Dolphin Tale 2 Page #2

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for your understanding.

I'm sorry.

Panama!

What happened?

We just don't know.

She, took one last breath

and went to the bottom.

Kat was there, but there

was nothing she could do.

Winter.

Winter's fine.

We had them separated.

We needed Panama alone

to do some tests.

She was just so old.

Could have been anything.

Yeah.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Come in. Or up, or whatever.

Thanks.

How you doing?

It's funny. I never

come up here anymore.

I used to spend hours

and hours up here.

Why do these things have to happen?

Wish I knew.

I loved Panama.

I'm gonna miss her so much.

She was good, you know?

She was gentle.

Yeah.

If you could turn the clock

back to whenever you want...

and make everything

exactly the way it used to be...

would you?

Maybe. But...

I don't really know.

Yeah.

Come here, Winter.

How's our girl?

Mostly just staying

under the platform.

Think she knew Panama was dying?

It's hard to say.

She may have seen something

inside Panama that we couldn't.

Who knows? Maybe she

was trying to tell us.

It's really good that

you're keeping her company.

What's that?

Oh.

Yeah, I forgot.

Hey, I know this program.

It's out of Boston, right?

Yeah.

They invited me.

That's fantastic, buddy!

That is a big deal!

So when do you go?

September something.

But it's for three months. Think it's

okay for me to leave Winter that long?

She'll be fine.

We've gotta pair her up with

another female, don't we?

Yeah. That's true.

We've got Mandy now.

We do.

What do they say?

"Whenever one door closes,

another one opens."

Yeah.

So you're saying basically

she's depressed?

Yeah, in dolphin terms,

yes, she's lethargic...

not interacting, refusing

her food for the most part.

We're trying to increase

her supplements, but...

What about the prosthetic?

She's refusing that too.

So it's possible her spine

is deteriorating again?

It's possible.

I have an ultrasound and x-ray

set scheduled for Friday.

It's been, what, three weeks? And you've kept

her away from the public the whole time.

Yup. I have.

Sounds like she's missing Panama.

She's probably lonely.

And isn't it against USDA regulations

to keep a dolphin in a pool alone?

We have another female.

Why don't we just put Mandy in with her?

I can't give you an

answer on that right now.

But we're more than just a hospital now.

We're a full-blown aquarium.

People are coming from all over

the world to see and learn.

- I'm aware of what people...

- That allows us...

to expand and build more care facilities

and pools and operating rooms.

And how many of those people

have come to see Winter?

Clay, come on. You've seen the faces

of the kids and the veterans, right?

How moved and inspired they are.

Isn't that part of our mission too?

You can't just throw two

dolphins in the water together!

It doesn't work that way!

I'm not trying to tell you

how to do your job, Clay.

I'm just saying that putting Mandy

and Winter together in the pool...

as soon as possible would be a heck

of a good idea. Don't you think?

Come on up! Good girl.

Yeah. Good girl.

How's Mandy doing?

Pretty good.

Her sunburn is looking a lot better.

Good.

- What's with Rufus?

- I don't know.

He's been doing that for a couple days now,

just up and down to that dock over there.

Why?

I don't know.

Maybe he's losing his mind.

Heh. Not that there's much to lose.

Which dock is it?

- What is that?

- Is there something under there?

I don't know.

- What is it?

- I have no idea.

Oh, my gosh.

Here, get its head up!

Oh, my gosh. It's all tangled.

- Rufus...!

- We got him.

Rufus...!

Rufus, cut it out!

What is your issue?

Go away!

- Well, least she didn't swallow the hook.

- Yeah.

When these guys throw their old fishing

line in the water, they just don't realize.

- Ilex, please.

- Yeah.

The lacerations aren't

too bad, I guess.

Yeah, but we need x-rays.

Make sure nothing's broken.

- CT scan?

- Yeah, and blood work. Check her glucose.

- She's lost blood, her iron will be low.

- Absolutely right.

- What on earth is wrong with that bird?

- Where do I start?

Thanks.

There she goes.

All right.

What do you think, guys?

What do we name her?

Mavis.

Mavis?

- From The Andy Griffith Show!

- Don't you watch any TV from this century?

Great. Now he's a bodyguard.

Please pardon our clutter.

Excuse me, look out!

Look out! Excuse me!

You can't get in without a ticket.

Do you have a ticket?

No, I don't have a ticket,

nor do I intend to buy one.

- You need to buy a ticket.

- Stop clawing at me!

- I've got jars of peanut butter

older than you. - But, sir...

Get your grubby hands

off my case, piranha!

Dr. McCarthy!

You can let him in. He's our guest.

- Sorry, sir.

- All right.

I'm sorry. There are so many new

people here, they didn't know who you were.

That much is obvious.

We have a standing appointment,

every 6 months.

I'm so sorry.

It totally slipped my mind.

Surely she's outgrown

the last tail by now.

The trick has been trying

to get her to wear it.

I'm so sorry, but no one's allowed

back here. Winter's not feeling very well.

- Why?

- I'm sorry, girls.

- Does she ever come out?

- Not much. Not since Panama died.

It's hard to even

coax her out to eat.

You ever try bacon?

- It works with my cat.

- Heh.

Yep. Thanks.

All right. Come on, Winter.

Up you go.

Don't rush her now.

Nice and slow, Sawyer.

There you go. Good girl.

Come on. It's okay.

Here she comes.

Come on. Good girl.

Good girl. Yeah.

Come on.

Attagirl.

Good girl. We gotta get you

out of the pool, all right?

Gotta make another cast.

You keep getting bigger...

so we gotta make a new tail.

So you can wear it.

When you feel better.

She okay?

I think so.

Okay, here we go.

Ready, Hazel? Phoebe?

Good girl. Good girl.

- It's coming to you, now.

- Okay.

- Got it?

- Got it.

It's okay.

All right, let me know, Sawyer.

Let's go.

All right, gang. Coming down.

Hey! Easy, easy. It's okay.

How's she looking?

- Good?

- You're doing good.

Still good?

Come on, it's okay.

It's fine.

It's okay. You're doing good.

- Oh, my gosh, Sawyer!

- Winter!

- Get him out of there!

- Sawyer!

Sawyer! Get over here!

I've got you.

Come here!

Are you okay?

- I'm fine.

- Take a deep breath.

You're all right.

In very simple terms, I think

our mission here at SEA is to...

prepare students to

learn on their own.

Hey, hon.

I scooped it for you. I thought

that might make it a little easier.

Maybe later.

Mom. Stop.

I'm so sorry, honey.

Any idea why Winter

might have done it?

I don't.

She didn't mean to.

She just got freaked out.

She's a wild animal.

Dr. Clay said anything about

when you can go back in?

Nope.

I hate to nag, honey, but Dr.

Arroyo needs an answer soon...

Mom, I know, okay?

When I have an answer, I'll say so.

Come on.

Stupid...

- Hey, Clay.

- George.

Hope I didn't startle you.

Couple of your staff let me in.
