Transcript: The Cave
Marine life navigates the ocean.
[Upbeat music plays]
A singer sings, OVER THE OCEAN
AND OVER THE REEF.
THERE'S A SUNNY LITTLE PLACE
CALLED KANGAROO BEACH.
The sun shines brightly over the Kangaroo Beach Lifeguard Headquarters. Text reads, Screen Australia and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation presents, A Cheeky Little Media production. Created by Tim Bain.
The singer sings, FRIZZY, GEMMA,
NEVILLE AND POUNCE.
Frizzy, a koala with blue fur, balances sunglasses on her head. Gemma, a platypus, wears goggles strapped over her head. Neville, a wombat, wears a bucket hat. Pounce, a kangaroo, hops over his friends and down a slide. All the friends wear a red and blue uniform.
The singer and others sing, CADETS IN THE CLUB,
SO COME ON, LET'S BOUNCE.
Gemma, Frizzy and Neville follow Pounce down the slide.
The singer sings, GOOD FRIENDS SURFIN'
SWIMMIN', LEARNIN’
Pounce surfs down the slide. Gemma slides down on her stomach. Fizzy follows with her paws in the air. Neville spins down the slide.
He screams, AAH!
Outside, on the Kangaroo Beach dock, he blows a whistle and points to the water.
[Whistle blaring]
The singer sings, BONDI, SANDY,
BIG TREV TOO.
Kangaroos Bondi and Sandy speed across the water on a boat with Pounce. Underwater, Frizzy travels in a submarine with Big Trev, a bearded koala with green fur.
The singer sings, TRAININ' WITH THE VERY BEST
LIFEGUARD CREW.
STAYIN' SAFE, BEING BRAVE,
RIDE A WAVE, MAKE A SAVE.
Gemma rides in a helicopter. The lifeguards and junior cadets return to the beach. The cadets surf a big wave.
The singer sings, WE'RE HERE ALL SUMMER,
IT JUST GETS FUNNER.
LET'S HOP DOWN TO...
A large wave crashes into the lifeguards and cadets on the beach.
The singer sings, …KANGAROO BEACH!
Title, Kangaroo Beach. A splash of water reveals the episode title on the beach.
Frizzy reads, THE CAVE.
[Echoing]
Text reads, written by Tim Bain. A wave rolls over the sand, revealing Frizzy.
Frizzy says, HERE COMES FRIZZY BEARHEART
CLIMBING FEARSOME VOLCANO, MOUNT
BOOMY BOOM!
Raising a flag, she stumbles.
Frizzy wails, OH, MY STARFISH!
AGH!
IT'S ABOUT TO ERUPT!
She stands on Big Trev’s back. She falls off as he stands up.
Big Trev says, GET OFF THERE!
[Big Trev laughing]
Oil leaking from a vehicle splashes Big Trev.
Big Trev says, OH, GREAT GUMNUTS!
Frizzy says, THAR SHE BLOWS!
[Junior cadets laughing]
Frizzy says, COME ON!
LET'S GO EXPLORE OUTSIDE!
Sandy hops over to the other junior cadets.
She says, WHOA!
NO WALKIES WITHOUT YOUR TALKIES.
AND BE CAREFUL OUT THERE
BEFORE THE KING TIDE SWEEPS IN.
Frizzy says, DON'T WORRY, SANDY, WE'LL BE
SUPER CAREFUL!
NOW LET'S GO FIND A VOLCANO!
The junior cadets cheer, WHOO-HOO!
YEAH!
On Kangaroo Beach, Gemma, Pounce, and Neville follow Frizzy across the sand as she looks at her book.
Gemma says, YEAH!
FRIZZY, THERE ARE NO
VOLCANOES ON KANGAROO BEACH.
Frizzy says, THERE'S ONE ON MY MAP!
MOUNT BOOMY BOOM!
She points to a spot on a map in the book.
Pounce says, THAT'S JUST A SMUDGE.
YOU ALWAYS LEAD THE ADVENTURES.
HOW ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE HAS A
TURN TODAY?
Gemma says, YEAH!
Neville says, THAT SEEMS FAIR.
Frizzy says, BUT... VOLCANO!
