I'm so glad school is out. I
really a

change. See what summer's all

about vacation in my brain.

Tired of the same old faces. I
need some one brand new.

Some one I can laugh and love with

and tell my secrets to. I'm
looking for a

friend.

I'm looking for a friend.

There's so much of

life to see and so little time.

It's back to school before I
know and my summer

all behind and it's no fun to
be

alone when the sun is going
down.

Dear god if you're listening,
won't you send some one

around. I'm looking for a
friend.

I'm looking for a friend.

Friend.

I'm looking for a friend.

I'm looking for a friend.

I'm looking for a friend.

I'm looking for a friend.

Hi.
Hi kid. Hey

you don't belong back here. You lost?
No. Yeah,

I'm lost.
Oh, lose your folks huh? Come
on, I'll show you how to get

out the front side.
It must be great working here
all day long. I mean,

with all the fish an everything.
Not all fish. Animals too.

Animals?
Lots a animals. Lots a animals.
Joey.

Joey. Hi, I'm Louie.

Are you a trainer?
I'm the best darn fisherman in
the whole wide

world. In America anyway.

Come on.
Ladies and
gentleman, our next show in ten
minutes will be

the underwater...
That's why we get them. All
the fishes and I catch all of

them. I told you. Did you see
the whale? Yeah, like

them huh?
Who catches the fish?
I catch the fish because I'm
the

greatest fisherman in the whole
world. Maybe in America.

Did you catch the whale?
Yeah, I caught the whale.

Hi Louie.
Hi Frank!

Hey! You kid!

Hello there folks. This is
your diver speaking.

From the bottom of the tank
right in front of you. I am
starting to feed some of the
fish

here and they know it's feeding
time. Watch them gather around.
We have thousands

of fish in this tank and over
several hundred varieties.

There are Garibaldi and here
comes a

turtle. There are sand sharks
over there. He's a shy fellow.

And we have a giant bat ray. Watch him g
Hey kid! Come here!

Hi Louie!
Hi!

Thank you.

There's your fish Louie. I'll see you.pp

How did you get back in here
again?

Can I help you unload the truck?
Why do you keep coming back in
here? You're gonna

get in trouble.
I want to get a job here. I
want to be like you.

Like me?
I want to work here at Marine
Land.

I want to be a trainer. I like
fish and they like me.

So, you want a job huh?

Well, let's see what I can do. Are you s

Look. Look. Feel that muscle!

Hey, that's pretty good. You're
strong. Real

strong.
Louie, who's your new helper?
He's my friend

Joey. He wants to work here. Do
you think we can get him a job?

We get applicants from all over
the world. It takes a great
deal of training to work here.

You're kind of short, aren't yah?
Might as well do it Doc. Give
him a job.

Because we keep throwing him
out of here and he keeps coming
back in.

Oh, you're the one they talk
about. You keep sneaking in. We
keep kicking you out and you
keep

sneaking back in. OK, you want
a job?

Alright, we'll put you to work
and if you can handle it, we'll
see

about a steady job.
You really mean it? I can work
here?

Sure. Sure, I'll tell you what.
Take this fish into the shed.

It's a lot of heavy work for a
strong young man.

Louie, I tell you what.

We'll work him so hard for the
next two or three hours. He'll
get sick of this place and
won't want to see it again.

I'm not so sure about that Doc.
Anyone that wants to work that
bad maybe

he'll do it. He wants to be a trainer. H

You're the best darn fisherman I know.PP

In America anyway.

There he is.

Go on girl.

Let's go. Come on.

Go!

I got a new trainer for you.

Send him out for buckets of
fish. He knows where to go.
He'll get you

all the fish you need.

Bob, the kid's been a pest to
security.

I figure if we work him as hard
as we can, he'll get so sick of
the place

he'll never want to come back. You under

up here that he'll never want
to see another fish as long as
he lives. He young fella.

Stand back over here now. What's your na
Joseph. They call

me Joey. Can I pet him?

There's one thing that you got
to understand around here Joey.

All these animals and fish are
potentially dangerous. They
don't know you.

You don't know them. So, one of
the rules around here is that
you don't go near any of

the animals in any of the tanks
unless you are accompanied by
some one in charge, understand?

He doesn't look very dangerous.
Oh you don't think so? Come
here.

Come on. Come one. that's it.

Wow, what big teeth!

We never had an accident here
at Marine Land Joey and the
reason for that is we're

careful, even with the animals
that know us. Oh, they wouldn't
mean to hurt us, but

that whale weighs several tons
and if he were to clunk you
against the side of the tank,

or you were to fall in and he
was to give you a little
playful nudge...well,

it would be the equivalent of
being hit by a truck. So, we
just don't take any chances

OK?
OK, now you go back down to
Louie and you bring up

some more fish up here, OK?

Come on. Come on.

Come one. That's it! That's
it.

Ladies and
gentlemen, our next production
in fifteen minutes will be

the single dolphin show at the
sea arena. The sea arena is
located

in the...

Alright Orcy, let's
see how much water you can
splash

and here comes the big guy. OK,
orc. Throw yourself into and
really splash

and splash away old boy.

Orcy, if you put on just a
little more

extra effort, I believe you could be tot

Goodnight gentlemen.

We had a pretty good attendance today, d
It was a pretty good crowd
Joey.

Goodnight. See you tomorrow.
OK, you go straight home now.
You be a good boy now.

Go straight home.

