Keep in mind that this is a rough draft from years ago so it does not reflect in final quality:
Basically grounding the whole talking to fish angle. It's still possible to throw in a minor joke, but my view on it is - there's a very human core story here and the fish are just as human. And in viewing them in 'captivity' my approach is very slavery-driven as something to jump off of.
INT. TANAKA AQUARIUM - VIEWING ROOMS - LATER
Arthur bends besides a Dolphin. Sarah in amazement as they interact. Hand pressed again fin, divided by glass.
SARAH
I don’t get it, how do you do that?
ARTHUR
I can understand them. They were all stolen away, forced to leave home because a predator killed their mothers.
Arthur echoes to the dolphin. The dolphin echoes back.
SARAH
What’d it just say?
ARTHUR
Thank you.
(Determined)
I’m doing this.
Arthur’s eyes dart around, taking everything in.
SARAH
What if you’re caught?
ARTHUR
(Flirting)
So, what if I am?
Arthur smirks. Sarah doesn’t fight him on it.
