[Barking]

Adult Toni: ROCKPORT, MAINE, IS THE ONLY HOME I'VE EVER KNOWN.

I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT SPRING IN 1962.

MY FAMILY'S BIG ADVENTURE WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN.

DO YOU, MISS CLUCK CLUCK, TAKE WALTER PIGEON

TO LOVE, HONOR, AND OBEY

AS LONG AS FOREVER AND EVER?

[COOS]

COME ON.

[COOS]

WELL, DO YOU?

MISS CLUCK CLUCK, WAKE UP.

COME ON, IT'S YOUR WEDDING.

WELL,

I PRONOUNCE YOU MAN AND WIFE.

Adult Toni: ANY ANIMAL THAT HAD LOST ITS WAY

OR JUST NEEDED A FRIEND

WAS ALWAYS WELCOMED AT OUR HOUSE.

BUT THE ANIMALS WERE TAME

COMPARED TO MY BROTHER STEVE

AND MY SISTER PAULA.

I CANNOT BELIEVE

YOU WOULD EAT THOSE THINGS, PERIOD,

NEVER MIND FOR BREAKFAST.

SEE, THAT SHOWS HOW MUCH YOU KNOW.

RECENT STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT TWINKIES

HAVE A SHELF LIFE OF OVER 27 YEARS.

THEREFORE, IF I CONTINUE TO EAT A DAILY RATION

OF THESE GOLDEN, CREAM-FILLED DELIGHTS,

I COULD LIVE INDEFINITELY, YOU KNOW.

MMM...

HA HA!

MOM, WHERE'S DAD? I NEED HOT-LUNCH MONEY.

THERE ARE LUNCHES ALL MADE UP

IN THE FRIDGE, PAULA.

STEVE, HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR FATHER?

Adult Toni: DAD SAID MOM HAD THE PATIENCE OF JOB.

SHE WAS WIFE, LAWMAKER, ZOOKEEPER, AND MOTHER,

AND SHE WAS ALSO THE ONLY REAL GROWN-UP IN THE HOUSE.

JUST A SECOND.

OHH! HELLO?

MRS. McCANN, HOW ARE--

I SAW THEM CUTTING THROUGH MY BACKYARD AGAIN,

[GROWLING] WHICH IS TRESPASSING.

I'M VERY SORRY--

YOU PEOPLE ARE A MENACE.

THIS IS TONI'S REPORT CARD,

WHICH SHE CONVENIENTLY LEFT AT SCHOOL.

AND I DO NEED TO REMIND YOU

THAT TONI STILL DOES NOT PARTICIPATE IN CLASS

AND SHE DOES NOT JOIN IN

WITH THE OTHER CHILDREN AT RECESS.

[RUFF RUFF]

[GRRR]

Adult Toni: AND THEN THERE WAS DAD.

DO YOU SEE 'EM?

Dad: YEAH.

Adult Toni: HE WAS MY HERO.

HE HAD A SPECIAL WAY WITH ANIMALS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS MAGIC,

AND ALL THESE YEARS LATER, I'M CERTAIN OF IT.

YOU KNOW,

YOU WERE DOING THE RIGHT THING.

I MEAN,

IT'S ABOUT TIME THEY GOT HITCHED.

THE NEIGHBORS WERE STARTING TO TALK.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WENT WRONG WITH HIM AND HER?

WELL, MAYBE HIM AND HER AIN'T A HIM AND HER.

YOU MEAN, I PUT THE DRESS ON THE WRONG ONE?

WELL, WALTER WOULD KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT

THAN I WOULD.

Paula: OK, FINE. I GUESS YOU WANT ME

TO BE A SOCIAL OUTCAST

DAD, CAN I PLEASE HAVE MONEY FOR A HOT LUNCH?

Dad: WHAT DID YOUR MOM SAY?

SHOULDN'T YOU

BE ABOUT HALFWAY TO SCHOOL NOW YOURSELF?

I'M NOT GOING. I HATE SCHOOL.

WELL, I HATED SCHOOL, TOO.

HOWEVER, I'M GONNA BE LATE,

AND YOU'RE GONNA BE IN A WORLD OF MANURE

IF WE DON'T BOTH GET GOING, SO OFF YOU GO.

[GIGGLING]

Girl: ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL?

TONI'S GONNA LOVE IT.

OH, TONI, COME HERE.

YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS.

WOW, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!

JOEY BAILEY GAVE IT TO ME.

WE'RE GOING STEADY.

COME CLOSER

SO YOU CAN GET A BETTER LOOK.

HA HA HA HA. HA HA HA HA.

SETTLE DOWN!

CHATTERBOXES OFF, THINKING CAPS ON.

BRENDA GEORGE,

PLEASE COLLECT YESTERDAY'S SPELLING ASSIGNMENT.

AND I EXPECT TO SEE A GREAT IMPROVEMENT

OVER LAST WEEK.

REMEMBER, "I" BEFORE "E" EXCEPT AFTER "C,"

AND SOMETIMES "Y."

[MOURNFUL WHIMPER]

HERE.

HEY. HEY.

READY, HUH?

WELL, OH, HARRY, OH, THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

Man: YOU DON'T SAY?

YOU DON'T SAY?

YOU DON'T SAY?

[HANGS UP PHONE]

ALL RIGHT, ELLWYN, WHO WAS IT?

HE DIDN'T SAY.

DID YOU GET IT?

WE GET IT.

WE GOT IT THE FIRST TIME YOU DID IT,

WE GOT IT THE LAST 47 TIMES YOU DID IT.

IT AIN'T FUNNY.

YOU KNOW, I LAUGHED LIKE HELL WHEN I HEARD THAT JOKE.

ELLWYN, IT'S TEATIME.

COFFEE AND A BEAR CLAW.

Ellwyn: HEY, BETSY?

THAT'S MY NAME. DON'T WEAR IT OUT.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TOURIST AND A CANOE?

A CANOE TIPS.

GET A NEW JOKE, FOR PETE'S SAKE.

HARRY, YOU SEE THIS?

IT USED TO BE A FISHING NET.

A SEAL DONE IT.

AH, COME ON, BILLY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANYTHING.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN OUTBOARD MOTOR.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SHARK.

OH, IT WAS A SEAL, ALL RIGHT.

I CUT IT OUT MYSELF.

TIME WAS YOU COULD SHOOT A MAN

FOR STEALING YOUR CATCH.

I GOT NO PROBLEM SHOOTING SEALS.

I'M WARNING YOU, HARRY,

YOU'RE THE HARBORMASTER,

YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING.

NOW, BILLY...

BILLY, WAIT A SECOND.

LISTEN, DON'T GO DO SOMETHING STUPID, HUH?

LOOK, YOU'RE WASTING YOUR BREATH, HARRY.

STUPID IS HIS MIDDLE NAME.

DOWN IN PINE HARBOR,

THEY JUST WENT DOWN TO THE HAUL-OUTS

AND BLEW THEM ALL AWAY.

WELL, THAT'S JUST CRAZY AND CRUEL.

LOOK, I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE HAVING A BAD SEASON,

BUT IT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH SEALS.

WELL, WHAT IS IT?

