All language subtitles for Punky Brewster s01e01 Punky Finds a Home 1

Maybe the world is blind or just a
little unkind.

Don't know.

Seems you can't.

Johnson, stop yelling.

You're not only waking the dead, you're
making them glad they're dead.

And it might be somebody in that
apartment.

I thought I heard a noise in there
yesterday.

It's vacant.

Well, somebody could have broke in, you
know.

A tramp.

A scapegoat.

A sex maniac.

Just waiting to grab up a luxurious
woman.

And she snores like a...

Well, Brandon, we've got to trust
somebody sometime.

You want milk or juice?

What kind of juice?

I got green juice and I got brown juice.

What's the difference?

Two weeks.

I'll have milk, please.

Want me to fix you a meal?

You can cook?

I'm an expert.

Yeah.

Can you take these pictures?

That's my job. I'm a photographer.

I like them. You know why?

Why? You come look at the people and
tell how they feel.

Well, like I said, it's my job.

care a lot about people.

Nope.

All I need in this world is my camera.

That's kind of sad.

Well, you know, you're just a child.

You haven't even learned how to match
your shoes yet.

I have two different feet.

Why can't I wear two different shoes?

All right.

Where's your family, Punky?

My father walked out on us.

Where's your mother?

I don't know.

A couple of weeks ago, my mom said we
were going on a trip.

So we piled up in our car and drove
there to Chicago.

Mom parked the car at a shopping center
and went in.

Yes? She never came back.

Oh.

Maybe my mom just forgot about me.
People forget things, right?

But one day she'll come back for me and
we'll live happily ever after in a big

mansion with bunk beds.

Have you been living in that empty
apartment all this time?

Yeah. By the way, the dryer downstairs
is busted.

Well, I'm going to call the police so
they can track down your mother.

We can't have the little girl living in
an empty apartment.

And you certainly cannot stay here.

So I'll call a detective friend of mine
and tell him that you're... asleep.

Why me?

All set.

Smile, Agnes.

Oh, Henry, you're an absolute hunk.

Every time I look at you, I get the
sweat.

Agnes, don't say things like that.

I know what's holding you back.

I've been married five times, and all
five of those bozos up and died

on me.

But I swear, they all went with smiles
on their faces.

Thank you, Agnes. It'll be ready
Thursday.

Thursday.

And when will you be ready?

I'm sorry, Agnes, but you're...

on Punky's mother yet?

No.

You're a lousy detective, Gene. Couldn't
find a moose in a phone booth.

Try your computer search system.

If you can't locate the woman by the end
of the day, then I'll bring Punky to

you.

Thanks.

Bye, Gene.

Hospital, hospitals.

I bought you two bona fide customers.

Girl!

Well, I hate to tell you the news,
Henry, but ain't nobody in here but us.

I'm trying to track down Punky's mother.

tea whistle.

However...

Dishes are done.

Hey, Brandon, how's the floor polishing
coming along?

I missed a few spots, but you did good,
considering you're a dog.

I know how cleaning's hard work, but if
we're going to stay with Henry until my

mom comes back, we're going to have to
earn our keep.

Okay?

Okay.

Well, let's see.

I think everything in here is clean.

Oops, I forgot to wash that window.

Okay, that's done.

Hey, Henry.

Yes? The dryer is still busted.

And here's what happens when I have to
hang my clothes outside.

Julio, 84.

I see who knows your dress size.

Hey, Henry.

Yes? Did you find Punky's mother?

Not a trace.

So I'm going to turn Punky over to the
Department of Children and Family

Services. Well, maybe they could fix it
where Punky could live with you.

That's a good one.

Punky living with me.

You serious?

But it's impossible.

It would never work out.

Punky's so young.

Bubbly, full of life. I'm old, tired,
and full of prunes.

Now, look, Henry.

You're all alone in this world, and so
is that little girl.

It's none of my business.

I think you two would be good for each
other.

Tell you what's wrong with it. It's
neat, orderly, organized.

Henry, there's a moldy half -eaten pizza
on the couch.

must miss her a lot.

My mommy used to say, it's good to be
reminded of the people you love.

It hurts to look at her picture.

Can I ask you something?

What?

If you never let yourself feel sad, how
do you ever feel happy?

Never mind. Subject's closed.

We were talking about you anyway.

It's obvious you want to stick around
for a while, but why here with me?

underneath your grumpiness is more
grumpiness.

But underneath the bottom grumpiness is
a good guy.

Well, sort of.

I'm too old and set in my ways to have a
child around.

I'm sorry. You can't stay.

You'll stay here tonight, and then
tomorrow morning I'll take you down to

Department of Children and Family
Services.

What'll happen to me there?

They'll find you a foster home.

They don't even know the fosters.

Funky. I'm leaving.

Hold it.

You know, I must be a terrible person.

First my father leaves, and my mother
ditches me, and you're trying to get rid

of me.

Nobody wants me around.

Well, that's okay.

Because I don't need anybody.

I can take care of myself.

I was out for three and a half hours
looking for you. Where have you been?

Right here. It was raining outside.

I'm surprised we're not looking for you.

You said you didn't care about Pete.

I have to leave tomorrow.

You're taking me down to the service
department for children.

I have to.

But I'll try and arrange it so you can
stay here till we find your mother.

Thanks, Henry.

Night.

Good night.

Sweet dream.

Could you please help me find my mom
really quick?

And in the meantime, thanks for sending
me Henry.

When he takes me down to the service
department for children, will you give

sign that everything's going to be all
right?

Is that a yes or a no?
