"¤ "What happened to you, little boy, what happened to you?",... ¤ they say to me at school and ask me at home,... ¤ I was unaware, now I suddenly learned of it..." "¤ when I heard the teacher check attendance, she wasn't present." "¤ She of the blue backpack, the one with the sleepy eyes... ¤ it brought me great worries and my grades plummeted." "¤ Now I don't even want to go out at recess, nothing amuses me anymore... ¤ I can't read or write, I need her gaze. ¤" "Oh, this couple like Romeo and Juliet!" "But like my Aunt Hermida said: "Better a poor wet life than a rich dry death"." "¤ She left me two pages of a notebook, saying "love" between blots." "¤ I'd like to see her at her desk... ¤ because if she never comes back my room will be very sad." "¤ She of the blue backpack, the one with the sleepy eyes... ¤ worried me greatly and my grades plummeted." "¤ I didn't want to go out at recess, I couldn't bring myself to have fun... ¤ I can't read or write, I need her gaze. ¤" "I want to thank you for this party." "You're very nice." "All us townspeople are very happy... that your disturbing adventure had a happy ending." "I'm also very grateful to you all,... for these demonstrations of affection toward Raúl, Amy, and yours truly." "Since our experience was bad, I know... it was terrible when the storm arrived yesterday,... and if one sometimes thinks of going on a boat... think about what you're doing." "When the storm arrived and threw me into the water,... and I saw that Amy was lost to me, I despaired, it was terrible... and now, to see her here, among you all,..." "I want to thank everyone here." "Ummm..." "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" "And what's up with you?" "Suddenly you got half-sad." "What's the matter?" "Sorry, me too, I'm very happy that everything turned out well." "Sigh!" "But you say so in a way that makes me want to dance!" "Let's see a smile!" "Come on, tell me what's bothering you and I'll see if I can help." "OK?" "It's Fernando." "Tomorrow he'll be going to the doctor to see if there's any point to operating." "Oh, wow!" "Don't worry, Mom, everything will be all right." "Yes, son, yes." "Raúl, come with me, I'll take you to talk to someone who can help." "~ This is God's house." "~ I know." "So, what are you waiting to ask Him to help you?" "You think He'll listen to me?" "Sure, if you talk with your heart, He'll know to listen." "What do I tell Him?" "Pray for your father." "Lord, if You're listening to me, since You are so big and powerful,... and if we really are Your children, please help my father,... and perform the miracle he needs to get well." "Thank you, Lord." "Go to sleep, Raúl." "Mom, is Dad all right?" "Yes, dear, he's sleeping." "Tomorrow he's going to the doctor, right?" "That's right, son, but it's time you got some sleep, OK?" "Good night." "Listen, Mom, does God exist?" "Of course He does, dearest." "God is here with you, with your dad, with Amy,... and all the beings in the world." "~ Good night, Mom." "~ Good night, my love." "Sleep well." "Ma'am, after all the tests we've done on your husband,... we have faith in a procedure which should restore his health." "Doctor, does it run any risks?" "Well, there are always risks." "~ Ma'am." "~ Yes?" "Everything has gone well." "Now we have to wait a few days to see how things progress." "Elena." "Elena." "Elena." "Fernando." "Fernando!" "Dad, Dad!" "Raúl, my Raúl!" "Thank you!" "Raúl." "Soon I'll be headed home." "It's like waking up from a long sleep." "Don't worry about this anymore, Fernando." "The important thing's that it's all behind you." "Look, here's the two of them." "Hello." "Good morning, morning." "~ Son." "~ Dad." "~ These are for Don Fernando." "~ Thanks, girl." "Good morning." "Christ, you have no idea how good it is to see you up and about again!" "Yeah, me too, my old sea wolf." "Old?" "The sea's old, but it still spumes." "How I envy