Hey, Raymond.

Hey.

( whispers ):

( Claire squeaks )

We didn't even remember

this was your street.

( chuckles )

Yeah. All right,

Iet's see

what you got here.

( gasps )

Ah... nothing too serious.

You run it under

some cold water,

- you'll be as good as new...

- No, no, no, no!

Hey, hey, hey.

I wouldn't hurt you.

All right, let me at least

put a Band-Aid on it. Yeah?

RAY:

Lifeguard's

always prepared, right?

Here we go.

This won't hurt a bit.

Thereyou go.

- Voila!

- ( laughs )

Thankyou.

It's...

it's beautiful.

( laughs )

( laughs ):

Eh...

So, um...

what was your name?

Aquamarine.

Cool name.

Will I see you

at the street fair today?

- ( whooping, horn honks )

- I love this song!

oh, no!

( pop music playing )

Who ordered broom service?

Hi, Raymond!

I'm here for my driving lesson.

Let's get you up.

You going to be all right?

okay, cool.

All right, hey,

hang on one sec,

I got to grab

my keys.

So, um...

I'll seeyou later?

oop. Rock. Watch out.

Watch out.

Who is she?

Cecilia.

She thinks she's the shiz

'cause her dad does the weather.

Her dad can

make weather?

( laughs ):

No. He just reports it.

- Shut up! I know how to drive.

- And she's a princess?

No, no, no.

Just a royal b*tch.

Then why are you

so intimidated?

oh. Got it. Slow...

( pop music continues )

Whoa.

Hey, guys,

does she have something

against girl's clothes?

( Cecilia's friends laughing )

( laughter continues )

CECI LIA:

Nice hair.

Who are you?

Aquamarine.

She's my cousin.

Well, that's

kind of pretty.

Mm! For a crayon.

I was named Aquamarine after

a rare and precious gemstone,

whereas...

Cecilia translated

means "dim-sighted."

Butyour parents know

you better than I do.

Wow.

What did you just say to me?

Yep, definitely dim-sighted.

( engine booms andstalls )

( all laughing )

oh!

( laughter continues )

There's something very fishy

about that girl.

CLAI RE:

Cecilia Banks blew a gasket!

Who cares about her?

What about Ray?

I mean...

( panting )

What happened to me back there?

I was such a clam.

I-I couldn't think.

CLAI RE:

Don't worry.

Everything we've learned

about boys

has come from the pages

ofthese magazines.

Come on.

AQUAMARI NE:

I can't stop thinking about him.

I feel so weird

and tingly.

( gasps )

- What?

- Look at my finger scales.

oh, my.

They've never been

this color before.

They change colorwith my mood.

Whoa, weird.

But I don't know

what mood this is.

- Love...

- Love...

HAI LEY:

okay, start reading.

We have a lot to cover

before we go to the street fair.

Mm-hmm.

( upbeatpop intro plays )

( woman singing)

Look at this!

I need some salt.

CLAI RE:
Number 28.

Come on. Focus!

( frustrated grunt )

How do you remember

all this?

You have to be flirty,

but demure.

Yeah.

- Devoted but not desperate.

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Available, but elusive?

And ifhe calls

Wednesday

for Saturday,

you have to be busy,

even though you're free?

- It's so annoying.

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Yet strangely addictive.

I think she's

on the brink

of a boy data

overload. Hey.

Let's take her out.

( man speaks indistinctly

overP.A. system )

There he is.

- ( gasps ):
Ray! Ray! Hi!

- Shh! No!

CLAI RE:

Haven't you learned anything?

Let him see you first!

Sorry. I just got so excited,

I forgot.

It's okay, just...

Hey, how about ifwe do what...

what Liz D. from Skokie

suggests?

The "Laugh and Pass."

Casuallywalk past him...

Iaughing.

Good idea.

( shriekinglaughter)

That was so funny!

( whispers ):

okay, look at him.

Look away.

HAI LEY:

Look at him

and playwith your hair.

Just kind oftwirl

it, twirl it.

( guys laughing and whooping )

- Arch your back. Arch your back.

- Puckeryour lips

and flip your hair.

- Flip it, flip it. Flip it.

- Arch your back.

HAI LEY:

her a nickname.

on a paddle boat before?

- Uh-uh.

- Come on.

I'll give you

your first ride.

- okay.

- ( dolphin toysqueaks )

Do you think she'll

be okay out there?

She's with Ray, isn't she?

I guess.

Come on.

So, um,

how long you in town?

Two more days.

Then my dad's

making me come home.

Ifhe doesn't get his way,

it's always a huge disaster.

Eh, pretty

controlling, huh?

( laughs ):

You have no idea.

( laughs ):

Yeah, I do.

My dad, he's all...

dead set on me starting college

next week.

But, I don't know, I want

to take a year off and travel.

I've never been

out of Florida.

So we've been arguing about it

all summer.

And he'll probably

win the argument.

He always does.

Theyjust don't

get it, do they?

Sometimes you have

to leave home

to figure out

whatyou want.

Exactly.

You know, you're not like

most girls around here.

( quiet, anxious squeak )

CLAI RE:

They're so cute together.

HAI LEY:

Claire, how romantic is that?

( Claire laughs )

This is nice.

The sun is setting!

Yeah, I know.

We timed it prettywell,

didn't we?

- I have to get back!

- What? okay.

Uh...

okay. All right.

- okay, all right...

- oh, no!

We're going

the wrong way!

We're heading

back out to sea!

There we go,

we're turning around.

Yeah, we're turning around,

everything's okay...

Hailey! Claire!

- Sunset!

- oh, no!

CLAI RE:

She's gonna pop a tail!

- Hailey! Claire!

-Just add moonlight orwater!

AQUAMARI NE:

I have to get back!

RAYMoND:

Hey, hey...

Here, let's talk about

something to, um,

distractyou, okay?

Like, um... what areyou doing

tomorrow night?

You've probably heard

about the Last Splash?

- We're coming, Aqua!

- Paddle!

It's a...

a party type thing.

Wow, you're really

in a hurry.