Hello. Who?

Oh yes, Joey's aunt. Yes, we

did say he could work here. I
see.

No, everything worked out fine.

It's perfectly alright. Thank
you for calling. Bye.

In just five minutes,
our next attraction, the whale

show featuring Bubbles and her
friends.

Hey Brent.
Hey how you doing doc?

That boy. I got a call from his
aunt. It looks like we didn't
get rid of him yesterday. He's
coming back.

Doc, I would have given you a
100 to 1 odds that he would be
back. You're not going to get
rid of him that easy.

He likes it around here. See
you later doc.

Come on.

Looking good.

The two new ones are going to work out f
Yeah, they are getting the
routines faster than I thought.

Have they been tested for intelligence q

than the others we got though.
You think that they're much
higher on the scale than some
of the other animals we brought

in?
Could be. Let's put them to
the test and find out.

I don't know.

How would you like

an assistant to help you with the traini

Hi, I'm Joey.
So you want to be a trainer?
Yes sir.

We could sure use more good men in this
That's why I want to be here.

Hey listen Joey. I talked to your aunt.

I told her it was alright for
you to be here, but this is a

trial period. I know you a
couple weeks and you're back to
school

but this will give you a chance
to see the operations. Let's
see how you get around, huh.

It's alright with me.
OK, keep an eye on him.

I told his aunt he wouldn't get
hurt. Here you go.

See you at lunch.
Go ahead and feed him Joey.

This is Joey, WC.

Hi! I work here now.

Really? In that case, why don't
you meet one of the stars of
our show? This is Pete.

Pete, this is Joey.

Hi.

I work here now.
Hey, would you like to give

him a fish Joey?
OK, Pete, why don't you come
out here and meet our

friend? Feed him right there
Joey. Right there. You just toss

the fish into Pete's mouth. He
won't hurt you, but he might
accidentally close down

with those teeth, see. He's pretty well
OK.

OK, Pete, back in the water.
Back in the water. That a boy.
That a boy.

Would you like to make him
jump? Here's how you do it.

See.

Here he comes.

Vic, you take over and I'll
show Joey around. Hey listen,
it's time for the

show now. Would you like to watch him he
I've seen the show from over
there

Mom has brought me lots of time. I'll wa
That's OK with me.

Seeing how you are one of the
family around here, maybe it's
better if you do watch from
over here.

Hey, remember him?
Sure, he rides in the boat and
they

float him around.
That's right. Captain crunch.

He started here when he was a
just a little pup. Look at him
now.

Come on. We gotta go.

Good afternoon ladies
and gentlemen, boys and girls.
Welcome to the sea arena.

And now let's bring them out.
The world's foremost sea lion
trainer, Captain

Art Thomas and his famous California sea

On the first seat, we have
queen and the second seat we
have Mr. Peanuts.

Sea lions are not natural balancers.

Alright, there's a nice little reward.

Bow our heads and say our
prayers because we have a big
big show to

continue, OK? Amen.

You're both qualified to be
lions and now Captain Art will
give you the seal of approval.

Now that was a most

difficult act ever attempted by
any California sea lion. The
one flipper stand

on a revolving pedestal. Now
it's time

for the ring race. Captain Art
is throwing ten plastic collars
into the pool. The sea lion
bringing

back the most colors will be
the winner. Alright, now we
have seen Mr. Peanuts

and he's got 1, 2, 3, 4. Come
on Queeny. You're running
behind.

We'll count them out and see who's going

big winner. There is no doubt about it.

Thank you Captain Art Thomas,
Queeny and Peanuts.

Our dolphin show will follow immediately

Alright, let's try once again
this time

a little bit slower. Here they come.

And now ladies and gentleman,

here they come with horizontal twist.

Let's try that one more time
Seymour.

Here we go with

Seymour.

OK, right now, if we could ask
for a volunteer from the
audience to come on down and
participate in the show.

And we'll take the gentleman right over

Come on down. Alright.

Step into the little boat that
we have and paddle across the
tank.

To the other side.

Alright now be careful what
you're doing there sir. Wait,
wait, you can't take

a picture. Be really careful!
Look out! Oh no! Hey, let's

get him a life ring. Come on!
Throw a life ring. Alright,
grab the life ring.

Happy, No! No! No!

Stick out your head. Here comes Blooper

Can you imagine being rescued
by dolphins? How about a big
hand for our

big stars.

Alright, how about trying to
help somebody in the third row

that didn't have any film in
their camera. Come on Happy. Up
a little bit higher.

And now ladies and gentlemen.

The dolphin ballet feature
Peppy and Blue.

And now ladies and gentlemen,

the most photographed young man
on the west coast. Just back
from a two week

vacation in Honolulu, Captain
Crunch. Alright Peppy, you wanna

grab the tow line and take
Crunch for a nice ride around
the big pool?

All of you having pets at home
know that most animals have a
natural

fear of fire, but we have one
that doesn't. Mrs. Flash.

Mrs. Flash is ready to jump
through the flaming hoop. Get
ready camera fans. Here she
comes.

Flash going up and through the first rin

And once again from the
opposite side. Ladies and
Gentlemen, Mrs. Flash

the fearless. Ladies and
Gentlemen,

the world's highest jumping
dolphin.

Ladies and gentlemen, this
will conclude the dolphin show.
Our next

show will be at one-thirty.
Thank you and good afternoon.

Joey come here. I got something
I want to show you.

