I hate to wake you in the middle of the
night, but after that pneumonia scare, I-
She's all right. It's just a common cold.
Now, of course, I need my assistant
to verify my prognosis.
Kirra?
Come on over.
Take these...
...and listen right here.
- You hear that gurgling sound?
- Mm-hm.
It means she's got a common cold.
[SAM & KIRRA CHUCKLE]
He's had this for about six weeks.
It's okay.
- See his tongue in there?
- Uh-huh.
So cute.
[SAM CHUCKLING]
SAM:
Wow.
[LAUGHING]
What is an animal that starts with A?
Ant is an animal that starts with A.
What is an animal that starts with B?
Bear is an animal that starts with B.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
[LAUGHING]
[TUBA PLAYING]
SAM: Pumpkin, just because your
band teacher wants you to learn the tuba...
...doesn't mean you have to.
What about the flute?
[MOOS]
I think Matilda agrees.
Can you hand me that can of nails
over there, please?
[GRUNTING]
Dad? Dad?
I'll call an ambulance.
You can go in now.
MAN:
Hey, you're doing fine, Mrs. Black.
KIRRA:
Oh, my goodness.
Can I hug you?
Of course. Come here, baby.
How do you feel?
About the same as I look, I reckon.
I'm gonna be here
for six weeks minimum.
- Six weeks?
- Yeah.
We need someone to take care of you.
- I can take care of myself.
- I know you can, only not really.
- Yes, I can.
- Oh, you can't stay home alone.
I was thinking
about sending you to Aunt Cathy's.
Her dog chews up everything I own.
- What about Uncle Phil?
- Dad.
Which leaves Grandpa Gus.
- You told me he was a nutcase.
- And he lives in South Africa.
I am not going to South Africa.
I'm going to stay right here with you.
Six weeks, six months, six years.
- Anything it takes.
SAM: I'm gonna miss you.
- Don't, Kirra-
- I can't hear you.
- Kirra, please take those off.
- Not going to South Africa.
[SHELLY FRAYLEY'S "UP UP AND AWAY"
PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES]
MAN:
Kirra? Hi, Kirra.
Hi. You're Kirra, right?
Yes. Something tells me
you're not my grandpa.
I'm not your grandfather,
but he sent me to come pick you up.
Hi, my name is Mansa Kampur.
Gus Grisby sent me.
- I was notified you'd be here.
- Okay.
AIR HOSTESS: I just need you to sign this.
MANSA: Okay.
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you. Bye.
These your things?
Okay. Welcome to South Africa.
MAN 1 [OVER PA]: Your attention, please.
No parking at the white curb.
MAN 2:
Taxi, over here.
[MANSA & OFFICER SPEAKING
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Whew.
[ENGINE SPLUTTERING]
Ah. There's my baby.
How come my grandpa wasn't here
to pick me up?
Uh, it's because he's in the middle
of a very important business negotiation.
[HORIZONTAL LADIES CLUB'S "WINNING"
PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]
Okay. Have to take three cards.
GUS:
I'll take a single.
Being confident, eh, Gus?
Ooh.
What the heck.
My granddaughter's getting in today,
buy her a nice present.
Five hundred.
WAITRESS:
Here you are.
I'm all in.
GUS:
I call.
Well, I got an eight and two threes.
- Ha, ha, ha.
ROLF: Oh, and, uh...
Gus, you better rethink that present.
[CHILDREN SHOUTING
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
So, what do you think?
Your new home.
I'll get your bags.
Your grandpa
always wanted to be a pirate.
Come, let me show you inside.
And here it is.
Okay, wait. Let me close the door.
It's not much,
but at least it's oceanfront.
Come. Let me show you your room.
Let me just get that for you.
Here.
And that too.
You know what? It's not bad.
I could clean it.
I could paint that pillar pink over there,
I think.
Or maybe blue, or whatever you want...
...and then I'll get my wife
to make some new curtains.
Thanks for your help.
I'll be outside the room if you need me.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[KNOCKING]
Kirra?
Open up, young lady. I wanna see you.
Why didn't you come to the airport?
Huh. Didn't Mansa tell you?
I got an important job I'm working on.
But I did get you a present.
Yes, I did. I got it right here.
I really, really wanna go home.
Can you call my dad?
I'm sorry I wasn't able to pick you up.
But you'd understand if you'd been there.
[DOOR SLAMS]
[ANIMAL SQUAWKING]
GUS:
Give me a break, will you? I'm coming.
Yes, I hear you.
Yes, Engelbert.
If your head felt like mine...
...you wouldn't be so chipper,
you little twerp.
Be there in a minute.
Kirra, breakfast.
I really just wanna go home.
Can't you just call my dad?
[DOOR CLOSES]
Hey. Don't move.
Let me just look at you.
Jeez, look a little like your mom.
Kind of spooky.
How come you don't have
any pictures of her anywhere?
What, you don't like my decor?
I'm not much into hugs
and all that nonsense...
...but I did get you a present.
There you go.
I'm not 6 anymore, you know?
Come on, I'll show you around.
Where did you get the penguin?
Engelbert?
Bought him for the petting zoo.
Spend more money
on the bugger's fish habit...
...than I do on my own groceries.
You gonna stay in this dump all day?
Five tickets to ride this beauty.
You can ride it all day long
if you want, for free.
This is one of the kids' favorites.
It's why it gets a lot of wear and tear.
So, what do you think?
Pretty amazing, huh?
Kids come from miles around
to see this place.
You got unlimited access.
Lucky girl, huh?
Hey, slow down there, matey.
BOY:
Hey.
[GUS ROARING]
I'll throw you in the brig,
you little rascal.
I'm getting too old for this.
We got all kinds of animals here.
Ostriches, pigs.
If you're brave enough,
you can get on one of those angry donkeys.
Do you know how to play darts?
- We got those-
- Excuse me.
- We got-
- Hi.
This park is a rip-off.
I mean, nothing works.
The putt-putt's pathetic,
the slide's filthy...
...the merry-go-round's broken.
I bought five tickets for my son
to ride the donkey-
- King George lll. That's his name.
- The sign says "Donkey rides. "
- There's no "riding. "
- You want me to whip him?
Would that make you happy? Huh?
WOMAN: I'm not asking you to- No.
GUS: Let me get my whip.
WOMAN: Please, listen.
- Ma'am, I'm kidding.
I'll be right there.
- Sifiso.
SIFISO: I'll be right there.
Oh, captain, my captain.
