Elliot, what's going on between you and Rikki?
Don't worry, I promise our love won't get in the way of your friendship.
Come on, let's sit.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Did he, you know see anything?
Other than when I flashed him?
[Emma gives Rikki a dirty look]
Lighten up, he doesn't suspect a thing.
[In the JuiceNet Cafe, it's come to light that Elliot has a crush on Rikki; Rikki, Emma and Cleo go to talk behind the pool table, as Elliot remains at their table]
It's so sweet! He has a crush on you!
[obviously put off by this revelation] Yeah, sweet like a lemon! [to Emma] Did you know about this?
Well...not exactly. [Rikki looks out the window; Emma continues] Rikki, don't hurt his...
Don't even think about asking me to humour him. It's not gonna happen.
Can you at least be gentle?
He's a sweet kid.
You're all disturbed! Why is everything sweet and nice all the time?
Rikki, it's his first crush! Don't you remember what it was like to be a kid?
No, and besides, this is just...all because I saved his life. It's like pulling a thorn out of a dog's foot.
And you'd do that gently, wouldn't you?
No! I'd do it fast, and hope I didn't get bitten. OK, I don't do the whole "relationship" thing very well.
It's not a relationship. He's eleven.
OK, I don't do the whole "people liking me" thing very well.
What's there to do?
Fine, tell me what to say to get him off my case...and I'll say it.
[brief pause, Cleo thinks, shakes her head, and shrugs]
I've got nothing.
Me either.
[Rikki walks into the JuiceNet Cafe; Emma and Cleo are already there, and have worried looks on their faces; Emma's arms are crossed]
Hey, guys, what's up?
We can't find Elliot.
He'll be around. Just...relax.
He's not, Rikki. We've looked all over, and he's not anywhere. It's not like him to just disappear.
Have you told your parents?
No way. They'd freak out. It's like he's run away. You know, he was acting all weird last night, not his usual, happy self.
[Rikki looks down at the floor, and starts rubbing her neck with her left hand]
[she leans her head forward a bit] What?
Oh, no. [her sentence trails off from the start] It's probably just nothing...
Rikki!
OK, I told him that I wasn't interested, but I think I was gentle.
[Emma and Cleo both glare at her, knowing she's not telling the truth; Rikki grimaces]
OK, OK. [as Rikki speaks, Emma closes her eyes, shakes her head, re-opens her eyes, and bites her lower lip in frustration] I told him that even if he was older, taller, and a lot less, I think the words were "squeaky clean," that I wouldn't be interested, and that he should just back off, and leave me alone.
Rikki!
He's just a kid!
He kept bugging me!
[finally uncrossing her arms] You keep acting like he's committing a crime for having a crush on you. [Emma sighs, shakes her head at Rikki, then briefly looks at Cleo before turning back to Rikki] We've gotta go find him before my parents find out, but if anything happens to him, it'll be your fault.
[Emma storms out; Cleo follows, shaking her head as she walks past Rikki; now guilt-ridden, Rikki turns around and sits at a table, leaning her chin on her hand; Lewis walks in, slaps a bucket hat down, and sits across from her]
Hey! [he notices Rikki's upset] Why the long face?
[quietly, with her chin still on her hand] Elliot.
Oh-ho-ho! Oh, lemme guess. You tried to let him down easy, and now he-he's mortally crushed.
[taking her chin off her hand] He's gone missing, Lewis. This is serious. Have you seen him anywhere?
No. No, I haven't. Not since Lenny's. Maybe you should try thinking like a little kid.
[scoffs] Easier said than done. Where would you hide if you were a little kid?
Somewhere you'd never find me.
[Rikki thinks hard, then smiles]
That's it!
[she gets up and dashes out of the cafe]
Wha-?! All right. [throwing his hands up] Be mysterious.
[when Elliot is saved by Rikki]
How did you do that?
Get on and shut up!
Harrison, you have a lot of nose hairs. It's a real forest!
Aunt Thea, that skirt - did you borrow our picnic rug? Haha!
I can't help thinking about what that old woman said. 'Beware the full moon...'
We're mermaids, not werewolves.
(grabbing someone's water bottle and pouring it on the ground) I just love the look of water.
Have you ever thought about how weird people look? Their legs just don't look right.
You need to sit down.
Now, take fish: they're sensibly designed.
Can I get you anything?
I'd love a cheese sandwich...on rye bread..with sardines......actually, forget the cheese and the bread. Just bring me sardines!
(in the water) Come to Mako Island with me. Its a most wonderful place. We can all live down there forever. (a loving sigh)
(Rikki having dried Emma, but she is still a mermaid) I like my tail just the way it is. I think its perfect!
Lewis is usually not like this.
Raise your hands if you don't trust him.
Agreed.

Oh, and Lewis, you can call me Linda.
Linda? Why?
DDr. Denman
That's my name.
