at your wife as she looks now.

Wait!

I'll give it to you.

Don't give in to them, Stephen.

Let them do anything they like.

Keep a tight grip on that dog.

If he gets away, it may tip them off.

Now, we grab those guards off quietly

So we can get inside

and surprise the others.

And we don't want any

innocent people getting hurt.

Now, take the east side.

What do you want me to do?

You better stay here

so you won't get hurt.

What do you mean?! I

can take care of myself!

Madam, I saw the dog outside.

Is the blind man loose?

No, Hansen took him to the basement.

Get Hansen. I want him up here.

Yes, ma'am.

The police.

Ooh!

Mac! It's you!

Ahh, this is getting kind of monotonous.

Get the car, Marty. These

people are going to the airport.

They're going to Washington.

Right

- The colonel's jeep, coming up.

You sure you won't come

along, Barbara? Unh-Unh.

Aren't you going, Barbara?

No, uncle Mac.

A new man has come into my life,

And I'm going to stay here in New York

To see what it is about

him that intrigues me so.

Ohh. Well, what's he like?

Oh, he's big and strong,

and he's the kind of a man

That tells women what to

do and makes them like it.

In fact, he told me

that if I didn't behave,

He'd paddle my canoe, and he'll do it.

Well, now you're being selective.

Come on, let's get these elderly

people down to the airport.

Here we go!

After that, we'll do the town.

Not tonight, old boy.

You're on your own tonight, fellas.

Just so one of you stays

home and watch the place.

Yes, sir.

Well, I don't know about you, dog,

But me, personally,

I'm off to the Harlem

squash and tennis club

To meet my dream gal.

You know, what am I

telling you this for?

Why, that's romance.

You wouldn't know nothing about that.

Well, I'm off. You stay

here and watch the house.

Why, you wolf!

Guy Trosper

Guy Trosper (March 27, 1911 – December 19, 1963) was an American screenwriter. He came to prominence in Hollywood because of his scripts for two baseball movies: The Stratton Story in 1949, a big hit for James Stewart, and The Pride of St. Louis in 1952, for which he received an Academy Award nomination. This led him into a highly fertile creative period, during which he wrote the screenplays for Elvis Presley's breakout hit Jailhouse Rock in 1957, the complex western One-Eyed Jacks in 1961, and Birdman of Alcatraz in 1962, which he also produced. Trosper's last screenplay before his premature death was an adaptation of John le Carré's 1963 novel The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. The film was released in 1965; Trosper (posthumously) and co-writer Paul Dehn received a 1966 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America, for Best Motion Picture Screenplay. more…
