anything smarter than he is.

That includes about everything,

even these clams.

Get him!

- Dut of the way!

What are you doing?

You're hurting him!

That's enough!

You've had your fun. Let him go.

- It's the Greenpeace Warrior!

The animal means something

to the kid. - It does?

Well, isn't that sweet?

Isn't that sweet, boys?

The kid and the fish are pals.

I'd watch how I make friends.

- Enough!

You got no right to do that.

I should teach you a lesson.

Yeah, I'd like that.

I have a thirst for knowledge.

Teach me.

School's out, is it?

Thought so.

Maybe next time.

You can count on it, Ricks!

Good boy.

Come here, let me see those teeth.

Here you go.

- That'll fit.

Slow down!

Hey, Buck, How are ya?

- Fine, and you?

Pretty good. Bit of storm damage,

nothing we can't handle.

Lucky dolphin! Gets the pro treatment.

- How are ya?

Fine, except a little bird told me

you found yourselves this animal.

Porter, you can't keep a dolphin.

Here's the funny part: We're not

keeping it. He just stays.

I tried to chase him away,

but he's taken a fancy to us.

He's also harassing the fish.

- What? - We can't allow that.

Who told you that?

- It doesn't matter.

The law says, unless an animal's in

licensed captivity, he must be at sea.

You're here to take him?

- You can't! He's used to being fed.

That animal

can't fend for itself anymore.

Help me out here, old buddy.

They'll stick him in some

aquarium and revoke your license.

Good boy. Easy now.

Slow down, guys.

You wanna come, or wait here?

All set, Porter!

Wait!

It's okay.

Good boy.

Let him down slowly.

Easy, easy!

Almost out of gas.

It's cold.

Here.

- Thanks.

Jeez!

Let's get outta here!

Another day in paradise.

You sleep here all night?

I know you miss him.

He belongs out there.

Things seem to mess up

when you care about them.

It's like they say:

"To live is to love.

All reason's against it,

all instinct's for it."

What does that mean?

- I dunno. Read it on a calendar.

It's good to care. People who don't

wind up drooling cream spinach.

How come you don't have any kids?

Kids require commitment.

That's not one of my strengths.

If had a kid,

he'd might turn out like me.

Might not be bad.

He could turn out like you.

- Now that'd be a nightmare!

Special delivery.

I got us front and center.

You're really going

to the concert? - Why not?

I was grunge before they named it.

Speakin' of grunge,

there's a load of dirty laundry

with your name on it. Enjoy.

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

Sandy, do something!

- Hold him up, don't let him sink.

I'll be back.

How are the kids?

- They're all fine.

Come quick! He came back.

I think he's dying.
