• Allen : Hi.

  Madison : Hi.

  Allen : Um, is this the big secret you've been keeping from me? Is it, that you're a mermaid, or is there something else?

  Madison : No, that's it.

  [remembering his first reaction to her 'reveal'] 

  Madison : Allen, don't feel guilty.

  Allen : Guilty? About what?

  Madison : About not loving me anymore.

  Allen : Oh, Madison. All the time we were together, you always knew how I was feeling. Can't you tell now?

  [Madison smiles, and they kiss] 

• Allen : Hello.

  [Madison is watching TV, crying] 

  Allen : [concerned]  Madison, what is it? What happened?

  Madison : [still watching the TV]  It's the saddest thing I ever saw.

  Allen : [looks at the TV]  It's 'Bonanza.'

• Allen : I hope we have a boy and a girl.

  Madison : [worriedly]  What 'kind?'

• Allen : What is your name?

  Madison : It's hard to say in English.

  Allen : Then just say it in your language.

  Madison : All right. My name is...

  [High-pitched squeals that shatter all the television screens] 

  Allen : [nervously to the store clerks]  So, how about those Knicks?

• Allen : [knocking on bathroom door]  Madison?

  Madison : [Worriedly]  Allen?

  Allen : Yeah, of course, it's Allen. What are you doing, sweetheart?

  Madison : Taking a bath.

  Allen : [to himself]  Ooo, ooo.

  [to Madison] 

  Allen : Can I come in?

  Madison : No!

  [Madison tries to get out of the bathtub, and lands on the bathmat with a loud thump] 

  Allen : [concerned]  What was that? Madison, are you all right?

  Madison : Everything's fine.

  Allen : Well, then let me in.

  Madison : [using a towel to dry her fins]  I'll be right there. I'm just changing.

  Allen : Enough is enough, Madison. Come on, open the door. Something is wrong.

  Madison : [trying to make him go away]  Allen, can you make me some pancakes?

  Allen : Make you some...? Madison!

  [jiggling the door handle, worriedly] 

  Allen : All right, Madison, this is getting scary. You either open up this door, or I'm gonna break it down!

  Madison : [using a hair dryer to dry off her fins now]  No, Allen, please!

  Allen : All right, that's it!

  Madison : Allen, no! No!

  Allen : [tries to break down the door, but it won't budge]  Ow.

  [Allen tries several more times. As he continues, Madison throws the towel over her fins. As she does so, Allen manages to open the door, to find her lying on the bathmat. As he looks around confused, she pulls the towel away, revealing her legs] 

  Madison : Hi.

  Allen : Hi. Are you okay?

  Madison : Yeah.

  Allen : Well, why wouldn't you let me in?

  Madison : [sheepishly]  I was... shy.

  Allen : You were shy? After the car, and the elevator, and the bedroom, and on top of the refrigerator, you were shy?

  Madison : [matter-of-factly]  I was shy.

  [slips past him out the bathroom door] 

  Allen : [to himself]  She was shy.

• Madison : [ice skating with Allen]  Is this really what happens to water when it gets cold?

  Allen : Yeah.

  Madison : [smiles]  Where I come from, it never gets cold.

  Allen : [sarcastically]  Oh, what a breakthrough there! You know, you really opened up to me!

  Madison : [pauses]  Your voice sounds funny.

  Allen : Well, it's called sarcasm! What, do they not have that where you come from either?

  Madison : [quietly but angrily]  No.

  [She skates away] 

  Allen : [skates after her]  Well now they don't have anything, do they? They don't have ice. And they don't have music and they don't have clothes. Just what kind of a place is this, Madison?

• Madison : [after she and Allen hug]  I was ready to stay with you forever.

  Allen : I know.

  [stutters] 

  Allen : Now they know who you are. They're never gonna leave you alone.

  Madison : I can't ever come back to you.

  Allen : I wish I could go with you.

  Madison : You can.

  Allen : How?

  Madison : It can be done.

  Allen : How?

  Madison : Remember when you were eight years old and you fell off the ship, you were safe under the water, weren't you?

  Allen : [a little surprised]  Yeah.

  Madison : You were with me.

  Allen : You mean, that-that was real? You mean that was you?

  [Madison nods] 

  Allen : That was you!

  [laughs and hugs Madison] 

  Allen : This is great. This is great! I can go with you and still come back, and-and see Freddie at Christmas.

  Madison : [after shaking her head 'no']  You can't ever come back.

  Allen : [turns his head, hears the sirens coming closer, then turns back to Madison, looking a bit sad]  Madison...

  Madison : I understand.

  [she and Allen kiss just as a helicopter is heard flying towards them] 

• Madison : You said whatever my secret was, you'd understand.

  Allen : I know, but...

  Madison : You thought at least I was... a human being.

  [Madison reaches for Allen, a look of pleading on her face] 

  Madison : Allen...

  [Allen jumps back and violently splashes water at Madison, looking angry] 

• Allen : [after gaining access to the lab where Madison is imprisoned, both he and Madison look and smile at each other. Allen then runs up and kisses her]  Hi.

  Madison : Hi.

  Allen : Uh, is this the big secret you've been keeping from me? Is it that you're a mermaid, or is there something else?

  Madison : No, that's it.

  [kisses Allen] 

  Madison : Allen, don't feel guilty.

  Allen : Guilty? About what?

  Madison : About not loving me anymore.

  Allen : Oh, Madison. All the time we were together, you always knew how I was feeling. Can't you tell now?

  [Madison smiles and kisses Allen again] 

• Madison : Allen...

  [Allen and Kornbluth look back to see the Marines approaching them] 

  Walter Kornbluth : MMMMMOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVE!

• Allen : So uh, how long are you going to be in town?

  Madison : [spoken like a gameshow host]  Six fun-filled days.

  Allen : Oh, six days. Is that all?

  Madison : [sadly]  Six days, and the moon is full.

• Madison : [re ice skating rink]  Is this really what happens to water when it gets cold?

  Allen : [sullen]  Yeah.

  Madison : Where I come from, it never gets cold.

  Allen : Oh, well, hey, what a breakthrough there! You know, you what you did? You just really opened up to me there.

  Madison : Your voice sounds funny.

  Allen : Well, it's called sarcasm. What? They don't have that where you come from either?

  Madison : No.

  Allen : Well, now, they don't have anything, do they? They don't have ice and they don't have music and they don't have clothes. Just what kind of a place is this, Madison?

  [she runs away]
