You know what?

I didn't have parents either.

They died shortly after I was born,

so I grew up alone.

Well, not alone, because Jaime

was already working

for my parents and he made sure

I was provided for.

- Then you grew up in this house.

- Bingo!

Unlike these children, I was lucky

enough to have rich parents.

So rich...

So rich...

that I ate them!

A few years ago

I decided to use my fortune

to fill this house with children

who needed a home.

The lost children.

But there's a girl missing, right?

- A redhead.

- Oh, yes, that's right.

Where is Pippi, Sister?

Probably reading one of those

novels she loves.

Shouldn't she be here

having dinner with everyone?

My dear, this home is ruled by harmony.

I never impose rules on my children.

Childhood is a time for freedom

to experiment.

Besides, Pippi is a very unique

little girl.

I try to set limits, but with these two

we haven't had much luck.

The system in your orphanage

might work better.

That's an ugly word.

We prefer to call it

a childhood home.

After all, once you cross

the threshold into my world,

you forever become a part

of my big family.

The gentleman and his wife

can sleep in this room.

- And the boys?

- They can sleep in the children's wing.

A house with wings! And we get

the cool one, with no parents.

Behave yourselves.

I don't want any

horsing around or...

Monkey business. Okay, Dad.

We promise not to have any fun.

Stop complaining and think about

those poor kids without parents.

Poor kids? With Miss Pam

they won the lottery.

Come here, you dummies.

You'll miss us some day,

you'll see.

Mom, please, stop...

That's enough.

A loving kiss is like rain,

it washes away the pain.

It's a secret.

No good night kiss

for your boys?

- No way.

- Yeah, no way.

What's up, blondie?

- But...?

- Shh, you'll scare him.

- Scare who?

- The ghost.

Hey, why is the window open?

So a girl came in

through the window?

You wish.

LOG RAF Come on!

He's in there.

- Who?

- The ghost.

Great, you scared him away.

Sorry, with the window open l...

We won't catch him tonight.

Who, the ghost?

There was nobody there,

you wacko.

Hey.

Wait.

What's your name?

I'm Pippi.

This girl has a screw loose.

If you would be so kind

as to follow me,

Miss Pam would like

to speak with you.

Boys, I have something to tell you.

And, well,

it's a delicate subject.

Spit it out quickly,

the donuts are waiting.

- Your parents are gone.

- What do you mean, gone? Where?

- They left.

- They'll be back.

This way we don't have to go

see his boring publisher.

Darling, there is no boring

publisher.

That's the excuse they made up

to bring you here.

They... gave up on you boys.