your health, Uncle Andrew!" "That's right, my uncle is stronger than a mule." "Yuck." "Why don't you compare me to a shark?" "~ Raúl, keep an eye on your father's chocolates." "~ Yes, Mom." "The plain truth is that the sun, the breeze, the sea, that all that keeps me strong, healthy, and handsome." "Ah, don't laugh, you don't believe me?" "Well, to show you, as soon as you leave the hospital,..." "I'm going to invite you to taste some very loving girls." "But Doctor García said I'd be leaving here very soon." "If you go off with Andrew's girlfriends, you'll be right back here." "Oh, no, then I'd rather believe you..." "I'll give the girls a miss." "~ Let's just go to sea." "~ To sea?" "Don't get upset, Elena, it's just a joke." "What's going on, boys?" "These, my pirates, to whom do we owe this manifestation?" "Ah, I know, they've come to ask me to be the general secretary of the shrimpers' union,... but I'm not interested." "I'm against politics." "No, no, no, it's not that." "We've all found a way to help you out here." "It's not much, some $1,500, but it may help a bit." "No, absolutely not, my good pirates, absolutely not." "Besides, you need that money for your kids, for your wives at home." "No, Andrew, right now you need it more than we do." "Accept it, please." "Oh, my!" "Besides, I don't know how I'll ever pay you back." "That doesn't matter, accept it." "Oh, wow, you've nearly made me bawl." "Old Andrew, I know what it is to lose a ship." "Well, like Neptune said: "It's great that everyone cooperated and not just one."" "Fine, now let's go drink an icy booze... in the Bermuda Triangle." "What's the matter?" "Oh, no, no, no, just a minute, I'm foresworn!" "Yes, yes, yes, I just swore to my dear Amy... that I wasn't going to drink." "No, just one, no more!" "No, I'll just watch you, I'll just watch you, I'm foresworn." "Happy?" "Happy enough, but I feel like I've been away a long time." "Best not think about it, Dad, what matters is that you're healed." "How's old Lola?" "I went to the marshaling yard yesterday and told your machine..." "What?" "excuse me --- I told Lola you'd be coming home today." "Old Lola and I are equally infirm,... but very soon I'll fix her." "No way!" "Old Lola should have to wait." "You can't go back to work yet." "You have to rest, Fernando." "Yeah, Dad, I'll work in your stead." "No, son, you've all done too much already." "Now it's my turn,... and a pair of crutches won't hold me back." "But Fernando, the doctor said you'd need six months to recuperate." "Doctors always exaggerate." "Fine, what are you waiting for?" "Come with me to see old Lola." "Go on!" "My love!" "You'll never change." "My old Lola, I thought we'd never be back together again,... and here we are again, and soon we'll hit our stride." "And you'll whistle proudly through the whole valley." "And once again you'll brave the great desert to Yuma, like in the old days... like in the good times, my old Lola, like in the good times." "¤ They'd hardly learned how to walk... ¤ but they already rush after it." "¤ Young girls can't afford to give it a second thought... ¤ because when they get 15 they're already getting old." "¤ Since age ten they began to dream... ¤ about whatever neighbor guy... ¤ and they'd want to snare with sighs... ¤ whoever crossed their path." "¤ They still smelled like diapers... ¤ but they sit like mother hens." "¤ They get crazy and give a thousand eyeblinks... ¤ whenever a young gallant wanted to conquer them." "¤ Not that I care or that I want to speak ill... ¤ I just state my point of view,... ¤ it's just that on seeing them there's no one to resist the temptation... ¤ of talking to them a little so as to grab them into his chicken run." "¤ If they go to a dance they want to conquer,... ¤ all the boys with their little steps,... ¤ but they can't do laundry or iron clothes... ¤ and they never turn their hands to the kitchen." "¤ They go to