You are right of course ; ).
In the actual episode, they edited it so it seemed that Flipper was saying..
"..Come Quick....Bud is in trouble with the skiff out on the Coral Barrier....and there's pirates!!
According to the biography written by Flipper's last trainer and most trusted confidant, Flipper in his last two seasons of the show would perform totally off script. Usually long winded but inspired environmental rants. Something about melts ice and toxins. No matter what Flipper said the producers wove into this Lassy shctick when final edit came out for the episode.
Long story short, Flipper quit over creative differences in the production of the show. That gig had legs too: it was good for another three to five seasons easy. After Flipper quit, the show went thru and awkward and unsuccessful period of Flipper stand ins. The show tanked before the end of that season.
