LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXLlU7IxaP
(smiles; to LILY) Yeah... yeah...

(Lily smiles at LUKE; addressing his tail by his definition ‘Lite,’ by mermaid traditions and culture. Luke grabs Lily’s hand as he lifts his tail above shore; and allows Lily to pat his tail. The texture of the tail; is hard-like stone; with fearsome strength and bones attached to it)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDFKZJIMiu
(patting tail) Woah... it’s... it’s...

(LUKE smiles as he feels the sensation of LILY patting his tail)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G5AM0M6O8
(smiles; to LUKE) Woah... your lite... is...

(LILY smiles at LUKE: Luke recognises Lily’s amazement)

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTHuwGpyBy
(smiles; to LILY) My lite.. is... im-tant...

(LUKE struggles to say the word “important” to LILY; describing his tail. Lily understands what LUKE is trying to say)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uug5rel5j
(clarifies; to LUKE) Important...

(LUKE understands the word “IMPORTANT’ and nods his head)

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2O4wNEp9u
(nods head) Yeah... I must... look after it...

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKAfvoQWoj
(smiles; to LUKE) Yes... yes you mist do..

(Lily continues looking at LUKE’s hard-textured bone-like purple tail. Lily tries again to ask LUKE MERMAN for directions back to ashore; but ultimately knows it will be a fail. She tries speaking in stutter; hoping LUKE will understand her)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d2quFfFMX
(questions LUKE) I... my... land... I need... get... to... land... Understand?

(LUKE begins to sob; as he doesn’t understand what LILY is trying to say; and puts his head down. LILY notices LUKE’s miscomprehension of her words. Lily gives up; and accepts staying on the abandoned island for ever long she is there; and forgets her university lecture classes. She worries about her friend OPAL; after being knocked out by the bully CURTIS)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY7tYLV0xz
(assures LUKE) Hey... it’s okay... Don’t worry about it...

(LUKE still feels saddened; at not being able to understand LILY. LILY attempts to comfort LUKE; by putting her hand on LUKE’s bare shoulder; stroking it)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqfDwe8jry
(assures LUKE) It’s okay... It’s...

(LUKE notices the “stroking” as a calming technique; as identified in his merman traditions and culture. LUKE automatically hugs LUKE out of the blue; and feels LUKE’s intense, higher-evolved human strength within his biology. LILY is shocked by the day she has had; by the fact she has met a merman; with which she thought were not real. Lily pats LUKE on the back; as LUKE hugs her)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpZMkb5Wod
(pats LUKE’s back) It’s okay... it’s okay...

(LILY hears LUKE lift his purple tail up from underwater; smacking the ocean hard with it; due to his emotional romantic affection he feels within LILY. LILY is stunned by the noise; yet still allows LUKE to hug her. Lily lets go minutes later. HOURS PASS - IT IS 9PM at night; LILY becomes tired... and yawns)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNugMPnegkc
(yawns; to LUKE) Tired...

(LUKE is yet confused of the meaning of ‘tired.’ LUKE watches Lily’s eyes struggle to stay open; and identifies LILY is becoming sleepy and wishes to sleep. LUKE holds Lily like a baby; and feels intensely protective of her. Lily questions LUKE’s motives)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN6qYaSYx1
(concerned; to LUKE) What... what are you doing?

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5FIL6X87K
(questions LILY) You... you sleepy? (rubs eyes to signify sleepiness)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDuqZw3wAm
(to LUKE) Yes... yes merman... sleepy... I want to sleep...

(LUKE MERMAN fears Lily’s safety surrounding wild marine animals; whilst she sleeps on the circular-land area of the little island. LUKE MERMAN realises as human; Lily can not breathe underwater like he can; yet cannot survive underwater)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBSyWY8O5R
(Concerned; to LUKE) You okay...

(LUKE doesn’t know what LILY has just said to him. He lays her down back on her back; on the small land area of the abandoned island)

LUKE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM9gGC9G87
(alerts LILY) Be... back...

