There are more important things than seeing how long you can hold your breath for and frolicking with the dolphins.
I don't frolic! I glide!

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Rikki and Emma told me about your dad.
Great! So now the whole world knows my dad's a criminal. What would you do Lewis?
I'd change my name and move to the country... but that's just me.
You're no help.
He denied everything, it's really awful. I mean, what could I say? "I know you're lying dad, 'cause my mermaid friends saw you fishing close to the nesting beach."
He was using illegal nets too.
It's true, and they didn't have those grid things in them.
This just gets worse and worse.
What's going on?
We've been... you know... swimming.
It's the best thing, the reef is out of this world!
That's great, so has anyone been able to finish that calculus homework? Question 7's a nightmare.
[Lewis, crouched down, is uncovering some turtle eggs buried in the sand. The three girls, in their bikinis, arrive.]
[To the girls] Guys, look. Turtle eggs.
[Happily] Ohhh! [Crouches down in front of the eggs] Little turtles are so cute. I hope they all make it.
[Lewis covers up the eggs. As Cleo stands up, Lewis wipes his hands and stands up.]
So, you wanna show me something?
[To Lewis] [Smiling] Yes, I do. [To the other two girls] Ready?
[The girls smile at each other, then run towards the water, as Lewis goes to sit on a rock. The girls dive into the water, Cleo taking the lead, Emma behind her, and Rikki bringing up the rear, and transform into mermaids, as Lewis looks on.]
[Nods while smiling] Cool.
[The girls swim together happily.]
CMiss Chatham
Try this...timed well wouldn't you say?
Ah, yea, thanks. Nearly got salt water in my eye, would've stung.
CMiss Chatham
It does sting doesn't it? But not when you're actually underwater. Why is that I wonder?
I don't know.
CMiss Chatham
Lots of things are a mystery. Still, you've got time to learn. Staying dry! That's the big one
[On the phone]
So have you decided what time for the party tonight? ...
I know, but... I just don't see how I can have the party this year. Not with recent developments... Your new job! ...The dolphin tank at the Marine Park.
Emma! This is tradition we're talking about!
The what?!
Yes of course the tank's full of water Emma, they're aquatic mammals... Yes I DO remember what water does to me, but I'm not going to let that ruin my life.
[Cleo is trying to blow dry her tail with a hair dryer when she hears a knock on the door.]
Cleo, it's me, open up.
[Cleo opens the door, allowing Emma to enter. As Cleo resumes blow drying her tail, Emma closes the door and crouches down to wipe Cleo's tail with a towel.]
[holding the locket] This might be safer with you.
With me? no you found it.
And I nearly managed to get it stolen. I know how much you like it. Here.
You're sure?
Anyone who can hide a mermaid tail in the middle of a party has got what it takes to look after that.
Rikki, at least try and pretend you're having fun.
But I'm not.
So, this is the place that turned you into a fish.
A mermaid, Lewis.
Yeah, that's what I meant. I don't know, I expected something a little more Club Med.
So, how did you get here?
Swim. There’s an underwater entrance.
Swim? So the hike was optional. I could have swum?
Fifty meters, without coming up for air?
Right, point taken. Air is good.
I can't go near the river as...
Yeah I know, the whole beach whale thing.
Mermaid, Lewis.
Yes that is exactly what I meant.
Lewis is one of them too.
I can't see Lewis... as a mermaid.
No dork, he'd be a merman.
I'm a Portugese Man-Of-War.
[Audience doesn't react]
It's a jellyfish.
[Everyone claps]
