on board in the first place?

He got on board

with his sister.

Oh. Oh, you mean the pet.

Now, if I were miss Tracy,

how would I get out of here?

Ah.

The white zone is

for immediate loading

And unloading of

passengers only.

No parking. Violators

will be towed away.

What are we gonna

do? -Hide Duster.

Take off, driver!

This cab is taken.

Of course, it's

taken. We're taking it.

I'm afraid we've lost

them, Mr. Osborne.

I'm afraid we haven't.

Peter, follow that cab.

I wonder what they're up to.

Where do you think you kids

are goin'? -We're running away.

Running away, huh?

Yes, just like you are.

Just a minute there, young lady.

Who says we're running away?

Betcha they would.

They'd be pretty interested in

these burglar tools. -Burglar tools!

I believe this is what is

known as a Jimmy. -Give me that.

This is a pick for

locks. -Put that away.

Boy, a couple of real

crooks. What'd you get?

So far, just a couple of

kids. -And a skunk. A skunk!

It's just a pet.

Well, you and your pet better

get yourselves another ride.

Okay.

Driver, would you please turn

around and stop that police car?

Just keep going ahead, driver.

Sergeant turner?

What happened? -They were after

the safe in the treasurer's office.

Cleaning lady said they had it

open, but it wasn't blown or forced.

Just a little adhesive

tape stuck to the door.

Adhesive tape. About this

far from the dial? -Yes, sir.

Recognize the MO, sir? -A guy

I've been tryin' to nail for years.

- How much did he get?

- Apparently nothing.

- That's my man. He never did.

- I had a case like that...

In my socio-psychology

course at the academy.

Oh, Longnecker... -It's the

sadomasochistic personality at work.

Longnecker. -This man is part

of the compulsive loser syndrome.

Longnecker, this guy was not

a loser. He was just unlucky.

Until he disappeared five

years ago, he was the best.

And if he's back in business, we'd

better get lucky before he does.

You can drop us

right, uh, here.

Well, kids, this is

where we say good-bye.

- Is this your hideout?

- Will you please...

- Pay the driver, Bert.

- Oh, sure, Duke. Oh, Duke.

You haven't got any loose

change on ya, have ya?

You didn't bring

any money with you?

Well, we had the car

when we left home.

I thought we'd be loaded

now. -How are we gonna pay?

Keep the change, driver.

- Why aren't you in that cab?

- We can use a hideout too.

No, no. No Chance. No.

If you're runnin' away that means

somebody's gonna come lookin' for you.

We've got enough troubles.

Get out of here. Scat.

Scat. -Okay. Okay.

- Come on, Jay.

- Where we goin'?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe there's

a park that we can sleep in.
