- [chuckles]Oh, hey, Bubbles.
It's a new dayin the beautiful ocean,
and I'm ready to play!
- Me too!What should we play?
- Uh, well...
actually I was hopingthat maybe you had some ideas.
- Um...[gasps]
here's my idea!- Yeah?
- Let's ask Dunkif he has any ideas.
- [gasps]Great idea, Bubbles!
That's why we call you'the idea girl.'
- You do?- Well, we do now. [chuckles]
Hey Dunk, Dunk! What do you wantto play today, buddy?
Hide and seek?- Finball?
- Super-slide?
- Hey, so you ready to play?- Yeah.
- [muffled]
- Oh, you don't want to play?
Wh--are you notfeeling okay?
- [muffled]
- Okay, so you do want to play.- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, I'm just come right outand say it and ask:
why are you not talking?
- [muffled] What? What are youtalking about? I'm fine.
- Huh? You're "foon"?What's "foon"?
- [muffled]I said everything is fine.
- Yeah, I still don't knowwhat a foon is.
- Yeah, and why is your voicedifferent today?
- [muffled]This is just the way I talk.
- Did you say you want to payfor a walk?
Wha--what doesthat even mean?
- [muffled]This is the way I always talk.
- Your bay is full of sharks?Whoa.
Well, I could seewhere that would be a worry.
- Yeah. I mean, we can't justhave sharks blocking up the bay
willy-nilly--I mean...- Agreed. I mean, sharks--
I mean, we're practically--- What are we gonna do about it?
Well, I'm glad you alerted--- [muffled] Hey! Hey!
Finball. Finball!- What? Huh?
both: Oh! Finball!
- Okay, now that I understand.[chuckles]
Let's go!- Yeah.
- Why didn't you just say so?- [groans]
- Okay, coming at you, Bubbles!- Oh, yeah?
Watch this! Wapoo!- Okay.
- Oh, nice. This one, Dunk!Whoo.
- Ow!Timeout!
- Huh, wait,what did he say?
- I think he said,'I'm out.'
Yes, you are, buddy.Out in the big blue ocean.
Okay, coming at you,here it comes!
Whoo! Heads up!- No, really, timeout.
- Oh! Oh no, Dunk!Oh! Oh, Dunk! Dunk!
Are you okay, buddy?- It's okay.
It's not too bad.- Wait, what did he say?
- Oh, I think he said,"No way. It's just too sad."
Oh, this is all my fault.- [growling]
- Wait, are you growling at me?- Oh, he's mad. I knew it.
- Oh, Wait a second.- Oh, brother.
- I don't thinkthat's coming from Dunk.
It sounds like...
- [chittering]- Ahh!
- Huh? Is something wrong?
- I think you should lookin Dunk's mouth,
which is totally normal.[chuckles]
- Okay.- Go look in his mouth.
- Yeah, got it.Okay. Ahem.
Uh, hey buddy.
- [chittering]- Whoa!
Sweet suffering starfish,what is that?
What is happeningin Dunk's mouth right now?
- Huh?What happened?
- What happened? A monsterin your mouth is what happened.
- Oh, that's my little friend.You know, Chewy.
both: Chewy?
- Wait, I did not hearthat right.
Did you say friend?- Uh-huh.
- Uh, Dunk, if he's your friend,then why is he in your mouth?
- Chewy's a little shy.
He likes to hang outin my mouth.
- Yeah. That's kind of grosseven for me, and, uh, yeah.
- Yeah, uh, Dunk,if he's growling
that probably meanshe's not very friendly.
- Oh, well,he's just a little grumpy.
He hasn't hadhis breakfast yet.
- Dunk, I thinkyou are his breakfast.
- Yeah, it's like Chewy'schewing on you.
- On me? No.We're having fun.
[groans]Yay!
- Mm, I've never seen a fishlike Chewy before.
What kind of fish is he?- Uh, he's a mouth fish.
- Uh, mouth fish?Splash?
- Got it.- Yeah.
