Sweetheart Jimbo

[ Theme Song ]

Ella: You can do it, Annabel! You can do it! Annabel: Yah! (tosses the coin to Ricky and Pipo) Ricky and Pipo: I got it! (bump into each other) Uhh! Jimbo: One point for the girls! (Ella and Annabel both laugh. Margaret arrives) Margaret: Say there, children, do you realize we can hear you on the other side of the-- (Jimbo falls asleep) Oh, Mr. Jimbo. Are you all right? Ella: Don't worry, Margaret. He's just taking a little nap. Margaret: Sleep well, then, Mr. Jimbo. Annabel, could you give me a helping tentacle at the seaweed field? (Margaret and Annabel both swim away) Pipo: I've got to go now, too. See you later, guys! (Jimbo wakes up) Jimbo: Hmm? Is she gone? Whew. (He stares at Margaret and sighs. He realizes Ricky and Ella are watching him, making him groan) Okay. (Later, Ricky, Ella, and Jimbo are somewhere farther away) Keep this to yourselves, but every time I see Margaret, it's like a tidal wave in my heart. (giggles) (Ricky laughs) Ella: You mean to say you're in love with her? That's so cute! Ricky: Aren't you a little small for her? I mean to say that you're like this and that, well, she's like-- Ella: Size doesn't matter when you're in love. And why don't you tell her you're in love with her? Jimbo: Because I'm too ugly for her. Ella: What are you talking about? Of course she could like you. If you want, I could even give you some advice. Jimbo: What? You'd do that? Ricky: Yeah! We won't let you down.

Ricky: The important thing is, when you go to speak to Margaret, you gotta be sure of yourself, and that's gotta show in the way you swim, too. Just imagine you're a cowboy of the sea. Your turn. Jimbo: Uh, are you sure? Ricky: Well, of course. (Jimbo walks on his fins, but he falls down) Jimbo: Uh... Ricky: Winking you eye shows that you're cool and that you have self-confidence. (Jimbo laughs in agreement. Nearby, the Rockfish are watching them. They all chuckle before they all leave) Ricky: Is this how you wink? Ella: Well, that looks like you're making a face. Ricky: Try it without the tongue, just to see. (Jimbo winks) Glitz: Wow! The girls are gonna fall like flies when they see you, Jimbo. Ricky: Go away. Ella: You have no business here. (The Rockfish all laugh and swim away together) Ricky: Huh? Jimbo: I'm not very credible. Margaret's just gonna laugh at me. Ella: Huh? Of course! That's a super idea! Girls love it when you make them laugh. You should joke around with her. Jimbo: Why not? Billy the clownfish told me a couple of jokes that just might do the trick.

Margaret: If the seaweed is nice and ripe, it should easy to pick. (tries to pull out a seaweed, but it's stuck) (Nearby, Jimbo is about to swim to Margaret) Ella: Be funny! Ricky: Be a cowboy, Jimbo! (Margaret finally pulls the seaweed out, but she losts her balance and flung herself and Jimbo backwards. Ella and Ricky both gasp and cover their eyes when Margaret accidentally pushes Jimbo to a seawall) Margaret: Ohh. I'm sorry, Mr. Jimbo. I-- Jimbo: You know what the difference is between a piano and a fish? You can tune a piano, but you sure can't tuna fish! Ha ha ha! Yeah! You can't tuna fish, can you? Why don't oysters share their pearls? Because they're shellfish. Ha ha ha ha! (Jimbo awkwardly swims backwards to where Ricky and Ella are hiding) Ella: Tell her that her eyes light up the whole reef. Ricky: No! More like you've never seen tentacles so well-styled. Jimbo: Y-Y-Your eyes style up the whole t-t-tentacles! Margaret: Right. Uh, if you'll excuse me, Mr. Jimbo, I have work to do. What is it you wanted? Ella: Invite her out on a romantic stroll. Ricky: No! To play the coin game! Jimbo: Yeah, a stroll, uh, romantic c-c-coin game? Margaret: Uh... (Jimbo winks, but he also sticks his tongue out. The Rockfish all arrive) Glitz: Well, well, if it isn't the Apollo of the sea. (The Rockfish all laugh. Jimbo falls asleep)

