Ugo: [closing lines; eats a bit of food; One of Luca's fish faces him] 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.

Luca: I can't do it without you.

Alberto: But you're never without me. The next time that you jump off the cliff, or tell bruno to quit bothering you, that's me.

Luca: But how am I going to know you're okay?

Alberto: [hugs him] You got me off the island, Luca. I'm okay.

Luca: [at the island; asks what the markings on the wall mean] Alberto? What are those marks on the wall? Tell me what they mean.

Alberto: [sighs] I started when my dad left.

Luca: You were living here alone for that many days?

Alberto: [sniffles; sighs] 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.

Luca: That’s not true.

Alberto: [in tears] Yes, it is. You’re not like me. You’re the good kid. And I’m just the kid that ruins everything.

Luca: Silenzio, bruno. That’s just the dumb voice in your head. You taught me that. And getting a Vespa? Seeing the world…

Alberto: JUST LET IT GO! OKAY?! Look, you and I should have never been friends in the first place!

Luca: Don’t say that. Alberto?

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

Luca: Okay, I’ll go. I’ll go win the race.

Alberto: What?

Luca: Yeah. Yeah! And then the Vespa will be ours! And we’ll ride away together!

Alberto: Luca, that’s crazy.

Luca: [jumps off the tower] Well, maybe I’m crazy. TAKE ME GRAVITY!!!!

Alberto: Luca! But what are you doing?!

Luca: I’m okay. I’ll be back tomorrow. I’m gonna fix this!

Alberto: [over his growing jealousy of Luca spending more time with Giulia and Luca possibly going to school with her] Uh, Giulia, your school, does it take all kinds of people? I mean, what if some of them were not human?

Luca: Alberto…

Alberto: What if some were-- Oh, I don’t know, sea monsters?

Giulia: Sea monsters?

Alberto: I doubt your school would even accept sea monsters, right?

Luca: [laughs nervously; angrily] Ah, that’s a weird joke, Alberto.

Alberto: [dives in the water] Yeah, I know. It’s kinda hard to imagine. So, let me just show you!

Luca: No!

Giulia: [to Alberto] Come on.

Luca: Giulia, wait!

Giulia: [Alberto, now in sea monster form, rises out of the water, looking silhouetted with the sunset in a crouched, intimidating position; whimpers in fear] We don’t have time to goof around. Huh? AAAAHH! Help! D-Don’t hurt us!

Alberto: See? I knew this would...

Luca: [pointing at Alberto; Alberto gasps with a heartbroken and betrayed expression] SEA MONSTER!

Alberto: [He starts to his march past] This will be a breeze. Just don’t get wet.

Luca: Uh…

Luca: Actually, this town seems a little crowded.

Alberto: Hey! Silenzio, bruno. What’s wrong with you, stupido?

Fisherman #1: Huh?

Luca: Huh! It worked.

Alberto: [As he marches again] See? You just gotta follow my lead.

Daniela: Luca! Where have you been?

Luca: [thinking; covers his mouth with his hands] Uh…. Don’t say surface. Don’t say surface. Surface.

Daniela: What did you just say?!

Lorenzo: What's wrong with your foot?

Daniela: [Luca stops his nightmare] Luca. Gonna tell us where you were?

Luca: Uh….

Grandma: It’s my fault. I sent him to look for sea cucumbers.

Luca: Right. Sorry, Grandma, I couldn’t find them.

Daniela Paguro: Mom, his life is maybe a little more important than your snacks.

Luca: Thank you.

Ercole Visconti: [laughs evilly] You should've left when I told you. Now, I'M GONNA KILL SOME SEA MONSTERS!!!

Massimo: Where did you boys say you were from?

Massimo: They're not sea monsters, they're Luca... and Alberto.
