Elementary Unit 12 DVD Script
F = Voice-over T = Tanya J = Jim
V: Tanya Streeter is a world famous diver but she’s afraid of sharks. So she decides to go for … shark therapy.
At first, it isn’t easy. The sharks arrive. Tanya feels nervous as she watches the sharks from the boat.
T: I didn’t think that there were going to be this many of them. And I didn’t think that they were going to be … quite so … erm, big.
V: Tanya prepares to dive. She’s feeling very frightened.
T: This isn’t good. I’ve got to get more brave.
V: Tanya dives into the water, and the sharks swim towards her … the shiny suit attracts them. When she swims back to the boat, one shark follows her!
T: OK.
V: Not a good start for Tanya’s shark therapy … so she asks the shark expert … Jim Abernathy to help.
T: And how about my suit because I have noticed that the Caribbean reef sharks in particular seem to be quite interested in my rather shiny suit.
V: Er, I noticed the suit and I think we should change the suit completely … and I think we should go with all black.
T: All black? OK.
V: And it’s time for the big dive – with the tiger sharks. Jim throws fish-heads into the water to attract the sharks.
And as Tanya dives, the sharks come to her straightaway. Jim gives Tanya a stick to protect herself.
T: Oh, my gosh! Thank you.
J: Tanya, there’s another one behind you. Keep the stick vertical.
T: That’s a big shark.
J: Tanya, it just turned back towards you. Tanya, Tanya … Tanya!
Tanya, look behind you over on your left. Use the stick first.
V: After some time, Tanya starts to feel more comfortable with the sharks.
T: It’s just beautiful.
V: Her fear has gone. The shark therapy has been successful.
J: That was wonderful! Tanya did great.
T: It’s a real relief to have done this today. I do feel like I’ve accomplished something. I’ve started to overcome my very real fear.
