Flipper (1964–1967): Season 2, Episode 18 - Flipper's Odyssey: Part 3 - full transcript

Flipper is captured by fishermen and brought to a marine exhibit more than 200 miles from Coral Key. When Peter and his sons find out, they hurriedly sail their boat up the coast searching ...

- Hey, Dad?

What are we gonna do about Bud?

- Well, there's not much we can do, Sandy,

except wait and hope.

- Been more than a week
since Flipper's disappeared.

Bud's making himself sick.

Just mopes around.

If only we knew for sure
what happened to Flipper.

- Yeah, I know.

Well, maybe this camping trip
will make him feel better.

I'll go down and talk to him.



Bud?

- Hi, Dad.

- Bud, have you got your tackle box packed

for tomorrow morning?

- Um-um.

- Well, come on, let's
go, let's get with it.

- Wait a minute, Dad.

Maybe I'd better stay here.

If Flipper comes back, well,
he won't be able to find us.

I'll go down and talk to him.

He'll find us, he always has.

- Well, what do you mean
if he does come back?

Dad, Flipper will come
back, I know he will.

- Look, Bud,
of course he'll come back.



I know that, and you
know that, too, but, uh,

well, in the meantime, we've
got a lot of work to do.

So, come on, let's get with it, all right?

. Okay-

- Come on, Bud!

. Okay-

♫ They call him Flipper

♫ Flipper, faster than lightning

♫ No one, you see, is smarter than he

♫ And we know Flipper

♫ Lives in a world full of wonder

♫ Lying there under, under the sea

- Hey, Señor dolphin,
you feel good today, eh?

Hey, you feel very good!

Oh, Danny and me, we go catch the fish.

You like to come, eh?

- Ha ha, sure you come, yes,

but you watch yourself.

Just a few day ago, you very sick dolphin.

You not very strong yet.

Alright, you go.

Hey, come on, we go catch the fish!

- Hey, I've got one!

- Get him in, Sandy.

Oh, he's a beauty!

Get him up, look at that, look at that.

Bud, look at this!

Bud, you've got one!

Come on now, get him in!

That's a boy.

- Bud, that's the third
one you've lost today.

- Well, these are more slippery than

when I usually fish.

- Ah, come on now!

- Bud, why don't you try my pole, son,

it's got a little bigger
plug on it, come on.

- Dad, I really don't
feel like fishing today.

- Well, what do you feel like doing, Bud?

- Well, explore the island maybe.

- All right, that's a good idea.

We will explore the island.

You be Robinson Crusoe, and
I'll be your man Friday, okay?

- And I'll be your man Saturday.

- Dad, I was wondering if
it'd be all right with you

if I went by myself.

- Well, I guess so, Bud.

Yeah, I guess so, if
you stay on the beach.

You know there's a lot
of bad caves over there.

- I promise, Dad.

- Wouldn't it be more fun if we all

took a look at the island together?

- Well, Sandy, every once in awhile,

a man needs to be alone.

You know what I mean?

- Gee, thanks, Dad, I
knew you'd understand.

- Okay, son, okay.

All right, Bud, get the bow anchor.

Sandy, let's secure this
gear and get outta here.

- Hey, we gotta want to see!

Oh, it's a big one, it's a little one, eh?

Hey, come on, you, come on, you!

I gotta get it in here!

He)!' Come on!

Oh: Si,

No, no, he's not for you.

He's for your dolphin friend
when it comes supper time.

Hey, come here, I like to
tell you something, huh?

Oh, si.

Luigi, he was kinda scared
when we let you out today.

Si, we think you swim away
and leave Danny and me.

Please, please, you forgive, huh?

We much shame.

You prove you trust me,

I should know better than to distrust you.

I tell you one more little thing, si.

Danny and me, we feel much
proud to have you in the family.

Oh, you nice fella.

Oh, we like you.

Oh, you such a beautiful, brave fella.

Hey, Danny, how you like that, eh?

- Okay, Bud, you can shove off now,

but be back in a half hour, son.

We should have chow by then.

- Okay, Dad.

- Dad, don't you think
we ought to go with him?

- No, Sandy, this is something he's got

to work out for himself.

I think he feels that instinctively.

We can share his grief, but
we can't help him overcome it.

Well, let's see if you can rustle up

some firewood for me, okay?

- Hi, pelican.

I don't suppose you know
what happened to my Flipper?

Flipper?

Flipper!

Flipper!

Flipper, it's me!

Flipper?

Flipper!

Flipper!

Flipper, where are you?

