[theme music]

Love, I'm going.

Yes, I hope you have
a lovely day on the golf

course in the rough.

What's the matter with you?

You know, you could have
gotten up early this morning

and given me a hand.

I have 10 lunches to fix.

10 lunches?

What for?

Well Linda's Brownie troop
will be here any minute,

and I'm taking them on
a picnic in the park.

And I still have
sandwiches to fix

and I have to wrap them
and do everything else.

And I have to do
it all by myself.

Lover, if you wanted me to
help you, why didn't you ask?

All right.

Would you help me wrap a
few sandwiches right now?

You're too late.

I got to go.

Oh!

Well you could
have asked me before,

but Charlie will
be here any minute.

[doorbell]

Boy oh boy, that's
probably him now.

Jeepers creepers.

Women.

Oh.

Come in, come in.

You don't look like a Brownie.

Are you a Brownie?

Haven't made up my mind yet.

Oh?

My mother wants me to be one.

But I think they're
all pretty stuck up.

DANNY: Oh?

Who are you?

My name is Williams.

Mr. Williams.

I heard about you.

Oh?

You're a rich actor.

Are those flowers real?

Why, yes they are.

I wouldn't want to live in
a big apartment like this.

And I wouldn't want to have
all this fancy furniture

because I'd have to worry
about getting it dirty.

And I don't think
you're such a big shot.

Hi Susan, you're early.

Hi.

Hello Susan.

Linda, would you
go in the kitchen

and help wrap some sandwiches?

You too Susan.

I don't have to help.

I'm not a Brownie yet.

Then you can just watch.

Yeah, come on Susan.

The kid been taking
mean pills or something?

Oh, honey.

You have to have a little
understanding of her.

She has a problem.

She has a problem?

You mean the world's got a
problem because she's in it.

What a little brat.

I says to her are you a Brownie.

She says I haven't
made up my mind yet.

Get a load of that.

Well honey, she pretends that
she's not sure whether or not

she wants to be a Brownie
because I don't think

she can afford the uniform.

Her mother is very poor.

She's a widow.

And she has four
children to support.

Well I wasn't born
with a silver steam

shovel in my mouth.

I mean, we were very
poor when I was a kid.

But I didn't go around
hating everybody

that was eating regular.

Well different people
react differently.

And I'd love to stay here
and explain all this to you.

But I've got a lot more
work to do in the kitchen.

So go play golf.

Enjoy yourself.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Dad.

Bye Dad.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Come back.

What is that?

Hi Dad, bye Dad?

I'm going out to
the park to play ball.

Wait a minute.

What do you mean you're
going to play ball?

Didn't you promise me
yesterday that you'd

do your Spanish
homework this morning?

Homework?

Spanish?

This morning?

Yeah.

I don't recall anything like
that on my appointment book.

Russell.

Come back.

I'll refresh your memory.

Yesterday afternoon, you begged
me to let you go to the movie.

I said OK, but you
promised that you

would do your Spanish
homework this morning.

Yesterday?

Movie?

Promised?

Now what's a matter
with your voice?

Why don't you oil it?

Dad, my voice is changing.

Well not for the
better, I assure you.

Russell, please go
and do your homework.

Dad, I hate homework.

Look, there's a lot of
things in life we hate to do.

But we have to do them.

Now you've got to face up
to your responsibilities

and your obligations.

One day you'll be very
very thankful to me

that I made you study Spanish.

Why?

Because it'll come in
handy for you someday.

How?

You'll work for Desi Arnaz.

I don't know how.

Now look.

We've been over
this 1,000 times.

And I keep saying it and
you keep forgetting it.

You cannot shirk
your responsibility.

You have obligations.

Remember that.

Don't be one of these people
who keeps putting things off.

[crash]

LINDA: Oh.

Danny.

Why do you keep
putting things off?

Now what'd I do?

It's what you didn't do.

Didn't you promise me yesterday
that you would track down

that loose rug in the hall?

Yesterday?

Promised?

You left out loose rug.

Loose r--

Go pick up the dishes.

Danny will you
please stop stalling

and go fix it right now?

Sweetheart, I haven't
got time to fix it now.

Oh, you always have some
excuse for putting things off.

Where does it say things
have to be done on a timetable

for goodness sakes?

All right.

Jeepers creepers.

RUSTY: You know Dad?

What?

You ought to turn
over a new leaf.

You know, you got to meet
your responsibilities

and your obligations.

[doorbell]

Answer the door.

[chattering]

Honey, the girls are here.

[crash]

KATHY: Oh!

What, what?

What's the matter?
What's wrong?

What honey?
- Oh, dear.

I twisted my ankle.

You twisted-- how
did you do that?

I tripped over that loose rug.

You tripped over the rug?