(LILY watches LUKE flip over high in the air by his tail; to dive underwater. LILY is both in awe and shock; as LUKE swims underwater to his residence; stealing a shell pillow his elder sister had created as a craft. He returns above water towards LILY up in the air; and sits on the island circular-land area besides LILY once again; resting his tail underwater. LILY notices a large shell sculpture in LUKE’s hand and questions LUKE what it is he is holding)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW3iznvfMi
(questions LUKE) What’s that you’ve got holding there?

(LUKE doesn’t understand LILY’s question and doesn’t respond. With LILY lying down on the island floor; LUKE carefully and tenderly lifts LILY’s head up; and puts the shell pillow-like sculpture under LILY’s head. LUKE then carefully lies Lily’s head on the pillow-like shell sculpture. LILY is surprised with LILY’s thinking abilities)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIssqa6QbA
(smiles; to LUKE) Oh thank you... That is utmost kind of you... thank you...

(LUKE is confused to what “THANK YOU” means; or any of the words in which Lily has just stated to him. He stares at her obsessively in love; Lily notices)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAuGEIzsPd
(smiles; to LUKE) I’m not sure if you know what “THANK YOU” means but thank you... You made a pillow for me... so creative... you mermans and mermaids must be artistic souls...

(LUKE doesn’t understand LILY’s words; but regards Lily’s smile as a “thank you.” A PAUSE. LUKE doesn’t want LILY to leave; and begs her to stay via vocal and sign language communication)

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n2au8SP6w
(begs LILY) You... stay... with... (points at his heart) Me... plea...

(LILY realises LUKE tries to murmur the words “PLEASE.” Lily clarifies)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOlGKp7hfj
(to LUKE) Stay with... (points at LUKE) You...

LUKE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMQj7LKLc1
(correctly says ‘please’) Please...

(LILY thinks back to her university studies and lectures; but reluctantly agrees with LUKE; not wanting to upset his sensitive soul)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUsCziS0e2
(nods head) I will... stay...

(LUKE becomes overwhelmingly excited in love; and kisses her on the lips as she is still lying down. LILY smiles as she identifies the merman’s love for her. LUKE obsessively watches Lily; as she falls asleep minutes later. Luke kisses her on the lips once again; and stares at her sleeping for 10 mins straight. SUDDENLY - LUKE MERMAN hears his father calling him from underwater. He kisses LILY on the lips one more time; and vows to return tomorrow morning... He flips backwards high up in the air; and dives underwater to his underwater home. The scene ends)

INT. MERMAN COLONY - PACIFIC OCEAN

(LUKE MERMAN swims underwater to his residence; where he lives with his father; elder sister; and the other merman. gang. Luke swims to his grumpy father FARKLE; Farkle doesn’t appear happy and is a very grumpy merman. Luke speaks in merman english language)

FARKLE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oHaCzG5Nn
(grumpy; to LUKE) Luke... where have you been?

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5wkxhs9oq

(A mermaid with a purple tail by the name of GLORY; stumbles by LUKE. GLORY is the elder sister of LUKE)

GLORY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKStKfhniQ
(smiles; to LUKE) Luke I think you were... I think you were... As your elder sister; I was concerned to about your whereabouts...

(LUKE breaks the truth to his father and elder sister)

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkcNCfOmY4
(annoyed; to FARKLE & GLORY) There was a girl that needed saving.. Some sharks would have killed her if I didn’t kill them...

(GLORY & FARKLE look at LUKE MERMAN for further input on his whereabouts. Luke grows annoyed and breaks the truth)

LUKE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAyb9fYI1r
(annoyed; to FARKLE)... I liked the GIRL... She is a whole new language PAKA... A whole new language to learn...

FARKLE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN8NN3tLcG
(annoyed; to LUKE MERMAN) Stuff the humans... They destroy the planet with plastics in our ocean... There all climate destroyers... our lovely ocean has been polluted with their crap...

GLORY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKmEdhKtUQ
(smiles; to LUKE) My little brother is falling in love... How sweet Luke...

