[laughter]

Okay, that's better.All right, one more try.

St--hey.

Is that Gush?

Wha--hey, Gush.

- Nice try, but you moved again.

- No, no, really, really.Look, it's Gush.

Maybe he's here to play with us.

- Wow!That's good camouflage.

- You know...he'd be greatat "Surprise Fish."

- Come on, let's go see.- Yeah.

- All right.- Yeah!

- Okay.[laughs]

Boo!We knew it was you,

even with your camouflage.[laughter]

- Oh, hi.

- Oh, uh, you don't soundlike yourself today.

- I don't?Well, what do you mean?

- Well, your voicesounds different.

- Yeah, do you have a<span> frog in your throat or something?

[laughs]

Because you're a frogfish!

[laughing]Oh, yeah!

[laughter]- That's really funny,

because I am a frogfish.

- Of course you are, Gush.

- Oh, I'm a frogfish,but I'm not Gush.

both: What?both: Huh?

- I'm Wart.

I was born here in Reeftowna long time ago.

Now I'm back for a visit.

- Wow!

You're so much like Gush!

- Yeah!You should really meet him.

- Oh, that's exactly whyI came here--to meet Gush.

He's my dad.

all: What?

- Wait.You're Gush's son?

- Right.- I never knew Gush had a son.

- Yeah! Where have you beenall this time?

We've never seen you before.

- I haven't been backto Reeftown since I was little.

I grew up on my own.- Aww.

Well, who took care of you?- Yeah.

- Well, frogfishare very independent.

We take care of ourselves.

- Let's go find Gush.

He'll be so surprised!- Yeah!

- Can't wait!He's gonna be so surprised!

- Come on!- Come on, Wart!

- Okay.- Come on, Wart!

- Gush?Are you busy?

Are you here?- I'm right here.

- Where?- Back here.

Can't you see me?I'm waving at you.

- What?Wait, oh.

Oh!- Oh, there you are!

- Oh![laughter]

- Oh, boy.You're so good at camouflage.

We couldn't tell if it was youor the coral we were staring at.

- We have somethingvery important to tell you.

- Oh.- And show you.

- Huh?- Okay!

Come on out!

- Oh, another handsome frogfish.

Uh, wait.

Wart?Wart, is that you?

- Hiya, Pop.- Wart! [laughs]

I haven't seen you since youwere just a little larva.

You have really grownsince then.

- [laughs]He's the same size as you.

[laughter]

- Well, you're stillmy Pop though.

- Aww.[chuckles]

So what brings you here, son?

You need some help camouflaging?

Or, uh, you want to knowthe best places to catch lunch?

- Oh, I just wanted to visitfor a day.

I'm so glad you're stillliving here in the same place.

You look happy.- Well, even happier

now that you've come backto see me.

- Aww, thanks, Pop.

- All right, so sinceyou're back for a visit,

how about I teach you how to do

all the things frogfish doin Reeftown?

- Uh, sure, but I've alreadybeen on my own for a while, so--

- Still, I am your Pop, right?

I've got a lot to show you.

- Sounds great.Where do we start?

- Okay, kids, gather round.You're gonna love this.

- This is gonna be good.- Yeah! Okay.

- Now, catching foodis all about blending in

so that the fooddoesn't see you first.

It's called "camouflage."

And what you do is, you getin front of a background--

- Oh, uh...like this?

- Uh...[others gasp]

Well, yeah, sort of.[groans]

Yeah, actually,exactly like that.

- [chuckles]- [gasps]

It's amazing!

I can't tell you guys apart!

- Well, uh, that's pretty goodfor a first try.

[chuckles]But it takes a lot of practice.

- Can you teach me howto do that?

Sometimes I wishI could just blend in.

- Oh, Dunk, you have somethingelse you can do very well.

You can puff up.

- [inhales sharply]

Really? You think thisis as good as camouflage?

- It's really special.

And you know what else, Dunk?

It's something specialabout you.

That's something to celebrate.

- I am pretty special,aren't I?

Thanks, Gush.

- That was nice of you, Pop.

You really made Dunk feel good.

- Yeah! That's why we always goto Gush for advice.

- Oh, well,it's no big deal.

Okay, Wart,you ready for the next lesson?

- Sure thing, Pop.What is it?

