Original subtitles

Sometimes when I dream, I think I see her.

You know, you’ve been acting just a little bit weirder today.

I think maybe it's all this fresh air.

Don't make fun.

Sorry. Usually you’re such a tough guy.

Don't tell anyone, okay?

Scout's honor.

I mean, after all, I wouldn't want to spoil my reputation none.

None. I’ve got an idea.

Let's go spy on the boys.

Safe trip, honey.

Oh, my God!

How was the party?

Well, the good news is Clarice is gone.

You did it!

The bad news is she'll be back in a week.

Oh, you didn't.

What's a cool guy like your dad doing with a witch like her?

It's too bad he didn't meet Diane first.

Now, she's awesome.

Yeah, they’d be perfect for each other.

You're not thinking what I hope you’re not thinking.

Want to bet? But he's getting married!

They got to meet once. Then they’ll fall in love for sure.

How do you know?

Because Diane says, when it happens, it happens like that.

Okay, so look.

You go back to Diane and I'll go back to your dad.

Wait! Why not the other way around?

You know what he likes, and I know what she likes.

They need all the help they can get.

But how will we get them together?

I can't believe I let you talk me into this.

You're too tense. Relax.

I got 1 ,000 pounds of animal under my butt, and she says, "Relax."

Move with the horse and you’ll be fine.

When did you become an expert all of a sudden?

Ain't you never seen a Western?

Honey, the last Western I saw was an omelet.

What happened to those equestrian classes you took?

Are you asking me a question?

Come on. I'll race you to the lake.

No, no. Slow is good.

I like to enjoy the scenery.

I got spurs that jingle jingle jangle

As I ride merrily along

We're doing a good job, aren't we?

I'm finally getting the hang of this.

I'm getting the hang of this!

Oh, come on, Amanda. My voice isn't that bad!

I been in the desert On a horse with no name

It's good to get out of the rain

Not only is she an excellent rider, she's a gourmet cook...

...she paints... ...she speaks four languages....

You know, honey, you could learn a lot from Clarice.

Alyssa, there's a....

Honey!

Come here! Come here!

Where is that girl?

Did you bring it?

Whoa, bud!

Someone turn this thing off!

Stop this right now! I'm telling you! Stop!

Step on it!

Oh, dear! Oh, my!

Help me!

Somebody help me!

Hang on!

Call 911!

Slow down.

Don't talk to me! Talk to the horse!

I was talking to the horse!

Okay, it's okay.

I'm on a killer! They gave me the killer horse!

Relax. You okay?

You okay?

I about dropped my transmission back there.

lf it's any consolation, I used to look like a real jerk on a horse.

How many fingers, cowboy?

Six.

Close enough. Can you stand?

Which is more bruised, my butt or my ego?

Have someone take a look at that.

-My butt? -No.

That cut. Right there.

Oh, great.

We have first aid at the camp.

Oh, thanks. I just live over here.

Are you Roger Callaway?

-I think so. -The Roger Callaway?

From the Callaway Foundation?

Yeah, that's me.

I'm Diane Barrows. I always wanted to meet you. My kids love your camp.

You have kids?

They’re not mine. I work for the East Side Children's Center.

Of course.

It was nice to meet you, Mr. Callaway.

Roger, please.

And thank you for saving my life.

And you really should put some iodine on your butt.

Cut.

Miss Barrows....

Diane.

I was wondering if I could offer you iced tea.

I’d love to hear more about the camp and how it's going.

Only if we walk.

You took the words out of my mouth.

Come on.

Now hold still.

You certainly are an angel of mercy.

-I see worse cuts than this every day. -Thanks.

My gang always invents new ways to get hurt.

-You must really love children. -What's not to love?

-No, really. -You big baby! Come here.

Is that better?

I can't hear anything!

We've got to get closer!

You know, you’re not at all what I expected.

Really? What were you expecting?

Blue blood, for one thing.

I thought you’d be some rich, big, old, fat geezer who smokes cigars.

