Oh, Slicker.

Herbie.

Take it easy, Herbie. Slicker.

I'm goin' fast.

Oh, no, ya don't.

No, you either.

Look at this place. Frightened depositors,

caused a false alarm to be sent...

...and made a shambles out of my office.

Well, say something. What

do you think about the car?

Get out of here. Get

out. Without my G.I. loan?

Absolut... get out. All right.

Come on. I'm sorry. Is that final?

Absolutely final. Get out

of here. Get out. Get out.

I'm gonna give you one

more chance. Get out.

Get out. Okay. Slicker, we

ain't gonna get that loan.

Evey, get down from there.

All right, Aunt Sylvia.

We're all through, Miss Hunter. That's fine.

No one would ever know this

was once a broken-down bus.

I should say not. What

about the bill? Don't worry.

Mr. Smith and Mr. Brown will be back

from the bank any minute. Thank you.

Come on, Herbie,

will ya?

There's no sense walking

the streets all day.

We might as well go home and

break the news to the kid.

I don't think I can do it.

Gee, I wish that I...

G. I... Gee, I got it.

What's the matter? How about

borrowin' the money from the G.I. s?

Hey, that's an inspiration.

I'm glad I thought of that.

Why, those dog faces will be

tickled to death to help little Evey.

Do you think we can get the

money by the big race Saturday?

Yes, if you keep out of my way.

Go over to the bus and relax.

I'll round up the boys,

all of them.

All of them except Collins.

That Slicker's a smart fella.

Why didn't I have brains enough to think

about rounding up the boys from our outfit.

I should have thought of it.

No, not me, I never think.

I'm a big dope.

I'll get a job.

That oughta help Evey.

Maybe I'll be almost as smart as Slicker.

That's what I'll do.

Are you fellows satisfied the

car is everything I said it was?

Sure.

You got us, Slicker.

Here's the dough.

Thanks, fellows.

Bill, this is swell. It's going

to solve everybody's problem.

That calls for a drink.

Drinks are on the house.

Lemonade.

Lemonade?

You didn't expect it to be

made with apricots, did ya?

We'd like somethin' stronger.

I'll squeeze another lemon.

You see? Anything to

accommodate you boys.

We got the dough we got the dough

There's not a son of a gun

can worry us anymo'

Mo'?

It rhymes.

I'm showering.

Must be some of the boys.

Pardon me just a minute.

Uh-oh. It's Collins.

Come on.

It can't be...

not Collins.

It is.

Well, well, well.

My favorite detail.

My, isn't this cozy?

Now, look... All right,

Brown. Where's that kid?

What kid? You know what I'm talking about.

Evey. Evey? She went back to France.

The real estate office reported two

veterans moved in here with a kid.

Herbie's the only young kid around here.

Huh.

He ain't this young.

Give me back my doll. Where is she?

Evey. Evey.

Where's that kid?

Evey, come out wherever

you are. Do ya hear me?

No, you don't. Stand aside.

I'm gonna look in that closet.

You'll be sorry.

Get away from there.

Now, look...

Brown, you'll get 10 years for

obstructing justice for this,

you idiot.

Every knock is a boost in...

forget it.

Pardon me, did that light stay on? Yes.

Thank you.

Why, you.

Not with a child in my

arms. Evey's here someplace.

Herbie Brown, if you don't tell me where

that kid is, I'll break every bone...

You leave my uncle alone. Ahhh.

Come out of there.

Look, Sarge.

You keep out of this. I thought

you said she went back to France.

I didn't know she had a round-trip

ticket. Can't we talk it over?

No. This means a promotion for me.

Come on, you two. All right, take it easy.

Quit stallin'.

Keep goin'..

Maybe we better go out the back

door. There ain't no back door.

Officer, my name's Bill Gregory

and these boys are my partners.

We just raised enough money

to pay for my new racing car.

When I win the Gold Cup Saturday,

we're in the midget car business.

And Evey is here to stay. What can you

lose by waitin' till after the race?

Plenty, the tip from the real

estate office went to headquarters.

So what? Give us another chance.

On account of you, I was

transferred from Times Square...

...to Tenth Avenue and

now from Tenth to here.

I'm sick and tired of havin' the

three of ya hang over my head.

Oh, boy, that's it. Get some water.

Get some water. Give me

a handkerchief, quick.

There's the water.

Who's that?

Roberts, the immigration service.

Uh-oh, get Evey under cover.

Look out. Bill, pull the drapes.

You guys grab furniture.

I'll stall 'em at the door.

Go ahead.

Grab everything.

Hey, what's going on here?

I don't know. Open up.

How do you do? You didn't have to

bring an officer here to evict us.

I'm not here to evict you.

You want to rent the place,

but you can't wait till we move out.

Mr. Roberts doesn't want to rent this

place. He came here expecting a child.

Well,

congratulations.

We came here looking for a party.

Sorry, the party's over.

Pardon me, sir.

Oh, excuse me.

Have you seen a little girl around here? No.

You forgot that. Oh,

that belongs to you all.

To me?

It belongs to me?

Collins.

What are you doing here?

Get up.

Answer me.

What are you doing here? Where am I?

Where are you.

Captain.

Here's the little girl we've been looking fo...

That eviction must have been a gag.

All right, Collins, what's

your alibi this time?

Well, Captain, there was... I know,

there were two peddlers and a girl,

and they got away and I

suppose they took your badge.

Oh, no, sir, here it is. Oh, that's fine.

Now you can give it to me.

Hey, hold it, Mulroney.

Oh, it's you. I was leaving for

home. I got tired waiting for ya.

I got the money now.

Shall we go inside?

You don't have to.

I got the release here.

What about a key? I want to take

the car out before you get here.

That's okay with me, but I don't

know about the cops in there.

Cops? Co... co... police?

They're waiting to grab you

the minute you get near the car.

Hope you can straighten things out, Bill.

If either one of you is Herbie Brown,

sounds like you're

headed for the electric chair.

I'll be seein' ya. Did you hear what he said?

If any one of us is Herbie

Brown, the electric chair.

That's the hot seat.

Wait a minute.

I'm Herbie Brown.

Oh, it's Collins. He's got

two plainclothesmen with him.

Now what can we do?

They've got to sleep sometime.

When they do we'll get that car.

Hey, they're asleep. Good.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Stop.

Be quiet and don't make any noise.

What are you doin' now? Talkin' to myself.

Don't talk so loud. I

gotta hear what I gotta say.

Shh. You guys go inside. I'll

stay here and be a lookout.

Who you gonna look out for? Myself.

Come on.

We'll push the racer onto the trailer

and pull it out with the tow car.

Don't make any noise.

Watch 'em. Make sure they don't wake up.

Okay.

What are you doing?

I'm going to give him a sedative.

Stop it.

But I mean I...

Slicker.

Slicker, Slicker.

Quiet, you wanna wake 'em up?

It's my little hand.

Quiet, quiet.