Something I think you'll be very interes

it?
Wait and see. Let's just say
it's a

big surprise. Now come on. Come on!
What do you mean a big
surprise?

You just wait and see.

Ah hello Doc. Just the man I'm
looking for.

Mr. Monahan, I would like you
to meet Joey. Joey, this is Mr.
Monahan, the real boss. He's
the man

that really runs this place.
Hello Joey. You know, when he
gives me a build up like that

I know he wants something.
Glad to meet you Mr. Monahan.
It's nice to be working

for you.
Working for me?

Oh yeah, I was going to explain about th
Yeah, I know you will. You
come up

to the office later and by the
way. I want to report on that
dolphin rescue project.

Davey wants to know how it's coming alon

It's nice meeting you Joey.
Keep up the good work. I'll see
you later Doc.

So long. Is he the man that
hired me?

Well...

Did you know that killer whales
have been known to tear through
ice to get at seals?

Polar bears.
I thought sharks were the most
dangerous things in the ocean.

No, no, I would say killer
whales because of their
enormous size and strength.

Plus a pretty good set of
teeth. That rates them as the
most

ferocious killer in the ocean.
They've been known to attack
everything.

Polar bears, men in boats. The
eskimos

used to go hunting in their
kyaks in the

skin boats and they would hunt
anything except the killer
whale.

The killer whale was too much for them t
Can you really train them
here? I mean,

they're really contained so they're not

wild animal is potentially
dangerous and they're not

tame. They're trained. They're
not tame in the sense

that your dog and cat is tame.
Now you remember that.

That's the biggest fish I ever
saw. I bet that's the biggest
fish

anybody ever caught.
It's a mammal Joey.

Not a fish. It's a mammal. It
just happened to live

in the ocean. they breathe air
just like you and I do. They
don't

have gills like a fish.
Are you telling

the truth? You're kidding.
No, no, that's the truth.

They could drown if they didn't
come up for air and breathe.
They are like all the rest of
the animals.

Seals, walruses,
porpoises...they're air
breathers.

They're not fish. We'd better
back out of the way.

We'll get hit in the head by a
sling.

I think you're gonna like it here.
Hey kid, I don't think he

understands you.
Oh sure he does. Animals
understand you if you talk to
them

nice. One of the trainers told
me that if you feed the animals
and talk to them, they

get to know you and then they
know that you're feeding them
and taking care of them. Then

they touch.
OK, but I don't care what you
say,

look at those teeth! He ain't
never gonna be friendly!

Not to Louie and I ain't gonna give him
Well,

it works. They told me it
works. I bet I can make friends
with that whale if I feed

him every day and I'm nice to
him. I'll bet you he likes me.

You ever hear of Moby Dick, the
white whale?

He bit off Captain Ahab's let
and it was a

whale just like that. So, you
think about that

or you'll be walking around
like Captain Ahab, with a peg
leg.

Alright, a Big Mac,

fries and what to drink?
A Coke please.
Great.

One Big Mac, fries and a Coke!
I got to hurry. I'm on my
lunch hour from work.

Where do you work?
Marine Land. I'm an assistant
trainer.

Really? Assistant trainer?
Kind of. I help with the
animals, and I

feed them.
Here's your order. Was that
fast enough for you?

Here's your change. Now, you
come back again, OK?

Oh, and good luck on your job.
Thanks. Bye.

Hi fella.

No, this is my lunch. Besides,
who ever

heard of a whale eating french
fries?

I don't eat your fish. You don't

So long. I got to get to work.

See you later.

They said I can work there and
now put the fish in the animals.

I think that's wonderful
darling. Now, why don't you go
wash up for dinner?

I told you about going all the way down

Mom, it's OK with you.
Now go get washed up and quit
bothering

your mother. Go on! Get!

Smells just like fish. He must have roll

Meg, boys will be
Boys! I know.

I worry about Joey. I am
totally responsible for him
when you're at the office and
how can I

teach that boy proper manners if you kee

you make it very difficult for him Meg.
Well, now, do you know what I

have to put up with. You're
gone all day and since we've
moved down here near

that place, the minute I turn my back, h

I appreciate you looking after
Joey for me while I'm work, but
you have

to understand, he's just a little boy.pp

a little boy and that's why he
needs a man around the house, a
father.

That's why he keeps sneaking off to Mari

Help wanted male. A little boy
needs a father.

Reasonably attractive. Widow included. (
And, it

isn't funny.
No it isn't. I'm just doing

the best I can.
And I'm trying to help you.

Let me see your hands.

Joey,

Joey dear. We

feel that maybe you're a little
too young to be working down

there. I mean, with all those
wild animals and everything.

I mean, your aunt Meg has
enough to worry about as it is.

You're already said it was OK.

I know. I guess

I just wasn't thinking.

But your aunt Meg
is right.

You mean, I can't go back anymore?
Well,

I tell you what. Maybe when you're older
Ah mom.

Well, that's that. I'd better
get the dinner on.

Hi Joey!
Where's Louie?

Oh, the last time I saw him, he was down
Is he

going out for fish?
Yeah, I did hear somebody say
that they were going out on
some kind of

expedition for some new
specimens. Hey, where you going?

Hi fella. How you getting along?

Sorry, I don't have anything
for you. Well, I guess

I won't be seeing you for a
while. Goodbye.

Hey Joey, how are you? You got
to work

early. I'll get the boat ready.
We're going fishing.

