THEME SONG: I've got a special power that I'm

not afraid to use.

Come on, this is my adventure.

This is my fantasy.

It's all about living in the ocean, being wild and free.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.

I'm from the deep, blue underworld.

Land or sea, I've got the power if I just believe.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.

I'm from the deep, blue underworld.

Land or sea, the world's my oyster.

I'm the pearl, no ordinary girl.

[knocking on door]

DON (OFFSCREEN): You have a minute, sweetheart?

-Um, I'm in the bath, dad.

Can it wait?

DON (OFFSCREEN): I was thinking it might be nice for

us to have a picnic later.

All of us--

you and me and Kim and Sam.

-Have you mentioned this to Kim yet, dad?

-Why does she have to come to the beach with us?

-Well, I think the more, the merrier.

Don't you?

-No.

Anyway, I haven't got anything to wear.

-I know you'd have fun once you got there.

Wouldn't she, Cleo?

-Maybe we should go to the mountains

for a picnic instead?

Just, you know, for something different.

-Well--

-I really like this bikini.

-If we were all together on the beach, you'd need a new

swimsuit.

-I really love it.

-Why don't you go down after breakfast, see if they've got

one your size?

-OK.

Thanks, dad.

-I'm starving.

Let's get something to eat.

-Where should we go?

-You first.

-OK.

That should get a fruit salad.

-Or eggs and toast minus the eggs.

-A stack of pancakes without the stack.

-I think it's time we got a job.

We got a job.

Who's he?

-His name's Zane.

He's loaded.

He's immortal.

-Looks OK to me.

-Hi

-Hey.

-We're just going for a swim.

-Well, aren't we doing the staff interviews today?

-Yeah, not for an hour and a half.

-What if you're not back?

-Deal with it.

We're looking for someone to wait tables,

not a rocket scientist.

-Is she still trying to make time with you?

-Just being friendly.

You want to do some more training?

-No, I'm done.

-I'll catch you later then.

-Hope you like sushi.

-You don't have to go to so much trouble.

-Oh, it's not trouble at all.

We have this all the time.

Don't we, dear?

-Oh, yeah.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, dad.

-Sandwiches would be fine, truly.

-If you insist.

-Ta-da!

-Oh, that looks super, sweetheart.

-Wow, new bathers.

I like them.

-Maybe I should get a pair too.

-I think they only come in smaller sizes.

-I forgot to mention.

I booked sail skis for everyone.

-Sounds great.

-I--

I don't know about that.

-Have you ever tried it?

-Paddling isn't my thing.

-Well, we'd all love to give it a go, Sam.

Can't wait.

-That was so cool.

-Ah, I could sure make some change.

There's so much to do at the cafe these days.

I'm so stressed out.

-You need more help.

-[sigh]

That's why I'm interviewing for new staff this morning.

-How do you know to pick the right person?

-5% reason, 95% instinct.

-That scientific, huh?

-Well, I've got to see them almost every day.

-What sort of experience are you looking for?

-Not much.

Why?

-I mean, I'd be interested in trying out.

-Sure.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-What are you doing here?

-Lining up for the job.

-Hey, no jumping the queue!

-No!

-Sorry to barge in.

I'm here about the job interview.

-Yeah.

Come right in.

-My girlfriend's taking care of the interviews.

-Oh, no problem.

-Hey, I've--

I've seen you somewhere before.

-Really?

I wonder where.

-In my dreams.

-Was I being nice?

-Oh, yeah.

-I'll just wait outside then.

I'd like to thank you all for coming.

But I have some bad news.

The position has been filled.

We've been waiting an hour.

Who are you anyway?

-Who do you think I might be?

-Not the manageress.

I know what she looks like.

-And do you know what the assistant

manageress looks like?

-This sucks.

-Please feel free to leave your CVs

for any future openings.

-Hey.

Why don't you come in for a swim?

It's amazing.

-Uh, no, thank you.

I'm fine.

-I won't take no for an answer.

-I said, no, thank you.

Sorry I'm just--

I'm really happy here.

-Are you sure you're all right?

Is there something wrong or--

-No, I'm having heaps of fun.

Everything's great.

I'm really happy.

-Good to hear.

Well, we'll leave you to it then.

Have fun, sweetheart.

-Where's everyone else?

-They got impatient and went home.

-You're the only one?

What experience have you had?

-Only good ones.

Not so good for my old bosses though.

-Why not?

-Well, because they missed me when I was gone.

-[chuckles]

Right.

Well, you see, the thing is, I was supposed to wait for

Rikki.

-Oh, cool.

I've got other job interviews I've got to make anyway.

Office work.

-Hey, you know what?

Um, why don't you just start?

I'm sure it'll be fine.

-I'm sure it will.

-Stop playing hard to please.

