## Dialogue

    [Norby and Veeko are cleaning Eddie up for accidentally fell off the building]
    Veeko: You okay?
    Norby: Eddie. When we first seen you fall, our first thoughts were with you and your family, should you not survive.
    Veeko: I prayed, Eddie.
    Eddie: Shut up!
    Veeko: I worked at Burger King three years. This is worse than that.
    Eddie: Don't blame me. We'd be resting easy if Butterfingers here hadn't lost the kid.
    Norby: I lost the kid? I lost the kid?! Oh, well, that's news to me.
    Eddie: Who putted himself to sleep reading the kid's nursery story?!
    Norby: Who left the window open?!
    Veeko: That was me.
    Eddie: You idiots are why we don't got the kid. As far as I'm concerned, you can drop out and I'll keep the five million myself. Frankly, you don't deserve a penny!
    Veeko: You'd stiff us?
    Norby: Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Don't get hot, Eddie. Don't get hot. We're all just tired from getting torn apart.
    Eddie: Oh, like I like to fall off buildings and jump in ditches! That's the breaks. We're dealing with a baby. Babies are obviously more dangerous than we thought.
    Norby: It don't figure, Eddie. They're so small.
    Eddie: When I boxed, the guys I most feared were those who feared nothing. Babies are like that, they ain't afraid of nothing. [they notice Bink's foot tracks] Baby tracks.
    Bennington: [picking up the phone] Hello.
    Joe Depke: Hello. Is this Mr. Cotwell?
    Bennington: Yes. Who is this?
    Joe Depke: My name's Depke. Joe. Joe Depke. Yeah. Listen, I might have some information on the whereabouts of that child.
    Norm: I seen the baby.
    Agent Dale Grissom: Where?
    Norm: Right across the street on the curb.
    Agent Dale Grissom: Where'd he go?
    Norm: Where'd he go? It's the craziest thing, I don't remember.
    Agent Dale Grissom: Maybe we'll take a ride. See if you remember then.
    Bennington: Can I help? You want money? How much?
    Norm: Don't embarrass me. Don't insult me. Please, your money's no good here. Put it away.
    Bennington: Where's the baby?
    Norm: House across the street. Second floor. McCrays. [sees Laraine, heads into McCrays' house] No guarantee! Listen, mister, I didn't know your kid! I just saw his picture on TV! I called because I care.
    Mr. Andrews: Your name's McCray?
    Mrs. McCray: Yeah. What did I do?
    Mr. Andrews: We're looking for a missing child.
    Mrs. McCray: These are my kids.
    Mr. Andrews: Mind if we take a look? [enters the room]
    Agent Dale Grissom: Hello, ma'am.
    Young Girl: [waves at Larine] Hi.
    Mr. Andrews: Sir, in here.
    [They head into another room, Larine discovers the same baby similar to Bink]
    Laraine: Baby. [watches in him in happiness] You have a beautiful little boy.
    Mrs. McCray: Thank you, ma'am. I'll pray he comes back to you. These kids are all I've got, so I know how I'd feel if I was in your place.
    Laraine: I hope you never are, for your children's sake.
    Agent Dale Grissom: Sorry, we inconvenienced you.
    Bennington: Be there in a second. I'm sorry for the trouble.
    Mrs. McCray: Sir? I believe in my heart that someone somewhere watches over the babies.
    Bennington: Yes, I hope so.
    Norby: Did a baby get off this bus?! A little guy, about two feet tall! It's an emergency!
    Bus Driver: I didn't have nobody today with a baby.
    Norby: He was by himself!
    Veeko: [noticing Bink is on Ursala's purse] Some people.
    Norby: Eddie, how could he get off?
    Veeko: I seen him.
    Both: What?!
    Veeko: He's in the big broad's purse.
    Veeko: Hey, Eddie, maybe he went down a rabbit hole.
    Eddie: We're serious about our work. You wanna make jokes? Join the circus.
    Cop 1: Have you guys seen a baby around here?
    Eddie: The park is full of...babies.
    Cop 2: Yeah, well, there's been a kidnapping.
    Norby: Well, that's a crying shame. It's amazing what people will do for money.
    Veeko: Yeah, for five million...
    Eddie: If we see anything... [Baby Bink turns on the lighter] Excuse me. If we see anything, we'll be sure to notify... [absolutely moans]
    Cop 2: He's got a bad heart.
    Eddie: Excuse me. The police. Thank you.
    [At the construction site, Eddie is stuck with a hook while holding on it]
    Eddie: [calls for help] Norby! Veeko!
    Veeko: Hey! We're down here!
    Norby: Hey, Ed! We better go before I dry!
    Veeko: Ed, can you see the baby from up there? Just hang on and we'll come on up. I got an idea.
    Agent Dale Grissom: We got some news. I don't know if it's good, but it's not bad. Since the media broke the story, calls have come in. There was a report of a man looking for a baby on a bus this morning. A baby missing from a department store care center. Another, at three o'clock, at the zoo. Shortly after that, at a downtown park. And a final report not long ago at...
    Gilbertine: [realizing] A building under construction.
    Agent Dale Grissom: [surprised] Yeah, that's right.
    Gilbertine: He's doing everything in the book. I know where he is. "Before returning home for supper, Nanny and Baby Boo stopped at the Old Soldiers' Home to visit Mr. Tinsel." That's where he is.
    Bennington: You had quite an adventure today.
    Baby Bink: Boo boo.
    Bennington: Boo boo?
    Gilbertine: It's what he calls his book. He lost it today.
    Laraine: We'll get you another one, sweetheart.
    Baby Bink: Boo boo!
    Laraine: What? Oh, I see. That's nice.
    Baby Bink: Boo boo.
    Laraine: That's not a boo boo. That's a clock. A ticktock. Was there a ticktock in his book?
    Gilbertine: No. Well, he's pointing to...His boo boo, he's not pointing at the ticktock, he's pointing to his boo boo, he wants his boo boo.
    Grissom: I thought he was getting a new boo boo.
    Laraine: He means his boo boo's back there, that's where he's been.
    Grissom: Radio Rogers and McCloskey, tell them we're going to the ticktock to get the boo boo, and send for backup.
    Norby: Hey, Eddie, you sure you don't wanna go check to see if they left the money?
    Eddie: Oh, that's a good idea. We get the living hell tore out of us by a baby! Three fully grown men versus fifteen pounds of pink flesh with a mouth. Now, what chance have we got of strolling into that alley and coming out with anything less than one and forty years in prison?
    Veeko: No way.
    Eddie: No, thank you! This is a hexed situation. We walk away while we're still ahead.
    Veeko: We took a licking and kept on ticking.
    Eddie: We'll go back to banks. Dealing with grownups, I don't want no kiddy stuff.
    Norby: We did all right with banks.
    Veeko: Or a convenience store once in a while, keeps things interesting.
    Eddie: [to Norby and Veeko] You know, I tell you one thing I learned from all this, I ain't never gonna have any kids of my own.
    Norby: Yeah, seeing as you burnt down the only tree in your forest, I wouldn't worry about it.
    Eddie: [about Bink] Why don't you shut up? I don't wanna ever hear another word about that rotten, snake-bit baby.
    [Last lines]
    Laraine: Good night, sweetheart.
    Bennington: Good night, Bink.
    [They turn off the lights and close the door]
    Laraine: Did I tell you? The baby's having his picture taken tomorrow.
    Bennington: Say hello to old Willy.
    Laraine: I will.
    [Bink wakes up, gets ready to read another book, this one entitled "Baby's Trip to China", much to his overjoy]
