03x15 - Power Play

[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.

-Hi.

-Hello.

BELLA [OFFSCREEN]: Is
this a new dolphin?

CLEO [OFFSCREEN]: Yes.

-How is she?

-Um, still not letting
anyone near her.

-She's still frightened.

CLEO [OFFSCREEN]: The wounds
are better now, but--

-It took a long time
to heal though.

She hurt herself pretty badly
trying to get out of that

fishing net.

-Oh, it's so sad to think about
them getting caught like

that.

-At least we got
to her in time.

-The Dolphin Rescue program's
a really great job

-We do what we can, but we never
have the money to do as

much as we'd like.

[text message]

-It's from Kim.

She said there's some sort
of emergency at home.

Hey, look, do you
mind if I go?

-Yeah, all right.

Sure.

-This is the emergency?

-It creeps me out.

-I think it's interesting.

-Yeah, if you're interested
in being creeped out.

All her stuff's like this.

-That's because Sam's
traveled a lot.

-Yeah, well, she should know
better than to buy junk.

Our house is going to be
jammed with this stuff.

-Oh, come on.

There's not that much stuff.

KIM [OFFSCREEN]: Really?

-Wow, Sam.

That's interesting.

-Isn't it?

I got it from a bazaar
in Morocco.

-Can you get a refund?

-Heh, it is a bit challenging,
isn't it.

-I think it's good
to be challenged.

-Well, I think this one
should go upstairs.

-I'll give you a hand.

-Thank you.

-Kim, can you help carry a
couple of things too, please?

-Think about all the dolphins
we could save.

And all it takes is a few
thousand dollars.

-That's all?

-Well, people would give money
for sure if they knew the work

that Dolphin Rescue did.

-Hmm.

All we need is some
sort of publicity.

-Like a concert.

-I guess.

-Yeah, we could do it!

We could put a fundraising
concert on at the cafe, w work

for Rescue.

-Well, Rikki would support it
for sure, and Dolphin Rescue

would love it.

-Yeah.

-Not interrupting, I hope.

Got any more dishes?

-Uh, no.

Thanks, Sis.

Seriously, you should
at least ask Zane.

We all know he loves being
in the spotlight.

-Well, yeah.

I mean, it would get in
the papers for sure,

and maybe even TV.

It would be great publicity
for the cafe.

-Yeah.

RIKKI [OFFSCREEN]: A fundraising
concert?

-Inside?

For who?

-To raise money for
Dolphin Rescue.

-Right.

And the cafe would do the
whole thing for free?

-Yeah.

But think of the publicity.

It's sure to get in the papers,
maybe even on TV.

-Right, TV.

-Yeah.

We could host it.

Bella's band could play.

-We'll have to make sure the
press knows all about it.

-This is a really good idea.

-Thank you.

It'll be a lot of work--

hiring extra gear, putting
on extra staff.

-I guess I'd better
get started then.

-Or you could let me do it.

I feel kind of bad coming up
with the idea, then dumping it

all on you.

-Well, I mean, we can
do it together.

-Sure, but like you don't have
enough to do already.

And there'll be so many
details to sort out,

especially with the publicity.

-Hmm, I guess.

-That's true.

I mean, we don't want to leave
anything to chance.

-OK, the whole thing's
your baby.

Just keep us updated.

-Totally.

-Ugh, what is that smell?

-It's a recipe I picked up from
a tribe of goat herders

in East Africa.

-I don't like it.

-You've never tried it.

-That's right, because
I don't like it.

-Come on, now.

-Maybe I'll have some toast.

-Oh, Vermisha won't
be very happy.

She's the spirit of adventure
and trying new things.

-And which one's the spirit
of indigestion?

Because that's what I'll
have if I eat that.

-Kim.

-Have you been to East
Africa very often?

-Um, yeah, a couple of times.

Some parts of it are pretty
inhospitable.

-You know what?

I think I'm tired out from
helping carry Vermisha and her

friends in.

Is it OK if I go to bed?

-All right.

-Night.

Enjoy.

-Thanks.

[knocking]

-I'm in here.

SAM [OFFSCREEN]: There's no
reason why we can't share.

-Yes, there is.