Really? I made my money the old-fashioned way. Pure dumb luck.

I doubt that. I swear to God.

Twelve years ago, a cell phone was something out of Star Trek.

But I thought it was pretty cool, so I bought airspace.

Get out!

That's, like, money out of thin air!

You'll notice I don't carry one. I hate them.

Excuse me. Miss Kensington, boss.

She insists.

Excuse me. It's my-- Miss Kensington.

How you doing?

How am I doing?

Please, honey, look.

Do you have any idea what your daughter has done?

-No, what? -She spit--

Gum? In your hair?

Are you sure?

Am I sure? Oh, my God! You should see it!

I'm certain it wasn't intentional.

Look, of course. You've had a rough day.

Rough is a broken nail, darling.

What I’ve had is a train wreck!

Just try to calm down. I'll speak to her.

I'm just going to go now.

Just one second. One second, please.

What? Is there a woman there with you?

Yes, there's sort of a woman here. She's from the camp.

How delightful! I'm in the middle of a crisis...

...and you’re having a bachelor party!

I'm in a meeting. That's all. It's just a meeting.

No, we're not going to have dinner. There's nothing going to go on--

Please. I'll see you at the end of the week.

Me too. Bye-bye.

I'm so sorry.

Sorry about that!

But she squeezed me so hard, it just sort of popped out.

I don't think she likes me much.

She's been looking forward to meeting you for months.

Do you know how much she loves kids?

No. Do you?

Well, you are the first kid I’ve ever seen her with.

But I'm sure it's a bunch.

And you love her, right?

Like that "Can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars...

...over the fence, World Series" kind of stuff?

Is that what the dictionary says?

You're marrying her because Alyssa needs, I mean...

...I need a mother?

I think that's enough questions for today.

Wait. I only got one left.

Let's have it.

Who was that pretty woman out on the patio?

The Roger Callaway?

On a white horse, no less.

So? He comes riding up, saves my life.

He's probably worth billions. Totally cute.

Oh, my God! He is so cute.

To top it all off... ...he's, honest to God, a nice guy.

I'm stupid enough to think he's available.

-Isn't he? -No.

Is too.

How would you know? Was he wearing a ring?

Even if he was available, he wouldn't be interested in me.

Don't put yourself down.

Guys like him like girls with food names.

Cookie, Muffin... ...Candy.

They don't marry girls like me.

He did once.

Is this published somewhere?

Her name was Cathy. She wasn't a food, but a teacher.

He's even more perfect than I thought.

I'm cheating. Give me one of those.

Give me that stick.

Vincenzo, do you believe in magic?

Like card tricks?

No, sparks between two people.

It happens when you least expect it.

Why do you ask?

No reason. It's been so long since Cathy and....

I didn't think it'd happen again.

That Miss Kensington is really something.

Well, actually... ...that's not who I meant.

I know.

You're my best man. You're supposed to come up with words of wisdom now.

Why don't you go for a drive?

See where you end up.

Now, where's he going?

It's the home office.

The Butkises want Amanda. The paperwork just went through.

Who the hell is this?

Diane Barrows. Since when does your department okay an adoption...

...without the caseworker's report?

I know these people are nice.

Have you ever met those people?

These people collect kids. They’ll take anybody.

Where is Diane Barrows?

I think she's in the office.

Let me just run this by you one more time.

Just hear me out one more time.

I know I don't make that much money. And I know I'm a little bit single.

But I want to adopt Amanda.

Are you laughing at me? He's laughing at me!

You stupid jerk!

What?

Oh, it's you.

Is this a bad time? A bad time?

For a meeting?

No, I'm having a problem with one of my kids.

Anything I can do?

You've already saved my life. What can I do for you?

I want to apologize for yesterday.

It was very rude. I shouldn't have taken that call.

I’d like to make it up.

Okay, then give me your car.

Perhaps we could discuss it at a pizza joint I saw in town.

I'm sorry, I can't.

I understand. Maybe some other time, then.

