The two navy recruiters discuss the mermaids while one of the navy people's two children holler to go on a boat ride.

One girl underwater, using ASL, says "breathe", the other signs "Got it". The Navy man thinks Signing? We see the swimmers from behind. The Navy people and one of the kids are the only people in the audience not recording with their phones. One mermaid signs Man, then staring. The other mermaid responds Cute. The man sinks in his seat, blushing. He leans to his colleague saying I think it's those two, while a little girl shushes him. The colleague says Talk to them while he quietly apologizes to the little girl for interrupting the show.
