Content preview
Life of Pi (Part Three)95: The author finally returns, discussing the arrival of Mr. Okamoto and
Mr. Chiba to Tomatlan. At first arriving in Tomatan, the wrong city,
they travel over 1500 KM via a ferry boat and broken car to reach
Tomatlan, their actual destination. After 41 hours of unpleasantness,
they arrive at the Benito Juarez infirmary and interview Pi for hours,
recording everything. In the end they give a copy of the entire tape
and a copy of the report to the author.
96: Pi meets the Japanese men, introducing themselves as interviewers on
behalf of Japan, trying to learn about the sinking of the Tsimtsum.
They tell him they had a good trip in between discussing between
themselves in Japanese. They hand Pi a cookie and then start an
interview.
97: “The Story”
98: After asking for a break and giving Pi another cookie, the Japanese
men discuss how they think Pi is crazy. They also note how Pi is
hoarding cookies, offering him yet another and leaving the room
temporarily.
99: The two Japanese men return and inform Pi that his story is not
believable.
⮚ He asks why and they mention that bananas do not float, to
which Pi proves them wrong by floating two bananas in front of
them. Their second point is the carnivorous island, which seems
impossible. Pi states that it is unlikely that certain other plants
would make sense if one had never seen them, such as a Venus
Fly trap. The missing tiger is the third argument to which Pi
mentions that animals escape all the time and are never found.
He is angry that his story is “hard to believe” and they step aside
again, commenting that he stole their entire lunches.
