03x13 - To Have and to Hold Back

[bunniefuu]

THEME SONG: I've got a special
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.

[school bell]

-Lewis!

-Yeah?

-I've got something
important for you.

It's an email from the states.

Congratulations.

You deserve it.

-Thanks!

[doorbell]

-Hey, um, is-- is Cleo here?

-Who cares?

-Hey, Cleo!

-Hi.

-Can I please talk to
you about something?

-Sure.

Hey, are you all right?

You look a bit worried.

-Fantastic!

You're all here.

Guys, we've got some
great news.

Go on, Sam, tell them.

-No, you do it.

-No, you.

-OK.

We're getting married.

-We already know that.

-Hmm.

-No, no, you don't understand.

We're getting married the
day after tomorrow.

-Wow!

-That's terrific.

-What?

Too sudden?

-I'll go and talk to her.

Sure it'll be fine.

-So how did it go with
Kim last night?

-Ah, she'll come around.

[door closing]

-Morning everyone!

Cleo, put some more
toast on for Sam.

-Sure!

Hey, um, you haven't thought
about having the wedding a bit

later, after, you know, get
all the preparations done.

-Oh, we don't need
anything fancy.

I'd be happy if I were
barefoot on a beach.

It's about who we're marrying,
not where.

Right, Don?

-So why wait?

It'd be nice to have a few more
friends and family around

to celebrate, still, registry
office is fine.

-No, you deserve a
proper wedding.

-It's not enough time.

-Leave it to me.

I'll arrange everything.

-No, you don't need
to do that.

-No, I insist.

-Hear that?

Cleo's just offered to help
with the wedding plans.

-Ooh.

CLEO [OFFSCREEN]: I
could use a hand.

-I'm busy.

-Well, what if you were
both bridesmaids?

-That's a great idea.

And you'd look great
in a new dress.

-Wow, that's some muffer
you've made.

-I thought if I got Kim
involved, she'd warm to the

idea.

-You think?

-OK, there's a lot to do, but
if you guys would help me?

-Yeah, you name it.

We'll help.

-I've looked everywhere
for a hall, but

everything's booked solid.

-Well, it is the season for
last minute weddings.

-Well, I was wondering if
I could use the cafe?

-Well they're not gonna
want to do it there.

-Well, I thought they could do
it outdoors, and then we could

have the reception inside?

-I'll ask Zane, but he always
does what I say anyway.

-Thank you.

-Rikki!

Rikki!

Hey!

Um, have you seen Cleo?

-Uh, no, she's around the
place organizing things.

-Yeah, well, I've got things
to organize, myself.

-More important than
a wedding?

-I got an email from
the American

Marine Biology Institute.

-Wow.

-Hmm.

-Who are they?

-They are on of the top research
centers in the world.

-And they want to experiment
on you?

Oh, I knew it would
come to this.

-What?

No!

Rikki, it's a scholarship
to study there.

OK?

My teacher advised that I should
apply and they looked

over my application
and I got in.

-So shouldn't you be
jumping for joy?

-They want me to start now.

-Now?

-Uh-huh.

-Like as in--

-As in right now, as in I
would fly out on Monday.

-Have you told Cleo?

-Nope.

How do you think I
should tell her?

-Don't.

-Well, I have to.

-No, she is going out of her
head making marriage

arrangements.

If you tell her now, she
will fall apart.

-But I have--

-No!

Lewis, don't ruin
this for her.

-Stop squirming, stay still.

-I can do my own
hair, you know?

-You move too much, Cleo,
now stay still.

-Hello!

How's everything in here?

Ah, doesn't she look
fantastic?

Lewis, doesn't she
look gorgeous?

-What are you doing here?

-I invited him over.

Um, Lewis, I've been thinking it
over, and none of the guys

down at the wharf seem
like the right

choice to be best man.

How do you feel about it?

-Uh, you want me to
be your best man?

-You're practically part
of the family.

-Yeah?

Yes.

You look amazing.

-She sure does.

Lewis has agreed to
be my best man.

-Really?

-Uh-huh.

-That's fantastic.

-Yeah.

-I mean, that's a really big
honor coming from dad.

Hey, are you all right?

-Um, I don't think we have
time for this, Cleo.

We've just run out
of hair gel.

Do you have anymore?

-Um, there could be some
in the bathroom.

-I do not use hair gel.

