Flipper Page #2

a screw-up teenager like you.

You don't know me.

You know nothing about me.

Tell you what I do know, kid.

This here is the earth.

This is the great big ocean.

Here's our tiny island. Your mum

is way over there.

No matter how you scream,

she can't hear ya.

You got no friends, no money,

no malls to hang around. You're stuck.

All you have is me.

So get used to it.

And relax. Got a long, ugly

day ahead of us... and night.

Gonna use that pillow?

Thanks.

He snored all bloody night!

Dh man!

Is nothing sacred?

Jeez!

Get off there!

Look...

Since I know you love being here,

I'll make a deal.

You work for me,

help clean this mess up,

and I'll get you

to that concert in Drlando.

How?

I don't even have tickets.

Kid, this is Porter Ricks.

If it exists, I can get it.

We'll make that show.

We?

- Think I'd let you go alone?

Besides, I can dig the Chili Peppers.

Not the Beach Boys, but who is?

Is it a deal?

Haul her in!

Start with the fish pan netting. Mast

and stuff's in the shed or in town.

I'm gonna have to stay

with the boat on the mainland.

You gonna be alright?

- I'll be fine.

Cathy will drop in on you.

You can reach me through

the coastguard station.

But nothing's gonna happen, right?

- Right.

Right.

You...

Like my dolphin?

- Your dolphin?

That's right. I found him.

What's his name?

His name's Flipper.

Never seen one alone like this.

Alone he'd be no match for Scar.

- Who's Scar?

The hammerhead that stalks

these waters. Big and ugly.

They say he took out a tourist boat.

He likes those out-of-towners.

That jerk tried to kill Flipper.

He was shooting at him.

That's Dirk Moran, a bottom-feeder.

What are you doing?

- I'm hypnotizing him.

It's not working.

You make him do something.

Dkay. Sure.

Alright.

Alright, Flipper...

What do you wanna do today?

Jump!

Awesome!

You know...

- Where did he go?

I'm Kim.

- Sandy.

He's hungry.

- Really?

Where d'you get fish to feed him?

- Feed him?

He's your dolphin.

- Well, yeah...

Come on, I got an idea.

Lookin' good, Porter.

- Thanks.

Did most of it myself.

Most of it.

Now I just have to pay for it.

Take a lesson from your nephew.

He's becoming quite a businessman.

What's he been up to?

- You'll see!

Fish go in the bucket. Dne dollar

to see Flipper, the Wonder Dolphin.

FLIPPER THE WDNDER DDLPHIN

Dne dollar. Did you put your fish in?

Dne dollar. In there. Wow!

TDSS A QUARTER. FLIPPER RETURNS.

DRDP 25 CENTS HERE

PENNIES:

Don't ask me,

I can't explain how he does it.

What's this, a penny?

It's a Lincoln penny!

Vintage, man! Enjoy!

Marvin! Come on in. No charge!

1 dollar, thanks. Fish in the bucket.

1 dollar, thanks.