[Frizzy sighing loudly]
Frizzy closes her book and shakes her head.
Frizzy says, FINE.
Later, on the beach, Neville reaches into a shell.
He says, WINNER IS...
[Drumroll]
Neville takes a folded piece of paper out of the shell that has a drawing of Pounce.
Pounce says, ME!
CAPTAIN BOUNCE!
YOUR COURAGEOUS LEADER.
Frizzy frowns.
Pounce says, THIS WAY TO ADVENTURE!
He hops across the beach.
Neville says, WE'LL GET A GO NEXT TIME.
He starts to follow Pounce.
Pounce says, COME ON!
KEEP UP!
He leads the others down a path.
He says, HERE WE ARE!
MY AMAZING NEW DISCOVERY -
SEAWEED... SWAMP?
The cadets look at patches of seaweed and mud.
Gemma asks, WHAT'S SO AMAZING ABOUT IT?
Pounce says, UH...
BEHOLD THE MYSTERIOUS
FLOATING STICK!
He drops a stick in the water on the other side of the path.
[Splashing]
The stick floats in the water.
[Frizzy giggling]
Pounce says, AND, UM...
THE SAVAGE, TERRIFYING OTTER!
He points to Gherkinn sitting on a beach chair nearby.
Gherkinn waves and says, YOO-HOO!
Pounce says, OKAY, FINE!
I'LL LEAD US SOMEWHERE ELSE
THEN.
Frizzy says, OR... YOU COULD FOLLOW ME TO
MOUNT BOOMY BOOM!
Neville says, THAT DOES SOUND KIND OF FUN.
Pounce says, SORRY, BUT I'M THE LEADER
TODAY.
Frizzy says, WELL, I'M GOING TO FIND THAT
VOLCANO.
She starts to walk away.
She says, BYE!
Frizzy waves as she continues down the path. Gherkinn walks over to the remaining cadets as they watch Frizzy leave.
He says, OH!
CAN I JOIN YOUR EXPLORER'S CLUB
GAME, PLEASE?!
Pounce says, SURE, GHERKINN.
YOU CAN BE FRIZZY FOR THE DAY!
Gherkinn says, YES, I AM THE FRIZZY!
OH, MY FISH FACE!
[Gemma and Neville giggling]
Pounce puts his hands on his hips.
He says, CLOSE ENOUGH.
LET'S BOUNCE!
On the beach, Pounce leads Neville, Gemma and Gherkinn to the rock pools.
He says, BEHOLD THE ROCKPOOL OF WONDERS!
Gherkinn scratches his head.
Gemma asks, WHAT WONDERS?
Neville says, MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE GONE
WITH FRIZZY.
Pounce says, NO WAY!
CAPTAIN BOUNCE FIND SOMETHING
EXCITING, I PROMISE!
He hops across the beach.
He says, LIKE, UH...
Gemma says, A CAVE!
Pounce says, A WHAT?
He looks to his right, at a cave.
He says, OH, YES.
A CAVE!
SEE?
CAPTAIN BOUNCE IS A
GREAT LEADER.
COME ON, LET'S EXPLORE IT!
Pounce hops into the cave.
Gherkinn says, OH, GOODY!
KOALAS LOVE CAVES!
Neville says, I'VE GOT A BAD FEELING ABOUT
THIS.
Part way inside the cave. Gemma and Pounce look around.
Gemma says, THIS IS FASCINATING!
Gherkinn walks up to Gemma.
He loudly says, HELLO!
His echo says, HELLO!
HELLO! HELLO!
Gherkinn says, THAT CAVE GHOST IS SO POLITE.
Pounce says, A TUNNEL!
LET'S GO!
Neville walks into the cave with a backpack.
He says, LOOKS DARK.
AND DANGEROUS!
Gemma asks, ARE YOU SURE THIS IS SAFE?
Pounce says, COME ON!
FOLLOW THE LEADER!
He hops toward a dark tunnel.
Neville says, WE SHOULD PROBABLY MARK OUR
TRAIL, SO WE CAN FIND OUR WAY
BACK.
He pulls fishing line out of his backpack.
Gemma says, GREAT IDEA, NEVILLE!
