[theme music]

And furthermore, young lady,
you're not going to watch

television for one whole week.

Then I ran away from home.

All right, miss Smart Aleck,
no television for two weeks.

Two weeks?

I'll ran so far away.

You'll never see me again,
not even my whole life.

Three weeks, and
go to your room.

I promise to visit
you once in a while

if you change it
back to one week.

[laughter]

No deals.

The punishment stands.

That's mean.

How can you do that to
your sweet little girl?

My girl.

My sweet little girl has
turned into a sour ball lately.

I have not.

I'm just as sweet
as I always I'm.

It's just that you
don't love me anymore.

All right, young lady,
we'll just have your father

handle this situation.

Daddy darling.

[laughter]

Yeah, well, how
do you like that

for a greeting, Uncle Charlie?

Ain't I as sweet as I
always was, daddy darling?

Well, now just let me see.

Mm, even sweeter.

Care for a bite, Uncle Charlie?

No, thanks.

I'm on a diet.

I love you, daddy.

You know I love
you too, sweet heart.

And but somebody in
this family loves me.

Oh, for goodness sakes.

Well, nope.

Don't anybody tell me.

Just let me guess.

I would guess that Linda's
in the doghouse with mommy.

Well, mommy started
hollering at me

and she said I was a
sour ball and that I

couldn't watch television
for three whole weeks.

Mommy doesn't love
me, but you do.

don't you, little sweetie pie?

I may be ill.

Daddy, I don't have to go
three weeks without watching

television, do I?

Well, uh, sweetheart,
uh, uh, darling,

I'm afraid we're going
to have to obey mommy.

Then you don't love me either.

Of course, I love you.

No, you don't.

Linda, stop saying that.

Nobody loves me.

We all love you.

I bet you think
I'm a sour ball too.

No, but you're
beginning to convince me.

[laughter]

You don't love me and
mommy doesn't love me

and nobody loves me.

Can you stop that.

And everybody's
always hollering at me,

so I don't want to live
in this family anymore

and I'm going to run away.

All right, run away.

Go ahead but don't
head for Florida.

The prizes are murder
this time of year.

[laughter]

Run away, how about that?

You're a big help
encouraging her.

Encouraging her?

To run away.

Oh come on, Clancy.

You're not taking the
baby seriously, are you?

Well, this isn't the
first time she said it.

Every time she doesn't get
something she want, she says,

"I'm going to run
away from home."

All kids say that.

Forever more, kids
have been saying,

"I'm going to run
away from home.

If you make me my spinach,
I'll run away from home."

If you don't buy new bike,
I'll run away from home."

When I was a kid, I would run
away from home every week.

When you were a kid didn't
you run away from home?

No.

[laughter]

My parents ran away from me.

You know, I
can't believe that.

I'm in no mood for
a couple of comics.

And if you are not going to
do something about it, I will.

Honey, there's nothing
to do about it.

Please trust my judgment.

I know enough about kids.

All of a sudden you're
a child psychologist?

I don't have to be
a child psychologist

to know my own kids.

And I know Linda she's
not going to run away.

Never in a million years.

She's only bluffing.

Daddy, why is Linda packing?

What?

Parking?

Yeah, where's she going?

Nowhere.

She's packing to go nowhere?

Yeah, yeah, you see your
father hasn't told you

yet that she's only bluffing.

[laughter]

I don't have to tell her.

She knows it better than I do.

Oh, I see.

She's still on that
running-away kick.

That's right.

You know, you could be a
help in this situation.

- OK, daddy, I'll help.
- God boy.

I'll help her pack.

Right.

[laughter]

Well, I'll pack some
sense into her head.

Sweetheart, you're playing
right into her hands.

What's the matter with you?

She wants this kind of
a-- sit down, will you?

Oh, Danny, I don't
feel like sitting down.

Wash yourself, huh?

Be calm.

You've raised children long
enough to know what goes on

in their fiendish little minds.

Look, these kids will
use every weapon they

can get their hands on to win.

They're constantly forever
testing to see what works best.

And if they can aggravate
you, they got you.

Now, just relax.

Ignore her.

Let's show her that we're
smarter than she is.

Just ignore her.

You mean let her run away?

She's not going to run away.

But she's packing.

Sweetheart, if you pay her no
attention, she'll stop packing.

You're right,
she'll stop packing.

She's all finished.

[laughter]

Let me leave, but
I always loved you.

Danny.

Come back here,
young lady, instantly.

What is this bag you're pulling?

Some day there isn't going to
be anybody to make me come back

and then you'll see.

You go to your room.

I'll deal with you later.

How do you like that?

