Got some great new bugs.

Wanna see them?

Maybe later, Rob.

Are we there yet?

Seven Bay Island, right up ahead.

Please, God, let him have a different
kind of beer. Please.

How was the trip? Great. Oh, Susie,
Susie, I'm done.

Wait a minute.

What's the matter with my telescope?

Sorry, Grandfather. Need more power.

Oh, oh.

Where's Mr. Rochester and Ed? Well, I
didn't think we could get in the car

with you all.

But they're waiting for you at home,
Rob.

There you are. Put them in, put them in,
put them in. All right, all right. All

right, everybody aboard.

Where's Vicki?

She's daydreaming again.

Vicki.

All right.

It's so good to have you here, honey.

Your carriage awaits.

Sorry.

Grandfather, what is this? That is my
spare roof. Now you better put it up

because we may have some rain.

veritable smorgasbord.

Has anyone called?

She means, has Zachary Gray called?

Do not.

Ned?

Mr. Rochester?

Hey!

There you guys are.

Since when did Mr. Rochester and Ned
become such good friends? Well, they're

getting older, Susie, and I think they
decided it was silly wasting all that

valuable energy fighting all the time.

Hi, Mom.

Yeah, the trip was great. The island's
as beautiful as ever.

I haven't.

Mom, I haven't had time.

I know.

I know it is.

Mom, I promise.

I will. Okay. Look, Mom, Rob's begging
to talk.

I love you.

Bye.

Rob, your turn.

I had so much fun. It was great.

Yeah. Oh my gosh, I caught two
centipedes. It was like four inches

It was on the boat.

The storm has passed. I thought I'd set
this up for Susan.

The rain crossed Susie's schedule.

She has a calendar.

No kidding. And it's marked off with
everything she wants to accomplish this

summer. That's very admirable.

I'm not even sure what I want to do
tomorrow, let alone the rest of summer.

That's admirable, too.

Principles of physics?

A little light reading before bed?

I promised Mom and Dad.

There's this new exceptional school at
their university.

So anyway, they tested me.

I hate the English, but the math and
science...

Vicki, I've got a present for you.

Come on.

My poems.

I thought they were too beautiful to
stay in those envelopes you sent me.

Do you like it?

I love it.

It makes me feel like... Like a poet?

Have you shown these to anybody besides
me?

Why not?

Well, I used to show Mom, and she was
like, they're nice.

And so now, I don't know, they're
probably terrible.

They're not terrible. They're good.

They're honest and funny. A little pain
along the way.

You know, anybody that thinks that
growing up is easy obviously doesn't

it.

I love my cousin.

Are you okay? Yes, yes, fine, fine,
fine, fine.

It's my back.

Your luggage was rather heavy.

Good night, Lisa.

Good night, Grandfather.

And I'm looking forward to volume two.

Clear skies and a whole moon.

Perfect.

Has anybody seen my bugs?

Well, what have we here?

Hello, I'm Adam.

You must be Vicki.

And, uh, you must be Susie.

And how do you know that?

Well, your grandfather told me all about
you guys.

I'm just here to return his books.

Lao Tzu, you're reading philosophy?

Yeah. Your grandfather has the best
library on the island.

So I hear you're quite a scientist.

I'm working on a long -term project so I
can apply for early admission to MIT in

two years.

That's amazing. What is it?

Astrophysics. I'm trying to graph the
weight of a number of stars by analyzing

their light and the way it interacts
with our atmosphere.

How about you? I have an early admission
to Harvard starting this fall.

Hmm. That's pretty tough.

What's your field of study?

Marine biology.

I'm actually working at the Marine
Center. We're doing research on dolphin

communication. Dolphins? I love
dolphins.

Although, I've never met one personally.

Yeah, I know. They're amazing.

We're studying their differences in
echolocation, which is the ultrasonic

impulse that... I know what echolocation
is.

Oh, great. Well, I'm headed there right
now if you'd like to come.

Oh, and you can come too if you want.

Okay, sure.

I'll, uh, go ask Grandfather.

Right now, we have a control group of
dolphins, raised in captivity for

generations. And another group of wild
dolphins.

And we're studying their sonic patterns,
and what we're finding out is that...

Look. Here comes Prince Stinksy,
charming.

Vicki Austin.

The girl from last summer.

Zachary Gray.

The guy who never returns letters.

Oh, you're not going to hold a grudge,
are you?

Look, besides, my letters are always
boring compared to yours.

You want to go for a ride?

I've got an appointment.

With who?

A dolphin.

All right.

