Mighty Joe Young Page #5

There's police there.

I've got a plan.

It will take split-second timing.

We've all gotta work together.

Now, listen...

Hello, Moran.

Just came down to take my last look

at poor old Joe.

Okay by me.

Just keep that girl out of here.

They'll be here to shoot him in a minute.

Too bad.

I got a lot of money tied up in you.

Goodbye, Joe.

I should have left you in Africa,

where you belong.

The old heart. Help me.

Help.

Upstairs. My office.

Easy, now. Easy, now.

You'll be all right.

My office.

- My medicine.

- Take it easy, I've got you.

Good evening, O'Hara.

What's the matter, Moran?

- Why aren't you guarding the ape?

- He took sick. I had to help him.

- My heart. Sit down.

- No thanks.

- Here's the court order. We'll do the job.

- No, don't go. Wait.

- I got a date.

- I haven't read the court order.

Nothing wrong with it.

- You coming?

- No, my heart. The strain.

- Come on.

- Let's go this way. It's shorter.

This won't take long.

Getting kind of careless,

aren't you, Moran?

Hey, he's gone!

Hurry, Joe, get in.

Hey, you, stop!

They got into a white van.

Get to a phone! O'Hara's office.

Schultz wants you up in my office.

Right in here.

O'Hara!

Police headquarters.

Operator. Police headquarters.

Operator, wake up! Wake up!

Schultz, here's a tip-off.

A map of Las Vegas.

- They're getting out of state.

- Here I am.

- O'Hara said you wanted me.

- O'Hara?

Operator. Oper-

- I'll get that guy! Get to a phone.

- Get to a phone.

O'Hara ought to catch up along here

somewhere. Watch out for him.

Hey, take a look at this.

Get to a phone.

Turn in a general alarm.

Hold it. I hope the kids made it.

I'll take a look.

Here they come.

So long, Windy. Be seeing you.

- Step on it, Gregg.

- I gotta get some air in that front tire.

Give us some air in the left front.

Got a slow leak.

- You want I should change your wheel?

- No, I'm in a hurry.

Yeah, in a big white van,

probably heading for Las Vegas.

Calling all cars. Escaped gorilla

in large white van headed north.

Animal very dangerous. Shoot on sight.

Fine, it worked.

They think we're headed north.

- What happened? What was that?

- I don't know, but Joe's all right.

- Okay, Schultz, we go north, huh?

- Those roads are well covered.

That map may be one of O'Hara's tricks.

We go south.

- What you got?

- One for the tank, sarge...

...and has he got the horrors.

Running up and down the road,

yelling like a banshee.

Take him back.

I'll book him when he's sober.

Now, hold on. That's my old man's lingo.

Get me headquarters.

Captain O'Toole?

This is Obrinski.

Yeah, we just got a report on the gorilla.

This is the real thing.

Calling all cars. Escaped gorilla

reported at service station...

...Duane and Tilford.

Hey, that's not far from here.

Repeat. Escaped gorilla reported

at service station, Duane and Tilford.

They got us spotted.

They know we're headed south.

What will we do?

Look out!

What do you think you're doing?

Wanna get us all killed?

- Who you yelling at?

- Get off of the road.

You asked for it.

- I'll move the truck.

- Jill, get Joe out.

- What's the idea?

- How much gas has he got?

Oh, I get it. Half a tank.

- Help Jill.

- Right.

- Hey, you seen a big white van?

- Sure did.

- There's something funny about it.

- Going south?

- Yeah.

- That's it.

Hurry, Joe. Hurry!

Get in, Joe. Get in.

Take that road.

It's the back way to the harbor.

I'll see you at the ship.

I hope so.

There it is.

- O'Hara. What are you doing here?

- Was I going too fast?

Come out of there. You thought

you'd put one over on me, didn't you?

This is a great indignity.

I demand an explanation.

- Shut up. Open those doors.

- Wait! What are you going to do?

- Shoot that gorilla.

- It's empty.

- Don't open it.

- Get out!

Don't open it. You'll be sorry.

You'll be sorry. You'll get hurt.

Ready, boys? Open the door.

Hey, where's my truck?

Somebody stole my truck.

You smart aleck.

You got the gorilla in a truck.

- What you talking about?

- Where are they?

- Not your business.

- Come!

- Want him too?

- For what?

O'Hara, you're obstructing justice.

Where's that gorilla?

You better start talking, O'Hara.

- I think I'm gonna have a heart attack.

- Fine, have it in there.

Turn around. Back to that crossroad.

That's where they went.

I wonder how long Mr. O'Hara

can hold them.

I don't know,

but we better get off this road.

I wonder where that fool

thinks he's going.

Hang on!

Get out, Joe.

Come on, Joe, push!

Like this, Joe. Push!

- A truck just went down there.

- That must be it.

Push, Joe! Push!

Here they come.

There's the gorilla. Shoot!

Get in, Joe!

- No, you'll hit the girl!

- Get the tires!

- Come on, you, push!

- I will not.

Go in.

Two more. Two more children upstairs.

Jill!

Jill!

Children, where are you?

Jill!

Gregg!

Gregg!

Get to the roof.

Joe!

Joe!

Joe! Joe!

Joe, in here.

Joe!

Gregg!

Joe!

Joe!

Joe!

Look!

Go back, Joe. Go up.

There's a baby up there, Joe.

Go up, Joe. Joe, go up.

My poor Joe.

It's all right, kid. There's nobody

in the worid gonna shoot Joe now.

No, no, no. It isn't big enough.

Max O'Hara, I didn't know

you were back in New York.

Read the paper.

I've been back for months.

Hi, Max. I got 200 giris for you to look at.

They'll be at the pool tomorrow, 10:00.

- They all gotta swim like fish.

- Sure.

It'll be the greatest water show.

Singers, dancers, jugglers, acrobats...

- ...all in the water.

- I can get you a great act.

- It could work on a raft.

- What?

- Monkeys.

- Nix. Cut it out, will you? See you later.

- Hey, what is this?

- I got a big surprise for you, Maxie.

What is it? Hurry it up.

I got a million things to do.

You've got time for this.

Wait till you see it.

Hey.

Look at that.

The kids told me to spring it on you.

Crawford took it.

He went up there to visit them.

Hi, Jill.

Hello, Max.

Hey, they said, "Hello, Max."

And they lived happily ever after.

I sure hope so.

They will. They're back home

where they belong.
