Flipper (1964–1967): Season 2, Episode 30 - Dolphin Love: Part 2 - full transcript
Flipper is very upset at his girlfriend's injury and races to save her life. But he'll need the Rick's help to do it.
- Is she gonna live Doctor?
- It's hard to say Bud.
We don't know yet whether
the spear got a vital organ.
♫ 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
- Hemostat.
Any idea who did this?
- No, I don't Doctor.
Swimming in the ocean,
and I think with Flipper,
she was speared all right.
I got the shaft of the spear out,
but I can't tell anything from that.
- Yeah well, it's a shame.
Hemostat.
Anybody who'd wound an
animal like this and run away
deserves to be severely punished.
- Boy, would I like to
get my hands on him.
- Me too.
Flipper, he's just beside himself.
You know uh, this is Flipper's girlfriend.
- Makes her like one of
the family, doesn't it?
- No, not really.
Well, I guess it does at that.
- That's got it.
- Wait a minute, let me wash it off.
- I don't think we got
anything vital, suture.
The rest is gonna be up to her.
- How long to you think
it'll be before you know Doc?
- If she can make it
through the next few hours,
she's got a good chance.
Why don't you give me a ring tonight?
- All right Doctor, I will.
Thank you very much.
All right boys, let's go.
- Dad, how we gonna
make Flipper understand?
He thinks she's coming back with us.
- Well Bud, you're his best friend,
and then, well, in times like this,
that's when best friends
are really needed.
I'm sure you can make
him understand, go on.
- Dad, I think Bud feels guilty,
'cause he was jealous of Flipper's friend.
- Yeah well, that's just one more reason
why he should talk to Flipper.
It'll make him feel better
getting it off his chest.
- I guess so.
- Hi Flipper.
Hope you're not mad at me.
You know you've got a right to be.
I acted like a little kid about
you and that girl dolphin.
I'm not a little kid anymore.
You know, when you grow up,
well, I guess everyone's
gonna wanna have a girlfriend.
Maybe even me,
but when I do and if I do,
we can still be best friends, can't we?
You know Flipper,
Doctors said these next few hours
are gonna be the most important.
Flipper, if she gets well,
I'll be a better friend to both of you.
Don't worry, I'll see you later, okay?
- All set?
- Yeah, you know, Flipper's awful unhappy,
but I think it makes him feel better
to know that we're here
to share it with him.
- Okay Bud, get the bow line.
Sandy, get the stern.
- Hey Dad, Bud, look!
- Wow, look at him go.
- Water Skiing Club Tournament, Dad.
I'd forgotten all about it.
- Dad, can we go watch, please?
- Bud, I'd like to, but uh,
got an awful lot of work to do at home.
- Well Dad, just for a few minutes.
It might help cheer up
Flipper a little bit.
- All right Bud, just for a few minutes.
- You see that Flipper?
Isn't she great?
- Hey, Ted Marlowe's going up next.
' Who?
- Ted Marlowe, he's in my school.
He won the skiing event at
the school carnival last year.
- Well, he's using a turnaround board,
and he's as good as you say he is,
Bud, watch this.
- Watch this Flipper.
Flipper?
- Come on Ted, show 'em!
- Flipper!
- Hey, go away, cut it out, will ya!
Hey, go away, cut it out!
- Sandy, get the ladder, get the ladder.
- Ted, are you all right?
- Yeah, that was a cute trick.
Did you put Flipper up to it?
- No Ted, we didn't, honest.
- Well, you oughta have
that dolphin penned up.
He could've killed me.
"Ted!
- Flipper's not himself.
He's never done anything like this before.
- He's gone loco!
- Ted, tell them.
- Tell us what Rita?
- Well, why Flipper's
acting the way he is.
- How would I know?
- You know, all right.
Tell them, or I will.
- Okay, I guess I do know.
This morning we were, we
were diving in the park,
and I saw these two sharks.
At least I thought they were two sharks,
so I speared one of them,
and it turned out to be a
dolphin swimming with Flipper.
Really Mr. Ricks, I didn't mean to do it.
- So, you were the one who did it, huh?
Boy, I oughta... .
- Sandy, now wait a minute Sandy.
Now Ted, if it happened just
the way you said it did.
If it was an honest mistake.
- Oh, it was Mr. Ricks.
- Then why didn't you
try and save the dolphin,
or why didn't you report to me?
- I was afraid I'd be charged
with spearfishing in the park.
- Well, you're gonna be charged all right,
but we'll talk about that later.
Thanks to Flipper, we
found the wounded dolphin.
We took her to The Seaquarium,
and they're trying to
save her life right now.
- All right, easy now, easy.
All right, let's go, get it in, get it in.
Take it easy.
Sandy, you get in and help him.
She's still very weak.
- She's gotta be all right.
- Easy, drop it down.
Get it down.
All right, let it in.
She's still not herself.
There she goes.
- Yippee, she's all right!
- Aren't they beautiful?
To think I almost ruined it all.
I'm ready for my punishment Mr. Ricks.
- Well, let's see, you're an expert diver,
a very good swimmer.
I think we could use him
around here, don't you?
Like ah, a couple ours a day
after school for about a month.
- Thanks Mr. Ricks.
You're letting me off pretty easy.
I hope you guys don't hold
it against me too much.
- No, now that
all the trouble's over,
I guess we oughta be friends, huh?
- Me too, as long as Flipper's happy.
