03x03 - Keep Your Enemies Close

Post by bunniefuu »

There you go. Enjoy your day.

Okay.

Now, I've heard of opportunity
knocking, but this is ridiculous.

You should apply.

Being assistant dolphin trainer.

Cleo, they would be paying you
to hang with dolphins all day.

I guess it is kind of a dream job.

Yeah, and it's one that's got
Cleo written all over it.

Just imagine what this could lead to.

You could run this place one day.

I'd make an excellent assistant, Laurie.

And I think this is a great
career opportunity for me.

I don't know, Cleo.

I can start right away.

Please.

I'm only asking for a chance.

Can you believe it?

Assistant dolphin trainer, me!

It's so exciting.

Well, it's just a trail.

But still, thank you so much
for encouraging me.

Oh, that's all right.

That's what friends are for, right Rikki?

Well, let's just see.

You've just landed a job that involves
being around dolphins, people, and water.

I'm just trying to figure out
what's wrong with this scenario.

I'll be careful.

I really don't want to make this
whole mermaid thing a big deal.

You turn into a fish as soon
as you touch water.

Call me crazy, that is a big deal!

Well, Cleo's a big girl.

She can make up her own mind.

And the least you could do is
try and be happy for her.

Should I also be happy for her
when she ends up under a microscope?

You're taking a really big risk.

If Laurie sees you with a tail you'll be
a bigger part of the show than you want to be.

Maybe she's right.

Maybe it is a bad idea.

And maybe she's not.

This is your dream.
I'm sure it would be fine.

Hey, Rikki, you're a chick, what
do you think of the song?

I think I need a bucket.

Not into love songs, eh?

Well, this one's actually
about someone you know.

Poor girl.

Yeah, I'm hoping to open the set with it.

Not in this cafe you're not.

Why?

Because, Nate, I want my customers to be
hungry not sick to their stomachs.

Lewis! Lewis!

Huh?

It's my cafe and what I say goes.
You are not playing that song.

But.

No, Nate. The answer's no.

Well, if I can't play that song
then I'm calling the gig off.

Let me save you the trouble.

You're fired.

What?

You can't fire me.
I've got a huge fan following.

Well, let's just hope they
follow you out the door

So I can get customers
in with good taste in music.

Okay, as you know, Ronny and the rest
of his pod understand over hand signs.

So you need to remember that
successful signals are clear and distinct.

Watching?

See? Clear and distinct. Now you try.

Are you okay?

Me? Yup, I'm fine.

You seem nervous.

Oh, maybe just a little bit.

But, um, I'll get over it.

It's natural to be nervous.

It's just I'm sure Ronny picked
up on your nerves, too.

And that can cause a problem.

No, I'm fine. It's good.

Why don't we take five?

Have a break and relax.

- We're fired?
- Yup.

- But why?
- I don't know.

I was just rehearsing as usual
and she just went off her head at me.

- What, for no reason?
- Right out of the blue.

You know, I bet this is because of me.

You?

Nah, well, maybe.

Look, Don't worry about it, Bella.

I'm here for you.

Nobody blames you for this mess.

This is so unfair.

Come on, fella.

There you go. You like that?

And who might you be?

Oh, sorry.

I couldn't resist the urge
to see them up close.

Well, this part of the park's
off limits to the public.

I grew up on a yacht sailing
around the world with my parents.

So I'm kind of hooked on dolphins.

I'm been around them all my life.

Well, you can see Ronny
at the dolphin show.

Great. Will do. Cheers.

Ronny.

Would you like some company?

Hey!

What are you doing?

Get out of the water right now.

I didn't know you worked here.

Well, I won't for much longer
unless you get out of the water.

Come on, lighten up.

I'm not hurting anybody.

Come on in.

Forget it.

Now please, please, please
get out of the water.

But Ronny likes me.

He really does. Watch.

Will!

Feeling better?

Um, yeah much. Thanks.

So, uh what are you up to?

Oh, you know.
Just rehearsing with Ronny.

