Herbie Rides Again Page #4

going to Missouri.

Nicole spoke to me.

Mr. Whitfield

will help us fight his uncle.

Wonderful! You must stay for dinner.

I've already invited him.

- Take those to the kitchen.

- Yeah, thank you.

What a fine young man!

You look so right together.

If there's anything I can do...

There is one thing, Grandma.

Just let nature take its course.

Oh, yes, dear. I wouldn't want

to interfere, not for anything.

Oh...

We'll want some more broccoli.

Can you and Willoughby get some?

Sure.

And you should drive down

to the beach afterwards.

- Grandma!

- It's a beautiful day.

We'll just go get some broccoli.

Yes, dear. Of course.

I won't say another word, Herbie.

There's nothing I can do.

Of course, I can't help it if you

happen to have a mind of your own.

Can I?

I should have said

that I don't like broccoli.

Herbie, where are you going?

The young lady and gentleman

have turned to the north.

It seems they're not immediately

returning to the firehouse.

See that they don't.

Do anything you have to.

But don't let them return

until after dark. You read me?

Perfectly, sir.

Grandma put him up to this!

- Where's he taking us?

- I don't know, but I could guess.

Pardon me, sir. Is this

the only road from the beach?

Yep.

Would you care, sir, to earn $50?

Don't mind.

We wish you to obstruct the road

from the beach for two hours.

My employer plans

a surprise party...

Don't explain,

just give me the money.

It's very romantic here,

don't you think?

That's the first time

I've heard the word ''romantic''

in a real conversation.

I hope I wasn't being too forward.

But it is romantic.

I think that's what Grandma

had in mind.

She always thought the Pacific Ocean

very romantic.

Captain Steinmetz proposed to her

on the beach, 50 years ago.

I'm sorry I punched you

the first time I met you.

That's OK.

And it wasn't ladylike

to hit you with a boiled lobster.

- It's OK.

- You can hit me back, if you want.

That isn't exactly

what I had in mind.

Herbie!

It's time we got back.

Herbie, c'mon!

Leave that seagull alone!

Herbie!

I wish that car would learn

to mind. Herbie, please!

Herbie!

Heel, Herbie.

See? Just needs a firm hand.

You know, Willoughby,

sometimes you really surprise me.

What's happening?

Sorry, sir. My rear axle's frozen.

- But how are we...?

- Sorry.

No, Herbie!

Well, here we are.

Very quietly and very quickly

pull your hand back inside.

- Why?

- We've got company.

That's ridiculous! Why would a shark

follow a Volkswagen?

Because he thinks the same thing

I do. We're going to sink.

Excuse me, do you know

the way to San Francisco?

Yeah, man. Up the beach road,

first left, second right.

Thank you.

Old Number 22. It's gone.

What?

They came with a big truck.

Everything's gone.

Who did it?

It said on the truck

Alonzo Hawk Van & Storage.

Have you never

jimmied a lock before?

- No. It's not a hobby of mine.

- Hurry. We can't just stand here.

Good for Herbie!

Halt! You have been detected

by electronic surveillance.

You will be surrounded by agents

of the Alonzo Hawk Security.

Touch nothing in this warehouse,

or you will be prosecuted.

Don't talk to me like that!

I want my things and I'll get them!

- I think that's a recording.

- I don't care!

Let's find your things

before somebody gets here.

Touch nothing in this warehouse,

or you will be prosecuted.

Your things aren't here...

Alright, hold it!

OK, get your hands up!

Don't get fresh with me, young man.

Watch it. She's the ringleader.

C'mon, Grandma, move it.

Put your hands up!

I most certainly will not.

If you say please,

I might consider it.

Alright. Please.

There, you see?

That wasn't so difficult after all.

If you'd mind your manners,

life would be easier for all of us.

Would you be good enough

to tell me just exactly

what you are doing with my furniture?

How do we know, lady?

All I can tell you is that nothing

goes out without Mr. Hawk's OK.

Look out, Smitty! Run!

There's some more! Out of the way!

We're cut off! How are we

gonna get out of here?

You know, Smitty, I don't think

Mr. Hawk will happy about this.

Evening, Mother.

Ain't you a mite old

to be a stewardess?

Been a lot of changes since the day

I came to visit this town.

Barnsdorf, stop worrying

about your digging equipment.

You're paying me 80 grand a day.

Stop bothering...

I have broken

the old lady's spirit. Yeah.

I've taken all her furniture.

She's sitting in an empty firehouse

ready to listen to reason.

I guarantee you can start digging

first thing Monday morning.

Yeah?

What?

Yes, sir. They got away

with everything.

Call every unit

of the Mobile Security Force.

We'll nail them to the wall!

Stop at the top. We'll figure

how to get down the other side.

Right.

I was saying, little lady...

..I was doing fine till I got into

that sheep-dip you call liquor

in this town.

My name is Judson.

Got a little cow ranch

a few hundred miles north of here.

Been alone with those cows

for over 40 years,

so I thought I'd get to town

and stir up a little excitement.

Might be my last opportunity.

I'll get a rope

and tie us up nice and snug.

Oh, no. Looks like Uncle Alonzo!

No, Herbie, don't do it!

Oh!

After him!

Faster, faster!

Herbie, now you have

got us in a mess.

Now, Herbie, stop this minute!

Hey, watch out!

Look what you done to my pretzels!

Mrs.. Steinmetz?

Mrs.. Steinmetz, put on the brake!

You're a fine-looking woman.

You married?

No, the Captain's been gone

many years. There he is.

Captain Steinmetz. Hook and ladder

number 2 7, City of San Francisco.

A fine gentleman.

Nice picture. You carry it

around with you everywhere?

Mrs.. Steinmetz! Use the handbrake!

Are you OK?

I declare, little lady,

you're a sight to make

this country boy's heart flutter.

Don't be silly. I'm much too old.

The way I figure it, you're

just about coming into your prime.

Can't that thing play something

with more pep?

How nice to see people

dressing up for parties again.

Was that anyone we know?

I think these cars go a lot faster

than when I was a young fella.

You can't stop progress.

Look at that!

Herbie, you've got to help us.

Steady, Herbie.

C'mon, c'mon, move closer!

Hurry, we're running out of street!

Closer. A little more.

Go on, jump!

Well, here's where I get off.

Thanks for the ride, little lady.

Appreciate it.

Sure like to cross trails

with you again, sometime.

Are you alright, Grandma?

Of course. I just met

the most interesting man.

Good morning, Grandma. Sleep well?

Not a wink. I suddenly realized

the trouble Alonzo Hawk gives me.

I'm going to his office

to give him a piece of my mind.

Oh, no, you don't.

I have to go. Bye-bye, Grandma.

And please,

don't do anything foolish.

Willoughby, I know Grandma.

I think she's up to something.

I'll keep her out of mischief.

Well, you better, or else

I'll get tough again. Bye.

Bye.

- Where are you going?

- To see Mr. Hawk.
