Dolphin Tale 2 Page #6

We got this.

Is everybody set?

We're good to go, Phoebe.

Okay. Open the gate.

Okay, Kat. Go ahead and release Hope.

- Clay, I don't like this.

- Just give it a second.

Hang on.

- Hope!

- Hope!

Hope!

- Get the net!

- No! Winter!

Wait, wait, wait! Hold up!

Close the gate!

Oh, my gosh!

I hope they're all right.

Is everybody all right?

- At first Winter was fine.

- Holding in the gate.

She's just being territorial.

She's saying, "it's my gate."

There. Freeze it.

- Look.

- She's echolocating.

- Yeah, and she sees Winter has no tail.

- She doesn't like that. Here, then look.

- See when Winter starts swimming?

- It freaked Hope out.

Which then freaked Winter out.

Because that movement's completely

unnatural. Hope doesn't understand that.

Yeah, but there's nothing

we can do about that.

That's the only way she can swim.

Maybe not.

What if she wore the tail?

That would freak Hope out even more.

But at least she'd have a

more natural swimming motion.

She has never seen anything like it!

It's just a huge contraption.

But it's that up and down motion.

Yeah, but if she smacks Hope

with it, it's game over.

- Hope is so little.

- She hurt Sawyer. It's too dangerous.

Hang on a second, guys. Sawyer...

I want to know what you think.

She's been aggressive before, right?

Think she'll do it again?

No.

No, that was my fault.

I pushed her too fast,

she wasn't ready.

And I know Winter.

And she's fine now.

I can see it.

I can see it in her eyes,

and the way she is with me.

She's like how she always was.

She never meant any harm.

And if we don't give her

this chance, what do we do?

Give up?

I don't want to look back on

this knowing we didn't even try.

Sawyer's right.

Okay.

Tomorrow, 8 a.m. With the tail.

Anybody has a problem

with that, speak up now.

- Looks pretty busy.

- Holy smoke!

What on earth is the news doing here?

I have no idea.

Do you think they all

heard about the pairing?

Sawyer! We heard you're trying to pair

Winter and Hope! Will you comment on it?

You get inside.

I'll take care of this.

- What about Winter?

- We heard they're moving Winter.

We heard Winter's moving

to Texas. Is that true?

Let him get to work. I know

you have a lot of questions...

Kyle, can you give

us any information?

When we have a statement ready...

- Get your Hope and Winter T-shirt!

- Can I get a T-shirt?

Hello, Sawyer!

Sawyer! Sawyer!

Okay, everybody,

remember this is just a normal day.

Here we are.

Cool. It's a whole new design.

Yeah, more streamlined.

I finished it about 4:00 this morning.

The joints are carbon fiber, and I

made the flukes a little darker...

so it's easier to track movement.

And I hope you'll notice

that they're a lot floppier.

- More like the real thing?

- Yeah.

How did you get these edges so soft?

Three jars of meat tenderizer

and a baseball bat.

Is this a new formula, too?

No, kid. Same formula. I just made a

fresh one. Don't get greedy. All right.

Yeah, they are. We're still here.

It's been about an hour.

We haven't heard anything

in the aquarium for a while.

It's been pretty

hush-hush around here.

Thanks. Sawyer,

you wanna show it to her?

Yeah.

She's okay.

It's okay.

But you gotta wear it now.

It's the most important time ever.

Dr. McCarthy made

it special, just for today.

See? There he is.

He stayed up all night

making it for you.

My sentiments exactly.

Miss Hamilton. Phil Hordern.

It's an honor to have you here.

Thank you for having me.

Clay?

- It's on.

- Attagirl.

All right, Kat, ready?

Yep.

Dad?

- Ready.

- Yeah. Let's go.

All right. Let's get

her off the platform.

All right. Up and down,

Winter. Come on.

I think she likes it.

Good girl.

You hear that? That's Winter.

Couple of chicks talking

trash over the fence.

All right. Anybody's not ready,

I want you to speak now.

All right, Kat, Sawyer...

be ready to pick them up

fast at my command, okay?

I hope they like each other.

Me too.

All right. Open the gate.

Here we go.

Kat, send Hope.

Go on.

Stand-off.

Showdown at high noon.

- Clay?

- Hang on.

Get ready with the net.

Wait on the net! Wait!

Let them go.

What are they doing?

Nobody move. Nobody move!

Here they come!

They're accepting.

They're accepting!

Yes!

Well, I'll be darned.

It's working! We did it!

They did it! It Worked!

Way to go!

I love that fish!

She's not a fish!

Looks like a fish,

smells like a fish.

Way to go, Clay. You did it again.

Look, Dad, they're playing!

- Can I see that for a minute? Yep.

- Thanks.

Whoa!

Kyle...!

I gotta go, Winter.

Okay?

I'll come back.

I promise.

We don't know for sure if dolphins

feel emotion the way we do...

fear, joy, sadness...

but it feels like they do.

They may even feel things

like loneliness, friendship, or loss.

It's hard to say.

I'd like to think that

instinctively they understand...

that life has all of that in it.

And that's not a bad thing.

We just have to embrace it.

Sawyer!

I'm on the roof! Up here!

- Hey, Mom. Can you pull over for a sec?

- LORRAINE:

Sawyer! Up here!

- Sawyer!

- Is that Hazel?

Yeah.

- Oh!

- What was that?

Rufus! You're back!

Oh, Rufus.

Because when one

door closes, another opens.

Life is always full of possibilities.

Bye, Sawyer.

Really gonna miss you.

Lift your weight. Don't let the

other guy lift your weight.

There we go.

Get that stretcher up here,

that blue stretcher.

I want her flipped around.

Name is Hope.
