Ocean Girl (1994) s01e08 Episode Script

Day Pass

These hairy, red things are great.
What are they called? I call them the hairy red things.
Here, have some banana juice.
Try- is good.
How do you get juice out of bananas? I stomp on them with my feet.
What? Don’t you like? Um - no, it’s fine.
I was just not as thirsty as I thought I was.
Plus, it’s time we got back.
Yeah, people are starting to wonder where we get to.
Is it okay if I take some of these? Food good? Yeah, it was great.
You enjoy your visit? Mm hmm.
Now it is your turn.
I come visit your place.
You mean - ORCA.
Mm hmm, tomorrow.
If she gets caught, we’re all dead, you realize.
Then why did you say yes? Now that she’s got her mind made up, how the heck could we stop her? Oh well, look on thea she’ll only be here 10 minutes.
Then she’ll get bored and she will leave.
What if she doesn’t? She will - leave it to me.
We’re going to need an indenticard - a day pass would do, I guess.
And a uniform.
I’ll fix the card.
You get the uniform.
How? I don’t know.
Use your imagination.
Steal one.
You’ve got to be joking.
Hey, don’t get embarrassed.
I knew you wouldn’t be able to do it.
I can do it blindfolded.
But whyd' you need a fake identicard? I don’t.
The other kids were going on about how you can do anything with a computer.
Even fake a card.
And I bet them you couldn’t.
Well, you lose.
’Cause it’s easy.
Yeah, sure - easy to say.
Watch this.
I hope you’re happy.
It was really embarrassing.
You think you had the tough job.
Froggy’s not easy to con, you know, but I did it.
What’s that? Neri’s itinerary.
Waste processing station.
Desalination plant.
Air conditioning room? We stick to that.
Keep her away from all the good stuff.
And in 10 minutes, she’ll be begging to leave.
Neri? You there? Neri! I’m here.
I’ve been waiting.
Quick, put this on.
We’ll have to hide her stuff somewhere.
No one’ll see it there.
If you go behind that, it’d be good.
My other uniform’s gone.
Look, it’s just the empty hanger.
If this is someone’s idea of a practical joke, they’re going to be very sorry.
Must I wear them? Yes.
There seems to be an unauthorized person in the turbo lift.
Who said that? Come on.
Welcome aboard ORCA, Mr.
Duck.
Mr.
Duck? It was the best I could do, okay? Whoa! Can we do that again? No.
Come on.
On behalf of the administration, visitors to ORCA are welcomed.
Directory information is available by pressing the “d” panel… Neri, come on.
Directory information is available by pressing the “d” panel… Neri, come on.
Other information is available by pressing the “i” panel.
It’s beautiful.
ORCA derives it’s power from ecologically sound, non-polluting sources.
Water is ducted through large conduits to the central dynamo where the motion of the tides is converted into hydro-electricity.
It’s working.
You’re so boring, she’s gone into a trance.
Told you.
Power storage levels are constantly monitored by ORCA’s central - it’s beautiful.
What is? It sings - like the ocean.
well, he’s certainly in fine voice this morning.
It’s funny.
He’s never been this close to ORCA before.
Maybe he’s looking for something.
But I want to go to where you live.
No, you don’t.
Hi, guys.
You’re gonna be late.
Ah, yeah.
We’ll catch you up.
Okay, I’m starving.
Why is he starving? There is no food? No, he’s just saying that ’cause it’s lunch time.
Oh - please take me to where you live.
You wouldn’t like it.
It’s really boring.
I want to, Brett.
I want to see where my friends live.
I showed you my home.
It’s wonderful.
Huh? You’re kidding.
Comfortable.
What’s in there? That chair look not comfortable.
That’s not a chair exactly.
What is it? It’s a sort of - you sit on it when you - anyway, this is the shower.
We’re supposed to save water.
Now there’s just mum’s quarters.
Your mother.
I will look.
Pretty things.
That’s me.
Like in the rock pool.
It’s called a mirror.
Drink? No perfume.
Smells nice.
Women squirt it on themselves.
How? The button.
But don’t.
It costs a for - argh! Oh, do you mind? Supposed to squirt it at yourself.
Oh.
Take it easy.
It’s mum’s one big luxury.
Very good drawing.
This is mother? Yeah.
Very beautiful.
Let’s go.
I’m hungry now.
You take me to where the starving boy has gone.
That’s not a good idea.
You will not share your food with me? I share all mine with you.
You don’t understand, Neri.
It’s really tricky.
I understand.
I look funny.
You do not want your friends to see me.
I didn’t think there were so many people in the world.
Come on.
Hi.
Hi, lee.
Hi, lee.
Don’t talk.
Just order food.
I’ll do it.
That looks good.
You’ll like high nutrition muesli better.
It’s the most boring.
Hey, we were here first.
Back off.
Thanks for sticking up for me.
Hey, what could I do? Hit a woman? Looks good.
Tastes beautiful.
Yuck! She’s eating with her fingers! Who is she? Winston, look at this.
No way is this random behaviour.
He’s been circling now for hours.
And he’s still singing? What’s his sudden interest in ORCA? you must be new here.
Maybe I can show you around sometime? We’re doing that, thanks.
Gee, Brett.
I like your perfume.
Just gorgeous.
Get out of it! Why did you hit him? Being friendly.
Haven’t you had enough yet? No, I like it here.
You notice anything about that uniform she’s wearing? What’s to notice? It’s new.
I lost a new uniform just that size.
Your attention, please.
Would all members of the marine studies class please report to viewing port three.
That’s us.
Oh, look, can you tell them to start without me, please? You’ll get reported if you’re late again.
Yeah, I gotta go.
I’ll see you later, all right? Yes.
Come on, we gotta go, too.
Excuse me, where did you get that uniform? Like it’s any of your business, Vanessa.
I happen to think you don’t mind if I get a closer look? Sorry, gotta go.
Wait a minute.
I want to see the code tag on that uniform.
Come back here! What is your problem, Vanessa? I want to see the tag.
What are you? The clothes police? No, I’m the owner of a new uniform that’s mysteriously disappeared.
