great.
Enzo!
Giacomino!
Congratulations!
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Bravo, Enzo!
Mio fiiglio, bravo!
(clapping continues)
Now...
I am sure you heard some people suggest it is too dangerous for us to continue.
Dangerous because we don't know how to measure...
..the physiological consequences of this type of dive.
And also because the scuba divers are not used to going down below 300 feet.
- But... - Cosa dice?
..we asked the free divers,...
..and they all insist...
..that the competition continue.
(clapping)
Bravo.
Good luck to you all. Good luck.
(breathes deeply)
One minute!
Three!
Two!
One!
You can't stay here!
Do you see him?
Hey! Do you see him?!
Jacques!
(clapping and cheering)
Bravo, Jacques! Bravo!
- (bleep) - Thank you.
400 feet.
- 400 feet! - (cheering)
Hoo-hoo!
Bravo, Jacques!
You all right?
(Johana) I'll be right there!
Hi! Come on in.
No. I wanted to say goodbye.
- You're leaving? - Yeah.
Could you please give this to Enzo?
OK.
It's no use.
Just tell him I said goodbye, and give him a kiss for me. OK?
- Promise? - Promise.
Maybe you shouldn't give up so easily.
Here's a present for you.
It's your baby.
Yeah.
Believe me, it will change your life,...
..only for the better.
You take care of yourself, Johana.
You, too.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
(whistles)
(whistling and clicking)
(whistles)
Thank you.
(whistling continues)
Welcome to Greece, Jacques! How are you?
Welcome, Johana. Have a good trip?
OK, let me give you all the information. Come with me.
Oh...
This is making me sick.
(sighs) Why?
Would you give me a glass of water?
(door opens)
Nervous about the competition?
No.
What's it feel like when you dive?
It's a feeling of slipping without falling.
The hardest thing is when you hit the bottom.
Why?
Because you have to find a good reason to come back up.
And I have a hard time finding one.
Well, we have the same problem.
Why?
Because I have a hard time finding a good reason to stay.
I found one.
Ciao, Enzo! Ciao.
Enzo.
Is he here?
Yeah.
Good.
It scares me when you look at the sea like that.
I used to dive here when I was a boy.
I have something I want to talk to you about.
Not here.
OK.
Can we talk here?
Let's talk about my world.
My world is you.
I love you.
I wanna live with you.
I wanna have a baby with you.
I wanna have a house with you.
A car with you. A dog with you.
You know?
Jacques, I think I might be pregnant!
Did you hear me?
Jacques?
Jacques!
JAAAAAACQUES!
God...!
(Enzo playing piano)
Tomorrow is going to be a big day.
When I analyzed the data from Mayol's last dive, it became apparent.
At the depths these men are diving, it is a physiological impossibility...
..that they could retain enough oxygen to make it to the surface.
The pressure is so strong, it stops the oxygen from circulating through the body.
To attempt to break Mayol's record now...
..is simple suicide.
Do you understand?
Yes, I understand.
Today is just training.
- Molinari is a 17-time world champion. - Three minutes!
Do you want to tell him he can't dive?
Ah.
Cancel the competition.
Two minutes!
Get Mayol in here.
(short, sharp breaths)
One minute!
(slower, deeper breaths)
They wanna cancel the competition.
For a while.
Why?
It's not safe, they say.
The doctors say...
..we can't go deeper and survive.
You say that because you have the title.
No.
I would never cheat you.
That's very nice of you.
Oh, Jesus! I told you to tell him not to go!
It's not my fault! I told him!
- No, no, no! - And then they die!
No! Ma che volete? E la prima volta che organizzo un torneo!
(alarm)
No... No...
Wonderful!
(alarm stops)
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!
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