Sifiso, meet Kirra. Kirra, Sifiso.
- Kirra. What a beautiful name.
- Thanks. Sifiso's nice too.
Yeah, Sifiso's got some pipes on him.
He moonlights crooning
at the local restaurants. Come on, son.
Give us some of those golden tones.
[SINGING ARIA]
GUS: Well, he ain't Elvis,
but he can get the job done.
Listen, I gotta see if King George lll
can move a few inches.
Show Kirra around the rest of the park.
SIFISO:
Come on this way.
And this is our water slide.
It's our main attraction.
You have to try it.
This is our 18th hole. Isn't it cool?
Wow.
And we have amazing
soft-serve ice cream.
Let's go check it out.
Gus. Gus. I fixed it.
Mansa. Mansa, I asked you
to fix the spout on the porpoise...
...so that it spouts water.
I know, but I also found a way
to make it spout the ball, see?
I can see that kid playing another round
of putt-putt with the same ball.
- That's a problem?
- Yeah, as a business model.
The idea is for our porpoise here
to swallow the ball.
The kid runs to his mom and hits her up
to pay for another round of putt-putt.
- It's very simple.
- Okay.
What I'll do is that
I'll have it spout water so high...
...it'll arc that way.
I'll have music playing.
- It'll have a rainbow effect.
GUS: No, no rainbows.
Mansa, just a nice little spout.
Just, pff, a puff. That's it.
It'll be beautiful.
No, it'll be noon too,
and you gotta do your thing.
Can't Sifiso do that?
You know he doesn't fit the costume.
Work with me, Mansa.
Sorry. Thank you.
Hello, children.
I'm the whale crier of the San people.
And we had the ability to beckon whales
using horns made of kelp.
- Call them already.
- Yeah, we wanna see some whales.
GIRL: Yeah.
WOMAN: Come on.
[HORN SQUEALING]
Did you see that? I saw one.
- Where?
- Where?
There.
That's a bird diving.
Yeah. It saw the spout
and wants the whale's leftovers.
Boring.
Wait, wait.
You're not gonna win any Oscars
with that.
I'm not an actor. I'm a handyman.
But you're the one who told me
your people used to do this.
Mansa is from the Sand People.
No, no, no.
Sand People were from Star Wars.
- I'm from the San.
- That's what I said, Sand, Sand.
They used to blow these seaweed horns
and whales would come.
Incredible.
Then they'd club them to death.
People have to eat, Gus.
Heh, I know that.
- Can I get back to work now?
- Yeah.
But tomorrow, son,
a little more oomph, okay?
- It all happens right here in the lips.
- Okay.
[HORN BLOWING]
GUS: Now, that's what I'm talking about.
See that?
Vibrate the lips.
Now can I call my dad?
GUS:
All right.
He wasn't there. I left a message.
He was with the doctor.
I gotta go into town
to pick up a few things.
You wanna come?
[ENGINE SPLUTTERING]
Come on.
Come on, come on.
Every time I let Mansa drive
this piece of junk, he breaks it.
Ever feel like you wanna put
everything you own in one big pile...
...and just light it on fire,
burn it down?
No.
But I can see why you would.
[ENGINE CONTINUES SPLUTTERING]
How did you end up
all the way down here anyway?
That's a long story.
[CHUCKLES]
Well, if we're gonna wait
for the car to fix itself...
After your grandmother and I divorced,
I looked at a map...
...found the point farthest from all the
people I knew at the time, said, "There"...
...sold everything I had and came here.
Just like that?
Just like that.
Took what little savings I had...
...and bought this dump.
MAN:
Take that one out there.
How come you didn't come back
for my mom's funeral?
That's another long story.
Come on.
[GRUNTING]
Hey.
- Whoa.
- Impressive, huh?
I used to be the only game in town
until this knucklehead moved in...
...stole all my business.
Speak of the devil.
Hey, Gus.
I feel so bad about that beating I gave you
at the poker table yesterday.
Oh. This must be your granddaughter.
I'll tell you what, girl.
I'll give you a ticket
if you wanna enjoy a real park.
Wouldn't go in there if you paid me.
ROLF:
Ouch.
Seems this little girl
has some of her grandpa's spunk.
And his good looks, you ugly sucker.
KIRRA:
Actually, does look kind of fun.
If you're into that sort of thing.
[THUNDER RUMBLES]
GUS: I better get moving
before we get rained on.
KIRRA: Come on.
GUS: Careful, watch your step, Kirra.
[DONKEY BRAYING]
KIRRA:
Come into the barn.
MANSA: Push him, please.
GUS: Hurry.
KIRRA:
Come on.
GUS:
Come on. Push him in.
KIRRA:
Hurry.
MANSA:
Get the little pig inside.
GUS:
Quick, quick. Over here.
Give me a hand.
- That's it. Yeah.
MANSA: Push it from back there.
[THUNDER CRASHING]
[WHISTLING]
GUS:
Got any more bowls?
The pots are filling up.
Ah. Now you're talking.
Gee, sounds like it's raining in here.
- Because it is.
- Yeah.
More water for your swimming pool,
Engelbert.
Whew.
[KIRRA GIGGLES]
Good night, Engelbert.
GUS:
Sleep tight.
Good night.
[ANIMAL SNORTS]
Look at you.
Wow. Oh, my gosh.
SIFISO:
Whoa! How did he get in here?
He must've washed over this wall.
- And now he's trapped.
SIFISO: Wow.
Look at his teeth.
- Do you think he bites?
- No, not people.
They're as friendly as dolphins.
And anyway, he's just a baby.
If Gus sees him, it's all over.
What do you mean?
You know those cartoons
when the characters see...
...dollar signs in their eyeballs?
Ka-ching, ka-ching.
You're right.
We have to get him out of here.
GUS:
Sifiso.
Why don't you and Mansa
take the big squeegee...
...and clear off the putt-putt area?
I'll meet you after my swim.
SIFISO: Okay.
GUS: Slow down, you little bugger.
SIFISO: Go.
KIRRA: Go away.
SIFISO: Go, go.
KIRRA: Go.
- Go. Shoo.
SIFISO: Get- Get going.
- Go, go.
GUS: Kirra.
Your dad called.
I told him you'd call right back.
Okay.
Jeez, like swimming in the East River.
Yeah, it looks disgusting.
This is as clean as it gets.
The storm waves flush this place out
like a big toilet.
[SQUEAKING]
GUS:
I'll be right there, Engelbert.
