Well, good night, all. Good night.

What in the world are you doing with that saddle?

Tonight are the finals of the indoor polo season. I intend to lead my team to

victory. Good luck, Clayton. Luck?

Luck is only for the incompetent.

Probably why she said it.

You know, Clayton, I have a question. How do you manage to ride the horse so

fast and hit the ball at the same time?

Well, in the heat of competition, the skilled player becomes part of the

Hardy har har har.

Katie's School Orchestra is giving a concert tonight, and Katie has a cello

solo. Oh, and I am looking forward to hearing it, Liebling.

A solo.

Congratulations.

Ah, it's not really a solo.

I play seven notes alone in the middle of Fool on the Hill.

But she does them brilliantly.

What was that?

It was meant to be the cello.

Is something wrong, Denise?

I'm not sure, but I...

I think I'm going to have a baby.

Of course you are. Look at yourself.

Don't worry. You'll know when it's time.

Ah! Oh!

It's time.

Gee, I told you she'd know.

Are you sure?

Am I sure?

Call the gym. You mean call the hospital.

What did I say? I said call the gym. Pete, is that the gym?

I'll call it. Oh, get my suitcase.

Oh, well, yes, but... My suitcase is in Pete's office. Move it! Move it!

do? Uh, follow your father. Make sure he doesn't get lost.

Good plan.

What, Jim?

Oh, it's either, um, Maury's or Marty's. Oh, it starts with an M. Uh, I'd better

get a phone book.

Oh! Oh! Okay, okay, hold on, hold on. Just take it easy. Just take it easy.

Everything's gonna be all right. Now, is there anything I can do? Yes.

Get me to the hospital. Now. You want to go now?

Yes, now. Oh, yeah!

Uh, take it easy. Take it easy.

Everything's under control. My car...

You want me to drive?

Thank you. But hold it. What? We can't go upstairs until we've been admitted.

Well, how long will it take?

As long as it takes.

But this lady... Name?

Denise Downey.

And the doctor's name?

Dr. Kenderly. Dr. Kenderly. We have ears.

Ah, good.

I couldn't tell.

want to say? No, sister. Can we just get the lady upstairs?

We're not going anywhere until we've been given a room assignment. Those are

rules.

Oh!

Can we hear that?

Baby doesn't know the rules.

We don't like that tone of voice.

I tell you what, we get her upstairs, I'll come back downstairs, and then we

keep me after school.

Dr. Kinderly.

Here we are, Daddy.

Why are you just standing around?

We're waiting to be admitted.

How long will that take?

As long as it takes.

We've located Dr. Kinderly. He'll be with us in about 30 minutes.

30 minutes?

Kid will be in college by then.

Here's our room assignment.

We're in 507.

That's a nice room. The television works.

The baby will be thrilled.

I can't do this without Pete.

I hope the baby knows that.

What's going on?

What do you mean, what's going on? She's going to have the baby.

Now?

That's impossible.

Everything is scheduled for next Tuesday.

Pete, honey, it's happening today.

Yeah, but I ordered everything for next Tuesday. The candy and then the bowl of

fruit and the balloons that say, welcome, Karen.

Karen.

That's the name we picked for our little baby girl.

We didn't pick Karen. We picked Sharon.

Great.

That's $20 worth of balloons down the drain.

I'll give you $20.

Get her upstairs.

Here we go. Here we go. What floor? What floor? Five.

Oh! Oh! I'm sorry.

We'll meet Pete upstairs. Katie, wait. hear from Miss Krause. Okay, Daddy.

Bye -bye, Denise. Bye -bye. Bye.

Katie, where is everybody?

Oh, they just went up to maternity. Is everything all right?

Oh, Denise is fine. Pete's a basket case.

I forgot Denise.

She took the other elevator.

Thank you very much.

Now you're in trouble.

Men never have babies.

Why?

Because they are all pinheads.

Now, Benson, I'm kind of nervous.

Oh, don't worry about a thing, Denise. This will be over before you know it.

I'm really happy you both are here.

That wasn't a very smooth landing, was it?

Guess we're here.

Now, those doors are really slow and open.

What's wrong with this thing?

Wouldn't this be some time to get stuck?

See,

we weren't stuck.

Now we're stuck.

I don't believe this.

Besson, what are we going to do? Stay calm, Denise. They'll have us out of

in no time.

What? These doors are shut tight.

That's an interesting choice of words.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

I wonder what this emergency button does.

Thank you for pressing the emergency button.

You're welcome. Should you require assistance, please pick up the

Oh, good, there's a telephone.

Find it located immediately adjacent to the car's controls. I got it. Behind the

panel marked emergency phone.

I got it. Can you get it open? Thank you for pressing the emergency button.

Yeah, yeah.

Panel's stuck. If you require assistance, please pick up the

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Find it located immediately adjacent to the car's controls. I got the panel. I

can't find it.

You need some change?

It's buzzing.

Hello? Oh, hey, hey!

Listen, we're stuck up here on the fourth, fifth floor or somewhere, and we

help.

Yeah, can you... Who is this?

I see.

Okay, well, I'll talk to you later.

Well, what is it? What is it?

