Come on, fellas, please.

It's been a very long day.

Tom, give him the doll.

Give him Davy.

Am I talking to myself?

No, no!

- This is not a toy.

- But Dad gave it to me.

Give him Davy.

Give it to him.

Then give me Davy

and go take out the garbage.

He gets whatever he wants,

and I get stuck with the garbage.

I know you.

You're Betty Jane.

You're lost?

Come here.

You have to pull both sides

of the string...

when you tighten this

or we're gonna lose it again.

Good morning.

Oh, my God! Tom!

What is that?

I don't know why we can't keep her.

You're the one who almost ran her over.

What's a pound?

A place where they tie dogs

together by their tails.

Her tail's not long enough.

It's not fair.

I never get what other kids have.

He wants a dad.

I know.

Mom, I think she has to go.

Betty Jane!

Where have you been,

you silly girl?

I don't understand you.

I found her near my house.

She was lost.

I'm grateful to you.

Your name is Tom?

Is that right?

I'm so...

Your leg.

I didn't know.

I'm so sorry about yesterday.

Really. I'm...

I'm Jeanne Holman.

And...

if...

if there is anything I can do

to compensate...

for my carelessness,

please just say.

We could use a ride.

Bye.

- Good luck.

- Thanks.

It's dangerous to stand

by the road, isn't it, Mommy?

Yes, it is, honey.

What if he doesn't get a ride?

Damnation!

You boys wait here.

Excuse me!

- Sorry. I don't know your name.

- Jack.

Jack, this is very dangerous.

I'll be careful.

Would you come back to the car?

Why?

You've gotta have a place to stay

until that leg heals.

Dogs should stay outside.

Honey, he's a lovely dog.

I want to make a few things clear

and...

I would never do this

under any circumstances...

except these circumstances.

And because of that cast.

So, there is no point

standing here.

You've got baseball. Take Gunny

down the street to his friend's.

- I'd appreciate that.

- Come on, Gunny.

I'll take you to your room.

You can stay in Tom's room,

and he'll bunk in with Gunny.

One, two, three, four...

five, six, seven, eight...

nine, ten.

Ready or not, here I come.

I got ya.

Now America's favorite family comedy,

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.

- It's starting.

- Come on. Just one more.

Eat your corn, eat your corn

Tickle, tickle, tickle

Eat your corn, eat your corn

I'm a corn dog

- Are you a chicken?

- You bet I am.

I'm gonna go for a walk.

Sure.

Michael, listen to me

when I say come in.

Dinner is ready.

- Okay, let's go.

- You got the keys?

- Good night.

- Hey!

- You lookin' for somethin'?

- The highway.

It's a couple miles that way.

We can take you if you want.

No, thanks.