She walks over to Pounce with Gherkinn while Neville loops the fishing line around a nearby rock.
Pounce says, HURRY UP, NEV!
Neville says, COMING!
He runs over tunnel, leaving a trail of fishing line.
Gherkinn calls out, WE ARE GOING TO GO NOW!
His echo says, GO NOW!
GO NOW! GO NOW!
Gherkinn says, HOW RUDE!
He follows the three cadets into the tunnel, where a sparkly green light glows on the ceiling.
Pounce and Neville say, WHOA.
Gemma says, BEAUTIFUL!
Gherkinn says, OH, MY.
OH, SO SPARKLY!
He follows the cadets further through the tunnel. Elsewhere on Kangaroo Beach, Frizzy looks through binoculars.
She says, EXPLORER'S LOG.
THIS IS FRIZZY BEARHEART, STILL
SEARCHING FOR THAT VOLCANO.
She spots pile of sand shaped like a volcano in the distance.
[Frizzy gasping]
Frizzy lowers her binoculars and runs toward the pile of sand.
She says, A-HA!
WAIT.
She reaches the small sand pile. Digging in the sand, Philippa holds up a shovel. Sammy stands beside her with a bucket.
[Philippa and Sammy giggling]
Frizzy sighs, AWW.
In the tunnel, Pounce hops ahead of Neville, Gemma and Gherkinn, who look amazed.
Pounce says, WHOA!
CHECK IT OUT.
He points to a cave at the end of the tunnel.
Neville says, BEAUTIFUL.
Gemma says, WOW!
Gherkinn says, IT'S A BIG HOLE.
Neville wraps his fishing line around a rock.
He says, THIS CALLS FOR A CELEBRATORY
FEAST.
WHO'S HUNGRY?!
He puts down his backpack.
Gherkinn says, OH, YAH!
WHAT DO KOALAS EAT?
Neville says, GUM LEAVES!
He passes Gherkinn a gum leaf sandwich.
Gherkinn says, OH, GOODY!
Pounce says, MY DEAR FOLLOWERS, AS YOUR
HUMBLE LEADER, IT IS MY DUTY TO
NAME THIS CAVE IN THE SPIRIT OF
TEAMWORK, CAPTAIN BOUNCE'S CAVE!
He looks down at the others from atop a boulder.
Neville cheers, WHOO-HOO!
Gemma cheers, CAPTAIN BOUNCE'S CAVE!
Neville cheers, CAPTAIN BOUNCE!
Gemma cheers, WHOO-HOO!
Gherkinn raises his sandwich.
Pounce says, TOLD YOU I WAS A GREAT
LEADER.
[Gherkinn gagging]
A bite is missing from Gherkinn’s sandwich.
Gherkinn says, THIS SANDWICH TASTES LIKE A
TREE!
UGH!
He holds the sandwich away from him.
[Neville giggling]
On the dock outside the lifeguard headquarters, Frizzy looks through her binoculars.
She says, WHERE IS THAT SNEAKY
VOLCANO?!
[Water spraying]
Frizzy says, A-HA!
In the ocean, a whale spurts water from their blowhole.
Frizzy sighs, AWW, IT'S JUST A WHALE!
[Frizzy groaning]
In the cave at the end of the tunnel, Neville dusts off his hands.
He says, HOME TIME!
He hops off his seat on a boulder and lands in water.
[Splashing]
Neville says, WHOA!
THAT'S NOT GOOD.
Pounce says, WATER?
WHERE'D THAT COME FROM?
Gemma says, UH... THE OCEAN?
The group turns to the tunnel, filling with water.
Neville says, WOBBLY WOMBATS!
THE TIDE!
He hops back onto the boulder.
Gemma says, OF COURSE!
WHEN THE TIDE WAS LOW, WE COULD
GET INTO THE CAVE.
BUT NOW IT'S COME BACK UP,
FILLING THE TUNNEL.
Pounce says, NO PROBLEM!
WE'LL JUST WAIT FOR THE TIDE
TO GO DOWN AGAIN.
Neville says, THAT WON'T BE FOR HOURS!
Pounce says, OH.
NOT SO EASY.