Come on.

There you go. Wow.

Did you know that according to the laws
of hydrodynamics, it's impossible for a

dolphin to swim as fast as it does?

Get it, NeNe.

Scientists think it has something to do
with their skin, which actually ripples

with the movement of the water. It also
sheds a lot faster than us.

Go ahead.

Grab a fish.

Toss it to them.

No way.

But the most fascinating thing is that
dolphins were once land animals,

like other creatures.

But... They're still mammals.

Yes. Yes, they're mammals. They're not
fish.

They were actually small whales who left
the land sometime in prehistory and

returned to the sea. As far as I know,
whales and dolphins are the only

creatures to ever do that.

Mermaids.

Mermaids. You know, half land creature,
half sea creature. Vicki, that's

ridiculous.

Well, actually, I've read theories that
ancient mariners mistook dolphins and

porpoises for mermaids. That's probably
how the myth came to be.

It wasn't a myth to them.

They weren't sea for years. They needed
to be mermaids.

So, uh, where's your recording
equipment?

Oh, it's over here. Let me show you.

You see, we have a Q1027 hard drive. It
records all the dolphin sounds we see.

Then we digitally process them and...
Hey, this one's not eating. Oh, yeah,

that's, uh, that's Enid.

She's one of our wild dolphins.

What's the matter, Vicki?

She's worried about her calf.

How did you know she was pregnant?

I... I don't know.

I guess she just looks pregnant.

All right.

You'll never get into the university
school that way.

What a tragedy.

So, what do you think about Adam?

Why?

Just curious.

Not crazy about his research.

When you deal with nature, there's too
many intangibles.

I'll take numbers, thank you.

But you study stars.

Don't you consider them part of, you
know, nature?

Hello, Enid.

Are you feeling better?

You can tell them apart already?

Sure.

So, uh, what are you doing here? Where's
your sister?

She's not here. Do you want me to go?

No. Actually, I got a lot of work to do.
I could use the help. Come on.

Oh, Vicki. This is Dr. Zan.

Dr. Zan, this is Vicki, Reverend Eaton's
granddaughter.

Nice to meet you.

Hi.

How's your grandfather doing?

He's fine, thanks.

All righty. Here you go. This should
fit.

We're off to the bay to try out the
echolocator. Good luck.

All righty.

Go.

Dr. Sand has recorded hundreds of hours
of dolphins.

We're trying to figure out if they're
speaking some sort of a language, like

ours, or if their communication is just,
you know, instinctive, like ants.

Ants never seem like they're having a
lot of fun. Yeah, you're right.

Dolphins do seem to have fun.

Almost a sense of humor, which is a sign
of intelligence.

That box puts out a series of ultrasonic
impulse, kind of like a dolphin's call.

We've trained Basil to come to it in the
pen, but never in open water.

Basil?

Did you say Basil?

Yeah.

That's Eden's mate.

See, by holding Eden in the pens, we can
release Basil to your mobile phone.

Dr. Zane wants to make sure that we can
call on him when it's time for him to

deliver her calf.

What's that?

Hey, that's him. It worked.

Whoa, beautiful.

Wow.

Now, be careful with this one, Vicki,
all right? He's a little wilder than the

ones in the pen. He can be snatched.

Can you blame him? You've got his voice
locked up in jail.

Whoa.

You're petting him.

He wants me to. He's got an itch under
his fin.

How did you know that?

I don't know it. He just seems like it.

Wow, I've never seen this friendly.

Wait a second, what's this?

Got a fresh scar.

Hard.

Sharp.

Bayweed. Huh?

Oh, uh, nothing.

But this is the neck, Ash. I gotta get
back.

Now Basil has the same scar. That's the
third one in the last week.

Look, it's the drift nets, and the Marie
Rose is the only one big enough to use

them. What do you want me to do about
it, Adam?

Well, we've got to do something. I mean,
they're illegal.

How are you so sure? It's the Marie
Rose.

Look, every captain on this island is
complaining about the lousy catch this

summer, and every couple of days, the
Marie Rose comes back overflowing with

fish. It's got to be that. That's not
enough, Adam.

I'm sorry. I hate drift nets, too.
Believe me.

But we're a research center, not the
police.

There's nothing we can do.

nail polish.

See? After they're dead, you put this
stuff on them, and it preserves them.

He's from the order Coleoptera.

I'm having a contest with a kid at
school.

We're seeing reasons like the most by
the end of summer.

Why can't you just collect baseball
cards like everybody else?

Oh, man, that guy's nuts.

Sure is.

