I've got a 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.
- That was shorter than last time.
You're going backwards.
You're letting the water beat you.
- I'm tired.
- Oh, well maybe there's a tired divers category at the
Free diving championships, but i doubt it.
So, are you going to take a nap with the rest of the
Losers or are you going to try and win this thing?
Good.
Ok, 10 more seconds and then give me another length.
- I thought we could offer a bunch of different packages.
- Uh huh.
- It'd be a whole new customer base.
- Uh huh.
Yeah.
- Stop yeah yeahing me.
What do you think?
- Catering corporate functions.
It's our market.
It's where the dollars are.
It's where we should be.
- Great.
I'll get some advertising out.
- You know, you're getting good at this business thing.
I'm going to put the word to my best contacts.
- Too easy.
- I know a coach is supposed to be tough, but the way she was
Talking to will was just mean.
- So what did you do?
- Well, i wanted to see how long she could hold her breath
Under water.
But i didn't.
I just walked away.
I don't know how he puts up with her.
- You did the right thing then.
- Not necessarily.
- Hang on.
You were the one telling bella to stay away from will in the
First place.
- 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.
- What instincts?
- The ones that are telling you to get close to him.
- But they're not.
They're just telling me that sophie shouldn't work him as
Hard.
- Are you sure?
- He doesn't see us as a thing and neither do i.
- Then get close to him to save him from the devil coach.
Whatever.
We need to keep an eye on him.
- You got me a corporate sponsor?
- Almost.
You just need to impress him when he
Comes to see you train.
- How would the head of an international dive suit
Company even hear about me?
- I went to his office and told him.
- And he's interested?
- I told him where we're headed, that you're going to
Be world champion, and this is his chance to get in on the
Ground floor.
- Whoa.
- So now i'm going to get him to tomorrow's session, even if
I have to drag him there.
- Tomorrow?
I'm not ready.
- Yes, you are.
- What if i'm a letdown?
- You won't be.
Just do what you do and he'll be blown away.
- Are you sure?
- I promise you.
- Thanks, soph.
- You need to be totally focused.
Push it to the absolute limit.
Understood?
- Understood.
- And i'll be there the whole time.
- What about your work?
- Don't worry about that.
Leave zane and everything else to me.
Just remember, focused.
- You read my mind.
- Actually, i need to leave early.
- Who's the lucky guy?
- An international diving gear manufacturer.
- Romantic.
- It's a business meeting.
I'm trying to convince him to sponsor will.
- Sponsor?
- He's a talented free diver.
Could be a champion one day.
- Well, i never stand in the way of a business deal.
- That is so cool,
- Zane bennett.
- Because i need tomorrow off, too.
- What?
Yeah, we cater for corporate functions.
It's our specialty.
Tomorrow?
- I have to take this sponsor to see will train.
- Uh, lunch tomorrow?
No problem at all.
Hey.
Um, uh, yeah, ok.
My manager's not here at the moment, but if you give me
Your details, i'll pass it on.
- Hey, is will about?
- He's got training.
- He's always got training.
- That's how you get to be good.
- But he should have other things going on in his life.
I mean, he can't be happy training all the time.
- Other things meaning you, i suppose?
- No, actually, i just meant that he should have lots of
Things going in his life.
- I know what you meant, and he's got lots going on.
He's going to be a champion and it's my job to see he's
Got no distractions.
- But it's his life.
You can't make all of the decisions for him.
- Well, i've made this one.
- The talent agency's booked the whole place out.
Sure, we should be able to do that.
- I'm sure you will.
- I will.
- Yeah, i've got a bike meeting.
It's a business thing.
- Oh, really?
And that's why your motorbike's out front.
- Ok, so there's a bike rally involved, but i'll be using
The event to promote our new venture to some corporate
Honchos.
- Oh, and you get a lot of those at dirt bike rallies, do
You?
- A few.
- Right, so i'm left to do everything.
And i see you've given sophie the day off.
- Yes, but i'm sure you'll find someone to help you out, so
It's all good.
- Oh, you're finished already?
- Just taking a break.
- Oh.
You want to be a champion break-Taker, you take breaks.
I hear you want to be a champion free diver, so dive.
And as your guest coach, we do it my way or the highway.
- Guest coach?
- I know a little bit about spending time under water,
Don't you think?
- Thank you so much for helping tonight.
- No problem.
Are heating, the seafood salads are chilling, and so
Should you.
- I know, i know.