Jimbo: I'd better just give up. With a face like this, I have no chance of going out with Margaret. (Nearby, Aroun is looking at a mirror. He winks at Mika who's swimming by) If only I could look like that handsome fish over there. Ella: We'll think of something, Jimbo. Ricky: Huh? Don't worry. I have an idea! (grabs Ella and swims to Aroun) We just have to get him to become that handsome fish. (Later that day, Ella is pulling onto Jimbo's tail to get him to go to a crab cave) Ella: As soon as I heard about that legend, I thought of you, Jimbo. It's the solution to all your problems. Jimbo: Yeah, I don't see how that can help me. I'd rather just go back to bed. (Jimbo swims away) Ella: Sure you don't want the magic shell to make all your wishes come true? (Jimbo turns around) Jimbo: It make wishes come true? Ella: Yeah, in the cave. (Jimbo swims past her) Waah! (Jimbo enters the crab cave) Jimbo: Huh? (He sees Ricky and a clam. He also sees a mirror) Ricky: Don't worry, Jimbo. In a couple of minutes, you're gonna love this mirror. Jimbo: Hmm? Ella: Close your eyes and concentrate on your wish. Jimbo: (closes his eyes) Oh, magic shell, I beg of you. (Ricky taps on the clam, and Aroun opens it from the inside) I want to become handsome, ravishing, attractive... (Unbeknownst to Jimbo, Ella and Ricky both pushes the mirror glass away. Aroun swims in front of the mirror frame) Ella: And you can open your eyes now! Jimbo: (opens his eyes and sees "reflection" as Aroun) It really worked! (Aroun pretends that he's Jimbo's reflection by copying his movements) I am handso-o-o-ome! (swims out of the cave) Margaret, here I come. Your cowboy of the sea is gonna take you out on a romantic stroll. Yah-hoo! (Jimbo and Ella both swim to Margaret) Ricky: You were perfect, Aroun. Thanks again for your help. (Glitz arrives) Glitz: Who's your friend there? He's cute. Not like your friend Jimbo. Ricky: Ha! Too bad for you. 'Cause it is Jimbo. He went to make a wish in the cave of the magic shell, and now he looks like this. Glitz: (to Aroun) Jimbo? Is that you? (swims inside the cave) Oh, magic shell, don't tell anybody, but I so wish my fins were longer. (She closes her eyes. Unbeknownst to her, Ricky pushes the mirror glass away and places a deep-water fish behind the mirror frame. Glitz gasps when she sees her "reflection") But... I'm a monster! (swims away) Aaaah! Ricky: (laughs) That'll teach her a lesson. Deep-water fish: Who was that stuck-up talking about?

Ella: I hope this works. I really hope this works. Jimbo: Hello, beautiful Margaret. Would you do me the honor of accompanying me tonight for a little swim across the reef? Margaret: Mr. Jimbo? It's as if... you're somehow different. Jimbo: I'll take that for a yes. I'll come by and pick you up at sunset, ravishing creature. (Jimbo swims away, leaving Margaret flattered) Ella: Yippee! Margaret: Huh? (Ella giggles)