No, it's not like that.

I'm on duty today in the mess hall. It's my kids' turn to serve.

Oh, I see.

If your heart's set on Italian, you could join us.

We're having... ...macaroni and cheese.

And peach cobbler?

Oh, yeah. All you can eat.

Darling, Craig can meet the president on Sunday.

I need bridesmaids!

You must come.

Fabulous!

There's my other line. Love you. Mean it. Ciao.

Bernard.

Why do you keep bothering me with numbers? It's my wedding.

Whatever it costs, just get it!

It's a cozy little spot!

When were you last here?

It must be 1 0 years!

Ten years?

Did you build the camp and never come back?

No, it was my wife's idea. She had a big heart.

Had?

She passed away when Alyssa was born.

Sorry.

I just never could come back. Until now, that is.

Here you go!

Hey, Carmen. Where's Amanda?

I don't know. One minute she's behind me....

Would you get her? I want to introduce her to somebody.

I'm having the hardest time keeping tabs on her. She keeps running off.

Tell me about it. I got one just like her at home.

What are you doing?

I'm cleaning this window. Look at it. It's filthy.

Diane wants to see you. Come on.

Hey, my hat!

Do something, Alyssa!

Here she comes.

My compliments to the chef.

Amanda, take that thing off.

Let her keep it on. It might be the latest thing.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Did you just snort?

I suppose you think this is funny?

Well, maybe you’ll get a little chuckle out of this.

You wouldn't dare!

Food fight!

That was great!

I couldn't have done it better myself.

I almost had a heart attack.

I guess that's what they mean by "eat and run."

We need doggie bags.

Oh, dear. Look at me. I am covered in cobbler.

You look good in peach.

Leave it. I may still be hungry.

I can't believe you hit me with the butter.

I didn't start it. You just talk to that short-order cook of yours.

Oh yeah. Where is she, anyway?

Look at your head.

lf you want to get cleaned up, there's showers over there.

I’ve got a better idea. Will you excuse me?

And maybe hold some of that? Pardon me.

What's wrong with him?

Beats me. I've never seen him act like this.

I think he's gone mental.

He's got a lot on his mind.

Don't you know not to swim after you eat?

Oh, yeah. I forgot. I got a cramp!

I can't swim!

No fair. I saved you.

It's too cold. I'm not going in there.

Come on! I don't want to save you right now.

All right, buster. You better be worth it.

You're not funny.

Oh, my God!

Say...

...a guy could drown waiting for you.

Callaway, I'm going to kill you!

Bonzai!

Roger, I am going to kill you!

It's working. Look at them.

Now that's more like it.

Roger, darling? Anyone home?

Miss Kensington! What a surprise. We weren't expecting you.

Yes, I know. Where's Roger?

Mr. Callaway is out for the afternoon.

I see.

Would you please tell him I wish to speak with him?

Yes, ma'am. Thank you so much.

I'd like a Diet Coke.

One Diet Coke, coming up.

With lime.

Awfully early in the day to be looking at stars.

What do we have here?

You can't always be this much fun. It wouldn't be fair.

Trust me. I haven't done this in years.

Well, it feels good.

It feels better every second.

-Don't move. -Why?

There's a thing. What do you mean "a thing"?

A bug?

A dreaded maraschino bug.

It's highly poisonous.

And you wanted to go for pizza.

I almost didn't come over at all.

I'm glad you did.

What was that?

-It's a sign. -What do you mean "a sign"?

I don't know. I think I know what you mean.

It's your Miss Kensington, right?

I'm getting married next month.

Well, of course you are!

So what was this? Just sort of a last fling?

I didn't know. I was hoping to find out.

Don't worry about it. I can help you out.

It was nice to meet you. And thanks for the camp.

Oh, by the way, congratulations!

Diane, please.

You know what? This just kills me.

We might've hit this one out of the park.

It was there. I know it.

That "can't eat, can't sleep...

...reach for the stars, over the fence...

...World Series" kind of thing.