-You do now.

-What do you think
you're doing?

-I can't lie to her.

You're not lying.

You're selecting the truth.

-Yeah, the trick of it is, just
don't bring the subject

up.

-Wha- did you tell
Bella about this?

We can't lie to the
sisterhood, man.

-Isn't that exactly what
I'm doing to Cleo?

-No.

You don't get it, do you?

You are leaving her tomorrow.

If you tell her now, this
whole thing collapses.

-I couldn't find hair gel,
but I got hair spray.

-Lewis is leaving you.

-That's not even funny.

-Ask him.

-Kim, if this is your idea of
trying to spoil the wedding--

-Cleo.

-It's-- it's not true, is it?

-Yeah.

-And you applied for this
course how long ago?

-Ah, six months, ago, maybe.

I didn't know that I would be
lucky enough to get in.

I mean, they only take six
from 600 applicants.

And I never, ever thought that
they would bring it forward to

this semester.

-But they did.

And now you're just going,
just like that.

-No, that's what I wanted to
talk to you about, OK?

I still have to confirm it, but
the thing is, the plane

leaves first thing
tomorrow morning.

-[MOURNFULLY] Ah.

I can't believe you'd
do this, Lewis.

I thought you had a lot more
respect for me than that.

-Cleo, I--

I wanted to tell you about it.

I did.

Rikki just thought--

-Rikki knew about this?

And Bella.

-You know what Rikki's
like, sh-- she just

can't keep it to herself.

-But everyone could
keep it from me.

It's fine.

I understand.

-Hey.

-I can't believe this
is I thought

we'd be together forever.

-It's not always that
easy to achieve.

-Yeah, but you've got to
hope for it, don't you?

I mean, you and my dad want
to be together forever.

-Yeah, we do.

-It just really hurts.

I really don't want him to go.

-Oh, of course you don't.

Sometimes you need to stand
on your own for awhile.

Just to fulfill your
potential.

It doesn't have to be forever.

You guys might come
back together

better than ever before.

It might be good if we
give you some time.

I'm going to have a chat to your
dad, and I'm sure he'll

understand if we postpone
the wedding.

-No!

No, no, no, you can't do that.

-No, this is meant to be a
happy day for everyone.

-No, don't.

Don't worry about me.

I really don't want
to make a fuss.

-That's not fair on you.

-No.

The wedding will go on.

I have got a lot to do.

-Your timing is terrible.

-I know.

OK, Mr.S, I know and I'm sorry.

I just--

I didn't expect this to happen
so soon, you know?

-I know, but it has,
and you can't hold

back on these things.

-Well, you think I
should go for it?

-Absolutely.

-Absolutely?

Yeah!

Yes!

You're right!

I mean, Cleo and I have been
best friends since

what, we were five?

We can survive this.

Yeah.

-Lewis, I couldn't have hoped
for a better first

boyfriend for Cleo.

-First?

-You're both growing up.

Life constantly changes,
no matter what.

-What are you trying to say?

What, that it's all over?

I'm only going for a
three-year course.

-Might as well be


-Mr. S.

-You're not going to be
able to have both.

It's gonna be one
or the other.

Anyway, best man, have
to give you these.

Look after them.

-Do you think you could help
me with the music?

-Sure, but so you think Cleo
wants me to be here?

-Are you kidding?

You're part of the team now.

-Do I have to dress up?

-Mmm, not really.

But if you want, you could
match my dress.

-Hey guys, um, Bella, how are
you going with the music?

-Yeah, all set.

-And the-- the signing table?

-Yep, it's all here.

-Cleo!

We should talk!

-Not now.

-Let's go everybody, we've
got a wedding to put on.

-Come on, Lewis, don't
forget to smile.

This is the happiest
day of my life!

-Uh-huh.

[music playing - "canon in d]

FEMALE SPEAKER [OFFSCREEN]: We
are gathered here today to

join Don and Sam in marriage.

Don and Sam, you've each pledged
to the other your

lifelong commitment,
love, and devotion.

From now on, your thoughts
shall be for each other,

rather than for your
individual selves.

Don and Sam will now
exchange rings as a

symbol of their union.

-They're gone?

-What?

-They were right here, Don, I
swear they were-- they were--

-What are they doing out
of the box, Lewis?

-What, you think I took them?

-If you're trying to ruin this
day, Lewis, you're going about

it the right way.

