- Easy Gray Boy, easy boy, easy.
Okay
Okay, let's follow him down the beach,
but keep out of sight.
♫ They call him Flipper, Flipper,
♫ Faster than lightning,
♫ No one you see,
♫ ls smarter than he,
♫ And we know Flipper,
♫ Lives in a world full of wonder,
♫ Lying there under,
♫ Under the sea!
- Flipper!
Flipper!
Flipper, we're all ready to start
my new scientific experiment.
Now listen, this is what I want you to do.
I'm going to prove that you're
just about the fastest thing on Earth.
No, no, no the very fastest.
Now listen, swim over to there and then
I want you to swim just as
fast as you can to there.
Understand?
And then I'll time it and then we can see
how fast you've gone by strangulation,
I mean, uh, uh, triangulation, yeah.
Gee, I bet you Dad will be so proud of me
when he learns I'm
going to be a scientist.
Alright, alright now get
over there on your mark.
Will you stop clowning around?
Will you look at that!
What do you suppose a horse is doing here?
Let's go over and see,
maybe I can even get a ride!
Hey, wait a minute, wait!
Hi.
- Hi.
- What are you doing with this horse?
- I'm training him.
- Training him for what?
- He hurt his leg in a show.
I read in a book that it might help
if he's worked out in salt water.
- Ohh.
Hey, he's a real show horse, eh?
- Sure is, he's Thorn
Boy out of Wind Flight.
- What do you mean?
- Gee, you don't know much
about horse genealogy do you?
That means Thorn Boy's the father
and Wind Flight's the mother.
- Ohh.
Well, what's your horse's name?
- Gray BOY-
- What's your name?
- Stevie Reynolds.
- My name's Bud Ricks, my
father's the park ranger here.
Do you live around here?
- No, I'm visiting Mr. and Mrs.
Dunstock, they own Gray Boy.
What's that?
- Flipper.
- A fish?
- A dolphin.
He's our pet, my brother Sandy's and mine.
Sandy's away on a camping
trip this weekend.
- What can you do with a fish?
- A dolphin.
- I mean a dolphin, for a pet?
- Well a lot more things than
you can do with an old horse.
And right now I'm going to prove
that Flipper's the fastest thing on Earth.
- Bet he's not faster than Gray Boy.
- Bet he is, bet he's faster.
- There's no way to prove it.
- Sure there is, we could have a race.
- You mean a race between
Flipper and Gray Boy?
- Sure, why not?
Gray Boy could run along the beach
while Flipper swims out there.
- You'd be handicapping my horse
if you made him run in the sand.
Anyway, Gray Boy can do more tricks.
You can't even ride Flipper.
- Sure I can, I do it all the time.
- I don't believe you.
- Well come out in my
boat and I'll show you.
- Gee, I'd love to, but
I can't leave Gray Boy.
He's too valuable to leave alone.
He's worth thousands and
thousands of dollars.
- Can't you tie him up or something?
We could keep an eye on him.
- Well, okay.
- Flipper!
Flipper!
Now watch me and Flipper.
Flipper!
- Gee, that's swell.
Hey, look, they're stealing Gray Boy!
- Hey, you!
Go get my dad, that way, I'll follow them!
- Now listen, sonny, I'd
throw you overboard except
you're less trouble here where
I can keep an eye on you.
Now you better keep quiet if
you don't want to get hurt.
- Stevie turn that last
dial on the left on.
WD9598 calling Coast Guard.
WD9598 calling Coast
Guard, come in please.
- This is Coast
Guard, Jackson speaking, over.
- Jackson we've got some trouble here.
A couple of men stole
a valuable show horse
from the park and took off by boat.
And my son Bud tried to stop them
and I understand he's on
board with them, over.
- Got it.
Do you know in which
direction they're headed?
- I think they're headed north.
I'm underway now and I'll
try to intercept them.
Jackson we could use all
the help we can get, over.
- Okay, we'll send out
the search copter right
away, keep in touch.
- Roger and out.
- Hey, what are you going to do with him?
- None of your business.
- Well, what are you going to do with me?
- As soon as we make Center Port and get
the horse stowed away we'll let you go.
- But how am I going
to get home from there?
- You're a big boy, you figure it out.
Hey, what are you doing?
Why, you little!
- Flipper help!
- What's that?
Hey!
Turn the boat, quick!
- Why?
- The horse and kid jumped overboard.
- Hey, Joe, look!
- Keep heading for Center
Port, maybe they'll pass over.
- Well what about the horse?
- Which would you rather have,
the horse or two years in jail?
- Oh, how are they gonna
know we're stealing him?
- I got a healthy respect
for them Coast Guard boys,
and I ain't taking any chances.
Keep her going.
- Flipper!
Flipper!
Flipper come here!
Go get Gray Boy, Flipper!
He's headed out into
the ocean, he'll drown.
Bring him back, go get him!
That a boy, Flipper!
Turn him around.
Good one, Flipper!
Now bring him back here.
This way Gray Boy, come on!
Here boy!
Flipper, go get help, Flipper!
Go on Flipper.
- WD9598,
WD9598, come in please.
- This is WD9598, Porter Ricks, go ahead.
- Porter, this
is Jackson, Coast Guard.
The copter's spotted what they think
are your horse thieves near Center Port.
The boat matches the
description you gave us,
but there's no horse and no boy aboard.
Are they back with you?
- No, they're not on board with us, over.
- Okay, we'll
start looking for them,
I'll keep in touch.
- Roger, out.
Stevie, are you alright?
- Sure Mr. Ricks, I always
close my eyes when I pray.
It helps me to concentrate.
- Oh, I see.
Well don't worry, Stevie,
we'll get Gray Boy back.
- It's not Gray Boy I'm
praying for, it's Bud.
- Stevie, look, look, there's Flipper!
Flipper, where's Bud?
Show us where Bud is!
- Flipper, Flipper hurry!
Dad, Dad over here!
Dad,Dad!
- Here, Bud!
Throw it!
- Catch that!
- Stevie, Gray Boy's alright.
But Dad, did you catch
those horse thieves?
- Not yet, Bud.
They will and they'll
need you to identify them.
Now come on, let's get you
aboard and Gray Boy on shore.
- Now, your turn, Gray Boy.
Would you help me, Mr. Ricks?
- Sure, Stevie.
What can I do for you?
- Would you just put this in his mouth
and snap it onto the bridle?
- Put this in his mouth
and put it on, alright.
Like that?
- Yes.
- And then put it in his mouth.
Put it in like this?
- Yeah.
- And then snap it on here, huh?
- Yeah.
- Alright.
Now what?
- Do you have a match, Mr. Ricks?
- Yeah, I think so.
- Would you just light both ends?
- Alright.
- Wow, will you look at that.
- Have you ever seen a horse
hold fire in his mouth before?
- Well, no I haven't.
- Mr. Ricks, would you please blow it out?
- Yes, sir.
- Would you please take
it off now, Mr. Ricks?
You did all right, too, boy.
- Yeah, he's okay.
- He's a fine horse, Stevie,
and he'll win many more prizes.
- I guess winning's
not the most important,
as long as you know you've
got friends like Flipper.
- Flipper will always
be his friend, Stevie,
and we'll always be yours.
- We sure will.