I DON'T KNOW,

BUT I GUARANTEE YOU IT AIN'T SEALS.

TONI.

I FOUND A SICK FROG, DAD. CAN YOU FIX HIM?

WELL, I HAVEN'T HAD MUCH LUCK FIXING STUFF TODAY,

BUT LET'S HAVE A LOOK.

[CROAKING]

SOME KID AT SCHOOL

WAS WINGING HIM AROUND BY HIS LEG,

AND I THINK IT'S BROKEN.

WELL, WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO, HUH?

OH, YEAH, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU,

MISS CLUCK CLUCK CAME HOME.

OH. THAT SHOULD MAKE WALTER PIGEON VERY HAPPY.

NOT REALLY. SHE'S NOT SPEAKING TO HIM.

OH.

[ROOSTER CROWS]

[MUSIC PLAYS]

MMM!

TAKE IT OUTSIDE.

[BAAAA]

STEVE, TRY THIS.

MMM, NO, THAT ONE IS NOT FOR THE BOOK, MOM.

I'LL EAT IT, MRS. WHITNEY.

THANKS, GERALD.

SEE, YOUR FRIENDS LIKE MY COOKING.

UH-OH! QUICK, SOMEBODY CALL THE HAIR POLICE!

I WANT TO MAKE A CITIZEN'S ARREST.

MOM, DON'T YOU THINK I LOOK LIKE LESLEY GORE?

HA HA! OH, YOU GOT THE GORE PART, ALL RIGHT.

OH, YOU'RE SO FUNNY, I FORGOT TO LAUGH.

YOU'D LAUGH IF YOU LOOKED IN THE MIRROR, YOU KNOW.

HA HA HA. PEABRAIN.

OH, I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?

"I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?"

ENOUGH! LEAVE ME ALONE!

MOM!

LESLEY GORE. OK, LESLEY GORE--

ENOUGH!

THE NEXT PERSON WHO MAKES A NOISE

IN THIS KITCHEN

IS IN THE DOGHOUSE, AND I MEAN IT.

[DOG BREAKS WIND, WHIMPERS]

HA HA HA HA. HA HA HA HA.

HA HA HA HA. HA HA HA HA.

OUT!

[CLUCKING]

MORNING, EVERYBODY.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING, HONEY.

GERALD, WHAT A SURPRISE TO SEE YOU HERE AT MEALTIME.

[SNIFF SNIFF] PHEW! WHAT'S THAT SMELL?

HA HA HA HA. HA HA HA HA.

IT SURE AIN'T BACON AND EGGS.

SORRY I'M LATE FOR BREAKFAST.

MMM, IT'S BEEN SUCH A PLEASANT ONE SO FAR.

PAULA, WHAT DO YOU GOT THERE?

IT'S MY SCIENCE PROJECT.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO STUDY

THE LOWEST FORM OF LIFE I COULD FIND,

BUT STEVE WOULDN'T FIT IN A CAGE,

SO I HAD TO USE A RAT INSTEAD.

OH, YOU'RE FUNNY.

HA HA. MORON.

OH, YEAH, I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?

I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?

YOU SCARE ME, YOU LOSER--

HEY, DAD, LOOK.

UH-HUH.

[FROG CROAKS]

I'M TAKING PRINCE CHARMING IN FOR SHOW AND TELL TODAY.

OH, HELLO, PRINCE.

[RRRBBTT]

MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T KISS THE TEACHER.

SHE MIGHT TURN INTO A TOAD.

OH, IT'S TOO LATE.

[RRRBBTT]

Boy: SO AFTER THEY TOLD US UNCLE EARL WAS DEAD,

WE HAD TO GO TO THE FUNERAL PARLOR,

WHERE THEY HAD HIM LAID OUT.

UNCLE EARL USED TO BE A BOXER,

BUT NOW HE'S A FIREMAN.

BUT THEY BURIED HIM IN HIS BOXING SHOES ANYWAYS.

I KNOW BECAUSE MY BROTHER DANNY,

HE LIFTED UP THE LOWER PART OF THE COFFIN

AND WE SEEN 'EM.

AND THEN AUNT EDNA GOT REAL MAD AT DANNY AND ME,

BUT SHE DIDN'T HIT US 'CAUSE SHE WAS GOOD AND DRUNK.

ANYWAY, THE COPS FINALLY CAME

AND TOOK HER AWAY IN A STRAITJACKET,

RIGHT TO THE STATE LOONY BIN IN JACKSON.

THAT'S AN INTERESTING STORY, BOBBY, BUT, UM,

WHY DON'T WE GIVE SOMEONE ELSE A TURN

AT SHOW AND TELL?

UH, MARY, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SHARE WITH US?

THIS IS A HAWAIIAN LEI FROM THE ISLAND OF HAWAII.

MY COUSIN ROBERT BROUGHT IT BACK

FROM HIS TRIP TO THE SOUTH PACIFIC.

THE FLOWERS IN IT ARE BLUE AND ORANGE,

'CAUSE MY FAVORITE COLOR IS BLUE,

AND MY BEST FRIEND ELIZABETH'S FAVORITE COLOR IS ORANGE.

MY MOTHER SAYS I'M NOT TO LET ANYONE ELSE WEAR IT.

TONI, DON'T YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW US TODAY?

[RRRBBTT]

I GOT TO POST THESE NEW TITLE CHARTS UP

AT THE LOBSTER POUND.

DID YOU GET THE LUMBER AND TAR FOR THE DOCK REPAIRS?

YEAH, YEAH, I DID.

MORNING. MORNING, HARRY.

MORNING, BILLY.

BILLY.

NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO, BILLY.

YOU HAVE A NICE DAY, NOW, HUH?

YOU HORSE'S ASS.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD,

I'M GIVING UP TRYING TO FIGURE THAT GUY OUT.

UH, OH, WELL,

WHEN THE FISH AREN'T BITING--

HEY, I'M THE HARBORMASTER, NOT MOTHER NATURE.

OOH,

JEEZ.

IT'S COLDER THAN A WELL DIGGER'S BUTT OUT HERE.

I'D SAY IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR A COFFEE NOW.

[SEAL BARKING]

COME ON.

COME ON, TAKE IT.

Wife: HARRY,

YOU IN THERE?

YEAH.

HAVE YOU SEEN MY SEARS CATALOGUE?

UH, YEAH, I THINK IT'S IN THE BATHROOM.

WELL, WE'VE GOT TO ORDER A NEW TYPEWRITER,

OR I'LL NEVER GET THAT COOKBOOK FINISHED.

HONEY, THE SWEATER. COME ON.

AND CAN WE PLEASE, PLEASE, OHH, PLEASE,

CLEAN OUT THIS BARN?

WE SAY WE'RE GOING TO DO IT EVERY SPRING,

AND WE NEVER--

AND LOOK, YOU COULD MAKE ME A NICE,

NEW OFFICE DOWN HERE.

[BARKS] Harry: UH, GOOD IDEA.

I'M SERIOUS.

ME, TOO.

AND ALL THIS JUNK IN HERE,

WE'VE GOT TO GET RID OF IT.

AND THAT OLD TUB, THAT'S GOING RIGHT NOW--

OH, MOM!

