We have several kinds of life jackets.
BEARDED MAN
Can I see them?

INTERMEDIARY
Bring the life jackets.
ATENAGORAS
How will the manoeuvre be, my lieutenant?
BEARDED MAN
The bomb will float in the sea and will explode when the ship gets near it.
ATENAGORAS
I thought you wanted manoeuvres under the sea.
BEARDED MAN
This is what it is.
ATENAGORAS
Submarines go under the sea.
BEARDED MAN
He’ll swim over the surface, anything wrong with it?
ATENAGORAS
Very well.

EXT SHIP- NIGHT
The bearded man writes something on a notebook.
A few sailors arrive with the life jackets and wait for the bearded man to finish with his plans while the intermediary and Atenagoras drink aguardiente. The din of the motors indicates they’re moving fast.
ATENAGORAS
Excuse me lieutenant but the life jackets have arrived.
The bearded man examines one by one the different kinds of life jackets. Then he offers a life jacket to the young man.
BEARDED MAN
Attention.
The young man stands up and puts the life jacket on.
BEARDED MAN
The life jacket is very good. Can I have the reference?
A sailor gives one to the bearded man, who writes something down in his notebook.
INTERMEDIARY
Why don’t we give the young man a glass of aguardiente? He might feel less nervous.
BEARDED MAN
Do you think he’s a nun?
ATENAGORAS
The sea is cold at this time.
BEARDED MAN
He’ll get wet for about four minutes.
The bearded man gestures to the young man with the bomb.
