The Big Blue Page #4

No.

Me neither. Because of my mother.

She's a curse, my mother. Tornado.

Stubborn as a mule. Ti ricorda, no?

I was engaged for a week. After, Mamma was

so mad, the pasta was bouncing off the walls!

So, not married.

Good for you.

You play the field, like me.

A girl in every port, huh?

- After all, we're men!

- Damn right!

That's what I tell them

when people say you've turned into a fish.

People say that?

Forget it! I was joking!

Ah! La Madonna!

(sniggers)

I'll bet you my watch

that she's in my bed tonight.

Hello!

(squeals with mock surprise)

- You know each other?

- Yes!

- Enzo Molinari. This is a great pleasure.

- Johana Baker. Nice to meet you.

This is... a coincidence! It's unbelievable!

All the way out here!

It's incredible! I can't believe it!

Oh.

Uh... Would you like to sit down?

Yes. Thank you.

- I'm not interrupting anything, am I?

- No, not at all.

Emilio! Vieni qui!

- You staying at the hotel?

- It's full. But they recommended a pensione.

- All of Taormina is full.

- It's the Free Diving World Championship.

I am, by the way, world champion.

- What are you doing in Sicily?

- I was doing an insurance claim in Palermo...

..and decided to take a few days off,

see the island.

There is no place in the world

more beautiful than Sicily.

Spaghetti delmare

for the super-dedicated insurance agent.

Oh, no, no, no. Thank you. Just a coffee.

No, you should try it. It's good.

OK.

As I was saying earlier,

I am the world champion free diver.

Some people say it's

the most virile sport in the world.

One has to admit that seeing those men...

..diving headfirst in that deep blue sea,

all muscles contracted...

- Enzo...

- What?!

- Mamma?

- Dove?

Aspetta.

She'll kill me if she catches me

eating pasta in a restaurant.

Mangia, mangia. Mangia! Bullshit.

Eat!

Mamma!

Tu credi che io possa portare

da sola tutti questibagagli?

Mamma... Roberto and an elevator.

Isn't that enough?

- Che cosa haimangiato tu oggi?

- Coffee only.

I am diving tomorrow. Ah!

Remember little Jacques? Jacques Mayol?

His friend - Johana.

She is beautiful, no?

Spaghetti delmare!

Oh, thank you very much! Mm!

I'm so hungry!

Ha!

Mm, it's good.

Americana?

Benvenuta!

This is it.

It's... great!

So, you're gonna be

really busy these days, huh?

I don't know.

Why?

I... Because I...

I don't know. I just thought...

You have the competition, interviews.

A competition like this requires

a great deal of concentration... Doesn't it?

Yeah.

You can put down the bags now.

Thanks.

- (air horn)

- Jacques! Johana!

We have to get ready for the ceremony.

The Tahitian is the new world champion.

I'm tired. I don't feel like it.