I should be a lot of things. I wrote you
a lot and didn't even get a Christmas

card. That kind of hurts, Zachary.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I was busy.

Getting thrown out of various
prestigious private schools.

See, they, uh, they got this whole thing
about, like, passing grades.

It's really annoying.

That and, uh, my mother died.

That's not funny.

I know.

Oh, my God. You're serious?

Last October.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, me too.

So, hey, forget the kiss.

Can I at least have a hug?

I missed you, Vic.

Dad'll do anything not to talk about it,
so instead,

he sent me to a grief counselor.

On the sixth visit, she came to the
brilliant conclusion that I was deeply

because my mother had died.

I said, wow, they pay you for this?

But hey, look, it's boring talking about
me. I want to hear about you. What have

you been doing with yourself since last
summer?

I don't know.

Last summer's starting to seem like a
thousand years ago.

Well, I'm glad you're back.

I'm taking flying lessons, you know.

From this guy with the plane on the
other side of the island.

Really? Flying?

That's incredible.

How about I take you up?

My parents are not going to let me fly
in a plane with you at the wheel.

You know, Vicki, that's the one problem
with you.

You don't dare to do the things you know
you want to.

What? Rob?

and talk the last couple of days. Is
something on your mind?

I guess.

Vicki!

Welcome back.

Hi, Harvard Master.

Good. Reverend.

Now, it's good to see you out and about.

Doing okay?

Splendid. Splendid, Dan. Thank you.
Thank you.

Any chance that you care to tell me what
it is?

Grandfather... Would you think I was
crazy if I told you?

I think I know what Adam's dolphins are
thinking.

Feeling.

Like they're talking to me.

Only they're not.

And I knew Bob was in trouble.

And it wasn't actual words or anything.

It was just a feeling.

In my mind.

And in, like, my heart.

Basil wanted to tell me he was rescuing
Rob.

And the other day at the Marine Research
Center, I knew Enid was worried about

her baby.

I'm not making this up.

Oh, I believe you.

Oh, I believe it. Oh, I... You know,
Vicki, people have so many different

ways of hearing things. Your
grandmother, Karen, when your mother was

She heard the baby cry before the baby
cried.

Oh, Karen, she was sensitive in so many
wonderful ways.

But why me?

Well, you've got some of her genes, and
maybe the dolphins

trust you.

Maybe it's because you're a poet,
whatever it is.

Darling.

Take it as a compliment.

Come on, let's go.

Grandfather, why is everyone asking you
how you're feeling?

Darling, when you're 81, people will
amaze that you're walking, talking, and

taking nourishment. Come on, let's go.

It's just so weird.

I mean, every time I get kicked out of a
school, he's so furious he doesn't even

speak for a week.

And the next thing you know, he buys me
a car, a boat.

Did he ever talk about your mother?

Not a chance.

I mean, business, golf, the stock
market, no problem.

I think he's more messed up than I am.

I forgot how good you are for me, Vic.

How much I like being with you.

Hey, Vicki.

Hi.

Um... Adam Eddington and Zachary Gray.

I didn't get a chance to introduce you
yesterday.

Thomas Grayson?

That's what it says on my birth
certificate.

But he's been known to deny it.

Your father's company is using drift
nets on the Marie Rose to supply his

cannery.

All right, I give up.

What's a drift net?

They're called walls of death.

They stretch out for miles underwater
and they catch everything and anything

that comes by. They end up catching
dolphins even though the fishermen don't

want them.

So what's the problem? They can just
throw them back.

They're dead by then.

Dolphins have to come up to breathe, but
the nets hold them down and they drown.

That's why they're illegal.

Well, then why are you telling me? Go to
the cops.

Did your father really use these,
Zachary?

Have you become a dolphin hugger, Vic?

Maybe.

Okay, then.

Anything for a lady.

We'll check it out tonight.

So, uh, who's Dudley Do -Right?

Just a friend.

Look, uh, guys, my dad...

isn't going to let me sneak in aboard a
ship with a couple of green piecers, so,

um... You know, uh, stay here and keep a
lookout, will you, Vic?

Sure.

So, uh, you know Vicki Long?

Oh, no, just a few days, but she seems
great.

This is it. Help me with this.

Who's out there?

It's Zachary Gray, Captain.

What are you doing out here, Zachary?

Oh, I'm just showing some friends
around.

Hey, Adam.

Yeah.

You ready to go, buddy?

Yeah.

Well, good night, Captain.

Yeah, thanks, Captain.

Good night, boys.

