He breaks water, waves the coin, looks for the priest and
sees he is no longer there.
JACQUES:
Padre?
He looks at the ancient impression on the coin -- "Boy on
a Dolphin".
DISSOLVE TO:
ON JACQUES - UNDERWATER
He's swimming near the spot where he fed the moray eel.
He senses something behind him and turns around. He sees
a dolphin, still and silent, floating vertically. It seems
to be watching him. The surprise is such that JACQUES is
in a panic, leaps up to the surface...
He bolts upright, as if suddenly awakening from a dream.
INT. ROOM - ON JACQUES' FATHER - DARK
A BURLY MAN, around fifty, crosses the room in the shadows
and throws open the shutters with a bang. Sunlight pours
in. He walks over to JACQUES' bed in the one room house,
and runs his hand through his hair.
FATHER:
(with a smile)
... Come on, time to get up,
Jacques!
JACQUES rubs his eyes. His father walks over to a pile of
blankets on the floor, on the other side of the room. He
gives the pile a kick.
FATHER:
(screaming at the
top of his lungs)
Louis, wake up!
He uncovers a kettle on the fire and ladles up a big bowl
of soup for Jacques. A fifty year old man pokes his head
out from under the pile of blankets. It's UNCLE LOUIS,
who is having a very hard time, waking up.
EXT. HOUSE - DAY
JACQUES bursts out of the house, running. Diving gear
under his arm. A piece of buttered bread in his mouth.
He catches up with his father and UNCLE LOUIS. They're on
a path winding down to the port. JACQUES slows down
abruptly. Tries to imitate their stride. The weather is
balmy and the sea lies before them, peaceful and blue.
EXT. SEA - DAY
