[Barking]
Adult toni: rockport, maine, is
The only home I've ever known.
I'll never forget
That spring in 1962.
My family's big adventure
Was about to begin.
Do you, miss cluck cluck,
Take walter pigeon
To love, honor, and obey
As long as
Forever and ever♪
[Coos]
Come on.
[Coos]
Well, do you♪
Miss cluck cluck,
Wake up.
Come on,
It's your wedding.
Well,
I pronounce you
Man and wife.
Adult toni: any animal
That had lost its way
Or just needed a friend
Was always
Welcomed at our house.
But the animals were tame
Compared to my brother
Steve
And my sister paula.
I cannot believe
You would eat those
Things, period,
Never mind
For breakfast.
See, that shows
How much you know.
Recent studies
Have shown that twinkies
Have a shelf life
Of over 27 years.
Therefore, if I continue
To eat a daily ration
Of these golden,
Cream-filled delights,
I could live
Indefinitely, you know.
Mmm...
Ha ha!
Mom, where's dad♪
I need hot-lunch money.
There are lunches
All made up
In the fridge,
Paula.
Steve, have you
Seen your father♪
Adult toni: dad said mom
Had the patience of job.
She was wife, lawmaker,
Zookeeper, and mother,
And she was also the only
Real grown-up in the house.
Just a second.
Ohh! Hello♪
Mrs. Mccann, how are--
I saw them cutting
Through my backyard again,
[Growling]
Which is trespassing.
I'm very sorry--
You people
Are a menace.
This is toni's
Report card,
Which she conveniently
Left at school.
And I do need
To remind you
That toni still does
Not participate in class
And she
Does not join in
With the other
Children at recess.
[Ruff ruff]
[Grrr]
Adult toni:
And then there was dad.
Do you see 'em♪
Dad: yeah.
Adult toni:
He was my hero.
He had a special way
With animals.
I thought it was magic,
And all these years later,
I'm certain of it.
You know,
You were doing
The right thing.
I mean,
It's about time
They got hitched.
The neighbors were
Starting to talk.
What do you think went
Wrong with him and her♪
Well, maybe him and her
Ain't a him and her.
You mean, I put the dress
On the wrong one♪
Well, walter would
Know more about that
Than I would.
Paula: ok, fine.
I guess you want me
To be
A social outcast
Dad, can I please have
Money for a hot lunch♪
Dad: what did
Your mom say♪
Shouldn't you
Be about halfway
To school now yourself♪
I'm not going.
I hate school.
Well, I hated school, too.
However,
I'm gonna be late,
And you're gonna be
In a world of manure
If we don't both get
Going, so off you go.
[Giggling]
Girl: isn't
It beautiful♪
Toni's
Gonna love it.
Oh, toni,
Come here.
You have
To see this.
Wow, it's beautiful!
Joey bailey
Gave it to me.
We're going steady.
Come closer
So you can get
A better look.
Ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha.
Settle down!
Chatterboxes off,
Thinking caps on.
Brenda george,
Please collect yesterday's
Spelling assignment.
And I expect to see
A great improvement
Over last week.
Remember, "i" before "e"
Except after "c,"
And sometimes "y."
[Mournful whimper]
Here.
Hey.
Hey.
Ready, huh♪
Well, oh, harry, oh,
That's a good one.
Man: you don't say♪
You don't say♪
You don't say♪
[Hangs up phone]
All right, ellwyn,
Who was it♪
He didn't say.
Did you get it♪
We get it.
We got it the first
Time you did it,
We got it the last
47 Times you did it.
It ain't funny.
You know, I laughed like hell
When I heard that joke.
Ellwyn,
It's teatime.
Coffee and
A bear claw.
Ellwyn:
Hey, betsy♪
That's my name.
Don't wear it out.
What's the difference
Between a tourist and a canoe♪
A canoe tips.
Get a new joke,
For pete's sake.
Harry,
You see this♪
It used to be
A fishing net.
A seal done it.
Ah, come on, billy,
It could have been anything.
