Baby Take a Bow Page #2

---

the car, you start at the factory.

Gee, Mr. Carson, I don't know

how to thank you.

But anyway, I wanna

thank you for Larry too.

- We'll make good for you, sir. Both of us.

- I'm sure you will.

- What is your friend's name?

- Larry Scott.

Oh, yes.

Thank you.

- Hiya, fella.

- Well, what's the verdict?

- Guilty. You start work tomorrow.

- Great.

Aw, gee thanks, Eddie. What a break after

unloading freight and washing dishes.

Did you say anything about me?

I mean, about Sing Sing?

I didn't tell him about myself,

so why should I tell him about you?

Do you think it would make

any difference if he knew?

- I don't think so, but why take a chance?

- Yeah, I guess you're right.

Well, I gotta run. I'm calling

forJane at the dancing school.

Now that you've got a job, I suppose

she'll lead you right up to the altar.

- Not if I can lead her first.

- Okay, kid, do your stuff.

- If you see Kay, tell her

I'm bringing home liver and onions.

- Okay. So long.

Hello, Mommy.

- Hello, precious.

- Mommy.

- Oh, don't let me interrupt, Jane.

- That's all right, Kay.

The class is over.

You may go now, children.

- May I show Mommy

the new step you taught me?

- Not now, darling.

- Better wait till we get home, hmm?

- It'll only take a minute.

Look.

- That was marvelous, darling.

- Wait till I get home and show it to Daddy.

He'll never be able

to do it as well as you.

- Hello, girls.

- Hello, Larry.

Hi, Kay.

Meet Mr. Carson's new chauffeur.

- That's wonderful.

- Oh, Larry, I'm so glad.

That calls for

a special celebration.

- How about you two having supper with us?

- That'd be fine, huh?

- I know, liver and onions. Sold.

- That's great. I'll get my things.

And Shirley. Now look at

what I've got for you.

Ooh. Thank you,

Uncle Larry.

- Now what are you gonna give me?

- A kiss.

Come on, sweet.

Get your hat and coat on.

Does she know about

her birthday party tomorrow night?

Try and keep anything from

that little monkey with Eddie around.

Trigger Stone was released

from Sing Sing yesterday.

The warden reports he was

hard to handle up there.

Bragged about what he'd do when he got out.

Better keep an eye on him, boys.

- Hiya, Sarge.

- Anything we can do for you, Welch?

No, but there's something

I can do for the department.

- Wait. The captain's busy.

- He won't be too busy to see me

when he knows what I got.

Hiya, Cap.

- Hello.

- Well, I'm gonna give you a break.

- Yeah?

- You ever hear of the Stuart Carsons?

- Yes. They live on Park Avenue.

- You remember Eddie Ellison?

- He's their chauffeur.

- You know a Larry Scott?

He's out on parole.

Well, here's something

about them that you don't know.

- You mean about Ellison getting

Scott a job with the Carsons?

There you are. Plain as the nose on your face.

They got something up their sleeves.

- Listen, Welch, those boys are as clean as a whistle.

- Sure they are.

Eddie Ellison's been out six years.

He's strictly on the level.

Got a swell wife

and a cute little kid.

Let me tell you something.

You've hounded those boys enough.

You've had them fired from jobs,

stopped them from getting new ones.

- You leave them alone.

- All right. I was only trying

to give you the right steer.

- Thanks, Welch. We appreciate it.

- No trouble at all.

Anytime I can do anything for you,

don't hesitate to call.

Still trying to promote himself a job.

Just the same. We better keep an eye

on Scott and Ellison. Never can tell.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, 10.

- Ready or not, I'm coming.

- Don't you peek, Daddy.

Well, she certainly can hide

better than anybody else in the world.

Well, I wonder

where she can be.

Ah, now I've got you.

- I don't know where she is.

- Here I am.

Oh, so you

think you can wrestle, huh?

Where are you? Where are you?

Now I've got you.

You know, I think I'm gonna spank you.

Now I'm gonna eat you all up.

Oh, what a meal. Look, lamb's leg

and pig's feet and duck's neck.

You're my little lamb, little apple

dumpling, my sugar-pie and I love you.

You big baby.

Keeping her awake.

There, didn't I tell you now?

Mommy's always right.

- There, you see? You get kissed, and I get scolded.

- Oh.

- Mmm.

- Kiss Daddy good night.

- Good night, my little "g-nom-e."

- I'm not a "g-nom-e," am I, Mommy?

No, darling.

You're Mommy's little elfie.

Then if I'm an elfie,

what are you?

Well, I'm a... I'm a...

- Good night, darling.

- Good night, Mommy.

Daddy.

Come here.

Tell me what you bought me

for a birthday present.

- Oh, no. That's a secret.

- Will you tell me if I guess?

- Mmm, well, maybe.

- A pair of roller skates?

- No.

- A dollhouse?

Aw, Daddy. If you tell me, I'll tell you

what I'm gonna get you for your birthday.

- Oh, no. I wanna be surprised.

- Will you tell me for a kiss?

- Well, that's awful tempting, but...

- I bet I know. A ballet dress.

- A ballet dress. Now, what made you think of that?

- 'Cause that's what I want most.

Come on now, you little "g-nom-e."

You've gotta go to sleep.

I'm gonna get a ballet dress.

I'm gonna get a ballet dress.

- Don't tell Mommy I told you.

- I won't.

Now, come on.

You snap those eyes shut.

- I will if you sing to me.

- All right.

Rock-a-bye baby

On the treetop

When the wind blows the cradle will rock

When the bough bends

the cradle will fall

Down will come baby

cradle and all

- Yippee!

- Oh, now, come on, darling. You go to sleep.

You're going to get me in trouble

with your mother. Good night now.

- Have you been in there all this time?

- Uh-huh.

- Did you tell her about her present?

- Who, me?

- Gee, won't she look cute in that.

- It's just darling.

- It cost an awful lot.

- Well, it's for Shirley, isn't it?

She only has a birthday

once a year.

- Every day is her birthday with you.

- And why shouldn't it be?

- We better hide it from her.

- Say, here's another little gadget

I bought for Shirley.

- What is it?

- Take a look.

- I don't see a thing.

- No, but we do.

Oh, Eddie, you and your tricks.

You're not going to give it to the baby.

You're making her as bad as you are.

- Say, how about going

to the movies with us tonight?

- Oh, thanks.

- But we can't leave Shirley.

- They're showing 10,000 Years

in Sing Sing at the Cameo.

- Gee, what a long stretch.

- They say it's awful funny.

Not for my dough.

- Well, come on, Jane. We'll be late.

- Larry, what's your hurry?

- If you miss three or four years,

it don't make any difference.

- Have a good time.

- Thanks. Well, I'm sorry

you won't come with us.

- So long.

- Good-bye.

- Hey, Larry?

- Yeah?

We gotta be on the job early. Stop by

and we'll dunk a couple of doughnuts.

- Right.

- And say, let me know

what the guy did to get 10,000 years.

- So long.

- So long.

Good morning everybody.

The first exercise this morning

is a simple one.

Cross the left foot

in front of the right.

Now bend the trunk,

grasp the ankles with both hands.
