Chapter 2
Jimmy: (from a distance) Zoey, wait for me...
Zoey: (waving him over) Jimmy, hurry up!
Jimmy: (catching up) You know I can't swim that fast.
Zoey: (pointing to a sunken ship) There it is. Isn't it fantastic?
Jimmy: Yeah... sure... it - it's great. Now let's get outta here.
Jimmy begins to swim away and Zoey yanks his mermaid tail towards her.
Zoey: You're not getting cold fins now, are you?
Zoey swims towards the ship. Jimmy follows after her.
Jimmy: Who, me? No way. It's just, it, err... it looks - damp in there. Yeah. And I think I may be coming down with something. Yeah, I got this cough.
Jimmy coughs unconvincingly.
Zoey: All right. I'm going inside. You can just stay here and - watch for sharks.
Zoey swims inside through a porthole.
Jimmy: O.K. Yeah - you go. I'll stay and - (suddenly realizing what she said) what? Sharks! Zoey! (He tries to squeeze through the porthole, but gets stuck.) Zoey... I can't... I mean- Zoey help!
Zoey: (laughs) Oh, Jimmy.
Jimmy: (whispering) Zoey, do you really think there might be sharks around here?
(Zoey comes back to help him.)
Zoey: Jimmy, don't be such a baby.
(A huge shark passes behind them as Jimmy squeezes in.)
Jimmy: I'm not a baby. (nervously) This is great - I mean, I really love this. Excitement, adventure, danger lurking around every corn- (He sees a skull and screams. He crashes into a pillar, causing wooden beams to fall down.) Zoey! (He swims frantically away, knocking over Zoey.)
Zoey: Oh, are you okay?
(Jimmy shakes intensely.)
Jimmy: Yeah sure, no problem, I'm okay...
Zoey: Shhh... (She swims to an upper level of the ship. Resting atop a heap is a silver fork.) Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! (picking up a fork) Have you ever seen anything so wonderful in your entire life?
Jimmy: Wow, cool! But, err, what is it?
Zoey: I don't know. But I bet Daffy will. (She puts the fork in her bag. The shark swims by outside.)
Jimmy: What was that? Did you hear something?
Zoey: (distracted by a pipe) Hmm, I wonder what this one is?
Jimmy: Zoey . .
Zoey: Jimmy, will you relax. Nothing is going to happen.
(The shark appears in front of the window, behind Jimmy, jaws wide open. He chomps down on the glass.)
Jimmy: Ahh! Run! Run! We're gonna die!
(The shark bangs his head on the ceiling of the ship. He chases Zoey and Jimmy and they swim for an upper deck. Flounder screams as the shark breaks through the floor, chomping towards them. Zoey's bag gets caught on a plank and she goes back for it. Jimmy swims towards a porthole and gets stuck again.)
Jimmy: Oh no!
(Zoey pushes Jimmy through and wriggles out behind him. He screams as the shark bursts through the wall and chases them around the ships'. Jimmy bumps into a crossbeam. The shark lunges towards him, but misses as he sinks towards the bottom with a dazed look. Zoey spots him and swims down to get him, dropping her bag. The shark races towards them, but his head gets stuck in the ring of an anchor. Zoey picks up her bag, which has landed near her.)
Jimmy: You big bully.
(Jimmy blows a raspberry. The shark snaps at him and he swims with Zoey towards the surface.)
Zoey: (laughing) Jimmy, you really are a baby.
Jimmy: I am not.
