Baby Take a Bow Page #3

---

Ready? Now, in this position, march eight

steps forward and eight steps backward.

Ready? One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Back, three, two, one.

Four, three, two, one.

That's fine.

Now here's the next exercise.

Plant your feet on the floor 18 inches apart.

Bend the trunk forward.

Hands straight down.

Swing your arms upward

and leap about-face...

landing in the same position

that you started.

Are you ready?

All right, go.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

That's splendid.

The next one is even more simple

than the last one.

Stand opposite a table,

right foot on the floor...

and the left on the table.

Now bend down,

touch the left knee with the face.

Repeat four times.

Are you ready?

All right.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

- Whew!

- Now, I know you feel better.

And now for

the reducing exercise.

Now sit on the floor.

You're all going to enjoy this.

Raise the body supporting yourselves

on arms and legs, knees bent.

Now leap forward,

grasshopper fashion.

Six counts and reverse.

Ready? Go.

One, two, three, four,

five, six.

Back, five, four, three,

two, one. That's it.

Now sit erect. Let's start the day

with a good, hearty laugh.

My goodness.

I'll bet Daddy isn't up yet.

You go outside

and play, darling.

Come on, sleeping sickness.

Get up.

- What time is it?

- What time do you want?

It's time you were up

out of that bed.

I wasn't sleeping.

I was thinking.

- Hurry up. Your breakfast will be spoiled.

- Ow! What are you doing?

Top of the morning to you.

And the heat of the evening to you.

- Hey, what are you so pleased about?

- Nothing in particular.

Oh, don't try to kid me. It's written

all over your face. Go look at the mirror.

Congratulations, Larry.

She's a great girl.

You bet she is. And say, we'll never

be able to thank Eddie enough...

- for getting that job for me.

- He was only too glad to do it.

Come on now. Sit down

and have your coffee.

- Aren't you waiting for Eddie?

- I should wait and eat a cold breakfast?

Not for any husband. Sometimes I get

so irritated, I could give him poison.

Yeah, and I get so mad, I could take it.

What do you know about that?

To hear you two in the morning, you'd think

you were ready tojump at each other's throats.

In the morning?

What about the rest of the day?

Well, I just hopeJane and me

get along as well as you two.

Yes, Larry and Jane

got engaged last night.

Well, I don't why a fine girl likeJane

wants to marry a mug like you.

- Well, thanks.

- The bride isn't here,

so I may as well kiss this dummy.

Eddie, got a cigarette?

Sure. Here.

Help yourself.

And I bit for that.

Eddie, will you ever grow up?

Those are just for moochers.

Here, have one of these.

Say, didn't you tell me last night about

some work you had to do on the car this morning?

- Come on. We'll be late.

- A fella never gets a chance

to get any breakfast around here.

Well, you oughtn't to have

so much sleep in the morning.

- Come on.

- Bye.

Good-bye.

- Hello, Shirley.

- Hello, Mr. O'Hara.

- So, you're Eddie Ellison's kid?

- I'm not a kid. I'm a girl.

- And today is my birthday.

- Well.

If I'd have knowed it,

I'd have bought you a present.

- My birthday isn't over yet.

- Oh, isn't it?

It won't be over

until after the party.

Do you wanna come?

We're having ice cream.

Well, I don't like ice cream,

but maybe I'll come anyway.

And maybe you can bring

the present with you.

- There's my daddy.

- Trigger Stone.

Shirley, come here. Come on. Run up.

Your mother wants you.

- Why?

- Never mind. Go ahead. Skip.

Don't forget

my present, mister.

- Bye, Daddy.

- Bye.

Surprised to see me, huh? Listen, you guys,

you gotta help me. That's why I'm here.

- We can't talk here.

- No. Come on.

- I pulled a job last night...

- Not so loud.

I want you guys to help me

get rid of the stuff.

It'll be a cinch for you.

All you gotta do is peddle the stuff,

and we'll split it 50/50.

- You got us wrong, Trigger.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- That goes for both of us.

- I ain't asking you to do nothing crooked.

- Any fence will grab what I got.

- Sure and any cop, too, and us with it.

Nothin' doing. Besides, it ain't doing us

any good bein' seen with you.

Now lay off of us, and don't

hang around here either.

Come on, Larry.

We're late.

Daddy, don't be late

for my party.

I won't.

Things are getting pretty hot

around Park Avenue.

- There was a job pulled at 1170 last night.

- That's in my district.

I want you to handle the job. The Stuart Carson

pearls were stolen shortly after midnight.

Just the kind of a job that Trigger Stone

would pull. I want you to round him up.

I'm sorry, Welch, but we prefer not

to employ men who use your tactics.

Yeah? I get results, don't I?

Say, listen, last night the Stuart Carson

pearls were stolen, weren't they?

You've got a $50,000

insurance policy on 'em.

All right. Give me Daniels, give me a little

authority, I'll recover those in three days.

- Have you got a lead?

- Have I? Wait till you hear it.

Huh. Say, that reward of $5,000

is practically in my pocket right now.

Are you sure Ellison brought the Carson's

car in late yesterday and met his pal here?

- That's right.

- They didn't come back last night?

- No.

- You sure of that? That's all I wanted to know.

- Gee, you look like a general.

- Never mind the looks.

Do you think I'll be able to drive

the car to suit Mr. Carson?

You drive better than I do now.

Guess you can take the wheel tomorrow.

- Hi, Eddie.

- Well, if it isn't the old snooper himself.

All dressed up in his two rubber heels.

That makes three of you... heels.

- Funny fella, huh?

- Say, are you here on business or pleasure?

Pleasure. I can't tell you how glad

I am to see you boys again.

That's too bad we haven't the day off.

Then we could take you for a ride.

That'd be a pleasure.

Well, so long.

We've got a very busy day ahead of us.

Oh. If Welch's brains were in his feet,

he might be able to think.

I wish I'd poked him in the nose,

just for old time's sake.

Listen, you did that once. Next time it's my turn.

- Wouldn't he love to put the hooks in us again.

- You said it.

- I wonder if he's got a job.

- Maybe somebody hired him just for laughs.

- How does that half-wit

get away with his racket?

- I don't know...

but I hope that's the last we ever see

of that ugly pan of his.

Yeah. Ugly is right.

Well, boys,

thanks for the ride.

- I wonder what he wants with the boss?

- I don't know.

- Maybe we made him sore.

- Gee, I got it.

Maybe he's gonna tell Carson

we were in Sing Sing.

- I'm Special Investigator Welch.

The Carsons are expecting me.

- Very well, sir.

Hiya, Daniels.

- Anything new?

- Flannigan's in there. He's covered all the servants.

- Huh. Barking up the wrong tree as usual, eh?