I saw it float under the tarp. It's
drifting all right.

Well, that wasn't exactly the way I'd
planned on ending the evening.

And what had you planned?

You miss me a little, haven't you?

Yeah, a little.

Good night.

Good night, Vic.

Dream about me, okay?

And according to the Maritime
Preservation Act of 1994... Look, okay,

okay. You convince me.

When the Marie Rose gets back in port,
I'll take a look.

I know, but sometimes... Okay.

Happy?

wonderful, Rob. I think it's disgusting.

Nikki, while you were down at the beach,
a present came for you.

Hey.

Love Zachary.

How nice.

What did Adam send you? A bucket of
fish.

For someone so smart, why are you so
mature sometimes?

I just don't understand the whole dating
thing.

I'm not dating Adam.

You know what I mean.

Going from one guy to the next, do you
find the one you really like?

Part of the whole adventure of life,
Susie.

Anything as illogical as dating is such
a waste of time and energy.

When I get older, I'm just going to find
the one guy I really like and, you

know, that'll be it. How romantic.

I'm never going to date.

Girls are gross.

You're walking around with a jar full of
dead bugs and girls are gross?

So, um, this guy you pick out, what if
he doesn't like you back?

It'd be ridiculous.

Hello.

More books.

Adam.

Here to join us for dinner?

Yeah, sure.

It's the only decent meal I ever get
anyway.

Shall we?

Well, I grew up in St. Louis, you know,
so... I never even saw an ocean until my

parents took me to Florida when I was
ten.

Is that where you saw your first
dolphin?

Yeah. Yeah, it was.

But, you know, it wasn't in a tank or a
theme park or anything.

It was actually in the ocean. And all of
a sudden, I see all these fins coming

at me. You know, I thought it was sharp,
so I panicked.

And I stayed very still.

And then they came closer.

Closer, you know. And all of a sudden,
one of them just leaps out of the water

without any effort, like it had wings.

I didn't know much at the time, but...

I knew sharks couldn't do anything like
that.

So I relaxed a little bit as the whole
pod just glided past me.

I remember I reached out with both my
hands, feeling them so smooth and

graceful.

They formed a ring around me.

They just kept circling.

And then just as quickly they were gone.

Anyway...

I knew right then that I wanted to study
them.

That must have been so beautiful.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was.

But it's kind of a strange experience to
base a life decision on.

Why?

Well, Vicki, I'm not convinced about
anything unless I can prove it.

But you borrow philosophy books from my
grandfather, and nobody can prove that

stuff either.

Vicki. Maybe the dolphins were trying to
communicate with you, touch you.

I'm just saying, if a beautiful thing
happens to you, you don't have to... I

don't know, get out a calculator and
figure it out. Oh, I'm a scientist,

All right? That's what scientists do. We
figure things out.

Hello?

Dan!

Hey.

Am I interrupting anything?

Please do.

Thank you.

I was there when the Marie Rose pulled
in.

The captain let me look all around,
which he didn't have to do. It's not

had a search warrant or anything.

And?

Adam, there are no drift nets on that
boat.

But we saw them.

Look, he knew we were on to them, and he
hid them.

Look, even if I did find them, really,
there's nothing I can do.

The law says you have to actually catch
them using a drift net to prosecute.

So you're not going to do anything?

Is that what you're telling me? You're
just going to sit by and let dolphins

keep getting slaughtered?

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Adam!

Adam!

Hope I didn't cause too much trouble.
Dan, you're just doing your job.

All right, then.

Good night. Good night.

Vicki, you know, I don't think Adam has
ever met anybody who challenges him like

you do.

I can't figure him out. He cares so
much, but he sees so little.

If I were a dolphin, we'd get along just
fine.

The

stars

are beautiful tonight.

Yeah.

Susie's got another.

A real beauty, too.

Want to see it?

No. I don't look through telescopes much
anymore. It takes away all the magic.

And I'll promise you that Susie knows
the name of that star, the weight, all

details.

And that's good.

That's her passion.

But sometimes I... Sometimes I wish
she'd just sit back and enjoy the beauty

it.

They are beautiful.

But you know the amazing thing about it?
That star of Susie's could have burned

out thousands of years ago, but the
light still keeps coming, and so what

think you're looking at isn't
necessarily the whole truth.

And that applies to people, you know?

Adam. No, no, no. It's possible that
Adam's real light hasn't reached you

And that doesn't mean it's not there.

Come with me. I want to... I want to
show you something.

Henry Vaughan.

17th century.

You like that century, don't you? Yes,
yes.

