I've onIy been foIIowing your instructions.

I'm sorry if...

She needs to be with other chiIdren.

Get in touch with

the Forest Grove SchooI right away.

Take care of aII the detaiIs.

- Yes, sir.

- (man) Mr Barry.

You wanted to Iisten to the changes

on your radio hour.

- The programme's on now.

- Oh, yes.

(fanfare on radio)

? B-a-r-r-y

? Why don't you buy a bar of Barry's?

? Every grocer carries Barry's

? You will find that Barry's little bubbles

? Make you kinda laugh

at your washing troubles

? Buy a bar of Barry's

? It's the berries, that's Barry's

? So run, don't waIk

? To the nearest exit

and find a bar of Barry's

And now the Barry baritone will sing

that new hit tune, ''When l'm With You''.

? Every street I waIk on becomes a Iovers Iane

? When I'm with you

? I can see the sun

though we're out in the rain

? When I'm with you

? To lose you would be tragic

? Here is my heart unfurled

? You have that certain magic

? You're the Seven Wonders of the World

? Snow is on the ground

but the Ieaves are on the trees

? When I'm with you

? Flowers sing a love song,

there's music in the breeze

? When l'm with you

? Ooh

? Please let me make this confession

? You are my magnifiicent obsession

? The world is all in rhyme, lovely one

? When l'm with you

(applause on radio)

You know, Daddy, this house wouIdn't be so

Ionesome if you'd stay home once in a whiIe.

If I stayed home aII the time,

there wouIdn't be any house.

Do you know, Daddy, I can sing that song,

and I've got my own words.

- Wanna hear them?

- Mm-hm.

? An ordinary day becomes a hoIiday

? When I'm with you

? I have Iots of toys but I don't wanna pIay

? When I'm with you

? Oh, Daddy, how I miss you

? You're busy aII your Iife

? I Iove to hug and kiss you

? Marry me and Iet me be your wife

? Every word I hear sounds Iike a IuIIaby

? When I'm with you

? Even funny spinach tastes Iike pumpkin pie

? When I'm with you

? Ooh

? In every dream I caress you

? And every night

I pray the Lord wiII bIess you

? The worId's a nursery rhyme, Daddy dear

? When I'm with you

Are you going to stay in schooI with me?

No, my dear.

I'm going to take a IittIe vacation.

- What's a vacation?

- It's a rest, dear.

Getting away from peopIe you've been with

and seeing new faces.

You reaIIy become

another person on a vacation.

- What person are you gonna be?

- Just another person.

- Is going to schooI a vacation?

- HardIy. Just the opposite.

You think CoIIins is strict,

but wait tiII you get to schooI.

There'II be no running to Woodward

or to your daddy.

You'II do just what you're toId.

I don't think I'm gonna Iike schooI.

- May I take Snoopy with me?

- No, my dear.

- You're not aIIowed to have dogs in schooI.

- No?

- No, indeed.

- That settIes it.

- AII right, darIing. We'd better get started.

- Come, my dear.

Goodbye, Snoopy.

Are they expecting you this evening?

I toId them we'd be out sometime this week.

You'd better wire them

and have a car meet you.

- I'II do it from the station.

- You're going to be very happy at schooI.

- Maybe.

- Maybe?

Sure you're going to be happy.

I'II be up and spend every weekend with you.

- Goodbye, sweetheart.

- Aren't you coming into the station with us?

I'm sorry. I can't. I'm Iate

for a business appointment aIready.

I'm aIways running away from you.

I'II make up for it Saturday and Sunday.

I'II spend every minute with you.

We'II have Iots of fun. Goodbye.

- Take good care of her, CoIIins.

- Yes, sir.

- What's this for?

- It weighs you for a penny.

- I wanna be weighed.

- WeII, I haven't a penny.

- I have a penny.

- AII right.

No, here.

On this side is your weight. 58 pounds.

And on this side is your fortune.

What does it say? What does it say?

It says you're going away on a Iong trip.

You're going to meet a Iot of strange peopIe.

What a smart machine.

Come, my dear.

Porter, I have to send a teIegram.

My purse. It's gone.

I must have dropped it.

Keep an eye on her. I'II be back in a minute.

Yes, ma'am.

- (screeching tyres)

- Look out, Iady!

(Collins screams)

Come on! Give her air!

- What's your name?

- Rufus Washington Jackson Lee.

- AII by yourseIf?

- (chuckles)

- My name is Betsy Ware.

- That's a mighty pretty name.

- Did you ever have a vacation?

- Oh, yes, missy. Lots and Iots of 'em.

- Are they fun?

- They are if you don't have too many.

I'II bet they're more fun than going to schooI.

I never had a vacation,

but I'm thinking about having one.

Look.

- Why don't you heIp your brother?

- Brother?

AII right, IittIe missy.

You just wait right here tiII I come back.

There was a Iady and IittIe girI with these.

They went away and didn't come back.

AII right.

- Has the woman been identified?

- No. No pocketbook, no Iaundry marks.

You'd better caII up the bureau of missing

persons and have a description sent out.

(hand organ playing ''Oh, My Goodness'')

It's Tony!

And his monkey!

Gee, that's a sweII hat.

I wish I couId have one Iike it.

- Here, take it.

- Oh, thanks.

- And you may have these, too.

- Thanks a Iot.

(speaks ltalian)

I know who you are. You're Tony.

That's right. Antonio is my middIe name.

I'm on my vacation.

Do you wanna come aIong?

You're very nice, IittIe bambina.

You go home to your mama.

- I have no mama.

- That's too bad.

Then go home to your papa.

- Say, what's your name?

- Betsy Ware.

I used to Iive in an orphanage,

but they were mean to me, awfuIIy mean.

- And now I'm on a vacation.

- Huh?

I'm on a vacation. To see new faces.

Your face doesn't Iook very new.

WeII, it's good enough for me. Goodbye.

Here comes Papa! Here comes Papa!

(children shout)

(they speak ltalian)

- Why you chase me for?

- I'm Betsy Ware.

I used to Iive in an orphanage,

but they were awfuI mean to me.

- And now I'm on a vacation.

- I know. You toId me that.

- And you no Iike my face.

- Yes, I do.

(speaks ltalian)

(Tony) Ma! Ma!

Who is she?

Mama, maybe she's hungry.

I go get her?

Come, you stay in my house tonight.

Eat the spaghetti. They're good.

Look, Iook. Like this. Look.

- Here.

- Thank you.

(speaks ltalian)

- I sneezed.

- Salute.

Salute.

- Don't I have to go to bed?

- What's the matter?

- You're sIeepy?

- You eat first.

I Iike it here.

So IittIe, and so sweet.

Maybe we keep her. Yes?

Are you crazy? What you want to do?

You want to go to jaiI for the kidnap?

Five chiIdren you have aIready.

Six with the monkey.

AII right. Then I take her

to the poIiceman in the morning.

(speaks ltalian)

Come, bambina.

(speaks ltalian)

(speaks ltalian)

(whispers in ltalian)

- So fast she sIeeps.

- Maybe we'II keep her, huh?

(? ''Oh, My Goodness'' on hand organ)

Mama, come on! Get up!

(music and laughter continues)

This music comes in handy for rehearsing.

- Rehearsing for what?

- Somebody may ask us to pIay a benefit.

Don't forget - we got another

radio audition tomorrow.
