There's some sort of problem

going on at the company,

and daddy is in

a real poo-poo mood.

Ok. I promise I'll hurry.

Ok. All right.

Thanks, guys.

Thanks a bunch.

Patty:
Move it, jerks!

Ha ha ha!

You guys don't think

she was just a tad

angry with us, do you?

Nah. Nah.

Oh, my God, you're real.

Ouch.

Jim, this is your wake-up call.

Continental breakfast.

This, um... Jim!

Wait a minute. St-stay there.

Stay there. No, no, no.

Don't move. Don't go anywhere.

Come on, Sanders! Hide.

Hide, ok? Hide.

Just hide. Hide.

George:
Open up... Now!

Jim Bob! Come on, Sanders!

Maybe he's on the throne.

Hi. Hi.

Hi. Hey.

What's going on?

You tell us.

I was just leaving.

I'm gonna go

meet up with Patty.

Yeah. We just saw her.

Great gal, not even remotely

upset about last night.

Oh, yeah? Terrific.

Well, listen, guys.

I'm in a bit of a hurry,

so do me a favor.

Why don't you walk me out, ok?

Come on.

Well, we came over to

help you clean up.

Is this open? No.

No. That's all right.

I got everything, anyway.

Oh, ok. Well, gee, we really

wanted to help you, Jim.

Maybe we can come back later.

No!

No! Wait, guys!

Where is it? Where's what?

I don't know. What?

Holmes, the bedroom.

Bravo, Watson.

The game is afoot.

I don't get it.

Neither do I.

I mean, what did you jerks

expect to find, huh?

You think that, um...

ha ha ha! Yes!

No, no, no, no. It's not what

you think it is, George.

Welcome home.

It's really, really important that

you listen to me right now, ok?

Our little stud souffle went

on a love frenzy last night.

It's not what you...

will you stop it?

George, please, it's really important

you listen to me right now, ok?

You're about to see something

that is simply gonna amaze you.

We know that's not

Patty, right, guys?

George, please.

I don't know whether I should go for

the year's supply of canned ham

or what's behind

curtain number 3.

George, I'm begging you.

It's important.

Curtain number 3. Canned ham.

Bob, I'm going for the curtain.

Yeah! Open that curtain! No!

Who is she?

I guess that's an angel.

Angel who?

Aah!

Just an angel.

Have not got time for this.

We got to get back there.

We never should've

left her alone.

You'll feel better after we

get you something to eat.

Rex, decoy.

George:
Big Jim, eat, eat.

You need all your strength

for the scam that...

Hi.

So, how you doing?

Fine. Yeah?

I'm excited, guys. This

doesn't happen every day.

This is big, don.

Grab those

peanut butter cookies for Rex.

Now listen. What do we know

about trademark and copyrights?

I'll call Wertheimer.

Wertheimer? Wertheimer?

He went to law school.

The thing about this, guys, is,

we have to move rapid, quick.

Once that wing

heals, she's gone.

I just want to make sure

we don't get ripped off.

Ripped off? We own

an angel, guys.

We do not own an angel.

Revenue deluxe...

motion pictures,

concert appearances...

I'm thinking out

loud here... radio,

record albums, television,

miniseries, man...

"angel, the ninth

wonder of the world."

I'm not gonna turn her into

some kind of sideshow freak.

I didn't even think

about sideshows.

Jim... Look. She's hurt, ok?

She's got to be cared for.

We got to find somebody...

hey, what's up? You're

supposed to be on decoy.

Yeah, well, she's on

the phone lining up

a couple of hot ones

for us tonight.

I can't believe I'm wasting

time with you maniacs.

I got to get back. I never should've

left her alone in the first place.

George, pay for this stuff.

If your family needs money... no!

Ever since the second grade, we've

done everything you wanted to

because up until now,

we haven't hurt anybody.

Think about it, George.

She's an angel.

She doesn't belong in a circus,

so if you don't want to help

me, then fine. No problem.

I'll take care of it myself.

See you later.

Ok. All right. Don't worry.

All this is gonna do

is make you heal faster.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You ok?

Cold, huh? Don't worry.

Just wrap this

around you like that.

See? All better, huh?

Is that better?

No. Ahem. No.

Can't do that, see?

Oh, no. Patty's father.

No.

I should just go over,

don't you think?

I thought so.

Just what I need...

another headache.

I'll be back with Patty

as soon as I can,

and then we'll figure out

what to do with you.

You, uh, keep warm

and don't let anybody see you.

No, no, no, no.

I'll be back very soon.

You'll be safe here, I promise.

There's nothing to worry about.

Aah!

Patty. Oh, listen.

I was just on my way over

to explain about this...

so, this is why you didn't

want me coming in before, huh?

Patty, listen. It's not

what you think it is.

She's not as girl.

She's an angel.

Oh, God, Jim.

It's true. I swear to God.

At least your friends

were honest with me.

What did they tell you?

Obviously, the truth.

Patty, wait.

You know they hate you.

I mean... what?

Get back inside.

Go on!

Oh, man, don't break

anything else.

Why me?

Well...

This must be the place.

Um...

Yeeeow!

Ok. You stay here, ok?

Man:
Yes?

Excuse me. Could I talk

to you for a minute?

Go around.

It's just take a second.

Other side, son. Ok.

Be right back,

I promise you, ok?

Now, what are your sins?

Now, there's no reason

to be afraid.

Tell me, when was

your last confession?

Confession of what?

Are you a catholic, son?

No. No, sir. I've never

been here before.

I just didn't know

where to take her.

Take who?

The angel I found. Hmm.

So anyways, so I

brought her here

figuring maybe you folks would

know what to do with her.

I can't take care of her, and I

don't want to see her exploited,

so what should I do?

Oh, say 10 hail Marys

and 8 our fathers

and make a good

act of contrition.

Wait. What do you mean? I don't

know what those things are.

Well, that's not my problem.

Go in peace.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Dios mio! Santa Maria!

Hey, hey.

Hey, come here.

It's me. Come on.

Oh, it's ok. It's all right.

Everything is fine.

Now, what's going on here?

Oh, sir, this is her.

See, she's the angel.

Now, whatever

you kids are up to,

a church is no place

for your pranks.

Now, you'll have to leave. No.

Listen. Let me take this off

and show you what she

really looks like.

If you don't leave, I'm gonna

have to call the police.

But where am I gonna take her?

Try the baptists.

Honey, I'm sure she's

just one of those girls

left over from

that party they had.

Lounging around in his blanket

until 5:
00 the next afternoon.

No. It is over between us.

No! Don't say that! Ow!

Oh! Ohh! I'm sorry.

Oh, honey...

We're gonna keep calling Jim

until we get to

the bottom of this.

Oh, mm...

I'm sure the tea

will help those.

This always happens

when I get upset. Oh...

Ben! Where's that tea?

Ben:
Here we are, ladies.

Sorry it took so long.

You'll love these

shortbread cookies, Patty.

I used twice the butter.

Just put it down over there.

Patty doesn't care at the moment

about twice the butter,