[Pounce laughing nervously]
Gemma talks into her two way radio.
She says, HELLO?
LIFEGUARDS?
[Radio static hissing]
Gemma says, OH, THE SIGNAL'S NOT WORKING
FROM IN HERE.
Neville says, THEN WE'RE TRAPPED!
Gherkinn wails, OH, MY FISH FACE!
WHAT DO WE DO?!
Gemma says, I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
Neville says, ME TOO!
Pounce says, TRUST ME, I'M THE LEADER, AND
I'LL GET US OUT OF HERE!
LET'S SEE.
He looks up toward the ceiling of the cave.
He says, YES!
I'LL JUMP OUR WAY OUT!
Pounce hops on the spot as he looks up at an opening in the ceiling.
[Pounce straining]
Pounce keeps hoping.
Gherkinn says, YES, KEEP GOING!
BUT ABOUT TEN TIMES HIGHER!
Pounce yells, HELP!
His echo says, HELP!
HELP! HELP!
From the lifeguard headquarters, Sandy scans the beach through binoculars.
She says, HMM...
WHERE ARE THOSE KIDS?
She talks through her radio.
She says, UH... HELLO, CADETS?
Sandy presses a button on her radio.
Through it, she says, BIG TREV, NO SIGN OF THE CADETS.
In the rescue helicopter, Big Trev talks through his radio.
He says, ROGER THAT.
I'LL KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THEM
FROM UP HERE.
At the lifeguard headquarters, Sandy cruises past the dock in the rescue boat. In the cave, the water reaches the height of the fishing line on the boulder.
Pounce yells, WE'RE STUCK IN THE CAVE!
His echo says, CAVE!
CAVE! CAVE!
Gherkinn asks, WHY IS THAT CAVE GHOST NOT
HELPING US?
Pounce scratches the back of his head.
He asks, DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE AN
IDEA?
Gemma says, YES!
RIVER OTTERS CAN HOLD THEIR
BREATH UNDERWATER FOR A FEW
MINUTES!
RIGHT, GHERKINN?
Gherkinn says, OH, YAH!
WE ARE ALSO GOOD AT DANCING
THE POLKA!
Gemma wades into the water toward the tunnel.
She says, THEN, YOU CAN SWIM BACK DOWN
THE TUNNEL AND ALERT THE
LIFEGUARDS!
Pounce says, GOOD IDEA, GEMMA!
Gherkinn says, BUT WHAT IF I AM GETTING
LOST?
Neville says, YOU CAN FOLLOW THE LINE THAT
I TRAILED BEHIND US!
Pounce says, CLEVER THINKING, NEVILLE.
READY, GHERKINN?
Gherkinn says, REPORTING FOR DUTY.
OTTER-SLASH-KOALA TO THE RESCUE!
He dives into the water and follows the fishing line trail through the now under water tunnel. At the entrance to the cave, he comes up out of the water.
[Gherkinn gasping]
[Boat engine humming]
Gherkinn says, HUH?
Sandy cruises past the cave in the rescue boat.
Gherkinn calls out, YOO-HOO!
Sandy looks back toward the cave.
She says, GHERKINN?
She cruises back to the cave where she meets Gherkinn, swimming toward her.
Gherkinn says, THE CADET ALERT!
THEY ARE STUCK IN A CAVE!
Sandy grabs her radio.
Through it, she says, I FOUND THE CADETS!
THEY'RE IN THE CAVE BELOW THE
LIGHTHOUSE.
Sandy puts her radio back on her arm strap.
She says, ON IT LIKE A SEAGULL ON A CHIP.
She puts on a diving helmet.
[Alarm blaring]
[Upbeat music plays]
In a montage, the Kangaroo Beach lifeguards prepare for rescue with radios, first aid kits, and rescue boards. The travel in their rescue vehicles, a helicopter, boat, submarine, and golf cart. The junior cadets gather, ready for action, and pose.
In the tunnel in the cave, Sandy follows the fishing line trail. She reaches Gemma, Neville, and Pounce.
Gemma says, OH, GOOD!
THANK GOSH!
Sandy says, OH, HEY THERE, CADETS.
WHAT A PICKLE.
