Wait a minute. What about "marty-mart love the kids"?

Well, I don't know that marty-mart love 'em that much.

Well, it's too late. You gave it to me, so now it's mine,

Ah, lady, you're kind of quick with yours, ain't you?

[Irish brogue] I am sister mary tyler,

Fastest ruler this side of the mississippi, don't you know?

And I'll see what I can do.

No, no, no, no. Lady, it's not like that.

That's--that's my clock over there.

Oh, bless you, son, for your donation.

It's for the children, don't you know?

Yeah. Yeah, I know, and I love the kids.

You know, marty-mart love the kids,

But I didn't mean to donate this clock,

So what I would like to do is make a cash donation.

How does $ sound?

Like a bribe.

All right. Look, I tried.

Aah!

I told you once. Now don't make me tell you again.

Stop trying to jack me for me loot.

Just don't listen to him, 'cause that's my clock.

And who might you be?

I'm a, uh...

Devout, church-going christian woman

Who donated that clock.

I thought you said the clock was yours.

It is. It was a gift.

But then he gave it to me.

So now it's mine.

Martin, you know that that clock belonged to me.

What I'm trying to say is that this is a very important--

Stop your bickering!

It belongs to the orphanage now.

That now is not a good time. That's all I was gonna say.

Martin, what did you do to your $ cuckoo clock?

It ain't cuckooed since we've been here.

Let's just say we came to a mutual understanding.

[Mournful] cuck...oo.

Now, that's a shame.

Why did you have to beat up on a helpless bird?

Hey, that little bird got some blows in.

You know, I got to admit, that--that little cuckoo

Got a little heart, you know?

Well, at least you picked on somebody your own size.