That's nice.
Hey, what's the matter?

My mother says I can't work
here anymore. It's all on
account

of my aunt.
Oh that's bad.
My aunt Meg says

it's dangerous. She says I'll
get hurt. I wish somebody could
talk to my mother

about it.
Why don't we

get Doc to talk to your mother.
He'll tell her it's alright.
We'll take

care of you. I'm sure it'll be OK.
You really think he'll talk to
my mom?

Sure. If I ask him to.

Come on. Let's go.
That was great.

There you go. Stay right there.

OK.

Now,

Hey Doc.
Hi.
Doc, our friend needs help.

What's the matter Joey?
Dr. Fredericks, it's my aunt
Meg.

Well, if your aunt Meg isn't
feeling well, I don't think a
marine biologist can help.

Wouldn't hurt, but couldn't
help. I treat animals...fish,
not people.

No, Doc. She's not sick. She's
mad. She doesn't

want Joey to work here. She's afraid he'

That's what I told my mom. Dr.
Fredericks, would you talk to
my mother

on the telephone?
Joey, I

don't know about my persuasive
over women,

but for you, I'll do it.
That's great!

She's at work and I know the number.
Alright, I'll call.

What's the number?
Press 51200.

Uh give me 51200 please.

Yeah, what do I ask for? What's her name
Anne,

Mrs. Anne Fields.
Mrs. Anne Fields please.

I don't know if this is going to work Jo
Want I should talk to her doc?

Uh, no, it's OK Louie. I'll

give it a try. Ah, Mrs. Fields,
this is Dr. Fredericks from

Marine Land. It's about Joey.
No, no. He's

fine. It's just that he came
down and he told us

that you told him he couldn't
work here anymore because you
were afraid he would get hurt.

Well, I'll tell you what Mrs.
Fields. Why don't you

come down here and take a tour
of the facility. I'll show you
around

and you can make up your own
mind. Great!

Uh, lunch time will be fine.

Thank you Mrs. Fields.
What did she say?

Well she said she'd come down on her lun
Great!

Show her around and explain how
very very careful we are

and that's all I can do Joey.
That's great Doc! You really
did great!

You'll convince her. I know you
will! Come on Louie, let's go
to work!

OK, let's go Joey.

Hey Louie, I'm going over and feeding th
OK,

but be careful.
It's OK. He's my friend.
See you later Joey.

Hi.

I guess you can't see. Did you
miss me?

Nobody takes care of you like I do.

You know, I bet you are going to be the

It's funny. Everybody got to go
to school. I guess,

to learn, even you.

Well, I guess it ain't so bad,
but I'd rather be here than

in the school room. Well,
that's enough. I got to go

over to the seals and feed them. Bye.
People say you're kind of
shy

but you only talk to those

that look right in your eyes.

and now I realize they don't
know you like

I do.

They got you figured out all
wrong

It's just a silly game you
play. I've seen it all

along. You just put them on.

They don't know you like I
do.

Be careful about who

you call your friends

where there were good guys,
there were bad guys around

the ben, but

never get close to hurting you

yeah. Because you're just like me.

We will storm and see it
through.

They got you figured out all
wrong

it's just a silly game. I've
seen it all

along. They don't know you
like I do.

Just don't know you like I do.

Good morning Ma'am. May I help
you?

Yes, I'm Mrs. Fields. I'm here
to see Dr. Fredericks.

He's expecting me.
Alright, just a moment please.

Yes, ma'am, he's on his way
down. Why don't you wait

inside please.
Thank you.

Hello.

You're Joey's mother?
Yes, Dr. Fredericks?

Everybody around her calls me Doc.
Please call me Anne.

This isn't an imposition is it?
Oh, no, no, no. My pleasure.

I'm very fond of Joey. Can I show you ar

Thank you.

These fish are really quite
delicate. We have to be very
careful about the chemical
content and the

temperature. One slight mistake
and we could lose thousands

of dollars of expensive fish.
I didn't realize

there was so much involved with just hav

than an aquarium.
I think you're pampering them.

Well, we try. Come on, I'll
show you where Joey's working.

One of our big buddies.
That's a killer whale, isn't
it?

That's the strangest barking.
You got to admit that nature
did

an unusual job.
It doesn't even look real.

Oh, it's real.
It looks like one of those
rubber animals that they use in
parades.

Oh yeah, it's become quite
tame. Handling

it's come around.

It's going to be one of our
star performers.

Bob, where's Joey?
He and Louie are over at the
seal arena.

Well, let's go see what's
going on at the seal arena.

Ladies and gentlemen,

your attention please. We have
a lost little boy at the
information desk

in the main lobby. His name is
Billy Convos.

This job must take a lot of your time.pp

Sometimes I'm not out of here
till 8,9 o'clock at night.

Doesn't your wife object to such long ho

I'm not married.

Come on Dolly. Up.

Hey, that's pretty good. You're
going to make a fine trainer. I
can tell.

You have a way with animals.
Isn't that what I said?
Hey don't get smart.

I didn't mean it that way. I
just meant I like the animals
and they like me.

Very good. Come on Dolly. Come
on Dolly.

Come on.

Get the rings.

One more Dolly. One more.

Very good Dolly.

Very good! Come on. Very good!

Come on. Very good!
Ah you get a fishy.

Very good Dolly. Very good!

Give me five.

Alright.

