Dobbs.

- Harland Dobbs?

- Yes, sir, that's right.

I'm sending a plane to pick him up in Dallas.

...

and the princess ... in the forest.

Are you listening?

Yes. Yes.

Uh, the men with the bags on their heads are in the

forest with the lady, and they're having a wonderful...

Who is it?

You stay right there, and don't move.

- Who is it?

- It's me, you idiot. Open this door!

- This pension had better be abandoned.

- It is.

It took me an hour to turn on the light,

and the water is really dark.

- You got it.

- Of course I got it.

I ripped off a radio, too.

We may now find out who's this kid belongs to.

Bootsie, where are you?

Bootsie?

I'll be right there!

What did you tell her your name for?

We ain't do nothing wrong.

We got you television!

If you're real good, tomorrow you can watch Wonder Woman!

What do you want for breakfast?

Chocolate milk, coco pops, butter milk,

chocolate strawberries,

peaches, chocolate bananas...

Tomorrow we'll get rid of this kid.

Now let's go in there and see,

if we can get this kid to sleep.

...apple and bacon.

Okay. Now we go to sleep.

If you need me, I'll be sleeping right over there. Okay?

Would you tell me a bedtime story?

I don't know any bedtime stories.

Then I'll tell you one.

Sit down.

This is the story about a rabbit, a fox and a little bear.

One day,

they made a log and they ... on it.

And then a rabbit came down the lane,

just came walking down the lane,

... so hard,

and he said "Howdie."

He already knew them but he couldn't talk.

And then they said: "If you don't say howdie,

I'll knock your head clean off!"

And he knocked his head off, and he kicked his head

into the bucket, and it was all stuck up in the tarr.

And then the fox and little bear

...

"We got you now, rabbit.

And I'm gonna cock ya, skin ya, and put ya in the pot.

And then the fox told ... to get ready,

and then the rabbit said:

"You can do anything you want ...

"but please don't ...

Please, please."

And then the fox ...

"Hmm. That's exactly what we gonna do."

...

And then the rabbit ...,

then he was laughing as hard as he can and said:

"I ..."

...

...

That was a really nice story.

- And, Bootsie...

- Yeah?

Tomorrow I'll better call mummy

and tell her I had a sleepover.

Well, you tell us where to call,

and we call her right now.

Oh, no, tomorrow will be fine.

Good night.

Good night.

- We've done it, Boots!

- Sshh, sshh.

- We've done it. We stepped right in a gold mine!

- Sshh, shut up! You don't wanna wake up the kid.

- Read this, read this.

- What is it?

Look at the picture, stupid!

- Hey, it's our kid!

- Not our kid! It's this guy Driscoll's kid!

He's a millionaire. His daddy died last year

and left him about 20 million bucks.

It says her name's Savannah.

Can't you see that isn't about the name?

Read the whole think. Look at that.

They got a hundred thousand dollar reward

for her save return.

- 100,000.

- We're rich, Alvie. We're rich!

All we've to do is to keep that kid happy

until we can grab the reward.

We go to get that money.

- Now I can go and live in style.

- Yeah, and we can get a new car.

I could buy a little whisky bar, with cold beer,

and live like a king for the rest

of my whole god damned life!

It ain't gonna work, Alvie.

What?

- What ain't gonna work?

- You're a fugitive.

They don't gonna believe we found that kid.

We've got records.

It's a lifetime crime. They call it kidnapping.

You listen to me!

I've been waiting my whole damn life to

get something big and finally score!

I won't gonna lose this chance.

We're not gonna blow this, no way!

It's gonna work out.

It's gotta work out!

I am going to make it work out!

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

- ... a beautiful castle for you, Gavin.

- Thank you... princess.

- Now you should protect me.

- From who?

- ... and the wicked witch.

- Well, where are they?

Over there and over there!

I'll run and call for help!

- Back, villain!

- Help!

I'll take you on, haha!

Are they gone yet?

Yes! Yes. This day we won, my princess.

They've all fled. Fear not, for your castle is secure.

Oh, thank you, my beautiful prince.

Wow.

I could losing my job spending all this time with you.

If you get fired, I'll just have to marry you

and take you out of all this.

Wow, you don't waste much time, do you, boy?

Yeah. Why waiting for much time? What's the point?

- How did you like my singing anyway?

- Oh, it's beautiful.

You know, with a voice like yours,

you ought to be recording stuff.

Thanks.

You know, if I could afford it, ...

a ranger, and take a little job in a launge.

Make a sense of something, you know.

How much money do you need?

More than I could get in a job like this, that's for sure.

Well, I know that. I wanna help you, Doreen, I do.

You're so sweet.

I've never felt such a powerful need

for anybody in my whole life.

Wow.

Alvie, if you're rich, if you could help me,

take care of me, of my kids, you know,

...

Well, never judge a book by it's cook.

What do you mean?

Well, I've got a little proposal

that I know you just gonna love.

...

I can't believe Doreen won't do it.

I can't believe it, either.

Not even for half of the reward money!

And I thought I had her soul, too.

Oh, god, I must've drunk 200 beers.

- So what we're gonna do now?

- Look...

we've found that kid fair and square.

- And I'm gonna get that reward money.

- The longer we keep her, the worst it's gonna get.

- You know what she had me to do?

- Bootsie!

- Yes, wicked step mother?

- Come get the garbage! ...

- ...

- Yes, wicked step mother!

- I'm telling you, she's driving me crazy.

- One thing's sure.

We gotta take the heat off. We gotta call her folks.

Yeah.

Yeah, she could say "Hello, mummy, I'm okay",

tell her what happened, and that we wanna give her back.

And to figure out some easy way

to get us the hundred grand.

Sounds simple.

Is Savannah highly imaginative, Joan?

Yes, I suppose she is.

Is she alone a lot?

As you know, I'm running for the senate,

so there's a big demand of my time.

Yes.

Well, would you say she lives in a make-believe world?

- She's brighter than an usual 6 year old.

- You didn't answer my question.

- What this has to do with...

- Did she run away?

- Is it possible Savannah left home on her own regard?

- That is absolutely absurd. Why would you even think...

- Hello?

- Yeah, hello. Are you Mr. Driscoll?

Yes, this is Mr. Driscoll. It's them.

Listen, we got Savannah and she's just fine.

We found her in the back seat of a car.

She wouldn't tell us her name, she's kind of cute that way.

But she's okay, and she wants to say hi to her mummy.

Sounds like it could be a prank.

Just try not to be emotional.

Hello, mommy.

Hello, darling.

- Hello, how are you?

- I'm fine.

It's her. It is Savannah.

Precious...

Precious, are they taking good care of you?

Oh, yes, we're having lots of fun.