It could have been
An outboard motor.
It could
Have been a shark.
Oh, it was a seal,
All right.
I cut it out myself.
Time was you
Could sh**t a man
For stealing
Your catch.
I got no problem
sh**ting seals.
I'm warning you,
Harry,
You're
The harbormaster,
You better
Do something.
Now, billy...
Billy, wait a second.
Listen, don't go do
Something stupid, huh♪
Look, you're wasting
Your breath, harry.
Stupid is
His middle name.
Down in
Pine harbor,
They just went down
To the haul-outs
And blew them
All away.
Well, that's just crazy
And cruel.
Look, I know you guys
Are having a bad season,
But it's got nothing
To do with seals.
Well, what is it♪
I don't know,
But I guarantee you
It ain't seals.
Toni.
I found a sick frog, dad.
Can you fix him♪
Well, I haven't had much
Luck fixing stuff today,
But let's have a look.
[Croaking]
Some kid at school
Was winging him around
By his leg,
And I think it's broken.
Well, we'll see
What we can do, huh♪
Oh, yeah, I forgot
To tell you,
Miss cluck cluck
Came home.
Oh. That should make
Walter pigeon very happy.
Not really. She's
Not speaking to him.
Oh.
[Rooster crows]
[Music plays]
Mmm!
Take it outside.
[Baaaa]
Steve, try this.
Mmm, no, that one is
Not for the book, mom.
I'll eat it,
Mrs. Whitney.
Thanks, gerald.
See, your friends
Like my cooking.
Uh-oh! Quick, somebody
Call the hair police!
I want to make
A citizen's arrest.
Mom, don't you think
I look like lesley gore♪
Ha ha! Oh, you got the
Gore part, all right.
Oh, you're so funny,
I forgot to laugh.
You'd laugh if you looked
In the mirror, you know.
Ha ha ha.
Peabrain.
Oh, I know you are,
But what am i♪
"I know you are,
But what am i♪"
Enough!
Leave me alone!
Mom!
Lesley gore.
Ok, lesley gore--
Enough!
The next person
Who makes a noise
In this kitchen
Is in the doghouse,
And I mean it.
[Dog breaks wind,
Whimpers]
Ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha.
Out!
[Clucking]
Morning, everybody.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning,
Honey.
Gerald, what a surprise to
See you here at mealtime.
[Sniff sniff] phew!
What's that smell♪
Ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha.
It sure ain't
Bacon and eggs.
Sorry I'm late
For breakfast.
Mmm, it's been such
A pleasant one so far.
Paula, what do
You got there♪
It's my science project.
I was supposed to study
The lowest form of life
I could find,
But steve wouldn't
Fit in a cage,
So I had to
Use a rat instead.
Oh, you're funny.
Ha ha.
Moron.
Oh, yeah, I know you are,
But what am i♪
I know you are,
But what am i♪
You scare me,
You loser--
Hey, dad, look.
Uh-huh.
[Frog croaks]
I'm taking prince charming
In for show and tell today.
Oh, hello, prince.
[Rrrbbtt]
Make sure he doesn't
Kiss the teacher.
She might turn
Into a toad.
Oh, it's too late.
[Rrrbbtt]
Boy: so after they told
Us uncle earl was dead,
We had to go to
The funeral parlor,
Where they had him laid out.
Uncle earl
Used to be a boxer,
But now he's a fireman.
But they buried him in
His boxing shoes anyways.
I know because
My brother danny,
He lifted up the lower
Part of the coffin
And we seen 'em.
And then aunt edna got
Real mad at danny and me,
But she didn't hit us
'Cause she was good and drunk.
Anyway,
The cops finally came
And took her away
In a straitjacket,
Right to the state
Loony bin in jackson.
That's an interesting
Story, bobby, but, um,
Why don't we give
Someone else a turn
At show and tell♪
Uh, mary, what do you
Have to share with us♪
This is a hawaiian lei
From the island of hawaii.
My cousin robert
Brought it back
From his trip
To the south pacific.
The flowers in it
Are blue and orange,
'Cause my favorite color
