GITTES: Didn't you talk to a man here-- few days ago...wore glasses... he...[The Boy nods yes.] GITTES: What did you talk about, mind my asking? BOY: The water. GITTES: What about the water? BOY: -- when it comes. GITTES: What'd you tell him? BOY: Comes in different parts of the river -- every night a different part.

The beginning sounds quite like 'The Sunken Cathedral' by Debussy.
