(Flipper squeaking)

- Hey, Dad, there's Flipper.

- What's he want?

(Flipper squeaking)

- What's on your mind, boy?

(Flipper squeaking)

- What is it Flipper, Bud?

- Bud's safe, he's in a dentist's chair, remember?

- Yeah.

Let's see what he wants.

(Flipper squeaking)

- This it, Flipper?

Is there something down there you want us to see?

(Flipper squeaking)

That's funny.

- Yeah, looks like a false alarm.

- Well, I guess Flipper can make mistakes too, huh?

- Don't tell Bud, you'll shatter his faith.

- Well, let's go.

- Hey, Dad, look.

Looks like somebody's plannin' on doin'

some fishin' over here.

- Yeah, it sure does.

(Flipper squeaking)

Hi, I'm Porter Ricks, I'm the park ranger here.

This is my son, Sandy.

This is quite an interesting rig you've got.

- I'm on oceanographer from the Southern Marine Institute.

The equipment's for some projects I'm working on.

- What, here in the park?

- Oh, you probably want to see my permit.

- Thank you.

Scott Emson.

New England, huh?

Well, looks in order, thank you very much.

Can you tell me what projects you're working on now?

- Fish migrations, water currents.

Nothing that will hurt the inhabitants of the park,

human or otherwise.

I mean, I'm not working with explosives

or anything like that.

Right now I'm testing a new shark repellent.

(Flipper squeaking)

There you are again.

Odd thing happened a while ago.

I was working with the repellent,

and when a shake come along,

that dolphin insisted upon rescuing me.

- That's Flipper, he's our pet dolphin,

my brother's and mine.

He's trained to do that.

Guess that's what he was trying to show us, huh Dad?

- Yeah, I guess so.

- Pet dolphin, well, that explains it then.

It's going to make my work with the sharks a bit rough

if he insists on saving me.

- Well, I'll try and explain to Flipper.

Flipper.

(Flipper squeaking)

- Now, what a minute, Sandy.

We all know that Flipper's a very bright dolphin,

but I don't think any dolphin's smart enough to understand

the intricacies of his work.

How long you gonna be working with your shark experiments?

- Couple of days maybe.

- Alright, I think we can pen Flipper up for a couple days.

- He won't like it.

(Flipper squeaking)

- Maybe you could explain to him

it's in the interest of science.

Anyway, I'd sure appreciate it.

- Well, you're welcome.

We'll see you later.

If you need any more help, give us a call, alright?

- Come on, Flipper.

(Flipper squeaking)

(Flipper squeaking)

- Come on, Flipper, you heard what the man said.

(Flipper squeaking)

It's all in the interest of science.

Good boy.

Don't worry, it won't be for long.

- Why don't you drive, Sandy?

(Flipper squeaking)

- Hi there.

- Hello.

Could one of you could tell me whether there's a place

closer than the Coral Sports Shop where I can

get some air for my tanks?

- No, sir, there isn't.

- Talk about your absentminded professors.

Went out this morning and forgot to take enough air.

- Mister--

- Emson, Scott Emson.

- Got an extra tank here.

You can use it if you like.

- Sure would save me a lot of time,

but let me rent it from you.

- It's okay, you've got an honest face.

Be my guest.

- Can't tell you how grateful I am.

Have it back around noon.

- We'll be here all day.

- Good luck.

(Flipper squeaking)

- Well I could major in science and special in oceanography.

- [Jackson] Coast Guard calling WD9598.

Come in, WD9598.

Coast Guard calling WD9598.

- Go ahead, Coast Guard, this is WD9598, over.

- [Jackson] Porter, this is Jackson at rescue renter.

Are you anywhere near North Beach, over?

- Yeah, Coast Guard, about a half a mile

from North Beach, over.

- [Jackson] We had a distress call from a diver anchored

off North Beach.

You probably can reach him quicker than we can, over.

- Roger, Jackson, I'm on the way.

Any further instructions?

- [Jackson] No, just check with us later, will you?

Over and out.

- Will do, WD9598 out.

Okay, Sandy.

- [Woman] Over here, over here!

- What's the matter?

- I don't know.

- Hold the boat, Sandy.

- We started to dive, and all of a sudden he blacked out.

- Sandy, get me the oxygen bottle and a mask, quick.

. Okay"

- What's the matter?

- Looks like carbon monoxide poisoning to me.

- Here you are, Dad.

- Breathe deeply, breathe. (coughing)

- [Woman] Are you alright?

