Luca (2021) quotes

View Quote Alberto: [over his growing jealousy of Luca spending more time with Giulia and Luca possibly going to school with her] Uh, Giulia, your school, does it take all kinds of people? I mean, what if some of them were not human?
Luca: Alberto…
Alberto: What if some were-- Oh, I don’t know, sea monsters?
Giulia: Sea monsters?
Alberto: I doubt your school would even accept sea monsters, right?
Luca: [laughs nervously; angrily] Ah, that’s a weird joke, Alberto.
Alberto: Yeah, I know. It’s kinda hard to imagine. So, let me just show you! [dives in the water]
Luca: No!
Giulia: [to Alberto] Come on.
Luca: Giulia, wait!
Giulia: We don’t have time to goof around. Huh? AAAAHH! :[Alberto, now in sea monster form, rises out of the water, looking silhouetted with the sunset in a crouched, intimidating position; whimpers in fear] Help! Don’t hurt us!
Alberto: See? I knew this would...
Luca: [pointing at Alberto] SEA MONSTER! [Alberto gasps with a heartbroken and betrayed expression]

View Quote Daniela Paguro: I know you, and I know what's best for you!

View Quote Daniela: Luca! Where have you been?

Daniela: What did you just say?!
Lorenzo: What's wrong with your foot?
[Luca looks down, one of his feet is still human and screams in horror]

Grandma: It’s my fault. I sent him to look for sea cucumbers.

View Quote Ercole Visconti: You should've left when I told you. Now, I'M GONNA KILL SOME SEA MONSTERS!!! [laughs evilly]

View Quote Luca: [at the island; asks what the markings on the wall mean] Alberto? What are those marks on the wall? Tell me what they mean.
Alberto: [sighs] I started when my dad left.
Luca: You were living here alone for that many days?
Alberto: [sniffles] I just stopped counting after a while. He said I was old enough to be on my own. I just thought that… [sighs] …maybe he’d change his mind. Honestly, though, I get it. He’s better off without me. You are, too.
Luca: That’s not true.
Alberto: Yes, it is. You’re not like me. You’re the good kid. [begins to cry] And I’m just the kid that ruins everything.
Luca: Silenzio, bruno. That’s just the dumb voice in your head. You taught me that. And getting a Vespa? Seeing the world…
Alberto: JUST LET IT GO! OKAY?! Look, you and I should have never been friends in the first place!
Luca: Don’t say that. Alberto?
Alberto: GET OUTTA HERE (NOW!) I’M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU AGAIN!
Luca: Okay, I’ll go. I’ll go win the race.
Alberto: What?
Luca: Yeah. Yeah! And then the Vespa will be ours! And we’ll ride away together!
Alberto: Luca, that’s crazy.
Luca: Well, maybe I’m crazy. TAKE ME GRAVITY!!!! [jumps off the tower]
Alberto: Luca! But what are you doing?!
Luca: I’m okay. I’ll be back tomorrow. I’m gonna fix this!

View Quote Luca: I can't do it without you.
Alberto: But you're never without me. The next time that you jump off the cliff, or tell bruno to quit bothering you, that's me.
Luca: But how am I going to know you're okay?
Alberto: [hugs him] You got me off the island, Luca. I'm okay.

View Quote [in a post-credit scene, a ball of light from a figure's head floats through darkness. The light shines brighter on the figure. It is Uncle Ugo, swimming backwards]
Ugo: [closing lines] Some people think I'm mad to live in the deep. I think they're the ones, who are mad, not me, the one who's mad, it's them. It's a nice life. A simple life. It's away from the hustle and bustle, and all the stuff that you don't want. [eats a bit of food] Mmm! Whale carcass. Anyway, you're gonna have fun. You get to hear me talk. I can talk without stopping, sometimes for, maybe, 12 hours, and you get to listen, so you're lucky. [One of Luca's fish faces him] Well done.
[The fish swims away sideways]

View Quote [The scene transitions. Luca with Alberto watches into a wall.]
Alberto: This will be a breeze. Just don’t get wet. [He starts to his march past]
Luca: Uh…
[Luca strides to follow him he stares at two fishermen were walking]
Luca: Actually, this town seems a little crowded.
Alberto: Hey! Silenzio, bruno. What’s wrong with you, stupido?
Fisherman #1: Huh?
Fisherman #2: [scoffs]
Luca: Huh! It worked.
Alberto: See? You just gotta follow my lead. [As he marches again]
