Savannah Smiles Page #7

---

- Lord of mercy.

- Fellas.

There comes a dude in a long black skirt.

It's no dude, it's a priest.

Wait a minute.

It's the priest I saw on television.

That's father Ohara.

Hi, father.

- Hi, father.

- Hello, padre.

- How you're doing?

- Oh, fine, fine.

How are you, Savannah?

I'm fine!

- And you know what?

- What?

I went on a picknick and I got a puppy.

Oh, that's fine, real fine.

My sons...

I want you to trust me, huh.

I'd like to let me help you if I can.

Well, you can, padre.

You can get behind this car here and give us a push.

Don't you wanna give Savannah to me right now?

No, sir. They had their chance and they blew it.

Now you get back there and give us a startup.

- You, too, Boots. Go help him.

- Me?

And you stay here. The mad king Boris is out there.

The mad king Boris.

Okay, father, on three. Ready?

One, two, three!

What are they doing now?

It looks like they're pushing the car.

- Don't you wanna go with them?

- Wait for me!

Get in, padre!

- Oh, no, I could not got away.

- Get in!

All right, but...

I suppose you could drop me off.

They're in an unmarked car.

Don't push anything,

and don't let them get out of your sight.

If that's the way they wanna play the game,

we want that reward, padre!

Fine, fine.

After the ceremony we'll work something out.

Sorry. Sorry. I'm really sorry.

So sorry.

I'm so sorry. Where are we?

Ah. Now that Dorothy and Donald had given

themselves to each other bu solemn vows

with the joining of hands and the

giving and receiving of a ring,

I pronounce that theu're husband and wife

in the name of the father, the son, and of the holy spirit.

...

...

The ceremony is over and there's no sign of the suspects.

We'll check it out.

And, padre, remember... Tell them, no cops.

I just found this note in the bedroom.

- You showed this to anybody?

- No.

Hello.

Yes, father, I understand. We'll be right there.

They wanna give her back.

I don't think we should mention this to anybody.

It would just complicate things at this point.

- Okay, they're there.

- Let's go.

Are you okay, puppy?

Oh, puppy.

Bootsie, my puppy has to go to the bathroom.

Okay, honey.

Just let him go right over there.

Here you go.

Come on, puppy, come on.

Come on. Come on, puppy. Come on. Come on.

Where's Savannah?

- Oh, no. Savannah. Where's she?

- She's fine, fine.

- Where is she?

- She's up there on top, but she's fine.

Why didn't you bring her back down?

I just wanted to make sure there's no dumb stunts

like happened this morning.

We did out part of the bargain.

If you want count the money... here!

You can keep your money!

All we want is to give Savannah back, save and sound.

You can keep the bargain.

No charges and no cops.

You have my word.

And you all take good care of that kid from now on.

What does that supposed to mean?

We will.

Come on, padre.

Pruitt, we're right here.

Everything's fine.

Who?

A few?

Bring them up.

All units, start to move in.

Savannah.

Savannah.

Well, Boots, the coast is clear. Where's the kid?

She was here just a minute ago.

What did you do? Just let her wander off?

I'll find her, don't worry.

She just took her dog to the bathroom.

This is no place for a kid to get lost!

Look, fellas. I think you've to leave now while you still

got a chance. I'll find her. Please, go!

We can't just ran off and leave her!

She could get hurt up here! I gotta find her!

Savannah!

Savannah!

Savannah!

Savannah!

Savannah!

I've no idea what they're doing out there.

They'll be down in a few minutes.

Savannah!

Savannah!

Savannah!

Savannah!

Savannah!

Could I use this phone, please? Thank you.

Yes, Mr. Driscoll, please. He should be right there.

- Mr. Driscoll?

- Yes. Thank you.

Hello.

Richard?

Richard, I don't want you to be too alarmed, but...

Savannah has wandered off.

Everything's going to be fine. Don't worry, we'll find her.

Father...

Thank you.

- She's lost.

- What?

I've to got everybody up there.

- Can you get this mashine running?

- Did you call the police?

- Richard, did you call the police?

- I had no choice.

No choice? What are you talking about?

Our choice is to get that child!

- Freeze!

- Hey! Look, hey!

- Come here!

- Over here!

- Move it! Have you seen the kid?

- Where's the other one?

It's him down there.

...

Go over there.

Go around behind him.

Sir!

You poor little puppy.

I'll be with you all my life.

I can call you puppy, can't I?

Hey!

What happened?

You've found him, did you?

He's all wet.

Here.

Dry him off with this wrinkle.

Dispatcher, Savage.

Turn all action and communication to chief Pruitt.

He stopped shivering yet?

- When you get children, will you have it back?

- No, no.

As child we had puppies. It was dirty like a pig.

How did it get clean?

Well...

My mama used to lick them clean.

- Should I lick him?

- No.

This bath he did, that will do fine.

- Who are those people up there?

- Well, they...

We thought you was lost and...

they all came up here to help us looking for you.

- Gee, have I now many trouble?

- No.

Where's Bootsie?

He must be here somewhere.

He won't be long.

What's my surprise?

Well, it didn't turn out exactly we've planned it.

I'm sorry.

Savannah...

our vacation is over,

and Bootsie and me have to go back there.

We can't play together and have fun anymore?

Oh, sure we can, someday maybe, but...

the time has come when playing and games is over,

and everybody's getting back home.

But that's all right.

We had a real good time.

- We have a good time, haven't we?

- We sure have, Alvie.

Hey.

If you like, I'll you give a back ride.

Yeah.

Come on.

Give me the puppy. You hold on tight.

You're on?

- I am.

- Oaky.

...

- What did you got?

- Why didn't you tell us Savannah was save?

But she wasn't.

No, no, don't go down there. He's got a gun, Mrs. Driscoll.

Let me go down there. He isn't gonna shoot anyone.

You agree with her, don't you?

Mummy!

Oh, mummy!

Oh, my baby.

Alvie!

I'm your friend.

I could use a friend, padre.

Maybe you ought to take this.

It ain't loaded.

- Stay close to me.

- Don't worry. I will.

Freeze! Put your hands behind the head!

- There's dad. Go ahead.

- Easy.

Oh, sweetheart.

- Are you all right?

- Yes.

Bootsie!

Goodbye, Bootsie.

- Goodbye, honey.

- I've to go home now.

- I know.

- You're not mad at me?

Of couse not.

Will you come and see me?

I'll sure try.

You promise?

I promise.

Won't forget?

Not a chance.

Here, honey.

- I'm glad everything worked out all right.

- Yes, chief.

I'd like to take my daughter home, chief Pruitt.

Could you drive us, please?

Goodbye, Richard.

Come on.

No doubt you should be very proud.

You still have a perfect record.

I hope nobody ever tells her that we're bad guys.

It won't make no difference.