If you get in here, you'll
just jam it up with

more of that junk.

Sam, go and use the
other bathroom.

-[WHISPERING] Quiet, I
think you're gonna--

KIM [OFFSCREEN]: I don't care
if it's getting renovated!

---wake Cleo.

KIM [OFFSCREEN]: I already have
to share this with Cleo,

and that is bad enough.

-Sorry.

-What's the matter?

-I wanna use the bathroom.

Your dad's still renovating the
one downstairs, but Kim

won't let me in.

-Why not?

-This is mine and
Cleo's bathroom.

Wait until she wakes up.

She'll tell you.

-I am awake, Kim.

-And who's bathroom is it?

-Ours, and I say
Sam can use it.

KIM [OFFSCREEN]: And
I say she can't!

-Oh, it's OK.

I know she's finding it
difficult adjusting.

I just thought us girls could
at least share a bathroom.

-Of course we can.

Leave it to me.

That's it, Kim.

Now I wanna use the
bathroom too.

I'm coming in.

Is this locked?

KIM [OFFSCREEN]: Can
you open it?

-No.

-Then it's locked.

-Hey, how you feeling, girl?

You going all right?

-Hey.

What do you think about a
concert to raise money for

Dolphin Rescue?

-Yeah, it's a great idea.

-You like it?

-Yeah, I'm going to go check out
the cafe she was talking

about as a venue this morning.

-Who's talking about?

-Sophie.

-Sophie.

-Yeah, Will's sister.

-No, I know who Sophie is.

Thanks.

-You're saying I stole
your idea?

So I'm a thief.

-No, you're just not telling
the whole truth.

-So I'm a liar.

-Well, a bit.

-Well, she might be
overenthusiastic, but--

-She was right there!

-I know you don't like me
because I think you're a bad

influence on Will.

-That has nothing
to do with it.

-But I think the important thing
here is the dolphins.

-I agree.

-Then what's it matter
whose idea it was?

-She's right.

It doesn't matter.

-Not to her.

It wasn't her idea,
and you know it.

-Hey, Bella, come on.

You're overreacting.

-No, I'm not.

[knocking]

[knocking]

-Yes?

-Kim.

You're in there again.

KIM [OFFSCREEN]: There's
no law against it.

-I hope you're not in a hurry.

-Aww, Kim!

-I didn't realize there
was a queue.

-Do you mind if I go first?

I'll be really quick.

-No, you should go in turn.

Sam's been waiting ages.

-You're worried about how
long Sam's been waiting?

-Yeah.

-Right.

-It's fine, it's fine.

-Thank you.

Kim!

-Is there a problem?

[tail flopping]

-Cleo, are you OK?

CLEO [OFFSCREEN]:
Yeah, I'm fine.

-Will you be much longer?

-Uh, ah, hard to say.

-I don't understand him.

Why can't he see what
she's doing?

-I don't care what
the time is.

If I'm up, you should be too.

I need to know that I will
have it by tomorrow.

-She has done a good job so far,
and she's got some really

good ideas.

-Any of them her own?

Sorry.

I shouldn't let her bug me.

Who cares whose idea
the concert was?

-You sure?

-Yeah, just as long
as it happens.

-Well, it won't be
without you.

We want you and the band
to be the main act.

-That'd be great.

RIKKI [OFFSCREEN]:
Who was that?

-Room sound system.

It's all under control.

-Great.

Uh, Bella was just telling me
how excited she was that the

band will be playing.

-Definitely.

-Good.

I'll let you know when you'll
be on once I've

worked out the details.

Is that OK with you?

-That'll be fine.

-Great.

And I'll be sure to keep
you in the loop.

-You've got to admit,
she's a go-getter.

-Yeah, she is.

Just gotta be careful what
it is she's going after.

-Cleo, are you OK in there?

-Yep, I'm just a little
bit busy.

SAM [OFFSCREEN]:
Busy with what?

-Nothing.

But I'll be a little
while longer.

-She's very selfish.

-Cleo, please.

I'm running seriously late.

This isn't funny.

-I know.

I'll just be a little
while longer.

-But you said we could share.

CLEO [OFFSCREEN]: And we can.

-Well, how is this sharing?

