Million Dollar Mermaid Page #4

But you're invited to stay and

sample my cooking if you like to.

No. Now, we wouldn't

think of imposing on you.

There's plenty and I insist.

Well, I guess it's better than

looking at the clown

dressing and all that.

Besides, I'm getting awfully

tired of those rich food.

We'll stay.

Wonderful.

Make yourself comfortable

and I'll get things ready.

Thanks.

By the way, how's Sydney?

Sensational.

He's developed the one-two punch.

And I've got the jaw to proof it.

Yes, the greatest act

ever put under attempt.

There's only one thing wrong.

No one knows about it.

That's where you'll come in.

That's where I come in?

We figured that if we could

get enough people down there,

the rest

would take care of itself.

So we thought maybe

if you'd be interested in,

Well, making a little money.

Money? How?

Well, the idea I had in mind

was a swim down the Temps.

Maybe five or six miles

ending up at the carnaval.

We'd follow you

in a row boat, of course.

Yeah. If Sydney could swim,

we wouldn't be bothering you.

We'll pay you five pounds

and fifty percent

of the day's proceeds.

Well... if you're going to

stage a swim,

why won't you make it a real one?

What do you mean?

Well, that six miles

won't impress anybody,

but twenty-six miles might.

Twenty-six miles. Holy smoke.

I can't even row that far.

I can't understand

what happen to the reporters.

I've notified the press.

Maybe they thought

we were crackpots.

I wouldn't blame them.

Nobody dare think of doing this.

I think we better start.

How do you feel? Cold.

I can't see two feet of me.

Which way do we go?

Just point the boat down river.

Ready, honey?

Good luck, honey.

Good luck, Annette.

Well, Sydney, here we come.

Annette, where are you?

Here.

Why, me.

There's a girl in the water.

Look out in there.

Under the cloud.

Hang on, Miss.

We'll toss you a line.

Never mind there.

Which way is the drainage?

That way.

Thank you.

Drainage?

Did she say drainage?

How do you feel?

I could swim fifty miles

in this current.

Save your strength, honey.

You'll be needing

it when we hit the tides.

Great Scott.

What's that girl trying to do?

Get off this story.

She'll never get pass

the Tower bridge.

Australian girl in marathon swim.

Australian girl in marathon swim.

Australian girl...

There she is. Listen.

There's Westministers Bridge.

What are all those buildings?

Parliament. And that's Big Ben.

Beautiful sight, isn't it?

I can think of a prettier sight.

What's that?

Food. I'm starving.

We'll leave in half hour.

Keep swimming.

Hey, John.

Look at all those people.

Come on, girl.

There she is. Yes. There she is.

Take it on.

Good girl. Good girl.
