Dolphin Summer

Hey there, Charles.

I missed you. Did you miss me?

All interns, report to the break room.

Hey! I'm coming. Let me just clean up.

Bye, Charles. I'll miss you.

This morning I heard from Abaco Island Marine Sanctuary.

In case you don't know who they are,

which you should since you work here,

they are one of the most prestigious

marine sanctuaries in the world.

They are holding a summer internship

for a select few.

If you are serious about a marine biology career,

I highly suggest that you apply.

That's exactly what you need.

Now, it is only for a select few.

It does appear that

the announcement was made globally.

-Yes, Sarah? -There's no prices on here.

Any idea how much it will cost?

Good question.

I'm guessing $5,000 to $6,000.

I know it's expensive,

but you're investing in your future.

And investing in your future

is one of the single most important things

that you will do.

Whoa.

This application is old school.

It has to be snail mail,

and the video needs to be DVD or mini-DV.

-What even is that? -It's the old tapes.

You know, the ones our parents used to use on us as kids.

But I have to ask my parents before I even try.

-What about you? -Nah.

All I have to do is make it seem like this

is something that will help my career or my education.

My parents won't care.

Last summer, I got a week in South Beach doing that.

-You should try that. -Yeah, but I wouldn't need

to make it seem like it was that important.

It is this important.

I mean, this is my dream.

Sarah, you have tuition coming up,

dorm housing, a meal plan.

Allison wants to go to clown camp.

And your ankle surgery wasn't exactly cheap.

Yeah, you had to sell all your hair to pay for it.

Really?

But all of these things were for fun.

Yeah, I'm bald and had surgery for fun.

I assume the skateboarding part was.

For five seconds.

Why are you picking on me though now?

Okay, Dad, all I'm trying to say

is this is an opportunity of a lifetime.

I could just swim with dolphins and be with other animals

to further my career and education.

And it is the most prestigious

marine sanctuary in the whole entire world.

Dad, Roman philosopher Seneca--

"Luck is when opportunity meets preparation."

Exactly.

So if you want to take advantage of this opportunity,

you need to be prepared to pay for it yourself.

When I get an after school job,

it's going to be a job that actually pays

and doesn't involve fish poop.

Sarah! Sarah, look at this.

Look at this. Come on.

Remember the video that has to be in the mini-DV thing?

Check this out. This is fire.

Are you serious? You rock, Mikey!

We can make our videos now.

What is "SI Swimsuit Edition 01 Hot"?

This must have belonged to, like, a fashion designer.

I don't know, but I got it from Goodwill.

20 bucks for everything.

And we tested the camera. It's good to go.

When should we do our videos?

The deadline for shipping is Friday.

Well, why procrastinate? Let's do them today after work.

Okay.

Yeah, I guess we can just go straight to my house.

Yay! I'm excited!

We have a Code Orange.

Code Orange. An iguana has escaped.

Stand back, everybody!

I got this.

Oh, my god! He bit me! He really bit me!

Michael, Michael, calm down. You've been trained on this.

It's just an iguana.

Michael, these are not venomous.

Look, I didn't know they weren't venomous.

I watched my dad get bit by a gila monster in New Mexico.

I'm scarred.

Three words-- funniest thing ever.

All right. Laugh it up.

Let's just call it survival of the fittest.

And...

take that for me.

-Thank you. -Got it.

We are making history today.

Literally, these tapes are so cool.

All right.

"Sa-hair-ah, Sah-har-ah", let it roll.

And ready?

All right.

Three, two, one.

Action!

Hello, AIMS family.

My name is Sarah Carlson,

and I'm 18 years old from Marble Falls, Texas.

I've been volunteering at

the San Antonio Aquarium for like the past...

Aw!

You were texting and driving?

Oh! You almost just killed this little dog.

What if this would have been a child?

You are so irresponsible.

- Thank you! - You're welcome.

Be sure to keep this little angel inside

or on a leash, okay?

Oh my gosh. I hope we didn't break it.

Oh, man.

All right, I'm gonna switch the tapes

just in case we damaged the last one.

And...

you ready?

All right. Take two.

Here we go.

Three, two, one.

And action!

Hi, my name is Sarah Carlson.

I am 18 years old from Marble Falls, Texas.

And I've been working at the San Antonio Aquarium

for the past four years.

I have become very familiar with the reef structure

and have a strong dedication

to the study and care of marine life.

If I am selected to be an intern at AIMS,

I will be so grateful and extremely excited to share

my love and care for animals and to be contributing

to the sanctuary's vital work and furthering my growth

to become a future marine biologist.

Thank you so much for hosting this internship

and providing a amazing opportunity for us.

Have a "fin-tastic" day!

Nice.

You definitely got this.

I even want to compete after that.

Hey, don't think of us as competition.

You never know. We can both get in.

I know, I know.

I'm not ready. Okay? You know me.

Mr. Procrastination. I thought I would just wing it.

Hey, keep it real.

You've got this.

After yours, I really think I need

a bit more time to practice.

I promise I will knock it out of the park.

No worries.

Just get started on your essay

so we can send them in at the same time.

He's such a goof.

Come in.

Okay, are you sure you have the correct shipping address?

-Yep. -Seahorse Drive. Abaco?

Yep. I already got it covered.

Sarah! Sarah! It's delivered.

Let me check mine.

Received!

Oh, fingers crossed, Mikey!

Hey, do you want to come over after work

and binge some more Supernatural Activity?

-Yes. -Great, come on.

-What? -How about the stripes, though?

I like zebras. I like zebras.

Okay, fair enough.

Did you ever find out if this belonged to

a famous fashion designer?

Nah, I never watched the tapes.

You wanna check it out?

Yeah. Let's see what's on these.

Alright.

Alright.

Take two!

Three, two, one, and action!

Hello, AIMS family. My name is Sarah Carlson.

Sarah, I don't know what...

Wait, what? I'm confused.

Did you make a copy?

No, I... I... I...

I don't know how the tapes got mixed...

mixed up?

What do you mean the tapes got mixed up?

I don't know, okay? I...

There were two tapes that day, okay?

I sent the one with your name on it.

-I know I did. -What did we do?