Is blue,
And my best friend elizabeth's
Favorite color is orange.
My mother says I'm not
To let anyone else wear it.
Toni, don't you have
Something to show us today♪
[Rrrbbtt]
I got to post these
New title charts up
At the lobster pound.
Did you get the lumber and
Tar for the dock repairs♪
Yeah, yeah, I did.
Morning.
Morning, harry.
Morning, billy.
Billy.
Nice to see you,
Too, billy.
You have a nice
Day, now, huh♪
You horse's a*s.
For crying out loud,
I'm giving up trying
To figure that guy out.
Uh, oh, well,
When the fish
Aren't biting--
Hey, I'm the harbormaster,
Not mother nature.
Ooh,
Jeez.
It's colder than a well
Digger's butt out here.
I'd say it's about time
For a coffee now.
[Seal barking]
Come on.
Come on, take it.
Wife: harry,
You in there♪
Yeah.
Have you seen
My sears catalogue♪
Uh, yeah, I think
It's in the bathroom.
Well, we've got to order
A new typewriter,
Or I'll never get
That cookbook finished.
Honey, the sweater.
Come on.
And can we please,
Please, ohh, please,
Clean out this barn♪
We say we're going
To do it every spring,
And we never--
And look, you
Could make me a nice,
New office down here.
[Barks]
Harry:
Uh, good idea.
I'm serious.
Me, too.
And all this junk
In here,
We've got
To get rid of it.
And that old tub,
That's going right now--
Oh, mom!
What♪
Uh, uh,
You missed it.
I missed what♪
Um...
A red and white
Spotted hoot owl.
A fruit bat.
Yeah, a bat.
Uh-huh.
Don't you have some
Homework, young lady♪
Well, I'm--i'm...
I'm gonna stay down here
And help dad.
Spell "mississippi."
Um...
M-i-s-s--um...
"I"...um...
Oh, who cares, mom♪
I live in maine.
Inside.
Neat, dad.
He came right up
To the boat.
I swear he was
Gonna jump right in.
[Barking]
He's sick.
Do you think
He lost his mommy♪
Well, probably hasn't
Eaten in a while.
I can't get him
To take the bottle.
Come on.
It helps if
You heat the milk.
When are you guys
Going to realize
I see all, I know all.
Look, I'm
Just gonna wean him
And then I'll
Let him go, I promise.
When have
I heard that before♪
And you, young lady,
Back to your room.
Thank you very much.
Go on.
[Barking]
♪ I know something
You don't know ♪
Want to know♪
No.
It's real neat.
There's a baby seal
In the barn.
Let's call him moby,
'Cause he comes from the sea.
So does seaweed, duh.
How about we
Call him marky♪
Oh, and that would
As in marky baker♪
As in,
"Oh, he's so cute!"
As in my diary,
That's an invasion
Of my privacy!
I could sue you!
Hey, nobody is going
To sue anybody, paula.
Let's wash up
For supper, come on.
[Barks]
You, too, missy.
Come on. Hup, 2.
You know, there's
Just no information
About
How to nurse a pup.
Harry, what
Are you thinking♪
The fishermen are
Trying to get rid of them
And here you're
Gonna adopt one♪
Well, let me worry
About the fishermen.
And what about toni♪
She's already attached.
What if he dies♪
What if you can't
Get him to eat♪
Harry, I love animals
As much as you do,
You know that.
But sometimes,
You just have to let
Nature take its course.
Nature did
Take its course.
You better get him
To doc mcintyre.
I know you're sad
And you miss your mom,
But please don't die.
I'll be your
Best friend forever...
And I'll take
Care of you always,
I promise.
And I love you.
Toni...
Look at this.
What's that♪
Well, seals go around
On their bellies,
So their n*pples
Are inverted,
So I took
This old bucket
And cut a hole in it,
Put in some
Baby bottle n*pples,
And covered it in
Old wet suit material,
And, uh, presto,
Artificial mother...
I hope.
[Suckling]
Toni: dad, wake up.
Dad, look.
Well, I'll be.
What do you think
We should call him♪
Hmm...
How about andre♪
Andre♪
Ok, andre
It is.

