Dick Tracy Page #7

Boys, we're back in business!

Maybe I'll run for mayor myself.

Yesterday it seemed the world|was about to end, didn't it

Looked as though we|wouldn't last out the year

Yesterday, disaster|waited around the bend

Well, my friend, spring is here

Back in business|and ain't it grand

Let the good times roll

Yesterday things were out of hand

Now they're under control

Bye-bye, blues|So long, adversity

Happiness, hello, hello, hello

Keep the status quo

Permanently so

Back again like a boomerang

Same old stand, same old gang

Back in business with a bang

Let the good times roll

Back in business, and ain't it grand

Let the good times roll

Back to normal, back to usual

Let the fun resume

No more doom and gloom

No more bust, just boom

Back in business, and overnight

In demand|Well, all right

Business is just dynamite

Let the good times roll

Tracy didn't do it, Chief.|I know he didn't do it.

Well, you did the right thing|to call me, Kid.

Tracy's in real bad shape about Tess.

She's still missing,|and we haven't a clue.

It looks like a kidnapping,|but nobody's asked for a ransom.

- Tracy's the only one who can find her.|- Judge said, "No bail."

He didn't do it, Chief.|He didn't do it.

Why would somebody kidnap Tess|and not even ask for a ransom?

If I can just get back|on that street--

I'll leave you two alone for a minute.|It'll be anytime now.

The state police will be comin'|to transfer you from the city jail|to the county jail in a little while.

How's the food?

Good.

- How's the food at the orphanage?|- It's good.

- It'll be anytime now.|- All right, Chief.

What a New Year's Eve, huh?

I got my permanent certificate.

But I thought you-- I thought|you had to pick a name, didn't--

- I did.|- But--

If it's all right with you.

It's all right with me.

It is.

Tess, I hope you like...

being alone with me.

Happy New Year.

- Here. Let me get that.|- Okay. It's okay.

- Sorry, Tracy.|- Happy New Year, Tracy.|- Happy New Year, Tracy.

- What are you two doing here?|- It's a long trip to county jail.

I'd say it would take|at least eight hours to get there.

All right, boys. Call headquarters. Get|'em to send a car to 38th and Central.

And tell 'em there's something|I want 'em to bring.

Hello, Mumbles! Who set me up, huh?

- I don't know, I don't know.|- Look!|- I'm looking at you.

Talk, you cockroach! Talk! Huh? Huh?

Okay, Pat.

Look.

Care for some water, Mumbles, huh?

This is Brandon speaking.|Who's calling?

Do you want to put Big Boy in jail?

- Yes?|- He's kidnapped Tess Trueheart.

- Go to 38th and Grand.|- Now, wait a minute.

- Who is this?|- Wait for a call.|- Hello? Hello--

- Joe!|- Yes, sir?|- Get my car.

-Keep an eye on the kid till I get back.|-Right, Chief.

You don't want to tell me|who set me up, huh?

You want Big Boy to hear that?

What do you think, Mumbles?

Big Boy did it.|Big Boy did it.

Big Boy did it.|Big Boy did it.

I'm innocent. I'm innocent.

Okay, Sam, let's take this|and play it for Big Boy.

Uh, wait. Wait a minute.|Uh, uh, uh, wait.

Big Boy paid him|to get you out of the way.

Why would somebody kidnap Tess|and not even ask for a ransom?

So what do we do? Grab 88 Keys|or go straight for Big Boy?

Yeah, Tracy, what do we do?|Grab 88 Keys or go straight for Big Boy?

Is the enemy of my enemy my friend,|or the enemy of my friend my enemy?

- What?|- Or the enemy of my enemy my enemy?

- What did he say?|- The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.

He said the enemy|of his enemy is his enemy.

Oh.

Caprice speaking. Who is this?

How long since you took a look|in your attic, Big Boy?

Who is this?

Better take a look around upstairs.|Something's fishy.

Okay, Sam, you take the front.

- We're going to the roof.|- Tracy, why are we going to the roof?

I don't know.|It seems like a good place to hide.

Can you get through|to Chief Brandon?

Big Boy, I think you ought|with come with me, quick.

Tracy, why are we going to the roof?

This is Chief Brandon.

Jumpin' Jiminy, Tracy.|That's Tess!

- Break that lock.|- Okay, Tracy. Okay. Lemme just--

- What's she doing here?|- It won't budge, Tracy.

- What is this?|- It's Tracy's dame!

- What's she doin' here?|How'd she-- How'd she get in here?|- Tracy!

Untie her! Come on! We gotta|get outta here! Untie her. Let's go!

- Get her outta here!|- Don't shoot.

It's a frame--|It's a frame-up!

Somebody tried to make it look|like we kidnapped her!

It's a federal offence!|Come on! Come on!

- I'm okay, Tracy!|- That's kidnapping, Big Boy!

It's a federal offence!

Things are not always what they seem.|You're gonna pay for this.

- Easy!|- Hey, anybody shoots,|I shoot you, Sweet Pea! Come on!

Tracy, what's going on?|Did you hurt yourself?

I gotta figure|a way out of here, Pat.

Tracy, are you okay?

Got my diamonds

Got my yacht

Got a guy I adore

I'm so happy with what I got

I want more

No way out of this place.

You can't find a trapdoor|or a panel that moves or something?

I'm looking, Pat.|The ceiling must be 20 feet high.

Mathematician

All I know is addition

What are you doing down there?

Tracy, what are you doing down there?

Hey, boss,|why are we surrounded by cops?

- Cops?|- A billion of 'em!|- This is it! Burn the records!

Lock all the doors!|This is your fault.

They're forcing me to use you|as a hostage. Break out the guns!

Geez, boss. Tracy-- Tracy's girl?

Someone set us up. They're gonna|get us on a kidnapping rap.

- Gimme a tommy.|- All of us! We gotta get outta here.|- Get outta my way.

- Get outta my way!|- I like Tracy.

- I had a meeting with him once.|Did he tell you?|- Come on, you.

- Let me tell you. I may just|put a bullet through your head.|- Let's go!

- What do you weigh, Pat?|- I don't know. About 195, 196,|something like that.

- How much?|- Two-ten.

I find counting a bore

Keep the number mounting|Your accountant does the counting

More, more

The only way to get into this joint,|Chief, is to bust our way in.

- Jump.|- What?

- Jump.|- Jump?

- Music too|- Keep your mouth shut, woman!

- You don't say nothing to nobody.|- Just as much

- You may think they got us surrounded,|- As before|- but I'm gettin' out of this.

- I've got my guy and my sky of blue|- Watch it. Move it, woman!

Now, however, I own the view

Come on. Just jump.

All right. This is it.

Come out with your hands|over your head.

Them coppers are never gonna take me|alive. We're making a break for it.

Come out with your hands|over your heads.

This is it. The jig is up!

One is fun, why not two

And if you like two|you might as well have four

And if you like four|why not a few

Why not a slew more

Come on, let's go!|ln the car! ln the car! Now!

Listen, you guys. When I hit|my horn, that's the signal to go.

Okay, Big Boy.|Let's give it to 'em, boys!

You gotta tell 'em everything.|They crave leadership.

- You're under arrest.|- Chief.|- If you--

- Look at him. What's he doing up there?|- Tracy!

If you've got a little|why not a lot