Oh, well.

I've got to get a dictionary.

They were so close!

Grownups, they think too much.

I give up.

No, we mustn't!

And why mustn't we?

Because third time's a charm. Right?

Right.

Boss! It's Miss Kensington.

Thanks. I'll take it down here.

Not here. Up there.

Up there? Afraid so.

Roger, darling!

Clarice! Your hair. You're here!

What did you do? Fall in the lake?

It's the funniest thing-- Shouldn't you be in New York?

I couldn't bear to be away a moment longer.

You were just gone a day.

I know! And I was positively miserable the entire time.

So I've decided we mustn't wait another day.

To what?

To be married, silly. Next month seems like an eternity.

When two people are as much in love as we...

...I say, "What's wrong with tomorrow"?

Tomorrow?

Darling, you haven't said a word about my hair.

Okay, listen to this.

"Dear Roger. You are so totally fresh.

Just thinking about you drives me mental.

Meet me where we met with the horses.

Seven o'clock tonight. Love, Diane. "

How's that? Very romantic.

Want to hear mine?

"Dear Diane....

Dear Diane, ever since I saw you riding the horse...

...I can't stop thinking about it.

And I know we were disturbed at the lake...

...but I must see you again where I saved your life, at 7:30.

Yours truly, Roger Callaway. "

There you are, my little gum-chewing assailant.

You're back! What? No big hug "hello"?

-You're not supposed to be here. -In a perfect world, neither are you.

We're leaving for the city.

Right now? It's too soon!

Maybe I didn't make myself clear.

We're leaving tonight.

This little act of yours is getting old.

What act?

Oh, please.

When I was your age, I’d been through three stepmothers.

I know all the lengths girls go through to keep Daddy all to themselves.

You got that all wrong, lady.

Alyssa, don't be rude. I'm talking.

Where was l? Oh, yes.

You had Roger to yourself for nine wonderful years.

But after tomorrow, I'm the woman of the house.

And you’re off to an ear-round boarding school.

Possibly in Tibet.

Did you say tomorrow?

Should I have come here?

Yes, stupid.

He's only worth about $20 billion, for God's sakes!

Great! Now I'm just after him for his money.

How shallow is that?

I liked him before I knew he was rich.

So I should've come here.

He's a little bit engaged.

I've never met her, so maybe that doesn't count.

Come on, ladies. Perk up.

Come on, Amanda! We're missing the fireworks!

This is Miss Van Dyke from Children's Services.

Hello there.

I believe I have some very good news for you.

Come to Mama, sweetheart!

I feel pretty ding-dang-dong stupid.

But my name's Amanda!

Alyssa, stop it.

Come on, honey.

Do we have to listen to this the whole way?

Oh, great. Now I'm going to be road kill.

Wait a minute! What are you doing?

Damn!

You were supposed to protect her!

You could've slit their tires! Anything!

They had paperwork. What paperwork?

We couldn't find you.

Did you want us to lie in front of the van?

I would have.

I'm taking the Jeep.

That's the camp's.

Oh, don't you keep me here!

Lots of tie-ups. It's 20 minutes for the Lincoln.

Ten for the Holland. The BQE is backed up for two miles.

If you’re taking the Van Wyck, allow an extra 15.

Just stay out of midtown.

It'll be wall-to-wall limos, as Clarice Kensington...

...finally lands her man.

Now, these nincompoops are your new brothers and sisters.

From the left, you got... ...Bubba, Bridget, Brenda...

...Bonnie, Billу, Bobby, Ben...

...and little Harry, Jr.

Now, he's ours.

There's been a big mistake.

You see, my name is not Amanda.

We know that, honey. You do?

Sure. And you will never have to be Amanda again.

That's right. Because from now on, you’re going to be...

...Little Betty Butkis.

Give Betty some Coco Puffs.

And after breakfast...

...we're going to go down and see where your daddy works.

Isn’t that going to be fun?

Callaway residence. One moment, please.

Miss Callaway, it's for you.