Flipper, where are you?

Dad,Sandy!

Dad,Dad!

Flipper, why did you have to go away?

- Oh, thanks, Sandy.

- Dad, Sandy!

Dad,Dad!

- Dad, did you hear anything?

- No.

I think we're a little edgy about Bud.

He's been gone nearly an hour.

- You don't suppose something

could've happened to him, do you?

- Well, nothing could happen to him

if he stayed on the beach.

Maybe we oughta take a look around.

- Flipper, please come back.

Flipper, please.

Flipper, please come back.

Please?

- Okay, all right, okay, I'm coming!

Hey, why you keep bark
for Luigi to come, huh?

Oh,?

Signor Dolphin, get closer.

Is something is wrong?

Oh, Danny, you think what Luigi think?

The dolphin is want to get out.

All right, all right,
you like to go, you go.

Okay-

But please, please, you not think of Luigi

as one selfish old man for keep you here.

It's only because Senore Dolphin

is such a good company for Danny and me.

Yeah, you go!

You betcha, we understand, si!

Hey, Danny, he's act like you act

when you want me to come with you.

Si, si.

Okay, fella, we come!

You betcha we do.

' Dad!

It's possible Bud went for a swim

and came out of the water
somewhere up the beach

and forgot about his shoes.

You know how forgetful Bud is.

- Feeling the way he did,

I should have never let
him come out here alone.

- You want me to stay around
here and look for him?

- No, I'll need you with me.

If he's on the beach,
he's probably all right,

but if he's in the
water, I might need help.

We'll take the launch,
and if we can't find him,

then we'll call the Coast Guard, come on.

- Dad, look, there's Flipper!

- Flipper.

- Flipper, we're so glad to see you.

We've been looking everywhere for you.

- Where you been, you all right, boy?

- Hey, Danny, this is why
he wanted to leave us.

You know this dolphin, huh?

- He's my pet.

My brother, Bud's and mine.

- I'm Porter Ricks.

I'm the ranger at Coral Key Park.

- Buonjourno.

- Where'd you find Flipper?

- Flipper?
- The dolphin.

- Oh, Signor Dolphin is name is Flipper.

Hey, this is a good name, Flipper!

Hey, I tell you, this brave fella,

he save my Danny in a big fight

up in Point Horizon, where I got my shack.

Oh, he's hurt bad.

We do what we can for him.

He's stay with us while
he gets better, eh?

Oh, we wish he would
stay with us for good,

but a few while ago, he
start to act strange.

Excited.

Eh, come si?

Like something is bother him.

- Maybe he sensed that
Bud was in trouble, Dad.

He's done that before.

- Your brother, he's in trouble?

- Bud, Bud's his brother, he
strayed away about an hour ago.

Flipper, do you know where Bud is?

Flipper, take us to Bud!

Show us where Bud is!

- Hey, what's going on here, huh?

Hey, Danny, hey, what I do?

The dolphin, he's go, the people is go.

Hey, hey, what I do, huh?

- Dad, please, hurry, Dad.

Flipper?

Flipper!

Flipper, in here!

Flipper, I knew you'd come for me!

- There he is!

- Hold the launch right here, Sandy.

Bud, Bud, are you all right?

- I'm all right, Dad,

now that Flipper's come back.

- Thanks, Flipper.

- What I can't figure out is

what would Flipper be doing
as far north as Point Horizon?

Can you figure that out, Sandy?

- Beats me.

- Here, Bud, drink this.

- Hey, young fella,

maybe we're not supposed to figure, huh?

Luigi, he like to believe
that some power much bigger

than us bring him to me to
save my Danny, you betcha.

- You remember, he saved
Dave Ellering, too.

- And I know that's what
brought him back to me.

- Well, is time to go home.

Say arrivederci, Danny.

- Look, he doesn't want to leave.

- Hey, Danny, what's the matter you?

You my family!

Luigi got nobody but you.

Ah, he no understand why
Flipper not go home with us.

He's such a good friend.

Yeah.

- I know just how he feels.

It's about the worst thing in the world

to lose your best friend.

- Well, Danny won't be
losing Flipper, Bud.

Point Horizon's not that far.

And Luigi can bring Danny down to visit.

- Grazie, Signor Ranger, we will do that.

Hey, young fella, you keep
yourself out of trouble, huh?

You listen to your papa.

Good bye.

- Goodbye, Luigi!
- Bye!

- Adios, Signor Flipper, maybe my Danny,

he help us to see you by getting
into trouble once more, eh?
