Original subtitles

- Hurricane Betsy roared through southern Florida,

leaving in her wake a tragic aftermath of destruction.

The fierce winds without regard for life or property

tossed boats and automobiles

about as though they were matchsticks.

But we here in Florida are old hands at weathering storms

and in the matter of hours after the winds died down,

we were busy with operation cleanup and restoration.

We all had our jobs to do.

While I inspected the storm damage,

the boys helped with rescue operations.

Even Flipper pitched in by doing some inspecting of his own.

And in no time at all, things were back to normal.

Or so we thought.

I was assisting Ulla in her underwater research

when we came upon an unexpected problem

left to us by Hurricane Betsy.

- Where did they come from?

- I don't know.

We usually get an invasion of sharks now and then,

mostly after a storm.

- But what do we do about it?

- There's nothing much we can do.

Except post the shark warning signs

and try to keep everybody out of the water.

- Thanks, Flipper.

- Thanks, Flipper.

All right, let's go.

? 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 Bud, tell big brother.

- What?

- Well you're not eating your breakfast,

so something must be eating you.

- Very funny.

- Well what is it?

- Nothing, really, nothing.

I heard that Edison once flunked a course in science.

- Thomas Edison?

- No, no, Bill Edison.

You know, the man that runs the bank

on the other side of town?

He's an important man.

- So that's what's bothering you, huh?

You're gonna flunk science?

- Dad'll murder me.

It was his major in college, remember?

- Maybe if you took a blood oath or something,

that you'd study harder.

- No, no, it's too late for that.

Miss Pratt's making out the report card tomorrow.

There's just one chance, maybe if I came up

with something special like...

- Like a term paper?

- No, no, no.

Something unusual,

that the kids in the class don't know about.

Like those big worms we saw on the beach the other day.

Remember those big long ones?

- Bud, if you take some of those big worms to Miss Pratt,

she's not only gonna flunk you,she'll expel you!

- I'll get Flipper to help and I'll find something.

- Look we've got an hour before school, I'll help you.

- Gee thanks, Sandy!

' Sandy?

Bud?

- Oh they must've left early.

- Yeah, and that's the problem.

Look at that table!

Now those guys know they're supposed to wash

their dishes before they leave the house.

- Perhaps there's something more important to do.

- Well what's more important than obeying orders?

- Oh you were a little boy once, remember?

Or were you?

- Now what's that supposed to mean?

- Well sometimes I think you're too strict with them.

- Now look, Ulla,

sometimes I have to be strict with them.

- You're right.

You're doing a fine job and I should not interfere.

- Well I wouldn't mind a little interference

from you once in a while.

- All right, I interfere right now

by doing the dishes while you get the warning signs, okay?

- All right.

- Hey you there!

There are sharks out there, great big ones!

- Well, just a couple more.

I want to get 'em all posted before

the school children break for lunch.

- Oh thank goodness they are in school.

- All right, let's go.

Hi Flipper!

Flipper, I'm busy now.

You'll have to wait till the boys get out of school.

- We can't play now, Flipper.

Some other time.

- I'm gonna get the rest of the signs

posted over by the entrance.

Don't want anybody coming into the park.

- Flipper!

Hold on, Bud.

Flipper!

Flipper!

Thanks a lot, fellas.

So long.

Sorry, Flipper, not now.

- Ah, we gotta study.

- Sandy, Bud.

' Hi, Dad.

- I hate to interrupt this rare moment of study,

but I ran into Miss Pratt when I was in town

and she said you were both late for school this morning.

- Well Bud bumped his head.

- Yeah, see?

It's nothing serious though, Dad.

- I see.

- What else did Miss Pratt say?

- Well, Bud...

She said you passed all our subjects.

- Even in science?

- Well let's say you just squeaked by in science.

Now Bud, I can't understand it.

That was my favorite subject in school.

- Dad, I promise I'll study much harder.

I promise!

- Well that's fine, Bud.

But it takes more than reading a textbook

to get to know your subject thoroughly.

And especially with the wonderful

opportunity you boys have here.

- What do you mean, Dad?

- Well there's hundreds of interesting things

right in front of your own door.

You could go out and collect an interesting specimen

and take it to class and study it.

I know Miss Pratt would be impressed

and well, you'd get to know the park better too.

- Sounds okay to me.

- Yeah, sounds like a great idea.

- Sandy, you'll help, won't you?

And I will too, Bud.

As soon as we get these sharks cleared out of here,

we'll make this a family project.

Now let's see if we can get that science mark

moved up to an A next year, okay?

- Okay.

- Flipper, for the first time,

I don't think you know what you're talking about.

? Everyone loves the king of the sea

? Ever so kind and gentle is he

? Tricks he will do when children are near

? And how they laugh when he's near

? 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