That was a good one.

Listen.

I saw eternity.

The other night like a great ring of
pure and endless light

All calm as it was bright

and round beneath it time in hours

days years

Driven by the spheres

Like a vast shadow moved in which the
world and all her

train were hurled.

Beautiful.

It's deep.

17th century was very deep.

Sweetie, read on. I think you'll enjoy
it.

I'm going to get these.

These old bones to bed Good night,
darling

Thanks

for letting me know that's right, sir

I hear you visited the Marie Rose with
some friends the other night.

Yeah, they like boats.

You like the way we live, don't you,
Zachary?

The cars, the houses, especially this
one.

The private schools you occasionally
attend, you like these things, don't

Well, in order to maintain our
lifestyle, we need to maintain our

Ten ships and the largest independent
cannery on the East Coast.

A business my father started.

A business I have worked hard to build
up and a business I will not see you

destroy.

Does our business use drift nets?

Zachary, toughen up.

I am sick of watching you mope around
like some kind of four -year -old.

Bring her over, Frank.

Hold her steady. If she delivers breach,
she could die.

happening? It's Amy.

She's having a difficult delivery.

Give me the hypodermic.

No. She doesn't want to be stated. She
needs to be alert. Get out of here.

Wait.

Basil's here.

She wants him with her.

Over there.

Oh, man, I forgot to call him. It
doesn't matter. He knows. Let him in.

It's okay.

Relax.

Hey, buddy.

That's their way.

Vicki, what just happened?

I gotta go.

Vicki.

Vicki, wait!

Vicki!

Vicki, where are you going?

Home. You communicated with her, didn't
you?

I'm going home. No, you did. There was
something the first time when you met

Enid, and again with Basil and the babe,
but I didn't think anything about it.

But now I see.

You communicated telepathically, didn't
you?

Let go of the bike. Didn't you? I don't
know, and I don't want to talk about it.

But, Vicki, don't you see?

This could prove that dolphins don't
only communicate vocally or

but telepathically.

I don't care.

Why are you so upset? I mean, there have
been cases of children who have a

certain level of sensitivity.

Children? Yes. Of course, we've never
given it much credence. Is that what you

think I am, a child?

Vicki, I didn't mean it. I'm not your
case, and I'm not a child.

Now I'm going home.

Vicki, I'm sorry.

Hi. Hi.

Uh, Susie told me I might find you here.

What you writing?

Nothing. What do you want?

Look, I'm sorry if I made you feel like
a freak yesterday.

And a child. Don't forget that part.

I know, but you wouldn't let me finish.

Vicki, there is tons of scientific data
out there that proves that dolphins

don't like... Is that all you ever talk
about?

Data? Well, I've got news for you, Adam.
I don't know why I can do this.

It's not like I hear specific words or
anything. I don't speak dolphin.

It's just a feeling, and it kind of
scares me, okay?

I know. If you would just let us study
you, maybe... I don't want to be studied

like one of Rob's bugs or something.

And I... And what?

And I don't think I want it explained.

I really think there are things in this
world that we're not meant to

understand.

Forget it.

Vicki, I'm... I'm sorry, all right?

Okay, okay, okay.

Look.

I didn't mean to make you feel
uncomfortable yesterday.

All right? I was... What, Adam? You were
what?

Jealous.

Okay? I was jealous.

That's all.

I mean, I have studied them for years.

I could write my thesis tomorrow if they
would let me, but I can't do what you

can, Vicki.

And I would give anything, anything to
be able to.

Why? So they could help you write your
thesis?

Well, yeah.

I mean, I have a ton of questions for
them, but... All right, now I'm going to

sound like a freak. And don't laugh.

At the end of the summer...

I'd really like to say goodbye to them.

You know, just... Just let them know how
much I'm going to miss them.

Well, come on. You said you weren't
going to laugh.

It's not that.

Honest.

It's just... You sounded kind of human
just then, and it threw me.

That's all.

So we're friends again?

Yeah, sure.

Friends. Cool.

All right, well, I've got to get back to
work.

See you.

See you.

Hey,

Susie.

Were you serious about what you said the
other day?

About just finding a guy and, boom,
knowing he's the one?

Well, I don't know if it'll actually go
boom or not.

Come on, I'm serious.

Help me out here. I'm the younger
sister.

Why are you asking me?

Because you're the genius.

Not about boys.

Is it Adam?

Zachary?

Well, who do you like being with more? I
don't know.

Adam is so confident.

So sure of what he's going to do with
his life.

And Zachary's like being out in a storm,
exciting and frightening at the same

time.

