HERE--

I'VE GOT SOME ADHESIVE

IN MY EMERGENCY POCKET.

I'LL JUST CLEAN IT UP

A LITTLE.

HERE'S YOUR MEDAL,

KID.

I CAN'T NOW,

I'M TOO BUSY.

I'LL KEEP I FOR YOU.

WELL, WE GO A CROAKER.

ALWAYS COME IN HANDY

IN OUR FAMILY--

EH, KID?

HUH? OH, YES.

[THUNDER]

COME ON.

WAKE UP, KID.

OH, YES.

COME ON,

COME ON, KID.

HUH?

WE GOT TO WALK IN

IN STYLE.

OH? OH, YEAH.

OH--OH!

HONEY CHILD!

HE'S BACK!

OH, MY DARLING!

HE'S BACK!

OH, MY DARLING!

MY BOY!

IT'S ALL RIGHT, MOTHER.

I'M HOME NOW.

OH, YES, YES,

I KNOW, DARLING.

NO, I'M ALL RIGHT.

OH, MY DEAR!

HI, DADS. I'M HERE.

OH, SON!

THAT'S A BOY.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, BUT I HAVE

TO SLEEP.

LEAVE HIM ALONE.

OH, IT'S ALL RIGHT, JOE.

YOU SEE JOE--JOE KROZAC

IS HIS NAME--

HE BROUGHT ME HOME.

DIDN'T YOU, JOE?

ALL RIGHT,

GET AWAY.

THERE YOU ARE.

YOU GO QUITE A DUCKING, DIDN'T YOU, SON?

HERE, I'LL DO THAT.

THE LAST TIME:

IT RAINED, WE SLEPT IN A HAYSTACK.

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN

WITH US, DADS. IT WAS FUN.

I'LL BET IT WAS.

YOU KNOW, JOE TRIED

TO MAKE A FIRE,

AND I SHOWED HIM HOW.

THEY WAY YOU SHOWED ME.

DIDN'T I, JOE?

LET'S GET THIS

COAT OFF.

YOU TWO MUS HAVE HAD SOME EXPERIENCE, HUH?

YES.

HERE ARE YOUR:

PAJAMAS, DARLING.

THE ONES YOU LIKE...

HOW ABOU A BIG GLASS OF HOT MILK?

HUH? OH, NO.

I'M...TOO SLEEPY,

I GUESS.

YOU ASK JOE.

JOE IS PROBABLY:

HUNGRY, THOUGH.

JOE, YOU TALK WITH

MOTHER AND DADS.

THEY CAN HELP ANYBODY.

YOU SEE, MOTHER AND DADS,

JOE ISN'T VERY WELL.

SOMETIMES HE DOESN' REALIZE WHAT HE'S SAYING.

BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT, JOE.

YOU CAN TALK:

WITH MOTHER AND DADS.

THEY'RE WONDERFUL.

YOU'VE PROBABLY NEVER

HAD ANYONE LIKE THEM,

BECAUSE YOU WOULDN' HAVE HAD ALL THE TROUBLE YOU'VE HAD.

EVERY NOW AND THEN,

JOE THINKS HE HAS

A SON LIKE ME.

HE EVEN CALLS ME JOEY.

IT WAS FUNNY.

I WASN'T AFRAID OF HIM,

BUT...HE'S A GOOD SCOUT.

HE'S OK.

GOOD NIGHT.

CAN I GET YOU:

SOMETHING TO EAT, JOE?

HUH?

THANK YOU FOR:

BRINGING HIM BACK.

WITH ALL MY HEART,

I THANK YOU.

YOU ARE PROUD OF HIM,

AREN'T YOU?

HE IS THE KIND:

OF A BOY:

YOU REALLY HOPED

FOR, ISN'T HE?

ISN'T HE, JOE?

I DON'T KNOW.

I WOULDN'T SAY THAT.

HE AIN'T THE KIND OF KID

I'D PUT MY MONEY ON,

EXACTLY.

YOU GOT HIM CONNED INTO

ONE WAY OF THINKING, SO WHAT THE HECK?

LET HIM STAY THAT WAY,

FOR ALL I GIVE A DARN.

HE DIDN'T SWALLOW

WHAT I TOLD HIM, ANYWAY.

YOU CAN JUST TELL HIM

I WAS NUTS, YOU KNOW.

STIR-CRAZY.

ME? I LIKE A KID

WITH SOME...

WITH SOME GET-UP-AND-GO

TO HIM!

I LIKE A KID THA KNOWS ALL THE ANSWERS,

ALL THE ANGLES!

WHY, I LIKE A KID THAT...

H-HOW DO YOU

GET OUT OF HERE?

GOOD LUCK, JOE.

[THUNDER]

HELLO, JOE.

I SAW YOU DELIVERING

YOUR BOY.

AREN'T YOU STAYING

TO TAKE HIM OVER NOW?

YOU'RE RUNNING OU ON HIM, EH?

GETTING BIG-HEARTED.

THAT TOUCHES ME, JOE.

I'M GOING TO HELP YOU.

START WALKING:

INTO THE ALLEY.

WELL, YOU'VE HAD

A NICE, LONG TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT,

AND NOW IT'S HERE, JOE.

MOVE ON.

NOW JUST STAND THERE

A MINUTE:

AND I'LL GIVE YOU

SOMETHING ELSE TO THINK ABOUT.

SO YOU'RE KIND

OF BASHFUL ABOUT LETTING PEOPLE KNOW

HE'S YOUR BOY,

ARE YOU?

WELL, I'LL DO I FOR YOU, JOE.

AFTER I PUMP YOU

FULL OF THIS,

I'M GOING TO DROP

A LITTLE NOTE:

TO EVERY NEWSPAPER

IN TOWN.

GOING TO TELL THEM

ABOUT YOUR BOY.

GOING TO TELL THEM

WHAT YOU DON'T SEEM SO PROUD OF ANYMORE.

THAT HE'S

JOE KROZAC'S SON.

ALL HIS LITTLE PALS

ARE GOING TO KNOW IT FROM NOW ON, JOE.

NO, YOU WON'T.

STAY THERE, JOE,

I HAVEN'T FINISHED.

[GUNSHOT]

THEY'LL ALL KNOW IT,

JOE--EVERYBODY.

JOE KROZAC, JR.!

JOE KROZAC...

[GUNSHOTS]