Margaret: What a lovely evening, Mr. Jimbo. (A swarm of jellyfish appears) Jimbo: Oh! Look, Margaret. Margaret: Ohh! (The jellyfish are forming a heart. Ricky and Ella are hiding nearby) Ella: And now phase two. (Later, Margaret and Jimbo are relaxing at the bubble bath clam) Margaret: These bubbles are divine, Mr. Jimbo. (Nearby, Ricky and Ella are watching them) Ricky: How about a little music for the atmospshere? (Ricky, Ella, Pipo, and Annabel all start playing a musical instrument. Pipo is blowing a conch shell, Ella is playing a ukulele made of shell, Ricky is pounding a shell like a bongo, and Annabel is playing five shells like a xylophone) Margaret: Ooh. Jimbo: Yeah. Margaret: Oh, you've got such a great sense of rhythm, Mr. Jimbo. (Margaret and Jimbo both start dancing. Later that evening, Jimbo takes Margaret home) Thank you for this exquisite evening. Jimbo: You're the one who's exquisite, Margaret. Good night. I'll come and see you first thing in the morning. That is... if you would like me to. (Margaret holds onto Jimbo's cheeks for a brief seconds, before she swims back to her habitat. Jimbo swims up and leaps out of the water) Yah-hoo! ♫Ma-Ma-Ma-Margaret♫ (swims to the crab cave) Yeah! Let's go thank the wonderful magic shell. (swims inside the cave, but he sees the mirror frame is lying down) Hmm? (He gasps when he sees his reflection) What? This can't be! The magic spell is broken! No-o-o-o-o!

Ricky: Catch! If you can. (tosses the coin to Ella) Hah! (Ella catches the coin) Huh? (Margaret arrives) Margaret: Ella? You haven't seen Mr. Jimbo, have you? He was supposed to come see me this morning. Ricky: Don't you worry, Margaret. We'll find Jimbo. (Nearby, Glitz is watching them) Glitz: Oh, they can't see me like this. (Ricky, Ella, and Margaret all swim to the shell school. Ricky and Ella look inside, but they didn't see Jimbo) Margaret: Maybe I did something wrong. Ella: Of course not, Margaret. (Margaret, Ricky, and Ella all swim away, unaware that Glitz is hiding inside the school. The three all swim back to the seaweed garden) You have nothing to blame yourself for. Ricky: (notices something) Uh... huh? Wait a second! I think I saw something move at the back of the cave.

(Ricky sees Jimbo's tail and he swims to him) Jimbo: Don't come near me! Margaret: Mr. Jimbo? If you have a problem, I could-- Jimbo: Forget about me, Margaret. We can't be together anymore. Just go! (Margaret swims away, crying) Ella: We won't leave this cave until you tell us what your problem is. Jimbo: Can't you tell? I've gone back to being ugly. How could Margaret ever still want to go out with me? Ella: Jimbo, the legend of the magic shell doesn't really exist. We made it all up. You never really looked any different. Jimbo: Don't try to take me for a fool. I saw it with my very own eyes. Ella: You want to see the same thing again? (Ricky and Ella did the same trick to Jimbo again, with Aroun in the mirror frame) Jimbo: (sees his "reflection") It's--It's working again! Hey there, handsome. Aroun: Hi there. My name's Aroun. (swims out the mirror frame) Jimbo: Hmm? So all that was just bluff? Ricky: Yes, and we're sorry. We only did it so you would have more self-confidence. Ella: Margaret couldn't care less about your appearance. You should go and see her. Jimbo: It's too late. I broke her heart earlier on. She'll never want to talk to me ever again. Just leave me be. (Ricky whispers something to Aroun) Aroun: Well, if Jimbo isn't interested in going out with Margaret anymore, I'm gonna go and ask her out myself. Jimbo: Hmm? Don't even think about it! She's my Margaret! (swims out of the cave and chases after Aroun) (Nearby, Glitz is making another wish to the "magic shell") Glitz: Magic shell, make me as pretty as I was before. Jimbo: (to Aroun) Just because you're handsome doesn't give you the right to do whatever you please! Glitz: Huh? (Jimbo swims to Margaret's seaweed garden)

Jimbo: Come on, Jimbo, you can totally do this. (Jimbo accidentally bumps into Margaret, and he lands on her tentacles) Margaret: Oh! Mr. Jimbo? Jimbo: I'm not handsome, I'm smaller than you are, I don't know how to tell jokes, or even how to wink the right way. But I love you, Margaret. Margaret: Oh! Ohh! (Margaret kisses Jimbo on the lips. Nearby, Ricky and Ella are both watching them) Ricky and Ella: It worked! Aroun: Ahh, ain't love grand?

Glitz: At least you won't make fun of me. (Glitz places herself between the two deep-water fish)