Uh -huh.

Well, let's weigh the evidence
scientifically.

If you're going strictly on physical
attributes, Zach would get my vote.

Adam's nicer and smarter, but marine
biologists smell like fish and

all the time.

Of course, Adam has a plan for his life.

Zachary doesn't. But with all that
money, who needs it?

If I were you, I'd make a list.

Pros and cons for both of them, with
appropriate plus and minus points for

degrees of importance, then add them up.

Thanks, Susie.

Glad to be of help.

And here we go.

Thanks, good boy.

So, I heard... You and Adam stick to
cops a mild man.

Good for you.

You guys still fighting?

Oh, we never fight, Vic.

You see, in order to fight, you actually
have to talk to each other.

You know, when I was growing up, my
parents were always weird because they

got divorced, which was mostly because
they thought it would be too

inconvenient.

When I met your parents last summer,

I mean, not only are they not divorced,
but they seem like they loved each

other. They do. That's wild.

And I mean, you and your family talk
about just everything and you go to

and you say grace.

I mean, I don't know anyone else who
does that kind of stuff.

And even though you do all of that,
you're still real.

Thank you.

He's right here. Oh, I forgot to tell
you. I have a surprise guest.

Hi. It's okay. I invited him this time.

Okay, I'm here. What's this all about?

So, this is how I avoided the
harbormaster the other day.

About a mile out, this little boat gives
him the nets.

And since you two are playing the hardy
boys, I thought, well, with my

compliments.

Look, I'm sorry, you guys.

These aren't enough.

All right, we have to actually catch
them using the drift nets to do

Well, maybe that can be arranged.

Okay, well, look, this is boring. Let's
go dancing.

Dancing? Where?

Well, take my boat. We'll zip over to
the mainland. I know this club. That's

totally insane.

Okay, but I can't be back too late.

Hey, Adam, come on.

No, I don't dance.

Sure you do. Everybody dances.

Well, not me.

Well, come on. We can't wait all night.

Come on. I'll teach you. No.

No, you go.

You have fun.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Writing.

What are you doing?

So is your offer still good?

What offer?

You know, teach me how to dance.

That's it.

Don't think so much. Just go with the
music.

You are.

You write a lot, don't you?

I guess.

So, what is it you write about all the
time?

Just stuff. You know.

Your, uh... Your grandfather says you
write poetry.

Oh?

Maybe.

Come on.

So, you talk with Grandfather a lot?

Yeah. Yeah, I did before you guys got
here.

Mostly about the books I borrow.

He's a great guy.

And he's a pretty good cook, too.

He had to learn when he was a
missionary.

I didn't know he was a missionary.

Yeah, well, he used to have a huge
church in Boston.

They used to broadcast his sermons on
the radio and everything.

Wow.

Yeah, I know.

Pretty amazing.

He traveled all over the world.

And then he found this island.

Okay. Now it's your turn to lead.

Just do whatever you want and I'll
follow.

Yeah, that's not so bad, is it?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's not so bad.

I better get back.

Yeah.

Me too.

Look,

I really do need your help on my dolphin
research.

You're the breakthrough I've been
waiting for, Vicki.

Will you help me tomorrow?

Sure, I'll help you if I can you can
Well, uh

Thanks Good night.

Good night

Wow There

they

go free now what now is where you come
in

Now what I want you to do is call them.

I can't.

No, I think you can.

You see, in the same way that your mind
is open to receive what they say, I

think you can reach out and call them.

But what if they don't come?

Well, if they don't come, they don't
come.

You know, you don't have to succeed. You
just have to try.

Okay.

Did you do it?

Yeah.

I think so.

Why do you think they did it?

Who?

The dolphins.

Why do you think they returned to the
sea?

I don't know.

And you know, the part that gets me the
most is that if you look at their

flippers, they're really paws.

Fingers. Made over with skin.

I guess when they returned to the sea,
they had to give up their hands.

Wow.

With no hands, there would be no
writing.

Yeah, no writing.

No music, no art.

Do you think when they went back to the
sea, they had to choose to give up their

hands?

That there was something so worth it
they were willing to?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Hey, look!

Tell them to do something with your
mind.

Go on, tell them.

That was amazing. What did he tell you?

I told him to do a flip.

Well, do it again.

That's amazing. Do it again.

No, he's bored with that. He wants you
to play with him.

Go talk to them, Vicki.

Ask them a question.

Like what?

Well, ask them about what we talked
about before.

Why they returned to the city.

Vicki, are you all right? What happened?

