Without them, theworst we could get is a

stolen car. Wrap itwith him, the works.

You're supposed tobe the big brains of this

Then I'll come back and get you.

That'll be nice andwarm and dry in a station.

You can sleep theretill they find you.

You and me both.

Look, why don't you justcome over here like this?

Close your eyes.

I'll tell you a story about that

gingerbread man there.You want to hear it?

Okay.

Once that was a gingerbread man.

He didn't have nomama papa like you.

He just sort of willie. Hesort of run around, you know.

Well, this gingerbreadman, he'd go walking along,

trying to make friends andget a job and everything.

But everybody he metwanted to eat the gingerbread

man up. Naturally, hedidn't go for the idea.

He meet a guy and askhim for a job. And a guy just

give me the evil eye.

And say gingerbread man, I'mgoing to eat you up. He'd run away.

He'd b*at another guy andthe same thing had happened.

And pretty soon, he makes a mistake.

He gets fearless, tired.

Somebody gets him.

[music]

Don't even know he's alive gingerbread man. And...

Gee that was alousy story wasn't it.

See, gingerbread mendon't have no mamas

and papas to takecare of them like you do.

Okay okay.

I ain't gonna leave you.

Come on.

We'll bust into the joint together.

[music]

[telephone ringing]

Oh thank God. They found him.

-Oh, Phil.-Come on, Betty come on.

Yes.

Door opening.

Everything is going tobe alright right now, son.

How did you got it?

I picked him up with thiskid here coming up to the

bank of the station. He'sone of them. His name is Joe.

Why you good fornothing little pump.

Take it easy, Phil.

Sheriff.

Did you.

Did you think hebrought him here?

Yes ma'am.

Why?

Why did you bring him back?

I don't know.

Look, do you have to havea reason for everything?

Usually

yeah.

Have you any idea whatyou put us through? My

poor wife there wasabout out of her mind. Joe.

Phil, we understandI'll take it easy.

-Get them out of here before I-Alright.

If you folks have justsigned this complaint, then

you can be on yourway. I'll take it from there.

[music]

Here Betty.

I can't sign that, Phil.

Why not?

Now look here. This boy has

committed a seriouscriminal offense.

All I know is hebrought my son back.

Alright, Mike,then it's up to you.

This one of the kidsthat robbed you?

I told your sheriffnobody took nothing.

But you said they had a g*n.

Well, one man had g*n on me,but this fella knocked his arm down.

You heard thatfolks. Will you sign the

complaint now it allties up. The car, the kid.

Sheriff.

Suppose I loaned him the car.

Supposing Billy went alongjust for the ride. Didn't mug him.

But you didn't. He's a criminal.

I don't think a criminal will take achance on bringing Billy back here.

What's gotten into you, Betty?Why are you talking like this?

I'm not sure. But

he says he doesn't knowwhy he brought Billy back here.

Well, I think maybe I do.

Because it was adecent thing to do.

Well, just something inhim made him do it, that's all.

And I want us to be decent too.

I want to give him the samechance he gave Bill, that's all.

And I want to thank himfor treating my son kindly.

Oh Bill, look at Billy's face.

Doesn't that prove that I'm right?

[music]

She is right, Sheriff.

Come on.
