- Thailand. Ashwini and Adhu start scuba diving beside a boat. Ashwini is excited; Adhu looks nervous and thinks, “Nope. Not for me.” Dad watches from the boat.
- Adhu returns to the boat. “I’m done!” Dad stares at the booking receipt in shock: “But we paid for TWO!” Ashwini waits in the water.
- Dad puts on scuba gear and raises a finger. “One daughter out. One dad in!” Adhu watches from the boat while Ashwini looks up at him.
- A little deeper… Dad and Ashwini swim underwater together. Ashwini points at a fish beside the coral.
- Ashwini touches her ear and signals toward the surface. She thinks, “My ears hurt… I want to go up.” Dad notices.
- Dad thinks, “Time for my best moves!” He starts an absurd underwater dance, one hand over his bald head, flippers pointing out. Ashwini and two fish stare.
- Dad wiggles and points like an underwater disco star. Ashwini laughs and thinks, “I asked to go UP. He’s doing STAND-UP.”
- Back on the boat, Dad says, “Scuba AND a dance show. Full value!” Ashwini replies, “The fish want a refund.” Adhu laughs beside them.