school but not to study,... ¤ they flirt with every boy buddy... ¤ and they only get easy... ¤ when they finally land their fish." "¤ They still smell like diapers... ¤ but they sit like mother hens." "¤ They get crazy and give a thousand eyeblinks... ¤ whenever a young gallant wanted to conquer them." "¤ Not that I care or that I want to speak ill... ¤ I just state my point of view,... ¤ it's just that on seeing them there's no one to resist the temptation... ¤ of talking to them a little so as to grab them into his chicken run." "Congratulations on your song, it speaks very nicely about women." "No, you ought to congratulate your uncle Andrew." "My uncle?" "What, is it his birthday or something?" "No, because of the shipfitting shop he started." "I think he's going to become a millionaire." "Not hardly, son, I'm happy with earning enough for food." "And I owe this to my friends the shrimpers, the pirates of the seven seas... who lent me some money to get back on my feet." "It's because they like you so much." "No, not me, they like you, my girl." "You're the darling of them all,... but you'll see we're not going to fail." "And it seems to me that soon we'll have our very own shrimp boat." "But let it be ten tons loadable, Mr. Andrew." "From your lips to God's ears, son!" "Amy's uncle will become a millionaire thanks to the shipyard." "Old Andrew's a hard worker, a shame he's into drink." "~ Not anymore!" "~ Pass me some bread, please." "After dinner." "Now he's a good man and his only object of worship is his niece." "All he cares about is saving money to buy another shrimp boat." "For men formed at sea, no storm can deter them." "Pass me a biscuit, son, please." "~ Not until you finish your dinner." "~ You see the example you set?" "Amy, give me the power switch next to the screw." "~ Oh, and a screwdriver." "~ Yes, I'm coming." "Is that everything or do you want something else?" "That's everything, girl." "Good, I'm going to fix dinner." "~ Amy." "~ What?" "Look, this is provisional,... but soon we'll have enough savings to pay Mr. Nelson... the first installment of our shrimp boat." "And will it be a new one?" "Well, not NEW new, but... it's not going to be as old as the skulls of Columbus." " I mean, ships!" "I am happy, uncle, and I wouldn't mind living here for life." "Seriously." "Oh, Amy, you never learned how to lie!" "You also dream of soon having our own shrimp boat." "You were born on a boat." "You have nautical blood, you smell like the sea and you belong to the sea,... just like I smell of the sea and belong to the sea, girl." "Haven't I ever told you about the time I faced a sea dragon in the seas off China?" "Boy, it threw fire through its eyes!" "~ Through its eyes?" "~ Yes!" "~ Shouldn't it be from its mouth?" "~ No, through its own eyes." "Then it wasn't a dragon." "Well, not quite a proper dragon, because later I approached it, and it turned to be a giant sea turtle... with the neck of a crocodile." "Yes, the neck was that big." "No...really?" "You'd better tell me one tale about the octopus, right?" "~ Oh, when I faced Tentáculos!" "~ Go on." "Oh!" "When it wrapped me in its tentacles,..." "I felt that they'd broken every bone... all I can say is that my eyes were about to pop out because of their grips, oh!" "Oh, why do I get on telling you?" "Then I won't be able to get sleep." "No, no." "~ Uncle!" "~ Hello, Mr. Andrew." "Hi, Raúl:" "Don Juan Tenorio has arrived here." "How teasing you are!" "What's up, Raúl?" "What is it?" "He's telling you about his adventures?" "Yeah, but he didn't finish because he said he gets nightmares." "Oh, Uncle!" "Look, stay there, Raúl, leave it there." "I have to deliver that." "Why not go and play somewhere?" "Go on." "~ Let's go to the beach." "~ Good, let's go." "Well, if you go to the beach, beware of sea monsters, eh?" "Yes, should it be that we find a crocodile-necked turtle,... half breed with