GRANDPA:

Ray, hope you're

ready to clean.

( sighs )

Wow.

( both giggling )

Thinkyou'll have to

call off Last Splash?

- No! No, Mr. B.!

- No!

No, no, no, no, no, Mr. B!

You can't- I'm sorry,

but you can't do that!

Mr. B.,

me and Claire

have been planning

for this for, like, ever.

GRANDPA:

It'll be all right.

Grandpa, are the pool lights

still on?

( screaming )

Claire!

( woman humming eerily)

( screams )

( screaming )

Hold on, you're okay.

There's a shark

in the pool!

You're okay, you're okay.

Shh. I got you.

Here, somebody get

the chair!

- ( coughing )

- Calm down.

- There you go.

- Here.

She may be in shock.

Take a deep breath.

Claire, are you all right?

She gets scared

in the water.

- Her parents drowned.

- ( coughing )

GRANDPA:

You all right, honey?

I saw something.

It's in there,

and I don't know

what it was!

( coughing )

Halfthe ocean washed up

in there last night.

Hailey,

take Claire inside.

Leonard,

lock up the patio.

I don't want anyone else

falling in.

LEoNARD:

okay, clean it, lock it. Got it.

That was, that

was tight, Ray.

Thanks, Ray.

- Hey...

- Come on!

- Hey!

- oh, my God...

Raymond totallyjumped

in there to save you,

with his actual biceps.

Did you feel them

around you?

Were they flexed?

oh, God, they

must've been flexed.

Ifyou had

stopped breathing!

You were, like, this close

to mouth-to-mouth.

There's something

in there.

I'm serious!

It looked like...

I can't even say it,

but I swear, it just stared

at me with its eyes!

You're in shock...

from touching Raymond!

Hailey, I know what I saw.

Fine, then we'll

just go back

when no one is looking,

and we'll check it out.

No way, Hail.

I didn't mean to get

in the water in the first place,

and I'm not going

back there again.

Something bad

could've happened.

Come on, Clairedy cat.

Put on your big girl pants

and meet me at 9:00.

( whispers ):

Be careful!

Grandpa'll be

super mad at us.

- ( door creaks )

- ( gasps ) It's Leonard.

( quietly):

Come on.

( rattling, squeaking )

( rattling, squeaking )

Hey, maybe we should get

fishing poles out or something.

Shh, shh, shh. No.

I don't want to catch it.

I want to feed it.

Fish sticks?

Maybe it was an octopus.

( sighs ):

With blue hair

- and a tail?

- It could've been blue seaweed

or kelp.

It was not an octopus,

and it wasn't kelp!

You want one?

I saw hair!

God!

Listen,

ifyou're gonna ignore

every single word I say,

- I can hang out alone.

- I'm not ignoring you.

( both talking at once )

YoUNG WoMAN:

I bet I know what it was.

( girls gasp )

I'm guessing...

it was a mermaid.

Mm... mm...

( girls gasping )

( both gasp )