[SQUAWKS]
[WILLY WHISTLES]
- Did you hear that?
- Hear what?
That noise.
No.
Wait, wait, wait. Um...
I think that King George is sick.
You might wanna call a vet
or something.
He's half dead as it is.
Wouldn't do no good.
We have to say something.
Engelbert, come on, man. Dive in.
[SQUAWKS]
MANSA:
Gus. Gus, there's a shark.
[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
- Gus, get out of the water.
SIFISO: Will you shut up?
[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
- Keep it down, keep it down. Shh.
MANSA: What?
It's not a shark. It's an orca.
MANSA: Are you sure?
- It's an orca.
What a piece of junk.
Paid 25 bucks and look at them.
Water drops a few degrees
and they fog up.
What are you standing around for?
You need an invitation?
The grounds are into shambles.
We got customers coming.
That's a good idea. I love to clean up.
- Me too.
- Yeah, me too.
KIRRA: It's fabulous.
- Come on, you prima donna.
[WATER SPLASHES]
Hold up.
You had to hear that.
You know, there's something in there.
Look at the ripples on the water.
Probably the wind.
No.
I saw something.
[LAUGHING]
Please, tell me
I'm not the only one who saw that.
Did you see that? Is that like a-
A porpoise or something?
Or a whale? Uh, maybe...
It's- It's- It's...
It's trapped.
Oh, ho!
My prayers have been answered.
I have no idea what I possibly
could've done to deserve this...
...but thank you.
Thank you. Whee, hee, hee, hee!
Oh, yes. Kids, we're rich.
- Ka-ching, ka-ching.
GUS: We're in the money now.
We're rich. Yes, yes, yes.
GUS:
Mansa, we're running out of time.
Use that knot I taught you.
But Gus,
even if he does jump over this railing...
...how's he gonna make it
past all these rocks?
I'm not taking any chances.
How about we put him back
in the ocean?
Are you out of your gourd?
A real live orca washes in here
out of the blue, lands in my lap...
...and you want me to let him go?
Can you not see the divine in this?
He came here for a reason.
KIRRA:
He belongs in the wild.
GUS: Yeah, well, there are bad,
evil-doing creatures out there in the ocean.
Sharks, octopuses, giant squids...
...who only wanna do harm to our guy.
We let him go and he's gonna end up
on their lunch plate, guaranteed.
But what if his family is right out there
waiting for him?
I don't see them.
Anyway, do you really care?
I thought you said you wanted to go home.
I changed my mind.
Good, then you can help with the railing.
Get gloves on.
- What's he gonna eat?
- Fish, of course.
We don't know if he's a resident
or transient orca.
He's a transient. Look at him.
No home, all alone.
No, transient as in eats
marine mammals, seals, sea lions...
...as opposed to resident,
which means he eats fish and squid.
So we'll throw him some fish,
some seal meat.
Whichever one he eats
will tell us what kind he is.
Where are you gonna get
the seal meat?
I can't imagine chicken
would taste any different.
All right, I'll call the marine-rescue people.
We'll see if they'll come out.
But in the meantime,
I'm gonna let people take a look at him.
And I'll tell you what.
I'll let you name him.
Okay. How about
Poor-Trapped-Innocent-Little-Orca?
You're a piece of work,
you know that?
- Fine.
- Come on. Anything, what?
- Willy.
- Willy?
Guys, Kirra's named the orca Willy.
Great, huh?
- Great.
- Okay.
But not too many people in here.
I don't wanna overexpose him.
Who said anything about overexposing?
MAN:
Get your candy floss. Only 5 rand.
MANSA: Orcas are the largest species
of the dolphin family.
Yeah. They're actually dolphins.
Basically dolphins. Uh...
Um...
They get the name killer whale...
[WHISTLES]
They get the name killer whale...
...from the various pack-hunting behavior
of these whales, yeah.
Now, the name Orcus-
This is interesting.
The name Orcus is the Roman god
of the underworld.
GUS:
Sir, come see Willy. You can't miss it.
MANSA:
And as for where they came...
GUS: All right, we got another Willy show
in an hour.
Ready for that?
Try the water slide.
We got putt-putt.
Come back for Willy.
They're gonna feed him.
That's something you don't wanna miss.
He's still not eating.
Maybe he's the savage kind
that eats seals.
KIRRA:
I looked him up.
Judging by his markings, he eats fish.
Have you called
the mammal-rescue people yet?
I left them a message.
What? I did.
Is that a beautiful sight or what?
That's how this place
is supposed to look.
Sifiso, we need to paint these huts.
Kirra, time for you to earn your keep.
We're gonna whip this place into shape,
shine her up.
[LAUGHING]
[GRUNTING AND LAUGHING]
[LAUGHING]
Hit the switch.
[WHOOPS]
[GUS SNORING]
I know how you feel.
You're scared and worried...
...and you don't think
anyone understands.
But I do.
See this?
That's my mom and me.
She died when I was 4.
I can barely remember her...
...but I can picture her eyes.
Big and green...
...and always happy.
My dad said
she was really smart and funny.
I miss him like crazy too.
If they had a contest for the best dad ever,
he'd win, hands down.
Even after they took away a few points
for him sending me down here.
But maybe that was for a reason.
Because if I didn't come here...
...I never would've met you.
So listen.
Whining and moping around
isn't gonna help either one of us.
I'll make you a deal.
You stay alive,
and I'll help you find your mom and dad.
We'll shake on this fish.
Please. Just a bite.
[SHRIEKS]
[WILLY SQUEALS]
No, no, no. I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to scare you, honest.
That was me being happy.
From now on, no screaming.
I did it. I did it. I did it. I got him to eat.
- I did it.
- You did it? What?
I got him to eat a fish.
- Good girl. What time is it?
- Time to celebrate, did you hear?
I heard. There's champagne in the fridge.
- It might be flat.
- You can't have champagne in the morning.
Orange juice?
- I don't like orange juice.
- It's healthy for you.
Healthy? It comes in a can.
Did you call
the marine-rescue people yet?
I left a bunch of messages.
Hm. I wonder why they didn't call back.
I'll check on the Internet later.
Maybe there's a different number.
That's a fine idea. Good job, kid.
I'm gonna go see
if Willy will eat any more.
MANSA: They are found throughout
the oceans, and you can get...
- Hey, Gus.
- What do you want?
I want that black-and-white fish there.
Mammal.
And he's not for sale.
ROLF:
Oh, everything's for sale.
Five hundred K. Ha, ha.