You know it was loose.

Why didn't you get
somebody to tack it up?

Move your ankle.

Move it.

It's not broken.

Probably just a little sprain.

See if you can stand on it.

I better be able to.

I have to take these kids-- oh!

Oh.

Uh oh.
- Honey?

Oh.

I don't know how I'm
going to go on a picnic.

Are you kidding?

No.

Well where did you say you
have to go on this picnic

anyway?

Oh honey, I promised the kids.

All right.

Let one of the other
mothers take them.

Danny, they're all busy.

Well that's too bad.

Then you're just going
to have to call it off.

That's all.
- I can't call it off.

I promised them.

I can't disappoint them.

I can't let you go
to the park like that.

Not on that ankle.
It will swell up like a balloon.

I'll explain it to the kids.

Rusty.
Rusty.

Get an ice pack for your mother.

I think she sprained her ankle.

Oh.

I bet she did it so she
wouldn't have to take us.

That's not true.

Well is she going to take us?

Well I don't think
she'll be able to.

That figures.

Now, children--

[girls protesting]

Hold it, will you?

Please?

You sound like a
plague of locusts.

Wait a minute.

Let me talk.

Huh?

He likes to talk, doesn't he?

All right.

You're not babies
anymore, are you?

Right.

You're full grown young ladies.

Right?

Now, since you're a
full grown young ladies,

naturally you're
intelligent enough

to understand that if Mrs.
Williams has twisted her ankle,

the picnic has got
to be called off.

I bet you kicked her.

I did not!

Why don't you take us Daddy?

Me?

[interposing voices]

Just a minute.

As a matter of fact, I
went to sleep with my grip

like that all night last night.

I fully intend to
play golf today.

I am not going to
go on any picnic.

Now, now kids.

That's unfair of you to try to
get me to take you to the park

because I have a golf date.

See?

With my boss.

Mr. Halper.

And if I don't show
up, he'll fire me.

Don't you understand?

All right, I'll take you.

[cheering]

I have to go open my big mouth.

How do like this?

At my age, I'm a den mother.

Oh boy.

[doorbell]

Come in, it's open.

Hiya Danny.

Hello Charley.

Oh boy, what a beautiful day.

I can't wait to get going.

I've been waiting
all week for this.

Oh, we're going to have fun.

You mean, you want
to go with me Charley.

Well sure.

Charley.

You-- you really mean that?

Well of course.

You and me together.

Charley, you're
a great friend.

Here, you carry the lunches.

What?

Danny, since when do we take
food to the golf course?

Oh, Charlie, we're
not going golfing.

We're going on a picnic.

On a picnic?

Uh huh.

You and me?

DANNY: That's right.

Danny, I know
we're old friends

and I like to do the
things you like to do

and a picnic is swell.

But don't you think we'd
have more fun playing golf?

We could have more fun playing
golf than going on a picnic

with nine beautiful girls.

Nine beautiful girls?

Nine?

Nine girls nine.

My wife will kill
me, but I'll do it.

Hi Uncle Charley.

Are you going with us?

Honey, I'd love to
go, but Daddy and me,

we're going on a picnic.

You see, what we're
gonna-- what we planned--

well, actually, we were gonna--

I mean-- you see what--

what happened with the
original-- when we-- uh--

I-- if--

I-- six, seven, eight, nine.

Nine.

Nine.

Now Danny, you are a
miserable-- hoo, boy.

Danny.

If you think I'm going to
give up my golf game to spend

the afternoon with
these lilliputians,

you're out of your
cotton picking mind.

Well, I don't know and
all, girls. if Uncle Charley

won't go along,
I don't see how I

can handle this all by myself.

And well, I'm afraid if
Uncle Charley can't go,

we're going to have to
call off the picnic.

It's really up to him.

Please Uncle Charley.

You've just got to go.

Why should I?

I mean-- wha-- what's so
important about a picnic?

I mean-- I mean wha--

I-- I'm not going to
give up my golf game.

You're not going to
give up your picnic.

I mean, you don't have
to go to the park.

You can have just
as much fun here.

You can play-- Linda.

She-- and all the kid--
and then you could--

even if you should--

They get to you.

Don't they Charley?

I'll go.

I'll go.

[cheering]

[singing]

All right.

All right.
OK.

OK.

This looks like a nice spot.

OK.

Now you two go up there
and open up that basket.

And you can run
some of the lunches.

That's fine.

You take that down there.

A couple of you get some
kindling right there.

Move along.

Let's do it in an
orderly fashion.

Here we go.

Nice going you
little soldiers you.

Yes siree Bob.

Yeah?

You fascinate me.

I do?

Wonderful army.

Nine beautiful girls and
one hook nosed general.

Oh now.

