[Splash]
Bondi, Pounce and Gemma stand on a beach by water.
[Upbeat music plays]
Bondi says, WELL, WE'LL HAVE TO START
WITHOUT FRIZZY AND NEVILLE.
A LIFEGUARD ALWAYS HAS A RESCUE
BOARD CLOSE BY.
IT'S OFTEN THE FASTEST WAY TO
GET TO SOMEONE WHO'S IN TROUBLE.
Sandy stands on the shore on the other side of the water.
Sandy says, HELP. HELP, HELP.
LOOK, I'M IN TROUBLE HERE. HELP.
Bondi says, ALRIGHT, FIRST ONE
TO SANDY WINS THE MEDALLION.
READY, CADET. GO!

Frizzy asks, ANY PRIZES FOR DEAD LAST?
[Gentle music plays]
Sandy says, YOU KNOW WHAT, FRIZZY?
YOU SEEM A LITTLE DISTRACTED.
THERE'S ONE SKILL LIFEGUARDS
NEED THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT
THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
Frizzy asks, IS IT WINNING?
Sandy says, NO, IT'S PAYING ATTENTION.
LIFEGUARDS NEED TO FOCUS SO THEY
CAN SPOT SWIMMERS IN DANGER.
AND IF YOU WANT TO WIN A
MEDALLION TODAY, YOU'LL HAVE
TO FOCUS.
Frizzy says, FOCUS.
WIN MEDALLION. GOT IT.

Neville says, HUH?

I'M DR. LIFEGUARD NEVILLE.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
Big Trev says, OH, NOT SO GOOD.
MY ARM HURTS.
Neville says, HMM. THAT SOUNDS SERIOUS.

Frizzy stands on a bench next to Gherkinn.
Frizzy sings, FOCUS, FOCUS, FRIZZY FOCUS.

THE BEST FIRST AID, AND THAT
CADET IS...
[Drum roll plays]
Gemma says, OOH.
Pounce says, AH.
Bondi announces, NEVILLE!
[Neville gasps]
Bondi says, BECAUSE HE MADE
SURE HE TREATED THE CORRECT
BODY PART.
HE ALSO FITTED THE BANDAGE
PROPERLY AND MADE SURE HIS
PATIENT FELT COMFORTABLE.
WELL DONE.
Sandy hangs a medallion around Neville’s neck.
[Clink, cheerful music plays]
Neville says, WOW! THANKS.
[Gemma and Pounce cheer]
[Waves crash]
Frizzy grumbles, I'M NEVER GOING
TO WIN A MEDALLION.
SANDY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO
PAY ATTENTION. BUT I COULDN'T
EVEN FOCUS WITH A FOCUSING SONG.
[Soothing music plays]
Neville says, YOU DON'T NEED
A SONG TO PAY ATTENTION, FRIZZY.
TRY TAKING A DEEP BREATH IN AND
JUST LISTEN.
[Inhaling]
Neville asks, WHAT CAN YOU HEAR?
Frizzy says, I CAN HEAR...YOU.
[They giggle]
Neville says, NOW, LOOK AROUND.
WHAT CAN YOU SEE?
[Gulls cry]
Frizzy says, UH, I DON'T
KNOW. EVERYTHING?
Neville says, EXACTLY.
Frizzy says, OOH.
I CAN SEE ALL THE THINGS BECAUSE
I'M NOT DISTRACTED BY ONE LITTLE
SPARKLY THING.
Neville holds out his medallion.
Neville says, NOW, THAT DESERVES
A SPARKLY THING.
Frizzy says, AW, THANKS, NEVILLE,
BUT I'M OKAY. I'M GOING TO EARN
MY OWN.
Neville says, PHEW. I WAS HOPING
YOU WOULD SAY THAT.
[Both giggle]
[Water sloshes]
Bondi and Sandy stand in front of the cadets on a hill beside a beach. Each cadet holds binoculars.
[Gulls cry, clicking]
Bondi says, OUR FINAL CHALLENGE IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT-- SPOTTING.
IF WE DON'T SPOT THE SWIMMERS
WHO ARE IN TROUBLE, WE CAN'T
HELP THEM.
Sandy says, ALRIGHT, I'M EXCITED.
SO, YOU'LL EACH HAVE A PAIR OF
BINOCULARS AND A LIST OF ITEMS.

Frizzy says, I'LL GUIDE YOU.

A RIDE! EVERYONE GETS A RIDE!
[Upbeat music plays, background cheering]
Sandy pulls the cadets on a raft behind her jet ski. They stand in a pyramid, with Pounce and Gemma on the bottom row, Neville in the middle and Frizzy perched on top.
A voice from the crowd shouts, IT'S FRIZZY!
[Cheering]
Gherkinn says, OH, YEAH, THERE
THEY ARE! THEY'RE SO GOOD!
[Frizzy blows kisses]
Frizzy says, MWAH, MWAH!
AH, AH, AH, AH!
Frizzy wobbles.
Cadets say, FOCUS, FRIZZY, FOCUS!
Frizzy says, MWAH!
[Upbeat music plays]
