Ichthyander!
:23:41
The sea devil!
:23:46
If you don't mind.
:23:48
It's my son, Ichthyander.
:23:51
The first citizen
of the underwater republic.
:24:12
Change your clothes
and come back here.
:24:14
All right, father.
:24:24
As a young boy, he contracted
an incurable lung disease.
:24:29
In a desperate attempt to save him
:24:32
I replaced his lungs with
the gills of a shark.
:24:37
This risky operation
was a success.
:24:43
That's when I got the idea of
creating an underwater republic.
:24:49
I bow before your surgeon's skill.
:24:54
But your idea of the underwater
republic is an utopian dream.
:24:58
What's to prevent poor and rich
from springing up again?