WHAT?

UH, UH, YOU MISSED IT.

I MISSED WHAT?

UM...

A RED AND WHITE SPOTTED HOOT OWL.

A FRUIT BAT.

YEAH, A BAT.

UH-HUH.

DON'T YOU HAVE SOME HOMEWORK, YOUNG LADY?

WELL, I'M--I'M...

I'M GONNA STAY DOWN HERE AND HELP DAD.

SPELL "MISSISSIPPI."

UM...

"I"...UM...

OH, WHO CARES, MOM? I LIVE IN MAINE.

INSIDE.

NEAT, DAD.

HE CAME RIGHT UP TO THE BOAT.

I SWEAR HE WAS GONNA JUMP RIGHT IN.

[BARKING]

HE'S SICK.

DO YOU THINK HE LOST HIS MOMMY?

WELL, PROBABLY HASN'T EATEN IN A WHILE.

I CAN'T GET HIM TO TAKE THE BOTTLE.

COME ON.

IT HELPS IF YOU HEAT THE MILK.

WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO REALIZE

I SEE ALL, I KNOW ALL.

LOOK, I'M JUST GONNA WEAN HIM

AND THEN I'LL LET HIM GO, I PROMISE.

WHEN HAVE I HEARD THAT BEFORE?

AND YOU, YOUNG LADY, BACK TO YOUR ROOM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GO ON.

[BARKING]

� I KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW �

WANT TO KNOW? NO.

IT'S REAL NEAT.

THERE'S A BABY SEAL IN THE BARN.

LET'S CALL HIM MOBY, 'CAUSE HE COMES FROM THE SEA.

SO DOES SEAWEED, DUH.

HOW ABOUT WE CALL HIM MARKY?

OH, AND THAT WOULD AS IN MARKY BAKER?

AS IN, "OH, HE'S SO CUTE!"

AS IN MY DIARY,

THAT'S AN INVASION OF MY PRIVACY!

I COULD SUE YOU!

HEY, NOBODY IS GOING TO SUE ANYBODY, PAULA.

LET'S WASH UP FOR SUPPER, COME ON.

[BARKS]

YOU, TOO, MISSY. COME ON. HUP, 2.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S JUST NO INFORMATION

ABOUT HOW TO NURSE A PUP.

HARRY, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

THE FISHERMEN ARE TRYING TO GET RID OF THEM

AND HERE YOU'RE GONNA ADOPT ONE?

WELL, LET ME WORRY ABOUT THE FISHERMEN.

AND WHAT ABOUT TONI?

SHE'S ALREADY ATTACHED.

WHAT IF HE DIES?

WHAT IF YOU CAN'T GET HIM TO EAT?

HARRY, I LOVE ANIMALS AS MUCH AS YOU DO,

YOU KNOW THAT. BUT SOMETIMES,

YOU JUST HAVE TO LET NATURE TAKE ITS COURSE.

NATURE DID TAKE ITS COURSE.

YOU BETTER GET HIM TO DOC McINTYRE.

I KNOW YOU'RE SAD AND YOU MISS YOUR MOM,

BUT PLEASE DON'T DIE.

I'LL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND FOREVER...

AND I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU ALWAYS,

I PROMISE.

AND I LOVE YOU.

TONI...

LOOK AT THIS.

WHAT'S THAT?

WELL, SEALS GO AROUND ON THEIR BELLIES,

SO THEIR NIPPLES ARE INVERTED,

SO I TOOK THIS OLD BUCKET

AND CUT A HOLE IN IT,

PUT IN SOME BABY BOTTLE NIPPLES,

AND COVERED IT IN OLD WET SUIT MATERIAL,

AND, UH, PRESTO, ARTIFICIAL MOTHER...

I HOPE.

[SUCKLING]

Toni: DAD, WAKE UP.

DAD, LOOK.

WELL, I'LL BE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD CALL HIM?

HMM...

HOW ABOUT ANDRE?

ANDRE?

OK, ANDRE IT IS.

[GRRR]

[SLURPING]

[SLURPING]

[BELCHES]

[GRRRR]

I'M SICK OF THIS. LET'S WATCH A GAME.

[BLOWING RASPBERRY]

OK, IT'S FINE.

Adult Toni: THE OLD TUB BECAME ANDRE'S HOME UNTIL SPRING.

EVERYBODY WAS HAPPY, EXCEPT FOR TOOT.

[CHICKEN CLUCKS]

Harry: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANDRE.

[BARKING]

Adult Toni: AFTER A YEAR,

WE STILL COULDN'T CONVINCE ANDRE THAT HE WAS A SEAL...

AND MY FATHER THAT HE WASN'T ONE.

COME ON.

ANDRE, COME ON IN. THE WATER'S FINE.

[ANDRE BARKING]

Harry: COME ON.

WHAT ARE YOU, A SEAL OR A MOUSE?

POOHH!

WHO DO I LOOK LIKE, NELSON ROCKEFELLER?

DIDN'T I JUST GET YOU A GUN FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?

I THOUGHT YOU'D BE HUNTIN' UP A STORM WITH IT,

BUT YOU AIN'T BARELY TOUCHED IT.

I NEED A NEW BASEBALL GLOVE, OR I CAN'T PLAY.

THE OLD ONE DOESN'T EVEN FIT.

WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE, I DIDN'T DARE ASK MY FATHER

FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T NEED.

Man: DAD, CAST OFF THE STERN!

Man: GET THE OTHER TRAPS.

GOT YOUR LUNCH, BOY?

[BELL RINGS]

HI, MARK.

HI, PAULA.

[BELL RINGS]

CLASS, I'VE ALLOWED TONI WHITNEY...

TO BRING IN SOMETHING THAT SHE CONSIDERS

VERY SPECIAL FOR SHOW AND TELL.

THIS IS THE NEWEST MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY.

[RAWK]

HE CAME TO US FROM THE WILD,

AND I NAMED HIM ANDRE AFTER A FAMOUS SEAL TRAINER.

HE'S MY BEST FRIEND,

AND OUR FAVORITE COLOR IS BLUE.

[ARRHH]

BIG DEAL.

[BLOWS RASPBERRIES]

[CHILDREN LAUGH]

ANDRE!

[LAUGHTER]

[SNORTING AND CHATTERING]

Toni: BE FRIENDS!

[ARF]

[CHILDREN CHUCKLING]

[ANDRE ROARS]

[ARF ARF ARF]

AIN'T WAITIN' FOR NO GO-AHEAD FROM NOBODY.

POPPED OFF 2 MORE OF 'EM JUST THIS MORNIN'.

WELL, IF IT AIN'T ROCKPORT'S VERY OWN HARBORMASTER.

I BEEN OUT THERE ALL DAY, EVERY DAY,

AND I AIN'T SEEN HIM ONCE THIS WEEK.

YEP. AND I ALMOST RAN AGROUND

OFF ROUND BAY 'CAUSE HE DIDN'T

REPLACE THE LIGHT IN THE BUOY.

GOT A SEAL FOR A PET.

LOOK, GUYS, I JUST WANTED TO GET HIM STRONG ENOUGH,

AND BACK TO THE WILD HE'LL GO.

