But he is dead too.
He died on a beach.

:02:04
- In the war?
- No, in the summer. When I was 13.

:02:10
You picnic on my land,
but you are welcome.

:02:13
- What?
- Would you like to hear the story?

:02:16
- Sure.
- Is that why you came to Florence?

:02:18
- To hear the story of my life?
- I'm just trying to figure you out.

:02:22
Try that. I make it myself.
:02:24
- Tomorrow I will fly...
- Hello?

:02:26
...from these hills in a balloon.
:02:28
- What?
- The day was hot...

:02:31
...and the water was cold.
- What day?

:02:33
The day my father died.
:02:35
- Your father died?
- A long time ago.

:02:36
What?
:02:40
My father stood
at the edge of the beach...

:02:43
...put his toe in the water,
and at the instant he did...

:02:46
...he fell over dead. Just like that.
:02:50
This is... What's your name?
:02:51
- Carlos del Montanaro.
- And this is Bobby Deerfield.

:02:54
- Do you know Bobby Deerfield?
- Oh, yes.

:02:56
I am very honored.
Bobby Deerfield.

:03:05
Now l... I must go.
:03:07
Have a good time, huh?
:03:09
Be careful with snakes.
:03:12
Who was that?
:03:14
Carlos del Montanaro.
:03:16
Where was I? Oh, yes, my...
:03:18
My father's toe in the water, yes.
:03:21
As soon as his toe
touched the cold water...

:03:24
...he fell over dead. Just like that.
:03:27
And then the people ran to him...
:03:29
...and they looked at him...
:03:31
...this big walrus of a man.
:03:33
Jesus, he was so enormous.
:03:36
And...
:03:37
Then someone put their
ear to him and said:

:03:39
"He is dead."
:03:41
And then someone said:
:03:43
"There's a tiny hand."
And no one understood.

:03:47
And the woman began to scream
about this tiny hand...

:03:49
...that was coming
from under my father.

:03:51
And they rolled my father over...
:03:53
...and they found
a little child under him.

:03:56
With a pail and toys and a shovel.
