Flipper (1964–1967): Season 2, Episode 26 - Flipper Joins the Navy: Part 2 - full transcript
It seems everybody is out looking for the Million Dollar dolphin who got away while he was visiting the Ricks recovering from a nervous breakdown.
- Flipper, if you couldn't find Tough Guy,
I guess he's gone for good.
- Good morning, Ulla.
- Good morning, Commander.
- Oh, Dad, there's the
guy whose dolphin we lost.
- Yeah, a dolphin worth
a half a million dollars
to the United States Navy.
♫ 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
- Well, we've been searching since sunrise
for some trace of Tough Guy or
that yellow float he was trailing.
- We searched in all
the places where Flipper
usually goes, but he's not there.
- Ulla, you're sure that Tough Guy
showed signs of recovery?
- Absolutely certain of it.
- Then he's too valuable to lose.
We've got to find him.
- But how are we gonna
find him when Flipper
can't even find him?
- Son, the Navy has a
fair amount of know-how
that even Flipper doesn't have.
- You know, even if you do find Tough Guy,
you might have a hard time capturing him.
- We have the answer to that, too.
A certain kind of gun.
- A gun?
Wouldn't that?
- Oh, it's a tranquilizer gun, Bud.
It shoots harmless tranquilizing darts.
And if we find him, we'll get him.
- Then let's get organized.
- Don't worry, son, we'll find him.
- Flipper, what's the Navy
got that you haven't got?
- Helicopter to command.
Helicopter to command.
- Go ahead, Ulla.
- We've flown this lake 10 times.
Nothing.
- Extend your search pattern north along
the coast two miles.
I'll send the cutter south.
Understand?
- Understand. Out.
- Command at WD9598.
Come in WD9598.
Over.
- This is WD9598.
Go ahead, please.
- Report. Over.
- Negative.
And I just passed my son Bud on the skiff.
Nothing from him, either.
I have enough gasoline for about one
more hour of cruising.
Over.
- Stay out there as long as you can.
I've sent the copter outside that park.
Over.
- Roger.
WD9598 standing by.
- This is command standing by.
- We better start back, Flipper.
It must be about noon time.
No, it can't be that late.
Tide's coming in.
And the reef's almost covered.
Now I wish Sandy didn't
go to that camp-out.
I wouldn't want to tell 'em,
but we sure could use his
help, don't you think?
I tell you what.
Let's take one more quick trip, okay?
- Tough Guy!
Tough GUY!
Tough Guy, come back!
Come back!
- Helicopter to command.
Come in, command.
- This is command, come in helicopter.
- Sighted Tough Guy and fired dart.
Only partially tranquilized him.
He got away.
- Continue to search the area.
In a weakened condition he could drown.
I'll send the cutter to help you.
We've got to get to him quick.
Stand by.
Try to get the cutter.
- Yes, sir.
- Flipper!
Flipper you come right
back here right now!
- Any word on the cutter?
- No, but Ulla almost got Tough Guy.
I'm having them search the same area.
Chances are he's probably there.
How about you, Bud?
Flipper and I haven't seen a thing.
- Well, I'll tell you what we'll do.
You stow the skiff, then we'll have lunch
and gas up the launch and take off again.
Come on, get going.
- Well, if you have to refuel, come on in.
- Roger and out.
- Command out.
Must be Porter's boat.
Call me the minute anything comes in.
- Yes, sir.
.Dad?
- Yes, Bud?
- What's gonna happen if
we don't find Tough Guy?
- Well, I don't know, Bud.
We can't give up trying.
- The copter's coming in to refuel.
You'll have to search their area.
- All right, we're ready.
- No, Porter, look!
It's Tough Guy with the float.
- No, sir, that's not Tough Guy.
That's Flipper with the float.
- He's right, that is Flipper.
It looks, it looks like
he's got Tough Guy with him!
- What's going on here?
- Tough Guy's out there.
Come on, Porter, let's go.
- All right.
- Well, wait a minute.
The tranquilizers have worn off now.
I have to get the gun.
- Bud, you'll scare 'em off.
- No, sir, this brings Flipper back in.
- Now wait a minute, wait a minute.
If Flipper brought Tough Guy this far,
let's wait and see.
Maybe he'll bring him in all the way.
- Okay, go ahead.
- Flipper brought him all the way in.
Well, I guess the best
tranquilizer is affection.
I wonder if Tough Guy
feels like himself again.
- Oh, I certainly hope so.
But we'll know for sure only if he's
willing to go back to work.
- If he does this, he's
back as good as ever.
- You mean just to fetch a ball?
Flipper can do that.
- No, I throw all three into the water.
You see, a month ago when
I said, get the ball,
he'd get it.
And he'd bring whatever I named.
Let's see now.
Tough Guy, get the hat.
The hat.
The stick, Tough Guy, now get the stick.
The stick.
Now we'll just try him on the ball,
but speak clearly.
. Okay-
Tough Guy, get the ball!