Hello Joey.
Mom!
Don't let me bother you. Just
go right

on with what you're doing.
I'm showing your mother around
and explaining how we work.

See mom, I told you would like
it around here. This is my
friend

Louie.
Hello Mrs. Fields.
How do you do?

Well, I see that everything is
very nice.

Very nice? Ah mom.
Well, I mean

everything is

Safe?
Safe! Yes!
I think your mother feels its
alright

for you to stay here Joey. Right Mrs. Fi
Yes.

Oh gee, I guess I'd better grab a bite t

I'll take you to the Galley
West. I know the matradee
rather well. We can get served
right away.

See you later Joey.
Mom, come back anytime. Just
tell them

you know me and they'll let you in.
Hey, your mom

is a good looking woman.
I guess she's alright.
I think the Doc

thinks so too.
You think so?
Oh, I know so.

Give me kiss.

Give me kiss.

I can't swim! Help! I'm
drowning!

Joey! Help me! I can't swim!

Help me!

Help! I'm drowning!

Louie! Louie!

Louie!
Stop it! You're

beating me to death!
I didn't know you couldn't
swim.

You have to tell everybody? You
ever hear of a fisherman

who could swim?

Hey Joey, that's the last time

I'll play ball with that seal.
Come on Louie. I'll take you
back over and you

better get some dry clothes on.
OK, let's go.

And, that's when Meg moved in
with us.

To take care of Joey. I went
back to work.

Oh my gosh.
What's the matter?

Speaking of work. Look at the
time. I'll be lucky if I have a
job

to go back to.
Oh, I didn't notice the time
going by.

Thank you kind sir. Thank you
for the

lunch. Thank you for Joey.
Thank you

everything.
Swimming.

It's really easy to learn.
Not at my age.

It's too late. You can't teach an old do
Well, I can swim.

I bet I can teach you.
Huh, you teach me?

I just meant.
Hello.

Hello.
Hey Louie, the captain wants
you on the Geronimo right away.

Some blues have been spotted in the chap

By golly, now you'll see
something. This is my kind of
work.

We're going fishing!
Fishing, alright!

I guess time slips by when
you're in good

company.

I really have to rush. Tell
Joey everything is alright.

He'll be relieved.

What are blues?

Sharks boy. Sharks. Man eaters.
Real man-eating sharks?

Come on. Let's get them.

Ahoy, Geronimo!

Hi captain!
Hi Louie! Who's that with

you?
A new member of the crew.
We're going to drag him on the
back of the

boat for shark bait!

What do you mean shark bait?

What's the matter kid? Can't you take a
Oh Sure.

Well,

you look mighty small for a
sailor. What was the name of
your last

vessel?
Sir...captain,

Speak up boy.
I'm not really a sailor.

What? You're not a sailor and
you wanted to sail on my vessel?

Well, I could learn.
Well, I don't know.

Everybody had to learn
sometime, didn't they?

He got you there Cap.
I'm not afraid and I can swim.

Well, good, if you can swim, we
will take you along to look
after

Louie!
Now just a minute captain.
Well, let's shove off crew.

Those old blues won't wait all day

Let go the line!

Yes sir!
Keep an eye

on Louie. We need him to fish!
Keep it up. Keep it up.

Some day I will find out if he can swim.

I love the water

I have never been sailing
before

I'm just a city boy tasting
the sea

tonight like to taste me some
more.

I've read Treasure Island and
The Old Man and the Sea and
I've seen

Moby Dick on TV. All that I

am wishing is that you take
me fishing, so I'd have my own

sailing dreams. Show me the
ways of

the ocean. Captain, please
take me

along. Rock me on gentle blue
waters

sing me a sailing son.

Show me the ways of the ocean

Captain, won't you take me
along?

Rock me on gentle blue waters.

Sing me a sailing song.

Sing me a sailing song

There they are captain!

OK. Don't move.

Hey Joey,

look at the porpoise! Alright,
get up the ladder

and go up there and wait until I tell yo
Oh, can't I help?

Come on. You got to learn to follow orde
Oh...

You want to be a crew member,
you got to follow orders. No
go, Joey, go!

How's Louie doing?
OK.

Sharks on the port bow.
There's a whole school of them!

Wow, a real man eater!

OK, cap,

shut it down. Drop anchor.

Hey look at them come Joey.

Come on. Come and get it. Here
they come Joey. Look at them.

He just snapped at that gull.

Watch that bird.

Here they come.

I've got him!

Hey, he's a seven footer!

That's OK. Watch his head.

Watch him. He's got the bugger!

Alright, let's get that shark
in the tank and get those pumps
going.

OK, Joey, you can come on deck
now.

Wow, a real man eater.

You betcha. That's hard work.
That's for darn sure.

They don't like to get caught,
but they don't get away from
Louie.

The best darn fisherman in the whole wor
Well, in America anyway.

No, in the whole darn world.

Oh, thank you. In the whole
darn world.

Maybe. Hey Joey, I want to show
you something.

That's why I didn't want you
here.

Look at that!

Next time, you follow orders
when I tell you.

OK?
Yes sir.
Life is like a boat.

For your own good, you have to
follow the orders. Remember,
follow

the orders, OK?
OK.

Well, at last your home.
I was just going upstairs to
get

cleaned up.
Well, I should hope do. Do you
have to get so

dirty?
As a fish, I guess. I'm used
to it.

have there?
A bucket.
I know it's a bucket. What do
you have in it?