Dad's not going to get us both gifts.

-I don't want any gifts, Kim.

And neither should you, so stop acting

like a little brat.

-Cleo, what's wrong with you?

-That's all right.

Cleo, if something's bothering you--

-Um, you know what?

You're right.

The water looks great.

DON (OFFSCREEN): Cleo!

Cleo!

So this is where you got to.

We were worried.

-I'm sorry.

-I don't understand what's going on.

-I can explain.

Actually, I can't.

-If this behavior was coming from Kim, I'd be expecting.

But it's not like you.

-I'm sorry, dad.

-You think I'm trying to bring Sam in as a replacement for

your mom.

-No, not at all.

I like Sam.

I do.

-Well, then what is it?

You can tell me.

-I was just in a bad mood.

-I don't think I believe that.

I just want you to talk to me.

-It should be good, us working together.

-Yeah.

Well, I'll just go tell Zane.

And then we'll see if there's a uniform that fits.

-What are you doing here?

-Rikki, right?

I'm Sophie.

Zane told me all about you when he gave me the job.

-That's great.

Congratulations.

-Zane, office, now.

-What?

-Urgent meeting.

-Hi.

We've-- we've met before.

-Yeah, I remember.

Can't stand around talking.

I've got work to do.

-Any time you like.

-Wait, you're mad because of Sophie?

-I was meant to do the hiring.

-But you told me to handle it.

-Yeah, if I was late.

I'm not.

-She was the only one that waited around.

All the others left.

-They left.

Why?

Oh, let me think.

Um, I have no idea.

-So you thought you'd just hire her anyway?

I thought that she might leave too, that we'd miss out.

What's your problem anyway?

-Bella was interested in the job as well.

-Oh, right, yeah.

Your friend.

[knocking on door]

-Sorry.

Am I stressing people out here?

-No, it's cool.

-I do want this job.

But causing grief is not my thing.

-Rikki's cool.

-No, I'm not.

-I think I understand how you must be feeling, Rikki.

But I've got a suggestion if you're interested.

-Yes?

-I could work today on a trial basis.

You don't have to pay me.

If you prefer someone else's work, no hard feelings.

-I'm good with that.

-Sure.

As long as Bella gets a trial too.

-Ready to order?

-Do I look like I'm ready to order?

-I'm not sure.

How do you look when you're ready?

-Well, isn't it your job to know when I'm ready?

-Maybe I should come back.

-Oh, well, now I'm feeling pressured.

You know, ordering food is a big decision.

This is where all my nutrients come from.

-So are you going to tell me what you want?

Or would you like me to decide for you?

-(WHISPERS) Pineapple.

Put it all in a smoothie.

-I like a man who knows what he wants.

-Really?

-She's effective.

-Sorry.

-Hey, where's my drink?

I can die of thirst over here.

-It's coming.

Here you go.

Enjoy.

-What's wrong?

-It's hot.

-What?

There must be some sort of mistake.

-Not off to a good start.

-Yeah, and you made it.

-I'm so sorry.

I just used what was there.

-Don't worry.

I'm onto it.

-I don't know how that happened.

-Cleo, you are going to love this.

You have got to check out my new jeans.

Dad bought them for me yesterday.

And there are shoes and--

and this ring.

-Congratulations, Kim.

-You are so jealous.

I don't see dad buying you anything.

-I don't want him to buy me anything.

At least I'm not using bribery.

-If he wants to have a girlfriend, that's the price

he has to pay.

Oh, and did I mention this really awesome jacket he got

me?

-I'm not impressed.

-Who asked you to be?

Now I'm the mature one.

The sky's the limit.

-What if dad really cares about Sam?

Does that bother you at all?

-Earth to dum-dum.

There is no way she's going to stick around.

She's young and got all this future ahead of her.

What's dad got to offer?

-Plenty.

-He's old, and he's got baggage.

-[scoffs]

He's not that old.

And he's handsome, and he's caring.

And he's funny.

-He's got nose hair.

-Kim, what if dad's really serious about her?

I mean, eventually, you're going to have to get used to

having another woman in the house.

-No.

No way.

Never going to happen.

-So what are you girls talking about?

Is it what I think it is?

-No.

KIM (OFFSCREEN): Mm-hmm.

-Well, yeah, a little bit.

-I understand.

-Why are you doing this, Kim?

-Duh.

Because I really need a new phone.

[power tool buzzing]

[buzzing stops]

-Hey.

-Hey.

-What are you doing?

-Just fixing up a desk for Sophie.

-I thought she finished school.

-Oh, she needs it for a business class.

She-- she can't afford a new one on top of her fees and

everything.

-Business class.

Impressive.

-Yeah.

She's going to be a real mover and shaker one day.

-Yeah.

I'll believe that.

-She can rub people up the wrong way sometimes.