- Lesson two--stillness--

the most important partof being a frogfish.

- That's true.

You have to be very still

to sit and wait for foodto come along.

- Right.- Uh, speaking of that, um,

do you think you could teach mehow to hold real still

so I can win a gameof "Surprise Fish"?

I always move.

- Oh, we'll show you together.How about that?

- Okay.- Now, you have to pretend

you're not a fish.

You're part of the rocksor the sand.

- Oh, like this?Ah!

[grunting softly]

- Well, I'll tell you what,Splash.

You are the most stillyellowback fusilier

I've ever seen, honestly!

- Yay! Woo-hoo! Yeah!

Gush, you're sucha great teacher.

- Oh! [chuckles]Okay, come on now.

Back to the stillness lesson.Ready?

- Sure thing, Pop.What do we do?

- You, uh, sit here and, uh,just wait...

For food.- I can wait.

- I should mention,the thing with catching food is,

you really need to wait...- Oh, excuse me.

- For just the right...time.

- Ah, got it.- Ooh.

- Wow! You're really goodat this, Wart!

- Thanks, but, uh,Pop here is the master.

- Yeah, he's the best.

He helps me with being patient

with my brothersall the time,

and they're never still.[laughter]

- Well, thanks, Ripple.I'm--I'm glad to help.

Okay, you readyfor lesson three, son?

- Sure.What's lesson three?

- Ooh, actually, I mightonly have two lessons after all.

[chuckles and groans]

- Well, what aboutthe obstacle course?

- What's the obstacle course?- Wait!

You don't know about"Golden Legs" Gush?

- "Golden Legs"?[excited cheering]

- Whoo!- Amazing!

- Go, Gush, go!

- Yeah, Gush!- So incredible!

- He's still going!That's so insane!

- Yeah!- Yeah!

- All right, Gush!- Oh, I love this part!

This is my favorite part!- You know what, Wart?

He can b*at all of us in a racethrough the obstacle course.

- Wow. I never knew my Popwas so graceful.

- Hmm.- Or so fast.

- Oh, he loves a challenge!

And I love that about him.

- We all do.He's amazing!

Ha! Come on, Wart.Let's go.

- Yeah.- Okay.

- That was amazing!- Tada!

- Yeah!- You were really moving, Pop!

- That was amazing!- Golden Legs!

- All right, go ahead, son.Give it a try.

- Yeah.- Okay.

Uh, wish me luck.

- Good luck.- Good luck, Wart.

- You can do it, Wart.- Woo-hoo!

- Go like your Pop!

[laughter]

- Yeah!- Wow!

- That's so cool!- Yeah!

- Woo-hoo!- Woo!

- What's wrong, Gush?

- I'm so happyto have my son here,

but, uh...I have nothing to teach him.

[somber music]

- What do you mean, Pop?

Well, you're a great teacher.

- Well, how can yousay that, Wart?

I couldn't teach you anything.

You're already goodat camouflage,

and you're good on stillness,

and you're a great food catcher.

- Yeah, but what aboutall the things

you taught these guys?

- What?What do you mean?

- Just today,you taught me that I'm special

because I can puff up.- Yeah.

And you've taught me to bepatient with all my brothers.

- And you showed me that youcan get through any obstacle

if you never give up.- And you taught me

how to be perfectly still.

[chuckles]Ha!

Ah...[groans]

I'm still working on that one.[laughter]

- And Dad,you've taught me something too.

Even though I can doso many things for myself,

I still love having a dad.

- Aw, thanks, son.

- And I sure am gladwe have you here to teach us.

I learned so many amazing thingsabout frogfish today.

- Yeah! It's incredible.

There's so muchwe never knew about you.

- Papa, do you want to comeand swim with me for a second?

It's so peaceful herein the morning.

- Oh, I wish I could,but I have to get ready

for the morning feeding.

After all,I've got mouths to feed.

- Don't you mean ?

- Uh, what do you mean?

- Well, you have to eat too,right?

- [laughs] Thank you so muchfor thinking about me, sweetie.

But I'm usually so busy feedingyour brothers and cleaning up

that I barely have timeto eat in the morning.

- You skip breakfast?Yeesh!

I can barely go a few minuteswithout eating.

How do you do it?

- Believe me,it's part of being a dad.

But it's all worth it though.