FARKLE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Q3g5s4rt
(annoyed; to LUKE) Under my will; there’s no way you’re falling in love with a human... you’re marrying a mermaid... not a female human...

(THIS UPSETS LUKE; as he becomes aggravated with his father)

LUKE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3UglU7HeD
(shouts at FARKLE) No... I want to be with this GIRL... I WANT THIS GIRL... THIS WOMAN... I don’t care if she is human... I DON’T CARE... I love her... I want her..

FARKLE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlpBQwpZtP

## SCREENWRITER’S NOTE - MERMAN LANGUAGE-ENGLISH LITERATURE IS APPLICABLE AND STATED IN THE INDEX OF THIS SCREENPLAY. PLEASE FIND ATTACHED TO BOTTOM ##

(LUKE MERMAN swims away at a fast pace in anger and annoyance of his father’s wishes. Being the fastest merman in the colony; LUKE swims away in lightning speed. MEANWWHILE - GLORY is concerned of his younger brother’s wellbeing; and looks at her father)

GLORY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V7CoAtHK3
(worried; to FARKLE) Dad... Luke might really like this girl... I know it’s merman tradition... but you should let him be with who he wants to be...

FARKLE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3KMycSFu0
(Annoyed; to GLORY) Like you said Glory... it’s our tradition.. our merman tradition. Your brother knows this; and he is deliberately disrespecting our tradition.. it’s disrespectful...

GLORY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsh65ZFjyZ
(Saddened; to GLORY) I know but...

FARKLE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzyBEXErXs
(smiles; to FARKLE) I found a good merman for you... DUNE... He treats you well... Soon you will bare little lido with him... Luke will too bear children with DAISY. Not this other girl he wants to be with... This human he wants to be with... Friggin hybrid grandlido I’ll have if he was with her...

(GLORY disagrees with her father on his wishes for his son; and agrees-to-disagrees; avoiding arguments and confrontation)

GLORY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL3aGy76Lj
(saddened; to FARKLE) I know... I know... I might try to find Luke...

FARKLE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvSfoDQUjD
(annoyed; to GLORY) Leave it to tomorrow morning. He better not be with that girl again... Catch him tomorrow.. and bring him to me... He’s not going to marry a “mouthin” human... Bugger him...

GLORY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtGWjzM5tC

INT. ABANDONED ISLAND - PACIFIC OCEAN

(IT IS 8AM in the morning. LUKE MERMAN swims above water; and notices the awake LILY on the small-circular land. Lily is shocked and stunned; LUKE is unhappy with his father regarding the merman culture and expectations he was brought up in)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipj1FPfL3v
(smiles; to LUKE) Hey...

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ5mX94lxt
(saddened; to LILY) Hey...

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyiQ0dQMca
(concerned; to LUKE) What... What’s wrong? You seem sad...

(LUKE doesn’t know what LILY said once again; and doesn’t answer the question)

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA6aCaxmPv
(questions Lily) Sleep... How... How sleep?

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Lp5XIwc8
(clarifies question; to LUKE) Sleep... How was sleep?

(LUKE MERMAN nods his head regarding the question he asked; and awaits her answer)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj1wQOWgKe
(smiles; to LUKE) Good... (nods head) Good...

(LUKE hugs Lily out of the blue; accidentally using brute strength in the process as he pulls her forward to his barechest. Lily is stunned by the pulling; yet feels the wet, damp skin of Luke’s torso flooding her white blouse. SUDDENLY: Lily sees a large mermaid flip above water with a purple tail; then dives back underwater. Lily is shocked)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB1iNaGwLh
(shocked; to LUKE) What was that? Was that a mermaid???

(LUKE stops hugging Lily; and looks out at the ocean; and instantly knows his older sister is near; and is annoyed. LUKE speaks in merman english language fluently; Lily notices the change from slurred speech; to fluent speech in LUKE's voice)

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0urqGFryvX
(annoyed; to GLORY) What are you doing GLORY? Go away.. go...