Toni, sobbing: IT'S NOT FAIR.

I PROMISED HIM WHEN HE GOT BETTER

THAT I WOULD TAKE CARE OF HIM.

HE'S MY BEST FRIEND.

ME AND HIM ARE BEST FRIENDS.

I KNOW, SWEETIE.

ANDRE KNOWS HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HIM.

BUT SOMETIMES, WHEN YOU REALLY LOVE SOMEONE,

YOU HAVE TO LET THEM GO.

AND HE BELONGS IN THE WILD.

HE DOES.

MOM...

HE'LL DIE.

[SNIFFLES]

WANT TO COME ALONG?

I'LL BET ANDRE'D LIKE IT IF YOU DID.

[ANDRE BARKS]

[RAHRR]

[ARF]

I FOUND HIM OUT NEAR ROBINSON'S ROCK.

MAYBE HE'LL FEEL AT HOME OUT THERE, HUH?

TONI. CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

I MEAN REALLY KEEP A SECRET?

[BLENDER WHIRS]

TONI, SINCE WHEN DO YOU LIKE HERRING?

AND, HARRY, WHY IS THERE HERRING IN THE FRIDGE?

OH, IT'S JUST FOR A FRIEND.

A BAD-SMELLING, FISH-EATING, RASPBERRY-BLOWING FRIEND?

GOOD GUESS, MOM.

[GIGGLES]

"ANDRE WILL BECOME A REAL CELEBRITY THIS FALL

"IF HE ACCEPTS ED SULLIVAN'S OFFER

"TO APPEAR ON HIS SHOW.

"NOW, TO CATCH ANDRE'S PERFORMANCE,

BE AT ROCKPORT TOWN WHARF AT 7:30."

WELL. SO, HARRY,

HOW ABOUT AN AUTOGRAPH?

NO. ANDRE'S THE CELEBRITY,

NOT ME.

NO KIDDIN'? ED SULLIVAN.

HOW MANY CLAMS YOU GET FOR DOIN' THAT?

OOH. YEAH.

HEH HEH HEH.

Operator: DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES.

UH, YEAH. UM...

WHO'S YOUR CHIEF ENFORCEMENT OFFICER?

UH, JACK ADAMS.

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO HIM.

ALL RIGHT. JUST A MOMENT.

HARRY WHITNEY?

THAT'S ME. YOU A REPORTER?

NO. THIS IS JACK ADAMS

FROM NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE.

YOU'RE IN VIOLATION OF A FEDERAL LAW.

YEAH, I KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT LAW.

THEN WHY ARE YOU BREAKING IT?

WELL, THE FACT IS,

ANDRE'S HERE BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BE.

OH, YEAH?

WHAT'D YOU DO, ASK HIM?

NO. I LET HIM GO, AND HE CAME BACK.

THAT'S NOT WHAT OUR SOURCES SAY.

WELL, IT'S THE TRUTH.

LOOK, I CAN EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.

YEAH, WELL, YOU BETTER, MR. WHITNEY,

'CAUSE OTHERWISE, WE'RE GONNA TAKE YOUR ANIMAL,

AND YOU'RE GONNA BE THE ONE IN CAPTIVITY.

DAD! DAD! COME QUICK!

[ANDRE CHATTERING]

[GIGGLING] [CHUCKLING]

[TONI LAUGHS]

Adams: ALL RIGHT. I'M GONNA HAVE TO REPORT THIS.

YOU CAN'T REPORT HIM.

HE'S GOTTA PLAY SECOND BASE

FOR THE RED SOX.

HA HA HA HA HA!

HI, PAULA.

HI, MARK.

HAVEN'T SEEN YOU AROUND MUCH.

UM...YOU WANT TO SIGN MY YEARBOOK?

WHY SHOULD I?

WELL, CAN I SIGN YOURS?

[BELL RINGS]

I'M GONNA ENTER

THE FOURTH OF JULY MISS LIBERTY CONTEST.

OH, YEAH?

YEP.

BET YOU'LL WIN.

THANKS.

[GIGGLES]

SO IT MUST BE PRETTY NEAT BEING AN ONLY CHILD.

I DON'T KNOW.

MY DAD AND I USED TO DO LOTS OF THINGS TOGETHER.

BUT NOW IT'S JUST TONI AND THAT STUPID SEAL.

IT'S LIKE I'M NOT EVEN THERE.

� YOU FELT IT, TOO �

DO YOU LIKE YOUR DAD?

� BY THE LOOK IN YOUR EYE... �

HE'S OK, I GUESS.

HE WAS BETTER BEFORE MY MOM HAD TO...

HAD TO GO AWAY.

BUT HE'S NOT PREJUDICED, YOU KNOW.

HE HATES EVERYBODY.

HA HA HA.

� WHENEVER I HOLD YOU TIGHT �

� THIS MAGIC MOMENT �

� WHILE YOUR LIPS ARE CLOSE TO MINE �

� WILL LAST FOREVER �

� FOREVER TILL THE END OF TIME �

OW!

[CLUCKING]

Man: HA HA HA! COME ON, PLAY!

Boy: I CAN'T FIND IT!

Man: ALL RIGHT.

Girl: GAIL?

Man: NO, HE'S STILL FIDDLIN' WITH THOSE...

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

IT'S LIKE...

I CAN TELL HIM TO DO SOMETHING,

AND THEN I CHANGE MY VOICE COMPLETELY,

AND HE STILL DOES EXACTLY THE SAME THING.

LET ME TELL YA,

THEY'RE A LOT SMARTER THAN DOGS.

UH...SOME DOGS.

[RUFF]

[BURPING]

OH, EXCUSE ME.

[BURPS]

YOU THINK HE UNDERSTANDS WORDS THEN, HARRY?

Woman: YEAH, RIGHT.

OK, OK, I KNOW YOU THINK I'M A NUT,

BUT SEEMS LIKE HE'S GOT SOME KIND

OF BUILT-IN SONAR.

I MEAN, HE CAN HEAR AND FEEL STUFF

THAT'S MILES AWAY. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

Man: HMM. I'LL SAY.

[WOMAN LAUGHS]

HURRY UP!

YEAH!

GIVE IT TO ME.

MR. WHITNEY. COME QUICK.

THERE--THERE'S A PROBLEM DOWN AT THE HARBOR.

WHAT?

IT'S WITH ANDRE.

WELL, YOU'LL BE BACK ON TIME

FOR THE MISS LIBERTY PAGEANT, RIGHT?

I WOULDN'T MISS IT FOR THE WORLD.

OK.

[ARF ARF]

[ARF ARF ARF]

[ANDRE CHATTERS]

[RAHRR]

[BLOWING RASPBERRIES]

CAREFUL, HARRY.

HE'S AS MAD AS A HORNET

AND DRUNK AS A SKUNK, TOO.

YEAH, MY FAVORITE COMBINATION.

BILLY!

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOIN?!

UHH!

I WARNED YOU, BUT YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ME.

UHHH!

UHH! UHH!

WOULD YOU LISTEN TO ME?! I'M TELLIN' YOU,

ANDRE'S GOT NOTHIN' TO DO WITH YOUR CATCH!