lizard-crocodile, with the legs of a monkey and eyes of a dead spider... and who knows what else." "What are you talking about?" "Look, come on, I'll tell you." "It happens that in the depths of the sea... my uncle found a dragon which shot fire from its eyes... but when he got close to it he saw..." "~ I'm tired." "~ Don't be lazy." "Oh, it's just too long!" "~ Look, something shiny!" "~ A shark?" "What is it?" "~ Look!" "~ What?" "A gold coin." "Look how nice it is." "How pretty!" "~ Give it to me." "~ No!" "Look!" "~ Give it to me!" "~ No!" "Let me see it!" "It must be a gold dollar." "No, man, it's a commemorative gold coin from Mexico." "Don't be silly!" "We'd better go to Uncle Andrew, he ought to know what it is." "Let's go." "~ Mr. Andrew!" "~ Uncle Andrew!" "~ Mr. Andrew!" "~ Uncle Andrew!" "Run!" "~ Uncle Andrew!" "~ Uncle Andrew!" "What's the matter?" "What's the problem?" "What you want is my business." "What did they do to you?" "~ No, nothing like that." "~ Look, some treasure!" "Where'd you steal this from?" "No, Raúl just found it himself." "Amy said that it's an American dollar but I think it's a century-old Mexican coin." "No, you're both wrong,... it's neither American nor Mexican." "~ It's a Spanish coin, a doubloon." "~ Doubloon?" "And it's pure gold." "Where did you find it?" "I found it by the breakwater." "It probably came from a Spanish galleon that sank, or a pirate ship." "Oh, I know, maybe it belonged to the famous pirate Blackbeard, or Al Capone!" "~ Yeah." "~ Al Capone?" "What, he was a pirate?" "Yes, Al Capone was a pirate, but on land." "But it was Blackbeard's,... and probably the remains of the galleon and treasure is to be found...now let's see..." "Uncle, there was nothing else where we found this." "Surely the prevailing current brought it to where you found it... and the treasure chest can be found, let's see, in... ~ In Cayo Arenas!" "~ Cayo Arenas?" "Holy cow, Mr. Andrew!" "But where's that?" "It is an island." "Rather, it was a beautiful island,... the refuge for Blackbeard and other famous pirates." "I've cruised by it and faced their ghosts." "Ah!" "I never told you about when I faced the ghost of Barbarossa?" "You said Blackbeard, before." "~ Well, that day he painted his beard." "~ Yeah, right!" "It was a stormy night." "I was aboard the "Seagull"." "I was suddenly enveloped by a dense fog,..." "I couldn't see a thing, and --- boom --- I broke my nose!" "Uncle!" "Well, I mean..." "I was shipwrecked." "I grabbed a plank and entrusted myself to the beard of Neptune... and let the current take me." "Cayo Arenas..." "Cayo Arenas..." "Yes, I ended up there." "Indeed I did!" "Oh!" "The sun roasted my bones and my body was burned." "And Blackbeard's treasure?" "Relax, Everyman, I still haven't gotten to that part!" "Then I spent several days walking." "I thought I'd die of hunger..." "To survive, I started eating coconuts, bananas, and roasted monkeys." "~ Monkeys?" "~ Monkeys?" "Oh, yes, they're very tasty with rice." "Yes!" "Yuck!" "Then I found the treasure." "Yes, but Greenbeard was there." "Yes." "He painted it." "No, that day he was sick to his stomach, that's why it was green." "Then he drew his blade." "So I drew swords, and said "Let's have at it, let's see how we play,"... and I began raining blows on him,... but every time I landed a blow he laughed and disappeared." "And when he reappeared, he'd be bigger and bigger and bigger." "until I told him "Hey, Mom, Dad, how much I love you!",.... and he began to chase me." "Oh, yeah!" "And do you think the treasure's still there on Cayo Arenas?" "Oh, sure, the treasure's there!" "But so's Blackbeard." "Oh, yes!" "What's this coin worth?" "No idea, it's the first time I saw a coin like that." "~ What?" "~ What?" "Well, I mean...so dented, because the others were in pretty good shape." "Oh, yeah." "And where does Cayo Arenas lie, Mr. Andrew?" "Well, there, way far away, yeah, far