You and your child psychology.

Danny, if I ever
have a child and I

call you on the phone for advice
as a father, hang up on me.

[laughter]

All right, it was a
one in a million shot.

You were so sure about
Rusty when he was Linda's age,

and he ran away too.

OK, so it's a two
in a million shot.

But I don't like
the odds and I

don't like my own
child constantly

threatening to run away.

And you've got to do
something about it.

OK, OK, I'll do
something about it.

What's that?

Let her run away.

What?

You're going to let your
own child run away from home?

That's right.

Yeah, for what?

To save on your milk bill?

[laughter]

Oh, Danny are you--

No, to knock some sense
into her little head.

Are you serious?

Of course, I'm serious.

Danny, I'll pay for the milk.

Oh no.

Danny, you must
be out of your mind.

She's only a baby.

You can't let her wander
around this city alone.

Why not?

Why not?

Let her experience
the cold world.

Let her know what it is to be
outside without the protection

of her mother and her father.

Let her feel the pangs of hunger
and the pangs of loneliness.

I guarantee you she'll
learn a lesson she won't

forget as long as she lives.

Oh, you're sick.

Oh, you're sick.

Danny is sick.

Certainly he's sick.

It's-- it's a ridiculous idea
and I'm not going to have it.

I'm sick.

You mean you don't know
that-- you think I'm serious?

I don't mean for her
to really run away,

it's just an experiment.

Danny, you're not going to
experiment with my children.

Kathy, please just trust me.

Will you let me do it?
- No, Danny.

No.

It is out, O-U-T no.

[laughter]

You spell real good.

OK, N-O out.

Let's have it your way.

Let's do it the way
you want to do it.

That's the way
I intend to do it.

I'm going through
with this experiment.

You know?

Yeah, I'm going
to let her run away.

You're going to
let her run away?

- And I need your help.
- Oh no.

No, no, not me.
Don't get me involved in this.

- But Charlie--
- No but Charlie.

Charlie, I can't
do it without you.

- I don't care.
- You're going to help me.

I'm not going to do it.

My grandfather always
used to say a guy who

get in the middle
between a husband

and his wife is out of his mind.

You hear me?

He's out of his mind.

Aren't we supposed
to negotiate

my new contract next week?

You know-- you know, that's--
that's going pretty low, Danny.

I mean, that's big and I mean,
I would expect from another,

but from you, and all
these years, I didn't--

I repeat, aren't we
supposed to negotiate

my new contract next week?

How should I know?

I'm out of my mind.

Good boy.

[laughter]

Danny.

Oh.

Where have you been?

Oh, well, we were at
the costumers, honey.

We're Putting on a new
number at the Copa.

You know, we have to get
some cash to do something.

Well, did you have
to be out so long?

Louise isn't here today and
I've got to go to the market

and I have to keep
an eye on Linda.

All right, dear.
All Right

Well now listen, will
you give her her lunch

and don't let her
out of your sight?

I won't.

I won't.

You know what you're
supposed to do?

Yeah, I'm supposed
to have something

of the back out of this before
it's too late, but I haven't.

I'll wait downstairs and I
won't let her out of my sight.

Here, take your bundle.

- Daddy?
- Yeah.

Do you this will work?

Of course, it'll work.

Linda, come on down here.

You know if you let her out
of your sight for a minimum,

I'll never forgive you.

Don't worry about it.

Now your sister
is going to think

she's running away
from home, but actually

she'll be on a guided tour.

Now just let me
handle this, will you?

Rusty, would you excuse us?

Your sister and I have to
have a man-to-man talk.

Still planning to
run away, I see.

Why shouldn't I?

Nobody loves me.

Everybody hates me.

They do, huh?

How about all the
nice clothes mommy

buys for you and all the
food and the nice things

I get for you and how we worry
about you when you're sick,

is that hate?

How about when
everybody hollers at me

and punishes me and doesn't
let me watch television,

is that love?

I don't suppose I could
convince you that we

punish you because we love you.

Sure you could convince me,
but I wouldn't believe it.

[laughter]

See, well, young lady, you
might be interested to know

that mother and I
talked this over

and we have come to a decision.

You did?

Yeah.

Yes, we feel that
since you don't want

to live with us anymore,
it isn't fair for us

to stop you from leaving.

So you may leave
any time you wish.

This is some kind of a trick.

Why would I play
a trick on you?

So you can catch me running
away and holler at me.

No, there's no trick.

You're free to leave
any time you want.

I am?

You am.

Goodbye.

It was nice having
you for a few years.

[laughter]

Oh, don't you want
to talk over your plans

before you leave?