Well, the good news is that Pete knows we need help. All right.

And the bad news is that Pete's stuck in the other elevator.

Excuse me, but we need help. I think these elevators are stuck.

Do I look like Sister Goodrich?

Use the stairs.

You don't understand. There are people on those elevators.

Yeah, pregnant people.

Stay calm, girls. We'll call maintenance.

Don't worry about a thing, Katie.

I'm in charge now. I'll take care of everything.

You smell like a horse.

I came as soon as I heard. Where is he, Miss Krause? Who?

The governor.

Oh, well, I think a part of him is on the fifth floor and part on the fourth

floor.

Oh, it's worse than I thought.

Clayton, what are you talking about?

The governor. When I called the mansion, they told me the governor had been

rushed to the hospital.

No, no, no. Denise went into labor.

You mean the governor's not here?

Well, yeah, he's here, but he's stuck in the elevator with Denise and Benson.

And Pete's stuck in the other elevator.

That's it?

Isn't that enough?

Maintenance is on their way. On the verge of victory. I left the match for

nothing. This really ruins my day.

You know something, Clayton? Huh?

Nobody cares.

Maybe nobody knows we're stuck.

Governor, we've been in this elevator 40 minutes. Surely in all... that time

somebody has tried at least once to use the elevator.

You're getting cranky. You know that, Benson? Would you like me to leave?

What's the matter? Are you all right, Betty?

What do you think?

Benson, please.

Maybe you should get up here on this table. No.

Can I see you, Matt?

I've noticed that Denise is getting a little irritable, and that usually means

that the woman's getting ready to leave.

Can you call me on...

It's for you, Denise.

Oh.

Hello?

Hi, honey. How you doing?

Oh, yeah.

Calm down. I know it was a stupid question.

Now, how are your contractions?

The mail.

I delivered some puppies one time.

Good, then you got the job.

I love you too, honey.

Oh, Pete, I'm going to hang up now because I'm about to have a contraction.

Oh, boy!

Actually, you should do it, Benson. She's your secretary.

Oh, Mom, dinner.

Just a few minutes, dear. I'm sure they're working as fast as they can.

Good evening, sister. I'm Dr.

Kenderly. Can you tell me what room Mrs. Downey is in?

She's not in a room. She's stuck in an elevator.

No, you're kidding. Is that right?

We're afraid so, doctor.

Well, let me know as soon as they're fixed.

I'll go get a cup of coffee.

Just a moment, doctor.

I think you should be aware that the governor is also stuck in that elevator.

Well, there's nothing that I can do for him.

Unless... you're soliciting for campaign funds.

Soliciting? Do you have any idea who I am?

Oh, judging from your outfit, I'd say you're a very tall lawn jockey.

Oh, where is that kid going? I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind.

My dad must be a nervous wreck.

Oh, don't worry, Katie.

I'm sure your father is perfectly capable of handling this situation.

You kidding?

He tried to help our dog deliver puppies, and he fainted.

Everything's set up. I just hope we can get out of this elevator before we have

to do anything, you know? Johnson, I have a confession to make.

Hmm?

Remember those puppies I delivered?

Yeah. After the first one, I fainted.

Don't worry about it. She ain't gonna have but one baby.

How's she doing?

I think we're getting pretty close here.

Okay. Tell her to start her breathing.

She is breathing, Pete.

No, she can't come to the phone right now.

Tell her, uh... Tell her, uh... Tell her good luck.

And, uh... I love her.

Denise?

Pete says good luck and he loves you.

Tell him he's the most wonderful...

She's delirious.

She says that you're the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to her. And I

wish she was here.

And she wishes you were here.

How it's like you'd kiss this cute little bunny wabbit face.

She says, thanks so much for calling. Goodbye and goodbye.

So how you doing, Denise?

Oh, oh!

That's a minute you'd better go chuckle. I just checked her.

Well, good. Then you'll know if there's been any change.

Hello? What is this? There's no Dr.

Kenderly here. I think you've got the wrong elevator. No, no. That's my

That's her doctor.

Tell him what's going on. What's going on?

Well, he's just got the phones fixed.

Apparently, they've been miswired. Now, look. How far apart are Denise's

contractions?

Oh, boy.

Look, the elevators aren't going to be working for about another half hour.

So you'll have to deliver the baby.

Hello?

Hello?

Benson?

What was that?

Well, I don't know.

I'm okay.

We are going to have to deliver that baby.

What?

talk fast. We don't have much time. Stay calm.

You know, we can do this together.

Now, I'll give you some general information first, and then I'm going to

you through the specifics.

Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Why do I do that?

Should I take off my watch?

Okay,

here. Tell me what the doc says.

Benson, and then he gave me his watch to hold.

Oh, he says to push with a contractor.

Push what?

Denise to push with a contractor.

I am!

I am!

She's pushing.

And he says to let him know when you see the head.

I see the head.

I see the head.

I see the head! What's next?

I imagine the shoulders.

What do I do next?

Oh, what's next?

Uh -huh.

Push. Uh -huh.

Oh, well, that's very different from puppies.

Come on, come on. Come on.

Push.

Push.

There's a lot of noise.
