And I didn't think about that

ever no more.

What do you think you're doing?

Making all that noise and leaving the door unlocked?

A hobbyhorse! It's so cute!

- It has a real mane and a real tail.

- Where've you learned to play the harmonica?

Up at Joliet, long time back.

Let's find out if Savannah is a horses addict.

Hey, Savannah!

Let's show Bootsie what we've learned today.

- Okay.

- Okay?

Okay. We've got into a fight because you're pulling my hair.

- Pulling your hair?

- Yeah, right here.

Okay. This hair right here?

- Look over here!

- Where? Ouch!

My god, she's almost killing me.

Hey, we've so much fun now,

it could be bedtime the whole life.

You want a bed?

We sure did a good thing coming up here, didn't we?

We sure as hell did.

- Alvie, cops!

- Get the kid. Get the kid!

Come back to us now.

- ...

- Hey!

- Come on!

- Over here!

Hey! Will you get over here? Everybody! Come on!

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry

If I don't get rye whiskey, I think I will die

- If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck

- Quack, quack.

I'd dive to the bottom to get one sweet suck

I'll go get some ice cream.

Come on, Savannah.

- Isn't that very much pretty, huh?

- Wow!

Ain't that something?

It's beautiful.

Look way up there.

Can I have three chocolate ice cream cones, please?

Say, how high them falls?

About 1700 feet.

There's the deepest trail in the world.

Umm, by the way...

Is there a road that goes up to the top there?

Well, there's a narrow dirt road,

but it winds round for hours.

Son of a gun.

Hey, by the way, do you want a puppy?

A puppy?

There're free.

A puppy.

Oh, there comes Alvie.

There you go.

One for you, one for you, and one for me.

- What's that?

- What's what? I don't hear nothing.

Well, I do, Alvie. You're making weird noises.

Sounds like a puppy.

Oh, my gosh.

What...

It's a puppy, all right? How did that get in there?

- For me?

- Sure. I ain't got no use for a puppy.

Thank you, Alvie.

My little puppy.

That is the car we search.

Central 605. We found the car in the area.

Don't ever get in a car or even talk to strangers. Okay?

Next time you might not be so lucky.

I'll remember.

Good night, Bootsie.

Good night, Alvie.

Thanks for the puppy, and thanks for the picknick.

- Good night, honey.

- Good night, kid.

It's a lone kid's plan who wear out.

I ain't gonna steal anymore.

Well, you won't have to,

after we get that reward, buddy.

You're gonna get mad, Alvie, but...

I gotta tell you something.

Well, all right.

But if I'm gonna get mad, we better do it in the other room.

We don't want to wake up this little kid up. Come on.

All right. Shoot.

We gotta give the kid back.

We are going to give the kid back.

Without the reward money.

What the hell are you talking about?

Look, Alvie...

- What if she was our own kid?

- She ain't our kid.

Well, suppose she was our kid and somebody took her.

And we didn't what terrible things

might be happening to her.

How who you feel?

Listen, bro...

I've been waiting my whole life for something like this.

It's a hundred grand.

100,000 bucks!

Alvie, I called her dad.

You did? Why would you do that?

I told him we wanna to give her back

with no strings attached.

You did what?

What in the hell did you do that for?

I told you you would be mad.

Good morning everybody.

It's early morning right here.

Let's hear a music of your favorite country

in this early morning.

Take up your positions as we planned.

I want you to isolate Gibbs and take him if you can,

but the little girl must be nowhere near him.

It has to be a perfect shot, understood?

- Got it.

- Yes, sir.

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

Now, if we could pick off Gibbs,

I'm sure McGaffee will give up.

I don't like that you're going in there.

I kind of understand how you feel about the girl,

but these guys are stalling.

Gibbs is dangerous. We can't afford to take a chance.

Bill, he's armed.

I know that.

I still don't like it.

They offer to give the girl back,

and they don't want the reward.

- What's the matter? You're getting soft?

- No, but I'm not a murderer, either.

Neither am I, but time has run out.

I've never lost a case,

and I'm sure that I'm not gonna lose this one.

Hey, what's the matter?

I had a bad dream.

How did they get here?

Did you see anything? Is she there?

Right that way is your pussycat.

Don't kid yourself.

What's gonna happen? What's the plan?

We gonna isolate Gibbs.

You're trying to shoot him?

It's the only way we can be sure of getting your daughter

back unharmed. That man is a desperate criminal.

No, nobody is gonna shoot at that house. Do you understand?

Hey.

Guess what.

Bootsie has a big surprise for you today.

And Bootsie gets you ready for it.

Okay.

Where did that come from?

Outside! Somebody shot at me! Missed me by a hair!

- We gotta get out of here.

- Get the kid!

- What happened?

- Nothing.

Nothing. Everything's just fine. Okay?

Uh, we just gonna play a game.

- Yeah. You remeber king Boris?

- Uhuh.

- And the wicked witch?

- Yeah.

Well, they're attacking us right now. Yeah.

So we have to defend the castle. Okay?

- Are there any bad dragons?

- Oh, lots of bad dragons.

Somebody shot at Gibbs and missed.

- Why? Who did this? Who's in charge here?

- Keep cool. It's a very messy situation.

I'm gonna handle it. Give me that bullhorn!

You lousy rotten bastards!

What are you tying to do? Kill somebody?

There's a kid in here!

Nobody wants to kill anybody.

- Now let's talk this over.

- No, sir!

We made a deal that you broke now! So we shut it off!

And nobody gonna try to stop us!

And when I'm coming out of here, I wanna see nobody!

And I mean, nobody!

Officers, clear the area. Clear!

Do you see the dragons?

- They're right there.

- Where?

- Right there.

- Look over there!

And there's one right there.

Okay, keep your eye on them.

- There's one there.

- Where, where?

- And here's one over here.

- Oh, okay.

- Oh, that one is big.

- Watch for the king now.

He's around here some place.

- All right. Right. Now don't get spooked.

- Okay.

If we all stuck together,

nothing will happen to us. All right?

- Just stay close.

- But I am close. Let's go.

There's Savannah.

Yeah, don't worry about him because we'll fool him.

- Can I hold the flag?

- No, it's not your turn yet.

What are you doing?

Well, I'm trying to open the door! Will you...

Lord, there're pouring cops out here, and we're standing

around while you're trying to get the car open!

- Give that cotton to the kid!

- Here, honey, it's your turn.

Hold it up, honey, hold it high.

Here.

Would you just go...

Wait. Could you just wait until...

Oh, don't push hard.

- Get in the car!

- Wait a minute.

What is this for?

Just get off my leg.

Move on!

Why can't you get a get-away car that we could get away?

Don't be mad, Alvie.

Can't we just take her?

I'm gonna see if I can help.

Don't try to be a hero, father!