Plans?

Yeah, have you got plans?

Oh sure, I have plans.

Well, fine.

What kind of plans are they?

Well, I thought I'd find a way
and whatever happens happens.

It's pretty a good plan.

[laughter]

What about making a living?

You know, you have to
pay room and board,

and look after yourself,
how to get a job, you know.

Well, I thought maybe I
could run away to Hollywood

and become a movie
star in pictures.

Sounds like a good idea.

I'll see you around.

Say hello to Donald
Duck if you see him.

[laughter]

How do you get to Hollywood?

Well, shortest way we
go right across the street

and through the park.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Who's going to take
me across the street?

[laughter]

Oh, I think I
can help you there.

Rusty?

Yes, sir.

Your sister's running
away to Hollywood.

Would you take her
across the street?

[laughter]

I know you'd be sorry
that you hollered at me.

[laughter]

[music playing]

Yoo hoo!

Cindy Lou!

You wouldn't be Cindy
Lou Flugelheimer,

would you, honey child?

Who is Cindy Lou Flugelheimer?

My little daughter.

Don't you even know what your
own little daughter looks like?

Not any more.

She ran away from
home 30 years ago,

and I haven't seen her since.

Had you lunch?

No.

You might as well
have half of this.

Yep, I've been looking
for her ever since.

If she really knew
how me and her

mom I miss her and love her--

are you positive you aren't
Cindy Lou Flugelheimer?

Mama and papa may, but
I'm sure I'm not her.

That's exactly the way
Cindy Lou felt 30 years ago.

Just because me and her mama
hollered out and punished her.

Why did you punish her?

Why?

Because instead of
doing the homework,

she would sit around watching
television all the time.

But they didn't have
television 30 years ago.

[laughter]

That's right.

That's why we didn't
want her to it.

She was straining her
eyes, looking for the set.

You might as well
have the other half.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah.

She just couldn't
understand that we punished

her because we loved her.

That's why today, Mrs.
Flugenheimer and me just

sit around and cry and cry.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Yeah, really.

All mamas and papas do that
when their little child

runs away from home.
- They do?

Mmm.
Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

If every little girl's only
knew how they make their mamas

and papas cry and worry when
they run away from home,

they'd come right back
and never run away again.

Well, I guess it's time
for me to go on home

and join Mrs. Flugenheimer
in a little bit of crying.

She hates to cry alone.

Cindy Lou!

Cindy Lou!

Go back!

Cindy Lou!

Hey, mama mia.

Hey, papa.

Hey, mama mia.

Mama!

Oh, hello, little kid.

Can you see my mama
and my papa coming to

Is your name Flugenheimer?

No.

I use to know Flugenheimer.

He's a castagnetti.

[speaking italian] I
look everywhere for them.

I no couldn't find them.

Did they lose you?

No, no, I'm lose them.

I runned away from home.

Why did you run away?

I runned away because my
mom used to holler on to me

all the time.

[speaking italian]

What does that mean?

That mean you're going to
get a nice hit on you head.

That was mean.

Yeah.

That's what I thought.

I thought that was a mean
when I was a little like you.

But later on, I find out that
my mom hit me on to my head

because she loved me.

Yeah?

And my pappi loved me
10 times more than my mom.

He kicked my brains out.

Say, I bet you like to have a
little milk with that thing,

would you?
- Hmm.

Would I?
- You like to have some?

All right, I happen to
have a little somethin'

right over here.

Here, you hold the cup.

- Mm-hmm.
- That's nice.

Yeah.

Nice girl, you drink that milk.

That's a good feel.

Yeah.

that was a 50 year ago,
I run away from home.

50 years?

You haven't seen your mama
or papa for 50 whole years?

That's right.

For 50 years, I no see them.

Every place I go, I
call, hey, mom, hey, pa.

Nobody answer.

Every night when I go to sleep,
I sing, I sing, I sing oh,

my papa.

Sometimes I sing oh, my mom.

And sometimes, I sing oh,
my uncle, oh, my cousin,

oh, my brother, oh, my sister.

That's why I can't sleep.

I'm too busy singing.

Yeah.

When I think about, I wanna cry.

I will run away from home
and them a nice people.

I cry all the time.

See, that's no nice to run away.

Drink your milk, Could you?

Yeah.

I said to myself,
Giuseppe, that was not nice

that you run away from home.

No, no, no, eating
the candy, kid.

Drink the milk.

Give me back my candy.

No, you're drink
the milk and I--

Oh, you--

I want my candy.

You drink the milk first.

- Give me my candy!
- Drink the milk.

And--

What's the matter little girl?

