The Day of the Dolphin Page #3

... so that you can do me this very

small favor.

The fact is Dr. Terrell does not want visitors,

strangers, at the center.

Why? Is he hiding something?

No, of course not.

He is scared someone's going to run off

with that good looking little girl he's married to.

I don't think that's a particularly

nice thing to say Mr. Mahoney.

Forgive me please.

I have a terrible habit of making thoughtless

statements. I'm dangerously unrefined.

Dangerous eh?

Look, let's leave it at this...

I'll take these,

and I'll leave this with you.

It's sort of a first draft of an article

I was considering. You'll find it interesting.

It's about the Franklin Foundation.

I'd really prefer doing something along the lines

we were discussing, but you read it and see what you think.

Are you a blackmailer Mr. Mahoney?

Good lord no. I'm just an average guy...

... With an above average curiosity. Of course

I makes friends easily.

Yes, I see that.

That's why I have access to a lot of files,

information, public, and private, all

kinds of sources.

Listen, when we get to know each other better I tell

you some things about yourself that will simply astound you.

No, Fa...

- Good boy, come on.

- What. - No, no, no, no. ha-a-a, ha-a-a.

- Come on Fa. - Good.

- No, not good.

- Fish, Fa want fish? - Yes.

- Well, Pa give fish. Fa say Hand. Arahhhh!

Alfa, I'm deeply disappointed in you this morning.

You really a pain in the ass.

Ass!

Jake!

Jake, can you hear me?

Maggie?

That's right. How's it going?

I'm thinking of selling him

and getting myself a parrot.

Jake we have a visitor.

I'll be right down.

Pa-a-a?

No! You can't say a simple word like hand.

Hand ...

Beautiful, simply beautiful.

Its like being in another world.

- What's the problem Harry? You can't accept

the possibility that I just wanted to drop in?

Drop in?

See how you were getting along? No.

You know Jake ...

the foundation subsidizes, fully and partially, an extraordinarily

eclectic group of...

... scientists, artists, writers, 2 medical research centers,

a library, a yearly international students conference...

Am I boring you?

Oh I'm sorry. It just the beer.

The point is Jake we're sincerely interested in

the work of all these people.

We like to think it's a

co-operative venture.

Yeah?

It's not a charity!

Of course not. Basically, it one

gigantic tax write off.

That's a little joke

Harold, don't take it seriously.

The Board of Directors of the

Franklin Foundation ...

... is considering withdrawing its support

for the Terrell Marine Center.

They are what ... ?

Let's take a little walk.

What are you doing in there?

In where?