Okay.
What do you mean, okay?
I mean I'm in. Let's do it.
Why would you do
a stupid thing like that?
That's my business.
We got a deal?
No.
Why would you do
a stupid thing like that?
My business.
Fine.
Just answer this.
How long do you think
you're gonna keep him in there, you know?
Before some storm or high tide
washes him out over the lagoon barrier?
Where you gonna keep him?
I'll build an aquarium, expand my operation.
Some kind of a marine-aquarium thing.
I was thinking of doing the same.
Come on, Gus.
You haven't got the resources for that.
Gus, I am dealing you a good hand here.
Cash in your chips, take the money.
Enjoy your twilight years in style.
I'll think about it.
Don't think too long.
I gotta get started on the aquarium.
I said I'll think about it.
By the way,
why did you have to call him Willy?
What's wrong with Willy?
We're finished here.
- Mind if I check out the merchandise?
- Be my guest.
Jerk.
Hi, there. Remember me?
Hi.
- Does he eat a lot of those fish?
- None of your business.
It might be.
These things are flying off the shelf.
People can't get enough of them.
What did that creepy guy want?
Willy.
He's not getting him.
I repeat, he's not getting him.
But you are.
He's all yours.
[DIALING]
Don't make a habit of sitting there.
Why did you lie to me?
You told me
you called the mammal-rescue people.
- I did call them.
- Oh, really?
Huh. Well, what phone did you use?
I only have one.
I scrolled through
all the numbers you dialed.
You didn't call them.
How would you know the number?
It's on the Internet.
My Internet isn't working.
It is now.
I plugged the cord back in.
Actually, you haven't made a phone call in
the last three weeks other than to my dad.
Have you got no friends?
You can tell all that
by just looking at that thing?
It's pretty simple.
Whatever happened
to good old-fashioned phones?
The kind you just dialed.
Whatever happened to grandpas
sticking to their word?
Grandpas think better
when they're sitting in their chairs.
Why didn't you call them?
You promised me.
Isn't a promise worth more than money?
That's complicated.
- Hey.
- Willy is getting bigger and bigger.
And pretty soon,
he's going to die in that lagoon.
Then what are you gonna do?
Have him stuffed and put on display?
Kirra, you have no idea
how hard it is to keep this place afloat.
[CHUCKLES]
You're a piece of work, you know that?
MAN:
Okay, take it out.
Carefully, guys.
[WILLY WHISTLING OVER SPEAKERS]
BIOLOGIST:
Okay. Here's Willy.
We're using an array
of three hydrophones...
...to test his echolocation
and hearing abilities.
According to our tests...
...we're quite certain Willy hasn't
fully developed his echolocation abilities.
- Speak English, please.
- Okay. Echolocation.
Those clicks that you hear Willy making.
Those are sounds he emits underwater
which bounce off objects...
...so he can tell
whether there's fish or danger.
Like sonar on a submarine.
Yes, in fact,
the navy learned this from whales.
Ironically, navy subs
are currently using a powerful sonar...
...which seems to be damaging
the echolocation of whales.
It's maybe one reason
why Willy didn't learn to use this function...
...before he was separated from his pod.
He can make the clicking sounds,
but he can't interpret them.
Without his echolocation abilities
and especially without the help of his pod...
...he'd be lost and eventually starve.
So, what are you saying?
If we think he's gonna suffer,
we'll have to put him down.
No.
What if we can teach him
his echolocation skills?
We have no idea
how orcas teach their young.
- So it can't be done?
- Kirra.
We can't put him in the ocean
without his pod.
- He wouldn't survive.
- You're not gonna put him down.
Kirra, just let me talk to these folks.
I'll be right back.
Come here.
Excuse us.
We're gonna need more fish for Willy.
Can you take me to the harbor?
Kirra, I don't think you should get
too attached to Willy.
Because they're gonna come back
and kill him?
Those people are experts.
Just because they use big words
doesn't mean they're experts.
I'm gonna do it myself.
KIRRA: The killer whale
is the largest species of dolphin family.
The name killer whale
comes from the voracious-
His echolocation clicks.
Echolocation is used by toothed whales
to see underwater using sound.
Like he's lost balance in water.
KIRRA: Little is known of
the hearing frequencies of killer whales.
Orcas produce three types
of vocalizations.
Namely, clicks, moans and whistles.
Mammals of the southern
African subregions-
Assumed that the species-
- We need to get in the water with him.
- We?
Come on.
Here you go.
[WILLY MOANING]
Come on.
Yummy.
Here you go. I got a fishy.
Fishy.
Fine, be that way.
I'm not doing this for me, you know?
Nice computer you got here.
Hey. It gets the job done.
Jeez, this information superhighway thing's
pretty amazing, huh?
- Thank you.
- Oh.
Well, let me know if Her Highness
wishes anything else from the kitchen.
May I have a little bell to ring?
Your wish is my command, madam.
Thanks, Grandpa.
What?
I said, thanks, Grandpa.
Want me to call you Gus?
No. Grandpa's fine.
- What?
- Ha, ha. Just that, uh...
I...
I never thought
I'd hear that word grandpa.
I wasn't...
I wasn't much of a dad to your mom.
You know, I wasn't around all that much.
Where were you?
Racetrack.
Betting on horses and stuff?
Lost every penny the family had.
Then your grandma and I got divorced.
Your mom was just a little girl like you.
She didn't speak to me for years.
She never did?
Not for a long time.
She went to college in Oregon.
Met your dad there.
Then they moved down to Australia
to be close to his work.
And after that, she found out where I lived,
came to see me...
...and lent me a big chunk of their savings
to buy this place.
You know, fix it up.
But then, the money I was gonna use
to fix it up-
- You lost it.
- No, I didn't lose it.
I, uh...
I just- I made some bad investments.
At the racetrack?
Pretty much.
You never saw her after that?
I guess...
You know, I was-
I was, I guess,
embarrassed and ashamed...
...you know, to go to her funeral.
But I was also too broke
to buy a plane ticket.
She was a heck of a woman, your mom.
Wish I could say
I had something to do with that.
Well, thanks for telling me.
Yeah.
[PHONE RINGS]
Yeah. Gus, here.
Hello.
I'll jump back on but I got someone here
who's dying to speak to you.
Here you go.
Hello? Dad.
KIRRA:
Hi.
Come on.
Wanna have a bite?
It's good.
[GASPS]
[WHISTLING]
You're all right.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
Promise.
Come on.
That's a boy.