away." "~ You know what we're doing tomorrow?" "~ No." "We'll go to the library for a nautical map." "~ A what?" "~ A navigation chart." "It's a map, kind of." "It ought to have the latitude and all the other information needed to pinpoint the island." "~ What for?" "~ What do you mean, "what for"?" "~ Do not you want to get rich and buy your Uncle Andrew his shrimp boat?" "~ Sure." "And I'll buy my father a complete train and my mother a lovely house." "Then we're going to look for the treasure." "Of course." "Once we know where the island lies, we can head to sea." "In what boat?" "~ Hello, Miss." "~ Hello." "Do you have a book that details all the islands lying off of Puerto Isabel?" "~ Certainly." "~ Can we take it out?" "Of course." "We've got several." "They're found in the stacks between PN and PQ, on the placard." "~ Thanks." "~ Thanks." "~ Raúl." "~ Ah, here it is!" "~ Is it?" "~ Yes, come on." "No, it's not here." "Here!" "Nothing, damn!" "We haven't found that island." "Look, there's nothing here besides Cayo Chueco, Cayo Honduras, Cayo Angustias, Cayo..." "Nah!" "Maybe they changed the name and now it's known as a different Cayo." "Uncle Andrew said it was near Cayo..." "Cayo Huesos, right." "See..." "Cayo Huesos...there it is..." "Here's Cayo Tierra!" "It's the same..." "It's the same:" "Cayo Arenas, Cayo Tierra." "It's the same, yeah, that's the island." "~ Watch over me." "~ Sure, hang on." "Go on!" "Go on, they're watching us!" "Hurry!" "~ Now?" "~ Yeah." "Let's put it back." "It's over here." "Oh, no!" "~ Did you bring it along?" "~ Yes." "Hide it well." "Shhh!" "Oh, you!" "~ Thanks, Miss." "~ No problem." "¤ When I met you you were wearing your little hat... ¤ with your skirt falling as if forming a beak." "¤ You wore red shoes, with your braids in ribbons,... ¤ with a red belt and a skirt of many colors." "¤ So when I saw you I didn't know what I was feeling,... ¤ I saw you as young as a little rosebud." "¤ The day I met you --- it happened in a small park ---,... ¤ I liked your braids, but I liked your hat more." "¤ Your hat's very nice, and I don't think there's another one like it... ¤ because it frames your face and your beautiful eyes." "¤ So when I saw you I didn't know what I was feeling,... ¤ I saw you as young as a little rosebud." "~ See you, Jálale-ahí!" "~ Thanks for the lift." "What are you thinking about?" "Blackbeard." "What, should it be that you're scared of him?" "The truth is, yes." "So I'm taking my rifle." "But he's a ghost, bullets won't harm him." "Fine, but at least it'll give him a scare, right?" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Hey you!" "Don't you know how to greet people?" "~ Hello, Uncle." "~ Hello, Mr. Andrew." "Oh, do not be angry!" "~ Where were you guys?" "~ At the library." "He brought me some homework." "Oh, come along, I'm going to tell a story." "It's about a lion with wings." "I saw him leap out of the sea, yes, with a fish tail." "Is something wrong, son?" "No, nothing." "You look like you're daydreaming." "I was just thinking about what would happen if we were millionaires." "$270." "If we keep on like this we'll never have the money for a new boat." "No, Uncle Andrew." "Soon you'll have enough money to buy not just one boat, but a whole flotilla of them." "Oh, wow, you're beginning to dream just like your uncle!" "Go on, go to bed because work starts early tomorrow." "OK." "¤ Oh, I was born on this riverside of the River Arauca... ¤ I'm the brother of foam, of herons, of roses,... ¤ I'm the brother of foam, of herons, of roses, and of the sun, the sun."

