[Music]

oh thanks Herbie so far you're the only kid that's not causing a problem

and furthermore if Douglas gets this loan it seems you're really putting him in business in isn't what I had in mind

but mother

a famous Driving School uh may I speak uh with Jim Douglas uh well he won't be

back till very late if at all may I help you you just have is this Mr hello

[Music]

studios please uh he's one of your motor vehicle inspectors yes I'm Mr Diaz this is Randy Bigelow at the

bank I spoke to you about that loan for the famous driving school yeah

did you meet me there as soon as possible good

[Music] well you guys got home a little early we

drove fast was it fun I'll talk to you later Susan wait wait a

minute why are you leaving what's the matter where all the fish didn't anybody catch

any why do you look like you got caught in the shower

because he's the one that went in the lake with your clothes on how else could he

save us from drowning look you were the one who wanted to take the boat you the one who untied it yeah well I didn't

know it was leaky yeah Justin you took the boat out without Jim you

didn't want us to ask him and Celine questions could have asked him at least one

fortunately I'm a very good swimmer well I don't I don't believe any of this

Julie I hope you didn't have anything to do with it I didn't mom she didn't she wasn't even

there what well Jason came by and oh look look we

we got home safely now there's nothing to worry about oh I'm worried yeah well I'll I'll talk to

you later okay will you ever bless you

I'll see you later

why don't I believe that hold it

thanks a lot g*ng we're really sorry Mom I mean we were just trying to get to

know him like you said yeah we got to know he's a funny swimmer oh great great

two of you got to know him too well and the other one not at all I got to know him on the way home Mom

he's the strong silent type who grinds his teeth a lot [Music]

if Jim were here with her other car my fault and I'd be ashamed to have the

loan turned down because of bad timing oh don't pay any attention to this car Mr Diaz they never use it it doesn't

even run I wouldn't want you to think they were doing anything ill*gal ill*gal are you

kidding the other cars our main one and it's perfect from my friend's mouth to your ear Mr

Diaz an excellent car even for its age uh what is it 49 50 a 63

63. it's amazing and it still runs see I wouldn't want Mr Diaz to think he

was dealing with an old broken down clunker every inspection the DMV has ever given

us something that would get you and Douglas into trouble well maybe I should look into it in 1963

huh oh dear I have said something wrong haven't I I wish there was something I could do to

vindicate myself [Music]

well Herbie can for sure

boy am I glad to see you Jim what a blessing you're here uh Mr Diaz from the

DMV is the Department of Motor Vehicles well uh it's about the loan oh well cologne

yes I know it's about the loan well inspect away Mr Diaz

you'll find the brakes and the steering tires in perfect condition couldn't need

a lot more space for all these new cars with that loan we're gonna have it I had to come back didn't you you miserable

old Relic [Music] oh my God

[Music] oh you got the Herbie

well what do we have here a very bad oil leak faulty breaks and it looks like

your engine needs an overhaul Mr Diaz I could explain this whole thing you'll get the chance Mr Douglas but until then

I'm going to have to close down your school ha

[Music]

Herbie the Love Bug will continue [Music]

[Music]

foreign

let me have mine

hi hi come on in I'm so glad to see you I mean I thought

after this afternoon you might have lost my address on purpose no no this afternoon was nothing nothing

in my book you got the hero of the Year award yeah well I feel more like Laurel and Hardy both of them well great then

you can make me laugh twice one by telling me that the loan came through

and well anything else that comes to mind

well I'm afraid what's coming to mind Susan isn't all that funny No loan

no business what well the banks and a guy from the DMV around to recertify the cars for the

loan he ended up closing the whole school down but why how could he do that that's easy all he needs a little

authority and a pencil oh boy and it wasn't one of Herbie's better days either

seems like everything comes in once [Music]

I'll take care of it we'll take care of it

we are together aren't we well that's the thing Susan there's a lot

that needs straightening out wait a minute

maybe there's something that we should straighten out right now are we together or not

well of course but after what happened today but after what what happened I mean your business or my kids your kids

yeah you remember the lake and the Loch Ness Monsters Susan that's forgotten well not by me it isn't I mean I mean

you couldn't wait to get out that door I was wet and cold

the only thing cold was your feet now wait a minute I mean you're just not ready to give up your bachelorhood for

three kids let's be honest do I have anything to say about this a lot of excuses you know excuses maybe I should

bring the sign over that says out of business you know my mother told me I was gonna have a tough time getting married with three kids but I'll tell

you something I wouldn't give them up for anything not anything I'm not asking you to give them up Susan well nobody's

asking me to bring them along all I want you to do is put it in the back burner that's all I'm saying

sorry our future is not a pot roast

look it's been a big day and I don't mean what happened at the lake as far as

I'm concerned that's forgotten

[Music] almost well as far as I am concerned you can

take your Bachelor hood and your runny nose and you can go home and I have two words you're just gonna love one is good

and the other is bye well [Music]