SIFISO:
Woo-hoo!
Oh, look at you.
[GIGGLES]
Oh, you're beautiful.
ROLF:
Yeah, so, what's this trainer done before?
Dolphins? That's perfect.
Yeah.
Need him to train a killer whale, orca.
Yeah, you know, jump through hoops,
that sort of stuff. Uh-huh.
Yeah. Squirt on demand.
Heh-heh. That's exactly it.
Balance a ball like a dolphin.
If dolphins can do it, why can't he?
Balancing a ball is good.
Yeah, yeah. Keep the crowds happy.
Oh, hold on. I'll call you back.
[VEHICLE APPROACHING]
BLIKKIE: Aw.
DIFF: Hey.
What's with the car?
BLIKKIE:
It's the wife's. Mine's broke.
ROLF: Did you bring the stuff?
DIFF: Mm.
Get on up here.
DIFF:
Happy little buggers.
I'll fix that.
Why not the whole thing?
ROLF: I'm not killing Willy,
just wanna make him sick.
Give Gus a little extra inspiration
to sell him to us at a discount.
How do you know how much to put in?
I know.
My wife tried this one on me.
They're looking pretty dead right now.
What happens if Willy won't eat them?
Well, then you stick him with this.
[LAUGHING]
Here you go, boy.
BLIKKIE: It's all right, boy.
We're not gonna harm you.
DIFF:
Yum, yum.
BLIKKIE: Come, Willy.
DIFF: Come on.
- Come on, Willy.
BLIKKIE: Come on, boy.
You like it, don't you?
Thing's got teeth, eh?
[BOTH YELLING]
Get him back here.
Go to the left.
- To the left, man.
DIFF: Come on, man.
BLIKKIE: No, your other left, you idiot.
DIFF: Oh.
BLIKKIE: Push him against the dock.
KIRRA: Hey.
What are you doing?
- Nothing, sweetheart, get back to bed.
- Grandpa.
Shh.
Where's Willy?
I think she saw the needle.
She can identify us.
Maybe you could do us a favor,
give us a hand.
We're big fans of Willy.
We just want a photograph next to him.
- Stay back.
DIFF: No need to shout.
Just one little picture, then we'll leave.
It's for Mom.
Big fish.
[WHISTLING]
[GRUNTING]
Diff. Diff.
DIFF: Oh!
BLIKKIE: Diff. Look out.
Hey, call that orca off.
- Call him off.
- No.
- Call him off. I'm not-
KIRRA: Get him, Grandpa.
Kirra, call the police.
[GRUNTING]
KIRRA:
Get him.
GUS: Oh, you're in trouble now.
KIRRA: Get them, Willy.
[DIFF & BLIKKIE SCREAMING]
[LAUGHING]
GUS: Oh, yeah, Willy.
KIRRA: Whoo!
BLIKKIE:
Wait for me. Ow!
Are you all right?
Yeah, but you're bleeding.
- He just clipped me.
- Gus? Where'd they go?
Where are they? Huh?
Right on time, Mansa.
Who were they, Grandpa?
I don't know,
but I think I know who sent them.
[BLIKKIE GRUNTING]
Keep it down.
[BLIKKIE GROANS]
Keep it down.
Ow.
[INTERCOM BEEPING]
MAN [OVER INTERCOM]:
Gus is outside, smoke coming out his ears.
- Let him in.
- I'm here if you need me.
How comforting. Close the door.
- You spineless sack of scum.
- Well, nice to see you too, Gus.
- Have a seat.
- You sent them. I know you did.
To poison Willy.
- Sent who? What are-?
- You wanted to kill Willy.
- I wanna own Willy, why would I do-?
- I was taking away from your business.
- Nonsense, you've barely made a dent.
- I know you're behind this.
Gus, it wasn't me.
I swear on my mother's life. My mother.
May she drop dead
of a terrible skin-rotting disease if I'm lying.
Have you reconsidered my offer?
No. You're not getting him.
You'll come around.
- Never.
- Fine.
The longer it takes,
the more desperate you're gonna become.
Willy's getting bigger,
that lagoon is getting smaller...
...as is my offer,
which just went down to 400.
If it wasn't you,
who would do a thing like that?
I don't know, Gus.
There are sick people in this world.
That is why you've gotta give him to me.
I mean, I've got the resources.
I can put security around his tank 24/7.
Willy will be happy. He'll be safe.
Yeah. Swearing on your mother's life?
That's a little bit harsh, eh?
You never met my mother.
I'm gonna stay here for the night.
- Those guys aren't coming back.
- Willy doesn't know that.
I'm gonna turn in.
- You okay?
- Yeah, I got the phone right here.
Don't let the bedbugs bite.
[GIGGLES]
[MOANS]
You'll be fine. It's okay.
They're gone.
See this? This is called a phone.
If anyone comes to bother us,
all I do is I push these buttons...
...and then the police come, see?
So you've got nothing to worry about.
You can just go to sleep.
[WHISTLES]
Not now.
I'm really tired.
What? Are you hungry?
Here you go. No fish?
Well, what do you want?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.
[LAUGHING]
Whoo! Yeah.
[KIRRA WHOOPS]
[KIRRA LAUGHING]
Grandpa, did you see him?
Oh, I see him, all right.
[CROWD CHEERING AND CLAPPING]
Yes, it's true.
Kirra is a remarkable young lady.
Go, Willy.
GUS:
No fear of this baby wild orca.
In fact, she and Willy are best of friends.
Let's hear it for her.
Yeah. Whoo.
Well done, my dear.
- How's Willy doing today?
KIRRA: He's doing great.
GUS:
You go, girl.
- How old are you?
- I'm 11.
[CHATTERING]
- Whoa.
- Hey.
I think we've got enough
to cover his fish bill.
Willy and I need our cut.
I'm gonna complete
the final part of his training.
Don't spend it all at once.
You have to stop using your eyes
and start using your sonar.
- What's that thing around his head?
- You'll see.
Ready? One, two, three.
[WHISTLING]
Okay, we're gonna try something different,
but you're gonna have to trust me, okay?
[SQUEALING]
Calm down, calm down. Shh.
I'm right here.
Try another one.
[WHISTLING AND CLICKING]
Good boy.
See, you found me.
Kirra, Willy's chowing hundreds of pounds
of fish a day.
- He's gonna eat me out of house and home.
- I just need a while longer...
...to get him up to speed
with his echolocation.
- He's eating me into bankruptcy.
- Give me a week.
