We started out

to get a few of my personal things...

we ended up looting the joint.

- Looting and pillaging.

- Yeah.

And sacking.

Looting and pillaging and sacking.

- And sacking.

- There.

Hukleberry Finn?

Yeah, that's my personal copy.

It has great sentimental value.

My Uncle William gave it to me

on my 12th birthday.

It says on the flyleaf there, it says...

"To little Robert, a real boy,

on his 12th birthday.

"His loving Uncle William. "

Bobby.

"To little Nina, on her ninth birthday.

Her beloved Aunt Sarah. "

Well, it's an honest mistake.

She won't miss it anyway.

- Good. Hey, what have you got in here?

- What? Hey! Wait a minute.

Wow!

I feel kind of guilty about swiping this stuff.

Why?

Well, Nina's the one

who read about the liquor sale at Macy's...

...and she's the one who lugged it all the way

up to Westport in the station wagon.

There's nothing in the divorce agreement

giving Nina custody of the liquor.

Well, it's very true.

As a matter of fact, that's a well-taken point.

Here, catch it, Charlie.

Sign that boy.

Yeah, sign. Hey, you know, I can go

to baseball games now, if I wanted to.

- Why not?

- How about that, Charlie?

And professional football games.

Nina hated professional football games.

Don't waste that stuff. It's precious.

- What do you got in there?

- Laundry.

Well, now that you're all moved in

and settled...

...let's get down to the business at hand.

Dames.

- Who we gonna get for you?

- Hey, wait a minute, Charlie.

Do me one favor. No dames.

Don't you introduce me to anyone.

The last time you introduced me to a dame,

thank you...

...it was a disaster, a total disaster.

You introduced me to a dame,

it took me eight years to get over.

- No, thank you, not again!

- What are you talking about?

- What dame? Who did I introduce you to?

- Nina, that's who you introduced me to.

Hey, that's right.

Man, that was a long time ago.

- 1946.

- We were still in the Navy then.

Fighting the battle

of good old 90 Church Street.

Yeah, you were a big deal then.

A lieutenant in public relations.

I remember that afternoon only too well.

I was sitting at my desk.

...trying to get some work done,

and you came in.

In a jam, as usual.

- Say, Bobby.

- Yeah.

Bobby, I'm in a terrible jam.

Bobby, I have to find a hero.

- A what?

- A hero. I just promised the admiral.

You see, NBC's doing a radio show,

a documentary on the Navy...

...and they're sending a writer down here

to do some research...

...and I just guaranteed I'd find her

a real hero to talk to.

Well, find her a hero.

Yeah.

You know, Bobby, we've got

a great bunch of fellows down here.
