Matilda splashing into the water swimming happy
Matilda: What a totally cool feeling!
She laughs and swims to the surface and floated before bumping to a mother seal
Matilda: (gasps) Oh,excuse me. I'm so sorry, ma'am.
She dove down while the Seal's three little pups came up to notice her out of curiousness
(For A Moment song)
Matilda: (singing) Okay, get a grip
Get the hang of this flipper
It's like slipping two feet into one big, huge slipper
This way is left
Which way is right
Oh, now I'll be circling in circles all night
Oh, so this is forward
No problem
I can't believe
I can do this and more
To swim in the sea like I walk on the shore
Out of my shell
Not closed up like a clam
Look out, sea
This is me
Here I am
For a moment all of me
Is alive and at home in the sea
I'm swirling and twirling
so graceful and grand
Not stubbing my toes
Getting stuck in the sand
For a moment
life is cool
I'm a splash
in the world's biggest pool
This is more than my thoughts
ever thought it could be
For a moment
Just a moment
Lucky me
(She laughs)
Talwyn: If only for one moment
I had shared with you
all I know
The sea wouldn't be
a mystery
Oh, why did you have to go
Matilda: Everything's newer
and brighter and bluer
And truer to life than before
Watch me soar
For a moment
I can shine
Got a grin
and a fin that works fine
My fingers are wrinkly
and I really don't care
If all of my curls
have curled out of my hair
For a moment
I can feel
All the dreams
I've been dreaming are real
Wish my parents
could hear it
The sea is my song
For a moment
Just a moment
I belong
Talwyn: I will find you, my darling
And the moment that I do
I'll hold you close
my Matilda
And sing the song of the sea
With you
Talwyn: Sing the song of the sea...
Matilda: For a moment, just a moment...
Talwyn: With you
Matilda: I belong
(Song ends)
Matilda At Nefarious's lair Matilda happily swims and hugs Gourtney Gear much to her awkwardness
Matilda: Oh,thank you! Thank you so much!
Gourtney Gear: Oh! (cries)
Nefarious: we got bad news Matilda
Matilda: What's the matter?
Courtney Gear: Oh,I knew this would happen. One taste, and you're hooked. Oh, Undertow, I'm such a failure, such a... Oh,my precious...there wasn't enough potion for this to be a forever spell.
Matilda: what! Please. L-I don't want to go back to being an ordinary girl. Isn't there some way I can stay a mermaids?
Nefarious: Oh,I'm afraid there's absolutely no possible way. Well,there is one way. No. What am I thinking? It's far too dangerous. I too small I look like your Uncle Clank
Matilda: What? Wh...What's too dangerous?
Courtney Gear: Well, I could make the spell last longer...if I had my magic trident. Oh,but it was stolen years ago...by a deranged kleptomaniac...and there's no one to get it back for me.
Matilda: Maybe I could get it back for you.
Courtney Gear: You would do that for me?
Matilda: If I did, would you make me a half mermarkazian half merbax forever?
Nefarious: Even longer, if you like. Now, here is where the scoundrel lives.
Matilda: Atlantica? You mean it's not just an old fish tale? It really exists?
Courtney Gear: Of course it exists, dear. Whoever told you otherwise?
Matilda: My mother and father
Courtney Gear: Well, I'm sure she didn't mean to be cruel and deceitful.
Matilda: Okay, I'll bring back your trident. You can count on me!
CourtneyGear: Be careful, dear. Enjoy those fins! While you can.
Nefarious: she will be join with us to stop her father Ratchet
