[guitar strumming]

Who's n the mood for a song?

-I think I'll skip the juice.
-I know what you mean.

So, Cleo, listen to this.

♪ Ooh, ooh ♪

-[clicks tongue] Well?
-Very good.

So, what do you say? You, me, your place?

First lesson's free.

-You wanna give me a guitar lesson?
-Yeah.

Absolutely. Why not?
I'm really good at it.



I've been making stacks of money lately
giving lessons.

Well, it has been pretty high
on my to-do list.

Really?

Yeah.

It's up there
with getting my fillings replaced.

[chuckles]

-Hey.
-Hi.

Oh, great, you got strawberries.
We've run out.

I've got plenty of everything.

-I had a good time last night.
-Yeah. Me, too.

Maybe we could go out again.

Maybe.

-I've got work to do.
-Yeah.

Lewis.

What do you know about "ambergris"?

What's so funny?

Ambergris is a myth.

It doesn't exist?

Oh, it exists, though it's very rare.

-The Internet said it was--
-All that stuff about its scent

supposedly having magical effects
over mermaids is rubbish.

You know what it is, don't you?

It's some sort of perfume.

It was once used in perfumes.

Okay, ambergris comes from whales.

It's like a solidified ball of oil
that whales deposit in the ocean.

Deposit?

Through droppings.

Droppings, you mean, as in--

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Droppings.

So, why are you asking?

I-I go out with a mermaid.
I'm interested in this sort of stuff.

And if it does have some sort
of mesmerizing effect on mermaids, it...

well, it could be useful
in certain situations.

Please give me one example.

[sighs] I don't know.

You could use it to win Cleo back.

Hey, I've got a new girlfriend.
Cleo and I are just history.

No kidding.

Whatever you're thinking Zane, forget it.
Ambergris is a myth.

[guitar strumming]

-Yeah. Excellent, Kimmy. Superb.
-This is fun.

Yeah, and you're a natural.

Oh, hey, Cleo. How's it going?

-What are you doing here?
-Nate's teaching me to play guitar.

I was so blown away by her enthusiasm,
I offered her free guitar lessons.

Hey. Free? You said you'd pay me!

-[shushes]
-[Cleo] Nate?

I want you to get out of my house
before I tell Dad you're stalking me.

-[scoffs] I am not.
-You're not what?

Dad, Nate's teaching me
how to play guitar.

-Is that what that racket was?
-[Nate] That's right.

Your daughter here
is a real natural, Mr. S.

[Don] Really?

-You've been teaching long, Nate?
-Huh?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

-A week.
-[scoffs]

So, you're pretty handy with a guitar.

Yeah, but I don't like to brag.

Good. You know what I'm handy with, Nate?

That thing?

How about I teach you
about garbage disposal units?

Free of charge.

[breathing heavily]

[grunts]

-Ooh.
-[pants]

-You alright?
-Yeah.

Didn't need that fingernail anyway, did I?

Okay. All done.

Thanks a lot.

You know,
I could use a hand out back, too.

Got the guttering to clean.

Ah... yeah, no.
I've gotta go give another guitar lesson.

I think your dad likes me.

-He let me do all the heavy bits.
-Good for you.

[clicks tongue] So...

[groans] What are you doing
for the rest of the morning?

Ugh! Showering.

Get away, you smell.

Oh, well, I've been working really hard,
raising a sweat.

That's not a sweat! You stink.

Look, what if I run home, I take a shower,

then you and Nateroo
can go see a movie or something?

Nate, listen to me.

I will never, ever go out with you.

So, that's a no?

Lewis. Lewis!

-What's up?
-I found it. Pure ambergris.

-How did you find it?
-On the Internet.

A local antique dealer had some.
He said it's over a hundred years old.

Don't you think you've crossed a line?

I bought this out of scientific curiosity.
You should understand that.

[Lewis] Oh!

Oh, yuck. It smells like rotten squid.

Well, it's a hundred years old
and made from whale excrement.

-Take it away.
-No.

-What--? Take it!
-No!

Great, Zane! I'm supposed to be
having lunch with Charlotte any minute.

I think you're gonna be by yourself.

Hey, Lewis. Sorry I'm late, I--

Oh!

-What is that?
-Um, I can explain.

-You've been gutting fish?
-No!

It was his fault! He squirted it on me.

I don't care what this is,

but if you think I'm having lunch
with you smelling like that, forget it.

-[groans]
-No-- Charlotte, I'm sorry, wait!

It is a myth. Now get over it.

Charlotte, come on. I'll have a shower.

[sniffs] Ooh.

Hm.

[patrons coughing]

-Where are all the customers going?
-They're leaving.

