Ondine Page #2

- Yes.

- Thought I might catch another.

- Another girl like me?

Yes. Maybe the sea is full of them.

- Can I come with?

- No.

- Why?

- Thought you didn't want to be seen.

- I can hide again.

- And it's bad luck.

- A girl on a boat?

- For the fishing.

Have you been having good luck lately?

None.

OK, then. Get in.

What was that song you were singing?

- Just a song.

- But you remembered it?

- I must have.

- Do you remember your name?

- You can call me Ondine.

- That's nice.

- What's it mean?

- She came from the water.

Ondine means

"she came from the water"?

No. Ondine was the girl

that came from the water.

- When?

- Long time ago.

Do you want to help?

Load that pot over there.

Over there.

- They're empty.

- So they are.

- Did someone rob them?

- I hope not.

- My God.

- What?

- You're playing games with me.

- No, I'm not.

What did you just do?

- I... I sang.

- Yeah. I know. Come down here.

Sing again, would you?

Jesus... you bring me luck.

- Luck?

- Haven't had much.

- Everyone needs luck.

- They do. Not everyone gets it.

- Maybe it's your turn.

- That would be nice.

Right, come over here.

Help me tie their claws.

Right, put one in-between your legs

so he doesn't bite you.

And then just do

the other one like this.

- What do you do with them?

- What do you think?

- Eat them.

- No. Sell them.

- You always catch this much?

- No. Almost never.

Right. There you go.

Claws there. Grab that.

It wasn't your song, you know.

Couldn't have been.

- No.

- They were already in the pots.

- Watch yourself.

- OK.

Why you put them back?

Save them for a rainy day.

We sell the rest.

We'll get something for these.

- We?

- Your share of the catch.

You did sing. Just don't go

around town singing for everyone.

Come on into the Co-op,

we'll get ten euro a pound.

I don't want to meet anyone.

You've met me.

You're the only one.

OK.

- How are you, Mary?

- All right, Circus.

- You've done well today, then?

- Yes, for a change.

- And they say there's no lobster left.

- They do.

- Thank you very much.

- Lovely.

- Can I help you, Circus?

- Tracy, would this go near you?

- You want me to try it?

- OK.

It's a bit tight around here.

- At least you're not invisible.

- What?

Nothing. I'll take it.

- For who?

- Just for Annie.

- This would never fit Annie.

- It will someday.

- What do you think, Circus?

- I think that's not my name.

Sorry. Da.

- Do they give you a hard time?

- No, they're jealous.

How many of them have their own

set of wheels? Motorised wheels.

- What are we doing?

- I was going to drive you home.

- I'll race you.

- Annie...

- Yeah?

- Go on so.

- So, what's the story?
