[bunniefuu]

[Train whistle blows]

[Train's bell ringing]

[Band playing]

Ladies and gentlemen...

At : this afternoon,

There will be a
demonstration of this,

The world's most
modern fire engine...

Laura: pa, can we
ride on the balloon?

Nellie oleson
says she's going to.

Caroline: laura, nellie
oleson says a lot of things.

Charles: I'm not so sure I
want to see my girls dangling

A thousand feet above my head.

Besides, if the handbills
are right, it's a dollar a ride.

Maybe it's half-price
for children.

Ha! Don't worry. You'll
have a good time anyway.

Man: ladies and gentlemen,

At : this afternoon,

There will be a
demonstration of this,

The world's most modern
piece of firefighting equipment.

Remember, : .

Boy: mary!

Mary!

Mary!

Mary: hi, patrick.

Patrick: hello,
mr. And mrs. Ingalls.

Caroline: patrick,
what a surprise.

Don't think it's that much
of a surprise, caroline.

You here with
your folks, patrick?

No, sir.

I got me a ride yesterday
and camped overnight.

I got a job, too,
except it's a surprise,

So I won't tell you about it,

But I already earned $ . ,

And you can go on any
ride you want to, mary.

Well, that is, if your
parents give you permission.

Well, I don't think you'll have any
trouble getting our permission, patrick.

Well, thank you, sir.

I got to go now.

I'll meet you in minutes

Over at the balloon
stand, all right?

- All right.
- See ya.

- See ya.
- Ok, patrick.

- "See ya."
- Laura, stop it.

Laura: "laura, stop it."

Ma, will you please
tell laura to...

Laura: "ma, will
you please tell..."

Caroline: laura, stop it!

I want you two to spend

As little time as
possible with each other.

Well, that's fine with me.

Me, too.

Why don't you
get your entries in

While I put the team
up at the livery?

- Yes, sir.
- Where should we meet?

The balloon
stand's a good place.

All right. Balloon stand it is.

Here you go. Cents
for each one of you.

- Thanks, pa.
- What about me?

Caroline: you're not going
anywhere by yourself, young lady.

You're coming with me.

- Can we go now, pa?
- Yeah, go ahead.

Watch out. Be
careful of yourselves,

And no arguing if you happen
to see each other on a runway.

Yes, sir.

Caroline: whoo!

[Band playing]

Man: come on over, kids.

Come one, come all.

Come on over and
ride my carousel.

It's only cents,
one big nickel.

Come on over,
kids. All of ya. Big...

Carrie: ma, I want
to ride one of them.

In a little while, carrie.

I have to enter
my pickles first.

Man: it goes round and
round. It's only a nickel.

Big and little... All of ya... Come
on over and ride the carousel.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

It just goes around in a circle.

Man: come and ride my carousel.

It's only cents,
one big nickel.

Come on over, kids.
Come one, come all.

Come on over and
ride my carousel.

It's only cents, one big
nickel. Come on over, kids.

Hello.

Well, caroline. How
nice to see you here.

Hello, honey.

- Good to see you.
- Well, my.

What are you entering, dear?

Oh, bread-and-butter pickles
and cauliflower and pearl onions.

Oh, well, my.

What a coincidence.

I'm entering my
cauliflower buds, too,

And my pickles in
these pastel jars.

I believe in pleasing the eye

As well as the palate.

Ha ha!

Uh, these jars...

Aren't they the jars

That you had your
jellies in last year?

I've washed them since.

Oh, excuse me, sir.
I'm terribly sorry.

[Indistinct talking]

Man: step right this way, folks.

[Crowd cheers]

Step right this way, folks.
She'll be set up another...

Man: that's it! Oop!

Keep pitching.

Oh, we have got another winner!

That's like I said,

There's a winner every time!

Come on, folks.

There went our winner.

Here's one for
your little sister.

How about you, sir?

All it takes is in
a row and you win.

I'll try one.

Hey, here goes one.
Here goes one, sir.

Just put a dime in the hat.

There we go. Now we're
gonna have a winner.

Here. Ok! Here we go now!

All right, just hit the dolly

Between the eyes
and win the big one.

Hey, excuse me, sir.

You've got to hit
the dolly to win.

I know.

It just takes in a row.

The little boy just won one.

He's about .

Ok. Here goes one.

Hey! Oh, excuse me.

You've got to hit
the little dolly.

That's the only way you can win.