COME ON, BILLY! WE GREW UP TOGETHER!

I DIDN'T LIKE YOU THEN, EITHER!

UHH!

AH! COME ON, NOW. YOU'RE DRUNK.

LET'S JUST GO GET A CUP OF COFFEE

AND TALK IT OVER, HUH? COME ON!

I COULD TAKE YOU WITH MY EYES CLOSED!

YAAHH!

[PANTING]

BUT YOU'RE NOT WORTH THE ENERGY.

[YAHH YAHH]

COME ON, ANDRE.

[MMMM]

COME ON!

COME ON, ANDRE. LET'S GO HOME.

COME ON, LET'S GO HOME.

ANDRE, COME ON.

I'M NOT KIDDIN' AROUND NOW. LET'S GO.

[SPLASH]

ALL RIGHT, FIND YOUR OWN WAY HOME.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

[FANFARE]

[APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]

[WHISTLING]

OW! OW!

[SIGHS]

YOU KNOW, I DON'T GET IT.

I'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO BILLY.

AND IF I'M NICE, IT JUST GETS HIM MORE TICKED OFF.

WELL, BILLY'S NOT YOUR ONLY PROBLEM.

WHAT?

BRING ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR...

[SIGHS]

I FORGOT.

YOU REALLY MESSED UP THIS TIME, HARRY.

[KNOCK KNOCK]

PAULA?

Toni: SHE'S MAD AT YOU.

PAULA, I'M SORRY I MISSED YOUR PAGEANT.

BUT ANDRE WAS IN TROUBLE.

SHE'S NOT SPEAKING TO YOU.

TONI, I THINK WE CAN DO

WITHOUT THE RUNNING COMMENTARY.

YOU LIKE THAT STUPID ANDRE MORE THAN ME.

HEY, ANDRE'S NOT STUPID! YOU'RE STUPID!

SHUT UP. HEY, HEY.

THAT'S ENOUGH.

IT'S NOT FAIR.

YOU PROMISED.

DIDN'T EVEN GO.

HOW CAN I MAKE IT UP TO YOU?

YOU CAN'T.

WELL...

IT'S BEEN A BIG DAY FOR EVERYBODY.

GET SOME REST.

TOMORROW'S A BRAND-NEW DAY.

SLEEP.

Harry: GOOD NIGHT.

I HATE ANDRE.

JUST SHUT UP!

I WISH HE'D GO AWAY.

SHUT...UP.

OH, COME ON, PAULA.

I KNOW IF YOU GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER,

YOU'D BE FRIENDS.

I DON'T WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH HIM, TONI.

OH, IT'S NOT SO BAD. COME ON.

COME ON, PAULA.

I KNOW YOU CAN LOVE HIM, TOO.

[ARF]

[PFFT]

HEY, ANDRE. LOOK WHO IT IS.

IT'S PAULA.

[ARF ARF]

[ARRRFFF ARHH]

AAH!

OH, YOU STUPID SEAL!

NICE GOIN', ANDRE.

[WHIMPERING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ON TV]

Announcer: VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

[BLOWING RASPBERRIES]

AAH!

[ARRHH ARRHH ARRHH]

AAAAHHHH! [ARRFF]

[MRS. McCANN ON PHONE]

MM-HMM. UH,

COULD YOU HOLD ON JUST ONE SECOND?

IT'S MRS. McCANN. APPARENTLY, ANDRE

MADE AN UNSCHEDULED STOP ON HIS WAY HOME.

[ANGRY CHATTER]

HARRY!

Mrs. McCANN: I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE!

Adult Toni: AFTER THE MRS. McCANN INCIDENT,

MOM FIGURED ANDRE WAS WATCHING TOO MUCH TELEVISION.

BUT I'M NOT SURE ANDRE SHARED HER OPINION.

FALL ARRIVED...

WHICH MEANT BACK TO SCHOOL.

ANDRE WAS NOT TOO HAPPY, AND HE FOUND WAYS TO SHOW IT.

[CHATTERING]

SORRY, ANDRE, BUT I CAN'T PLAY 'CAUSE I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL.

[BLOWING RASPBERRIES]

HA HA! YEAH, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN THINKIN'.

WHEN I GROW UP,

YOU AND ME CAN TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD.

AND WE'LL NEVER HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL.

AND WE WON'T NEED ANYBODY.

WELL, MAYBE MOM AND DAD CAN VISIT, AND, UH, STEVE.

BUT NOT PAULA.

[PFFTT]

OK, PAULA CAN COME,

BUT ONLY IF SHE'S NICE TO US.

WELL, GOTTA GO.

JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU MY NEW FALL COAT.

OH, NO!

LOOK WHAT YOU JUST DID.

NOW I'M GONNA GET IT.

THAT WAS BAD, ANDRE! BAD BOY!

JEEZ. IT'S COLDER THAN BLUE BLAZES OUT THERE.

YEAH.

WHERE THE HELL DID SUMMER GO?

I THOUGHT ANDRE WOULD'VE BEEN SWIMMING SOUTH BY NOW.

YEAH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO ABOUT THAT.

I MEAN, IT SCARES ME TO DEATH

HE MIGHT'VE GOT TOO ATTACHED TO THIS PLACE

TO MOVE SOUTH FOR THE WINTER.

HE'S STILL PRETTY MUCH OF A PUP, YOU KNOW.

THIS HARBOR FREEZES OVER WELL.

YEP. I EXPECT THOSE ICE FLOES

COULD SQUISH A SEAL PUP'S HEAD LIKE A GRAPE.

REAL NICE, GRIFF.

WELL, YOU BOYS LOOK GREAT.

NOW, NO TRICKING, AND I MEAN IT.

BYE, HON.

SEE YA.

[CLUCKING]

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

THIS COULD BE BIG TROUBLE, GROUNDED TILL CHRISTMAS.

BUT IT'S WORTH IT.

YEAH.

OK.

THEY'RE A DISGRACE AND A MENACE...

MRS. Mc--MRS. McCANN?

[DIAL TONE]

[BANGS PHONE DOWN]

STEVE!

GET DOWN HERE NOW!

YOU ARE IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE.

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP, AND I MEAN NOW.

OH, DAD, IT WAS HILARIOUS.

I MEAN, YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN HER YELLIN'. HA HA!

YOU ARE GROUNDED FOR A WEEK.

YOU WILL DO EVERY BIT OF YARD WORK

THAT MRS. McCANN NEEDS FROM NOW ON FOREVER. YOU GOT IT?!

JEEZ, DAD,

YOU USED TO THINK THIS STUFF WAS FUNNY.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[SIGHS]

IT WAS SO EASY WHEN THEY WERE LITTLE.

ALL I HAD TO DO

WAS CARRY 'EM AROUND ON MY SHOULDER,

AND I WAS THEIR HERO.

WELL, THEY'RE NOT LITTLE ANYMORE.

LIKE IT OR NOT, THEY'RE GROWING UP.

DID YOU KNOW STEVE GOT A WEEKEND JOB

ON DANNY SNOW'S FISHING BOAT?

WHY DIDN'T HE TALK TO ME ABOUT IT?