It's just the whole thing's my baby and i
Need it to be perfect.
- This is exciting.
- I'm sorry, we're closed for a private function.
- Yes, we're it.
Junior modeling and talent agency.
- Junior?
- We're starving.
Oh, no.
- How long was that?
- I don't know.
- You didn't time it?
- Timing makes it so competitive.
- Well, it's a free diving competition, to see who can
Dive the deepest.
- Yeah, but you're competing against other people.
The way that you're training, you're
Competing against the water.
- Because if i don't, it'll beat me.
- It's not trying to beat you.
The water doesn't have to be your enemy.
It can be your friend.
It'll work with you if you let it.
- Is that mermaid philosophy?
- That it is.
- Yep, and his phone is turned off.
- Well, the kids won't eat any of the food. (mocking)we don't
Eat anything we've never heard of.
- Maybe it's time they heard of eating what they're given.
- Hi.
How's everything going?
- Uh, actually, they're a bit peckish and they're wondering
Where the entertainment is.
- Entertainment?
- Your advertisement does claim that you cater for all forms
Of corporate events.
- Yeah.
- So, where's the clown?
Zane assured me there'd be one.
- A clown?
- Can you see what i mean?
- Kind of.
But wouldn't be a better if you showed me?
- Hello, public place.
- There won't be anyone here for ages.
- Oh, i don't know.
I don't know.
- Come on, show me how the expert does it.
- Are you insane?
- That is so incredible.
- Yeah, i am.
- So you want to see how the experts do it?
- Will?
Are you there?
- Uh, i'm coming.
- Don't worry, keep training.
I'll bring him in.
- You all right?
- My sister's here.
- What?
You can't let her see me.
- Hi, rob.
This way.
He's in the pool now.
- It's fantastic that you're open to sponsoring my brother.
- We'll see.
- Will, this is rob kent, the sponsor i
Was telling you about.
- Potential sponsor.
How ya doing?
- So, will, show him your potential.
- Not right now.
I'm pretty exhausted.
- Rob's a very busy man.
- Sorry, but i need a break.
You've been pushing me pretty hard.
- And it's that kind of training that's going to make
Him a world champion.
- But we're not going to see any of it today?
- Yes, we are.
Will, get in the pool.
Pushing it to the absolute limit, remember?
- I already have.
- A bit temperamental.
Elite athletes can be like that.
He'll be fine by tomorrow.
- But i won't be here.
Like you said, i'm busy.
- Rob, please.
Rob wait.
He's just a bit—
- (kids chanting) we want chips.
We want chips.
- Where's the clown?
- Right here.
My dad used to wear this for my birthday parties.
- Is everybody ready for a good time?
- (in unison) yeah!
- Are you sure you're ready?
- (in unison)yea!
- Introducing the amazing, the fantabulous rikko the clown.
- Hi, guys.
I'm rikko the clown.
Tough crowd.
- Bella, are you ok?
- Yeah, thank you so much.
- Sorry, i should have been more careful.
- Do you really think you've blown your sponsorship?
- Could have, but it was worth it to swim with you like that.
It's incredible the way you change.
How'd you—
- So i guess you'd better get back to sophie
And sort things out.
Or, you know, we could go somewhere else really private
To do some more swimming.
- I can dance better than that.
- Ok, well, let's have some jokes, then.
Knock, knock.
- We know who's there.
It's lamo the clown.
- Right.
We're going to sing a song.
- Who'd like lamo to get some talent.
- We were promised professional entertainment.
If this is the best you can do, we're leaving.
And i won't feel inclined to pay.
- Hey, let's see if we can get this in the clown's mouth.
- Oh, rikki.
Actually, that's not such a bad idea.
- What?
- Who'd like rikko to do some magic?
- Now, prepare to be astounded by the amazing rikko.
Watch as the amazing rikko juggles water.
- (in unison) whoa!
Whoa.
- And now, prepare for rikko the clown's final trick.
What does rikko the clown do when she's thirsty?
- (in unison)woo!
- Does she have a manager?
Give her my card.
- One more trick.
- Sorry, guys.
Rikko's all tricked out.
- Juggle this.
- And, another big round of applause
For the amazing rikko.
- You speed under water.
The depths you can dive to.
How long can you hold your breath for?
- Uh, i've never tested it.
- It's so amazing to think that you can just swim like that
Any time you like.
- Yeah, it's pretty special.
- It must be so hard to have something that incredible and
Not have anyone you can even talk to about it.