I don't know. You shouted and then just
calmly walked back to shore and sat

down. Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah. Where did Eden and Basil go?

They left back to the ocean. What
happened?

They tried to answer my question, but I
don't think I could understand it.

It was like light.

Stars swirling around each other.

I don't know, Adam, but the dolphins are
absolutely connected with everything.

Their thoughts are totally open to each
other.

They have no secrets.

Well, that seems kind of scary, don't
you think?

At first, but then there's this
incredible freedom in no secrets.

You can't help but be who you are.

That's why it was worth it to them to
return.

No secrets.

Hey, Vic.

What are you doing here?

It's time.

Time for what?

Catch the bad guy.

We'll stay back far enough so they don't
know we're following.

But the minute the Marie Rose starts
dropping the nets, we zoom up and get

on video.

I'm sure it'll end up on TV.

What about Adam?

Just because I invited him to dinner the
other night doesn't mean I want him

around all the time.

Today's adventure?

It's just you and me, Vic.

So, why did you invite him?

To give him the evidence.

All right. All right.

Curiosity.

About what?

The competition.

Why is everything a competition, guys?

It's in the genes.

We can't help it.

So, that Adam is pretty serious, huh?

You get. It's like hanging out with an
old man.

Why are you obsessing about Adam? I'm
not obsessing. I'm just making an

observation. He's kind of dull, that's
all.

He's not dull.

Wanna have some fun?

What are you doing?

Did you ever play chicken, Vic?

Come on, let me explain.

Explain what?

That you want to kill yourself?

Come on, it was just fun. I was under
control.

No, you weren't.

Look, Zachary, I'm sorry your mother
died, and I'm sorry you're having

with your father.

We have too much going for you to do
this stupid stuff.

All right, I'm sorry. I just... Look, I
don't know. I was... I don't know. I was

showing off or something.

Yeah, okay.

I really like you, you know?

Start trying to like yourself.

I fell.

It's me, Grandfather Vicki.

I woke up and you were there, Carol.

And I tried to get my medicine.

And I fell.

I'm not Grandmother. I'm Vicki.

Grandmother's gone.

Oh.

Oh, Vicki.

All right. Yes, Vicki.

Oh, yes.

I'm sorry.

No, I... Oh.

I... I miss her so much.

I know.

We should call a doctor. No, no, no.

Hand me my medicine. It's on the floor.
Thank you.

For pain, take as needed.

Yes. Grandfather... I need...

A glass of water, would you please?

I love watching a storm grow nearer. You
know, that's one of the

wonderful things about living here.

You can watch so many things evolve.

Grandfather? Yeah?

I want you to look me right in the eye
and answer a question.

Are you all right?

Your health?

Superb.

For anyone.

Please answer my question.

Darling, darling, darling.

I know this hasn't been an easy summer
for you.

I know that, but maybe it's time to face
some facts. You see, I'm not a young

man anymore.

I'm an old man, darling, and I'm
enjoying every minute of it.

Grandfather, what exactly is the matter
with you?

Leukemia.

Are you sure?

No doubt.

Do Mom and Dad know?

No. I'm going to tell them as soon as
they arrive, dear. I wouldn't have

burdened you with it, darling, but
you... you insisted.

But nothing can happen to you. I don't
want it to.

No, no, no.

You're the only person who understands
me.

You'll meet another, I promise.

Many, many more.

Through your poetry.

If you come with me, I...

I want you to read me something.

Vicki, death is as natural as that storm

out there.

How can I fear what God has in store for
me?

I trust him completely.

Believe me, it's very comforting.

Come here, dear.

In fact, you wrote something that's very
comforting.

There.

Please, read that. Read that to me.

The universe is part of this one cry in
this strange

land where all are born to die.

Each tree and leaf and star show how the
universe is part of this one cry.

That every life is noted and is
cherished and nothing left is ever lost

or perished

You understand

to watch your eggs this morning.

I tried to write you something last
night.

Oh. Really?

Yeah. Yeah, but it was pretty bad,
though.

I ended up throwing it away.

I don't know. Everything I write comes
out like a research paper.

You shouldn't have thrown it out.

Oh, look who's talking.

You don't show anybody your stuff,
either.

Yeah, well... What is it?

Vicki?

It's got Enid.

Look, we have to call the harbor master.
And say what?

That we know where a dolphin is trapped
in a drift net because its mate told us

so telepathically?

Okay, so what do we do?

I know somebody else with a boat.

Hello?

Vicki. Uh, no, I'm just spending some
quality time with my dad.

