to go and see his father?
I can't.
-I wish I could.
-Yeah, that would be the solution.
Jerome.
This is your chance to do a good deed.
Mama.
Come in.
I've had a hard time finding you.
Oh, Mr Merlin, I didn't mean to cause
nobody any trouble, now.
-Do you know who's the father of that baby?
-Huh?
Polly's baby. Who is the father?
Well, I don't know anything, Mr Merlin.
Nothing at all.
Oh, you don't know, huh?
Would you like to be
an assistant floorwalker again?
Would l!
They'll show.
We have Mr Wharton
on the telephone, now, sir.
Oh, good, good.
And there are two people to see you, sir.
A Mr and Mrs Weiss.
Weiss?
Weiss? I don't know any Weiss.
Tell them to write a letter.
Hello, Wharton? Where are you?
Lake Placid?
Well, what are you doing there?
Skiing.
I'm not paying you $50,000 a year
to go skiing.
You ski back to New York right away
or I'll get another lawyer so quickly
it'll make your head swim.
Skiing at a time like this.
They say it's about a baby, sir.
A baby? Well, show them in. Show them in.
Very good, sir.
This way, please.
-Won't you sit down?
-Thank you.
Mr and Mrs Weiss?
I thought you were Miss Parrish.
Well, that's the name I use at the store.
We've been married for two years.
(STUTTERlNG) Yeah, two years.
Your son just called and there seems to be
some misunderstanding about our baby.
Your baby.
So there's no need to send anybody to
investigate. It would just be a waste of time.
Maybe this will convince you.
Here is the father of that baby.
Go on. Go ahead.
Mr Merlin, um,
your son came over to our flat and said that
you have some wrong impression
about my son.
Well, my son is my son and nobody else's.
I've never heard of such a thing.
I see.
Do you know who that is?
-Who?
-JOHN:
That.That's the father she brought here.
You two seem to have slipped up someplace.
You've got one too many.
So you finally showed up, huh?
I couldn't come any sooner.
Pretty cute, wasn't it,
running out on her like that?
-Like what?
-You're not gonna try to keep this up.
Do you know what this is?
-A coffeepot.
Oh, David!
How do you like that, you piano player?
-How dare you hit a poor, defenceless man!
-Oh, go on, stick up for him.
You might as well cut all this out.
It doesn't convince me.
And I'm not through with you, young man.
I don't know what for,
but I'm gonna prosecute you for something.
Mr Merlin, I'll tell the truth,
and I know what I'm talking about.
Your son put me up to this,
and he's the father.
Dad, this is the truth.
-He's the father.
-Wait a minute.
I'm not the father.
I don't care who the father is.
I'm the grandfather.
-You're not the father?
-No, I'm only the landlady's son.
I didn't wanna do this.
JOHN:
And I'm gonna prosecute you, too,young man.
Polly.
Polly.
-Well, she's gone.
-Gone!
-She'll take the baby.
-Wait a minute, I'll get the car.
MRS WElSS:
Oh, here's your mother coming.Oh, my dear.
-ls he ready?
-Yes.
-Here.
-I've left the rest of my things up there.
I'll let you know where I am.
MRS WElSS:
But wherewill you sleep tonight?
Oh, I'll be all right,
just so they don't find me.
And, Polly, take care of the...
Go on in my room, quick.
-Do you suppose they'll see me?
-Oh, no, no, go ahead.
Go ahead. Be quiet.
Go into my bedroom.
Where's Miss Parrish?
Miss Parrish, she don't live here anymore.
She moved.
-She moved?
-Yes, she moved.
Don't you believe me?
Go on upstairs and see it for yourself.
-Go on upstairs.
-Come on.
-Everything is all right. Just keep quiet.
-All right.
Those tactics may be all right
for Governor Mead,
but this is no way to treat a girl
with a child in her arms.
Madam, I want the truth out of you.
You're concealing that girl's whereabouts.
Whereabouts?
What is a "whereabout"?
Where are you hiding her?
(MRS WElSS LAUGHlNG)
(BABY CRYlNG)
You went upstairs to look at in her room,
didn't you?
-Dad, I'll handle this.
-Let's see what you can do.
Mrs Weiss, we'd very much appreciate it
if you could give us any hint
as to where she went.
MRS WElSS:
I hardly know her myself.She just lived here a few weeks,
and I never ask anybody any questions.
DAVlD:
She must have left some forwardingaddress. Now, please, Mrs Weiss.
MRS WElSS:
I don't know anything about it.DAVlD:
You don't seem to realisewe want to help her. We're friends of hers.
Can't you understand that?
MRS WElSS:
Oh, believe me,I should drop dead.
I could swear on anything. I can swear...
(DUCK QUACKlNG)
You've got that girl here.
Oh, Dad,
you're just making a fool of yourself.
Look, she did mention an aunt
out West somewhere...
(QUACKlNG)
You're not going to take this baby.
I've stood enough.
-I don't care what you say.
-Please listen.
I'm not trying to take your baby away.
You see, I started out thinking
that I only wanted to help you.
And then a while ago,
when I thought you'd gone away,
I realised I was in love with you.
So, will you please marry me? Hmm?
What about the ready-made family?
Of all the families, you and Johnnie...
Ha! I knew it.
Dad, I have something to confess.
I am the father of that baby.
Those are the first true words
you've spoken today.
Come on, Johnnie. We're going home.
I've got a surprise for you.
We're gonna be married tonight.
And you still think
I'm the mother of that baby?
Of course.
POLLY:
Ha ha.