Hello, this is Miss Callaway.

I can't talk long. It's me.

Or should I say...

...Betty Butkis.

Oh, no! I'm adopted?

Are those guys scary or what?

What happened yesterday?

Are you sitting down? Yeah, kind of.

Clarice moved up the wedding.

Your dad's getting married...

...in two hours and 1 2 minutes.

-What do we do now? -I don't know.

But it'll have to be something major.

And quick. You've got to get me out of here.

These people aren't just scary, they’re--

New kids aren't allowed to use the phone. Butkis rules.

Hey, Vin. You've been taking care of Alyssa all her life, right?

Oh, no, Alyssa. Not again. Answer the question.

Yes. From the day she was-- From the day you were born.

So you know pretty well everything about her?

Every freckle, every bruise... ...every scar?

You could say that.

Bet you don't remember this one, do you?

No, that one escapes me.

Broken bottle sliding into home.

This one?

Rusty nail right through my shoe.

Bled for six blocks.

How about here? Ever seen this?

When was that?

Roman candle last Fourth of July. Right in the head.

My God! You're not Alyssa!

Nope. Name's Amanda. Put her there.

Identical strangers?

Holy mackerel, it's amazing!

Yeah. And it's weird too.

But if you’re here with us, then Alyssa is....

In a lot of trouble.

-I got to tell Mr. Callaway. -Oh, no.

Wait! You can't tell him yet.

We got to get him to see Diane before the wedding.

They’ll fall in love, and Clarice will be history.

Where the hell is everybody?

I sure hope you got a plan.

What are you doing here?

I came for Mr. Callaway’s daughter, Alyssa.

You got her. I want her back.

What are you talking about?

I don't have her. I don't even know her.

Yes, you do.

This is Alyssa Callaway.

No, you’d better get your eyes checked because...

...this is a little girl named Amanda.

This is уour Amanda.

Oh, my God!

Look, they’re identical.

This is amazing.

Yeah. And it's weird too.

I understand... ...that through some simple mix-up...

...that Alyssa is in the care of Child Services.

I've been authorized to tell you...

...that if I get her back, there'll be no legal entanglements.

She's not exactly with me here.

She's been....

Well, she was adopted.

Then you better un-adopt her quick.

Mr. Callaway’s getting married in 90 minutes.

He's expecting his real daughter there.

Ninety minutes?

I can't get to Staten Island and back in 90 minutes.

Well, could I suggest that you go really, really fast?

Here lf you get into any trouble...

...call this number. Ask for Lou.

Lou who?

Well, hey. Look at this mess.

Clean it up.

You clean it.

Put a cork in it, okay? He's management.

My father's Roger Callaway...

...and when he finds out what you’re doing here...

...he's going to buy this whole town and kick you out of it.

Roger Callaway? Then how come you ain't at his wedding?

Come on, Diane. You can do it.

We might have to stall a bit.

How?

How should I know? You're the brains of this operation.

I must be crazy. But I am not going in that church.

No matter what happens, I am not going in that church.

It's only natural to be nervous.

-I was thinking about the World Series. -Baseball?

Did you ever hit a home run?

Not recently.

You know when it's bottom of the ninth...

...the bases are loaded...

...and you know the next one's coming right down the middle?

And then...

...you just connect.

And for an instant...

...you know that it's going over the fence and out of the park...

...further than you could ever imagine.

Yeah, that's a great feeling.

Clarice hates baseball.

Come on, Sea Biscuit. Don't fail me now.

Hello! Hello!

You looking for a Butkis?

You looking for a Butkis?

Yes, I am. Do you know where he is?

At the salvage yard, where else?

Harry works those kids to the bone.

What?

Why do you think he's got so many?

Can I use your phone?

Yeah, sure. No charge.

We've been looking for you... ...Your Highness.

Leave me alone!

But Your Majesty... ...we brought you something.

Yeah, something to make you feel... ...more at home.

I knew somebody in this church would have a Prozac.

What is taking so long?