I know about that. I
know about the -year-old.

Just... Just... Just don't
talk. I need to concentrate.

Charles: hey, nels.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hey, how you doing?
Having any luck?

Well, not... Not
very much, I'm afraid.

I'm just going to that
wild jackass riding contest.

Want to come along?

Oh, I'd love to.

I know harriet's not
gonna be over there.

Hey, you ought to
enter it. It's a lot of fun.

Nels: oh, charles. I
don't know about that.

Charles: come on. Give it a try.

Woman: stop, thief!
He stole my bag!

Man: there he goes!
Somebody, grab him quick!

Woman: somebody, do something!

Man: we got him! We
got him! Woman: my bag!

Second man: hold him down!

[Woman shouting]

Crowds always draw pickpockets.

Spoils your faith in the
human race, doesn't it?

It certainly does.

Man: tries for a nickel.
Hit the target and...

Planning on taking that
balloon ride, charles?

Oh, no. Not me.

[Carnival music playing]

Mary: uh, sir!

Excuse me.

Well, if there's
something I can do for you,

You just name it.

Well, I'm looking for a boy.

He's years old and, uh...

Oh, I'd say about this tall.

No, no, no, no.

That should be the
other way around.

He should be the one looking
for such a pretty thing as you.

Well, I think maybe he is.

You see, we were
supposed to meet here,

And, well, I'm late,

And I thought he might
have gone to see where I was.

Well, if it was
me, I'd have waited.

Was he here?

, You said?

Uh-huh.

Come up to my shoulder, like...

Mop of blond hair...

Name of patrick, would it be?

You know him?

Sure. He works here, same as me.

He works for the balloonist?

Oh, that he does.

And more's the pity, the way
that man has the two of us slaving.

Oh.

But he's a terror, that man...

A liar and a braggart

And a devil with the ladies,

If you'll excuse the expression.

Now, if I were you,

As soon as patrick gets here,

I'd go off from this place
and never set eyes on it again.

Well, if he's such
a terrible man,

Why do you work for him?

Well, maybe I am
stretching it a bit.

Like, I've never seen him
eat babies, as some claim.

Oh, you're teasing me.

- Me?
- Ha ha ha!

Tease such a pretty lass as you?

I'd sooner cut my heart out

If I hadn't lost
it to you already.

[Sighs]

Oh, but here comes
your patrick now.

If you'll excuse me,
I have work to do.

Uh, but do like I said.

Run off with patrick
before it's too late.

[Giggles]

[Man laughs]

Um, I'm sorry I'm late, mary.

What's the matter?

Well, I lost all my money.

I can't take you anywhere.

I can't buy you anything.

I wanted to.

- Lost it? How?
- I don't know.

It must have been
when I spilled the wood.

The barrel hit a rut,

And the darn thing tipped over.

I guess it fell out of my pocket

When I was picking the wood up.

Hey, don't worry about
the money, patrick.

I mean, looking at things can
be almost as much fun as buying.

Looking at ice creams and sodas?

Oh, look. I got some money.

I wouldn't let
you spend it on me.

Don't be silly.

Aw, come on.

Let's start looking anyway, huh?

Oh, but do you
have to stay here?

Well, I have to be here
minutes before the next show,

But, well, that's not
for another hour.

Well, then let's go.

Man: oh, no, you don't.

I warned you, my pretty one,

And you didn't heed me,
so now you'll suffer.

It's only cass, mary. He's
always playing tricks like that.

Oh, patrick, lad...

I couldn't help
hearing your sad tale,

But I'm taking it on
myself to make amends.

Now...

You can earn yourself another
quarter by handing these out.

But no dumping, mind, for I'm
onto the ways of you youngsters.

Meanwhile...

I'll look after
your lady for you.

Mary...

You shall be my guest

For sodas, ice cream,

Candied apples, rides...

Whatever your
lovely heart desires.

Now, what do you say to that?

Well, i... I don't know. I...

You go ahead. I...
I'll get it done fast.

You sure?

Of course he is.

Now, come along now.

See you soon, patrick.

[Music playing]

Ladies and gentlemen,

Our color bearer was
mr. Harold hanson of...

Thank you.

Now, ladies and gentlemen...

Remember, I catch
him, you ride him.

Oh, charles. I don't know
what in the world I'm doing here.

Couldn't be any
worse than a ride home

If your wife doesn't
win a blue ribbon.

- Heh heh!
- You may be right.