But even if you get his sonar working,
you heard those marine biologists.
He can't be on his own
out there in the ocean.
One week.
One week.
Try another one.
[WHISTLING AND CLICKING]
He almost got it.
Start using your sonar.
[CLICKING]
[WHOOPS]
Let's see him try this.
I knew you could do it.
I am so proud of you.
Oh, good boy.
Come on, let's go.
He wants you to come for a ride.
I don't know about that.
[CLUCKING]
Come on, come on.
[LAUGHING AND WHOOPING]
GUS: How many tickets do you want?
WOMAN 1: Adult, one child.
Excellent. There you go.
Thank you very much. Have a good time.
Thank you. Let's go.
GUS: Hi.
WOMAN 2: Hi, one ticket.
GUS: All right. Wanna see Willy, huh?
WOMAN 2: Thank you.
GUS:
I thought I smelled something.
What do you want?
To tell you that in 15 minutes
my offer goes down from 400 to 300K.
[GUS CHUCKLES]
Gus, I can get cheaper orcas
from South America.
- Why don't you?
- Because I want Willy.
He belongs here. He's got a history here.
- If I have to, I'm gonna get on a boat-
GUS: You're not gonna have to.
We got a deal?
I don't have much of a choice.
He can't go back into the wild,
and he's getting too big to stay here.
You trying to convince me or you?
KIRRA:
Isn't he just gorgeous?
Five hundred K, and it's a deal.
KIRRA: He's just beautiful,
and he's a great marine animal.
Okay.
- I'll be ready for him in five days.
- I'll need 10.
Kirra's going back to Australia.
We'll wait till then.
Ten days it is.
Where are my sunglasses?
All we need is a crane
and we can lift Willy over the lagoon wall.
It's a big ocean out there.
You heard those biologists.
He can't survive without his pod.
But he can find them.
He knows how to use his sonar now...
...and anyway, anything's better
than life in a chlorinated pool.
Including starving to death?
Kirra, I think Willy came here
because he needs man's help.
For all we know,
the rest of his pod could've been killed.
He could be an orphan.
You don't get to pick your lot in life.
- If I can find his pod, will you help me?
- You're not gonna find his pod.
- Just give me a simple yes or no.
- I left them on the counter.
I'll find your sunglasses
if you give me a simple yes or no.
Yes or no to what?
If I can find his pod,
you'll help me set him free.
Yes, fine.
Now, where did you hide my sunglasses?
Try your melon.
Kirra, come down,
I have something to show you.
Okay.
- Hey, did you get the pieces?
- Yeah, I got it all.
Okay. Now, put it down there.
KIRRA: What are you making?
MANSA: A recording device.
Okay. Now, there's a piece of plastic
by the game booths. Can you get that?
- We'll be right back.
- Okay.
MANSA:
Take it down easy.
Slow, slow. Okay, Kirra.
KIRRA: Can you hear him?
- Shh. Shh. Shh.
[CLICKING AND WHISTLING]
Yes.
MANSA:
Let it down easy. Careful.
KIRRA: Do you think the pod
will hear Willy's sounds?
[WILLY CLICKING AND WHISTLING
ON RECORDING]
SIFISO: Anything?
- No.
Give them time.
Something we don't have.
Don't think like that.
Okay, okay.
We have to get your mind
off Willy's pod for one day.
Come on.
Let's go.
Uncle Rudy?
Well, look who's here.
He's even got a girlfriend with him.
That's not my girlfriend.
- Do you like them?
- Oh, yeah.
Well, what are you waiting for,
young lady?
Just put your arm
underneath his bum there.
Okay. That's it.
Stroke his ears. He loves it.
- Very good.
- There we go.
Isn't that beautiful?
You know what?
I think they're tired, they need a nap.
How about we go to a giraffe?
I've got a giraffe that needs feeding.
RUDY: There she is. There we go.
KIRRA: Whoa.
KEEPER: There we go.
RUDY: Oh, lovely. Fantastic.
KIRRA:
Beautiful.
It's amazing.
Let me give you a push, help you off.
- Don't be a stranger, now, bye-bye.
KIRRA: Bye.
SIFISO: Bye, Uncle Rudy.
- Thanks for everything.
[SINGING "HABANERA"]

It's Xhosa, my native language.
It means pleasure.
[SPEAKING IN XHOSA]
[CONTINUES SPEAKING IN XHOSA]
[SPEAKING IN XHOSA]
Talking about the dance.
So it's just turn, turn, kick.
KIRRA:
Turn, turn, kick.
KIRRA & SIFISO:
Turn, turn, kick.
- That's a totally different dance.
- Ha-ha.
KIRRA:
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Oh, my gosh.
KIRRA:
"Coming soon to Rolf's Wonda World. "
Gus is gonna sell Willy.
Come on, let's go.
There we go.
You just sign that final page there...
...and then we're done.
- You're gonna take good care of him?
- Yeah, of course I am. Come sign.
- You're having second thoughts, Gus.
- Of course I'm having second thoughts.
I just don't see
where I have much of a choice.
There you go.
It wasn't so hard, was it?
That's a lot of digits.
It's a lot of fish.
I'll be by in the morning with a transport.
Make it after lunch. Kirra leaves at noon.
I don't want her to watch you haul Willy.
No, no, no! Stop. Don't do it.
You're not getting him.
GUS: Whoa, slow down.
- Please, tell me you didn't.
GUS:
Kirra. Hey.
- Kirra.
- You're not getting Willy.
Oh, really? According to this, I am.
No, you're not.
- Ha, ha, ha.
- Give me that.
How could you? I trusted you.
- Give that to me.
- You got what you want.
- Go.
- And you got what you want.
Get out.
Nice kid.
[CRYING]
Why are you torturing me over this?
What choice did I have?
You took money. You sold Willy.
The fact that Rolf paid so much for him
will make him value Willy that much more...
...and he's gonna have
a very experienced trainer with him.
But who's gonna love him?
The kids that come from all over.
You know we can't keep him here.
And we can't put him back in the ocean.
He either goes to Rolf's...
...or the marine biologists
are gonna have to put him down.
I'm gonna miss him so much.
We're all gonna miss him, sweetie.
We all will.
To be honest about it,
I'm gonna miss you even more.
The place isn't gonna feel the same
without you.
It'll feel empty.
Just promise me
that you'll watch and make sure...
...that they're careful
when they're loading him.
I promise you.
Hi there.
[WILLY WHISTLES]
You can't have ice cream.
