Nothing... much.

Open your hand.

Hmm.

Why can't you let her alone?

I insist on being obeyed.

Now go to your room

at once.

Afraid she might be

having a little fun, huh?

It's discipline she needs,

not fun.

Well, I've decided to make you

a final offer... final...

of $60,000.

Poor child.

I said $60,000.

Listen, my dear brother-in-law.

You've always had the idea

that it was your duty...

to run other people's lives.

You wrecked your sister's! You've

pretty well kicked mine over.

You wanna keep the fun

out of Pennie's.

You've got the gall to think Elsie

could have been happy with you?

She was, so long as

you left us alone, Hmm.

impossible as that may seem,

my dearJason.

You got away with your interfering

before, but not now. Pennie.

Oh, all right, 75,000, then. Pennie!

Think of that child!

I am.

Pennie? I'm your father.

Oh, I knew it!

I knew it!

Miss Day, this is New York.

We're gonna wrap it up, tie a string

around it and take it home with us.

And, uh, we'll

take these too.

And this?

Yeah. W-We'll have that.

And, uh...

Here! Here! Here!

But Daddy,

I wanna put it on.

You'll, uh... I'll take her into

the fitting room. Come, dear.

Just a moment, please.

Transfers.

I'm saving them.

See? I use them

for money.

Hmm. I haven't

tried that yet.

Is it anything serious, Doctor? Nothing

that a dose of castor oil can't remedy.

Castor oil? You mean... You

mean I gotta give her castor oil?

Yes, I do. She'll have to keep

regular hours and eat the proper food.

I'm going to send her a diet

which will not include hot dogs.

See that she follows it.

And I'm gonna send you a book.

You can use some information

on the bringing up of a child.

It's quite a job, you know. Yes. Well,

thank you, Doctor, for straightening us out.

Not at all.

Good night.

Good night, dear.

Good night.

He was pretty mad at you,

wasn't he, Daddy?

Yeah.

Drug store, please.

My dear young woman, life is

not just a round of pleasure.

We must take the bad

with the good.

This is the bad

and this is the good.

Castor oil, I know.

Now, you take a spoonful of this

and I'll show you what that is.

All right. I'll take it.

But I'll keep my eyes shut.

It reminds me

of Uncle George.

No need to take this thing

so seriously.

Oh.

Oh, he's elegant.

Are you... Are you sure

you like him?

I'm just crazy about him.

I'm awful crazy

about you too, Daddy.

I've had such a good time.

Hmm. Well, now...

now you go to sleep.

I'll be in the next room

if you want me.

Good night, Daddy.

You see, Mr. Cosgrove,

he doesn't realize...

that I'm too old

to have a teddy bear.

Why, I gave up playing with such

things years ago, Mr. Cosgrove.