- Really?- Ai, si.

On the day you were all born,my whole life changed.

The first thing I thought of washow much I loved

every one of my babies.

- Aw, thank you, Papa.

So, uh, we're all cleaned up.

What's for breakfast?

- We're having my favoritethis morning.

Mysid shrimp.

- Ooh! Yum!

Well, you may not eatvery often,

but at least you eatthe good stuff when you do.

- [laughs]The only problem is,

mysid shrimp are alsothe boys' favorite,

so there probably won't beany left, but don't worry.

I'll grab a bit here and therewhen I can.

- Ahh.

My brothers and I are so lucky

to have such a good Papa.

I hope they know thatas much as I do.

Hmm.- Okay, boys.

Time to eat!

[overlapping chatter]- Time to eat! Let's go!

Come on, , this way!- Oh, watch out!

[overlapping chatter]- [sighs]

I had no idea he works so hardto give me and my brothers

everything we need,and he never asks

for anything in return.[sighs]

Well, the least I can dois show him

how much I loveand appreciate him.

It may not be much,but even a little gesture

can make a big difference.[chuckles]

Everything's fine.

I've just noticedthat my Papa

does so much for meand my brothers

and doesn't really get anythingin return.

So, today, I want to dosomething special for my Papa.

- Oh, good!

So what are you gonna dofor him?

- Yeah.- I don't know.

My Papa never actually doesanything for himself,

so I don't know what he likes.

- Well, uh, maybe we canwatch your dad for the day

and see if we can find outwhat he likes.

- [gasps]- Yeah.

- Great idea, guys!

Operation Happy Papabegins now!

- Yeah!- Yeah! Let's do it!

- All right, let's go this way!

[laughter]

- Yeah!

- Okay, boys!Time to play!

- Oh, yeah!- Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!

You guys don't wanna do that.

Just, uh, give it a second.- Huh?

[overlapping shouting]

all: Whoa!

- Boys, you're gonna haveto share your shell!

Like--okay, good.- All right.

Well, we can go now.[chuckles]

- Uh, Ripple,your brothers are, uh...

[overlapping chatter]

[chuckles]Energetic.

- [grunts]What?

- Yeah, well, when you geta few boys together,

they play a lot.

When you get ten boys together,

they get a little wild.

You get boys together,

you get this.

- Hold on! Hold on!I'll get you another one--

- You know what, guys?

We don't need to watch my Papaat all!

I know exactly what he needs!- What?

- Well, he's so busy taking careof all of his little seahorses

that he never has a momentfor himself.

- Guys, please![stammers]

- So, I'm gonna make today

all about making my Papa happy!

- Ripple, that's a great idea!

I think a little restand relaxation

would be perfect for your dad.

- If there's anythingwe can do to help,

we're here for you.- Great!

I need you to staywith my brothers

and make sure they're fedwhile I take my Papa out.

- Uh...- Uh, your--your--your brothers?

Like, uh,<span> those brothers?

- Uh, did I say "anything"?

What I meant was--- We'd love to.

- [laughing excitedly]

- Uh...we'll be fine.

You go have a good time.

- Thank you!Buh-bye!

- Bye!

both: Uh...

- Hey there, Mr. Charlie--I mean, uh, Mr. Ripple--

I mean, uh, Mr. Ripple's dad.[chuckles]

- Hey, kids.What can I do for you?

- No, the real question is,

what can we do for you?

- That's right!

We're here to watch the boysfor you.

- Ripple has a special dayplanned just for you.

- A day...for me?- That's right!

You work so hardfor me and the boys.

It's about time you had a dayjust for you.

- Well, thanks, kids.

I don't know what to say,or what to do, for that matter.

It's been so long since I've hada day to do what I want to do

that I don't even rememberwhat I like to do.

- Leave that to me.[both laugh]

Come on!- Okay, mija.

Thanks again, guys!

all: Bye!- Have a good time!

- Have fun!- Yeah, have fun!

[laughter]

- And--and what is thisI'm doing now?

- Ooh!You're getting a mud bath

with a starfish wrap.

- Oh, and--and it does whatagain, mija?

- Oh, it's the latest thing!

Bubbles told meit's very relaxing,

so I thought it was a great wayto start your day.

Do you feel more relaxed?

- Y-you know, I-I think I do.