AND A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY
YOU SHOULDN'T EXPLORE CAVES
WITHOUT A TRAINED GROWN-UP.
Pounce says, IT'S MY FAULT.
AS TEAM LEADER, I SHOULDN'T
HAVE LED EVERYONE IN HERE.
Neville says, AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE
FOLLOWED HIM.
Sandy says, OH, YOU BETCHA.
ALRIGHTY, CADETS, WHO WANTS
TO COME FIRST?
Neville says, SCUBA DIVING THROUGH A
TUNNEL?
He shakes his head.
He says, NO, THANKS.
Pounce says, GEMMA SHOULD GO.
I'LL STAY HERE AND LOOK AFTER
NEVILLE.
Sandy says, NICE ONE, POUNCE.
SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE LEADER.
In the water, Gemma uses Sandy’s spare scuba diving mouthpiece and pulls on her goggles. She and Sandy dive into the water.
[Splashing]
Sandy and Gemma follow the fishing line through the tunnel. In the cave, Neville looks nervous.
[Neville groaning]
Pounce says, YOU CAN DO THIS, NEVILLE.
TRUST ME.
YOU JUST NEED TO PRACTISE
YOUR BREATHING.
IN AND OUT, NICE, AND SLOWLY.
Neville nods. He practices his breathing.
[Neville breathing heavily]
Pounce glances at the rising tide. Back on the beach, Frizzy rolls to a stop on her bike.
She says, LOG-BOOK REPORT.
I'M A FAILED EXPLORER.
Frizzy closes her eyes.
She wails, OH!
She opens her eyes.
She says, WHOA!
IS THAT...
Frizzy takes off her helmet.
She says, A VOLCANO?!
She runs over to the opening in the cave ceiling.
Pounce says, YOU'LL BE OKAY,
NEVILLE.
Frizzy says, A TALKING VOLCANO?!
She looks through the opening.
She calls out, CAPTAIN BOUNCE!
Pounce and Neville look up.
Frizzy says, HEY!
Pounce says, FRIZZY BEARHEART!
MAYBE YOU DON'T NEED TO DIVE,
NEV.
I'VE GOT AN IDEA!
[Helicopter blades whirring]
In the rescue helicopter, Big Trev pushes a lever. A cable lifts Pounce and Neville out of the cave through the opening.
Frizzy cheers, HOME TIME, BOYS!
Outside the lifeguard headquarters, Big Trev lands the helicopter beside Gherkinn and Gemma.
Gemma cheers, YAY, YOU'RE BACK!
Frizzy, Pounce and Neville leap out of the helicopter. Big Trev walks around the other side of the helicopter.
Gemma cheers, WE DID IT!
Pounce says, GREAT EXPLORING, FRIZZY.
YOU CAN BE LEADER IF YOU WANT.
Frizzy says, ONE VOLCANO IS ENOUGH FOR
TODAY.
ANYONE ELSE WANT A TURN?
Gherkinn says, OH, ME!
PICK ME!
I DO!
Frizzy says, OKAY, GHERKINN, WHERE TO?
Gherkinn scratches his chin. He glances at Big Trev, then climbs up his back.
Gherkinn says, OLD GREY MOUNTAIN!
He waves a flag.
Laughing, Big Trev says, GET OFF THERE!
Gherkinn cheers, OH, MY FISH FACE!

She spots pile of sand shaped like a volcano in the distance.
[Frizzy gasping]
Frizzy lowers her binoculars and runs toward the pile of sand.
She says, A-HA!
WAIT.
She reaches the small sand pile. Digging in the sand, Philippa holds up a shovel. Sammy stands beside her with a bucket.

TREE!
UGH!
He holds the sandwich away from him.
[Neville giggling]
On the dock outside the lifeguard headquarters, Frizzy looks through her binoculars.
She says, WHERE IS THAT SNEAKY
VOLCANO?!
[Water spraying]
Frizzy says, A-HA!
In the ocean, a whale spurts water from their blowhole.
Frizzy sighs, AWW, IT'S JUST A WHALE!

In the cave at the end of the tunnel, Neville dusts off his hands.
He says, HOME TIME!