Why?

Can you please talk to Nate
and convince him to go somewhere else,

or at least take a bath?

Hey, Emma.

Ash wants you to leave.

But I just got a juice!

Why don't you join me?

Nate, I'm only gonna say this once,
I want you...

to never leave my sight.

I wanna be with you all the time
and do whatever you say.

But-But you don't think I stink?

Oh, no, I think you smell manly
and attractive and...

-good.
-[laughs]

Emma, there's a lot of work
at the counter.

I've got my hands full here.

[sniffs]

Emma, can I see you in the storeroom, now?

Chill out, bro.
The lady is taking a well-deserved break.

Yeah, I'm on my break.

Hey, Ash. Emma about?

Ask him.

I would love another drink. Want one?

Yeah. But, please, let me get it.

Hi, Cleo. Two more, please, Ash.

Em, what's going on?

Just between you and me,
I think love is in the air.

I'm seeing Nate with new eyes.

I don't get it.

Emma can't stand Nate.

None of us can.

Something's not right.

[clicks tongue]

Hey, Nate. You look good today.

-Mind if I join you?
-Sure.

[Cleo] What are you talking about?

Oh, um, nothing.
I was just letting Emma look at me.

-Can I do that, too?
-Sure.

You know you just cost me lunch
with Charlotte.

I had to shower to get rid of the smell.

She totally bailed on me.

The girl's got sense.

-Where's that bottle?
-I don't know. I think it's on that table.

Why? Not having second thoughts, are you?

No.

I just wanna take a closer look,
maybe analyse a sample.

[sighs] Sure, you do.

Once and for all,
Charlotte and I are happy together.

Cleo is not in the picture.
Since when do you care?

[Zane] Just heard some talk.

-What do you mean? What have you heard?
-Nothing.

Hey, Zane, wait up. What have you heard?

Nate.

Nate, we need to talk.

Uh, about what?

[sighs] It's delicate.
Let's do it in private.

Hey, muchacho,
whatever you've got to say to me,

you can say in front of these feminitas.

-[giggles]
-We're all friends, right?

[Ash] Okay.

Nate, you stink.

You've driven out all my customers.

And I want you out.

[Emma, Cleo] What?

I can't believe what I'm hearing.

It's the truth, and how you can stand
to be this close to him is beyond me.

[Emma] You know what I think?

-You're just jealous.
-What?

Hey, the girl's perceptive.

Emma, look at this place. It's empty.

And how is that Nate's fault?

Because he smells like a tuna
with hygiene issues.

What's going on?

Let's ask Rikki, shall we?

Hey, Rikki, does Nate stink?

Are you kidding?

Nate's the most...

[exhales]

He's the most...

Ah, he's just, uh...

the most man I've ever met.

[Rikki sighs]

Okay, all I'm saying
is just stay out of my personal life.

[Zane] I'm not in it.

The last thing I need
is more girlfriend problems.

Took the words
right out of my mouth. [sighs]

Hey, Ash, did you see
a little bottle on this table?

No.

[sighs] Great. Now it's lost.

You know, I'll never understand women.

I go out with Emma once,
we have a great time,

and the next time we meet,
I don't exist.

Huh?

I think this "sensitive guy" thing
doesn't work.

I mean, look at Nate.

The guy has no brains, no sensitivity,
and he's surrounded.

-What?
-Emma's all over him in the juice bar.

-And Rikki.
-[chuckles]

[Ash] And Cleo.

-What, Nate?
-It's like they're mesmerised.

Mesmerised?

[guitar strumming]

[Lewis coughs]

You know what this is, don't you?
The ambergris.

No. What, you figured that out
all by yourself?

Well, Mr. "ambergris is a myth"...

what are we gonna do?

How can she touch him,
let alone dance for him?

-Rikki?
-What?

Um, can you come outside for a second?

I'm dancing with Nate.

Yeah, I can see that.
Don't you think it's a little strange?

Nate's hot.

Yeah. Yeah.

We've gotta fix this.

-[Nate sighs]
-[Zane] Nate!

I need your help, man.

Trouble with the Zodiac,
and you're the ace with boats.

Uh, I'm a bit busy here, mate.

[Zane] I know, and I wouldn't ask
if it wasn't an emergency.

Maybe some other time, eh?

What if I offered you
free use of the Zodiac, um...

[stammers] for a week?

I guess I could spare five minutes.

You'll wait, won't you?

-Aw.
-Don't go!

-Please?
-[clicks tongue, hisses]

[both] Two weeks.

Allow me a second.

Why don't we just hook up
at the beach later on?

Then I can give you all my attention.

-Promise?
-Sure.