The first man that can get on

One of these ornery critters,

Jump on his back,

Go around the barrel
and back across the line

Will win $ .

[Crowd cheers and applauds]

Are the contestants ready?

Men: yeah!

Turn out the jackasses!

[Crowd cheering]
[jackasses braying]

And here they come...

, , , ...

!

Contestants, go!

Come on!

[Braying]

Charles: whoa! Hey, come...

Whoa! Somebody... Get him, nels!

[Braying]

Nels: hold him, charles.

Hey! Oh! Whoa!

No. Wait a minute, wait a
minute. Look at the mat.

Look out! Right,
right! Hold him.

Come on, nels!

- Come on!
- Whoa!

Hold him, charles.

Hey! Uhh! Oh! Whoa!

Hey! Hey!

Look at the mat! Look out! Oh!

- Whoa!
- Right!

Hold him! Hold him, charles!

Ho... Hold him!

I... Whoa, whoa!

[Woman screams]
charles: come on, nels!

[Cheering]

Hold it! Hang on, nels! Hang on!

Oh! Oh! Whoa!

Hey! Hey!

Come on, nels! We got it!

[Braying]

Hang on, nels! Hang on!

Nels, we did it!

Ha ha!

Ha ha!

Ah, nels, you did it!

What?

You won!

I won?

Yeah! You won!

I can't believe it! I won?

Ha ha! Whoo!

Man: would you like to play?

Which one holds the
pea? Oh, what a shame.

Now, a dime is still good for a
dollar if you want to try again.

Oh, you know, the odds
are very much against you...

I am sorry.

A winner, ladies and gentlemen.

He wins times what he risked.

Thank you very
much, my good sir.

Who will be my next
lucky winner here?

Why, here's a bright
young lady now.

Now, miss, you know I'm
giving money away here.

At any moment, they may
come and cart me away

Because they think I'm mad.

Now, which holds the pea, miss?

Well, how unfortunate.
That is the second time.

Of course, now, a dime
is still good for a dollar

If you'd like to
try one more time.

Oh, she would like
to play. One more time.

This one.

Well, see here. Oh,
and how unfortunate.

Now, you know the chances
are the third time is the charm,

And very seldom we
lose times in succession.

Let's consider it now.
Would you like to go again?

She would like to go again!
Let's see what happens.

That one.

Is that it? Well, I'm so sorry.

What a streak of luck, miss.
What an incredible streak of luck.

However, this is not the rule on the
street. The easiest game in existence.

And all you must
possess is a sharp eye.

She has another dime, and we
will see what she plays here.

This one.

Oh, I can't understand it. I think
you should probably keep playing.

You would never
lose times in a row.

This is the easiest game
on the street. Let's see.

- That one.
- That one now.

You think that's it for sure?

Yeah. That's it for
sure. I know that's it.

I just can't understand it.

That pea is under there.
We know it's under there.

I think we should just keep
playing till I have all your dimes.

You have them all.

Well, if you can't pay,
then you don't play.

Please move along.
Move along now.

Mary...

Would you say yes to
something if I was to ask you?

Well, it... It depends.

Well, I've always felt
that my show lacked

A touch of charm, beauty.

Look at those lovely
glasses over there.

Of the ultimate femininity.

Now, I make a bit on the side

Selling pictures of
myself in the balloon.

You could do that for me...

And help me with my
lecture and demonstration.

Mary, you'll win the hearts
of the entire audience.

Now, what would you say to that?

Man: cold water.

Woman: aah!

Aah! Aah! Get me out of here!

Get me out of here!

Aah! I quit!

I hired you... Give me my money!

I hired you for hours.

Well, pay me for one

And find somebody else!

I've got my money down
for more throws!

If you're smart, you'll
keep him away from here,

Or you'll never get
anyone for that chair.

All right, boys.
You've had your fun.

Just keep away
from here for awhile.

My money's down for more.

Not any longer
it isn't. Off you go.

Now, there's a dollar
in it for anyone willing

To sit in that
chair for one hour.

Times out of a hundred,
they'll miss the target,

But on the tenth time,
you get an ice-cold bath.

One dollar just
for sitting in a chair.

Now, who will take me up on it?

I'll do it, mister.

Now, there's a smart young lady.

I'll pay you after
the hour is up.

Tries for a nickel.

Step right up, folks.
Test your skill.

[Band playing]

Willie, let's go.