Relax. Enjoy the moment.

This is the happiest day of your life.

I'm happy. Don't I look happy?

This is me happy! See?

Happy, happy, happy!

Let's get the show on the road!

Here's your royal throne... ...Alyssa Callaway.

Hail, Betty. Queen of the scrap heap.

Hail, Betty!

My name's Alyssa Callaway!

Yeah, right. And I'm Princess Di.

Attention, Harry Butkis.

We're here to pick up Alyssa Callaway.

All you kids in the yard, stand clear. We're coming in.

Told you!

Alyssa Callaway? I've got to get you to that church.

That is my kid!

Out of my way, piece of junk!

I would love to kill you...

...before I turn you over to Social Services.

Alyssa, go ahead. Hurry!

Oh, God!

Hi. How you doing? Good to see you.

Hi, Granny. Nice hat. Thanks for coming.

Get moving!

Any slower and she'd be walking backwards.

She's just not herself today.

We'll never make it. We only have 1 0 minutes.

So Lou, how close can you land this thing to the church?

Central Park close enough?

Central Park? The Central Park?

That'll do.

Who would've thought my first girl would be the last to get married?

Shut up!

Enough of this.

I'm here. Let's do it.

We are gathered here in the sight of God...

...to join in holy matrimony...

...Clarice and Roger.

I'm not going in the church. I'm not going in the church.

Oh, no. Not another horse.

Come on!

Fine!

Where is the driver?

Hey, buddy!

Take us to St. Bart's. It's an emergency.

Yeah? So’s this. I'm on my break!

Thank you for all your help, bud.

That's my horse!

Faster, horsey, faster!

To have and to hold, for richer or poorer...

...in sickness and health, as long as you live?

I do. I really do. Now him.

Hit the brakes! Hit the brakes!

-Hang on! -I'm hanging on!

What street's it on again?

54th and Park.

Are we there yet? Almost!

Signal!

And do you, Roger... ...take this woman, Clarice...

...to be your lawful wedded wife?

To have and to hold... ...for richer, for poorer...

...and in sickness and in health...

...as long as you both shall live?

Oh, God! We made it.

Aren't you coming?

No, I think I'll just wait for Amanda out here.

Diane Barrows!

Get your butt up here... ...this instant!

I'll stand in the back... ...and take a little look-see.

l....

l....

I can't.

Excuse me? What did you say?

I'm so sorry. I can't.

I should've said something earlier.

I'm in love with someone else.

I guess I deserve that.

This is all your fault!

Lady... ...if you touch that child...

...I'll pop you one, so help me God.

Oh, my God! There's two of them!

It's a conspiracy!

Well, at least I'll get to hit one of you.

Back off, Barbie!

And by the way...

...you have a little bit of something on your teeth.

I have never been more humiliated in my life!

Want to bet?

Oh my God!

About time you showed up.

We got here soon as we could.

Hi, Daddy.

Impossible.

Nothing's impossible. Right, Alyssa?

You got that right.

Wait, if you’re... ...my....

Who are you?

Name's Amanda. Put her there. I'm with her.

Well, I guess we're even.

What do you mean?

You saved my life.

Sorry. I didn't want the wrong girl to go down the aisle.

I mean, the wrong flower girl.

You had it right the first time.

Told you. Third time's a charm.

Wait a minute. All of this was your doing?

It was, was it?

Well, ladies, what do you have to say for yourselves?

So kiss already!

-Put her there. -Sister.

And it's a high flуball...

...over the left field wall.

Excuse me. This gentleman claims...

...that the ladies stole his buggy.

He's right. We did!

You did go out of your way.

It was her idea.

I’d like you to ask that nice gentleman if he'd sell.

I don't care how much. That horse deserves a house in the country.

I trust we can make some kind of arrangement.

Girls, what do you say we do a little sightseeing?

And then you girls can tell us the whole story.

Driver, once around the park, if you please.

It’ll be my pleasure, boss.

Walk on, Duke!