I came to say goodbye.
I have to leave tomorrow afternoon,
and you're going to a new home.
Maybe you'll like it there.
I didn't wanna come here,
and now I don't wanna leave.
You're not making this easy for me,
you know?
I said I'm sorry.
[ORCA WHISTLES]
[WILLY WHISTLING]
[GASPS]
That's what- That's what you were-
Why didn't you say so?
Yeah.
Grandpa.
They're here, they're here, they're here.
- What?
- Come on, they're here.
Willy's pod. They're here.
GUS: Yes, I'm coming, I'm coming.
- Come on.
They were right there. Come on.
- Come on, come on.
GUS: I'm coming.
You're missing it. Let's go.
- Go, come on.
GUS: Okay.
KIRRA:
Come on, come on, come on.
They were here, they were here.
They probably went underwater
or something.
Oh, but you should've seen them.
There were like 20 of them, circling.
Willy, where did they go?
- Sometimes when we want something...
- But they were.
...our imagination plays tricks on us.
My imagination wasn't playing tricks.
They were out there.
You just don't wanna believe it,
because then you couldn't cash your check.
That's not true.
If you saw them, then would you help me
get Willy in the water with them?
Of course I would.
Then help me. I wouldn't lie to you.
Maybe they went a mile north or south,
but they were right there...
...and if we get Willy in the water
with them...
...then when they hear him, they'll come.
Kirra.
Kirra.
[KNOCKING]
GUS:
Kirra?
Kirra, I'm gonna pick up
a few snacks for you for the plane ride.
Kirra, I'm sorry.
It's fine.
I'll be back around lunch. Let me know
if you need any help packing things up.
Okay.
Uncle Rudy.
Uncle Rudy.
- Uncle Rudy.
- Whoa, now.
- I need my Uncle Rudy. It's an emergency.
- Rudy went to town to pick up supplies.
SIFISO: When will he be back?
GROUNDSKEEPER: A couple of hours.
- Can I help you?
- No, we need him.
Got to drive to the far side
of the reserve if you wanna come.
No, it's all right. Thank you.
- We don't have a couple of hours.
- I know.
Wait. Let's go.
MAN 1: I've got it.
MAN 2: Come up here, boys.
Pick them up.
MAN 3:
There you go. Now you've got it.
MAN 2: There you go.
MAN 3: All right, it's almost done.
MAN 4:
There we are.
Okay, boys.
Let's lunch.
Over to the barn. Go up ahead.
SIFISO: Look for the keys.
KIRRA: The keys, okay.
Um...
Keys, keys.
SIFISO:
Got them.
- Do you know how to drive this thing?
- I've watched my Uncle Rudy.
Oh, yeah, I guess we'll be safe.
SIFISO: It can't be that much different
from a go-cart, can it?
There's one small problem.
KIRRA:
What?
Okay.
Help me put it in first.
KIRRA: Aah!
SIFISO: Oops.
Other way.
Okay.
- Help me put it in second gear.
- Okay.
KIRRA: Uh-oh.
- What do we do?
Uh... Uh...
Put this on, put this on, put this on.
GUARD: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, hey.
KIRRA: Don't stop.
Just keep going. Go, go, go, just wave.
GUARD:
Slow down, slow down. You're crazy.
I think we did it.
I think we did it.
KIRRA: We did it?
- Yeah, we did it.
We did it.
[SHRIEKS]
- High-five.
- I need both hands.
KIRRA:
Right. Both hands on the wheel.
Kirra for Mansa. Come in, Kirra.
Kirra here. What's the news?
I've got good news
and I have some bad news.
KIRRA [OVER RADIO]:
Okay, well, what's the bad?
I'm having technical difficulties.
And the good news?
Oh, um...
We found the pod.
KIRRA:
Aah! We got the pod. We got the pod.
SIFISO:
Got the pod. Yes.
- Whoo!
- Both hands.
[WHOOPS THEN LAUGHS]
Well, we'll meet you back at the lagoon.
Instead of bringing the pod to Willy,
we'll bring Willy to the pod, over.
[GRUNTING AND WHOOPING]
Oh, my gosh. The pirate.
Hey, slow down.
- Are we gonna fit underneath?
GUARD: Stop, stop.
Guess not.
KIRRA: You said you knew
how to work this thing.
SIFISO:
Which one makes it go down?
KIRRA:
Not that one, the other one.
- Careful. Whoa! Whoa!
SIFISO: I think I got it.
Wait till Mansa gets back.
You almost killed Willy.
[CRANE RUMBLES]
SIFISO:
What does that mean?
You broke it.
What should we do?
GUS: Hey.
- Oh, my.
What are you-?
You said you'd be back at lunch.
Are you sure you saw his pod out there?
Yes. And Mansa did too,
just a while ago.
Well, what are we waiting for?
Let's get this fish out of water.
Oh, my gosh,
you're the greatest grandpa ever.
All right, we don't have time for that.
- Get in here, we need your help.
MANSA: I've never worked one of these.
Figure it out. Kids, let's go.
Quickly, quickly.
Pull that strap around to the tail.
That's where he needs the support.
Kirra, help him with the other side.
Bring up that slack.
Looking fine.
GUS: How's he doing? Good, good.
KIRRA: He's all right.
[PHONE RINGS]
Just go slow.
Hello, Rolf.
- Yeah.
KIRRA: All right, we're good.
I've had a change of heart.
I wanna return Willy to the sea.
Uh-huh.
I know we had an agreement,
but I didn't cash your check.
In fact,
I'm holding it right here in my hand.
Would you like to hear me rip it up?
Rolf? Rolf?
- Hey, he's coming, he's coming.
- What?
If Willy's gone
he's gonna call the police.
Come on, we gotta hurry.
Mansa, you come with me.
We'll get someone to drive the truck.
We'll see you guys at the harbor.
Okay, so Rolf is on his way.
We need to hold him off
till they get Willy loaded onto the boat.
- Okay.
- First thing he'll look for is Willy.
- But he's not gonna be in the lagoon.
- Exactly.
But another orca could be.
Maybe we could get it to spout
or something, then dive underwater?
- First the crane, and now this?
- Get ahold of yourself. Mansa.
Please, focus.
GUS [OVER RADIO]: Kirra, are you there?
KIRRA: Kirra here.
We just loaded Willy. What's happening?
You don't wanna know.
I'll call you in a bit.
Is this a really bad idea?
Or a really, really bad idea?
Oh, this is a very good idea.
- The farther away Rolf stays, the better.
