really cool but totally secret and you

know what life's never been the same

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

was a horrible monster oh this is so

much better than that story about the

Pig and the spider Darwin stop

interrupting sorry oh I love it when you

read me these made-up stories about what

messes humans get into what's this one

called again Twenty Thousand Leagues

Under the Sea by Jules Fern it's a

classic

okay eight yards long it swam Crossways

in the direction of the novelist

watching us with enormous green eyes

it's tongue furnished with several rows

of pointed teeth came out quivering

[Music]

a monster

[Music]

Debbie wake up oh what there's something

out there what is it

[Laughter]

you woke me up in the middle of the

night to show me some stupid guppy no

really it was huge and scary have you

been reading your creepy Sea Stories

again

I knew it now go to bed or I'll tell Mom

you're up past your bedtime

no

[Music]

Nigel we're almost at the marina

Splendid darling I'm champing at the

vegetable bit to get started on our

search for the perpetually misunderstood

manta ray

good morning Debbie my don't we look a

bit done in yeah well I couldn't

charge

but see something I'm just not sure what

perhaps it was a manta ray you know for

centuries it was thought to be an evil

ocean Beast capable of destroying

fishing boats and devouring people when

in reality the Manta is one of the

gentlest creatures of the sea

hear that you got creeped out by a giant

bunny with gills

[Music]

I'm up to my ears and editing I don't

know when I'll be able to sh**t the

manta ray I'll do I'll do it oh pop it I

don't know it's quite complicated to

sh**t underwater but I know how to work

the camera and I can scuba dive we have

made a splendid scientific team in the

past if you're up for the challenge

pumpkin so am I

I am authentic junk

to travel through

School dad

thank you my good man we'll have your

fine vessel back tomorrow morning we're

looking for a manta ray you know where

they might hang out Losi Monterey but

beware did you say dragon long ago giant

dragon come down for mountains coffee

with tail still haunt water no life

Intruders must be very careful

what a colorful sea tail I'm sure that

Thrills the tourists

Eliza hoverboard will shovel

little girl keep your eyes open

you see dragon

something wrong sweetheart no nothing's

wrong

not unless you count the fact that I'm

totally missing out on the most

important teenage years of my life

deprived of basic fundamental

experiences that every other kid in the

world with a normal lifestyle takes for

granted

such as shopping

[Music]

colorful sea tail that's what he said

about the dragon think about it Dar

there's no scientific proof that sea

monsters exist there's no scientific

proof that people can talk to animals

but there you are

I win look what you made me do

the dragon just because something looks

like the back of a dragon doesn't mean

it is

right

ah Limestone outcroppings the areas

chock full of them take a look

oh where's your binoculars I dropped

them overboard oh

those were new

well no matter use mine I'd better steer

clear of those ice croppings wouldn't

want to harm our rented junk

what did he say

there's no dragon let's forget it okay

[Music]

I'm thinking of a skirt and a scarf not

matching of course oh my the walk into

town looked so much shorter on the map

definitely worth the walk

closed for lunch we'll come back later

this place looks promising

uh

lunch

[Music]

[Music]

the largest member of the rare family

the Manta can measure up to 19 feet long

and weigh as much as 2 300 miles I dare

say these creatures love to pack on the

Plankton

and hot Long Bay is like one big all you

can eat buffet cut

take Dad thank you perfect although I

feel much better if we had spotted some

rays by now I think it's time we donned

our wetsuits

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

Waters of Southeast Asia are home to

spectacular Corals in exotic marine life

in species of

snow wagering please

look

great happens an entire School of manta

rays

clearly is a capture them on still

[Music]

oh

[Music]

wow

[Music]

what's wrong we're missing the sh*t

[Music]

blast the door

[Music]

and I'm not making it up I saw a sea

monster in the coral well I'm sure you

saw something but it wasn't some

primordial Leviathan are you feeling all

right puppet it's not like you to drop a

valuable piece of equipment what about

the legend of the Dragon oh

oh so that's what has brought this about

the fisherman's colorful sea tail as I

said before it's just a story now let me

go and see if I packed an extra light

[Music]

birthday

[Music]

if I had known we were gonna get stuck

in the Twilight Zone I would have

brought water or something

this is just so puzzling

where's that music coming from

[Music]

I wonder what this is all about

[Music]

this is way spooky

[Music]

possibility that there might be a dragon

like the fisherman said pump it there's

a perfectly logical explanation for what

you saw as there is for virtually

everything in life it was nothing more

than an optical illusion created by the

refraction of light on water

maybe but maybe not you don't know for

sure poodles have you been reading Jules

Verne again

Dad I'm not a kid I know the difference

between reality and fiction okay Elijah

I hate to be a stickler but you are

still as you say a kid

especially when you take that turn

sorry Dad

quite all right now let's try to catch

up with those smashing Rays shall we

head for that rotto

we'll assemble the night vision

equipment there and set out once again

when it's dark

we're going back in the water at night

[Music]

watch where you're going

are you sure you're up to this of course

dad because we can't afford any more

mishaps I won't mess up again I promise

[Music]

I have completely lost the will to shop

maybe we dreamed we saw a parade let's

go back to the convey that would be nice

if I had any idea where the convey is or

where we are for that matter

we're lost lost is such a Negative term

I prefer temporarily misplaced on the

scenic route

oh a boss we're saved

[Music]

Donnie

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

oh

my my the current in here seems to be

getting a smidge skonger

something wrong Dad I'm just having a

bit of a wrestling match with the title

flyer

well if I didn't know better I'd say it

was a whirlpool

[Music]

jump on the count of three one two

the whirlpool

[Music]

the reef and dropped the camera I

cornered a crab but you started crawling