Nothing.
Oh, then why did you drag it
all the way home?

There are holes all over it.
It happened at the boat.

What boat?
Where we caught the sharks.
Now, young man

you tell me everything that happened tod

I went out on the boat with Louie.
Louie?
The best darn fisherman in the
whole

world. Well, in America anyway.
Oh, alright,

I believe you. Now go on.
Well, we went out on the boat
for sharks

Did you catch any?
Boy did we. One great big one
bit right

through this bucket on the
deck. When we were trying to
take him in the tank, well he
broke off

a tooth and I got it right here.
No, don't show it to me. You
get upstairs and

get washed. You wait until your
mother gets home and I tell her
about everything that happened
today.

Now give me that thing.
That's mine!
Now get upstairs. I don't

want anymore foolishness and I mean it.
Oh shoot.

Good

lord.
I think we can afford a new
one.

I've had too many shocks
already today.

Obviously. What's with the bucket.
This was your son almost.
Now that you're going to have
to explain.

Well, ask him. Now, tell your
mother how you could have got
killed today.

Ah, it was nothing.
Alright Joey, what happened

today?
I went out on the boat and I
went fishing.

Sharks.
For what?!

Sharks.
And one of those man eaters
just bit a hole in this

poor little bucket.
Is that true?

Yeah, one of them bit that dumb
bucket.

Good lord. Joey, when you went
to work

out there at Marine Land. You
promised me that you weren't
going to do anything dangerous.

Well.
Well, to tell the truth, I
didn't really

catch any sharks. Louie made me
go up in the bridge and wait in
the wheelhouse

until they got the sharks in the tank.PP

Are you telling the whole truth?
Yes, aunt Meg.

Alright. Alright, but I'm going
to have a talk with that

Dr. Fredericks.
Ah mom.
Now that's enough of it. You
get in and set the table.

Now I know what you're going to say.
Well, what are you going to do
about it?

Well, I'm going to go out to
Marine Land and I'm going to
have a talk with Dr. Fredericks.

What does he look like?
Not bad.
A family man?

No. As a matter of fact, he's
not married.

He isn't.
Well that's what he told me.
Well, I wonder

why he told you that.
Now look Meg. Don't go getting
any ideas.

Morning.
Hey good morning. Getting an
early start aren't you Joey?

I got a new whale.

Morning fella.

Miss me? Boy, I bet you never
had anyone tell you what you
couldn't do.

Especially an aunt.
I guess you don't have

many friends because most
people are afraid of you. They
don't know you like I do.

What's the matter? Your tongue
itch?

How's that? Better?

OK.

Good of you. Here's another
fish. OK. Time to prep

the act.

Come on. Do good.

Good boy!

Wave bye-bye. I gotta go to
work.

Hi Louie!

How's the baby whale doing?
Hi Joey, he's fine. He's going
to be

OK. Hey did you know that Dr.
Fredericks is looking for you?

He wants you up in the lab.
Really?
Yeah. Where

have you been?
I was over with the new whale.
He and I are good friends.

I told you to stay away from
that killer whale. He's no good.

Nah, we're pals. I pat his head
and scratch his tongue.

Listen, if I see you around
that dangerous whale again, I'll

pat your head and scratch your
tongue. Now, you get up to Dr.
Fredericks up in the lab, right
away.

OK. See you later Louie.
OK, Joey.

Hi Joey.

I got something here that I
think you might be interested
in.

You know what that is?

Looks like an octopus made out of ice.pp

That's exactly what it is, or
almost. It's an octopus and
it's been

chilled with ice. That's how they ship t

No, no...he's very much alive
and we're gonna

bring him back. We're going to
wake him up. I thought you
might like to help.

How do I do that?
I'll show you.
First of all, we put him

in this tank here.

and

we work him up to where he
starts breathing again.

See.

Massage him like that. Here,
grab a hold.

As soon as he starts to
breathe, he will come back.
Come here. Grab a hold.

That's it. Come on. Don't be
afraid.

If you're going to be a marine
biologist, you got to learn to
handle everything.

That's very good. Look at that.

Doc, look at him!
That's a good sign Joey. See,
he's

coming back to life. Look, you
see the way he's holding on?
He's coming back.

He's gonna be alright. There we
go.

Ah,

well that's enough of that.
You're gonna have quite a bit
to tell

the kids at school, aren't you?
I sure am.
What is it? A couple of weeks
from now?

Yeah. I've been having so much
fun that I almost forgot all

about it. Gee Dr. Fredericks, I
could learn so much here with

Louie and you've been so nice to me.
Yeah, well I enjoy having you
here.

I like to watch you work with
the animals. It's a chance

to rediscover through your eyes

the love of life and ecology
that I have.

I see myself in you Joey at
your age. I jus wish

some one had given me the
opportunity that you have.

We grow up too soon Joey.

In a little while, this will be
your world and

you gotta be equipped to take
care of it. Do you

understand what I'm saying?
I think so.

You will. Look around you at
all the living

things and say this is my world
and I'm going to do the best

I can to take care of it.

Alright, I'll buy you a cold

drink and a hot dog as soon as
I change and wash up. OK?

OK!
Young man.
Yes ma'am.

May I help you?
Do you know a little boy who
worked here named Joey?