He hops off his seat on a boulder and lands in water.
[Splashing]
Neville says, WHOA!
THAT'S NOT GOOD.
Pounce says, WATER?
WHERE'D THAT COME FROM?
Gemma says, UH... THE OCEAN?
The group turns to the tunnel, filling with water.
Neville says, WOBBLY WOMBATS!
THE TIDE!
He hops back onto the boulder.
Gemma says, OF COURSE!
WHEN THE TIDE WAS LOW, WE COULD
GET INTO THE CAVE.
BUT NOW IT'S COME BACK UP,
FILLING THE TUNNEL.
Pounce says, NO PROBLEM!
WE'LL JUST WAIT FOR THE TIDE
TO GO DOWN AGAIN.
Neville says, THAT WON'T BE FOR HOURS!
Pounce says, OH.
NOT SO EASY.
[Pounce laughing nervously]
Gemma talks into her two way radio.
She says, HELLO?
LIFEGUARDS?
[Radio static hissing]
Gemma says, OH, THE SIGNAL'S NOT WORKING
FROM IN HERE.
Neville says, THEN WE'RE TRAPPED!
Gherkinn wails, OH, MY FISH FACE!
WHAT DO WE DO?!
Gemma says, I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
Neville says, ME TOO!
Pounce says, TRUST ME, I'M THE LEADER, AND
I'LL GET US OUT OF HERE!
LET'S SEE.
He looks up toward the ceiling of the cave.
He says, YES!
I'LL JUMP OUR WAY OUT!
Pounce hops on the spot as he looks up at an opening in the ceiling.
[Pounce straining]
Pounce keeps hoping.
Gherkinn says, YES, KEEP GOING!
BUT ABOUT TEN TIMES HIGHER!
Pounce yells, HELP!
His echo says, HELP!
HELP! HELP!
From the lifeguard headquarters, Sandy scans the beach through binoculars.
She says, HMM...
WHERE ARE THOSE KIDS?
She talks through her radio.
She says, UH... HELLO, CADETS?
Sandy presses a button on her radio.
Through it, she says, BIG TREV, NO SIGN OF THE CADETS.
In the rescue helicopter, Big Trev talks through his radio.
He says, ROGER THAT.
I'LL KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THEM
FROM UP HERE.
At the lifeguard headquarters, Sandy cruises past the dock in the rescue boat. In the cave, the water reaches the height of the fishing line on the boulder.
Pounce yells, WE'RE STUCK IN THE CAVE!
His echo says, CAVE!
CAVE! CAVE!
Gherkinn asks, WHY IS THAT CAVE GHOST NOT
HELPING US?
Pounce scratches the back of his head.
He asks, DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE AN
IDEA?
Gemma says, YES!
RIVER OTTERS CAN HOLD THEIR
BREATH UNDERWATER FOR A FEW
MINUTES!
RIGHT, GHERKINN?
Gherkinn says, OH, YAH!
WE ARE ALSO GOOD AT DANCING
THE POLKA!
Gemma wades into the water toward the tunnel.
She says, THEN, YOU CAN SWIM BACK DOWN
THE TUNNEL AND ALERT THE
LIFEGUARDS!
Pounce says, GOOD IDEA, GEMMA!
Gherkinn says, BUT WHAT IF I AM GETTING
LOST?
Neville says, YOU CAN FOLLOW THE LINE THAT
I TRAILED BEHIND US!
Pounce says, CLEVER THINKING, NEVILLE.
READY, GHERKINN?
Gherkinn says, REPORTING FOR DUTY.
OTTER-SLASH-KOALA TO THE RESCUE!
He dives into the water and follows the fishing line trail through the now under water tunnel. At the entrance to the cave, he comes up out of the water.
[Gherkinn gasping]
[Boat engine humming]
Gherkinn says, HUH?
Sandy cruises past the cave in the rescue boat.
Gherkinn calls out, YOO-HOO!
Sandy looks back toward the cave.
She says, GHERKINN?
She cruises back to the cave where she meets Gherkinn, swimming toward her.
Gherkinn says, THE CADET ALERT!
THEY ARE STUCK IN A CAVE!
Sandy grabs her radio.
