Page 1 of 3
Grandmamah
For generations, krakens have protected the seas. Keeping us safe from the most power-hungry and dangerous creatures of all.
Ruby
The mermaids?
Grandmamah
Yes, the mermaids!
Ruby
But people love mermaids.
Grandmamah
Of course they do. People are stupid.
Ruby
Chelsea?
Chelsea
Oh, there is no Chelsea. I... am... Nerissa!
Ruby
What's happening to you?
Nerissa
Surprise. I'm a flipping mermaid.
Ruby
Dad, this isn't a good thing. Sam, I'm going to strangle you with my tentacles. And, Mom, I can't. I just can't right now. [angrily walks upstairs]
Brill
Ah, she forgot to do me.
Ruby
[to Brill]
I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!!!
Ruby
[After Agatha tries to find Ruby and finds her behind the lighthouse]
Oh, no.
Brill
Wow...
Aggie
Brill, stay. [closes and locks the car door] Ruby Gillman, come out here, we need to get you home right now.
Ruby
[whimpers]
But... I'm a... a monster.
Aggie
Oh, honey, you're not a monster. Not even close. [Ruby looks at her mom, silence] I don't want to yell. Can we just talk? Please, just... [sighs] Just talk to me. [Ruby extends a hand to the ground. Agatha hops on Ruby's hand and Ruby lifts her so she is face-to-face with her mom.] Hey, there's my girl.
Ruby
Please don't be mad. I should have listened to you, but I kind of...
Both
Went into the ocean.
Aggie
I know. But right now, I just want to keep you safe, honey, and that means getting you home.
Ruby
Mom, look at me... [crying] I won't even fit inside our house anymore!
Aggie
Hey, hey, hey. Shh. You'll get small again. It just takes a little time. I'm here. I'll wait with you. I'm not going anywhere.
Ruby
[sniffles]
I'm really glad you're here, Mom.
Aggie
Do you remember when you found that whale on the beach?
Ruby
[laugh]
You mean Clarence J. Whifferton?
Aggie
How could I forget Clarence J. Whifferton? You stood next to him with a hose for 7 hours until the tide came back in.
Ruby
Oh, yeah. [sniffles] I asked you if I could keep him.
Aggie
Where would we even have put him?
Ruby
We had a hose. A garage. Come on. I would have taken care of him.
Aggie
I know you would have.
Ruby
[When Ruby calms down, she begins to shrink and transform back to her normal size.]
Yes. I'm normal. Well, almost. Thank you. [Agatha hugs her]
Aggie
Trust me, it's gonna be okay.
Brill
Aw.
Chelsea/Nerissa
[in trailer]
I know your secret. You're a kraken, hiding as a human. And soon, everyone will know the truth. Kusjes!
Ruby
[in trailer]
It's time... to go big!
Grandmamah
[in trailer]
No matter what the challenge, a kraken will always answer the call.
Ruby
[to Brill]
I don't even know you!!
Ruby
[to Nerissa]
Stay away from my mother!
Sam
[to Nerissa]
Leave my sister alone!
Grandmamah
Camouflage. Super speed. Body armor. Let's see what you're capable of.
Grandmamah
Daughter? Nerissa never had a daughter.
Ruby
Grandmamah. I want you to teach me how to use my powers.
Chelsea/Nerissa
Hellooooo? Is Mrs Gillman home? Knock-KNOCK!!!