(GLORY makes herself seen; as she lifts her head above water. Lily notices the purple tail on GLORY)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTMUPDJhcE
(amazed; to LUKE) A mermaid.. (looks at LUKE) She’s got the same tail as you...

(LUKE MERMAN smiles as LILY smiles; yet is annoyed with his elder sister’s interription. GLORY swims closer to LILY; and possesses greater human English knowledge than her brother)

GLORY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV3QU8TkwT
(Smiles; to LILY) You must be the human my little brother likes...

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU6reYoHMR

GLORY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6JJ9Nng8Z
(smiles; to GLORY) Yes... I’m Luke’s brother...

(LILY learns GLORY’s name and LUKE’s name. Lily is still amazed of seeing the first real-life mermaid in her life)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJLTITgpez
(looks at LUKE) So your name is Luke....

(LUKE’s strong misunderstanding of the English language still makes it hard for himself to understand LILY)

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW8LQOaICP
(smiles; to Lily) Name... (points at himself) Luke...

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEuJjQNtzY
(smiles to LUKE) Your name... (points at LUKE) is Luke...

(LUKE smiles and nods his head)

GLORY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RsCX0xVtw
(to Lily) Sorry um... my brother’s human English is broken... and he stutters quite a bit we’re still working on it with him... That’s why he has trouble understanding human English sometimes....

(LUKE MERMAN becomes annoyed with his elder sister. LUKE smacks his tail hard on the water; creating a bang with the strength of his tail. GLORY is shocked of her brother’s anger directed at her)

(worried; to LUKE) Okay... you can... I’ll shut up... But do you even know this girl’s name.. I’m sure it’s not just ‘girl...’

(LUKE MERMAN understands his elder sister’s comments; and tries to ask LILY for her name whilst struggling with human english communication)

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy2FEH9dy3

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi0SNhh5fg
(questions LUKE) Who’s Daisy... some mermaid you don’t like?

(LUKE MERMAN tries to respond; but struggles with broken human English; and grunts in annoyance with himself. He tries thereof)

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1FjCUoW1g
(stutters to LILY) Yeah.. she... the... the... she...

(LUKE MERMAN grows frustrated with his stuttering more; and smacks his tail hard on the ocean and grunts. LUKE looks saddened at GLORY; and speaks to her in merman english language)

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsShHgYgW13
(begs GLORY) Glory... Help explain to my Lily... I can’t... (smacks tail on ocean again) MY STUPID HUMAN ENGLISH... I don’t understand...

(LUKE MERMAN doesn’t know what LILY just said; he puts his head down in sadness. Glory looks at LILY; understanding what LILY had said and thanks her for his support to her younger brother)

GLORY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MO9SP35KK
(smiles; to Lily) That’s nice of you Lily... thanks... Thanks for looking after my younger brother...

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ370vxmUQgL
(Smiles; to GLORY) No worries... (to LUKE) Luke... does (bang ground) hurt (signifies pain) your tail (points at tail)...

(LUKE notices what

GLORY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNlEnBEFCO
(explains to LILY) As you know, I’m a mermaid and my brother is a merman. Our culture strictly aligns us to marry someone already picked for us; regardless if you like it or not...

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCejakWu8o2
(shocked; to LILY) Really.. outdated culture...

GLORY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gbHNVo1qn
(questions to LILY) Yeah it is... anyway... our father wants LUKE to marry a mermaid he really doesn’t like or love... He really likes you though; but his father won’t let him marry you...

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81rqSQ28K3
(shocked; to GLORY) Woah... Like I said... so behind the times...

GLORY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMYvx8YuEa

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7A4wWKA3z
(smiles; to GLORY) And you’ll be a perfect mermaid-sister-in-law)

(GLORY smiles. SUDDENLY - a LARGE MUSCLE-BUILT MERMAN NAMED FARKLE WITH A PURPLE TAIL; MAKES A BIG SPLASH AND WAVE AS HE FLIPS ABOVE WATER. FARKLE GLARES AT LILY; and SHOUTS AT BOTH GLORY & LUKE; his son and daughter)

FARKLE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPHX9YMKID
(shouts at GLORY & LUKE) GLORY... LUKE... UNDERWATER NOW... UNDERWATER...