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE WANTED TO FISH.

HARRY, OPEN YOUR EYES.

THERE'S A LOT YOU DON'T KNOW.

I'M SORRY, ANDRE.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO YELL AT YOU.

IT'S JUST THAT IT WAS A NEW COAT,

AND I'M ALWAYS LOSING BUTTONS AND MITTENS AND STUFF.

NOBODY WILL BELIEVE ME THAT YOU TOOK IT.

ANDRE, COME HOME. PLEASE.

ANDRE! WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT MRS. McCANN?!

[BRRTT]

WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH YOU?

Adult Toni: IN JANUARY, THE HARBOR FROZE OVER,

SO DAD BUILT A HOME FOR ANDRE IN THE BARN.

HE WAS AFRAID THAT ANDRE COULDN'T PROTECT HIMSELF

IN THE WILD BECAUSE HE'D BEEN AROUND PEOPLE TOO LONG.

BUT THE WINTER WEATHER GREW BLEAKER,

AND SO DID ANDRE'S SPIRIT.

HE STILL NOT EATIN'?

WELL, LET'S TRY HIM HALIBUT.

THANKS.

Mom: HARRY? YOU REMEMBER JACK ADAMS?

YEAH. HI.

OH.

I'D SAY THIS CONSTITUTES CAPTIVITY,

MR. WHITNEY.

WOULDN'T YOU AGREE?

LOOK, I'M JUST TRYING TO KEEP HIM SAFE.

I CAN'T LET HIM GO. IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.

I'M NOT ASKING YOU NOW. I'M TELLING YOU.

YOU COMPLY WITH REGULATIONS,

OR THIS ANIMAL GETS TAKEN BY THE AGENCY,

AND YOU WILL FACE US IN COURT.

NO! [THUD]

OOH! Mom: TONI!

Steve: YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY, PAULA!

Paula: MOM!

JEEZ, HARRY.

CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY YOU'RE SO INTERESTED IN CRITTERS

WHEN YOU GOT YOURSELF A WHOLE PACK OF WILD ONES

AT HOME.

HE TOOK MY RECORD!

JERK! GET MY RECORD BACK!

ANDRE?

ANDRE?

DAD!

YOU KNEW HE HATED THE BARN.

YOU KNEW HE'D RUN AWAY.

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT. NOW HE'S GONE.

UH...

YOU TELL HIM.

Adult Toni: WHEN ANDRE DIDN'T COME HOME THAT NIGHT,

I CRIED MYSELF TO SLEEP.

ALL THAT WINTER, WE KEPT HOPING AND PRAYING

THAT HE'D SHOW UP, BUT HE DIDN'T.

AND EVERY DAY, MY HEART GREW HEAVIER.

BUT NOT ANDRE.

SMILE FOR THE CAMERA. THAT'S IT.

VERY GOOD.

WHY? BECAUSE OF A SEAL NAMED ANDRE

WHO HAS CHOSEN TO REMAIN WITH HIS ADOPTED FAMILY

OVER LIFE IN THE WILD.

Harry: HOW ABOUT A HUG, HUH?

A BIG HUG. A BIG HUG.

All: AW!

YEAH. OKAY, DAN, I'LL TELL HIM.

HARRY, THAT WAS DAN SNOW.

HE SAYS HE LOST HIS MOORING

AND HE NEEDS YOU TO DIVE FOR IT.

YOU DON'T SAY.

THANKS, ELLWYN.

RIGHT. SEE YOU LATER, HARRY.

YOU'RE ONE LUCKY SON OF A GUN, WHITNEY.

YOU ALMOST BECAME ITTY-BITTY FISH BAIT.

YEAH, SAYS WHO?

THE COAST GUARD. IT WAS ACTIVE.

SOME KIND OF EXPLOSIVE FROM WHO KNOWS WHERE.

NO KIDDING. HUH.

I THOUGHT HE'D GONE NUTTY.

HE WAS TRYING TO WARN ME.

WELL, HE CAN READ NOW?

WITHOUT MOVING HIS LIPS.

HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN ASTRONAUT, HARRY.

YEAH, FIRST SEAL ON THE MOON.

[ALL LAUGH]

HEY.

HI, BUDDY.

I GUESS I OWE YOU ONE, DON'T I?

[BARKS]

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME, ANDRE?

WHAT?

[BARKS]

[BIRDS SINGING]

[COUGHING]

[COUGHING]

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING?

NOTHING, DAD.

GIVE IT HERE.

GIVE IT HERE.

THAT'S IT, PAULA, YOU'RE GROUNDED FOR A WEEK.

AND YOU, GET OUT OF HERE NOW.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU BACK HERE EVER.

LOOK, MR. WHITNEY, I'M SORRY.

YOU'RE SORRY, ALL RIGHT.

AND YOU'RE NOT FIT TO BE AROUND MY DAUGHTER.

YEAH? WELL, MY DAD SAYS THAT--

HE SAYS THAT YOU'RE NOT FIT TO BE HARBORMASTER.

WHAT?

HE ALSO SAYS THAT--

THAT YOU'RE A BIG JERK!

YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM, PAULA. I MEAN IT.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM!

YEAH, LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON.

OH, DEAR!

HE IS SO UNFAIR!

HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ME!

OH, OF COURSE HE DOES.

HE LOVES YOU VERY MUCH.

HE JUST HAS HIS WAY OF SHOWING IT.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WERE BORN,

HE TRIED TO TAKE A FRONT PAGE AD

OUT IN THE NEWSPAPER.

I'M NOT KIDDING. AND HE WAS SO MAD

WHEN THEY PUT YOU ON THE 11th PAGE

WITH ALL THE OTHER BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS.

OH, PAULA, HE WAS SO PROUD OF YOU.

HE STILL IS.

NO, HE'S NOT.

HE DOESN'T CARE AT ALL.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU ALWAYS STAND UP FOR HIM.

I HATE HIM! OH, I HATE HIM!

DON'T--DON'T YOU EVER, EVER

SAY THAT ABOUT YOUR FATHER AGAIN!

DO YOU HEAR ME, YOUNG LADY?

Adult Toni: WELL, PAULA DIDN'T LEAVE.

AND BY THE TIME THE FIRST SNOW FELL,

DAD WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH MORE THAN JUST MY SISTER.

HEY, STEVE. HOW'S IT GOIN'?

HEY, DAN SNOW SAYS YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB

HELPING HIM OUT.

I'M PROUD OF YOU, SON. I'M REAL PROUD.

DAD, THE GUYS ARE VOTING YOU OUT NEXT ELECTION.

OH, NOT YOU, TOO.

THEY DON'T THINK YOU LOOK OUT

FOR THEIR INTERESTS AT ALL.

I MEAN, YOU DON'T CHECK MOORINGS.

YOU NEVER SET PRICES.

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU CALLED A MEETING, DAD?

THEY HARDLY EVER SEE YOU.

I GOTTA HEAR ABOUT IT ALL DAY.

LOOK, I DON'T NEED THIS FROM A 15-YEAR-OLD.

I'M 16, DAD!

16!

STEVE!

LOOK, YOU KNOW I'M NOT JUST PLAYING AROUND OUT THERE.

