- Cleo: [gets up] Rikki...
- [sighs]
- Cleo: I think... we owe you an apology. You were right about Ryan, and about protecting Mako island.
- Bella: We should have listened to you.
- [nods]
- Rikki: No, I'm the one who should be apologizing.
- [shakes her head]
- Rikki: I shouldn't have shut you out. And I shouldn't have lied about what happened at the full moon.
- Cleo: Well, it's history now. But just know that you can talk to us.
- [Rikki nods]
- Bella: About anything.
- Rikki: I know, I know.
- [last lines]
- Cleo: I don't think we'll be seeing him again.
- [sighs]
- Rikki: I hope you're right.
- Bella: After what happened, we can't let anyone near the Moon Pool. It's not safe.
- Rikki: Look, whatever's going on out there,
- [shakes her head]
- Rikki: is not a danger to us. The tentacle is... really special. I made a connection with it, like a real connection. It's like it was... listening to me, but... at the same time, trying to tell me something.
- Bella: Tell you what?
- Rikki: I don't know.
- [shakes her head]
- Rikki: We should be working with it, not against it.
- [shakes her head]
- Bella: This changes everything. Everything we thought we knew about the tentacle.
- Cleo: Yes, it does. But I think that together...
- [nods]
- Cleo: we can work it out.
- Rikki: Together sounds pretty good to me.
- [nods]
- Bella: Me too.
- [chuckles]
- Kim: You know, Cleo, you should stop playing so hard to get. It will never work on Ryan.
- Cleo: Butt out. It's none of your business.
- Kim: Maybe I just don't wanna see you make a fool of yourself.
- Cleo: Well, that's not going to happen.
- Kim: He's not interested in you. And... you pretending he is, is kind of sad
- Cleo: You know nothing about boys, Kim.
- Kim: I told Ryan how boring you are, anyway. How you're always running off with your friends at Mako.
- [causing much alarm to Cleo and Bella]
- Kim: Tragic.
- [back to reading teen magazine]
- Cleo: [to Bella] Let's go!