I want to get some more apples.

Well, I'm not
gonna wait for you.

I don't care if you wait or not.

If that's the way
you feel about it...

Man: thank you.

Willie: more, please.

That'll be cents, young man.

My money's gone!

Well, so are the apples.

Better run along, young man,

Make room for paying customers.

Go run along. Run along.

Man: hit the target
and see the lady

Fall in the cold water.

Step right up, folks,
and test your skill.

Hit the red dot and give
the young lady a bath.

Step right up. Who
will have a try?

Balls.

Balls for one nickel.

Step right this way, folks.

Balls for a nickel.

Oh, here's a young lady.

Test your skill and your eye.

And near miss. One more time.

Keep going, keep going.

And one more try.

Here we go now.

Watch the young lady.
Step right up, folks.

Watch the young lady hit
the target. Here we go, folks.

Ha ha ha!

Can't you hit it, nellie?

And one more.

That's over. A bad luck
streak, but try again.

More.

[Thud]

Ha ha! You're a mile away!

Good luck.

Woman: could you
help me, please?

- Uh, coming.
- Uh, ma'am.

Ma'am, I've been waiting
here all this time.

I'm sorry. I'll be with
you in just a moment.

Ma, when can we go on the ride?

I'm sorry, carrie.

I have to get my
entries in first.

It's sure taking a long time.

I know, carrie.

Charles: caroline.

Hi. Excuse me.

Whoo! This place is packed
tighter than your pickles.

I know. I've been waiting
here all this time,

And I still haven't
got my cauliflower in.

Pa, I wanna ride.

Charles, will you take her?

I don't know how long I'll be.

Oh, I want to go to
that bull auction.

I'll tell you what. I'll
find one of the girls,

And they'll take her, all right?

Hey, good luck.

- Thank you.
- Here we go.

We'll find one of your sisters.

Nels: harriet!

Harriet, you'll never
guess what I've done!

Let go of me!

From the looks of you,

You made a jackass of yourself!

Very close, harriet.

[Balls clunking]

Too bad, little lady.

Better luck next time.

Step right up, folks.

I bet it's a fake.

I bet nobody hits the target.

Did you use up all your money?

None of your business.

You get paid for sitting there?

Dollar an hour.

Nellie, you're
right. It is a fake.

Even if you hit the
target, nothing happens.

sh*ts for a nickel and
give the lady an ice-cold bath.

Say... Oh, you guys again.

I'll tell you what I'll
do. I'll split it with you.

You will?

Yeah. All you got
to do is sit up here

And act like you're scared.

Hey, mister, is it all right

If my friend here takes
the next half-hour?

If she wants to, but
you'll only get cents.

Oh, it's all right.
I'll let her have it.

Here we go. Here
comes the ringer.

Now, watch him, folks. Tries.

Aah!

Oh! Hooray for nellie!

Laura, you tricked me!

Laura ingalls,

I'll get even with you for this!

I'm sure you will. Ha ha ha!

All right, all you have to do

Is hit the dolly again
right between the eyes.

Hey! That's ! Now one more

And you're a winner.
Hey, here we go!

Oh, boy, you've got it!

Here you go, young fella.

Who's gonna be
next? [Whistle blows]

I've given out
all the handbills.

So you have.

Well, will you look at
what grows out of thin air.

There you are,
boy. Payment in full.

Mary?

Mary, can I buy you something?

Would you like me to win
you one of those dolls?

All right.

Well, here you go. You're next.

Just put it right
in the hat there.

Here's your change, sir.

Here's your ball, sir.

Ok, now, hit the dolly

Right between the eyes.

Here we go now. Hey, watch.

Hey, there you...

Oh, you've got to hit the dolly

Right between the eyes.

Ok, here we go.

Hey, here we go. Almost.

Not quite.

Hey, here we go now!

Put her right down
through the metal there.

Here we go!

You got to knock 'em clear off.

Hey, that was a bad sh*t.

But you're gonna
be a winner anyway.

Here you go. Who's
gonna be next?

The young lady deserves
better than that.

Here you go.

Yes, sir! Here you go.

Just strike the
balls right here.

Ok, here goes one. You got 'em?

- Mm-hmm.
- Ok!

Here we go now!

Watch this one!

Now here goes one!

Hey! There went one!

Hey! Here we go now!

Right between... There we goes!

We got a winner!

We got down.

There you go, sir.

I believe it's the larger one.