Yes, I am relaxed now.[chuckles]

What--what's next?- Well, are you sure?

We have all day if you wantto relax some more.

- No, no. You--you know,I think I'm good on relaxation.

I-I think maybe it's timefor some father-daughter fun!

Huh?What do you say?

- I say, let's do it!

- Yeah![both laugh]

Now, how do I get outof this stuff?

- Oh, I honestly don't know.[giggles]

- Oh...[chuckles]

Uh, this could take a while.

- [chuckles]- [grunting]

Ready or not, here I come!

Whoa!I'll find you!

- No, you won't.[giggles]

- I heard that.Now, where did you go?

Are you here?No.

- Oh, he'll never find me.

I have such a good hiding spot.

[giggles]- [sighs] All right.

Now, where did she go?- [giggles]

- I think maybe she's justtoo good a hider for me.

Maybe--maybe I'll go over bythese mushroom corals and--

- Ha ha!I'm over here!

I got you, Papa!- [laughs]

You sure did, mija!

You surprised me.

- Well, if you thinkthat was a surprise,

wait until you see what's next.

- [laughs]

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Oh![laughs]

[stammering]Mija, here comes another one!

[stammering]Ohh!

[laughing]

Whoa-ho!

[thuds][grunts]

[chuckles and groans]

- Oh, no, Papa!Are you okay?

- Are you kidding?[grunts]

Never better![laughs]

We should probably beheading back.

Your brothers needto eat dinner.

- Oh, actually,your day isn't over just yet.

I still have a special dinnerplanned just for you.

- Just for me?- Oh, besides,

I'm sure my friendshave the boys' dinner

all taken care of.

- I'm sure you're right.

- Ha ha!- What could go wrong?

- Nothing.

[overlapping shouting]

- Wa-ha!

- Whoa!- Whoa!

- Uh, how many do westill have left to feed?

- I have no idea!

Just keep feeding themtill they stop asking for food!

- Ah, okay.- Aah!

- Uh, uh, uh...

Oh, boy.Little help!

- Oh, mija, that was some

of the most deliciousmysid shrimp I've ever had.

And I can't rememberthe last time

I could actually relaxand enjoy my food!

Gracias! - Oh, well, that's what today

is all about.

it's my way of thanking you

for giving up so muchfor me and the boys.

- For--what do you mean?

- Well, I just wantedto give you a day

where you could get awayfrom having to do everything

for us kids and just relaxand enjoy yourself.

- Oh, mija, is--is that what you think?

That I don't enjoy myselfbeing a father?

Since I first carried youand your brothers

in my brooding pouch,

every day has been betterthan the last.

- I know,but we keep you so busy.

- Ripple, I didn't gowith you today

to get away from my chores,I went so that I could

spend the day alonewith my favorite girl.

- Aww.- So, thank you, again,

for this wonderful gift.

- Papa?- Yes, mija?

- You know I'm your<span> only girl, right?

- [laughs]

Still my favorite.

- Aww![giggles]

Mmm!

- Hey there. It's your old pal Gush,

and I got a question for you.

What's your favorite color?

Chances are that a painters frogfish

like myself can be that color.

We can come in a variety of colors,

just like the paint used by painters.

[chuckles] We frogfish may seem slow,

but we can be pretty fast when we want to be.

We have an amazing ability to push water out of our gills,

which makes us move very quickly through the water.

It's like our own personal turbo boost!

- Hey! It's me, Ripple. How would you like

to eat as much as you wanted?

Well, that would hurt your stomachs,

but Barbour's seahorses like me don't have stomachs,

which means that we're always a little hungry

and have to keep eating lots of yummy food all the time.

Seahorses have a very strong grip.

We can grab onto things with our tails

just like you do with your hands.

So, if a strong tide comes in,

we just grab onto something so we won't float away.

See? Woo-hoo!

[laughs]

- Hi there! We want to talk to you

about something very important to us.

A lot of you have pets at home, and that's great!

Some of you may even have fish as a pet,

which is also really great.

- But if you do,

make sure your species of fish

is okay living in a fish t*nk.

While it's fine for some fish to live in fish tanks,

many others like us aren't meant to.

- Our species were meant to live

in their natural habitat: the ocean!

And that way, you can always find us,

right here in Reeftown!
