And those cheeks.

We'd have to start her out on a diet.

Let me hold her.

KITTY:
There we are.

All done. All done now, honey.

Okay. Well, come on.

Come on. Oh, it's getting

to be such a big girl...

...such a big girl, such a big girl.

Oh, I got lipstick all over you.

Look at that face.

[SINGING] Bay face

You've got the cutest lttle baby...

Look at the baby.

See the pretty baby? See?

See the pretty baby?

Let's brush your hair now.

There.

Look at that thing. See?

- It's getting late.

- I'm all ready except my coat and hat.

- How's Her Highness?

- Oh, she's wonderful.

- Say, "Hi, Daddy. "

- Want a bite?

Oh, stop.

I'll bet Mr. Milton will like it.

Watch this new trick.

Hey, Milt. Catch, now.

- What's the matter with him?

- Milton?

He's pouting.

I think he's jealous.

I'll take him to the park

and introduce him to some lady dogs...

...to get his mind off his troubles.

Ah, Mrs. Bates. Ravishing as ever.

- What are you doing, Mrs. Moran?

- Playing with the baby.

Well, put her down, please.

- Oh, I'm not hurting her.

- You know the rules.

- Was that dog in here again?

- For a little while.

I've told you repeatedly

to keep him out.

I don't like dogs around babies.

He wasn't anywhere near her.

- Also, you haven't your mask on.

- I forgot it.

You don't consider germs

a danger to your child?

I said, I forgot it.

- I see you've changed her too.

- She was wet.

BATES:
Well, of course, you're

her mother. If you wanna spoil her...

And I think she's hungry.

She was crying.

Her next feeding's in half an hour.

My mother had seven children.

When they were hungry, she fed them.

- Times have changed.

- Mothers haven't.

Do you want your child to grow up

to be a useless, selfish individual?

- Spoiled and...

- A little love never spoiled anybody.

I might as well not have a baby.

I can't touch her...

...I can't feed her, I can't kiss her,

I can't change her.

Before long,

I won't even be able to look at her.

We've been all through this before,

Mrs. Moran...

...and obviously

you and I don't see eye to eye.

We certainly don't.

Better step on it.

It's getting late.

- What's the matter with you?

- Oh, that woman.

- Again?

SELMA:
Is it all right for me to go now?

- Yes, of course.

- Oh, thank you. Good night, Mr. Jack.

- Where are you going all dressed up?

- You forgot, Mr. Jack?

This is my birthday.

I'm going to a party.

- Well, congratulations. How old are you?

- Thirty-nine.

- You too?

- Yes, sir.

Wait a minute.

- You're fired.

- What?

You heard me, you're fired.

I've had about all I can stand.

Now, get your things

and leave right now.

- Oh, very well, I shall.

- Good.

- To the showers, Butch.

- My check, please?

I'll send you your check

in the morning. Just go.

- I was only trying to do my duty.

- Get out.

Don't be hard on her.

Maybe she's good to her mother.

She never had a mother. She's part

of the rock left over from Grant's Tomb.

[BABY COOING]

JACK:
Well, come on, kiss Her Majesty

good night, let's go.

- Who's gonna stay with the baby?

- What a time to think of that.

I couldn't stand that woman

one more minute.

- I can catch Selma.

- On her birthday?

- Well, how about a sitter?

- I wouldn't know who to call anyway.

I'll have to ask Mule Face

to come back and stay until morning.

No, no, no,

I wouldn't ask her to do anything.

- I'll stay with the baby.

- You can't do that.

- We've got a show to do.

- Tell them I have a cold.

Gloria can take my place.

She knows the routines.

Gloria? Who wants Gloria?

No, you've got to do it.

It's no great tragedy if I miss

a broadcast. Lots of people miss shows.

- If you'd only kept your mouth shut.

- Go and telephone Gloria.

She's been hoping I'd break a leg

or something. Go on.

All right, but I think

you're taking an awful chance.

That Gloria's kind of sexy, you know.

- I might fall for her.

- Oh, go on.

Welcome back. Daddy-o

Hey. Sleeping Beauty.

Look out, Milt.

KITTY:
Oh, who is it?

- It's the milkman. Who'd you expect?

Four quarts and

a pound of butter, dear.

- Why are you sleeping out here?

- I'm scared of the dark.

How'd the show go?

- Well, didn't you see it?

- No, I was pretty busy with the baby.

She kept crying

and she seemed restless.

- How do you think it went?

- Not bad.

And Gloria?

Well, she isn't you.

It's a good thing you said that.

Come on, let's hit the sack.

Jack, sit down a minute, huh?

Would you mind very much if we didn't

get another nurse right away?

Well, you can't take care

of a baby by yourself.

- What do you know about them?

- Nothing, that's why I wanna try it.

It was so fun, being able

to pick her up whenever I wanted to...

...and change her whether she needed it

or not, kiss her whenever I liked.

I'm a new woman.

I just can't wait for Mother's Day.

- And the show?

- I think Gloria's amply demonstrated...

Well, Mr. Carroll

might think differently.

After all, he hired you and me,

not Gloria.

You can fix it.

You're a genius, remember?

- You know what you need? A new nurse.

- Just for a while? I'll give you a kiss.

- Okay?

- You're a hussy.

Of course, you realize

if you ever get the idea...

...that Gloria's really as good as I am,