- Yeah, it's tough, all right.
- Well, i'm really glad you shared it with me.
It's the best thing i've ever done.
So, we'll do it again?
- Yeah.
Definitely.
- Where have you been?
- Just out.
- Getting a job, i hope, because you're going to need
About four of them to make up the money you just lost us.
- I'm sorry.
- There's a coincidence.
So am i. I'm sorry i went to all that trouble only to be
Humiliated.
- You weren't humiliated.
- I promised him he was going to see a future champ.
Instead, he saw a wimp who couldn't be bothered trying.
So where were you?
With bella?
You're too tired to train, but you can hang out with her.
- We were training.
- What would she know about diving?
- You'd be surprised.
- No, you're the one that's going to be surprised.
There's something about her she doesn't
Want people to see.
- Like what?
- She's cunning.
I told her you were busy, so she waited until i was gone.
- Well, i'm glad she did.
Training with her was fun.
- Of course it was.
It doesn't matter to her.
Let's have fun all the time.
Let's forget about everything i've given up for you so you
Could have this shot.
- That's not what i meant.
- I hope not.
You've got a talent i could only dream about.
I'm not going to let you throw it all away.
- Hey.
Sorry i couldn't get back earlier, but i really kicked
Some goals for us at the bike rally.
We are going to have bookings coming out our ears.
- Really?
Anyone over the age of six?
- Hey, it's your training buddy.
Just wondering if you have time for a
Swim tomorrow morning.
- Tomorrow morning might be a bit of a problem.
Yeah, and the afternoon, too.
- Later on in the week, then, i guess.
Oh.
Oh, no, no.
I, yeah, i understand.
They're championships, you have to train for them.
But there's, there's no reason why your guest trainer can't
Show up occasionally.
- Actually, that's probably not so such a great idea.
Um, i really need to focus, you know, get in the zone.
- Oh, yeah, right.
The zone.
And i guess it's sophie's call who gets to be in
The zone with you.
- It has nothing to do with sophie.
Look, i'll, uh, i'll get back to you later.
Bye.
- Who was that?
- No one.
- There's no point in me being here or you putting in the
Training unless you're going to put in the effort.
Now give me another 10 lengths.
- Hey.
- You look tired.
- Early morning training.
- Well, i guess that's life in the zone.
- So, are you doing anything?
- What happened to being focused?
- Doesn't mean we can't go for a swim for half an hour or so.
- That long?
- I'm sorry about that call yesterday, but you've got to
Know, i can't get you out of my head.
The way you fly through the water like its part of you.
It, it's beautiful.
- Well, maybe, maybe we could go get a coffee first and then
We could talk.
- I want to see you swim, that's better than any
Talking.
- Yeah, but we could, we could get to know
Each other a bit better.
- I know you're a mermaid.
How much more do i need to know?
- Yeah, but that's not all i am.
- Of course not, but you've got to admit, it is the most
Amazing part.
- I guess so.
- What's the problem?
- Um, you know, i think, i think you're right.
I think you should, you should focus on your training.
- I'm taking a break.
- No.
No, not with me.
No, you should, um, you should find sophie.
She'll be wondering where you are.
- Sounds like you guys did well yesterday.
I'll have to go away more often.
- Oh, i want full details of the bookings next time.
- Oh, the important thing is the event was a success.
Actually.
I've got another booking for today and they specifically
Asked for rikko the clown.
- Oh, really?
Well unfortunately, it's, it's rikko's day off.
We do, however, have a stand-In.
So, knock 'em dead, zano.
- What's happened?
- I told will to stay away from me.
- I said to follow your instincts.
If they're telling you you don't want to
Be around him, then—
But that's not what they're telling you, are they?
- You guys were right.
I, i really like him.
- Then why tell him to back off?
- Because 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.
- Then you did the right thing.
- But he knows my secret.
I mean, i'm sure he won't tell anyone, but how will we know?
- I guess we won't.
- I've made such a mess.
- Welcome to the club.
We've all told someone our secret, and we've all wondered
About whether it was the right thing to do.
Comes with being a mermaid.
The important thing to remember is that no matter how
Rotten we may feel, a mermaid always has a way of making
Herself feel better.
- Swimming?
- Well, that's enough shopping.
I think we've just about earned ourselves a drink.
- On second thought, maybe we should try somewhere else.
This place looks booked up.
Js
We've got to stick together, 'cause the
Best things come in three.
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 among the h20.
'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 to 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.
