And we predct t's gonna run

For years and years and years

For those of you who haven't seen it

And we know you'll find them

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

Mrs. Moran.

- Mrs. Moran, Mr. Moran.

- What?

There was a call from your apartment.

The operator sounded excited.

- Who was it? What'd they say?

- It was something about the baby.

- The baby?

- Baby? Oh, Jack.

See if you can get Selma.

I'll change right away.

ANNOUNCER:
... prodly presents Ktty

and Jack Moran each week at ths hour....

SELMA:
I done my best, Miss Kitty.

KITTY:
The baby.

SELMA:

I done my best.

Ain't no use going in there.

The baby ain't there.

Ain't nobody there.

Where is she?

Where is the baby?

- They come and taken her away.

- Who? Who took her?

Those folks that says

the baby was theirs.

Oh, no.

Now, stop carrying on

and tell us what happened.

Well, I was sitting here with the baby

in my lap listening to the radio...

...when the lady

and two gentlemen come in.

And one of them said

the baby was his...

...and he want his

flesh and blood back.

And the other one said he was a lawyer,

and if I didn't give the baby back...

- ... they'd call the police.

- No.

Oh, Miss Kitty, I tried to stop them.

I told them that nobody

would touch that baby...

...leastways you said so.

But they wouldn't pay me no mind.

They just took her

right out of my arms.

They can't, Jack, they can't.

It's my baby.

Oh, Janet, they can't, they can't.

I want my baby.

- I'm going to find my baby.

JACK:
Kitty.

There must be some way.

There's no way I know of

at the moment, Mrs. Moran.

Tomorrow we'll see what we can do,

but you haven't a chance.

But the mother gave us the baby.

We paid all the expenses

and she signed the papers.

I understand, but there's

a definite procedure prescribed...

...for adoption of children

in this state.

They must come either through

definitely established adoption homes...

...or with the sanction of the courts.

You'll find that

the courts bend backwards...

...to return a child

to its natural parents.

Well, I'm sorry we got you up so late.

We didn't know where to turn.

That's unimportant.

I'm just sorry I can't help.

Let's go, dear.

LAWYER:
Good night.

KITTY:
Good night.

LAWYER:
Good night.

JACK:
Good night. Thank you.

[SOBBING]

That's fine. Thank you, Gladys.

- If you need me, I'll be in the wings.

- I'll holler.

- Are you sure you're all right?

- I'll be all right, thank you.

[DOOR OPENS]

- Ready?

- In a minute.

[KNOCKING]

- Yes?

- Excuse me, Mr. Moran...

...but a couple of ladies are here.

- We can't see anyone until after.

- This will take only a moment.

Why do you want to see us?

I've had you on my conscience...

...and I can't afford a bad conscience.

We'd rather not discuss it.

She only wants to say we have

another baby for you, Mrs. Moran.

- I'll do the talking, Miss Gilbert.

- Sorry.

- I brought along all the necessary papers.

- We don't want another baby.

- What's that?

KITTY:
We had a baby. We loved it.

It's gone.

We can't substitute just any baby.

I know all about that.

I've kept my eye on you.

But you'll feel differently

when you see this boy.

PAGE:
Five minutes.

JACK:
We'll be right there.

- We appreciate your offer, but...

- I acted hastily when I took your baby.

I have no false pride

about when I'm wrong.

- Yes. Well, thank you...

- Now, now, you're acting hastily.

That I can't permit.

I shan't leave

until you sign these papers.

Here, you may use my pen.

- Well, congratulations.

- Oh, darling, such wonderful news.

- I knew it would work out somehow.

- Wait. Let's not rush.

- We haven't decided if we want this.

- What do you mean?

- Got no choice.

- It's delivered.

- What?

- What? Delivered what?

The baby, of course, what else? The

father's run off. Isn't that wonderful?

I'm naming him

as Father of the Year.

There'll be no slip-up this time,

I guarantee it.

Our own lawyer talked to the mother.

- Where is she? Where's the baby?

- With Selma, in the lap of luxury.

JANET:
We wanted to bring her here, but...

- Darling, we've got her back.

Well, honey, it looks

like we got two babies back.

Two?

Come on, you two,

we're waiting for you.

All right. Just a second.

You better get dressed.

You haven't given your answer yet.

Do you want the baby?

Oh, of course we do.

We want them both.

Thank you, Mrs. Johnston,

Miss Gilbert, Janet...

- Is everybody going crazy around here?

- Walter.

Get dressed. The rest of you go.

We've gotta do a show.

I'm sorry to rush you,

but you know how it is.

Thank you, Walter.

Kitty?

- What's the matter, huh?

- I don't know.

- My head feels funny.

- I'll get you a glass of water.

No, I'll be all right.

- Think I'd better get Gloria ready?

- No, not that, I'll be fine.

- I'm just dizzy, that's all.

- I guess it's just all this excitement, huh?

- Now, here, let me help you with that.

- I'll make it, all right.
