:10:00
You're right to think me strange...
:10:04
... but you'd be strange too,
if you knew what I know.
:10:08
- We don't think you're strange.
- All water holds hidden magic.
:10:13
Without it there can be
no life on Earth.
:10:16
But what I am telling you...
:10:19
... is not magic.
:10:26
You understand?
:10:28
Absolutely.
Yet, at the risk of sounding...
:10:30
For thousands of years...
:10:33
... men have believed in
an enclave of islands...
:10:38
... known as the Forbidden Islands...
:10:42
... where mermaids breed.
:10:46
In Greek mythology, Sirens were
originally bird women.
:10:51
Then, somewhere along the line,
they mutated into fish women.
:10:56
But like I said,
that is Greek mythology.
:11:02
Mermaids are myths.
:11:05
Everybody knows that.
:11:08
They sing, they dance.
:11:12
They lure the sailors to their lair
with their pale flesh.
:11:17
And the story goes that every year...
:11:21
... under the strongest of
the full moons, usually in summer...
:11:26
... the mermaid becomes human
for roughly one night.
:11:31
That's right. Human.
:11:35
Legs, feet and all.
:11:39
Quaint little maidens.
:11:42
Virginal.
:11:45
Innocent.
:11:47
Meek as sin.
:11:53
Who will believe an extraordinary
story like that?
:11:57
This one has an
unfortunate skin condition.