See you then.

-Bye.
-Bye, Nate.

-[Rikki] Ciao, Natey.
-[coughs]

-[chuckles]
-[sighs]

So, what seems to be the problem here?

Okay, Nate, hand it over.

-What?
-Don't try the dumb act.

It's not a dumb act.

Would you just give me my bottle?

-What are you talking about?
-Oh, come on, you reek of it!

Why else would Rikki be all over you?

[laughs] Oh!

So that's what this is all about.

This.

Well, this...

has nothing to do with it.

The girls have come to their senses
and hopped on board the Nate train,

and you are just jealous.

-The Nate train?
-The Nate train.

-Oh, dear.
-Yeah.

Listen. [sighs]

The reason the girls dig the Nater

is because he's a guitar playin',
karate choppin',

big wave surfin' love machine.

Face it, guys.

You're just out-gunned.

Wow, I feel really good.

Yeah, me, too.

Yeah.

[all sniffing]

Why is that?

What time is it?

It's two o'clock already.

What have we been doing all day?

Emma, can I speak to you, please?

[exhales] Look, I know
we've only had one date--

Yeah, and it was fun.

-Then maybe you'd like to explain things.
-What things?

-Like what you were doing in there.
-I was on my lunch break.

[scoffs] Do you have to be
so blatant about it?

-You want me to hide during lunch?
-Oh, I don't know.

Maybe a bit of warning
would've been nice, that's all.

Ash, I take lunch
at the same time every day.

Emma, you know what I'm talking about,
and if you wanna play games, fine.

[Emma] I don't get it.

We've been out once, now he's acting
like there's something wrong.

Boys. They can be so sensitive sometimes.

Hey, girls. What's up?

-Of course, not all of them.
-Tell me about it.

Tell you about what?

Tell me about
how you got such a great body.

Yeah.

-Did you miss me?
-Yep! [chuckles]

-Who missed me most?
-Me.

-Me!
-No, I did!

[laughs] Oh, girls, girls, girls.

Come on, let's not fight.
There's plenty of Nate to go around.

-Who's up for a swim?
-[girls] Me!

[indistinct chatter]

-Ash, where are the girls?
-I don't know. Why?

-[Zane] Emma didn't tell you where?
-She doesn't tell me anything.

[Lewis] You must've seen where they went.

[sighs] Oh, towards the beach.

-[girls giggling]
-[Nate] Yay!

You sure you don't wanna go get swimsuits?

-We don't wanna leave you.
-Oh, I know the feeling.

Hey, the first one to swim out
to that buoy and back gets to kiss me.

-[Cleo] I'll do it!
-[Rikki] I'm faster!

Ladies, ladies, settle.
We can all swim together.

-Stop!
-Stop!

Come with us right now,
or you're gonna regret this.

Hey!

You guys really need to get over this
whole jealousy thing and face the facts.

The girls jump for the Nateroo!
Don't you, ladies?

What are we doing?

Why am I here?

The salt water
must have washed it off him.

Zane, what's going on?

Uh, it's hard to explain,
but you've been attracted to Nate.

You all have.

Just forget those losers.
Let's go party! Party.

-Go, swim, now.
-Quick.

[laughing] That's more like it.

Nate, if you actually think they like you,
you really are an idiot.

If I didn't have three beautiful ladies
waiting for me, I'd...

Girls?

Girls!

Who would've thought
a few drops of this stinky stuff...

Don't worry.

I'll be looking after this
very carefully from now on.

-[Zane] What, you wanna keep it?
-We know it works now.

-A few drops of this could--
-Solve all your problems with Cleo?

Don't... don't try
and bring me down to your level.

-We are just friends.
-And you're not the least bit tempted?

You could have her falling at your feet.

Why would you want someone
who does everything you want

but not because they want to?

Lewis! Here you are.
I've been looking everywhere for you.

You're not still playing
with that bottle of stench, are you?

Not anymore.

I can't believe we almost blew it
because we were attracted to Nate.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

You don't think we...
you know, kissed him, do you?

I need to disinfect my mouth just in case.

Oh, no, that's why Ash
was acting so weird!

What did I do in front of him?

[indistinct chatter]

[Emma] Hey, Ash.

Oh, hey.

-Everything okay?
-Well, yeah.

Business is booming
now your stinky friend has moved on.

Yeah, about that,
it's kind of hard to explain.

It seemed quite obvious to me.

-Is he an old boyfriend or something?
-Not really.

We've just known each other a long time.

-Is that how you behave around friends?
-No.

Sorry. Can we start again?

[sighs]

[clicks tongue] Are there any other
weird things in your past I should know?

Um...

no.