But she's got a heart of gold once you get to know her.

-You really like your sister, don't you?

-I owe her a lot.

-Do you feel like a walk on the beach?

-I've got to finish this.

-OK.

I'll see you around, then.

-OK.

See you.

-Well, maybe I'm not so cool about Sam after all.

-So don't you want your dad to have a girlfriend?

-I thought I did.

I mean, they're great together and everything.

But I--

-Do you not like her?

-It's not that.

Another person in my life is another person that I

have to hide from.

-Hi, guys.

-Are you still worried about the cafe?

-I know that Sophie needs the job.

And she's really.

But--

-Then give it to her.

She needs it more than I do.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah, don't worry about it.

I will happily stick to singing.

-Well, that makes things a lot simpler.

But you know, there's something that's just not

right about her.

She's really pushy.

-Hmm, that reminds me of someone we know, maybe someone

in this pool.

[giggling]

-Sam, look, I really want to apologize for how I behaved

yesterday at the beach.

-Uh, thanks, Cleo.

Your dad and I have decided to cool it for a bit.

-You're not breaking up, are you?

-[sigh]

Uh, maybe things have been happening a bit fast.

-Oh, but you're still going to see each other

though, aren't you?

-I don't know.

I think your dad's really special.

And I don't want to jeopardize what you guys have here.

-Hey.

Check this out.

-What?

-Straight from the employment agency.

Now, maybe you're right.

Maybe we need to interview more people for the job.

So the first one's at 10:00.

-What's wrong with Sophie?

-Sophie?

I--

I thought you were--

-I want to give her the job.

She's good.

-Whatever you want.

Sophie stays.

-Dad, it's time we talked.

-What's done is done.

Maybe you're right.

Sam and I wouldn't have worked out.

-Dad, that's-- that is not what I think at all.

This all started at the beach when I was rude to Sam.

But it had nothing to do with you and her.

-What did it have to do with then?

-Nothing serious.

Look, I can't explain.

-That's not good enough, Cleo.

-Dad, If I could tell you--

-It's boy trouble, isn't it?

-No.

Lewis and I are fine.

Go and find Sam.

Someone like her doesn't come along every day.

-We should be about 30 minutes.

-All under control.

-Hi.

Congratulations on the job.

-Yeah.

What do you want?

-Well, you know that I'm a friend of your brother's.

-So?

Do you want to order or not?

-Well, I was just hoping that we could be friends.

-We don't have anything in common.

-Yeah, but it might be nice for Will.

-Let me worry about him.

You just stay out of our way.

-Look, have I done something?

-Um, excuse me.

I'm busy.

[tv sounds]

[tv sounds stop]

-Dad, we're watching.

-Guys, I've got some big news.

Sam and I are engaged.

-Wow.

Oh, that-- that's-- that's wonderful news.

Congratulations.

-Thanks, Cleo.

And that means a lot.

-And you're the one that gave me the

courage to pop the question.

-This is all your fault.

-I think she's a lot happier than she sounds.

-I don't want to talk.

-I don't blame you for being scared.

-I'm not scared.

-Well, I am a bit.

But we've got to think about dad's needs as well.

-And what about me?

When does anybody think about me?

You put this whole marriage idea thing into his head.

[knocking on door]

-Can I come in?

[sigh]

Are you girls OK?

-Yeah, I'm OK.

Sorry about before.

-Oh, that's all right, sweetheart.

I know it's a bit of a surprise.

I'll leave you to it.

-Do you think we could talk about my new phone tomorrow?

-We'll see.

Tell you what.

I'll have a chat with Sam about it.

No promises.

-Chat with Sam about it?

Ugh, the nightmare begins.

-My sister, the waitress.

-I kind of like it.

-I thought you had bigger plans.

-I've still got the plans.

This is just the beginning.

-Everything cool?

-Everything's perfect.

-That's what we like to hear.

-Why are you all alone?

-Sometimes I prefer it that way.

-I thought you would have been over there chatting up Will.

-Hmm.

-What's up?

Everything's all right, isn't it?

-Yeah.

Yeah, everything's fine.

THEME SONG: We've got to stick together 'cause the best

things come in threes.

I want it to last forever, all the magic and fun at sea.

So come on, this is our adventure.

There's no telling where we'll go.

But all I want is just to live amongst the H2O!

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.

I'm from the deep, blue underworld.

Land or sea, I've got the power if I just believe.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.

I'm from the deep, blue underworld.

Land or sea, the world's my oyster.

I'm the pearl, no ordinary girl.

Come along, it just gets better.

So much to do and just so little time 'cause it all

depends on whether you want to leave the land above behind.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.

I'm from the deep, blue underworld.

Land or sea, the world's my oyster.

I'm the pearl, no ordinary girl.
