We can beam them up together.
:50:09
Beautiful, aren't they?
And extremely intelligent.

:50:13
If you'll follow me, please.
:50:20
Despite all they're teaching us,
we have to return them to the open sea.

:50:26
We simply don't have enough money
to feed them two tons of shrimp a day.

:50:33
- How soon?
- Soon.

:50:36
It's too bad, because
they're really quite friendly.

:50:39
I've grown quite attached to them.
:50:45
Now here's a much better way to see
George and Gracie. Underwater.

:51:01
What you're hearing is recorded
whale song, sung by the male.

:51:06
He'll sing anywhere
from 6 to 30 minutes.

:51:10
In the ocean, other whales will
pick up the song and pass it on.

:51:14
The songs change every year.
We don't know their purpose.

:51:21
Are they a navigational signal?
:51:26
Are they part of the mating ritual?
:51:30
Or is it pure communication
beyond our comprehension?

:51:36
Frankly, we just don't know.
:51:39
Maybe he's singing to that man.
:51:46
What the hell?!
Excuse me, wait right here.

:51:56
Excuse me, please.