Well, I'm his aunt. He forgot
his jacket this morning. Now
where can I

find him?
Oh let's see. I saw Joey a
little earlier with

Dr. Fredericks.
Oh, well that's fine. Now,
will you tell me how to find him

and I'm sure the doctor can direct me to

Now, if you go

right inside there, you will
see a booth inside the door and
they can direct you to Dr.
Fredericks' office.

Thank you very much. You've been a big h

Nothing like a hot dog when you're hungr

Makes you wonder what they do
at home. Where you off

to now?
Oh, I guess I'd better go feed
my friend. He's getting used to

his new home. Besides, his
appetite has sure picked up.

Go feed your whale. You know, I
think he looks

forward to your visit.
He sure does. You ought to see
him come up

out of the water for me.
Well, take it easy, huh.

Remember, we don't take any chances arou
No sir.

You can go now.

Do you do this around your own house?
No.

We got to keep this place clean.
I'm sorry.

Oh.

You alright?
Oh, I'm perfectly alright.
It's my fault.

I'm Joey's aunt.
You're aunt Meg.

I have heard a great deal about you.
Well, yes, um,

I brought Joey his jacket. He forgot it.
Oh, I'll take it to him.

May I see him? Where he's working?
Certainly. Come on.

I'd love to show off the place.
This way.

And we have a continual
training program for the
animals.

That's so interesting. No
wonder why Joey likes to spend
so much time here.

Hey! Hey Joey!

He should've been here.

Hey what are you doing?
My aunt came to take me home.
Don't tell

her where I went.

Probably going down for more
fish. Let's go back this way.

Joey!

It's funny. he seems to be
headed for the pier.

Joey!

Joey!

Hey Joey!

Look out there. It's Joey!
Joey!

Come back!
Do something please. Do
something!

radio our ship at Geronimo.
Come on.

Doc, Geronimo's coming in now.

Have you heard from the coast
guard?

No, not yet. It's like looking
for a needle in a haystack.
This time of year

the fog settles in between
Catalina and here and

it's rough.

What if they don't find him. I
just had a feeling something
like this

was going to happen and I was
right. You should have kept him
at home.

It's not their fault. Joey was
just afraid.

Afraid that we were going to
take him

home. That we weren't going to
let him come back.

Did you hear what happened to the kid?pp

Hi Doc, what can I do to help?
You and Louie

get on the Geromino. Make some
sweeps. He could be carried out
to sea. The tide was running

out at the time. Call his name.
Keep calling.

The helicopters are not coming.
The coast guard said it would
be impossible

in this fog.
Well now don't you folks worry

we'll find him before he gets a
chance to get hungry.

Well, what are you waiting for? Let's ge
You take

it easy. We'll find him. He's
OK.

I am sure of it.
You coming with me? I'm
shoving off.

These boys know the channel
here at Marine Land better than
anybody

in the world, including the
coast guard.

They'll find him.

All lines are

clear!

Hey Doc.

Bob here has come up with an
idea. Do you know the boat that
the kid is using

is the same one that we've been
using in our testing with the
dolphins.

What are you thinking?
Well, the dolphins have been
trained to pick up the boat

in this new test that we have going on f
Yeah,

I dig that idea. Go on.
Why don't we send one of them
out?

Cue it to go after the boat. If
anyone can find that boat, he
can.

Fog or no fog.
Look, we've never tried

it in open water before. I
mean, the tank is one thing

but letting him loose in the
ocean is another. I don't know.

It's pretty dark out there. The
kid is still out there.

It's going to be a lot of traffic out th

Alright, let's give it a try.

Get one of the animals from the
tank. I will clear it with
Monahan.

It's worth a try.
Thanks Doc. Let's go.

Pull it all the way up.
Ready.

Leslie, don't get underneath
it. Get back.

Go find the boat.

Go find the boat. Go find Joey.

Go find the boat. Go find Joey!

Go find the boat! Go find Joey!

There he goes. Now we

find out if the training pays off.

Joey!

Joey!

Can't see much in this fog.

Joey! Joey!

Fog's thicker captain.

Joey!

I brought you a cup of hot
coffee.

Warm enough?
Yes, thank you.

Sorry about that dolphin.

It was worth a try. Sorry it
didn't work.

Yeah.
Hey Doc, the Geronimo is
coming in!

Ahoy pier! Hey throw me a line!

Tie everything up!

You think they found Joey?

You found him?
No luck! We came in for fuel.

Could use some hot coffee.

Come up and get it while they are refuel the lines!

Come on. You can do it.

You saw nothing at all?
No sign of the boat. It's so
small and in this fog.

I don't know what your chances
are of seeing him in the dark,
but you gotta try.

Well, I can't help but feel
that the fog is gonna lift.

We were getting some breaks and with a l
Look!

Hey the kid's OK!
He got him!

Oh boy!

Good boy! Yes sir!

It's alright. Come on son. Let's go.
I knew the porpoise

would do it!

Are you alright?

Are you alright?
Sure, but I'm hungry.
Well, I'm gonna take

you home and feed you the best
meal you have ever had in your
life. Whatever you want.

Good job Doc.

Well, I guess I won't be seeing
you for a while, but I'll be
back

on the weekends. My mother and
my aunt say I have to go to
school. Even Doc

thinks it's a good idea.
You know, we're really gonna
miss you around here.

Yeah, we are all gonna
miss you a lot.

Hey Joey.

Boy, you sure gave

us a bad scare. Why did you do just a th

gonna take me home. I don't
know. I got in that home and I
got lost.

