Flipper (1964–1967): Season 2, Episode 8 - The Ditching: Part 2 - full transcript
While the plane's crew continue to try to get Sandy out from under the large crate that has him pinned, a county-wide search and rescue is on but the plane is like a pea in a great big ocean. Can Flipper help?
- Trapped in a
plane which has been forced
to ditch in the Atlantic,
Flipper's and Sandy's plight
at the moment seems hopeless.
- Len, Len!
Sandy?
Sandy?
Sandy!
- I'm here.
- Are you hurt kid?
- Not too bad.
I'm pinned, I can't get out.
- I can't do it alone.
- How's Flipper?
- He's okay.
Look you hang on, I'll try
and get some help from Len.
♫ 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
- Okay Coast Guard has
sector six, 11, and 21.
Usual search patterns, we'll
stay on this channel out.
- By now their gas is gone,
unless they found an island,
they're downed in the ocean.
- How you doing Len?
- I'll live, how's the boy?
- He isn't hurt, but he's pinned under
one of those heavy machinery crates.
- Oh no.
- We better get out of here
while the getting's good.
- Sandy!
- I'm okay.
We can't budge it.
- Len.
Plane's filling up real quick.
You better check outside right now.
- It's a plane.
They'll see us.
- Let's hope so.
How you doing boy?
- I'm okay I guess.
- Help he!!!
Hey!
- The tide's rising fast.
Here kid.
Thatta boy.
- Quiet Flipper.
Look at all the nice water
we've got in here just for you.
- How does she sit Len?
- A big wave or a loud
cough and this crate
could slide into deep water.
- Great.
- Quite a boy there that Sandy.
If I were in his shoes,
I'd be yelling my head off.
Come on Len.
- Let's try it again.
- It's all right Sandy, here boy.
That's it Len, that's it.
- It's no use.
Why don't both of you get out of here?
- Sandy, do you really
think we'd leave you here?
- You're gonna have to sooner or later.
Please, you can't do me any good anyway.
- Nope, we're going to
stay right here with you.
Len, why don't you go?
- No, it's too lonely out there.
- Hey I've got an idea.
If they can't find us, we can find them.
- You make it sound pretty easy, boy.
- It may be for Flipper.
- But...
You mean the dolphin?
- Sure, if you'll turn him loose.
- What a crazy idea.
- It's worth a try.
- Yeah maybe it is.
What do we have to lose?
- Let's turn him loose.
- Hold on, hold onto the rope Sandy.
- Flipper, we need help.
Go find someone and
bring them back, hurry.
- Just slip out of there, Flipper.
- Go Flipper, get out of the plane,
go, go after them, get help!
- Go on Flipper!
Go on boy, bring back some help.
You're our only hope.
- Anything?
- Nothing.
Let me have the wheel.
- Porter, if it did go
down would it float?
- Well that depends.
It can, but not for long.
Coast Guard Miami this is WD9598 over.
- WD9598, this
is Coast Guard Miami over.
- Coast Guard, negative report
on missing plane in our area.
Do you have anything new over.
- Negative, from all areas
in the search pattern over.
- All right Coast Guard, we'll
continue the search, out.
Roger and out.
Nothing, they've covered
almost the entire search area.
- Maybe the plane is
not in the search area.
- Maybe, but that leaves
an awful lot of ocean.
' Hey POP, look!
- A dolphin, so what.
- Yeah but look at it!
He's heading towards us
like a torpedo gone loco.
- Torpedo gone loco, you have
an imagination like your mother.
- Pop I ain't kidding, if he don't stop
he's gonna smash right into us.
- Not him, dolphins are too smart huh?
- oh yeah?
Pop, hey you big clown, get out of here!
- Huh, now I've seen everything.
This one can walk on water.
- Maybe it escaped from a sea circus.
- Hey, a walking talking dolphin.
Not even your mother
dreamed up one like that.
- But maybe there's
something we should do.
' Do?
I'll tell you what to do.
Chase him away before he scares
all the fish out of the ocean.
- Hey go on, go on beat it, go on!
Get out of here loco!
- So I'd say you're gonna be okay.
- Nothing in sight.
- Flipper may be having trouble
finding somebody, but he'll come back.
- He better make it soon.
- Hey Pop look, come here.
- Oh it's the ranger from Coral Key.
Hey what you doing out here Mr. Ranger?
Wanted to see if there
was any fishing huh?
- No I'm looking for a
plane that crashed at sea.
You haven't seen it have you?
- No.
Downed plane?
Oh it's bad, real bad.
- Mr. Ricks's son, Sandy,
he was aboard the plane.
- Well keep an eye out for him will ya?
- We'll do that Mr.
Ranger, we'll sure do that.
- Let me try something.
- Good idea.
- All right, knock it off Len.
We're not doing any good.
- And that's okay.
When help comes, they'll
get me out of here.
- That's right kid.
When help comes, they'll
get you out of here.
You just hang on to me, that a boy.
- Hey Pop, the nutty dolphin is back.
- Get rid of him, shoot
him if you have to.
I don't want him fouling up the nets.
- Hey Pop, Pop, what's
that he's got on his nose?
- Will you get rid of him?
We've got too much work to do.
' Hey Pop look!
- Oceanic Airways.
Bring those nets back in.
- What are we gonna do?
- Call the Coast Guard and the ranger.
Then if they say what I
think they're going to say,
we're going to follow that
sent from heaven dolphin.
- There it is Pop!
- And I called him el loco dolphin.
I should be so loco.
- Come on let's get going!
- Are you ready Pop?
- Yes Paco, lower the chain.
Okay take it away!
- Now you tell me when you're loose.
- I'm free, I'm free.
- Hold it!
Come on Sandy let's go.
- You okay son?
- I'm all right.
- You would never believe this,
but the way we found out about you,
a dolphin came and told
us you were in trouble.
- We believe you all right.
- Are you sure you're all right Sandy?
- Sure, I hope you weren't too worried.
- Well I was a little,
but I had confidence
in Len and Mac, and you.
- And Flipper?
- And Flipper.
- Chaperoned by a boy and a dolphin,
the story of my life.