Uh, that's not a real fish, andthere's something wrong here.
I mean, whatever it is,it shouldn't be in Dunk's mouth.
- [growling]- Be right with you. Ha-ha.
- Yeah, hmm.
- Uh, I think we should get himto show it to Gush.
He'll know what to do.- What?
Yeah, but he didn't even wantto show it to us.
Why would he show it to Gush?- Well, follow my lead.
Ahem. Boy, oh, boy,do I love mouth fish.
- Uh, you do?- Oh, yes.
And you know who else lovesmouth fish, Gush!
Huge mouth fish fan!- He does?
- Bubbles?- He does!
- [laughing]- Oh, yeah.
That's right, we shouldgo see Gush right now.
And show him your mouth fish.- Yes. Yes, we should.
Because, you know, it's notoften you meet a mouth fish
as nice as Chewy.Oh, Gush is gonna love this.
- Yeah.- Okay.
- Let's take a look.- [growling]
- Oh, very interesting.- Interesting?
- Well, I'm afraid that's nomouth fish, Dunk,
and by the way,that's not a real thing.
- What is it, Gush?
- Well, kids, what Dunk hasis called a parasite.
[both screaming]
- I've heard of those.
Those are creatures who liveoff of other fish.
- That's right, Splash.
Parasites are a typeof symbiotic relationship.
- Uh, symbiotic?What does that mean?
- Well, many symbioticrelationships
involve two creatures livingtogether to help each other.
One might provide the food,
and the othermight provide protection
or a place to live.
- That's a good thing.- A wood ring?
There's a wood ringin your mouth too?
Oh boy, it's just a messin there today.
- Uh, Gush, I think Dunk istrying to say
that symbiotic relationshipsare a good thing.
- Oh, right. Yes, well,some of them are, Dunk,
but many other symbioticrelationships,
like parasites,aren't good for both parties.
- Oh, that meansChewy isn't living with you,
he's living off of you.[both groan]
- Splash is right, Dunk.And unless we take him out,
Chewy could beginto really hurt you.
- I think he alreadyis hurting Dunk.
- No, no! It's, ow! It's okay.- Oh, don't worry, Dunk.
I know someoneright here on the reef
that can help you outin a jiffy.
- Really? Who?- The cleaner shrimp.
- No, Dunk, the cleaner shrimp!Oh, wait, that's what he said.
- Dunk, if you knew about thecleaner shrimp all this time,
why didn't you go before?- Uh...
- Well, because, uh, just likeme and many other fish,
Dunk's not too eagerto go see the cleaner shrimp.
- But the cleaner shrimpis great.
Denny cleans your teethand your mouth
and you feel good as new.- Yeah.
Now that isa great symbiotic relationship.
Why would you be afraid of that?- Why would I be afraid?
Uh, do you want somelittle creature crawling around
inside of your mouth?I don't.
- But Dunk, you already havea little creature crawling
around inside your mouth.
- Oh, I can see your point.- [laughing]
- So, how is your mother doing?
Everything going wellin the cave?
- [mumbling]
- Really?That's fantastic! Tell me more.
- Pardon me.Denny, I'm sorry to interrupt,
but I have a young fish herewith a, uh, parasite problem.
It would be greatif you could take a looksie.
- A parasite?Well, your timing is great.
I just finished upwith Maury's cleaning.
All right, Maury,I'll see you next week.
- Ah. Thank you.Fresh and clean. Bye.
- Now, bring Dunk on in here.
- Dunk, buddy,it's gonna be okay.
You have nothingto worry about.
We'll be here for youthe whole time.
- Oh, thanks, Splash.
That means a lot to me.- Aww.
- Aww, Splash.
That was a really nice thingto say.
What did Dunk say to you?- I honestly have no idea.
- Hmm.- [growling]
- Hmm, you're right, Gush.That's definitely a parasite.
[muttering]- You can say that again, Dunk.
And believe me, I lovea good symbiotic relationship
as much as the next shrimp,
but when you're dealingwith a parasite,
I like to saythat's not so much symbiosis
as it is symbi-NO-sis.As in no good.