Well, everything turned out OK.
Kind of, but I won't be seeing
you for

a while.
But your aunt, I'll talk to
her.

starts Monday. I go to school.
Oh yeah,

you go to school. I want you to
go to school and be smart,
because I don't want you to be

a dumb fisherman like me.
The best darn fisherman in the
whole

world. In America anyway.

Joey, come over here.

I'm going up to the whale tank.

While you were gone, I

moved your friend up on top.
He's gonna be one of the stars

of the show.
I knew he would make it!

Hi fella!

Hey, how about that? When did
you start

a thing like that.
Oh, his tongue itches. He's my
friend and I scratch it for him.

Haven't I told you? Ah, forget it.

Well, fella, I won't be seeing
you for a while.

I got to go back to school.
If only fish were at the
school.

Very funny. I can learn more around here

You know what you said. I let
you work here,

and you go back to school and
you work hard, right?

Right.
OK.

I'm hungry. How about you?
Me too!
Let's go.

Yeah!

Joey, hurry up and finish your
breakfast. The bus will be here
in a minute.

Alright. School..yuck.

Remember our agreement? I mean,
you got to work at Marine Land,
didn't you?

Yeah.
What was that?
I mean yes ma'am.

I said I'd go to school, but I
didn't say I'd like it.

That's enough of that .There's
your bus. Now hurry on.

Hurry up! They're waiting for
you!

Doc, the news reel camera man
and our photographer want to go
in and shoot

some pictures in the tank. Is that OK?PP

Doc, he won't eat.

What do you thinks wrong with him?
I will know more as soon as I get time with him.

Easy. Easy.

Easy.

Easy there. What's wrong with
him Doc?

I should know tomorrow.

What do you think Doc? Why
won't he eat?

I'll know more as soon as I get
blood samples.

What about our

star Doc? Will he be ready to work Satur

run blood through a lab test.

You sit down

and eat your breakfast like a gentleman.

Saturday is a busy day at Marine Land.PP

sit and eat your breakfast properly.
Ah darnit.
Besides that

I don't think they're going to
have too much time to bother
with you today. Jack

Dr. Fredericks said that they
have a very sick whale on their
hands.

My whale's sick?
He's not your whale, and

yes he's sick.
Well, he's my friend and I got
to go see

him.
Well for heaven's sake.
Whoever heard of having a whale
as a friend?

Well, he's my whale and I'm
needed down there.

Alright, alright, we'll drive
you down, but first eat your
breakfast.

Hey, what's your hurry?
I heard my friend is sick.
Your friend?

Yeah!
Oh, the whale.

See if it'll work.

Physically he's fine.

What's the matter with him Doc?
Is he gonna be alright?

It's alright Joey. It's just
like people. Sometimes they
don't feel like working.

He doesn't feel so good because
he's not eating, and I caught
his favorite kind of fish.

Can I see him please. He's my
friend.

Yeah, sure. It's OK. Don't be
disappointed if he ignores you.

Hi there old fella.

Did you miss me? Aren't you ashamed of y

You had everybody worried and
you wouldn't do your act.

Just because you didn't feel
like it. How would it be if we
all

did that. Look at me. I got to
go to school whether I feel

like it or not. See all those
people coming in?

Well they come in to see you
and all those kids...well, they
come in to see you to.

If you want the fish, you got
to work for them, OK?

He's OK now. We had a little
talk and he said he'll do the
show.

He said what?
Well now you know Joey. He
missed you. That's why he
wouldn't work.

You know something. I think
you're right. Well, what are
you waiting for? Get the show
on the road.

You wanna put him through his paces?
Honest? You mean it?

With the audience and everything?
Let's go.
Sure thing. Without him, there
wouldn't be a show.

Well, you're the best darn
trainer in the whole world.

Well, in America anyway.

It's showtime and
welcome to the

killer whale coliseum.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,
the youngest animal trainer in

the world, Joey!

Come on Orci!

Do it! Bow for the people.

Joey brings Orci for
a great big bow and here he
comes.

Orci!
Yay!

Hey, will you look at that kid
out there with those

killer whales. Are they gonna let him ru
He's my nephew.

I'm his aunt Meg.

OK, Orci,

you get a lot of fish.

OK,

Orci needs a little reward for
that. So, let's give him one
right down the old hatch.

And now ladies and gentlemen,
the most difficult act we have
here at Marine Land.

Joey, our trainer at the far
side will instruct our trainer

Joe to actually get into the
tank and ride Corky around the
tank.

Watch out now! Low bridge.

And here they are. Back home,
safe

and sound. Joe and Corky, with
a job well done.

Not to be done all done, Joey
makes a deal with Orci for a
trip to Catalina next week.

And they shake on it.

OK, Orci and Corky leaping up
and out of the water on their
sides. This is what the old

whalers refer to as reaching.

Hey, Joey has decided

that Orci has an itchy tummy.
So he wants you to get right
down on that platform and take
care of that itch.

And any

friend of Joey's is a friend of
Orci. Are you ready Joe?

now that's confidence, courage.

Stupidity? And that concludes
Joey's show

so stars wave goodbye!

I'm so glad that school is
out. I really need a change.

See what summer's all about

vacation in my brain.

Tired of all these same old
faces. I need some one brand
new

some one that I can laugh and
run with

and tell my secrets to. I'm
looking for friend

I'm looking for a friend

I'm looking for a

friend.

I'm looking for a friend.

I'm looking for a friend.

Looking for a friend.
