Quotes
-
Bella : [in Moon Pool] I know a coach is supposed to be tough, but the way that she was talking to Will was just mean.
Cleo : So what did you do?
Bella : Well, I wanted to see how long she could hold her breath, but I didn't, I just walked away.
[shakes her head]
Bella : I don't know how he puts up with her.
Cleo : You did the right thing, then.
Rikki : [smiling] Not necessarily.
Cleo : Hang on, you were the one telling Bella to stay away from Will in the first place.
Rikki : That was before he found out she was a mermaid. Now the best way to keep that secret is to make sure you're right there beside him. So... I say, follow your instincts.
Bella : What instincts?
Rikki : The ones that are telling you to get close to him.
Bella : But they're not. They're just telling me that Sophie shouldn't work him so hard.
Cleo : Are you sure...?
Bella : He doesn't see us as a thing, and neither do I.
Rikki : Then get close to him to save him from the Devil Coach. Whatever! We need to keep an eye on him.

Cleo : [in Moon Pool, sad Bella] What's happened?
Bella : I told Will to stay away from me.
Rikki : [as Cleo glances at her] I said to follow your instincts. If they're telling you you don't wanna be around him, then...
[shakes her head, and Bella looks away]
Cleo : But that's not what they're telling you, are they?
Bella : You guys were right, I... I really like him.
Rikki : Then why tell him to back off?
Bella : Because
[shrugs]
Bella : he doesn't like me. I mean, he likes me, but not 'me' me. He... he likes the mermaid, the one that he can swim with.
Cleo : [nods] Then you did the right thing.
Bella : No, he knows my secret! I mean, I'm sure he won't tell anyone, but how do we know?
Rikki : [shakes her head] I guess we won't.
Bella : [closes her eyes] I made such a mess.
Cleo : Welcome to the club. We've all told someone our secret, and we've all worried about whether it was the right thing to do.
[shakes her head]
Rikki : [shakes her head] Comes with being a mermaid. The important thing to remember though, is that... No matter how rotten we may feel, a mermaid always has a way of making herself feel better.
Bella : Swimming?
[smiles]
Rikki : [much later, the trio returns from retail therapy, laden with shopping bags] Oh, well, enough shopping, I think we've just about earned ourselves a juice!