I MEAN, SOMETHING LIKE THIS JUST--

IT NEVER COMES ALONG.

WELL, ACCORDING TO JACK ADAMS,

YOU COULD GO TO JAIL.

NOBODY'S GONNA PUT ME IN JAIL.

HARRY, YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE YOUR JOB.

WHAT I'M LEARNING FROM ANDRE

COULD COMPLETELY CHANGE THE WAY

PEOPLE THINK ABOUT WILD ANIMALS,

MAYBE EVEN SAVE LIVES.

AND WHAT ABOUT YOUR KIDS' LIVES?

WHAT ABOUT MY LIFE?

THALICE.

THALICE.

OK. OK.

I'LL GIVE HIM UP. I'LL CALL JACK ADAMS.

HE CAN PICK HIM UP TOMORROW.

I'LL PUT HIM IN THE AQUARIUM.

LISTEN.

DON'T SAY ANYTHING YET, OK?

LET ME FIGURE OUT A WAY TO TELL TONI.

I LOVE YOU.

YEAH, I LOVE YOU, TOO.

HEY, TONI, LISTEN,

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING

AND I NEED YOU TO TRY--

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

HELLO?

YEAH, GRIFF.

YEAH.

YEAH.

HE'S A PROBLEM FOR THE FISHERMEN.

I KNOW. HE'S THE CAUSE OF EVERYBODY'S TROUBLES.

I WISH HE'D JUST SWIM AWAY.

MAYBE HE JUST NEEDS SOME HELP.

I KNOW HOW WE CAN MAKE HIM GO AWAY.

[ANDRE BARKS]

SO HE'LL NEVER COME BACK.

NEVER?

HMPHF. NO KIDDING.

YEAH, I HAD A FEELING IT WAS HIM.

YEAH, THANKS, GRIFF.

WHAT?

BILLY BAKER'S THE ONE WHO'S BEEN SICKING

THOSE MAMMAL PROTECTION FEDS ON ME.

HARRY, KEEP YOUR COOL.

THAT IS IT. I'M HAVING IT OUT WITH HIM ONCE AND FOR ALL.

[ANDRE BARKS]

ANDRE!

Radio: SEVERE SMALL CRAFT WARNINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED...

MOM, PAULA AND MARK JUST TOOK OFF IN THE BOAT

AND THEY GOT ANDRE. THEY STOLE HIM.

THEY WHAT? THEY STOLE HIM!

STEVE, KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR SISTER, PLEASE?

[TV INAUDIBLE]

Announcer: 4 IN 1. THE TIRE WITH TRUE TRACTION

NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER.

I AM SICK OF THIS!

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?

YOU ARE! YOU ARE, YOU SON OF A--

THE GREAT HARRY-- GREAT JOB, GREAT HOUSE.

GREAT FAMILY, GREAT GUY!

I CAN BARELY FEED MY BOY.

WELL, HOW IS THAT MY FAULT?

I DIDN'T ASK TO BE NO CELEBRITY, NO.

BUT I WOULD HAVE MADE A HELL OF A LOT BETTER

HARBORMASTER THAN YOU.

HARRY! HARRY!

PAULA AND MARK ARE OUT IN THE BOAT.

THEY'VE GOT ANDRE. WHAT?

THERE'S A SMALL CRAFT WARNING.

[THUNDER]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU SAID WE'D JUST DROP HIM OFF

SO HE COULD SWIM SOUTH, RIGHT?

IF WE LET HIM GO, HE'LL JUST COME BACK.

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY, PAULA.

NO! LET GO OF THE GUN!

YOU CAN'T SHOOT HIM!

NO!

Paula: ANDRE?

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

I WANNA GO HOME!

PAULA, I'M SORRY.

IT'S YOUR FAULT, YOU JERK!

MOVE!

[THUNDER]

WE DIDN'T MEAN IT.

WE DIDN'T WANT TO HURT HIM.

CALM DOWN, HONEY. SLOW DOWN.

TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.

ANDRE'S GONE.

I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN IT!

COME ON, LET'S GET IN THE CAR.

DAD, I'M SORRY--

BOY, I COULD KICK YOUR ASS.

MOM! MOM!

SHE JUST DISAPPEARED. WHAT?

I WAS WATCHING TV

AND WHEN I TURNED AROUND, SHE WAS GONE.

OH, STEVE! I'M SORRY.

WHAT?

HER DINGHY'S GONE, TOO, DAD.

[THUNDER]

NOW GET IN THE CAR AND STAY THERE.

STEVE, YOU GET IN THE CAR--

LOOK, I KNOW THESE WATERS.

WITH THAT SOUTHEASTERN BLOWING,

THAT LITTLE DINGHY COULD CURRENT ON DOWN--

I THINK YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH. JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!

STOP IT! JUST STOP IT!

MY BABY IS IN TROUBLE BECAUSE OF THE 2 OF YOU.

NOW JUST FIND HER, FOR GOD'S SAKES.

I'M GONNA CALL THE COAST GUARD.

I NEED THE COAST GUARD, PLEASE!

COME ON.

COME ON!

TIDE'S PULLING OUT.

IF SHE STARTED OUT FROM YOUR PLACE,

SHE'S HEADED FOR ROCKY POINT.

[THUNDER]

DAD, I'M COMING WITH YOU!

HELP ME.

SOMEBODY HELP!

DO YOU SEE ANYTHING?

NOTHING!

I'M PROUD OF YOU, BOY.

[ANDRE BARKING]

TONI! OH, BABY. COME HERE. THANK GOD.

OH, BABY.

DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN.

TONI! TONI!

LET HIM GO!

LET HIM GO!

IT'S OK. IT'S OK. IT'S OK.

HONEY, IT'S ALL RIGHT. I TOLD HIM TO COME.

[ANDRE BARKS]

LISTEN, ANDRE'S GONNA GO LIVE

IN THE AQUARIUM NOW.

[CHAINS RATTLE]

BUT WHY? HE SAVED MY LIFE.

I KNOW, HONEY, LISTEN.

REMEMBER WHEN ANDRE CAME HOME LAST SPRING?

HOW BEATEN UP HE WAS?

WELL, ANDRE'S DONE SO MUCH FOR US,

WE NEED TO DO THIS FOR HIM.

IT'S TOO DANGEROUS HERE.

HE MIGHT NOT MAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER WINTER.

NOW, WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEBODY,

YOU DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO KEEP THEM SAFE.

I'M SO SORRY.

THAT'S OK. IT'S ALL RIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO

IF ANYTHING EVERY HAPPENED TO YOU.

YOU KNOW WE'RE GONNA TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM.

AND EVERYONE AT THE AQUARIUM

IS GOING TO LOVE HAVING HIM WITH US.

AND YOU GET TO VISIT HIM WHENEVER YOU WANT.

OK?

OK, BUT HE DOESN'T LIKE SMELT OR HALIBUT.

HIS FAVORITE FISH IS HERRING.

AND HE NEEDS A BELLY RUB AT LEAST ONCE A DAY,

AND HE NEEDS TO BE AROUND A LOT OF PEOPLE.

WELL, HE'LL ALWAYS HAVE ME.