He's going to be working on his yacht
all day for his business plans. Hey,

You look great.

What?

Okay, where's the stuck fish?

It's a dolphin and it's trapped in the
drift net. Look, whatever.

I'm here to help. Let's go.

So, how do we get there?

Follow him.

Zachary, where are you going? Get back
up here.

Not today, Dad.

I've got something that's actually
important to do.

How does she know that?

It's the Marie Rose.

She's about a mile out with her nets
out.

Look, if they start pulling in the drip,
that's Enid's day.

Zachary, hand me your cell phone. We've
got to call the harbor master.

But, Vicki, I thought you said he
wouldn't listen to us. You said he'd

were crazy.

I know somebody he'll believe.

Hello? Susie, it's Vicki. Vicki, where
are you? What are you doing?

I'll take that.

Hello,

Vicki. What is it?

Grandfather, I need a favor.

All right, pull her up.

The drift nets are a mile long. They
have a few minutes before they get here.

Then we have to save her.

I'll

call

you as soon as I know anything.

Dan, Dan.

I was thinking, could I ride along?

You sure you're up for this, Reverend?

I never felt better. Okay.

Okay, come on.

I've got to cut her loose.

She's tired. She can't laugh, Mr.
Walters. Just talk to her a bit, all

Tell her to hold on.

Hold on, Enid.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Patent.

A vote.

I'll listen in.

That's Mr. Gray's kid.

What's he doing out here? Shouldn't he
stop drawing in the net?

No. No, this could be trouble. You keep
it coming.

Hold on, Enid.

Mom!

Can you get it? Not yet.

It's pretty tough stuff. I will, though.

Come on in.

Man, don't do that to me.

Hand me the binoculars, will you, Rev?

What is it? We got him, Rev.

Caught in the act.

Hey, look.

Hey, there's somebody with him.

Get Mr. Gray on the phone.

He is not going to be happy.

Look.

Hey, Captain!

You're busted!

Yes!

They

smoked

you, didn't they?

The dolphins.

Yeah.

Just once.

Just for a second.

They, uh... They told me to hold on.

That I... I had more to do.

I'm glad.

No, no, Vicki, Vicki will tell you what
happened, but I'm going to get a nap.

Vicki, what's going on? What happened?

Okay, okay, calm down, guys.

Grandfather, would you like some tea?

Victoria?

Grandfather?

Come here.

I'll call an ambulance.

No, come here.

It's my time here.

I know.

You never should have been out there
today. This is all my fault.

You don't know what you did for me.

You gave me one of the greatest days of
my life.

Let me call a doctor. No, no, come here.

Come here closer, closer.

I want to tell you something that's...
that's important.

You have a light, Becky.

A wonderful gift.

Have a special voice. Don't ever hide
it. The world needs all the beauty it

get, darling.

Share it with everyone.

Share it.

Promise me.

I promise.

Don't ever be afraid, dear.

It's a show of a very special person
that you are.

Don't ever, ever be.

Susie?

The ferry's in.

Your parents should be here any minute.

Thanks.

Vicki?

There could be a planet somewhere where
nobody has any eyes.

Could be, I guess.

Well, if nobody had any eyes, it could
get along all right without them,

wouldn't they?

Sure.

They'd compensate with hearing and smell
and touch, I guess.

But they wouldn't know what anything
looked like.

No.

It wouldn't be possible.

I was thinking, when the people on the
planet with no eyes die, since planets

wear their eyes... Maybe.

So maybe when we die, we'll get
something new too.

Something as important as being able to
see.

But since we don't know what it is,
nobody could tell us about it now any

than we could explain seeing to the
people on the planet with no eyes.

I think you're right, Rob.

Vicki, come here.

Here we go.

Yeah, thanks for everything, Dan.

My pleasure.

You got great teeth.

Okay, guys, get a hold of it.

Thanks for letting me read them.

They're great.

Thanks, but, um, you're prejudiced.

Yeah, maybe.

But, uh...

I still think they're great.

I've decided to show them to the lit
magazine at school.

What, the old school or the new school?

I talked to Mom.

I'm not going to the new school.

I don't belong there.

I have to go.

You're going to be a great artist,
Vicki.

And you're going to be a great
scientist.

You know, your grandfather always said
that art and science are really one.

Goodbye.

All right.

So why?

I saw eternity the other night, like a
great ring of pure and endless

light, all calm as it was bright, and
round beneath it, time,

in hours, days, years, driven by the
spheres like

a vast shadow moved in which the world
and all her train were

hurled.
