Uh-huh.

Oh dog, you're

a point-killer.

Oh!

Hey, take it easy.

You startled me.

I'm sorry.

You know, I pity

him sometimes.

He's so alone. The only

one of his kind in the world.

Well, he's like

an orphan of time.

Yeah, I've been

thinking about it.

Your going into the tank...

it's risky, too risky.

I'd sleep better if you'd

leave him toJoe and me.

Well, haven't

I been a help?

That's not what I'm

talking about. It's...

Well, it's just that

he's so unpredictable.

- If anything were to happen...

- Nothing's going to happen.

Don't you think you're

making a lot out of nothing?

He's chained and you

have the bull-prod.

Will you listen?

You're only going to

be here a short time...

and using Joe

might hold you up.

Move the ball around.

You gave him a bad jolt

last time. He's leery.

That's all right.

Try it again.

Careful, Helen.

Careful.

Stop.

That's amazing.

It took me three weeks

to teach that to a chimp.

Let's try it again.

[Clete]

Okay?

Okay, Professor.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Be careful, Helen.

Not too close.

Come on.

Helen.!

Get back, Helen.!

Stop!

Clete! Clete!

[Shocking Noise]

Clete!

Get out, Helen!

Get out!

Clete!

Helen, stand back.

Clete!

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

What happened, Clete?

You all right?

Yeah, I'm all right.

[Joe]

Lou, come here quick

and give Helen a hand.

You all right,

Helen?

Yeah.

He's plenty mad.

Let's get outta here.

Hey look,

he broke the chain!

[Joe] Stand clear.

Get back, all of you.

Get back. Stand clear.

[Clete]

Joe.!

Aaah!

[P.A. System]

This is an emergency.

The Gill Man has escaped.

Please.! Please clear

the oceanarium.

Get out, everybody.

[P.A. System]

The Gill Man has

broken out ofhis tank.

Clear the area.

Mommy!

Return to your cars.

Don't approach the

beach side of the ocean.

He'll probably be

heading toward the water.

It is four days since

the Gill Man escaped.

Conflicting reports place

the fearsome creature as far

north as Norfolk, Virginia...

and as far

south as Panama.

But most experts believe

the monster is either dead or on

its way back to the Amazon.

Come on, kids.

Break it up.

We weren't

doing anything.

Well, that's good.

It's time to go home.

Come on, beat it.

Okay, Officer.

Okay.

Anything you say.

[Whimpering]

[Dog Yelps]

Helen!

Are you all right?

Helen!

Chris?

Helen, you all right?

[Knocking]

Helen.!

Who is it?

It's Clete.

Where's Chris?

Well, I left him

in the bedroom.

Isn't he there?

No. I heard him howl.

Well, I'll be

right with you.

I'll look for him outside.

Chris? Here, boy.

Here, Chris!

Here, boy!

[Whistles]

Here, Chris.

Any sign of him?

Uh-uh.

Well, I wonder

where he could be.

Ah, don't worry about him.

He's probably chasing a rabbit.

He'll show up in

the morning. Come on.

I'm glad you're coming

with me tomorrow.

We can take a leisurely

cruise up the river and

have dinner in Jacksonville.

My plane doesn't

leave until midnight...

so maybe we can go stepping for

a couple of hours, if you like.

Oh, it sounds wonderful.

Will you miss me?

It'll be the

longest three months.

Good-bye, Helen.

Good-bye, Clete.

Good-bye.

See you, George.

Thanks a lot.

Have a nice trip.

Sorry about everything

that happened.

Bye.

Bye, fellas.

Now stop worrying

about Chris.

It's not like him

to take off like that.

Look, he'll probably be

waiting for you on your

doorstep when you get home.

I hope so.

For a scientist, I sure

am a sentimental fool.

Stay that way.

Come on now.

Let's enjoy the trip.

[Ballroom Music]

Sure there's nothing

I can do to help?

Everything checks,

but nothing works.

Well, yell if

you need me.

Okay.

Ready?

Sure.

Let's go.

Hey, cut it out.

So you want to play,

huh? That does it.

Try to pull my leg,

will you?

Huh?

For a professor, you certainly

have the manners of a freshman.

Hey, Professor,

come on back.

It's all fixed.

Fun's over.

Did you have fun?

Oh yes,

it was wonderful.

We better get going.

Okay.

Whew, it's hot.

Let's go outside.

All right.

Well, Prince Charming

vanishes at midnight...

and I won't see him

for three long months.

Maybe I can

stretch a weekend.

Might as well be broke,

it's the way I am.

You know,

scientists are funny.

We probe and

measure and dissect.

Invent lights

without heat,

weigh a

caterpillar's eyebrow.

But when it comes to

really important things,

we're as stupid as the caveman.

Important?

Mm-hmm.

Like love.

Makes the world go round,

but what do we know about it?

Is it a fact?

Is it chemistry, electricity?

Once when I had a crush

on the captain of the

high school football team,

I looked it up

in the dictionary.

And love,

according to Mr. Webster,

is "a feeling of strong

personal attachment induced

by sympathetic understanding."

Have you ever

heard such nonsense?

I don't know.

Some things should

remain unknown.

I think a

poet once said,

"But love is such a mystery,

I cannot find it out.

For when I think

I'm best resolved,

I then am most in doubt."

[Screaming]

[Helen Screaming]

Helen!

Help!

Helen.!

[Screaming]

What was that?

I don't know.

Aaah!

Helen!

[Helen Screaming]

[Radio]

The Gill Man has kidnapped a

woman from the Lobster House...

at the foot

of Pier Nine.

Pier Nine. Units one,

seven alerted to Pier Nine.

That's us.

Helen!

Man in the water

by the buoy.

Over here!

Here!

Clear the streets of traffic.

Order citizens indoors.

Police cars on detail nine-one

will report to waterfront.

[Sirens]

The Gill Man is

loose in Jacksonville...

after kidnapping Miss Helen Dobson,

a science student.

It is believed the monster

may be on the prowl,

ready to attack others.

The police have requested

us to advise all citizens...

to remain indoors

until further notice.

It is suggested that

you keep all lights on...

as the creature seems not to

be able to stand bright light.

So I say to the old man,

"Why should I stay in school?

You never finished

and you're doing okay."

You can't get a job

without a college degree.

It's like my pop says it.

"A college degree is like a high

school diploma used to be."

He says... Hey.

What's that?

Looks like a body's

been washed ashore.

Think we'd better...

Yeah.

Is she all right?

She's alive.

[Gill Man Roars]

Aaah!

No! No!

[Man On Radio]

Car two-four, the report

from area 78 is incorrect.

Got it?

It is incorrect.

The Gill Man has not

been sighted in that area.

He could be headed

for Brazil by now.

Yeah.

The bodies of two men have

been found on the banks of

the SaintJohn's River.

Car one-nine investigate

bodies found near car

below Point Diego.

Could be him.

Let's go.

[Sirens]

Get a load of that.

There's another

one over there.

Look!

All emergency equipment is being

mobilized at Point Diego...

where the bodies of

two students, victims of

the Gill Man, were found.

So far there has been no

trace of Miss Helen Dobson,

the pretty, young scientist