This man took
away my candy bar.

You don't know this man?

No.

I've heard of stealing
candy from a baby,

but I never saw it tried.

You ought to be
ashamed of yourself--

Excuse me--

--a grown man.

I-- I-- I could explain.

No bend them my neck.

I could explain it.

You're going to
explain it to the judge.

You'll come along with me.

Wait, actually, you
don't-- you don't understand.

- Come along.
- Shh.

Ix nay, ix nay.
See, I could--

I-- I got a witness.

Hey, Mr. Flugey!

Mr. Flug!

CHARLIE: What is it, Giuseppe?

Hey, this nice officer,
he think I'm gonna

steal the candy from the babe.

He wanna arrest me,
take me to jail.

You tell him.
- Oh, no, no.

Come on, now.

Unhand that man, officer.

I got somebody influential
friends in Congress, sir.

Interfering with an officer
in the commission of his duty.

I am--
- That's right, sir.

Come along, too.
She's getting away.

Come on.

Wait.

[music playing]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Yes?

Oh, Hello, Mrs. Anderson.

What?

Oh, Mrs. Anderson, I can't
talk to you right now.

My little girl is missing.

Yes, yes, well she--

she was in the park with her
father, and she got lost.

Over two hours ago.

Everybody's looking for her.

Yes, yes.

Thank you.

I'll let you know.

Bye-bye.

No news?

No.

Charlie and the rest
are still looking.

I came home to see if
you heard anything.

Not that word.

Danny, how could you
have done such a thing?

Honestly, how could
an intelligent person

let-- let a little girl
get loose in a city.

It was an accident.

Oh, it was an accident when
I bailed you out of jail.

I-- I should have
let you stay there

until you had a long gray beard.

Well, you're trying
to make me feel

worse than I feel bad enough.

She's my kid, too, remember?

Oh, it was such a
ridiculous scheme.

You said that you were going
to forget all about it.

It was working, Kathy.

It was working beautifully.

We had her convinced.

Charlie and I worked
real hard on her.

And we-- we fed her,
and we made jokes.

And we had her
convinced that it was

a wrong thing to run away, wrong
for her, wrong for her parents.

And the policeman came along,
and the whole thing blew up.

He was only trying
to protect her.

He didn't know you
were her father.

I know, I know.

But look, I understand
you're arguing.

Look, I got to file out
before it gets too dark.

You know, if I ever bring up
child psychology to you again,

you have my permission
to hit me over the head

with the heaviest
book you can find.

Well, that's over here.

Linda!

[GASPS] Linda, oh, my baby!

Where have you been?

We've been looking
everywhere for you.

Well, I was gonna
run away from home.

But then-- then I met this
real nice Mister, uhm,

Guiseppe and Mr. Flugelheimer.

Yeah.

They were real, real nice to me.

And they gave me, uhm,
sandwich and some milk.

And then they--
they made me realize

how terrible it was to leave
you and, uhm, daddy here.

And so, I came home,
and nobody was here.

And-- and so, I
went to my bedroom.

And I think I fell asleep.

And then, I heard you talking.

I came down.

And boy, was I glad
to hear your voices.

My baby.

Oh you mean, ah, those two men
in the park kind of like taught

you a lesson, huh?

They sure did.

Right, Doctor Spark, wipe the
canary feathers off your chin.

Come here, baby.

You've had kind of a
busy day, haven't you?

I sure have.

Now, I'll tell
you what you do.

You go up and take
a nice warm bath,

and get into your pajamas.

Then you and I'll have
a talk like we should

have had in the first place.

And then you can come down and
stand up to a nice dinner, OK?

Why stand up for dinner?

Because after
we have our talk,

you're not going to be able
to sit down for a while.

[music playing]

[SINGING] Be kind
to your parents

though they don't deserve it.

Remember their grown ups,
a difficult stage of life.

They're apt to be nervous
and over excited, confused

from their daily
storm and strife.

Just keep in mind, though
it sounds odd, I know,

most parents once were
children long ago.

Incredible!

So treat them with patience
and sweet understanding.

In spite of the
foolish things they do.

Someday you may wake up and
find you're a parent, too.

Oh, no!

Oh, yes.

All right.

Ah, ah, are we friends?

Yes.

DANNY: Friends.

I promise you I'll
never run away again.

That's good, darling,
because next time,

you might not be
so lucky and run

into such nice men like
those two fellows that--

what were their names?

Ah, you mean Mister, uhm,
Flugelheimer and Mr. Giuseppe?

That's right.

By the way, which one of
them did you like the best?

I think I like Uncle Charlie.

[music playing]
