Luca

Listen, Tommaso,

do we really need to fish near the island?

- Eh, you worry too much. - I don't know.

What if the old stories are true?

Oh, come on, Giacomo.

You really believe in sea monsters?

Too many strange things have been seen in these waters.

They're all just stories.

Tall tales to keep us away from a great fishing spot.

But, Tommaso... - We're fine.

Ah, that's more like it.

What is that?

[OPERATIC MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING]

You missed. Let's go,

before it comes back for us.

I told you they were real.

Oh, what a monster!

Horrifying!

Fish out of the barn! Fish out of the barn!

No, no, no!

Mom's gonna kill me!

Caterina!

- - Wait!

Whoa!

Oh, good morning, Mr. Branzino.

- And also, I'm sorry. -

Well, how's Mrs. Branzino?

Hi, Luca.

Excuse me, ma'am. Have you...

Yes.

Giuseppe, get back here!

You want to run off like your buddy Enrico?

Because I've got news for you. He's either dead, or he's

out there. Somewhere. Seeing the world.

But he's probably dead.

Phew. Okay, that's everyone.

Monalisa, why are you smiling?

Anyone else in there?

Giuseppe.

What did we just talk about?

Oh, Giuseppe.

All right. Let's head out.

- Hello. - Good morning.

Hi, Mrs. Aragosta. - Hey, Luca!

Good morning! Morning!

Okay. All clear.

Let me know if you need anything.

Anyone?

No? Okay.

Giuseppe...

- -

Oh.

Huh?

- -

Land monsters! Everybody, under the rock!

Huh?

Luca!

Lunch is ready!

Be right there!

Come on! We gotta get back.

You're two minutes late.

- Was there a boat? Huh? Uh...

- Did you hide? - Yes, Mom.

Because if they catch even a glimpse of you...

You think they come around to meet new friends, huh?

- No. - Make small talk.

- I... I don't. - No.

- They're here to do murders. - Uh-huh.

So, I'm just making sure you know.

Thanks, Mom.

When I was a kid,

we'd go weeks without seeing a boat,

and let me tell you, they did not have motors.

Just a sweaty land monster with a paddle.

- Hi, Grandma. Mwah. - Hey, Bubble.

- Hi, Dad. - Luca!

Look at Pinchy-pessa. She's molting.

- Oh, it's magnificent. -

Now, here's a champion show crab if I ever saw one.

- Oh, nice. - Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Don't look her in the eye! - Sorry.

But don't apologize. She can sense weakness.

- - Oh!

Come eat, Luca. Come on.

We better beat those Branzinos at the crab show this year.

Everyone thinks Bianca Branzino's so great

with her prize-winning crabs

and amazing dolphin impression. Please!

Anyone can do that.

Right?

I don't know why dolphins even sound like that.

You know, why don't they just talk?

- Luca. - Huh?

What's on your mind?

Uh... Uh... Well, I was just wondering...

Where do boats come from?

The land monster town. Just above the surface.

I beat a guy at cards there once.

- - Mom! What are you doing?

He's old enough to hear about it.

You've been to the surface and done the change?

No! No! The end! Shut it down!

I was just curious.

Yeah? Well, the curious fish gets caught.

We do not talk, think, discuss, contemplate,

or go anywhere near the surface! Got it?

Yes, Mom.

Here. Now let's get back to work.

Hey.

Look me in the eye.

You know I love you, right?

I know, Mom.

We're a little worried about him, right?

No, thanks! I'm full.

Huh?

Hmm.

Whoa.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Boo.

Huh?

It's fine. I'm not human.

Oh! Thank goodness.

- Here, hold this. -

Uh... Do you live around here?

Down here? No, no, no. I just came for my stuff.

Ooh.

Uh, hey! Wait, that's mine!

Sir? You forgot your harpoon and...

Oh, yeah. Thanks!

What? What are you doing?

No, no!

Ahh! Oh, no!

Help me!

First time?

Of course it is! I'm a good kid!

- - Hey, relax.

Breathe.

Whoa.

Well? Isn't it great?

No!

It's bad, and I'm not supposed to be up here.

Good day.

Thank you.

Good... Good day. Again.

Grandma,

did you really go up to the...

Okay, everyone. This is, uh, Smuca.

Yeah. He's in charge now. Got it?

- Wow. - Aah!

That was hard to watch.

Here.
