It's fantastic!
Three hundred and sixty feet, yes.
Congratulations, Jacques. It's wonderful, wonderful.
I'm happy for you.
Here. Here.
- What is it? - A little present. Nothing much.
I knew it. I just knew it.
- You still collect them? - Mm-hmm.
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."
Thank you.
You see I was right in getting you out here.
You are 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.
God.
Did you have a nice night?
Yeah.
I was with the dolphin.
- All night? - Yeah.
- With a dolphin? - Yeah.
I got to get back to New York.
I have my job, I have my work. I have a life.
Will you take me to the train station?
If you're ever in New York, give me a call, okay?
Can I come in?
No problem. I enjoy talking in my sleep.
Wake me up at 11:00.
Why are you always talking?
You think people are interested in what you're talking about?
I'm not interested and other people aren't either...
so just stop talking because other people have things to say.
You understand me?
Stop talking. 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. Okay?
Come on. Get your bags packed.
You're coming with me.
You stupid bastard.
We'll make a great team, the two of us.
You'll see. Okay?
One hundred feet.
You're still thinking about her.
Don't think about her anymore.
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.
Two hundred.
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.
Four hundred fifty feet, end of descent.
You have enough air for 15 minutes.
What's with the voice?
It's nothing. Maybe the helium is up too high.
Does the voice come back?
For others, yes. For you, who knows?
Try speaking to me.
I don't find this funny.
We were having a serious conversation.
It's okay for the helium.
Here, give me your finger.
Is that alcohol? That's really forbidden.
Do you have any other complaints?
Just make a list, and we'll stick it on the porthole, okay?
- Suck your finger. - Stop kidding around.
It's dangerous at this pressure, alcohol.
Enzo, it's very deep down here.
Come on, suck your finger.
I will be seeing mermaids everywhere.
A thousand commanders, and we get the Belgian from Alcoholics Anonymous!
See?
Come, let's go. Hey, let's go.
- Enzo, where do I put my feet? - Okay.
Wait, wait, wait! Where do I put my feet?
Can you hear me?
I didn't get the fucking commercial.
So, did you see your therapist?
- Yeah. - What did he say?
He said I have a decision to make.
The answer is within me.
- You paid for that? - Yeah.
What did you decide?
Nothing.
Jesus, Joey, you're driving me crazy with this already!
I mean, you don't even want to go shopping anymore.
You don't want to talk about my career no more.
You don't want to do anything that you used to want to do.
All you want to do is talk about this guy that you don't even know!
Just make a fucking decision!
Okay.
Heads, stay. Tails, go.
Okay?
- Stay. - Good.
Bad, very bad.
We weren't being cheated by the Mafia or anyone, except you.
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 happen to have the money now.
- If you dock my salary $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.
Hello.
Jacques? It's Johana.
How are you?
Good.
I got fired.
I got this job with Enzo. We got fired too.
Really?
Strange.
Talk to me some more.
It's hard, you know? 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?
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.
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.
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.
So, where are you from, Henrietta?
Johana! New York!
New York? What kind of name is that?
No, I'm from New York.
Oh, yes! The best lays 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! Thief! 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.
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.
- Remember in Capri... - Two dollars?
You didn't even need to catch the fish!
It died of cancer!
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 has come to spend a few days with us.
- Hi. - I'm Bonita.
- Nice to meet you. - Where is Mamma?
You have eight hours before she gets here.
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.
Come on, drink up, my boy.
- Hey, tell me, what century is this? - Second.
I'm glad you're here. Thank you.
What's going on here?
We're just listening to some music with Enzo.
Come on in. This is Dr. Laurence.
So you must be the famous Enzo Molinari, huh?
In the flesh. I have that honor.
Yeah.
God, I'm getting wrinkles.
Mm-hmm, and I'm getting pimples.
- 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? No.
I haven't even thought of having a baby.
I mean, really, God, we're just...
starting to get to know each other, and it'd be really...
Do I really?
Well, maybe he's not quite ready...
but he's a nice guy, sensitive.
Well, can't have a baby by myself.
Why not? I have a baby.
I loved his father.
We're not together anymore, but I have his baby.
In the end, you do it alone anyway.
Enzo Molinari for classification.
Yeah, ciao.
What was his last time?
I don't know, but it was really long.
Hey, that's not bad.
Bravo, Enzo. Magnifico. Bravissimo.
Very good, Enzo. Very good.
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. - You're kidding!
I knew you were gonna do that! Because... No, I'm kidding.
No, I wish I was.
Because.
I'll call you back tomorrow, okay? No, I will, I promise.
Did you have a nice day?
Enzo had a bad day.
Did you dive?
Nah, it didn't feel right.
It's a cute baby, huh?
I love that baby.
My brother!
Bravo, Enzo, bravo.
Let them try.
Is he okay?
Okay. Yes.
- What are they doing? - I don't know.
Not good.
Good dive!
How was it?
It was dangerous: 380 feet...
4 minutes and 50 seconds under water.
Great.
Congratulations!
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Bravo, Enzo!
Now... Now...
I'm sure you've heard that 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.
Also because the scuba divers are not used to going down below 300 feet.
But we asked the free divers...
and they all insist that the competition continue.
Good luck to you all. Good luck.
Sir...
One minute.
Three, two, one.
You're going past here?
Do you see him?
Hey! Do you see him?
Move up!
Bravo, Jacques. Bravo.
Thank you.
Here.
Four hundred feet. Four hundred feet!
That's fabulous.
You all right?
I'll be right there. Hi. Come on in.
No, I wanted to say good-bye.
- You're leaving? - Yeah.
Could you please give this to Enzo?
Okay.
It's no use.
Just tell him I said good-bye and give him a kiss for me. Okay?
- 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.
Thank you.
Welcome to Greece, Jacques. How are you?
Welcome, Johana. Have a good trip?
Okay, let me give you all the information. Come with me.
The smell of fish is making me sick.
Why?
Would you get me a glass of water?
Are you nervous about the competition?
What's it feel like when you dive?
It's a feeling of slipping without falling.
The hardest thing is when you're at the bottom.
Why?
'Cause 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.
- 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.
Okay.
Can we talk here?
Let's talk about my world.
My world is you.
I love you.
I want to live with you.
I want to have a baby with you.
I want to 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?
God.
Tomorrow is going to be a big day.
When I analyzed the data from Mayol's last dive, it became apparent...
that at the depths these men are diving...
it is a physiological impossibility...
that they can retain enough oxygen in their blood to make it to the surface.
The pressure is so strong...
that 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.
But today's just training.
- Molinari's a 17-time world champion. - Three minutes.
Do you want to tell him now he can't dive?
Cancel the competition.
Two minutes.
Get Mayol in here.
One minute.
They want to 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, no! - And then they die!
Wonderful.
Get away!
Will you get away? Goddamn it!
- Get away! - Get out!
Give him some time. Just leave him alone!
Get out!
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.
Take me back down.
Please.
Oh, look!
- Up with the arms, over the top! - Come on, Jacques!
Let's get a heartbeat. Come on.
Come on, Jacques! Come on, Jacques.
Come back, Jacques!
Come on!
Jacques, stay with us!
Good. Good. Good boy.
Good.
Got it? Very good.
Here.
Better to sleep.
We'll talk later.
You sleep now.
I love you.
Dr. 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...
tell Mamma.
I know this isn't a good time for this, but, uh...
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. - All right.
God. Laurence! What is it?
Talk to me. Dr. Laurence! Jacques!
Okay, 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?
What...
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.
I'm pregnant.
Did you hear me?
Go.
Go and see, my love.
