:38:03
You've got the wrong tool.
:38:07
Did you and Uncle Deel fight a lot
when you were kids?
:38:10
We had our problems...
:38:13
but our dad didn't put up
with too much nonsense.
:38:16
He was nice too, right?
He gave you that treasure.
:38:20
You mean those coins? That's right, he did.
:38:25
You know those coins ain't ordinary coins?
:38:28
What do you mean?
:38:31
- It's a long story.
- It's from pirates?
:38:34
No, not exactly. Do you know about Charon,
the ferryman of the dead?
:38:41
According to a legend,
when you pass into the realm of the dead...
:38:44
your spirit has to pay passage
to cross the river Styx into Hades.
:38:48
You have to pay Charon.
He's the ferryman. He's this winged demon.
:38:52
The price, one gold coin per soul.
:38:56
If you don't have a coin...
:38:58
then you're condemned to wander
the banks of the river for 100 years.
:39:02
Like in hell?
:39:07
No.
:39:09
Just waiting.
:39:13
A long time ago,
my father went for a walk to the river.
:39:17
At the ferry crossing, he sees this old
Mexican ferryman, all dressed in rags...
:39:22
pays him a nickel, crosses over,
doesn't think much of it.
:39:26
When he gets home,
he reaches his hand in his pocket...
:39:29
and pulls out a gold coin
that hadn't been there before.
:39:33
But my dad couldn't stop thinking
about that poor man.
:39:37
How much food that coin would buy.
:39:40
So the next day, he crosses the river again.
:39:44
He gives the man a gold coin.
:39:46
The man thanks him
and takes him across the river.
:39:49
But when he got home, he reaches in...
:39:53
and now he's got two gold coins.
:39:55
Same thing happened the next day,
and the day after:
:39:58
Five coins.