""...we'll be back in a few days, loaded down with gold." ""Don't worry about Amy and me." ""Kisses for both." ""Raúl."" "My love?" "What's going on?" "Beats the Hell out of me." "This is Raúl." "Oh, my God!" "~ Look!" "~ What?" "~ A shark." "~ Easy." "Boys, you have to help us look for these kids." "I'll pay you for the effort." "Please, I beg you." "No one has to pay us, Don Fernando." "We'll all gladly help, but we have to wait for sunrise." "We gain nothing by going to sea now." "Fernando, I can't bear to wait until tomorrow." "Please, beg to them!" "Elena, the boys are right." "There's nothing to be done." "We have to wait until tomorrow." "~ We'll split up and search in every direction." "Right, guys?" "~ Of course, sir." "With God's help we'll find those kids.." "My God, look out for them, help them!" "Don't abandon them!" "May God grant they'll show up soon, Andrew." "Thank you, brother, thank you, thank you." "A few friends have already set sail." "We'll do the same right now." "~ Thanks very much." "~ May God reward you." "Help Fernando." "~ We'll head northwards." "~ Fine." "Good luck!" "Cast off!" "~ Amy, Amy!" "~ What's up?" "Look at that." "What is it?" "It looks like smoke." "No, it's fog." "Hold on." "This is Gavilán, we've searched 40 miles offshore with no results." "This is Delfín 2." "We're up against a small island." "We've explored it with no success." "We'll keep you informed." "This is Marmota III." "We've traveled 30 miles northwest to 16° with no results yet." "We'll turn 12° south and keep you informed." "Over and out." "Let me talk." "This is Viola G. Captain Andrew speaking." "Boys, thanks very much, but let's keep on looking for the kids, please." "Thanks." "Over and out." "Raúl!" "Amy!" "Raúl!" "Amy!" "Attention, attention, red alert!" "All craft are ordered to return to port immediately." "We're expecting winds of 180 knots from north to south in 15 minutes,... at 12:45." "Over and out." "I'm sorry, we have to go back." "Please, Nautilus, keep looking." "Please!" "Amy!" "The poor kids!" "Dear God, help them!" "We can't abandon them, Captain, they're just kids." "Something in the water to port!" "They're the remains of a boat!" "Yeah, it's the remnants of the boat the kids took." "Yes, that's her!" "Amy, Amy!" "Raúl, Raúl!" "Amy!" "Amy!" "Amy!" "Amy!" "Amy!" "Amy!" "Amy!" "Amy!" "Amy!" "Amy!" "Amy!" "Amy." "Amy, at last I found you." "Where are we?" "~ I don't know." "Are you OK?" "~ Yeah." "We lost our boat along with all our stuff." "Raúl, I'm scared!" "Don't worry, we'll find a place to spend the night while you recover." "Come on." "Dear God, if You're here and You can hear me,..." "I ask You, I beg You, don't let Amy die." "If You want, take me, but not her...not her, please!" "Nautilus." "Ahoy, Andrew." "Sit down, have a drink, it's good for you in a weather like this." "No thanks." "I want to ask you a favor." "Sure, you know you can count on all of us." "Lend me your boat to go to find Amy and Raúl." "All right?" "Wow, that puts me in a difficult position." "I and everyone would be glad to." "Moreover, we'd go with you,... but with this weather we can't go out." "You know that." "Don't worry, I'll evade port security." "Please!" "No, Andrew, you'd never pull it off." "Besides, it's pointless." "Be strong, my friend." "You've always shown everyone you're brave in adversity." "You have to understand it's all over." "No, my pirate Nautilus!" "Look, there's something inside me that says that these youngsters are still alive... lost on an island or a beach." "I understand your pain, we understand it all here." "There's nothing we can do in this bad weather." "You have to wait." "You have to wait until the storm passes." "Please!" "So then you all won't help me?" "Where are my friends?" "Where are they?" "You, Bob, you, Wolf, you told me you could help me,... you said so when you were drunk." "You, Hawthorn, you, Mussels, you, Shark,..." "What, what, where are my friends,... those who said they love Amy, that she was their dearest?" "Help me look for her!" "A pity that Jálale-ahí isn't here, he'd help me,... but now I've learned the measure of the friends I was counting on." "What it means is that they don't have children." "No, of course they have them, what they