- Um, is Dunk gonna be okay?- Not to worry, kids.
I'm gonna get that parasiteout of your friend in a jiffy.
Time to get to work.
- [muttering]
- Boy, this little guyis really in there.
- Ah, this is so cool.[chuckles]
- [muttering]- Uh...[chuckles]
I mean, uh, this is soprofessional and looks normal.
Everything's fine.
- [growling]- Here we go!
Come on.Almost got it.
[wrenching sounds][grunting]
- Hey!- Ah.
- Well, Dunk,I am happy to report
that you arenow parasite free.
- Way to go, buddy!- [chuckles]
We're so proud of you.- Yeah.
- You did great, Dunk.
And all of my well-behavedpatients get a special gift.
A shiny new shell!- [gasps]
Really?Thanks so much, Denny.
I can't believe I waited so longto see you.
All this time I was nervous,but it was fine.
- See, I told you, Dunk.
- Actually,it's better than fine
because before my mouth hurt,and now I feel great.
- Your mouth hurt?I thought Chewy was your friend?
- Yeah, I kind of saidthat Chewy was my friend
just to keep from seeingthe cleaner shrimp.
- Uh-huh. And I hopethat won't happen again.
- No way.I'll come back anytime.
If I'm good,do I get more shells?
- Sure!
- Splash, you should getyour teeth cleaned too.
All you got to do is sit thereand they give you shells!
- Dunk is right, Splash.
How long has it beensince your last cleaning?
- Oh, uh, well yeah, but I havethis thing, you see,
and so I have to goto it right now.
- Well, I'll make sureto go really fast
so you don't miss your thing.
- Oh, okay.- [laughing]
- You're next, Bubbles.- [gasps]
- Ha-ha.- Come on, Splash.
Oh, these are very nice teeth.
Do you eat a lot of zooplankton?- [muttering]
- You know, that's exactlywhat I tell my patients.
Splash, you are wisebeyond your years.
- [muttering]- [chuckles]
You are on a roll today.
Where do you come upwith this stuff?
- [muttering]- [chuckles] You don't say.
- I do.
- And now it's time to...
- What livesin the deep ocean?
male announcer: [spookily] What is this strange creature?
[spooky organ music]
Is it an alien from outer space?
♪ ♪
[normal voice] No, this animal lives in the deep ocean,
right here on planet earth.
It's a giant isopod.
Giant isopods are crustaceans,
related to the crabs and shrimp.
And they're huge because animals in the deep sea
tend to grow bigger than their shallow water relatives.
I mean, are you kidding me?
Look at that thing.
It's as big as that kid's face
Look at these giant spider crabs.
These are the biggest crabs on earth!
With legs that can grow to be feet across!
Giant spider crabs and giant isopods live in the deep ocean.
But the deep ocean is mostly unexplored.
Imagine what other wonderful and surprising creatures
could be living down there.

Okay, ready or not,here I come!

- Heh, "Splash will neverfind me here.
This is a perfect hiding spot.It's a--"
- Hi, Dunk!- Oh, hi, Splash! Whoa!
Wha--how'd you find me?
I was pretendingto be a rock.
- We're floatingin a kelp forest, Dunk.
- Oh, I see your point.- Mm-hmm.
Now, if I were a seahorse,where would I be?
Where could that Ripple be?[whooshing]
- Whoa.
Hello?
- Well, hello there.
- Oh, Tidy!Did you make that loud noise?

I just came out hereto check out the algae.
Oh, this won't do at all.- [panting]
I found you!I found you!
After all this time,I finally found you!
- Huh?Oh, yeah, you win.
Did you hear that noiseand feel all that shaking?
- Uh, no.- You didn't hear it either?
Oh, it was so loud.It was like whoosh!
Something fishy is going onaround here.
- [grumbles]It's not me.
- Nope, you're fresh.- Wait a second?

- This one actually came fromthe south and went north.