(LUKE cries as he looks at LILY; before going underwater with his sister back to the merman colony. LUKE and GLORY both fear their punishment from their father; they head underwater two seconds later. FARKLE looks angrily at LILY and smacks his large, strong purple tail hard on the ocean. LILY becomes scared)

FARKLE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY18xVj3LR
(firm; to LILY) Human... you’re human aren’t you?

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4YL6QflCy

FARKLE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIioSWOpli

(worried; to FARKLE) Okay... I will... I will stay away... I...

FARKLE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzvLGNh7h0
(firm; to LILY) Good... Now swim away... Swim away...

(LILY’s fear of water and swimming grows; thus struggling to enter the ocean)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwmtiMv5mZ
(scared; to FARKLE) Is there a boat or kayak somewhere?

FARKLE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VZ6g6V7kT
(firm; to LILY) What the MOUTH is a boat or kayak thing? What’s that... use your arms and feet.

(LILY struggles to enter the ocean due to her irrational phobia; panicking as she attempts to put one foot in the ocean. FARKLE grows annoyed; and screams at LILY)

FARKLE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix4ozXnpAd
(Shouts at LILY) Forgodsake... I’ll take you where you need to be... Where...

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZZ0Dggka3

FARKLE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy8tEGECnB
(annoyed; to LILY) Yes you have (screams) You’re trying to destroy the merman culture my son was brought up against... by being with my son... now LEAVE... You’re out of here... Let’s go...

(FARKLE forcefully grabs LILY’s hand; and swims fast to land; hiding from civilisation as far as possible. FARKLE lets go of LILY’s hand ashore from land; heads back underwater and swims back to the MERMAN COLONY. LILY stands up in shock; and exits the water; entering land as soon as possible. She looks at the ocean; and recounts her first encounter with the mysterious LUKE THE MERMAN. END OF SCENE)

INT. MERMAN COLONY - PACIFIC OCEAN

(15 minutes later; FARKLE returns to the MERMAN COLONY; in anger and annoyance with his son and daughter. FARKLE sits on his cloudy-grey king-like chair; GLORY stands by her father’s side; LUKE stands by his father’s opposite side. FARKLE looks at SIMON the BUTLER MERMAN)

(A saddened GLORY nods her head at her father FARKLE; accepting her punishment. LUKE watches in sadness as GLORY is punished with hunting for goldfish; and leaves the scene. FARKLE looks angrily at LUKE; and grabs him forcefully by the arm; and smacks his tail hard with a triton. LUKE screams in agony; from the pain.

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmlsS1bWWF
(questions GLORY, FARKLE & LUKE) Oher than sharks.. what’s the toughest marine predator you all have to deal with...

(LUKE, GLORY & FARKLE think about their answers. Luke speaks first)

LUKE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ATqwczGiH

(GLORY and LUKE smile in agreement)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxCjernJYq
(smiles; to FARKLE & GLORY) Well this is all fascinating stuff; it really is...

(A pause. LUKE wants privacy with LILY; and requests it to his family)

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeYYXdPZkq
(to GLORY & FARKLE) Please... I want to spend time with LILY... Can I spend some time with her alone?

GLORY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1162aeErC
(smiles; to FARKLE) Let’s go Dad... LUKE wants some lovie-dove time with his girl... let’s go...

(FARKLE and GLORY leave the scene; swimming away underwater. LUKE looks at LILY; in deep love and infatuation he feels for her)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcelkUqHIP
(smiles; to LUKE) Your father likes me now... and I really love your sister...

(LUKE smiles)

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEZZK1tu2n
(determined; to LILY) Yes... he would’ve accepted you or I would’ve disowned him..

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN9wYRcLWq
(shocked; to LUKE) Woah Lukie.. that’s a bit harsh... damn...

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N3iAH7ueT
(in love; to LILY) I wasn’t going to let him for me to stop being with you... you are the one Lily... the one... the damn one I’ve been searching for...