lack is guts... but I'll find out a way to go look for them." "Thanks, thanks!" "Yes, it's the only help I can get here." "Wait for me!" "Give me your hand." "Raúl, let's go that way." "Be careful!" "Don't try to kill it." "It'll bite you." "~ No, I'm not going to kill it." "~ What, then?" "Just making sure it stays away from us." "On the count of three we started to run." "One, two, now!" "Hurry!" "Such a scare it gave me!" "~ Look!" "~ What?" "Papayas!" "Hurry up!" "Yah, I'm coming!" "I think this is a good place... for pirates to have hidden their treasure." "Don't you think?" "Now let's find out." "~ Come on, let's dip in." "~ OK." "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Raúl." "Amy!" "Help me!" "Amy, get back to shore!" "Amy, oh!" "Someone, take this off me!" "Amy, come on." "How hard those animals bit us!" "Right?" "Yeah." "What are they?" "They're leeches or something like that." "What's the matter?" "Nothing, nothing." "Come on, come on!" "This is a safe place." "We can spend the night here." "My God!" "Fernando, I don't know why this happened." "I don't have the courage to accept it." "Be brave, Elena." "I've just been informed by the Coast Guard... and they'll go look for them once the weather improves." "Look for them?" "Look for them how?" "Do they think they'll still find them after so many days?" "Don't lose faith, Elena." "If they're still alive, they'll find them." "If they're still alive?" "And you're telling me to have faith?" "Elena, for God's sake!" "Uncle!" "Uncle Andrew!" "Uncle!" "Uncle!" "Uncle Andrew!" "Uncle!" "Uncle Andrew!" "Uncle!" "Uncle Andrew!" "Uncle Andrew!" "Uncle Andrew!" "Uncle!" "Uncle Andrew!" "Uncle Andrew!" "Amy!" "What's up, old timer?" "What happened, Jálale-ahí?" "What have you got?" "Despair." "You know the sea is the best friend of fishermen,... you have to respect it, old timer, respect it a lot." "Yeah, but it's not my style." "If I'd had a boat, I'd be out looking for them already." "This way it won't be on my conscience that I didn't go out looking for them... and got the feeling that I'll find them!" "Lend me your boat, Jálale-ahí!" "I can't, buddy." "You know we're not allowed to sortie in this weather." "Please!" "By your own mother!" "Jálale-ahí!" "Eh?" "It's OK, old timer." "Count on my craft." "You know where it is." "Just don't say I lent it to you." "~ No." "~ Move it." "Thanks a lot, may God reward you!" "~ Good luck." "~ Thanks, brother." "Look, a fish!" "~ Yeah, really!" "~ Let's chase the seagulls." "~ Beat it!" "What are you waiting for?" "~ Go on, scram, beat it!" "~ Whole." "~ Yes." "~ Let's cook it." "~ You bet." "Could this one be the right island?" "I think so, but that doesn't interest me." "What interests me is Uncle Andrew, your mom, your dad..." "What will they be thinking?" "I don't know." "They're probably pretty desperate." "I wish they'd send someone to look for us." "I don't think they'd find us." "Not even we know where we are!" "This is more than enough." "Raúl, let's look for fresh water, huh?" "Raúl, I'm already pretty wiped out." "We've turned 1,000 times but it's all the same." "Wait for me here." "I'm going to explore." "If I find something, I'll let you know." "OK?" "Help, Amy!" "Help me!" "Amy, help me!" "Amy, help me!" "No, no, no, it's quicksand, you're going to sink!" "Grab that branch!" "I can't, it's very strong." "Find one that's loose, but hurry!" "Here." "~ That's not long enough, another one!" "~ Yes, Raúl, yes!" "I'm coming, Raúl, hang on!" "Come on, grab it!" "Are you all right, Raúl?" "Say something!" "Nothing happened to you, Raúl?" "No, Amy." "Don't worry, I'm fine." "Let's get out of here, Raúl!" "I'm scared!" "We're going die!" "~ Yeah, let's go, let's go." "~ Let's go!" "Here we'll be safer than in the jungle." "You know, Raúl?" "I don't really care about Blackbeard's treasure anymore, my main concern is Uncle Andrew." "And for me, it's my