WELL, I LOVE YOU, ANDRE.

AND I'LL VISIT YOU ALL THE TIME,

EVEN IF I HAVE TO WALK TO BOSTON.

DON'T WORRY. HE'LL BE OK.

HEY, BOYS.

HEY, BILLY.

HEY, CONGRATULATE ME.

YEAH, WHAT'S UP?

I'VE BEEN OFFERED A JOB

WITH THE MARINE MAMMAL PROTECTION AGENCY.

WHAT, YOU GOING TO BE A FED NOW, HARRY,

WEAR ONE OF THEM GREEN HATS?

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

THEY WANNA PAY ME TO DO RESEARCH FOR THEM.

WHAT, ARE YOU GOING TO WEAR A BADGE?

OH, ELLWYN. DO YOU GET TO WEAR A GUN?

HEY, LISTEN UP, EVERYBODY.

I WANNA SAY SOMETHING.

WELL, SINCE I'M SUCH A TERRIBLE HARBORMASTER ANYWAY,

I'VE DECIDED TO STEP DOWN.

AND, UH... [MURMURING]

WELL, YOU KNOW ELECTIONS ARE COMING UP.

WELL, I'D LIKE TO NOMINATE BILLY BAKER.

WELL, UH, EVERYBODY HATES A HARBORMASTER,

SO IT'S A PERFECT JOB FOR ME.

[ALL MOAN]

ALL KIDDING ASIDE...

I KNOW THIS HARBOR BETTER THAN ANYBODY.

AND I'M GONNA WORK MY BUTT OFF FOR YOU.

ONE THING'S FOR SURE.

I GOTTA BE BETTER THAN HARRY.

[APPLAUSE]

HEY, LOOK, IT'S ON. IT'S ON.

Reporter: ROCKPORT, MAINE, AS MANY OF US KNOW,

HAS BEEN PUT ON THE MAP BECAUSE OF ANDRE THE SEAL.

HE'S ATTRACTED A RECORD NUMBER OF VISITORS

TO HIS NEW HOME AT THE EASTERN AQUARIUM NEAR BOSTON.

ANDRE'S NIGHTLY SHOWS AT ROCKPORT'S DOCKSIDE,

MADE HIM A NATIONAL CELEBRITY.

BUT THE SEAL'S OWNER, HARRY WHITNEY,

PLACED HIM IN THE AQUARIUM LAST FALL

FOR HIS OWN SAFETY.

ALFRED DAVIS, THE AQUARIUM'S DIRECTOR,

SAYS THAT ANDRE IS WELL-LOVED AND CARED FOR

AND SEEMS TO BE ADAPTING WELL TO CAPTIVITY.

COME ON. IT'S A LONG DRIVE TO BOSTON.

AND I KNOW ANDRE IS ANXIOUS TO SEE YOU.

DAD, I'VE BEEN THINKING.

YEAH, ABOUT WHAT?

WELL, MAYBE ANDRE WOULD LIKE IT MORE

WITH THE OTHER SEALS.

HE IS A WILD ANIMAL, YOU KNOW,

SO I THINK HE'D LIKE IT BETTER IN THE WILD.

WELL, MISS WHITNEY,

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

Adult Toni: IT WAS A LONG TRIP TO BOSTON.

I KNEW I'D MADE THE HARDEST DECISION OF MY LIFE.

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO MY BEST FRIEND

FOR THE LAST TIME.

THAT'S IT. GREAT. OK.

OK. GOOD.

THANKS.

I'M GONNA MISS HIM.

WE'VE BECOME GOOD FRIENDS, HUH?

[WHIMPERS]

I THINK HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE IN THE WILD

IF HE WANTS TO.

WELL, SOME OF HIS OWN

WILL PREPARE HIM FOR THE WINTER.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR HIM.

WELL, ANDRE, YOU'LL BE OK.

LOVE YOU.

OK, THERE WE GO.

Harry: THAT'A BOY, ANDRE.

GO ON, ANDRE.

DAD...

DO YOU THINK ANDRE'S MAKING NEW FRIENDS

WITH THE WILD SEALS?

I HOPE SO, HONEY.

HEY, HARRY.

YEAH?

THAT WAS DWAYNE IN NANTUCKET.

HE SAYS HIS FRIEND BUDDY CLEMMONS

SPOTTED ANDRE OFF RHODE ISLAND.

CRIMINY. I GUESS HE DECIDED TO HEAD

FOR SOUTHERN WATERS AFTER ALL, HUH?

GO ON.

YOU KNOW, DAD, I KINDA MISS ANDRE.

I DO.

NO WAY, AL. YOU PROBABLY JUST SAW A SEAL

THAT LOOKS LIKE HIM.

BUDDY CLEMMONS THINKS HE SAW HIM

OFF RHODE ISLAND THIS MORNING.

YOU'RE LISTENING TO SULLY SULLIVAN

ON WROC, THE STATION TO LISTEN TO

FOR ANDRE UPDATES.

IF YOU THINK YOU'VE SPOTTED HIM,

CALL IN ON THE ROC HOTLINE AT 555-1120.

IN THE LAST 2 DAYS, THERE HAVE BEEN

MULTIPLE SIGHTINGS OF ROCKPORT'S FAMOUS SEAL.

I CAN'T FIND THE BALL SCORES ANYWHERE.

[STATIC]

LOOK, ANDRE GOT PRETTY FAMOUS IN HIS DAY.

BELIEVE ME, EVERY SEAL PEOPLE SEE FOR AWHILE

IS GOING TO BE ANDRE.

YEAH, BUT MR. WHITNEY, ISN'T IT TRUE

THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE SIGHTINGS

ON THE EASTERN SEABOARD IN THE LAST 2 DAYS?

SURE. MARYLAND, CANADA.

I EXPECT THEY'LL BE CALLING ME FROM CALIFORNIA NEXT.

[SEAL BARKING]

THALICE, IT'S LOU DOWN AT FRIENDSHIP BAY.

HE'S ON HIS WAY.

HURRY UP! DIDYA HEAR?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

HE'S COMING.

YAY! WHOO!

HEY, ANDRE!

HEY, ANDRE.

WELCOME HOME.

[RASPBERRY]

Adult Toni: MANY YEARS AGO, A SEAL CALLED ANDRE

MADE HIS FIRST HISTORIC SWIM HOME,

AND HIS LIFE BECAME LEGEND.

EVERY WINTER, HE LIVED THE LIFE

OF A COUNTRY GENTLEMAN AT THE AQUARIUM.

EVERY SPRING, MY DAD SET HIM FREE.

AND EVERY TIME, ANDRE MADE THE 250-MILE JOURNEY HOME

TO SPEND THE SUMMER WITH US--

HIS FAMILY.

BY THE TIME ANDRE WAS 24-YEARS OLD,

HE COULD HARDLY SEE, BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP HIM

FROM COMPLETING HIS FINAL TRIP.

IN ALL MY JOURNEYS SINCE MY YOUTH,

AND ON ALL THE JOURNEYS I HAVE AHEAD OF ME,

I KNOW I'LL NEVER FIND A BETTER FRIEND THAN ANDRE.