Andre, come on in.
The water's fine.

Harry: come on.
What are you,
A seal or a mouse♪

But you
Ain't barely touched it.
I need a new baseball

Doesn't even fit.

[Bell rings]
Hi, mark.
Hi, paula.
[Bell rings]
Class, I've allowed
Toni whitney...
To bring in something
That she considers
Very special
For show and tell.
This is the newest member
Of our family.
[Rawk]
He came to us
From the wild,
And I named him andre
After a famous seal trainer.
He's my best friend,
And our favorite
Color is blue.
[Arrhh]
Big deal.
[Blows raspberries]
[Children laugh]
Andre!
[Laughter]
[Snorting
And chattering]
Toni: be friends!

[Children chuckling]
[Andre roars]
[Arf arf arf]
Ain't waitin' for no
Go-ahead from nobody.
Popped off 2 more of 'em
Just this mornin'.
Well, if it ain't rockport's
Very own harbormaster.
I been out there
All day, every day,
And I ain't seen him
Once this week.
Yep. And I almost
Ran aground
Off round bay
'Cause he didn't
Replace the light
In the buoy.
Got a seal
For a pet.
Look, guys, I just wanted to
Get him strong enough,
And back to the wild
He'll go.
Toni, sobbing:
It's not fair.
I promised him
When he got better
That I would
Take care of him.
He's my best friend.
Me and him
Are best friends.
I know, sweetie.
Andre knows
How much you love him.
But sometimes, when
You really love someone,
You have to
Let them go.
And he belongs
In the wild.
He does.
Mom...
He'll die.
[Sniffles]
Want to
Come along♪
I'll bet andre'd like it
If you did.
[Andre barks]
[Rahrr]
[Arf]
I found him out
Near robinson's rock.
Maybe he'll feel at home
Out there, huh♪
Toni. Can you keep
A secret♪
I mean really
Keep a secret♪
[Blender whirs]
Toni, since when
Do you like herring♪
And, harry, why is there
Herring in the fridge♪
Oh, it's just
For a friend.
A bad-smelling, fish-eating,
Raspberry-blowing friend♪
Good guess, mom.

You and me can travel
Around the world.
And we'll never
Have to go to school.
And we won't need anybody.
Well, maybe mom and dad
Can visit, and, uh, steve.
But not paula.
[Pfftt]
Ok, paula can come,
But only if
She's nice to us.
Well, gotta go.
Just wanted to show you
My new fall coat.
Oh, no!
Look what
You just did.
Now I'm gonna get it.
That was bad, andre!
Bad boy!
Jeez. It's colder
Than blue blazes out there.
Yeah.
Where the hell
Did summer go♪
I thought andre would've
Been swimming south by now.
Yeah. I don't know what
I'm gonna do about that.
I mean, it
Scares me to death
He might've got too attached
To this place
To move south
For the winter.
He's still pretty much
Of a pup, you know.
This harbor
Freezes over well.
Yep. I expect
Those ice floes
Could squish a seal pup's head
Like a grape.
Real nice, griff.
Well, you boys
Look great.
Now, no tricking,
And I mean it.
Bye, hon.
See ya.
[Clucking]

This could be big trouble,
Grounded till christmas.
But it's worth it.
Yeah.

You are in a world

Oh, dad,
It was hilarious.
I mean, you should've
Seen her yellin'. Ha ha!
You are grounded
For a week.
You will do every bit
Of yard work
That mrs. Mccann needs from
Now on forever. You got it♪!
Jeez, dad,
You used to think
This stuff was funny.

Well, they're

Did you know
Steve got a weekend job
On danny snow's
Fishing boat♪
Why didn't he talk
To me about it♪
I didn't even know
He wanted to fish.
Harry, open your eyes.
There's a lot
You don't know.
I'm sorry, andre.
I didn't mean
To yell at you.
It's just that
It was a new coat,
And I'm always losing buttons
And mittens and stuff.