-Yeah, Cleo, how?

-You were the one that
locked yourself here

in the first place.

-Yeah, until I realized
that that was wrong.

Sam needs to use our bathroom,
and you should let her.

-Thank you.

-So we're coming in.

-No!

-Hey!

-What's all the noise?

What's going on?

-You better come out
of there, Cleo.

I mean it.

-Yeah, Kim?

Or what?

DON [OFFSCREEN]: Cleo?

-Um--

[knocking]

-Open the door!

CLEO [OFFSCREEN]:
I'm sorry, Dad.

I'm--

I'm almost done.

-Oh, I really can't wait.

I'm going to have to shower
at the office.

-Oh.

Well, sorry, darling.

I'm very disappointed
in you, Cleo.

Very disappointed.

-We all are.

[drumroll]

-OK, here's the schedule.

-We're on last?

-If there's time.

-What?

-Rikki said that we--

-Rikki's put me in charge.

-Fine.

-Man, could that chick
be any hotter?

-Oh, and one other thing.

Here's the list of songs
I would like you to do.

-Why?

-I'm trying to coordinate
all the bands so

there's no double up.

-We can't play these.

-That's a pity, because this
whole concert is based around

a theme.

-We only do originals.

-Let me put it this way.

You're not performing
unless you play the

songs on that list.

-Well, we're not gonna do it.

-Your call.

Um, can you pack up the gear so
the next band can come on?

-You're firing us?

-No, it sounded like
you just quit.

-Hey, you finished rehearsing
already?

-You might say that.

Thanks to your sister,
we're out.

-Rikki would never
let her do that.

-Maybe she didn't
talk to Rikki.

I don't want to argue with
you or with Sophie.

I wanted to help
Dolphin Rescue.

That's all.

I just hope that that's where
Sophie's coming from too.

-Can you get them to ring me as
soon as they get back in?

[knocking]

-Yes, it's Sophie,
and it's urgent.

-Got a minute?

-Not really.

-Well, I'll try and make
it quick then.

It's about Bella.

-What did she tell you?

-It's a little bit dramatic,
isn't it?

Firing her?

-I didn't fire her.

She quit.

She couldn't do what
was required, so I

had to fix the situation.

That's what a manager does.

-Right.

And it has nothing to do with
her accusing you of

stealing her idea?

-No.

I just want this function
to be a success.

-I can believe that.

But you've never really
liked her.

-What does that have to
do with anything?

-Soph, don't deny it.

-You seem to like her enough
for the both of us.

And right now, the dolphins
are more important

than both of you.

So just let me do my job,
and this concert

might just get there.

Look, I know you're an
experienced band, but you'll

only have to play for an hour.

Yeah.

Bye.

-How's it all going?

-Great, despite Bella
walking out.

-And the concert's all set?

-I'm going out to meet
the new band now.

-Why exactly did Bella quit?

-I think she had a problem with
me being in charge, which

I guess is fair enough.

Although you'd think she could
put our issues on hold for

something like this.

-More miso soup?

-This is delicious.

I'm sure Cleo would love
a bowl, a big one.

-Cleo?

-No, thank you.

I've actually got a
concert to set up.

-Not so fast.

Are you planning to use the
bathroom before you go?

-Yep.

-Then you'll have to
wait your turn.

As long as we're operating with
one bathroom, we'll be

following this roster.

-A roster?

-Sam, as the newest member of
the family, will go first.

-Good idea.

-Kim will go next.

And after your performance
yesterday morning, you'll go--

-Dad, I apologized
for yesterday.

-So just to make sure we all
treat each other with

consideration from
now on, there'll

be no changes allowed.

Anyone who argues might find
themselves with no bathroom

privileges at all.

-Really delicious.

[phone rings]

-Hello, Rikki's Cafe.

Hi, Laurie.

How are you?

-Um, not that good, actually.

-Sorry, I--

I don't understand.

Is there something wrong?

-Oh, that's-- that's
putting it mildly.

Dolphin Rescue are going to
pull out of the concert.

-Uh, why?

-Because we can't afford it.

-Can't afford it?

Sorry, I--

I don't understand.

The fundraiser is about
making you money.