I guess Jim's still mad about Blake it's all my fault that's what Mom said

you know when I was little my dad came home he didn't want to stay either

all I asked him was how long he was going to be here anyway

Bachelor doesn't want to marry three kids why not haven't you ever heard of

Three's a Crowd we're too much of a crowd then let's get rid of Julia

be better for a mom to get rid of the one who caused the trouble he said she wouldn't get rid of any of

us no but if she wants to get married somebody better give her the chance

I don't know when we'll open again MS vernstrom the inspector that closed us down suddenly went on a vacation

oh but I was doing so beautifully in my little herb I know I'm old I can't learn

to drive in this battle wagon oh do this to me yeah well I wish they

hadn't done it to me either I know I oh I wish there was something I could do

take the tank and take vaguely oh don't look so indignant you all bustle

well excuse me Bagley thanks anyway Miss Furniture I think I'm just going to be

taking a vacation oh no I hate to say this but there are a lot

of good schools around oh [Music]

oh

there goes a good customer and a dozen good recommendations now look at the DMV either huh they're

looking into it well I wish you'd look into Herbie I can't get him to budge uh brakes are

locked or something

take care of me well why don't you keep working on this clunker

[Music]

foreign

you can't take these things so hard I'll snap out of it you made a mistake I I

forgive you you're no different from anybody else pouting won't help

[Music] cry baby [Music]

by here Matthew and Robbie no

I went by school to pick them up and

they're not there well have you tried

home

reassuring

up

you were a kid yourself once

[Music]

home from school

hope it doesn't mean trouble

I ran off to hop a freight one day after

school cops brought me home dad and I

the grandparents live in Des Moines

I would think they'd be going there

what about Randy's

well I've already tried he hasn't seen

him

are you a friend of the family

I hope so

I don't know what to do

the best thing for you to do is to stay

right where you are in case they call

thank you

oh we'll find them soon

Julie look out for your mother I think

I'd feel more comfortable out looking

Herbie

[Music]

thank you

well if you could get that clunker

running would you pick me up at Susan's

one of us has already started

[Music]

but my legs can't we'll try

my foot hurts I think I have something

in my shoe okay we'll stop

all right which foot hurts neither one

anymore

sure is lonely out here guess we're the

only ones running away today probably

do you think mom misses us

maybe but she'll get over it

I hope I do

how long do we stay away

well when Mom and Jim get married then

we'll go back

we'll ruin the marriage I hope not

I wouldn't want that to happen again

I'd stay away forever if I thought that

was going to happen

come on the cabin isn't much farther

boy I thought running away would be fun

but it's nothing but work

okay you guys we're gonna really have to

move out I told your mom would be home

at five o'clock oh Johnny

baby

you know you can help by sometimes

telling you for the shoe and you see it

like this

[Music]

come on

[Music]

we're standing in this creepy Place only

for the night

then we'll decide what we want to do in

the morning let's decide now that we

don't have to go in look I didn't want

to have to bring you here in the first

place now if you're going to be a pain

I'm gonna make you go home I could never

get that far I can't even believe I got

this far

[Music]

well are you coming in are you gonna

stay out there all alone

I wish there was another choice

[Music]

wow boy if anybody ever lived here they

sure were messy

[Music]

come on

[Music]

every time I ever came out of one of

those places without losing at least

five bucks

I'd pay a lot more than that if we could

find those kids

well the clock is running smooth maybe

our luck will do the same

[Music]

Uncle Randy just had to come

well of course I've contacted mother

you know how much you and your dear ones

have always meant to her

much luck with Jim's loan out of my

lasting regret but how were any of us to

know

him that uh

probably was risking his students lives

or that car of his

but of course we have more pressing

concerns right now don't we dear uh

Susan

Julie if you could possibly conceive

where those boys might be I mean use

your imagination let your minds do the

walking as it were Randy the police have

already been here

incompetent bureaucrats and Brass

buttons what do they know now could they

be

at their grandparents other relatives

friends they asked every one of those

questions

well no one ever said they were

completely incompetent

now there are other ways now don't worry

Susan we'll find those kids if it takes

every resource at my mother's command

[Music]

yeah

I'm starting to lose so probably just an

old tree branch scraping up against the

house

what's that it's a just an old loose

board or something now look if you're

gonna keep me awake all night I'll make

you go home

when

right now wow come on

why don't you open it trying

you don't have to try anymore

burglary in progress liquor store 4th in

May

we go beep beep sounds like Herbie

hey it is hey

he wouldn't buy it

[Music]

hit it again

[Music]

come on let's get going

[Music]

I just wish I knew where

I think now

where would they be if what do they like

to do you had them up at the lake

getting to know him better you must have

learned something

you know what I just learned Bo what as

a mechanic you're a pretty good

detective

[Music]

I knew her beats save us how

he's passing us

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

thank you

go ahead

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

what happened

I guess they couldn't get in

I think we got to go around the lake

Again Jim no I don't think we could have

missed it let's try over by Riverton

Forest

[Music]

[Music]

well I guess I'm a better mechanic than

I am a detective

well it was worth a try

[Music]

what's wrong what are we stopping here

for

what's wrong nothing

in fact it may be right

[Music]

make that definite huh I'll tell you

what's definition I'm confused

Matthew Robbie where are you

[Music]

[Music]

see you

I wasn't screaming her before

Jim Herby in a broken down clunker well

first thing in the morning we're gonna

have a little talk about running away

yeah yes ma'am

I'm sorry

I'd like to have a little chunk about

running away right now

running away from the truth never works

which is what I might have been doing

maybe that episode at the lake shook me

up a lot more than I wanted to admit to

myself

I know Matthew was shaken up by a whole

lot of things

otherwise he never would have wanted to

run away from home

but she knows nothing

when I realized that you guys were

missing

to kind of shaking up I never want to

feel again

well then you're gonna stay really stay

well if your mother's willing

I'd like to ask her to marry me

she's willing so am I me too

well I

did

I might as well make it unanimous

if you really want us

[Music]

we do

[Music]

this car is a jewel

as far as the DMV and I are concerned

absolutely no problem I could have told

him that

I'm very relieved to hear that Mr Diaz

well Mrs feinster I guess there's

nothing standing in the way of the bank

alone now huh let's find it you young

Scrooge or shall I twist a few more arms

I'm uh sorry about the inconvenience Jim

I hope this makes up for it

ah

well thanks Randy I I do hope that

someday we here at Famous driving school

will find a way to show our gratitude oh

I'm sure you'll think of something

[Laughter]

[Music]