- Hold this.
- Hold it?

Sure darling.
I'll hold it.

What's the matter?

Oh, general.

Yeah?

I got a message for you.

Yeah?

The enemy just
sneaked up on your rear.

Good afternoon officer.

What-- what do you
think you're doing?

Well we're having a picnic
with the Brownies here.

Having a picnic?

That's right.

Don't you pay any attention
to keep off the grass sides?

Yes sir officer.

Any time I see it keep
off the grass sign,

I always keep off the grass.

Any time you see it?

That is right.

All right now.
Come on.

Get this stuff out of here.

Pick up the blankets.

Girls, no picnics
on the lawn here.

Get it out of here right away.

Clear out, clear out.

But Mr. Policeman.

Where can we go?

Look, I only enforce the law.

I'm a policeman.

I don't make the laws.

Now look kids.

I'm only a cop.

They sort of get
to you, don't they?

All right, I'll
pretend I didn't see you.

Go ahead and have your picnic.

[cheering]

Hey, you're all
right, officer.

Thanks a lot.

Don't bother thanking me.

I did it for the kids.

And listen, no more
your shenanigans.

And keep your eye
on these signs.

You understand?
- Yes sir.

Watch out for the signs.
DANNY: Yes sir.

All right.

I'll put it right back.

Yes sir.

Danny boy, this is more
fun than playing golf.

Right?

Will you stop heckling and go
make a fire for the hot dogs?

Go make a fire.

Carry the coffins.
Tote that barge.

Lift the bales.

What are you doing?

I'm starting a fire.

That's not the
way Indians do it.

Honey, this may come
as a surprise to you,

but I'm not an Indian.

Well you can't do it that way.

You have to rub two
sticks together like this.

Susan, come here.

I need you right away.

Here, you do it.

These Indians must have
eaten a lot of cold dinners.

Excuse me, Hiawatha.

That's the way to start a fire?

Yeah, like the Indians do.

Well the Indians got
a new invention now.

Yeah, the Chok Toks
do it like this.

Just like that.

What's the matter?

Little boy blue is here again.

You got kind of a
small beat, haven't you?

And now what are you doing?

Starting a fire to
roast some weenies.

So I see.

No open fires.

Where do you want
me to have a fire?

In my pocket?

Didn't you see the sign
that said no open fires?

Don't start with
the sign stuff.

Now I put the no grass walking
on the grass sign away.

But there is no sign here
that says no open fires.

I--

You're using it
for kindling wood.

Now look, this is the last
time I'm going to tell you.

Any more infractions
and I'm running you in.

You understand?

Now look, you can't--

And that goes for you too.

I guess you could.

And mind the signs.

We will.

Don't you know any
better than to start

a fire right in front of a sign
which it says no open fires?

Me?

What are you blaming me?
It's that Susan.

- What?
- That little monster.

What do you mean?

This kid has been
pulling up all the signs.

She's piled the wood up here.

She started this.

And I tell you
another thing, Danny.

If we don't get out of here,
she's going to get us arrested.

All right, all right.
Just keep your shirt on.

We'll make them a couple of hot
dogs and we'll take them home.

Don't get excited.
- Daddy?

Yeah honey?

Can we go swimming in
that lake over there?

Do you see a sign that
says no swimming allowed?

Now whatever the sign says,
that's what you have to do.

And it says don't, you don't.

Now you tell the
rest of the girls.

Stay away from the signs.

Holy smokes.

What do you got there?

Flowers.

Where'd you get them?

Over there.

From where the sign
says do not pick flowers?

It figures.
It figures.

What are you?

Some kind of troublemaker?
Give me those flowers.

Give them to me.

You give me back those flowers
and go with the other girls.

What's the matter with you?

How do you like that?

This could be a lot of
trouble here, Charlie.

Take them.

Get those hot
dandelions away from me.

Will you please take them?

What for?

Put them back.

Put them back?

Yeah, put them
back in the ground.

Go ahead.

You want me to put the
flowers back in the ground?

Yeah.

Danny I said it before
and I'll say it again.

You're si-- oh, you're sick.

And now what are
the Rover boys up to?

We're-- we're
planting flowers.

Planting flowers.

Yeah, we-- we want
to beautify the park.

You expect me to believe that?

I don't, but I think he does.

Charley!

All right, that's it.

Pick up the flowers.
I'm taking you in.

- Taking me in?
- That's right.

But officer, I can explain.

You can explain to the judge.

And you too.
- Me?

I'm not with him.

I never saw him
before in my life.

Come with me and
I'll introduce you.

Come on.

Mr. Williams.

You are aware that you weren't
supposed to pick those flowers.

Well, yes sir.

But you went ahead
and picked them anyway.

Well, I--

Look.