- Well, have we been heading thewrong direction all this time?
- [gasps] I know!both: What?

- Dunk, which way did you saythat message was headed?
- This way. Let's go!both: Okay!

they must be really importantto have traveled all this way.
So let's make sure that we--- Hold on. I hear something.
- [distantly] Yes, you are.- This way.
- Oh, okay!
- Okay, well, you're closerthan you think, honey.
A lot closer.- Hey, Flo!
- Huh?Oh, oh, oh, hi kids.
Oh, sorry, Jerry,I'll be right back.
Oh, my, I was so busy trying tosave this little lost urchin
that I didn't hear you.
- Oh, sorry, Flo.We just wanted to see
if you heard any big noisescoming through here.
We've been tracking them goingback and forth in the ocean.
- Yeah, it was kind ofa boop noise.
- Uh, back and forth?Well, tell me,
were you down deep in the waterwhen you heard that sound?
- Yeah, I was hiding belowthe kelp forest.
That's pretty deep.
- And I was deepwhen I heard it, too.
- Well, I can only think of onething that sounds like that,
and since sound waves backand forth in the entire ocean.
- An anemone ridingon a conch shell?
- A sea sponge marching band?
- Uh, no.The sounds you're describing
sounds like the callof the majestic whale.
- Whales?- Whales?
- Whales can communicate overlong distances
by diving deepinto the water
and sending messages where soundtravels the best.
You probably heard whaleshaving a conversation.
- I've heardwhale calls before,
and they sound more like, uh,[imitates whale]
- No, no, no, no, no.It's more like whoosh.
- No, it's a boop.
- Those all soundlike whale calls to me.
But don't take my wordfor it.
There is a fin whalethat lives around here.
- [gasps]Really? Where?
- Just swim straight ahead untilyou hit a wall of cold water,
and then, swim down.You can't miss it.
- How will we knowwhen we find the fin whale?
- Oh, you'll know.It's one of the biggest
and most majestic creaturesin the entire ocean.
all: Wow!- Okay, now listen, kids,
I got to get backto my little urchin.
all: Bye Flo!- Bye!
- Let's find that whale!- Okay!
- All right!
- Whale?- Yoo-hoo?
- Whoa![all gasping]
Wow, well, Flo was right.Oh.
The water is getting cold.Ooh!
Come on you guys,
I bet the fin whaleis down there somewhere.
- Come on.
- Hello? Is anyone here?
- [groans]I don't understand.
This is exactly where Flo saidthe whale would be.
- Oh.There's something.
- Ugh, that's way too smallto be a whale.
We're looking for something big,you know, like huge.
- You mean, like that?
[majestic music]
- Yeah.That'll do.
- Well, hello, sir.We were wondering--
- Sir? [chuckles]I beg your pardon?
- Uh, miss, miss,I meant miss, obviously.
Yes, of course.[chuckles]
You see, Ripple wantsto ask you something.
- Oh, hello miss...
- Melody.- Melody.
We were wondering if you heardor sent any messages recently.
- Yeah,we've been tracking whale calls
all through the ocean,
but we didn't knowwhat they said.
- Oh, I see.
Well, you've cometo the right place.
I've been getting messagesall day.
all: Whoa![whooshing]
- It's another one!
Oh, Melody, who are thesemessages coming from?
- I've been talkingwith my brother
all the way in the SouthernOcean outside Antarctica.
- Wow, that is a long way.
Must have been pretty important,right?
- They may be the most importantmessages I've ever received.
- Really?Why?
- I haven't heardfrom my brother in many years,
so it was wonderful to hear fromhim
and know thathe is safe and sound.
- Yeah, and even though itwasn't a secret code
to save the worldor anything like that,
it meant the worldto Melody and her brother.
- Hey Melody, can you send himanother message from us?
- Of course.
- Tell him Ripple, Splash, andDunk all say hi,
and we came all the way here
to make sure his messagewas delivered safely.
- [whooshing]all: [gasping]
- That's it?
- The message is on its wayto my brother's home.