I've a mind for a
soda now, mary.

What would you say to that?

Uh, patrick, lad,

You'd better start
f*ring up the balloon

For the next ascension.

Man: hey, what now?

Hey! There you go!

We've got a winner!

Here you go.

Man: tries for a nickel.

And a near miss!

One more try.

Boy, it's a near miss.

Try your luck one more
time. Almost, almost.

A very strong arm.
Watch her go, ladies.

Step right this way.
Almost hit the target.

All right. Step right up, folks.

Tries for a nickel.
Right this way.

Hit the little target and the
lady takes an ice-cold bath.

Step right up. How
about you, mister?

Come right this way.
How about you, lady?

- Hey!
- Right this way.

Half-pint? Half-pint.

Hey, I want you to take carrie

For a ride on the carousel.

Oh, pa, the balloon's
gonna go up...

Hey, now, just a minute.

We promised to
take turns, didn't we?

- Yes, sir.
- All right, then.

Got any money left?

Yes, sir. I've got
my whole cents.

Hey, good girl! All right.

You have a good
time. I'll see you.

See ya.

Man: and have a barrel of fun.

Now here's the
lady! Tries for a...

Come on, carrie.

Come on, bandit. Come on!

Man: almost, almost.

A very strong arm.
Watch her go, ladies.

Step right this way.

Who will hit the target?

All right. Step right up, folks.

Tries for a nickel.
Right this way.

Hit the little target and the
lady takes an ice-cold bath.

Step right up. How
about you, mister?

Come right this way.
How about you, lady?

Tries for a nickel.
Right this way.

Everybody tries, and
has a barrel of fun while...

Cass: now, which of
you is brave enough

And rich enough

To risk riding
the winds with me?

[Crowd murmuring]

What?

Surely one of
you big, strong men

Must have enough
intestinal fortitude

To ascend the heights with me.

You should be
ashamed of yourselves.

Why, this lovely
little lass here...

Has no fear of a mere
basket and a balloon.

- I don't?
- Into the balloon.

Into the balloon, now.

There we are.

Now we have need of
one more volunteer.

Who shall it be?

There we have one.

There's a gentleman
not afraid to risk

The voyage of his lifetime.

Thank you, sir.

And now just into the balloon.

Just step right in there.
Thank you very much.

Now, I'm sorry,
ladies and gentlemen,

But brave though
the rest of you may be,

Only of us can
ascend at one time.

Now, if you'll all
just step back.

That's it. All the way
back to the benches.

Man: hey, come on over, folks.

Come on over and
ride my carousel.

It goes round and
round. It's only a nickel.

Big and little... All of you...

Come on over and
ride the carousel.

Oh, my, carrie.
Look at that line.

You're going to have to wait
an awful long time for a ride.

You sure you still want to stay?

I'm sure.

All right.

[expl*si*n]

That means the balloon
show is going to start soon.

Wouldn't you rather see that?

No.

I'll tell you what...

You stay here. I'll
be back in a minute.

I just want to see
the balloon go up.

Ok. Now, you wait here, promise?

All right.

At least you didn't leave me.

Not you, too!

[expl*si*n]

[Bandit barks]

Cass: let's be off!

[Crowd cheers and applauds]

Mary!

Tell ma and pa I'm going to
be a little late, all right?

Tell ma and pa I'm going to
be a little late, all right?

You shouldn't be going...

But have a nice ride.

Man: big and
little... All of you...

Come on over and
ride the carousel.

Carrie, why are
you way back here?

I got up to the gate, and
the man said, " cents, please,"

And I didn't have no money,

So he sent me way back here.

Oh. Well, where's bandit?

Bandit went off
with another dog.

[expl*si*n]

Oh, no. We got
to meet ma and pa.

Man: come on over, kids.

[Crowd whistling and cheering]

[Band playing]

Charles: half-pint!

How you doing? Fine.

Having a good time? Yeah.

Have you seen
mary? Where is she?

There she is.

- Oh!
- It's all right.

Hi, pa!

Laura?

Don't ask.

Come on.

Oh, pa and ma, it was the most exciting
thing that's ever happened to me!

Charles: you went up without
asking our permission, young lady.

I know, but I was helping cass,

And before I knew
what was happening,

There I was in the basket.
Besides, you didn't say no,

And I didn't know where
you were so I could ask you!

Well, I should think that common sense
would have stopped you from going.

