Fish go in the bucket. Excuse me!

You need a fish to get in.

I don't have to pay, Kim.

I own this circus.

What's going on here?

- Dh, hi!

My best havanas! - It's the

Flipper Show! - Who's Flipper?

Alright, the Flipper Show is over.

All you kids go home, now!

Come on.

- Sorry.

You can have your fish back.

Give me my fish!

- Now!

See ya, Sandy.

Go easy on him, Mr. Ricks.

You were gonna fix the house!

- I did it so Flipper could eat.

Who do you think you're dealing with?

You did it to turn some coin.

I didn't do too bad

for myself either. Hey!

Half cut!

As for you, you oversized guppy...

I'll have to bring out the heavy guns.

We're gonna try a new approach.

It's called "Dealing with your crap."

This is how it works. Number 1:

You're gonna take responsibility for

your actions and the consequences.

Number 2:
You're

gonna start getting up on time.

And at work,

you're gonna hump, not gripe.

You'll have to use your brain,

the weakest muscle in your body.

And as fo the dolphin:

If the damn thing won't go away,

you'll feed it. In your own time.

And stand up straight!

Dh, and you wanna be

a big man with a cigar, right?

Fire up that puppy!

Keep it stoked! From now on,

when I smoke, you smoke.

Washed your hands? Sit down.

Stogies down.

Let's eat.

Mom, when are you picking me up?

- In 2 weeks. What's in your mouth?

Cigar.

- A what?

I've been smokin' up a storm.

Uncle Porter lets me drink beer.

He also knows a lot of

loose women. - Put your uncle on!

Yeah, Porter.

- He can't smoke. He's just a kid!

Hang on a sec, love...

It's DK,

he' s about to kick the habit.

Ready for another?

Dh, please,

I'll never smoke again!

Good. Now go and

take care of that poor little fish.

Good boy. Thanks.

Bring it to Sandy. Go on!

Porter!

I can't find Marvin anywhere.

I'm really worried. - Jump in.

1 minute 20.

Hey, Sandy!

Marvin, what's up?

Cool, huh?

Come on down.

Careful on the dock, Marv.

It's kinda slippery!

Alright, Marv. Meet Flipper!

Marvin!

- Flipper!

Way to go, Marv!

Are you guys telling secrets?

We were wondering what the deal

is with you two? - What d'ya mean?

You in for the long haul,

or is it just a fling?

Sorry, is that the wrong question?

Not at all, Sandy.

I'd be interested in the answer.

Eat up, it's getting cold.

Well, the gang's all here.

Word has it you have a pet dolphin.

I wouldn't call it a pet, Dirk.

No? The way fishing's been,

we don't need a dolphin...

to tear holes in nets and steal bait.

But you know that, don't you?

We're talking about one dolphin.

- You stay out of this.

Dne dolphin is one too many.

Bad smell around here.

What's his problem? - He resents
