[Banging on table]

[Upbeat rock music]

- Hi.

- Good evening.

How could I help you?

- I need to report a robbery.

I got robbed.

I was on vacation here,

and I'm American.

They took all of my money.

They took my passport.

- Oh, that office is closed

for the day.

In fact, for the weekend,

and I don't have permission

to handle emergency passports.

- Uh, I need a passport.

- Nope.

Can't do anything until Monday.

You could expedite it for $300,

but it'll take a few weeks.

- Um,

what's your name?

- Jenny.

- I'm Charlie.

Can I use your phone?

- Sure.

- Is it free?

[Cell phone ringing]

- Hello.

- Hey, dad.

- Oh, hey, Vicky, what's up?

- Dad, it's Charlie.

- Oh.

[Chuckles]

I'm sorry, Charlie.

What's going on with you?

- Do you remember that money

that you and mom gave me?

I used it to go to Italy.

- Oh.

Well, that's not what we

expected you to do with it,

but okay.

Long as you get a job

when you come back.

- No, no, dad.

You don't understand.

I got robbed.

They took my wallet.

They took my passport.

They took my phone.

Um, I need help.

I'm at the embassy in Rome.

- That's unbelievable.

Charlie, that's great.

You got robbed!

That's a character-building

experience!

- Dad--

- do you remember the time,

when I was your age,

I was rafting in the Amazon,

and I went over the waterfall,

and I had to eat caterpillars

for two weeks

before I was found by

the hunters of amoaxaca tribe?

Well, this is your waterfall,

Charlie.

This is your Amazon.

"I must go down

to the sea again..."

- Dad!

- "The lonely sea and sky,

"and all I ask is a tall ship

and a star to steer her by..."

- Dad!

- "And the wheels kick

and the wind's song..."

- Dad, I need money.

I need you to send me

some money.

- Money?

[Scoffs]

Charlie, you don't need money.

You have everything you need.

I didn't raise an idiot.

Be safe. Be smart.

Be alert.

- All right.

- And, son,

how I envy you.

Good luck.

- Thanks, dad.

Yeah.

Bye.

Can I make another phone call?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

- [Sighs]

[Cell phone ringing]

- Hello.

Who is this?

- Mom.

- Charlie.

This is a strange number.

Where are you?

Are you in jail again?

- Jail?

No, no, mom.

I'm in Italy.

- Where?

- Rome.

Mom, I decided that I didn't

want to throw my money away.

- It's your money.

- Oh, mom.

Here's the thing.