- I guess so.

What happened?

- The ranger here says that you were poisoned

by carbon monoxide.

- Carbon monoxide?

- Did you use this compressor to fill those bottles?

- Yes.

- No wonder, look at this.

The air intake hose got a hole burnt in it

from your engine exhaust.

You weren't only breathing carbon monoxide,

you were breathing carbon monoxide under pressure.

If she hadn't gotten you up or we didn't have

an oxygen bottle, you'd be dead.

- That was close.

- It sure was.

Did you fill those bottles from that compressor?

Well, you better get rid of those.

They've got bad air too.

(coughing) - We will.

- Okay, but I'm gonna need your name

to fill out my report.

- Wait a minute.

Emson, wasn't that his name, the diver?

- That's right, about a half an hour ago

we loaned one of our tanks to a man.

- Did you use this compressor to fill the tank

that you gave him?

- Yes, sir.

- Did he say where he was going?

- He didn't say.

- Well, which way did he go?

- Generally in that direction.

- Thank you.

Let's hope we're not too late.

Go!

(Flipper squeaking) (bird squawking)

Scott!

Scott!

- His skiff's not here, Dad.

- Yeah, I'm gonna take a look around.

Hold the wheel.

Scott, Scott?

Well, his diving gear's gone,

but there's a couple marks on this chart.

If he's out diving already, we may be too late.

Sandy, call the Coast Guard.

- He's gonna be awfully hard for 'em to spot.

- I know, it's gonna be up to us and this chart.

- [Sandy] wosses.

(Flipper squeaking)

- Hiya, Flipper, what are you doin' in the pen?

(Flipper squeaking)

Oh, I see what happened.

Pete pulled the rope on the gate and locked you in.

(Flipper squeaking)

I'll just go up the house and change my clothes.

You wanna go look for some shells on North Beach?

(Flipper squeaking)

No more tricks, Pete.

(bird squawking)

- Well, that's one more spot he's not at.

- You know, he might not be at any of these

marked spots, Dad.

- That's true, Sandy,

but we don't have any other place to look.

- Next stop is North Point.

. Okay"

(Flipper squeaking)

(Flipper squeaking)

- Flipper, what are you going over there for?

There's no shells there.

Alright.

(Flipper squeaking)

- Oh come on, not you again.

- Hiya, you know Flipper?

- Unfortunately I do.

I suppose you're Bud Ricks.

- Yeah, how do you know?

- I'm Scott Emson.

I'm doing some very important scientific work,

and I don't want your dolphin interfering again.

- Oh, Flipper won't interfere.

He'll help you.

In fact.

Flipper?

Hey, where'd he go?

(Flipper squeaking)

Oh, so that's why he was penned up.

- Exactly, and I'd appreciate if you put him back there.

- Okay, Flipper won't get in your way though, I promise.

- Alright.

- Flipper, come on, let's go.

(Flipper squeaking)

Flipper.

(Flipper squeaking)

- Well, that's last spot on the chart, what now?

- Well, I guess we go home.

Now wait a minute, we haven't checked around the point.

Let's take one look over there.

(Flipper squeaking)

- Hey, hey, look, come on, beat it.

Come on, sorry.

Go on home, I don't want any help.

(Flipper squeaking)

- Flipper, what are you doing?

- He's messing up another experiment,

that's what he's doing.

I told you to get him out of here, now do it!

- Flipper, you gotta leave Mr. Emson alone.

(Flipper squeaking)

- Dad, look.

- Yeah, that's Scott alright,

and it looks like he's ready to go in.

(Flipper squeaking)

(Flipper squeaking)

- Hi, Dad, what are you doin'?

Dad?

(Flipper squeaking)

(coughing)

- How do you feel?

- Like I was knocked unconscious.

- Well, you were, and almost permanently.

- What?

- That tank you borrowed, it was full of carbon monoxide.

- Your color's better, I think you'll be alright,

but if I were you, I'd take the rest of the day off.

- Wait a minute, carbon monoxide.

Then you just saved my life.

- That's right.

It's a good thing Flipper got in the way, huh?

(Flipper squeaking)

- That's true.

No hard feelings I hope.

- Nah.

- Honestly, though, I'm grateful to Flipper,

but how am I gonna test my repellent on sharks

if he keeps rescuing me?

- Hey, why don't you let Flipper hold the camera?

(Flipper squeaking)

- I think I could use some help from the whole family.
