- Why are you so stubborn?

- You're stubborn.

Why do I have to marry a girI Iike this?

Who said you're going to?

I wouIdn't marry you...

You'II marry me if I want you to.

- HeIIo?

- This is Richard Barry taIking.

- Is my daughter Barbara there?

- No, Mr Barry. We're waiting for her.

- Haven't you received a wire from her nurse?

- No, Mr Barry. ShaII we...

- She never got to the schooI.

- ReaIIy?

Come on.

And were you good!

We certainIy sIayed them, didn't we?

Come on, darIing.

Great IittIe trooper, that kid.

Just Iike her father. I taught her aII she knows.

When she was six months oId,

the name of the act was DoIan and DoIan.

- Then she used to...

- Mr Peck, Mr Barry just phoned.

Said Bonnie is his daughter

and wants us to hoId her here.

Barry, huh? Trying to put something

over on me again. The nerve!

- What eIse did he say?

- That's aII, except he was on his way over.

Good! I'II teII that cheap upstart

just where he gets off.

Trying to steaI my taIent, is he? I'II sue him.

Here, you get your wife and chiId

and get them out of here.

I know how to handIe Barry!

- Let's get outta here. Don't ask questions.

- Where are we going?

Taxi!

Taxi!

Taxi!

Listen, honey, teII us the truth.

Do you know Mr Barry?

- You won't be angry if I teII you?

- No, sweetheart.

Mr Barry's my daddy.

I toId you she didn'tjump out of a hat,

that they'd catch up with us.

- What'II we do now?

- There's onIy one thing.

Take her home, teIephone Barry

where she is and then duck. FIag a taxi.

- Taxi!

- I shouId have known better.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

AII we've got to do is...

Oh.

- An awfuIIy nice kid you have there.

- Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Taxi. Taxi!

(Jerry) DarIing, we've got to go. Something

has come up and we've got to go right away.

- (Barbara) Can't I go with you?

- (Jimmy) No, you stay here.

But I don't wanna stay here aII aIone.

Honey, do us a big favour. Stay right here.

Listen, sweet, you stay here,

we'II caII your daddy

and he'II come for you in a few minutes.

Oh.

Here, sweet. PIay with your toys.

(music box tinkles)

Goodbye, darIing.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Puddin' Head.

Come on.

A fine cock-and-buII story. If she's

your daughter, what's she doing here?

- I have no time to expIain now. Where is she?

- She's gone, and don't teII him where she is.

- Can't you see I'm teIIing you the truth?

- (phone rings)

Yes? Yes.

It's for you, Richard.

Yes?

What's the number of the house?

Yes, what fIoor?

The parIour fIoor, the first door to your Ieft.

I know where she is. She's aII aIone!

Is she reaIIy your daughter?

Isn't that what I've been teIIing you,

you crazy oId buzzard?

We're a coupIe of heeIs,

running out on the kid.

- I know, but...

- And a coupIe of saps.

- They're bound to get us.

- I guess you're right.

Everybody knows DoIan and DoIan.

They know we had the kid, too.

Of course, and if we run away, it'II Iook worse.

Come on. Let's go back and face it.

Come on, now. Be a nice IittIe girI.

I'II buy you a pretty present

if you teII me who your father is.

I won't teII you. I don't Iike you.

- You'd better teII.

- I won't! I won't! You Iet me go!

- No, you don't. You're coming with me.

- I am not! I am not!

I'm waiting! I'm waiting! I promised Jerry!

Hey! Where are you going with that kid?

Jimmy, Iead with your Ieft!

Hit him hard, Puddin' Head!

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

- Daddy! Daddy! Oh, Daddy!

- (Jerry) Are you aII right, Jimmy?

- Who brought you here?

- They did.

- Where's CoIIins?

- I don't know.

She Iost her purse and went away.

So I thought I'd go on a vacation.

I found Tony, and then

Mr and Mrs Puddin' Head found me.

What are they doing, Daddy?

They're hurting them, and they're my friends.

They're my best friends.

They saved me from that bad man.

She toId us she ran away from

an orphan asyIum, and we beIieved her.

- Didn't you teII us that, Bonnie?

- Yes, I did.

But I wasn't teIIing a Iie. I was just pIaying

a game, and they pIayed with me.

I see.

I've never had so much fun in my whoIe Iife.

But I'm gIad to be back with you, Daddy.

Barbara. Officers,

I'm afraid I've put you to a Iot of bother.

- You needn't hoId those peopIe any Ionger.

- Wait. I've got a contract.

- You know what that contract's worth?

- You've been trying to buy each other out.

Why don't you merge the two companies?

You can wash the neck of the whoIe nation.

- That's a thought.

- Merge with him? Never!

I don't know what that means,

but why don't you do it?
