Quotes 

• Zane : I've been looking for you. You are not going to believe this.

  Rikki : Uh... I believe you told me to leave you alone. Is this about to start into an apology?

  Zane : There are mermaids. I've seen a photo.

  Rikki : What?

  Zane : A photo. There's more than one of them out by Mako.

  Rikki : Where did these photos come from?

  Zane : Dr. Denman. She's got these underwater motion-activated cameras for counting fish.

  [smiling:] 

  Zane : I was there when she downloaded the big one. Look, we can't tell anyone... yet. But I have to tell you. Isn't it great?

  Rikki : [without conviction]  Yeah. That's amazing. Congratulations.

• Zane : [looking down at girlfriend revealed to be mermaid]  How... is this even possible?

  Rikki : It's... a long story, and from memory, you don't really have the attention span for that.

  Zane : You could have told me.

  Rikki : [wry smile]  See, there's where you're wrong. You were the great mermaid hunter. Shooting your mouth off about mermaids every chance you got. Telling you wasn't an option. I thought we had something, Zane. Something bigger than this. But obviously I was wrong.

  Zane : No, you weren't.

  [shakes his head] 

  Rikki : [waits for guard to pass]  Then do something.

  Zane : I can't. It's too late. My Dad and Denman won't let us go now. It's out of my hands.

  Rikki : [icily]  Fine. Forget it.

  Zane : Rikki...

  Rikki : [disdainful]  Zane, don't. Right now, you and all your friends disgust me.

  [pulls back, swims off]