Adult toni: in january,
The harbor froze over,
So dad built a home
For andre in the barn.
He was afraid that andre
Couldn't protect himself
In the wild because he'd
Been around people too long.
But the winter weather
Grew bleaker,
And so did andre's spirit.
He still not eatin'♪
Well, let's try him
Halibut.
Thanks.

I'd say this

That was dan snow.
He says he lost

And he needs you

You don't say.
Thanks, ellwyn.
Right. See you later,
Harry.
You're one lucky
Son of a g*n, whitney.
You almost became
Itty-bitty fish bait.
Yeah, says who♪
The coast guard.
It was active.
Some kind of expl*sive
From who knows where.
No kidding. Huh.
I thought he'd gone nutty.
He was trying
To warn me.
Well, he can

And you,
Get out of here now.
I don't want to see you
Back here ever.
Look, mr. Whitney,
I'm sorry.
You're sorry, all right.
And you're not fit to be
Around my daughter.
Yeah♪ Well,
My dad says that--
He says that you're not
Fit to be harbormaster.
What♪
He also says that--
That you're a big jerk!
You stay away from him,
Paula. I mean it.
You don't even
Know him!
Yeah, like father,
Like son.
Oh, dear!
He is so unfair!
He doesn't care
About me!
Oh, of course
He does.
He loves you
Very much.
He just has his
Way of showing it.
You know,
When you were born,
He tried to take
A front page ad
Out in the
Newspaper.
I'm not kidding.
And he was so mad
When they put you
On the 11th page
With all the other
Birth announcements.
Oh, paula, he was
So proud of you.
He still is.
No, he's not.
He doesn't care at all.
And I don't know why you
Always stand up for him.
I hate him!
Oh, I hate him!
Don't--don't you
Ever, ever
Say that about
Your father again!
Do you hear me,
Young lady♪
Adult toni: well,
Paula didn't leave.
And by the time
The first snow fell,
Dad was having trouble with
More than just my sister.
Hey, steve.
How's it goin'♪
Hey, dan snow says
You're doing a great job
Helping him out.
I'm proud of you, son.
I'm real proud.
Dad, the guys are voting
You out next election.
Oh, not you, too.
They don't think
You look out
For their interests
At all.
I mean, you don't
Check moorings.
You never set prices.
When's the last time you
Called a meeting, dad♪
They hardly ever
See you.
I gotta hear
About it all day.
Look, I don't need this
From a 15-year-old.
I'm 16, dad!
16!
Steve!
Look, you know I'm not just
Playing around out there.
I mean, something
Like this just--
It never comes along.
Well, according
To jack adams,
You could
Go to jail.
Nobody's gonna
Put me in jail.
Harry, you can't afford
To lose your job.
What I'm learning
From andre
Could completely
Change the way
People think about
Wild animals,
Maybe even save lives.
And what about
Your kids' lives♪
What about my life♪
Thalice.
Thalice.
Ok. Ok.
I'll give him up.
I'll call jack adams.
He can pick him up
Tomorrow.
I'll put him
In the aquarium.
Listen.
Don't say
Anything yet, ok♪
Let me figure out
A way to tell toni.
I love you.
Yeah, I love you, too.
Hey, toni, listen,
I need to talk to
You about something
And I need you
To try--
[Telephone rings]
[Ring]
Hello♪
Yeah, griff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's a problem
For the fishermen.
I know. He's the cause
Of everybody's troubles.
I wish he'd just swim away.
Maybe he just
Needs some help.
I know how we can
Make him go away.
[Andre barks]
So he'll never
Come back.
Never♪
Hmphf. No kidding.
Yeah, I had a feeling
It was him.
Yeah, thanks, griff.
What♪
Billy baker's the one
Who's been sicking
Those mammal
Protection feds on me.
Harry,
Keep your cool.
That is it. I'm having it out
With him once and for all.
[Andre barks]
Andre!
Radio: severe small craft
Warnings have been posted...
Mom, paula and mark just
Took off in the boat
And they got andre.
They stole him.
