"it's a toss up" "do you think i'm predictable?" "let me answer your question with a question do you count how many times you chew each mouthful?" "that's not being predictable,that's just good health sense" "Emma roll in this conversation and snap you know what i think?"

",Lewis" "what do you know about that old Chathem woman?" "nothing no one does,why are you googleing her name?" "Lewis,the day i tell you my business is the day i care what you think" "Zane,right now people just think you're an obnoxious,thoughtless,spoil little rich kid let us not add ?"

"back off,OK?" "alright hey,Zane,what you doing?" "busy to busy for me?" "look,i'm going shopping for some belly button rings and i want a guy's opinions" "...drag to shore by 16 year old Louise Chatham -what?" "how does it feel to be a hero,Louise?" "i don't feel like that i just saw him in the surf and drag him to shore" "Mr. Hancock told us something big,a monster saved him,but his boat sank about 20 miles from shore,how did you make it back?" "i'm not sure,but i didn't see any sea monster out there the fisherman Mr. Hancock provided me with the drawing of what he saw... it's her,isn't it?" "what?" "Mrs." "Chathem that's her i'm on to something,Lewis this is big" "well?" "well you're a red clown ?" "i look awful,what have you done to me?"

"why me?" "i'm running late for work,here what do i do with this?" "Cleo hey" "wait,what do i do?" "what if it doesn't dry lighter how should i know?" "just tell her she looks OK but it doesn't hi Zane,bye Zane" "i'm actually here to see Emma i need to see her urgently you can't she's not home?" "well,yeh,she is,but you can't" "Zane,wait Zane,you can't go up there" "Emma,where are you?" "i need to talk to you you can't go in there,is private" "Emma,Emma,i just need to talk to you for 2 seconds" "Emma,come on,come out" "there you are" "Emma,i need to talk to you about something really important what do you want,Zane?" "where did Rikki go?" "does that matter?" "look,the thing is i know you're not gonna approve of this and i don't wanna compromise your feeling for her anyway,OK?" "but that old woman,Mrs. Chathem i need to talk to her,and i don't know where she is" "Mrs. Chathem?" "you might wanna talk to her,Zane,but i'm pretty sure she doesn't wanna talk to you we've had our differences,sure but,i think she knows more about that sea creature thing then she's letting on" "why do you think... i remember i was on her boat,and i had saw this really really weird stuff that she collected from all over the place but before i could get a proper look at this,the old boat start to sinking and i paniced" "i was trapped and i was going down really fast,i had no chance to escape i started to black out and that's when i saw what i saw" "Emma,i need answers,this is all i can think about she knows something about the sea creature look,Zane i don't know what happen to you but,Mrs. Chathem's my friend and it's your fault her boat sank" "you're not gonna help me,are you?" "OK,it's always a pleasure,i'll find her myself thanks for the help so what are we gonna do?" "i don't know but i feel really uncomfortable about this and your hair,the red,where does that go?" "it must have to be the change,i was mermaid when we dyed it,and now while i'm back to normal so is the hair" "so when you're a mermaid there's gonna be red again?" "i don't know but i can't believe we went through all that trouble for nothing so what are we gonna do about Zane?" "he's on to something maybe i should talk to him you?" "why would he listen to you?" "i know your secret,Louise in the 50s,you rescued a fisherman from a boat wreck back then you said you didn't see anything but you did,didn't you?" "i saw you sink my boat stop playing games you know something about the creature you've seen it too i know a lot of things but you don't,you're young and stupid" "Zane,leave her alone,you're scaring her" "i'm just asking her questions -i want you to leave her alone either that or you could come and help me feed the sharks you'd be the entree" "fine,if you don't want to talk to me,then i'll just have to have an enough look at your boat are you OK?" "but he's going to my boat but there's nothing on the boat,is there?" "he'd be wasting his time,right?" "right?" "there's a photo?" "there's a photo it's in an old middle chest so doesn't mean he's gonna be able to open it?" "do you really wanna take that chance?" "what's the photo of?" "three girls,Mrs. Chathem and her friends so prove she had friends with tails it's the same as the one in Mrs. Chathem's locket only bigger this is bad look,i have stuff to do bye and good luck" "what's that all about?" "look,we don't have time to worry about her at the moment" "Cleo's gotta get back to work and we need to find Zane,now" "done excellent what did you do?" "know anything about motors?" "no well then think of it as magic this is only gonna delay Zane for a while,so you should get going" "no,no,no more monster hunts especially around Mako Island why not?" "because i'm allergic to shark bites we'll be fine look,i'm on to something,something big i swear and i don't want to share the royalties with Lewis" "Lewis?" "yeh,i kind of promise him ?" "OK,well,if that's money involved real money i'm in" "Zane hey you wanna know why i won't go out with you?" "because you're obsessed this sea monster thing is nuts" "OK,thanks for sharing i mean it,drop it,and maybe we can talk yeh?" "when?" "are we going?" "yeh look,i've got to see this thing through i'm sorry,i'll see you later" "i am gonna sue those surfers guys settle down" "OK,kick it again nice one yeh,can you see Lewis do that?" "this is it" "see any sharks?" "we'll be fine,Nate come on,let's dive" "do you think they look happy?" "spectacularly stupidly happy do you think we ever look like that?" "hope not what do you think it was?" "what?" "that split them up what happen to the other two?" "maybe that's why Mrs. Chathem always gives us all that stuff about sticking together maybe something happen to her friends that she doesn't want it happen to us you know,secrets can tear people apart we've all got secrets" "just the particularly big one which luckly it's still a secret one that Zane isn't going to get so,we can trust each other right?" "right right and people who trust each other do things with each other i smell something coming" "?" "my hair back to normal no one even knows you're a redhead,it's only when you're a mermaid yeh,i know,but that's enough for me,i hate it what about change?" "what about good old dependable Emma?" "change ?" "hi,Emma" "hey,Byron -hi,Byron" "Byron something's different you look good did you done something to your hair?" "no,but,thanks" "now that was definitely a compliment i am telling you this was more than just a shaper or shadow i saw her as clear as day a mermaid" "?" "red hair follow by this long tail,Nate what?" "you're asking me?" "look,i'm going back out there this is real,now,there is a mermaid out there,and i'm gonna prove it who's coming with me?" "a mermaid?" "have you gone completely insane?" "well he saw something out there,coz when he come out of that water,he's like a scared little boy" "Nate,do me a favor and don't help,OK?" "so what exactly did this mermaid look like?" "she had red hair" "was she cute?" "i didn't see her face old or young?" "i don't know but i told you there was something about that old woman" "Mrs. Chathem has gray hair,Zane,she's not your mermaid yeh,maybe not,but she's somehow connected what about you,Nate,what exactly did you see?" "well nothing,i was on the surface by then" "Zane,i think the oxygen got cut off through your brain look,babe,maybe you need to chill for a while" "he saw me how?" "out of Mrs. Chathem's boat i was careless,i'm an idiot don't beat yourself up about it i mean look around,no one's gonna believe him he's not gonna let it go either,though" "alright,look,as long as you don't go in the water,he can't find you wait,where is Rikki?" "what's up with her lately?" "Zane,Zane,wait what?" "you wanna humiliate me some more?" "no audience,no point oh,that's?" "of you i wanna go out with you but the mermaid talk stops look,i like you,don't ask me why,coz i have no idea but i do no mermaids?" "that's the deal,take it or leave it" "OK,no mermaid"
