Dolphin Tale 2 Page #4

Could you hand them to me?

Yeah.

Okay.

Thank you.

You got it.

- How's she doing, Kat?

- I think we're good.

Okay.

All right, Sawyer, get the gate.

Hey. Is that them?

Yeah. Half-dozen.

Okay. That should be fine.

Okay.

Okay, everyone,

don't stand too close.

- Everybody ready?

- Yup.

Of course you have a choice.

- I have an obligation to every...

- Your obligation is to this institution...

and the people and the animals and the

work we've done over the last three years.

Think about the community!

What Winter means to them!

I have a job to do, Phil.

If you let Mandy go, the government will

take Winter, and that is it, end of story.

I can't morally keep

her in captivity!

- So we lose Winter?

- We might.

When we shook hands on the dock that day

you told me I could run this place my way!

And that's what I'm doing!

If you don't like it, fire me.

All right, guys. Keep tension

on the ropes, please.

Are you guys ready down there?

Here we go.

As soon as she gets past the ledge,

Skip, turn her to your side.

- We're gonna take her in tail first,

all right? - Keep the rope tight, please.

Nice work.

Easy, easy. Cammy, Maxie,

please go on that side.

Easy.

Take your time. Watch her fluke.

Hold it steady.

I figure you've been on

enough of these releases.

Why don't you take over from here?

Are you serious?

Yeah. You could do

this in your sleep.

Just don't.

Clay? She's leaning a little.

Is that okay?

Yeah! Yeah, that's fine, Kat!

Just watch her pec on

that far side. Tuck it.

Okay, got it!

Nice job.

Lower her to my side as

we go up the ramp. Ready?

All right. Here we go, guys.

What is it?

- I just wanted to watch it.

- Oh, yeah, me too.

So exciting.

Radio check? Kyle, do you read me?

Kyle?

Yeah, I hear you.

Sorry, but who is this?

Is that you, Phoebe?

It's Hazel.

It's Hazel. Heh, heh.

Hey, Hazel. I'm reading

you loud and clear.

Hazel! Look! It's Mandy.

Ready? One, two, three!

- Go slow, slow, slow.

- Keep it level.

Go slow, go slow.

- Dad, lower yours a little bit.

- Okay.

Phoebe, watch your pole.

We're doing good, guys.

Just watch your footings.

Breath.

Nice and steady.

Good work, guys.

Okay. That's good. Stop here.

How's she doing?

Looks like she's ready to go.

How's the transmitter?

All good.

We're good here, Kyle.

You got a signal?

You bet. Signal's nice and strong.

Okay.

All right, everyone, right side. We're

gonna lower our poles on three. Ready?

One, two, three!

- Got her?

- Yeah.

All right, left side, on three.

Ready? One, two, three!

Good.

Go on.

- Go on, Mandy.

- Go, Mandy.

Go, Mandy!

Yes!

There we go! Go, Mandy!

Look at that.

She's starting to take off.

Bye, Mandy! Get home safe!

Wow. She is really moving fast!

- Yeah.

- Hang on. Something's coming.

- What do you see?

- I don't know.

What do you see, Kyle?

It's a school of something.

Sharks maybe.

They're coming at her fast.

- They should move in.

- No, wait.

Dad.

Look there!

- Dolphins.

- Yeah.

A whole pod.

Kyle, they're bottlenose.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

Look, there they are!

Look!

Everybody, look! They're dolphins!

Looks like they're giving

her a hero's welcome.

Yeah, Mandy!

That was nice of you the other day.

- What was?

- That veteran. Letting him see Winter.

Thanks.

And that volunteer too.

- What's her name again?

- Who?

The volunteer.

Dark hair, this long.

Oh.

Susie.

So you book your

flight to Boston yet?

No. Well, Kyle did, but...

- I don't know...

- What don't you know?

I don't know if I'm gonna go.

What? No, Sawyer, you have to!

Why? Why do I have to?

- Because it's such a great opportunity...

- I know it is!

That's all anyone ever

says to me anymore!

- I'm just happy for you!

- I get it!

Sorry.

Hazel, what am I supposed to do?

Mandy's gone, Panama's gone,

Winter's getting worse.

I'm not even allowed to

swim with her any more.

How could I leave now?

- What are you doing?

- This has gone on long enough.

You are gonna get in so much trouble!

Well, at least we'll know.

Come on, Winter.

Here she comes.

- If she gets aggressive, just get out.

- Yeah. No kidding.

Talk to her.

I've got it. I've known her

longer than you have.

Yeah, like, 10 minutes.

You know what I mean.

Don't be so pushy.

Hey. Hey, girl.

Show her your wrist.

Here.

See it?

It's okay.

I'm okay.

Good girl.

Tweety-bird.

Answer her.

Everything okay now?

We good?

Get him, Winter! Come on!

- It worked!

- Yes!

Gotcha! Serves you right!

Come on.

Good girl.

She's a good girl.

She's okay. Yeah, she's fine.

Hey! What do you think you're doing?

- It wasn't his fault, Dad.

It was my decision. - No, it wasn't.

I don't care whose it was!

It was dangerous.

These aren't pets.

They're wild animals.

- I told you specifically...

- But you weren't here.

I know Winter better than anyone.

So we made our own decision.

And she's fine.

So don't blame Hazel for anything.

If you're gonna blame someone, blame me.

Oh, guys...

It doesn't even matter.

George Hatton came by today.

Another violation?

That's a transfer order.

They're moving Winter

to a marine park...

in Texas.

I...

I'm so sorry.

Hey, Mom. I'm really sorry I'm late.

It's okay, honey.

I just was seized by this strange craving

for the grouper they have next door.

What do you say we

grab a bite to eat?

Yeah. Okay.

Good. Not too crowded.

How can you tell? It's so dark.

Surprise!

- Hey. Sawyer!

- Hey.

Hey, Sawyer. Good to see you.

Congratulations, young man.

Hey, there he is!

Sawyer, man of the hour.

Come say hi to everybody.

You must be so thrilled.

- Yeah.

- When do you guys leave?

The 23rd. We're on the

noon flight out of Tampa.

I can't even imagine how

excited you must be right now.

Yeah? Huh? Right?

You must be so happy for him.

I am.

And such a nice turnout.

Shows you how much

people love that boy.

They do.

Oh, Lorraine! Sweetie!

- Oh! So sorry.

- Oh, that's okay.

Goodness. Here, let me help you.

- Wow.

- Heh.

I want him to go. I do. I just...

I just don't want him to go. Heh.

It's okay.

Hey, Reed.

Doc, you made it.

- Oh, yeah. Never pass up a free meal.

- Heh.

Where is the guest of honor?

Hey.

- Hey.

- Brought you something.

- Going away present.

- Thanks.

It's an old Chinese custom. Open it.

Wow.

It's beautiful.

Belonged to my Uncle Willy.

Been sitting in my garage

since the Nixon administration.

Well, thank you.

Hit it.

- What?

- Hit it.

There it goes.

You see the problem?

I'm about to get a

lesson here, aren't I?

The watch is beautiful...

but my guess is it sat in that box

so long, that it just stopped.

You have to shake it up now and

then to get it moving forward.

Okay.

It's a big world, Sawyer.

Too many opportunities out there

to spend your life in a box.

No matter how nice the box is.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

How you feeling, girl?

Yeah.

Me too.

It's Clay Haskett. Who's calling?

What? When?

Yes! Yes, yes! Absolutely!