parents." "God will help us get home." "God?" "If He existed, He'd have helped us!" "Raúl, don't speak ill of God or He may punish you." "Look, look...!" "Where was God when we were attacked by the animals in the river,... or when I fell into the quicksand?" "I've been looking for Him, I've talked with Him, but He hasn't answered." "Besides, if He loved us he would have sent someone to rescue us..." "Amy,... forgive me for what I said about God." "I don't know what got into me." "I was upset." "Now I'd like you to forgive me." "All right." "Look, I found a starfish." "How beautiful!" "Uncle Andrew says that sailors navigate by the stars." "~ This one?" "~ No, the ones in the sky!" "He also says that there's one that always lies due north, and that's what guides them." "I knew that." "Did you know that each star has a name?" "~ Yes." "~ Let's see, tell me one." "Amy." "Don't babble, that's my name." "~ You're my star." "~ That's not true." "Yes, and you'll always guide me." "~ We'll always be together." "~ Really, Raúl?" "Yes, I'll grow up and work like my father and I'll love you forever." "You swear to me?" "Come on." "Kneel." "Repeat after me,... and let Heaven be a witness to this oath." "~ I swear..." "~ "I swear..."" "~ on my life..." "~ "on my life..."" "that here on this island or anywhere else in the world..." ""that here on this island or anywhere else in the world..."" "~ I will love you forever." "~ "I will love you forever."" "¤ Dove, what are you doing here on your own?" "¤ If you're looking for love, here I am." "¤ You dove of the little golden mouth, my dear,... ¤ How I wish to give you a kiss drenched with love,..." "¤ to say nice things in your ear,... ¤ and to cause your heart to throb,... ¤ then to pin your body with these arms,... ¤ and then dedicate to love each other." "¤ Let me love you and slobber you with many kisses of love,... ¤ in this world it's not good to live without love, to live without love." "¤ Dove, what are you doing here on your own?" "¤ I want to come into your nest, here in my heart... ¤ and let the world go round and take its place... ¤ while we shout into the wind "Viva el amor"!" "¤ Let me love you and slobber you with many kisses of love,... ¤ in this world it's not good to live without love, to live without love." "That's it." "This will last us for two days." "Well, that's good, because I'm not moving from here,... just in case some boat passes by, to make some signs at it." "And if there's a plane?" "Well, no point in shouting at it." "We won't poison ourselves?" "The Indians eat grass, even dogs and cats." "Even monkeys." "No, that's just one of your uncle's crazy stories." "Raúl, respect my Uncle!" "But he's a liar!" "Look where we ended up!" "All thanks to one of his stories." "~ Try the stew." "~ Try it yourself!" "~ Scaredy-cat." "~ OK, OK!" "Come on." "Oh, it burns my stomach!" "Oh, oh, my stomach!" "Ow, my stomach, I'm dying!" "Ow, my stomach!" "~ Raúl!" "~ I'm dying!" "Raúl, forgive me!" "I didn't know these herbs were poisonous!" "Raúl, forgive me, Raúl!" "What's your game?" "What was that for?" "Just so you don't mock me!" "How's the stew really?" "You can try it." "How tasty!" "~ Look!" "~ What?" "Who's that?" "That's Barbarossa, look." "~ Barbarossa?" "~ Sure." "But he's beardless, and besides, he's got red hair." "Could he be a cannibal?" "~ No, he's not a cannibal." "~ No?" "That way of walking..." "I know him." "Yes." "~ Of course it's him!" "~ Who, Barbarossa?" "~ No, my Uncle!" "~ Great!" "~ Uncle!" "~ Mr. Andrew!" "Uncle!" "Uncle!" "Amy!" "Amy!" "Uncle!" "Mr. Andrew!" "Amy!" "Amy!" "Uncle!" "Amy!" "~ Uncle!" "~ Amy!" "~ Uncle!" "~ Amy, my girl!" "Raúl!" "Uncle!" "Thank you, Dear God, for giving them back alive!" "Thank you, God, thank you!" "Amy, Raúl!" "Uncle Andrew, it's you, you're here!" "You found us!" "Mr. Andrew, we thought you'd never find us!" "God is very great, very great!" "He led me to you."