-Cleo, I'm telling the truth.

-Oh, and you're so
good at that.

-As a matter of fact, I am!

Cleo, that's kind of what got
me into this position in the

first place!

-No!

You got yourself into
this position.

I just wish that you would
so what you want and go.

-I'm not going!

Cleo, I'm not.

I--

I called the Institute and I
told them that I can't just

change my life like that.

I can't leave you.

I love you.

-Just can't help himself,
can he?

FEMALE SPEAKER [OFFSCREEN]:
Now that we've got that

settled, can we get on with the

ceremony without the rings?

FEMALE SPEAKER [OFFSCREEN]: OK,
now let's try that again.

Do you, Donald Sertori,
take Samantha

Roberts to be your wife--

[screaming]

-Cleo!

Go, go, go!

-What happened then?

-Kim.

-Dad, I am so sorry.

-Ah, don't be.

You did everything you could.

-Maybe not enough.

Where's Sam?

-Ah, she's gone home
to change.

I seem to be jinxed when
it comes to women.

First your mother leaves me,
and then this with Sam.

-Dad, Sam's not going
to leave you.

-Maybe i don't deserve to be
with a woman like her.

-Don't talk like that.

-How's he holding up?

-Mm, not good.

He's blaming himself.

-Oh, that's crazy.

It's not his fault.

-I know.

We've got to get this thing
back on the rails.

-Today?

Cleo, it's 4 o'clock already.

You can count on me.

-I know it's a long shot,
but I've got an idea.

Give me the rings.

-I'll call you back.

What are you talking about?

-I know you ruined
the wedding, Kim.

Now give me the rings
and go and apologize

to Sam and Dad now.

-And who's going to make me?

-I'm sorry.

-What for?

-I ruined the wedding.

-No, you didn't.

-Yes, I did.

The rings, the sprinklers,
it was all my fault.

-Why?

-Getting a new mom is,
well, it's freaky.

And I guess I didn't know
how to handle it.

-Do I really scare
you that much?

-I know I've been really stupid,
but I really want to

fix things.

All you have to do
is come with me.

[boat motor]

-[SINGING] All of my life,
and the dreams

that we've been thinking.

And the truth in your
eyes shows you

love that never dies.

And on this day, lover my best
friend, all I can give you, my

heart is true.

All we are feeling, all that
feeling, needed, hold me

forever, soon we'll be one.

Carry us home.

-It's perfect.

-Well, it's been a long day, and
it was touch and go there

for a little while, but we're
all very happy to be here to

witness Don and Sam pledge their
lifelong commitment,

love, and devotion.

Do you, Don Sertori,
take Samantha

Roberts to be your wife?

-I do.

-I now pronounce you
man and wife.

[cheering]

-I got to say it--

you did great today.

-Thank you.

-You did!

-So you're really not
going because of me?

-Yeah, I meant what I said.

-But that's not fair.

I want you to have your dream.

-Uh, what do you mean?

-I can't stand in your way, it
Lewis, even if that means

losing you.

-Cleo--

-You have to go.

-Here's the new family!

-You're going to do important
stuff there that

you can't do here.

-Yeah, I know.

It just-- it just
seems so quick.

It just seems so final.

-Well, it doesn't have
to be forever.

I could come visit.

-To America?

-Hey, I'm a mermaid.

I can swim.

It's no big deal.

-The Pacific Ocean is
quite a big deal.

-Uh, I'll make a stopover
in Hawaii.

This doesn't have
to be the end.

-Oh, Cleo!

Long distance relationships
never work.

Sooner or later, they
always end.

And-- and I don't want
everything that we've ever had

to just drift away.

-We'll see each other again.

-Yeah, we will.

We will.

But things will have changed.

We'll be living different lives,
and no matter what we

say now, things--

things will be different.

-Lewis, you've always
been there for me.

Whenever I was in trouble, I
could always depend on you.

You have to go fulfill
your potential, and

I've got to let you.

This isn't the end, OK?

-Did I ever tell you how
amazing you are?

-You've told me once or twice.

-I'm gonna miss you so much.

-I love you.

-Good luck.

-Thanks.

-You OK?

-He's gone.

[boat motor]

-But at least we'll be looking
at the same ocean.

[sniffling]

CLOSING THEME SONG: 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 amongst the H2O.

'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 ocean.

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 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.
