? On the good ship Lollipop

? It's a night trip, into bed you hop?

? And dream away?

? Dream away?

? On the good ship Lollipop?

? Mmm pop?

? You'll awake?

? With a tummy ache?

? On the good ship Lollipop?

? It's a night trip, into bed you'll hop?

? And dream away?

? On the good ship Lollipop?

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

Well, you're here at last!

Yes, ma'am.

I want you to see it.

Here you are.

Thank you, ma'am.

Merry Christmas to you.

Ohhh!

Oh, ain't that pretty?

Why, it's far too nice to eat...

if you ask me.

I'll save a piece for you anyway.

Now I must dash.

- Here, I'll hand it to you.

- Thanks.

Well, good-bye, now.

Good-bye.

Bye. Have a good time.

Look out!

Aah!

That man was on the wrong

side of the road.

He was going too fast.

Why don't we get the doctor?

Do you live in town here?

Yes. But she ran

right in front of me.

I didn't even have a chance

to put on my brakes.

Why, it's Mary!

You know her?

Yes. She works for the same people I do.

Come on, let's take her over

to the curb. Give me a hand.

Who was it?

It was Mary, our maid...

the mother of the little girl

you saw at the airport.

Ohhh...

Fare, please.

I paid you already!

Oh! So you did!

Ha ha ha!

Hey, Loop, look!

Hey, Bill, hold it a minute.

What's the matter?

I've got bad news for you.

Well, what happened?

There's no use breaking

it to her right now.

I'll tell her later.

I can't say thanks, but...

I want you to know

I appreciate you...

coming down here to tell me.

Wouldn't you let me go along?

If you don't mind...

I'd rather be alone with her.

I understand.

Honey?

How much do you love me?

Mmhh!

Mmm.

I'll never forget this day.

It's the best I've ever

had in my whole life.

Good-bye, Shirley.

Had a swell time...

at your party.

- Bye, Shirley!

- We'll have another one soon.

Swell dance.

Good-bye, Shirley.

We have to go back.

So long, Shirley.

Bye.

Is it all over now, Loop?

No.

They have to go

back to work...

but we're just starting.

Now, because today is Christmas...

you can do anything

that you want to do.

What would you like

to do best of all?

You know. Fly.

That's just what I thought.

Hey, Bill.

All right, Shirley...

we're goin' for a ride...

just you and I.

You mean way up high?

Yep...

way up high.

Come on.

Ooh! We're going up!

That's right.

We're going way up.

Do you know

where we're going?

No.

We're goin'

right up to heaven.

- We are?

- Mm-hmm.

You know, Shirley...

heaven's

a very nice place.

If we're good,

we'll all live there someday.

Yes, I know.

My mother and father

are there now.

So is my daddy.

We're up pretty high now.

Are we getting near it?

We're right in it now.

It's all around us,

everyplace you look.

It must be a awful big place.

It is, honey.

Shirley...

I've got somethin' to tell you.

A story?

No, not a story.

You know...

ever since your daddy

went to heaven...

your mother's been

awful lonesome for him.

Yes, I know.

Sometimes she cries

and everything.

Well...

today your mother

got so lonesome for your daddy...

that she went to see him.

All the way up to heaven?

Yep.

All the way up to heaven.

They're up there together now.

You mean...

my mother cracked up, too?

Yes.

Would you take these off

for the little girl?

I think I would.

What's to become of her now?

I don't suppose the Smythes

will do anything for her.

Oh, not them.

They're far too selfish.

- Elizabeth-

- Huh?

No, we couldn't do it.

Oh, how I'd love to have her.

She's such a sweet child.

But if we took her...

we'd have to give up

our place here...

and it mightn't be so easy

gettin' another one.

That's what I was thinking.

Well, I've checked up.

As far as I can find out,

there are no relatives.

Now what are we to do?

There's nothing for us to do.

It's no concern of ours.

We have neither a legal

nor a moral responsibility.

I know that, but after all,

the woman worked for us.

People will naturally

expect us to do something.

Maybe one of those aviators...

would like to adopt her.

Well, if they do,

let them go to court.

All that we can do

is to see...

that the little girl

is placed in an institution...

where she'll be cared for.

I'll speak to judge Thompson about it.

Oh, no, you won't!

Oh. Uncle Ned!

Did I hear you say

you were gonna put...

little Bright Eyes

in an orphan asylum?

Who?

Shirley. Bright Eyes, I call her.

I don't care what you call her.

Well, now, Uncle Ned,

you see, uh...

Anita and I have talked

the matter over...

and we've decided...

that since there are

apparently no relatives...

and since of course...

it's impossible for us

to keep Shirley-

Why is it impossible?

Well, really, Uncle Ned,

you could hardly expect us...

to raise our littleJoy

with the child of a servant.

Servant, my eye!

She was just as good as you are.

I don't know where

you get the idea...

you're so high and mighty.

Why, your father

was a retail butcher!

And your father started

life as a bricklayer!

Why, really, Uncle Ned...

you-you mustn't get so excited.

Well, I will if I want to.

Now, listen to me, you two.

I want you to understand

just one thing.

If you ever expect

to get anything out of me...

you're going to be human

enough and decent enough...

to take Shirley

into this house to live.

I'll pay for her board

and her clothes.

Oh, that wouldn't

be necessary, Uncle Ned.

Of course, Uncle Ned.

We had no idea...

you felt this way

about the child.

Well, I do...

and if you

don't want her here...

I guess I can find

some other place for her.

And listen...

I can find another place

for me, too.

Well, this is going

to be perfectly lovely.

Well, you engaged the woman

against my advice.

I told you not to do it.

Are you blaming me

because the woman died...

and left a child

on our hands?

I'm merely pointing out-

Well, don't bother

pointing anything out.

Uncle Ned?

What do you think?

I think you're an old softy.

Well, would you let them put

a child like that in a home?

In my home.

You're not like those two in there.

You're more like me.

Where's Shirley now?

She's down at

the airport with Loop.

Loop? Who's Loop?

Oh. He's that aviator fellow

you were interested in.

Yes.

Uh-huh. Well, uh...

you go down yourself

and bring her back.

I'll go right now.

Whrrr!

How was the trip

to Ensenada?

Terrific. I didn't

have a minute to myself.

I'm gonna sleep from now on.

Hey, Bob.

That's right.

Come on. We're goin'

to San Francisco right away!

Oh, boy!

How'd you like to make a livin'...

flying a guy like that?

Don't squawk.

He could've said Paris!

Ha ha ha!

Whrrr!

Watch, Loop.

I'm gonna bank.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

We should've had

our belts on.

You didn't make a bank.

You did a barrel roll!

Now, always remember

one thing-

If you bank too sharply,

you're liable to go into a sideslip.

That's what I did, all right.

I went into a sideslip.

Oh, you!

May I come in?

Hello.
