• Aquamarine : [to Cecilia]  I was named Aquamarine after a rare and precious gemstone, whereas... Cecilia translated means "dim-sighted." But your parents know you better than I do.

• Aquamarine : [in mall]  HELLO!

  [people stare; Claire tries to hide herself and gives Aquamarine a questioning look]

• Aquamarine : You scared the salt out of me!

• Hailey : We begin where every girl starts with her first crush - we call him.

  Aquamarine : Call him? What? What?. No, I can't. What am I supposed to say to him?

  Hailey : Nothing. We just call and hang up. We do it all the time.

  Aquamarine : Why?

  Hailey : I don't know. It's just what you do.

• Aquamarine : Boo.

• Aquamarine : I'm never gonna see him again, and he doesn't care!

• [repeated line] 

  Aquamarine : I need some salt.

• Aquamarine : Following you around is fun.

• Aquamarine : Wow, Raymond, you're really good. Bye.

  Aquamarine : ...Is there a difference?

  Hailey : Huge.

  Claire : Major!

• Aquamarine : [picks up earrings]  Oooo, pretty... and pointy? What am I supposed to do with this? Like, stick it through my skin?

  Aquamarine : Ugh! You're so primitive!

• Aquamarine : I can see we have to take this *slowly.* *Mer... maid.*

  [the two girls squeal uncertainly] 

  Aquamarine : Mermaid!

  [tail rises from pool] 

  Aquamarine : Fabled marine creature, half woman, half fish, best known for sitting on rocks, staring into mirrors, and *obsessively* combing our long, *beautiful* hair. Blah-blah-blah...

  [goes back underwater] 

• Aquamarine : [newly-transformed mermaid is jumping up and down on bed]  This is so much fun! Whoo!

  [sits down next to Hailey on bed] 

  Aquamarine : I *love* legs!

  Claire : You - you get to keep them?

  Aquamarine : Technically, we can only have legs when the sun's up. And we have to keep them dry. Or, at least, that's what I've heard. I've never had the guts to come out and try 'em.

  Hailey : So this is your first time... ashore?

  Aquamarine : First time on land, first time with legs!

  [laughs merrily] 

  Aquamarine : Can you believe it?

  [waves her bare feet about] 

  Hailey : Oh, you'd never know.

  Aquamarine : But I gotta be careful. Add a little water, instant tail.

• Aquamarine : [to Raymond]  I think I like dancing with you better than... *anything* I've done on feet!