Through it, she says, I FOUND THE CADETS!
THEY'RE IN THE CAVE BELOW THE
LIGHTHOUSE.
Sandy puts her radio back on her arm strap.
She says, ON IT LIKE A SEAGULL ON A CHIP.
She puts on a diving helmet.
[Alarm blaring]
[Upbeat music plays]
In a montage, the Kangaroo Beach lifeguards prepare for rescue with radios, first aid kits, and rescue boards. The travel in their rescue vehicles, a helicopter, boat, submarine, and golf cart. The junior cadets gather, ready for action, and pose.
In the tunnel in the cave, Sandy follows the fishing line trail. She reaches Gemma, Neville, and Pounce.
Gemma says, OH, GOOD!
THANK GOSH!
Sandy says, OH, HEY THERE, CADETS.
WHAT A PICKLE.
AND A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY
YOU SHOULDN'T EXPLORE CAVES
WITHOUT A TRAINED GROWN-UP.
Pounce says, IT'S MY FAULT.
AS TEAM LEADER, I SHOULDN'T
HAVE LED EVERYONE IN HERE.
Neville says, AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE
FOLLOWED HIM.
Sandy says, OH, YOU BETCHA.
ALRIGHTY, CADETS, WHO WANTS
TO COME FIRST?
Neville says, SCUBA DIVING THROUGH A
TUNNEL?
He shakes his head.
He says, NO, THANKS.
Pounce says, GEMMA SHOULD GO.
I'LL STAY HERE AND LOOK AFTER
NEVILLE.
Sandy says, NICE ONE, POUNCE.
SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE LEADER.
In the water, Gemma uses Sandy’s spare scuba diving mouthpiece and pulls on her goggles. She and Sandy dive into the water.
[Splashing]
Sandy and Gemma follow the fishing line through the tunnel. In the cave, Neville looks nervous.
[Neville groaning]
Pounce says, YOU CAN DO THIS, NEVILLE.
TRUST ME.
YOU JUST NEED TO PRACTISE
YOUR BREATHING.
IN AND OUT, NICE, AND SLOWLY.
Neville nods. He practices his breathing.
[Neville breathing heavily]
Pounce glances at the rising tide. Back on the beach, Frizzy rolls to a stop on her bike.
She says, LOG-BOOK REPORT.
I'M A FAILED EXPLORER.
Frizzy closes her eyes.
She wails, OH!
She opens her eyes.
She says, WHOA!
IS THAT...
Frizzy takes off her helmet.
She says, A VOLCANO?!
She runs over to the opening in the cave ceiling.
Pounce says, YOU'LL BE OKAY,
NEVILLE.
Frizzy says, A TALKING VOLCANO?!
She looks through the opening.
She calls out, CAPTAIN BOUNCE!
Pounce and Neville look up.
Frizzy says, HEY!
Pounce says, FRIZZY BEARHEART!
MAYBE YOU DON'T NEED TO DIVE,
NEV.
I'VE GOT AN IDEA!
[Helicopter blades whirring]
In the rescue helicopter, Big Trev pushes a lever. A cable lifts Pounce and Neville out of the cave through the opening.
Frizzy cheers, HOME TIME, BOYS!
Outside the lifeguard headquarters, Big Trev lands the helicopter beside Gherkinn and Gemma.
Gemma cheers, YAY, YOU'RE BACK!
Frizzy, Pounce and Neville leap out of the helicopter. Big Trev walks around the other side of the helicopter.
Gemma cheers, WE DID IT!
Pounce says, GREAT EXPLORING, FRIZZY.
YOU CAN BE LEADER IF YOU WANT.
Frizzy says, ONE VOLCANO IS ENOUGH FOR
TODAY.
ANYONE ELSE WANT A TURN?
Gherkinn says, OH, ME!
PICK ME!
I DO!
Frizzy says, OKAY, GHERKINN, WHERE TO?
Gherkinn scratches his chin. He glances at Big Trev, then climbs up his back.
Gherkinn says, OLD GREY MOUNTAIN!
He waves a flag.
Laughing, Big Trev says, GET OFF THERE!
Gherkinn cheers, OH, MY FISH FACE!