Oh, hey. Well done!

Wow, you taught him that already?

You're quick.

Keep up the good work, eh?
You're a natural.

It wasn't me.

See? He loves me.

Get out of there right now
or I will call security.

What's your problem?

What are you talking about?

I know you fired the band
to make a point at me.

I fired the band because Nate can't sing.

Well that's your opinion.

Well, it's my cafe and I book the bands.
Doesn't my opinion matter?

I know what this is about. You're mad with me
because I encouraged Cleo to take that job.

Don't apply for any job
at the psychic hotline, all right?

You're way off the mark.
I fired the band because the band sucks.

- End of story.
- Well, I disagree.

Nate has been working really
hard to get our song list together.

Oh, Nate's certainly been
working very hard for something.

But it's not the band.

What's that supposed to mean?

Stick around. You'll see.

Laurie can I have a word?

Oh, Cleo, hi.

Hey, I've, uh, got a surprise for you.

After seeing how well you
did with Ronny yesterday

I've decide to include you in today's show.

You mean in front of a crowd?

Uh, yeah.

But more importantly, in front
of the park manager.

I want to show off my new recruit.

About that, look, Laurie, I don't...

There she is now. Cleo, do your thing.

Please, Ronny. Please do this for me.

Oh, this is a nightmare.
What was I thinking?

Assistant dolphin trainer, me?

Cleo, settle down, ok? Stop. Stop.

So a few people got wet.

It's a marine park. It is kind of expected.

I just can't believe Laurie still wants
me to be a part of the dolphin show.

I mean, what if I mess up again?

Say it out loud.

Okay, what's the worst thing that can
possibly happen out there today?

I fail in public and get put
back on ice cream duty.

No, it's not going to happen, is it?

No, it's not.

I don't think I can do this.

Cleo, you are a natural with dolphins.

You're practically related to them.
You're gonna be fine.

If you want to get with me.

You better line up ladies.

Line up ladies.

If you want a love letter from
me, you better sign up ladies.

You better give me your address.

I can't wait to meet your parents.

- I can't wait to meet your dog.
- Uh, Nate, Nate

Um, Nate.

That's horrendous.

Yeah.

Yes.

That's what I said to Rikki when she tried
to force me to add it to our set list.

I still can't believe she fired us.

Me neither.

But hey, look on the bright side.

We're in this together.

What are you doing?

Eh, comforting you.

Ok, well, could you try
comforting me without touching me?

Oh, yeah.

Yes.

I understand.

We can take this thing slowly, babes.

What thing?

You know, us.

Um, ok, I think...

I think we should get
one thing straight here.

There... There isn't 'us'.

What we have is a strictly
professional relationship.

You know what I mean?

Okay.

Good.

All right. I'll see you later.

See ya.

She wants me.

Line up, ladies.

Line up, ladies.

- Come on, dad. Hurry up.
- What's the rush?

I got to be at tiffany's by four.
We're going shopping.

Hey! Whoa! Whoa!

Sorry for bursting in.

I hope you guys haven't got
any plans this afternoon.

Actually we do.

Yeah, well, Cleo is a woman in need.

So am I.

Thanks anyways.

That's it. I have tried every local
band and they're all booked out.

Then we only have one option.

I'm not calling Bella.

Who said anything about calling Bella?

It's Nate's band.

Well, I'm not calling him either.

- Fine, I'll do it.
- No, Zane, they're terrible.

They're not that bad.
The only problem is Nate's voice.

Yeah, and his choice of lyrics,
choice of chords, lack of rhythm.

- And those facial expressions?
- Rikki, they're available.

All right? Now are you going
to call them or am I?

Relax.

You're a natural. Ronny's your friend.

Breathe in and out.

In and out.

- Hey, how you feeling?
- What are they doing here?

Well, I invited them.

Great. That's just great.
Did you invite him, too?

No.

No, I just thought that you
would like some familiar faces.

Well, you thought wrong.

