Bringing Up Baby Page #2

Synopsis: Mild mannered zoology professor Dr. David Huxley is excited by the news that an intercostal clavicle bone has been found to complete his brontosaurus skeleton, a project four years in the construction. He is equally excited about his imminent marriage to his assistant, the officious Alice Swallow, who is interested in him more for his work than for him as a person. David needs the $1 million endowment of wealthy dowager Mrs. Carleton Random to complete the project. Her lawyer, Alexander Peabody, will make the decision on her behalf, so David needs to get in his favor. However, whenever David tries to make a good impression on Peabody, the same young woman always seems to do something to make him look bad. She is the flighty heiress Susan Vance. The more David wants Susan to go away, the more Susan seems not to want or be able to. But David eventually learns that Alexander Peabody is her good friend, who she calls Boopy, and Susan's Aunt Elizabeth, with whom David has also made a bad im

I said if you move it back about four feet,

I'll be able to get out.

I'm in a terrible hurry, and I can't budge.

- You want me to move your car?

- Would you mind terribly?

- Yes, I will, but...

- That would be awfully kind.

- Take it very easy.

- Yes, I'll go slowly.

What are you doing?

I have to get into position.

Please be careful.

I will. Now, you say when.

- Yes, all right.

- Am I clear?

Yes, you're clear now.

- Now look what you've done.

- That's all right. I'm insured.

I don't care whether you're insured or not!

Let me drive this car.

It's all right. It's an old wreck, anyway.

It doesn't matter.

You don't understand. This is my car!

- You mean this is your car?

- Of course.

Your golf ball, your car?

Is there anything in the world

that doesn't belong to you?

Yes, thank heaven. You!

Now, don't lose your temper.

Young lady, I'm not losing my temper.

I'm merely trying to play some golf.

You choose the funniest places.

This is a parking lot.

Will you get out of my car?

- Get off my running board.

- This is my running board!

All right, honey, stay there.

Help me!

Don't think everything

in the world is yours.

This is my car, I'll handle it.

If you want to come with me, go ahead.

I'll be with you in a minute, Mr. Peabody!

Good evening, sir.

I'm looking for Mr. Alexander Peabody.

I believe he's dining here.

Mr. Peabody has not arrived yet.

Is that so? Well, I'll just wait.

- Yes, sir.

- Good evening, Louis.

- Good evening, Mr. Brown. Right this way.

- Thank you.

May I check your hat, sir?

- Excuse me?

- Check your hat?

No, I better... Maybe you'd...

I'm sorry.

Look at that. I dropped my hat.

I'd better hang on to it.

- Now, watch very carefully.

- I'm watching.

I take an olive, I throw it in that glass,

but there it is.

- Now I throw it in that one.

- Wait. Now, without the... Go on.

Watch.

I know what happens. That's wonderful.

You take three, don't you?

Only you cheated.

You can see me take three.

You throw it in the glass.

Take another one, throw it.

- Good!

- And then you do this.

I'm so sorry. Oh, hello.

You're sitting on your hat.

- I know it.

- That's silly. Get up. I'm awfully sorry.

I couldn't be more apologetic, really.

Well, I might have known you were here.

I had a feeling just as I hit the floor.

That was your hat.

Look at it. Look.

Yes, it's too bad, isn't it?

Joe here was showing me a trick,

and the olive got away.

First you drop an olive,

then I sit on my hat. It all fits perfectly.

You can't do that trick

without dropping some of the olives.

It takes practice.

What, to sit on my hat?

No, to drop an olive.

Now, if you're going to be angry with me,