What's the fine for
picking flowers?

A minimum fine
is $10 or 10 days.

OK, swell.

If that's all it is, let's not
make a federal case out of it.

Here's your $10.

It's not going to be as
easy as that, my friend.

What?

I get a little annoyed at
privileged characters like you

who break the law, pay
a few dollars in fines,

and just walk away.

Now just a minute your
honor, that's unfair.

I never claimed to be
a privileged character.

Your actions
claimed it for you.

There's a sign there saying
don't pick the flowers.

And you went ahead
and picked them.

Didn't you?

Well--

Or maybe you didn't pick them?

Maybe they just jumped out of
the ground and into your hands,

Mr. Privileged Character?

Look, I resent this kind
of treatment your honor.

I resent the language
that you're using.

I'm a legitimate citizen
and you're treating

me like I was Jack the Ripper.

You broke the law.

Well I'm willing
to pay the fine.

You're in trouble my friend.

And all that money
in your pocket

isn't going to
get you out of it.

My daddy never breaks the law.

He didn't pick those flowers.

All right, all right sweetie.

I'll tell you who picked--

No, Linda, no.

Let the little girl talk.

I picked them.

Oh for goodness
sake, your honor.

She's my daughter and she's
just trying to cover up for me.

That's all.

Believe me, she had
nothing to do with this.

But I tell you
judge, I picked them.

No, sweetheart, no.

My Daddy's just trying to
save me from the electric chair.

No!

It's nothing darling.

Please, go back and stand
with the rest of the girls.

Will you, please?

Everything is going to be fine.

Now you go ahead.

Look, your honor.

This is no atmosphere
for these children.

Why don't you let
them wait in the hall?

They had nothing
to do with this.

- I think we can let them go.
- Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Go on sweetheart.

Daddy, I want to
to to jail with you.

I'm not going to jail.

Wait for me in the hall.
- But Da--

Wait for me in
the hall sweetheart.

All of you.
Go ahead.

Go on.

Charley, deal with
the girls, will you?

Go ahead.

Look your honor, I want to
plead guilty to the charge

and throw myself at
the mercy of the court.

This court would show
a lot more mercy if it

didn't dislike your attitude.

What's the matter
with my attitude?

Now you're an
important person.

And you have a responsibility.

And you haven't lived up to it.

And you've set a miserable
example for these children.

Now I intend to impose the
full penalty of the law.

Maybe that will teach you to--

He didn't do it.

What's that?

You're punishing
the wrong person.

No, wait Susan.

Don't say another word.

I just think you're wonderful.

But you didn't do it.
I did.

Shh.

Don't say that.

Just-- just go.

Everything will be fine.

You wait out in the hall.

Hold it.

Hold it Mr. Williams.

Come back young lady.

No, no.

I thought we agreed
that they're--

Now just a minute.

Young lady.

What didn't he do that you did?

Well he didn't pick
the flowers, I did.

You did?

Yes sir.

Why didn't you say so before?

You didn't ask me.

You put the blame
on Mr. Williams

and I thought he was
going to tell on me.

But he didn't, so I thought
to myself, if he wants to get

in trouble, what do I care.

Why should I worry about him?

He doesn't worry about me.

He hates me.

Well surely if he hated you
he wouldn't be willing to take

the blame for you.

I thought about that.

That's why I came back.

Now Susan, you saw that sign.

Why did you pick those flowers?

Because they were pretty and
I wanted my mom to see them.

She works and doesn't get
a chance to go to the park.

Well that explains it.

But it doesn't excuse it.

You know, there's a rule about
damaging public property.

And you broke that rule.

Well I know that the law
governing children isn't quite

the same as it is
for grown ups. Let's

see what the book says here.

Hmm?

Oh, yes.

Here we are.

Special rule covering picking
of flowers on Saturday

by a member of the Brownies.

Well, what do you know?

Allowed to pick
them one time only.

Case dismissed.

Compliments of the
city of New York.

Now I hope your
mommy likes them.

Thank you sir.

Mr. Williams, I
owe you an apology.

You're a good man.

Thank you, your honor.

So are you.

I like to help
people when I can.

You do?

I have a parking ticket here.

Charley!

[doorbell]

Wait now.

Wait a minute.

Well hello Susan.

Don't you look nice
in your uniform?

Mommy thought so too.

She borrowed the
neighbors' camera

and took a picture of me.

Oh, well that's
just wonderful.

It came in a
package this morning.

Except I don't know
where it came from.

So I have no one to thank.

Oh, you mean
there wasn't a card?

Well it just said I hope
you enjoy wearing this.

It was signed anonymous.

Well I'm sure you
will enjoy wearing it.

Well, what was that for?

No reason.

Just an anonymous kiss.
