A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventures Page #6

---

The trick is to know where to look.

And this time of year,

there's only one place

she would be headed.

That would be the magical place.

Look at this. It shines like this all day.

You never want to leave.

This is amazing!

If you're looking for a mate,

this is where you wanna be.

There's Rita! Hey, Honeybee!

- Rita, I'm back!

- Huh? What?

(Gasps) Ray!

What took you so long?

Oh, shnookums, I was...

entangled, so to speak, OK?

And then I swam into

my very old friend.

Honey, sugar pie,

this is Sammy.

(Gasps) Sammy? For real?

The one and only.

Hi, Rita.

Very pleased to meet you.

I thought you was dead?

I mean, Ray always thought...

I know, turtle soup.

I'm glad you finally tamed

his wandering ways.

(Both) He's cute.

Hey, hey, hey, relax, girls,

he's got a mate already.

Well, where is she?

I'd love to meet her.

- I wish I knew.

- That's why we're here.

See, we need to find her.

They were separated

quite a while ago.

Oh, you poor dear.

They've been looking for each other

ever since.

(Both) Oh, how romantic.

She's got a shark bite on her shell.

- Anybody seen her?

- I believe I did. What's her name?

- Shelly.

- Yes, that's her!

Where did you see her?

Where did she go?

I'm pretty sure she went in there.

What are you waiting for, buddy?

Let's go find her.

- Oh, no, you don't.

- Oh, but sugar bee...

You stay right here.

Sammy needs me.

You brought him here,

now it's up to him.

Oh, OK then.

I'll be right here if you want me.

(Both) You'll find her, Sammy.

Love always finds a way.

Yeah.

Always finds a way

I know you're somewhere out there

- Somewhere far away

- Shelly?

- I want you back

- Shelly?

I want you back

- My neighbours think I'm crazy

- Shelly?

But they don't understand

You're all I have

At night

when the stars light up my room

I sit by myself

Talking to the moon

Trying to get to you

In hopes you're on the other side

Talking to me too

Or am I a fool

Who sits alone

Talking to the moon?

Oh-oh-oh

I'm feeling like I'm famous

The talk of the town

They say I've gone mad

Yeah, I've gone mad

But they don't know what I know

Cos when the sun goes down...

Shelly? Shelly?

Oh!

(Grunts)

Shelly?

Oh!

What's wrong?

You didn't find her?

She's here all right.

She's got a mate.

Are you sure?

I'm positive.

I saw them together

behind the boat.

Oh, no.

I'm really sorry, Sammy.

What are you gonna do now?

I know, I know you're probably

not thinking this way,

but there are

lots of other turtles out there.

Stop it, Ray.

That's not what he wants to hear

right now.

Hey, Ray, you's back,

how's it going?

- Could be better.

- Ooh, hi, Rita.

Robbie,

Clara's been looking for you.

Well, that figures. With all

the good-looking gals out here,

she does not want me

to be wandering around too much.

- (Both giggle)

- Well, I better get going.

And later.

You too, manana banana,

you know what I'm talkin' about.

- Who's Clara?

- Robbie's mate.

I thought... Shelly and...

Robbie were...

Mates?

(Laughs hysterically)

Yes, that's the way it looked to me.

Robbie?

Oh, oh, he'll flirt with any gal

that says hello,

and that's why Clara

keeps him on a tight leash.

That... would be Robbie.

I should do the same with you.

Me on a leash?

Oh, sugar,

you know you're my baby bee.

So that means...

Shelly may not have a mate after all.

You might be right.

What do I do?

I wouldn't be waiting around here.

But what if she doesn't...

Doesn't what?

Duh!

Want him as her mate.

Oh, yeah,

OK, hold on, hold on.

I got it! I got an idea.

All right, listen to me,

this is what you're gonna have to do,

You're gonna need to make

a big entrance, Sammy.

Is Albert still hanging around?

He is.

What crazy idea

are you trying to pull off this time?

Trust me, eh!

Ohh!

(Screams)

Help!

Oh!

Oh, thank you.

You were so brave.

I suppose I was finally

in the right place at the right time.

Sammy?

How did you find me?

Look out! Behind you!

It's OK... he's a friend.

What?

What, what's going on?

I knew this was a bad idea

Oh, I see.

After what happened

at the secret passage, I wasn't sure if...

If what?

If you and I were meant to be.

Come here, silly.

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-bi-do

J Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-bi-do!

Yeah!

I - Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-bi-do

- (Both) Whoo!

Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I was born, by a mother

at the school of understanding

And raised, by a sister,

who taught me I could be standing

At the age of seven,

I fell in love with Blackie

And nothing could come in my way

When women go smiling

I start running

When women go talking

I start blushing

When women start asking

- Why I keep on falling

- Keep on falling

I can't stop running away

They call me little love child

with a thorn in my side

You shouldn't be talking to me

They call me little love child

with a thorn in my side

You shouldn't be talking to me

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-bi-do

Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I soon turned eleven

I was lost and separated

It was head over heels

that got me stimulated

Like John McEnroe,

my sky kept on falling

I knew I had something to say...

Look, I'm getting all blubbery

and soft-shelled.

Oh, you poor dear.

Next thing you know I'm gonna put

a little pink pom-pom on my tail.

Oh, I'm so sensitive.

Asking, asking,

we're falling, we're falling...

'The day I was born, the odds were

I wasn't going to make it,

'and I didn't have a clue

as to what I was supposed to do.

'Ray showed me how to have fun

and the meaning of true friendship,

'and then I met Shelly.

'She made me complete,

gave my life meaning,

'and that, by any measure,

is pretty great.

'As for humans,

'I must admit, we're going to need

their help more and more,

'to protect us and keep our oceans

alive and beautiful.'

Looks like the little ones made it out

pretty good this time.

Well, looks that way.

So, where did we say we're supposed

to meet the women again?

Tristan da Cunha.

Tristan da what?

It's in the middle of nowhere.

- Any humans?

- What can I say?

You know they're everywhere!

Hello?

- I've got this one.

- Go for it.

Hello, hello,

is anybody up there?

Hi, there.

Uh, hi, I can't get out.

Could you help me?

I know exactly how you feel.

Let me give you a little nudge

to get you started.

The first steps

are always the hardest.

What exactly am I supposed to do?

Just put one flipper in front of the other

and you'll be all right.

00-oo-oo

00-oo-oo

Sometimes I get my head in a dilly

Feeling so lost, ticking you off

Now, boy, you know me well

Said, I'm that kinda filly

That kind of soft, that kind of silly

But when I'm in doubt,

I open my mouth

And words come out,

words come out like

Baby, there's a shark in the water,

water

There's something

underneath my bed

Oh, please believe I said

Baby, there's a shark in the water, water

I caught them barking at the moon

Better be soon

High in the sky,

the song that I'm singing

A sweet little lie, I cry wolf, cry