They what♪
They stole him!
Steve, keep an eye
On your sister, please♪
[Tv inaudible]
Announcer: 4 in 1.
The tire with true traction
That grips the road
And with smooth travel
No matter what the weather.
I am sick of this!
What is your problem♪
You are! You are,
You son of a--
The great harry--
Great job, great house.
Great family, great guy!
I can barely feed my boy.
Well, how is that
My fault♪
I didn't ask to
Be no celebrity, no.
But I would have made
A hell of a lot better
Harbormaster than you.
Harry! Harry!
Paula and mark are
Out in the boat.
They've got andre.
What♪
There's a small
Craft warning.
[Thunder]
What are you doing♪
You said we'd just
Drop him off
So he could
Swim south, right♪
If we let him go,
He'll just come back.
This is the only way,
Paula.
No!
Let go of the g*n!
You can't sh**t him!
No!
Paula: andre♪
What have you done♪
I wanna go home!
Paula, I'm sorry.
It's your fault,
You jerk!
Move!
[Thunder]
We didn't mean it.
We didn't want
To hurt him.
Calm down, honey.
Slow down.
Tell me
What happened.
Andre's gone.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it!
Come on, let's
Get in the car.
Dad, I'm sorry--
Boy, I could
Kick your a*s.
Mom! Mom!
She just disappeared.
What♪
I was watching tv
And when I turned around,
She was gone.
Oh, steve!
I'm sorry.
What♪
Her dinghy's gone,
Too, dad.
[Thunder]
Now get in the car
And stay there.
Steve, you get in the car--
Look, I know
These waters.
With that southeastern
Blowing,
That little dinghy
Could current on down--
I think you've done enough.
Just get the hell out of here!
Stop it!
Just stop it!
My baby is in trouble
Because of the 2 of you.
Now just find her,
For god's sakes.
I'm gonna call
The coast guard.
I need the
Coast guard, please!
Come on.
Come on!
Tide's pulling out.
If she started out
From your place,
She's headed
For rocky point.
[Thunder]
Dad, I'm coming
With you!
Help me.
Help!
Somebody help!
Do you see anything♪
Nothing!
Help!
Help me!
Help!
Somebody help me!
Help!
Andre!
[Andre barking]
Well, I'll be.
Andre!
Where'd you go, andre♪
Dad! Dad!
I'm over here!
Aah!
Help!
Help!
Mark, no!
Mark!
Help!
Help!
Ok. It's ok now.
Come in, rockport
Coast guard.
This is vessel m-e-902-j.
Come in, over.
Yeah, this is billy baker.
Tell thalice
That toni's ok.
We're coming in.
It's all right.
Over and out.
I'm proud of you, boy.
[Andre barking]
Toni! Oh, baby.
Come here. Thank god.
Oh, baby.
Don't you ever do
That to me again.
Toni! Toni!
Let him go!
Let him go!
It's ok. It's ok.
It's ok.
Honey, it's all right.
I told him to come.
[Andre barks]
Listen, andre's
Gonna go live
In the
Aquarium now.
[Chains rattle]
But why♪
He saved my life.
I know, honey, listen.
Remember when andre
Came home last spring♪
How beaten up he was♪
Well, andre's done
So much for us,
We need to do this
For him.
It's too dangerous here.
He might not make it
Through another winter.
Now, when you
Love somebody,
You do whatever it takes
To keep them safe.
I'm so sorry.
That's ok.
It's all right.
I don't know what I'd do
If anything every
Happened to you.
You know we're gonna
Take good care of him.
And everyone
At the aquarium
Is going to love
Having him with us.
And you get to visit him
Whenever you want.
Ok♪
Ok, but he doesn't
Like smelt or halibut.
His favorite fish
Is herring.
And he needs a belly rub
At least once a day,
And he needs to be
Around a lot of people.
Well, he'll
Always have me.
Well, I love you, andre.
And I'll visit you
All the time,
Even if I have
To walk to boston.
Don't worry.
He'll be ok.
Hey, boys.
Hey, billy.
Hey, congratulate me.
Yeah, what's up♪
I've been offered a job
With the marine mammal
Protection agency.
What, you going to
Be a fed now, harry,
Wear one of them
Green hats♪
Can you believe it♪