But cass has been up there thousands
of times, and he's never had any...

Cass: it's all my doing, sir.

The young lady's not to blame.

Allow me to introduce myself.

Cassius mccray,
sir, at your service.

Mr. Mccray, do you
do this very often...

I mean, take young ladies up without
asking their parents' permission?

Well, that never
crossed my mind.

Oh, it's wonderful, pa.

It's so quiet up there
and so beautiful.

I could see farm after farm,

And everything was so tiny.

All right. I suppose
there's no harm done.

I should thank you, mr. Mccray,
for giving my daughter such a treat.

It's my pleasure.

I would like her to assist
for the rest of the day...

With your permission?

Oh, pa, may i?

All right, but no
more balloon rides.

Thank you, pa. Thank you, ma.

Well, I've got to get
to the pickle judging.

We'll all go. Win or lose,

I want to eat those pickles.

We'll see you later,
and no balloon rides.

Mary: yes, sir.

- Bye, mary.
- Bye, laura.

Well, I'd better get to
the needlepoint judging.

I won't be long.

Oh, I'll go with you.

Then we'll have some
lunch and go to work.

Be right back.

Tom... Patrick.

Tom, now, if the wind dies down,

We'll be going up

crew go to lunch,

But make sure that somebody's
standing by to heat her up.

- Yes, sir.
- Good enough.

Shall we, pretty lady?

Carrie: pa, I want
to ride the carousel.

Charles: what do you
mean... Ride the carousel?

Haven't you had
enough rides already?

I haven't had any.

Caroline: laura, you were
supposed to take her on that.

I know, but the
line was so long,

And I wanted to see the balloon.

Half-pint, I want you
to take your sister

Down to the carousel ride,

And put her on it right now
like you were supposed to.

Yes, sir.

Caroline: where's bandit?

He ran off with another dog.

Oh, no. Half-pint, if
you happen to see him,

Take him down to the livery
stable and tether him to the wagon.

Yes, sir.

Off to the pickle championships.

Ha ha ha!

Carny barker: play!

Seven come eleven.
Eleven, yes, sir! Eleven!

Number eleven in the second!

Number eleven in the second.

Man: nine!

That's all right.

Put your money
down, and remember...

$ For the price of one!
$ For the price of one!

[Indistinct talking]

- On that!
- I know.

Bandit!

You didn't leave me any money!

Man: ladies and gentlemen...

Ladies and gentlemen...

May I have your
attention, please?

Your attention, please.

We have finished
the pickle judging.

It was a very
difficult decision,

But the blue ribbon goes to...

Ha ha! You won!

Well, go on. Go get it.

Oh, stop it!

[Applause continues]

Man: come on, folks.
Come ride my carousel.

It only costs a nickel.

Fun for all and all for fun.

Hey, mister. Have you seen
a little girl about this high

In a rust-colored
dress with a bonnet,

A yellow bonnet

Yes, but she left

Oh, no.

There's a child in it!

Oh, charles!

Hey, that's my horse!

Charles: carrie!

Carrie!

Come on. That's my
daughter up there.

[Shouting]

Man: come on over,
folks, and ride it.

Great trick, cass.

Come on over, folks,
and ride my carousel.

It's only cents.

Oh, no! I don't believe it!

Listen! That's a
hot air balloon.

If you put that fire
out, it will come down.

Inside! Into the burner!

Carrie...

Carrie, honey,
are you all right?

Sure, I'm fine!

She's all right.

Oh, did you have us scared!

That was fun, ma.

Oh, my baby!

Oh, she's all right.

Are you all right?

It was all my fault.

your fault?

Yeah. I cut the
ropes on the balloon.

I didn't know she was in there.

You cut 'em?

What for?

Well, I was mad...

Jealous.

I'm sorry.

Sorry wouldn't have patched
that balloon if you had torn it.

It's lucky for
you it's all right,

Or I'd have had
your skin for it.

He risked his life to save it.

No, he wasn't trying
to save the balloon.

He was trying to be a hero.

And all you care
about is your balloon.

Well, you just go
to your balloon

And leave us alone.

Come on.

Hello.

- Bye.
- Bye.

I want you to stop
that this minute!

Did you hear me?

Bye.

Charles: I can't find
that darn dog anywhere.

Well, we can't leave him here.

Well, half-pint, we
can't leave him here,

But we can't find our way
home in the dark, either.

Carrie: bandit!

Looks like we can go home now.
