♫ 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
- Here you go, Sandy.
- Pipeline okay?
- Yeah, it's all right.
I only found a couple weak spots.
They'll hold, but we should
get at 'em sooner or later.
What happened to Flipper?
I thought he'd be down to help me.
- I don't know, he took off
just after you went down.
- Huh.
Well, let's get going.
- Hey, Dad, there's Flipper.
- Now, wait a minute, there's Flipper.
- Hey, Dad, it looks like
Flipper's found a girlfriend, huh?
- It sure looks that way.
Reminds me of my number one son.
- Hiya, Bud.
- What's the matter,
Bud, can't you say hello
to your father and your brother anymore?
- Hi, Dad, hi, Sandy.
Dad, something's the matter with Flipper.
I've called him and I've called
him, but he doesn't come.
He's been gone for two whole days.
- Bud, maybe Flipper's
got other things to do
besides playing with you.
- Like what?
- Well, Bud, look,
Flipper is very much a
member of our family,
but you must realize he
has his own life to lead.
- That's no reason why he
shouldn't come when I call him.
- Well, Bud, you don't spend
all your time with Flipper.
Why should he spend all his time with you?
- Sandy, I go to school, that's different.
Flipper doesn't have to.
Something's happened.
- Mm-hm, the thing that's happened is
that Flipper's become
interested in a new dolphin.
- Interested?
- Right, a girl dolphin.
- A...
- Sandy, why don't you,
uh, explain it to him, huh?
- So, explain, come on.
- Well, Bud, you've just gotta face it.
Flipper would rather be
with her than with you.
- But Sandy, I'd rather be with Flipper
than anyone in the whole world.
- That's because you've never
been in love with anybody.
- In love, now what does
that got to do with it?
- Bud, it's just something
you'll have to come to
when you're older.
Right now...
Well, I can't describe it to you, Bud.
- Flipper!
Flipper!
Flipper!
Flipper, where have you been?
Flipper, she's beautiful!
Flipper, you know something,
I don't mind if you have a girlfriend,
but you'll have to come home now.
'Cause you see, I need you, too.
Okay?
Flipper!
Flipper, you come back here, come back!
- You know, I've never seen
anything more beautiful
than that coral down there.
- Shark!
I'll take care of 'em.
- Ted, wait, we're inside the park.
You can't use that spear-gun.
- Well, they're only sharks.
Watch this for some fancy shooting.
- Those are dolphins, not sharks.
And that's Flipper.
You've wounded the other one!
- How was I to know?
- We'd better call Ranger Ricks.
That dolphin might be saved.
- Yeah, but I'll get arrested
for spearfishing in the park.
Sit down, we'd better get outta here.
- Will you cut it out, Flipper?
Cut it out, Flipper.
All right.
- Bud, what's the matter?
- What's bothering him?
- I don't know, Dad.
- Well, I know, something's wrong.
- It sure looks like it.
All right, let's follow him, come on.
- Dad, look.
Over there on the shore.
I can't make it out,
but it looks, it looks like a dolphin!
- It's a dolphin, all right,
and it's been speared!
- Dad, it must be Flipper's friend!
- This doesn't look good at all.
- Is she gonna live, Dad?
- She's very weak, Bud, very weak.
We've gotta get her to a vet, and fast.
Trouble is, I can't move
her with a spear in her.
I'm gonna try and separate
the barb from the shaft.
Sandy, get the cover from the boat.
Hurry now.
- Poor Flipper, he must
love her very much.
- All right, easy does it, easy does it.
All right, easy now, be careful.
Easy.
All right, Bud, get in the boat.
I'll duck down, you pull up.
Lay her right there.
Down, down!
- As the launch speeds away
with the wounded dolphin,
Porter and the boys say a silent prayer
for Flipper's friend.
