Without wings

Through the sky

Tell me why

Mommy dear -

You. Little girl.

You, little girl.

You.

I won't hurt you.

Please, little girl.

Little girl.

Please come here.

Come here!

Griff!

Griff, I just saw her

playing in the alley.

The little girl.

I remember the little girl.

No, you've got to believe me.

Griff, she's six or seven, blonde.

Oh, Daddy.

I had to lie.

I couldn't tell her

what I was going to be.

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

All right.

Griff, let me in. Please let me in.

I've got to talk to you.

Please, open the door.

Do you remember me?

No.

Of course you remember me.

You were at Uncle Grant's house.

You remember Uncle Grant, don't you?

Don't you remember Uncle Grant?

Oh, you certainly remember Uncle Grant!

You know him!

You were at his house!

Don't you remember that?

Look at me!

Don't you remember me?

You know me!

Hey, now.

Now, Bunny, nobody's going to hurt you.

Hey, I'm here.

Did you ever have a baby?

No.

I can't have a baby.

Pretend you had a baby.

Pretend that that child in the next room

is your little girl.

Be gentle with her.

Make her trust you, like you.

Talk to her as you would to your -

to your own child.

Not as Kelly...

but as a mother.

Give it a try?

Come on, Bunny.

It's all right.

It's all right, Bunny.

Nobody's going to hurt you.

Do you remember Uncle Grant?

Oh, yes. I love Uncle Grant.

Mommy said he won't be back

for a long time.

Did you ever go to Uncle Grant's house...

without your mommy and daddy?

Once.

Do you remember when you went there?

Yes, ma'am.

Uncle Grant gave me some candy.

He liked the dress

Mommy bought for me.

He was showing me a new game.

He made me promise not to tell

Mommy or Daddy or anybody...

because this was a special game

just for me.

Then you came in, and I ran out.

You're the lady

with the big cardboard box.

Oh.

Why are you crying, lady?

Oh!

"Penal Code 1385-

Dismissal of an Action.

"The court may either of its own motion...

"or upon the application

of the prosecuting attorney...

and in furtherance of justice

order an action to be dismissed. "

You're off the hook, Kelly.

The judge and the D.A.

gave you a clean bill of health.

The whole town's got you on a pedestal

for what you did for the children.

They sure put up statues overnight

around here, don't they?

You ought to have that shower fixed.

- My trunk at the station?

- Yeah.

Well -

Thanks, Griff.

- So long, tiger.

- Good luck, muffin.

Oh, Kelly!

She still owes me 10 bucks.

Then you'll be seeing her again.

She never makes change.

Samuel Fuller

Samuel Michael Fuller (August 12, 1912 – October 30, 1997) was an American screenwriter, novelist, and film director known for low-budget, understated genre movies with controversial themes, often made outside the conventional studio system. Fuller wrote his first screenplay for Hats Off in 1936, and made his directorial debut with the Western I Shot Jesse James (1949). He would continue to direct several other Westerns and war thrillers throughout the 1950s. Fuller shifted from Westerns and war thrillers in the 1960s with his low-budget thriller Shock Corridor in 1963, followed by the neo-noir The Naked Kiss (1964). He was inactive in filmmaking for most of the 1970s, before writing and directing the war epic The Big Red One (1980), and the experimental White Dog (1982), whose screenplay he co-wrote with Curtis Hanson. more…
