Understanding Loneliness and Abandonment
Luca
Alberto? What are those marks on the wall? Tell me what they mean.
[at the island; asks what the markings on the wall mean]
Alberto
I started when my dad left.
[sighs]
Luca
You were living here alone for that many days?
Alberto
I just stopped counting after a while. He said I was old enough to be on my own. I just thought that… …maybe he’d change his mind. Honestly, though, I get it. He’s better off without me. You are, too.
[sniffles; sighs]
Luca
That’s not true.
Alberto
Yes, it is. You’re not like me. You’re the good kid. And I’m just the kid that ruins everything.

Don’t say that. Alberto?

GET OUTTA HERE (NOW!) I’M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU AGAIN!

What?

Yeah. Yeah! And then the Vespa will be ours! And we’ll ride away together!
Alberto
Luca, that’s crazy.
Luca
Well, maybe I’m crazy. TAKE ME GRAVITY!!!!
[jumps off the tower]
Alberto
Luca! But what are you doing?!
Luca
I’m okay. I’ll be back tomorrow. I’m gonna fix this!

Embracing a Simple Life Underwater
Ugo
Some people think I'm mad to live in the deep. I think they're the ones, who are mad, not me, the one who's mad, it's them. It's a nice life. A simple life. It's away from the hustle and bustle, and all the stuff that you don't want. Mmm! Whale carcass. Anyway, you're gonna have fun. You get to hear me talk. I can talk without stopping, sometimes for, maybe, 12 hours, and you get to listen, so you're lucky. Well done.