Look, break a leg.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls

Today's performance
will begin in one minute.

So take a seat, have your cameras ready,
and on behalf of Ronny and the team...

- Do you mind if I sit here?
- Not at all.

So, I, um, I heard Nate's song.

And?

My thoughts exactly.

You really did the fire
the band because of him, didn't you?

Yep.

It had nothing to do with me?

No.

I jumped to the wrong conclusion?

Yeah, you did.

Rikki, I'm so sorry.

You were completely right. And I was wrong.

He hit on you yet?

Yes. Yes, he has.

You poor thing. Don't worry,
the nightmares will stop in a day or two.

Listen, I'm really sorry
if I was a little bit blunt yesterday.

Oh, no.

There's no need to apologize really.

I'm not, I'm not really against
Cleo having this job.

But you know, I trust her judgment.

I guess, I was probably
just a little bit...

jealous that she came
to you for advice first.

Well, yeah. I didn't mean
to tread on your toes.

I'm really not used to
being in a group kind of a situation.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, I know what it's like.

So, friends?

Friends.

So about that gig.

Did you still want it?

- I thought we were fired.
- Yeah, what can I say?

We're really desperate.

Oh, all right.
Tell me what you really think.

Good afternoon and welcome to
our daily dolphin show.

Now, just for something fun

I'm throwing my new assistant
dolphin trainer into the deep end.

So to speak.

All right, to open the show

She'll be showing you something new
she's been working on with Ronny.

Over to you, Cleo.

Come on, Ronny.

Just relax, Cleo.
You did it perfectly yesterday.

Just do it again.
Forget the audience is here.

Hey, come on, Cleo. You're a real natural.

That's enough, Kim.

Just take a minute.
And pull yourself together, ok?

I'll warm Ronny up.
And, uh, go get him listening.

Okay, ladies and gentlemen,
slight change of plans.

Cleo will be back shortly, which is great
because we love Cleo, don't we, Ronny?

And yes, ladies and gentlemen,
Ronny loves you.

So make some noise and let
him know how you feel!

- Hey.
- What are you doing here?

I came to see the show.

Well, then you better go watch
Laurie because I've already blown it.

I can help you.

You know, it's so much easier to
communicate with dolphins from the water.

It puts you on their level.

If you grab a wetsuit
and get in the water...

I'm not getting in the water.

Have you ever swum with a dolphin before?

You know, it's so amazing.

It's like, it's like magic.

He won't hurt you.

I know that, but I'm not
getting in the water.

You can't avoid it forever.

You can't be an assistant dolphin
trainer without getting wet.

Just, let me help you.

Cleo?

You ready? It's now or never.

Come on, Cleo!

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
back to the stage assistant dolphin trainer.

Extraordinaire, Cleo Sertori!

Hey, boys and girls.

I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.

You see, Ronny and I have been
practicing a new surprise all week.

And he just told me he's ready
to show you all today.

But between you and me,
Ronny's a bit of a show off.

And I totally forgot that he
asked me to bring my camera.

So I could film him for his mom.

Well, he says it's for his mom.

But I know his really great his
girlfriends, Kayla and Tully.

So, can you do that for me?

Can you film him for me?

He's asked for plenty of close ups.

What's that, Ronny?

Your ears are burning?

Well, uh, I couldn't have
done it without Will's help.

We're supposed to be keeping
our distance from him.

Well, he saved my job.
And he's not that bad.

In fact, he's pretty nice.

- Just be careful.
- I will, I promise.

Eh, so, I hear you want us back.

- Nate
- No, Bell, please, babe.

You know, I knew you would
come crawling back.

But I'm not prepared to set up
until you offer us a pay raise.

% feels fair.

Nate, set up or give out.

Worth a sh*t, wasn't it?

Get to work.

Hi.

I'm Nate and this is a little
number I wrote about...

Um, hi. I'm Bella

And this is one of Nate's original
songs that I've modified a little bit.

I'd like to dedicate it to
a new friend of mine.
