I made up the boat.
:39:04
I saw the name on a stamp.
:39:06
How was I to know
the bloody boat actually existed?

:39:24
That's Frankie,
:39:25
a couple of months before his dad left.
:39:29
And this is him now.
:39:34
Frankie's deaf, but he's a champion lip-reader.
:39:40
How old is he?
:39:42
Nine.
:39:43
And a half.
:39:46
Does he remember what his dad looks like?
:39:48
I don't remember what he looks like.
It's been a while.

:39:53
Does Frankie have any photographs
of his dad?

:39:56
No.
:39:58
You sure?
:39:59
Yes, I'm sure.
:40:07
Marie says you're only here for a week.
:40:10
I sail next Monday.
:40:12
Good, that's good. That fits in just right.
:40:18
Um...
:40:19
That must be some life,
seeing all those different places.

:40:25
You should know.
:40:27
You've been writing from them for years.
:40:33
You must think I'm completely mad,
asking a total stranger to do this.

:40:37
I don't know who the hell you are, but...
:40:41
...I'm asking you if you'll do it.
:40:45
I don't have much, but I'll pay you what I can.