They wanna pay me
To do research for them.
What, are you going
To wear a badge♪
Oh, ellwyn. Do you
Get to wear a g*n♪
Hey, listen up, everybody.
I wanna say something.
Well, since I'm such a
Terrible harbormaster anyway,
I've decided to step down.
And, uh...
[Murmuring]
Well, you know elections
Are coming up.
Well, I'd like
To nominate billy baker.
Well, uh, everybody
Hates a harbormaster,
So it's a perfect job
For me.
[All moan]
All kidding aside...
I know this harbor
Better than anybody.
And I'm gonna work
My butt off for you.
One thing's for sure.
I gotta be better
Than harry.
[Applause]
Hey, look,
It's on. It's on.
Reporter: rockport, maine,
As many of us know,
Has been put on the map
Because of andre the seal.
He's attracted a record
Number of visitors
To his new home at the
Eastern aquarium near boston.
Andre's nightly shows
At rockport's dockside,
Made him
A national celebrity.
But the seal's owner,
Harry whitney,
Placed him in
The aquarium last fall
For his own safety.
Alfred davis,
The aquarium's director,
Says that andre is
Well-loved and cared for
And seems to be
Adapting well to captivity.
Come on. It's
A long drive to boston.
And I know andre is
Anxious to see you.
Dad, I've been thinking.
Yeah, about what♪
Well, maybe andre
Would like it more
With the other seals.
He is a wild animal,
You know,
So I think he'd like it
Better in the wild.
Well, miss whitney,
What do you
Recommend♪
Adult toni: it was
A long trip to boston.
I knew I'd made the hardest
Decision of my life.
I was about to say good-bye
To my best friend
For the last time.
That's it. Great. Ok.
Ok. Good.
Thanks.
I'm gonna miss him.
We've become
Good friends, huh♪
[Whimpers]
I think he should be able
To live in the wild
If he wants to.
Well, some
Of his own
Will prepare him
For the winter.
We really appreciate
Everything you've done for him.
Well, andre,
You'll be ok.
Love you.
Ok, there we go.
Harry: that'a boy, andre.
Go on, andre.
Dad...
Do you think andre's
Making new friends
With the wild seals♪
I hope so, honey.
Hey, harry.
Yeah♪
That was dwayne
In nantucket.
He says his friend
Buddy clemmons
Spotted andre
Off rhode island.
Criminy. I guess
He decided to head
For southern waters
After all, huh♪
Go on.
You know, dad,
I kinda miss andre.
I do.
No way, al. You probably
Just saw a seal
That looks like him.
Buddy clemmons
Thinks he saw him
Off rhode island
This morning.
You're listening
To sully sullivan
On wroc, the station
To listen to
For andre updates.
If you think
You've spotted him,
Call in on the roc hotline
At 555-1120.
In the last 2 days,
There have been
Multiple sightings of
Rockport's famous seal.
I can't find the
Ball scores anywhere.
[Static]
Look, andre got pretty
Famous in his day.
Believe me, every seal
People see for awhile
Is going to be andre.
Yeah, but mr. Whitney,
Isn't it true
That there have been
Multiple sightings
On the eastern seaboard
In the last 2 days♪
Sure. Maryland, canada.
I expect they'll be calling me
From california next.
[Seal barking]
Thalice, it's lou down
At friendship bay.
He's on his way.
Hurry up!
Didya hear♪
What's going on♪
He's coming.
Yay! Whoo!
Hey, andre!
Hey, andre.
Welcome home.
[Raspberry]
Adult toni: many years ago,
A seal called andre
Made his first
Historic swim home,
And his life
Became legend.
Every winter,
He lived the life
Of a country gentleman
At the aquarium.
Every spring,
My dad set him free.
And every time, andre made
The 250-mile journey home
To spend the
Summer with us--
His family.
By the time andre
Was 24-years old,
He could hardly see,
But that didn't stop him
From completing
His final trip.
In all my journeys
Since my youth,
And on all the journeys
I have ahead of me,
I know I'll never find
A better friend than andre.