LAURIE [ON PHONE]: Well, that's
not what your email led

me to believe.

-My email?

-If you don't do this, you will
never work for us again.

Are you there?

-Where's the band?

-They're traveling.

-What does that mean?

Give me the phone.

I'll get them here now.

What?

-None of the bands have
confirmed they're appearing

yet.

-But the concert starts
in an hour.

-We had bands, but then they
started pulling out.

I think Bella might have
put the word out.

-Well, it's an hour til
we start, and we

haven't got a band.

-I'm not surprised, seeing as
Sophie here's been trying to

charge bands to appear.

-Charge them?

-And get this--

she's also been trying to charge
Dolphin Rescue, the

very people we're
trying to help.

-They're getting the profits
and publicity out of it.

The least they can do is help
us cover some costs.

-But we're advertising we're
doing it for free.

-It didn't seem right to me that
you should have to cop

all those expenses.

-Oh, so it was to protect us.

-Yes.

-And that's why you attached my
name to the email that you

sent to Dolphin Rescue?

-Hey, I'm making serious
money for dolphins.

I'm the good guy here.

-Well, I see why
Bella quit now.

-OK, maybe I made some mistakes,
but you need me to

make this work.

-Oh, see, uh, I--

I don't think we do.

Zane?

-No.

I don't think we do either.

-You're firing me?

-Yep.

-After all the work
I've put in?

-All wasted on someone
else's idea.

Well, that was stressful.

-Not as stressful as telling
the crowd there's no band.

-Hey.

-Hi.

-Thanks for letting me use the
bathroom before, even though

it wasn't my turn.

-Oh, that's OK.

I remember what it's like
being a teenager with a

younger sister.

Thought I'd put some
of the offending

pieces away, you know.

Try and keep the peace.

-Ah ha.

Hey, I really do like your
cooking, by the way.

-That's good, because I thought
I'd make laksa for

dinner tonight now that Kim's
tastes have broadened.

How hot do you think
she can take it?

-I don't think she likes
it that hot, actually.

-I'm thinking extra spicy.

-Well, then Dad's going to have
to hurry up with those

bathroom renovations then.

-I'll make sure of it.

-I thought I might
find you here.

-Shouldn't you be
at the concert?

-What concert?

Sophie couldn't get a band.

This is the part where you
get to say I told you so.

You were totally right
about her.

-Don't feel so bad.

Sneaky and manipulative are
what she does best.

-Yeah, but you warned me.

So I'm sorry.

-You had to do what you thought
was the right thing

for the concert.

-Still, I got her completely
wrong.

-So have you got
anybody coming?

-Laurie says there's
heaps of interest.

-Right.

So if you've got a crowd,
all you need is a band.

-Yep.

-This could be the biggest crowd
you've ever played to.

-Let's hope so.

-You're not nervous, are you?

-No, I'm just glad that we're
actually playing.

-I'm sorry about that.

I keep trying to tell myself
that Sophie's just ambitious,

but she was seriously
out of line.

I should've said something.

-No, no, you were being
a loyal brother.

I understand.

-All right.

We're ready to go?

-You look great.

-Thanks.

-You all look great.

-Why, thank you, Will.

-We better get going.

-Showtime.

-Would you like to
make a donation?

Thank you.

-Ahem, um.

It's, uh, it's great to see
so many people here today

supporting Dolphin Rescue.

[applause]

-Your generous donations go
directly to saving and

protecting these amazing
creatures, so dig deep.

And now, what you've all
been waiting for--

Bella and the Band!

[applause]

-Hello!

Thanks for coming, everyone.

It's great to be playing
for you, believe me.

Uh, this is a really great
cause, so let's get going.

[SINGING] When I think of the
rays of the sun that shine so

bright on me, then I think of
the sound of your voice, a

rainbow over seas.

It's like a fire in me.

No one but you can
make me sing.

Wind on my face, you're
everything.

Dream of the place
I see within.

It feels so right.

I'm gonna feel the day begin.

Wind on the waves, you're
everything.

Warmth of the sand, you're
here with me.

It feels so right.

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 oyster.

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 see, the world's
my oyster.

I'm the pearl, no
ordinary girl.