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZt73er3VZ
(in awe; to LUKE) Well thanks LUKE... Thank you.. Thank you....

(Suddenly; two male bull dolphins lift their heads out of water; delighted to see their merman friend LUKE. LUKE smiles at them; LILY smiles at the sight of her overall favourite animal. She screams in delight)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNZHEA09bN
(excited; to LUKE) Oh my God... dolphins... dolphins... Oh my goodness. DOLPHINS... DOLPHINS...

(LUKE smiles as he notices LILY’s excited facial expression. LILY bends down to the water; wishing to pat the two bull dolphins; the dolphins run away in fear; LILY is saddened)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt2ylE8PIZ
(saddened; to bull dolphins) No... No I wasn’t going to hurt you.. You dolphins are my favourite animals...

(LILY puts her head down in sadness; after the dolphins hide. LUKE notices LILY’s sadness of not patting the dolphins; LUKE looks at the two bull dolphins and communicates with the two through whistling; Lily watches in awe. The dolphins have officially calm down; and now trust LILY)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy38t1Hww7F
(amazed; to LUKE) Woah... what are you saying to the dolphins?

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DzEMtqXFq
(to LILY) To get the dolphins to relax around you... You call them dolphins... us mermans and mermaids call them ethos...

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr2pmrScF6
(smiles; to LUKE) Nice name.... ethos... that is certainly different than just dolphins...

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNxMUDTgz8
(Smiles; to LILY) Come in the water.. come with me...

(LUKE hops into the ocean; his long strong purple tail sticks out above the water. He lifts his hand out towards LILY; Lily smiles and takes LUKE’s hand. Lily smiles with love; LUKE looks at LILY with great affection)

LUKE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfdLe5XJ1K
(with love; to LILY) NOO-DOO....

(LILY is confused of the meaning of the term “NOODOO.” She questions LUKE of the meaning)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wnwQciBAX
(with love; to LUKE) What does NOO-DOO mean?

(A pause. LUKE continues looking at LILY in love)

LUKE119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tkR1P10I8
(with love; to LILY) It means... I love you....

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4GgUuPJ6I
(with love; to LUKE) NOO-DOO..

(LUKE smiles in love; and splashes his iconic purple tail hard on the ocean in love; Lily smiles as she hugs LUKE in the water. LUKE looks at the two bull dolphins; and whistles to them; encouraging them to play with LILY. LILY smiles as one of the dolphins splashes water onto LILY’s face; LILY laughs; the two dolphins squeal)

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQzpLG6zWf
(With love; to dolphins) I love you two dolphins... I love you two...

(For 10 mins straight - LILY and LUKE play with the two bull dolphins in the process. MINUTES LATER - LILY swims closer to LUKE’s chest; they kiss each other on the lips in the water; while the two bull dolphins squeal with delight as they notice their merman friend and his human woman in love. The scene closes)

## ENDING

(5 years later; LUKE and LILY lived happily together; they got married; and had a newborn son they named JUNIOR. JUNIOR is a hybrid human-merman; and grows up around other mermans and mermaids. TODDIE the son of GLORY and KINGSTON is now 5 years.

(Due to her human nature - LILY lives her life on land by the abandoned island; admiring the view of the ocean. LUKE spends most of his time above water; on the abandoned island in which they now call home. LUKE smiles as he sits up on the abandoned island; with his tail smacking on the water; watching over as LILY comforts the baby JUNIOR)

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QEeIEwrIb
(smiles; to LILY) Our baby... He is amazing... Baby Junior is amazing...

LILY119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GFuxbPZdz
(smiles; to LUKE MERMAN) He is... He sure is ain’t he...

LUKE MERMAN119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZTK2PEhDc
(smiles; to LILY) I’m... I’m glad I found you Lily.... I’m glad I found you.. the one I’ve been looking for...

(LUKE MERMAN hugs LILY and their child; and continue hugging minutes later. The scene closes; END OF STORY)
