Baby's Day Out Page #2

You'll have to ask me later.

- I'm going to look for my baby.

- I'd rather you didn't. I need you here.

- Don't coddle me, Mr Grissom.

- Mrs Cotwell,

there are five million people in this city

and many places where your boy could be.

It would be pointless and dangerous

for you to go out searching for your baby.

I've been through a number of these cases.

I understand how you feel.

Have you ever lost a child?

No, ma'am.

Then you can't possibly know how I feel.

I apologize. But would you stay here, please?

For your baby's sake.

Do you gotta do that?

I like to look nice.

You gotta spit?

I don't know about you,

but I don't eat pieces of my body.

What?

- What did I do?

- You spit on me.

- I did not!

- Somebody did,

and you're the only one in the room.

You jerk!

What? No, no. Quiet.

- You're gonna wake up the baby.

- The baby's on the roof!

Hurry. Come on, hurry.

Eddie!

Ed. Hey, Ed, what happened?

Eddie, are you OK?

- People shouldn't leave this lying around.

- What are you doing, dope?

It was in the way.

- What happened?

- Right, pick him up.

Eddie. Ed, you're drooling.

- Eddie, come on. Come on, Ed. Come on.

- Eddie, what happened? Eddie?

What? This way?

Oh, great. It's gotta be at least 1,000 feet.

- Ed, we're gonna have to jump.

- We're gonnajump?

- Yes. On three. Ready?

- OK.

One.

Two.

Three.

Eddie!

Ed, look...

out!

- What?

- Package.

- Where do you want me to sign?

- Anywhere's fine.

Have a nice... day.

You old bat.

- Which way?

- This way.

Ed!

Are you all right?

How can he be all right?

The guy fell off a building.

Probably got contusions, concussions,

contractions. What's the matter with you?

- Just take it easy. How you feelin'?

- Eddie, how many fingers I got up?

- Two.

- Not you! Hey, Eddie, say somethin'.

- Here, put him here.

- Sit down on the bench. Sit down.

You OK?

Eddie.

When we first seen you fall,

our first thoughts were with you

and your family, should you not survive.

- I prayed, Eddie.

- Shut up!

All right, take it easy.

You wanna maybe get to the right of him.

Wait, Eddie. We don't wanna get a ticket.

- Get to the right. Eddie, get to the right.

- Shut up!

Move in front of him. I'll jump on the back.

- You're makin' me nuts!

- OK. Don't get crazy.

- Just drive. I'll tell you.

- See that lady over there?

There he is! I see him! There he is!

We got him.

He's gone! We lost him!

Look both ways!

I think you hit a cat.

Here's the bus. Eddie, you see it?

He's gettin' ahead of us, Eddie.

There's the bus again.

Driver, next stop, please.

Wait, I don't see him.

- There's the bus.

- I see the bus!

I'll get him!

Wait! Wait! Stop the bus.

I forgot somethin'! Stop the bus!

Wait, wait, wait! Hello! Stop the bus!

Halt! Stop the bus! Wait! Stop the bus!

Did a baby get off this bus?

A little guy, about two feet tall.

- It's an emergency!

- I didn't have nobody today with a baby.

He was by himself!

- What?

- He must have got off.

Oh, great. We're through.

If you didn't park your van on the sidewalk,

people could get by a lot easier.

If you'd limit yourself to a couple of pork

roasts a day, you wouldn't need to worry.

You heard me.

Some people.

- Eddie, how could he get off?

- I seen him.

- What?

- He's in the big broad's purse.

Yeah, this is Carl in 157.

You know anything about a missing baby?

I see her. How could you miss her?

She's as big as a building.

- Eddie, let me do this.

- Will you stop it?

- How do we do it?

- Nonchalant. We'll give her a sandwich.

- She don't need a sandwich. Look at her.

- That's my whole point.

Wait.

Eddie.

Get her, Veeko! You get her, Veeko!

Get her, Veeko. You got her, Veek.

Hang in there, Veek. You got her! Come on!

Who's next?

How about you, Mr Comedy?

"We'll give her a sandwich," huh?

"As big as a building," huh?

Not so easy making jokes

with my fist in your mouth, is it?

- I'm not afraid of you.

- Come on. She's crazy.

Anybody else wanna take a shot?

Chicken!

How did you get out of

Mother Goose Corner?

So, you got a nasty little surprise for me?

You guys are worthless!

Yeah, right, Eddie. Blame us.

- You know, I'm gettin' sick of your insults.

- Then why don't you quit?

- Oh, yeah? Let you two have all the money?

- What money? The kid is gone!

There you go, my little escape artist.

Now, if you were a baby

lost in the big city, where would you go?

... speculation, but a ransom figure

in the millions of dollars was mentioned.

Security is tight around the Cotwell mansion

and at Cotwell Industry Towers downtown.

Ronnie Lee has more on the story. Ronnie?

There's no word from police,

but our sources tell us

that a nine-month-old baby boy was abducted

at approximately ten o'clock this morning.

We have confirmed that

a photographer and two assistants

from the Downtown

Baby Photographers studio

were scheduled to photograph

the missing child today.

A spokesman for the photography

studio declined to comment.

... extremely tight. In fact, police

and FBI units have sealed off the area.

Earlier I attempted to reach millionaire

Bennington Cotwell at his office.

Though reporters were turned away,

a reliable source informed us that Cotwell...

A spokesman for the company said

that Mr Cotwell was unavailable.

Hang on a second. Keep rolling. OK.

Where'd he go?

We're always, like, this close.

- Hello.

- Hello. Is this Mr Cotwell?

- Yes. Who is this?

- My name's Depke. Joe. Joe Depke.

Yeah. Listen, I might have some information

on the whereabouts of that child.

- I seen the baby.

- Where?

Right across the street on the curb.

Where'd he go?

It's the craziest thing. I don't remember.

Maybe we'll take a ride.

See if you remember then.

- You want money? How much?

- Don't embarrass me. Don't insult me.

- Your money's no good here. Put it away.

- Where's the baby?

House across the street.

Second floor.

McCrays. No guarantee.

Listen, mister, I didn't know your kid.

I just saw his picture on TV.

I called because I care.

- Your name's McCray?

- Yeah. What did I do?

We're looking for a missing child.

- These are my kids.

- Mind if we take a look?

Hello, ma'am.

Hi.

Sir, in here.

Baby.

You have a beautiful little boy.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'll pray he comes back to you.

These kids are all I've got, so I know

how I'd feel if I was in your place.

I hope you never are.

For your children's sake.

Sorry we inconvenienced you.

Be there in a second.

- I'm sorry for the trouble.

- Sir?

I believe in my heart that someone

somewhere watches over the babies.

Yes, I hope so.

You have everything? Are you sure?

I can't believe this. You know,

it ain't the wisest strategy to kidnap a baby

and then let the damn thing

loose on the streets.

Babies crawling in traffic tend

to draw attention, don't you think?

To the left, I think. You see? The cab.

Got you now, you little...

- Eddie!

- My money!

Come on! Come on! Go! Go!

Go! No, wait!
