:' Emma what are you doing here?

Rikki:
Well you came down.

Emma:
You were meant to stay up top and throw down a rope or something.

Rikki:
What am I, a mindreader, and what rope?

Rikki:
About 10 seconds after we touch water we... we grow these...

Cleo:
...and it vanishes when we're dry. And that's the same with you two right? The tails are like...

Emma:
...exactly like...

Rikki:
We look like mermaids.

Emma:
Our secret. Our responsibility. Whatever happens we're in this. together.

Rikki:
That doesn't mean we're married, does it?

Emma:
[laughs] Now that was actually

Cleo:
This is a catastrophe of the highest order! Moisturizer is mainly water.

Rikki:
(not paying attention) If dolphins can swim for miles, so can we.

Cleo:
We can't moisturize EVER again!

Rikki:
We could swim all the way to Fiji, could you imagine that?

Cleo:
Our skin will be dry and wrinkly! We'll be Geriatrics by the time we're 21.

Cleo:
Lewis, What do you think of Rikki?

Lewis:
You know those stone fish that look kind of look like a rock, yet can shoot out enough poison to kill entire football team in half a second? She kind of reminds me one of those she kind of reminds me of one of those.

Lewis:
Rikki, can I sit?

Rikki:
I certainly hope so, just not with me. [pushes the magazine she was reading on to a seat]'

',Lewis:
' I know we've had our differences. Um, thanks (to waiter) but I want to know what's wrong with Cleo.

Rikki:
What makes you think there's anything wrong?

Lewis:
Well, I've asked her to go to Miriam's party likea hundred times and every time she's changed her mind.

Rikki:
Maybe she doesn't like you. Did you think about that?.

Lewis:
Yes, actually that did cross my mind. But then I thought: Oh no, no, she hangs round with you so her standards must be pretty low.

Miriam:
Sick people make me feel... well, sick you should go.

[After vaporizing Miriam's pool]

Rikki:
Never liked pool parties anyway

[about Byron when he leaves]

Emma:
Nice board.

Cleo:
Nice pecs.

Rikki:
Nice attitude.

Rikki:
This probably goes without saying, but if you tell, we maim you.

Lewis McCartney:
I'm not that stupid. If anybody found out, you'd end up as science experiments.

Emma:
I quit the swim team today.

Cleo Sertori:
Oh Emma, I know how much that means to you.

Emma:
Still, what could I do?

Cleo Sertori:
This whole thing is just out of control. It's just too big.

Lewis McCartney:
Let me get this straight. [points his hands to Emma] You freeze things, [points his hands to Cleo] you explode things [points his hands to Rikki] you boil things, and you all grow tails. It's just too bizarre.

Emma:
Bizarre? Yep. Still sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's not so good.

Cleo Sertori:
It's...[pause]... It's...[pause]...I don't have a word for it.

Rikki:
I do, three of them. Totally, absolutely, awesome.

Kim:
(Knocks door) Come on Cleo you can't stay in there forever (Knocks door) Cleo!

Cleo:
No no no no no no no. Kim: Cleo...Cleo! Dad says you have to hurry up if you want to lift to school. Cleo: It’s OK Kim... I’ll walk.

E I missed training today I haven’t missed it in six years. C see see how bad this is we have to tell somebody how to parent a doctor the police. R and end up a mermaid in a straight jacket where is my stressed skin Forget it. E Rikki's us right Cleo, we can’t tell anyone. C not even Mom. E no no parents. C but I tell mom everything. E well not this time it’s too dangerous people just won’t understand we could be locked up. C why would we be locked up. E because were different because we couldn’t do things that other girls can’t do because they’re scared of us. C fine I won’t tell anyone except Lewis. R Cleo not Lewis not anyone. C ok,ok don’t worry I’m really good at keeping secrets. M now it’s party time people no excuses in honor of our very own surfing God the beautiful Byron for winning his special prize. C what price. M whatever they give her for surfing. E The coast surfing classic he won by a mile. M I was having a spray tan but I’m sure he was amazing R I am sure I might have a blank. R sorry I’ll be flossing my teeth at night. L hey C. C oh Hi Lewis nothing much has been happening with me nothing much at all just the same old thing. L C are you going to M‘s party. C of course I’m going. M girls bring your best bikinis it’s a pool party. L right well seeing as you’re going. C i’ve change my mind I’m not going C it’s so uncool to miss one of M‘s parties she won’t ask us ever again. R so that’s a plus. C it’s a pool party I know it’s dangerous but maybe if I told L about us he could look out for us. R yes you did the right thing C none of us are going. E what I think we should go for Byron not for M Sir things just like swimming it takes a lot of hard work and training he needs to know everyone’s supporting him. R do you like Byron don’t you. E no way. R well you sound like an ad for breakfast cereal. E well if we learn about what’s happening to us we might be able to control it enough to go to the party. C really? R what’s to learn retouch water and 10 seconds later we go out tails. E maybe it’s about developing some discipline exercise and some control. C perfect that’s great Control then we could go to the party I’ll text L. R you do realize you’re going to have to swim to test this theory. C what no way forget it. R come on it’s not even deep here. C no. R please C. C no no. E fine come on R E Control and discipline starts with the mind of concentrate no tail no tail. Both:
No tail, no tail, no tail, no tail...NO TAIL! L Who leaked the information this is my secret highly classified fishing spot someone must have planned. C sorry.

R where naked L. L just a quick dip it. E goodbye L. L Arthur was there. C we’re never going to be invited anywhere cool ever again and why because we’ve got tails. E hi swimming career is over. C I just have one question, why me? I didn’t ask for any of this to happen. E you think you’ve got problems I’ve been training to be a swimmer since I was six months old. C well say goodbye to that dream because where merFreaks now.
