BEARDED MAN
If you keep on interfering, you’ll end up in hospital.
INTERMEDIARY
Will anything happen to the ship?
BEARDED MAN
No.
INTERMEDIARY
I just wanted to know.
He goes back to the table with Atenagoras. The bearded man gestures at the girl, who is dressed now.
BEARDED MAN
Attention.
She stands in front of him.
BEARDED MAN
You must swim to number six, hug him and ignite the bomb but after we move away
from here. Do you understand?
NUMBER TWENTY
Yes, lieutenant.
The bearded man takes a few dollars out of his pocket and hands them over to the intermediary.
He receives the money as a sailor brings another life jacket. The girl puts the life jacket on and moves towards the railings.
BEARDED MAN
Are you ready?
NUMBER TWENTY
Yes lieutenant.
BEARDED MAN
One, two and three.
The girl jumps into the sea as the motor groans. The ship goes faster while everybody waits.
An explosion goes on in the middle of the darkness, illuminating the ship with a pinkish light.
BEARDED MAN
Mr. Intermediary, let’s go back to base.
INTERMEDIARY
Yes, sir.


Chucho
EXT. LUXURIOUS SHIP- NIGHT
A sailor moves with a tray full of drinks, at first sight he looks strange, but then he seems even stranger. He has long arms as hairs sprout from under his clothes and he walks with bow legs. He has the face of an ape and wears a sailor’s hat as he moves across the ship and disappears in the shadows.
The waves roar in the background as an old man wearing a suit with many decorations walks across the scene.
He has a big stomach, a wide forehead and wears a pair of glasses, and holds four books under his right arm and three under the other one. He puts them on the floor before sitting on them.
CUT TO
EXT. LUXURIOUS SHIP- NIGHT
Another old gentleman appears, wearing a suit full of decorations. Thin, bold and with a suitcase, he looks at the man sitting on the books.
FAT PROFESSOR
Hi.
THIN PROFESSOR
Why are you sitting on the books?
FAT PROFESSOR
Who?
THIN PROFESSOR
You.
The fat man looks at his feet and nods.
FAT PROFESSOR
Thank you.
He sits on a chair and the thin man sits down on another one as a sailor appears.
THIN PROFESSOR
Can you bring me a table, please?
The sailor disappears through the door.
A middle-aged woman wearing a long dress and with a child in her arms appears. The child wears a small suit with decorations.
WOMAN
Good evening, wise men.
The men kiss her hand and smile at the child.
The hairy sailor puts a small table in front of the thin professor, before leaving the scene.
Homer appears through the door, wearing a suit with decorations. He coughs.
HOMER
I beg your pardon, wise men, for interrupting your thoughts.
They all stand up.