- I know that, Mansa.
JAMEEL:
Boss, we got Rolf pulling up to the gate.
Let him in. Oh, Jameel,
can you take care of his tires?
JAMEEL:
You got it, boss.
We're on, son.
- But, Gus, this thing is nowhere near ready.
- Get this thing in the water, and then hide.
Now.
[WHOOPING]
Oh, Gus, I have signed papers.
Papers signed by you.
- Rolf.
- I got a trainer coming from San Diego.
You said you could get orcas
from other sellers.
I don't want other orcas.
- I want Willy, because I bought Willy.
- I can see you're upset.
- Damn right.
- Wait, wait, wait.
Let's go to the snack bar.
- I'll get a beer.
- I'm not thirsty.
- We'll talk.
- Talk?
With you? Ha, ha. No, no, no.
You tell me just one thing.
Is Willy here,
or am I gonna call the police?
Of course he's here.
- Willy's here?
- Yes. Right this way, my friend.
- Why is he not moving?
GUS: Nap time.
Tomorrow would be a better day.
He's under the weather.
- Under the weather? He looks dead.
- Yeah.
ROLF:
Doesn't look right.
He's up. He's awake.
See, he's moving.
The young males do that.
Impresses the ladies.
ROLF:
That's not right.
Are you sure you even want Willy?
Look at him.
- Kirra's the only one he'll respond to-
- G- G- Gus.
- I'm not discussing this.
- Are you the owner?
- Yes, I am, but I'm busy.
- We got a problem.
ROLF:
I've got a problem. You don't.
I was about to break
the putt-putt course record.
I got to the 18th hole
and you know that plastic porpoise?
ROLF: Who cares?
- We had to change the course around.
Just play the 17th hole twice.
No way. The 18th hole is the good hole
in the course.
- That hole is under construction.
- Gus.
I'm gonna give you a free stuffed animal
of your choice and five free rounds if-
Isn't that him over there?
What are you talking about? That's Willy.
Willy?
GUS:
Here you go.
I'll add a little for your troubles.
I don't want the money, I want Willy.
Kirra to Grandpa. Over.
Yeah. Go for Grandpa.
We're at the harbor, waiting.
Where are you?
You either tell her to stay put...
...or I'm gonna sue you
for everything you're worth.
I'll see you in court.
Gus, I know you did this.
What a shame. How unfortunate.
We have to hurry. He's drying up.
Let's get going.
GUS: Mansa, hurry up with that thing.
MANSA: Almost got it.
Are you sure
this is where you saw the pod?
We checked the GPS.
These are the coordinates.
Sifiso, please let that down
very carefully.
Okay.

It's working. Okay, okay, it's working.
Kirra, don't worry.
They're gonna hear Willy,
and they're gonna come to the rescue.
- Don't let that go in the water.
- Grab it. Grab it.
Grab it.
Cut the engine.
Mansa, the tape played
for a little bit, right?
- A few seconds.
GUS: Maybe that's all they need to hear him.
We'll sit tight.
What if they gave up looking?
- Kirra.
KIRRA: And just left?
You're looking at the biggest cynic...
...but if I believe they're gonna come,
they're gonna come.
But just in case.
Show me what you got, girl.
[HORN BLOWING]
GUS: You see anything?
SIFISO: No, not yet.
MANSA:
Okay, put it on him.
SIFISO: You need help?
- Sure.
I'll go keep looking.
Could you check his blowhole?
[WILLY WHEEZING]
It doesn't sound good.
[CRYING]
Grandpa.
- Maybe this was a bad idea.
- We're doing the right thing, Kirra.
What do we do?
Hope.
And I'm sorry.
I tried my best.
MANSA: Should we just put him in the water?
GUS: Not yet.
Let's not give up.
Keep that water coming.
We're gonna find his family.
Wahoo!
Look at that.
- Woo-hoo-hoo!
MANSA: We found them.
- Willy.
GUS: You see?
They're all over the place.
Oh, yeah.
Over there. Let's go.
SIFISO:
Willy, your pod's here.
[LAUGHING]
MANSA:
Look at how many there are.
And I told you they'd come.
MANSA: Now to get him in the waters.
SIFISO: I told you they were coming.
Aha. They're here, Willy.
Easy, big fella.
SIFISO: Mansa, did you see that one?
- Yeah.
- Brought the entire family.
- Whoo! Goodbye, Willy.
SIFISO: Goodbye, Willy.
GUS: Go ahead, Mansa.
MANSA:
There. Got it, got it.
- There.
GUS: Let it down.
Keep coming.
You're almost there.
Good job, Mansa. Good job.
- What do you think you're doing?
- I didn't get to say goodbye.
I'm not gonna let you jump
into a sea of wild orcas.
Look at the size of those things.
They don't eat people, though.
Oh, heh. Right.
If your dad knew
what I was about to let you do.
Go.
Hi.
I told you I'd get you back to your pod.
I'm gonna miss you so, so much.
[KIRRA CRYING]
I've gotta go.
Don't forget me.
Love you.
KIRRA: Okay, come on.
You gotta do it in slow motion.
- I can't get it when you're going so fast.
SIFISO: You have to get it before you leave.
Better move. Your dad's gonna kill me
if you miss your plane again.
- You try it.
- Oh, no, no, no.
You do not wanna see me dance.
Trust me.
[SPEAKING IN XHOSA]
And that means?
I'm thinking of the day you return
and I'm saying hello.
Hey, where's Engelbert?
He's so happy he has his lagoon back,
we haven't been able to get him out.
Bye, Engelbert.
Gotta go, gotta go. We're gonna be late.
Come on.
Let's go.
MANSA: Travel safely.
- Thanks.
- See you, sheila.
KIRRA: See you, bloke.
Guys, get the porpoise back
on the 18th hole.
- We got customers coming.
MANSA: Yes, Gus.
SIFISO:
In a while, crocodile.
See you later, alligator.
Cool by the pool.
Make like a banana and split.
- Bye.
SIFISO: Bye.
KIRRA:
See you.
Bye.
Bye.
Go.
Show him your stuff.
I told you I'm not much of a hugger.
Well, I'm not just
gonna shake your hand.
You're not getting
all sappy on me, are you?
You kind of choked me on the hug there.
Right.
You're a heck of a kid.
And you're a real piece of work.
You're right.
- Well, see you next summer?
- Count on it.
Good stuff.
- Safe travels.
- Thank you.
Bye.
Bye, Grandpa.
