Flipper (1964–1967): Season 2, Episode 11 - A Job for Sandy - full transcript
Sandy has an opportunity to watch a stunt man perform an underwater stunt, but when he injures his back, Sandy decides to take over the stunt without anyone knowledge.
- Okay, let's shove off!
- Sandy!
Hey, hey, take it easy.
Joe said he'd be here, he'll be here.
- Take it easy, how can I take it easy?
It isn't every day that a movie company
comes to Coral Key to
shoot underwater pictures.
- Well, I know that, Sandy...
- And it isn't every day
that maybe the best stunt man in the world
is gonna take me with him
to watch the shooting.
I hope Joe didn't forget.
- He didn't forget, he's
got a lot of things to do
before he starts shooting,
that's all, he'll be here.
Take it easy, take it easy.
- Dad, Joe's here!
Hi, Joe, I'm ready.
- Oh, there's no rush,
there's plenty of time.
Good morning, Mr. Ricks.
- Hi, Joe, how are you?
- Good, where's Bud?
- He's on a field trip with a scout group.
- That's why Flipper's so upset, huh?
- That's right.
- Yeah, they went inland,
and he couldn't go.
- Joe, I wanna thank you
for taking Sandy out today.
- Oh, I'm glad to have him.
- Okay, stay out of
trouble, will you, sport?
I'll be in the south channel
on a dredging operation.
I'll see you both later.
- Take it easy.
- All right.
- See you later, Dad.
You think we oughta get goin'?
- Well, we have to wait
until the equipment boat
gets out into the bay,
and they hook up the
underwater lighting system
to the generator on the barge.
- Well, can't we watch 'em do that?
- Nah, it'd be too risky,
'til they check the circuits.
There's a lot of high
voltage in those cables.
You know how water conducts electricity.
- How will we know when they're
ready for us to come out?
- They'll send up a flare.
I got it arranged with the
production man, Mr. Webson.
- All right, oh, thanks a lot
for explaining the script to me.
It'll be a swell picture.
Hey, do you think I could
be a stunt man, someday?
- Well, you got a pretty good start.
You're already a really good diver.
Take a look at this mask.
Oh!
- Joe, what's the matter?
- It's an old injury I got doing a stunt.
- I better call a doctor.
- No no, it kicks up
once in a great while.
Nothing to do for it but rest.
- Come on, I'll help you to the house.
You can lie down for a while.
- Look, I can make it alone, Sandy.
Will you go up and tell Mr. Webson
that I can't shoot my scene today?
You'll find him out on the barge.
- Sure, Joe.
- Thanks.
- Hear that, Flipper?
I have to tell Mr. Webson
that Joe can't go to work.
♫ 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
- Quiet, Flipper.
I have to learn Joe's part,
if I'm gonna double for him.
Cut it out, I don't care what you think.
Besides, Joe could lose his job,
if somebody doesn't pitch in for him.
Cut it out.
- All right, men, let me
have your attention here
for a minute, on the shot.
Now, this is the scuba sphere's position.
We'll lower it as soon as the power cables
are hooked up to the lights.
As soon as the light tests are completed,
Joe Malison will come down for his stunt.
He'll swim in from his boat,
and plant the explosive.
When he's finished,
we'll shoot the rest of
the scuba sphere scene,
then we'll do the submarine stunt.
Okay, any questions?
Do a good job.
- Mr. Webson, the scuba
sphere is on its way down.
- All right, tell the generator
man to give it full power.
. Okay-
Okay, Joe, give her the gas.
- Let me know it's ready.
Hey, let me have the flare pistol.
- There it is, Flipper.
Keep your fingers crossed
they won't recognize me.
Stop worrying!
Cut it out, Flipper.
I'm not gonna chicken out now.
- Okay, Joe, we're ready for you.
- Well, that's it, Flipper, I'm on.
And you stay here,
you're not in the script.
- How did everything go down there?
Very good, okay, everybody
out of the water!
Let's set up for the next shot.
- Hello, Flipper, what's
all the excitement?
What is it?
As if I'd know if you told me.
Oh, I see, you're inviting me for a swim.
Now stop it, you don't play
with electric power cables!
Cut it out, Flipper, I said!
That's a lot of electric power
you're fooling around with!
Stop it, drop it, you bite
through that insulation,
and you'll know what electricity is!
Oh!
Flipper, there's a time for
work and a time for play!
And now is a time for work!
Boy, hi Charlie.
See what that crazy dolphin did to me?
Say, why is the needle so high?
We must have a break in the
cable, turn off the power.
- Joe?
Well, what are you doing here?
- I conked out.
- What's the matter?
- Ah, it's my back, goes
out once in a while.
Feels a little better.
- Well, that's good.
Where's Sandy?
- Oh, he went out to tell Mr. Webson
I couldn't shoot my scene today.
- Oh.
- Should be back by now.
- Well, he'll back soon,
he's probably with Flipper.
It's almost lunchtime,
and that appetite of his
is better than any alarm
clock I've ever seen.
You hungry?
- Yeah.
- Well, why don't you stay
and have lunch with us?
- Fine, thanks.
What's the matter with Flipper?
He still worried about Bud?
- I don't know.
But I'm worried about Sandy.
I think we better take a look.
What is it, Flipper?
- Hey, my skiff's gone.
- Well, Sandy's skiff's here.
Hey, wait a minute,
isn't this your script?
- Yeah, you don't think that crazy kid
decided to double for me?
- Well, I don't think so, but,
I better take a look anyway.
- Here, I wanna go with you.
- No, you better stay here.
- I can make it.
- Sandy, you all right?
- Thanks, Dad.
Thanks,Flipper
- Come on, let's go, here we go.
- Hey, Joe, I sure hope I
didn't get you into any trouble
with your boss, Mr. Webson.
- No, you didn't.
You're just lucky you didn't
get yourself into more trouble.
- I sure goofed, huh?
- You sure did.
I know you were trying to do me a favor,
and I appreciate that.
But you took an awful lot on yourself.
- Well, you know what they say, Sandy.
Don't send a boy to do...
- I know, to do a man's job.
- Well, it could have
happened to any of us.
Besides, if you're gonna
be a professional diver,
you'll have to handle
yourself in many an emergency.
- Well, at least Flipper kept
his head, even if I didn't.
