Susan: Was that a shark?
Daniel: I don't know. I think it was a dolphin.
Susan: No it wasn't a dolphin, because if it was you would be over there playing with it.
Trivia: During filming the actors were not allowed to wear sunscreen because it was too shiny for the camera. They got terrible sunburns from the neck up.
