Adventures in Babysitting Page #2

Synopsis: Chris Parker agrees to babysit after her "dream" date stands her up. Expecting a dull evening, Chris settles down with three kids for a night of TV... and boredom. But when her frantic friend Brenda calls and pleads to be rescued from the bus station in downtown Chicago, the evening soon explodes into an endless whirl of hair-raising adventures! Babysitter and kids leave their safe suburban surroundings and head for the heart of the big city, never imagining how terrifyingly funny their expedition will become!

Will you stop eating chocolate?

You're going to have zits

all over your face.

(BOTH GIGGLING)

Mom!

Jesus!

- You guys have a good time.

- We should be home by 1:00.

- Okay.

- Take good care of my baby.

I'll guard her with my life.

- Bye.

- Goodbye.

Brad, into the kitchen

and clean up that mess.

(RHYTHMIC KNOCKING AT DOOR)

That's the back door. I'll get it.

Come on, Chris.

Let's go watch some TV.

(KNOCKING CONTINUES)

- Are you coming over or what?

- No, not anymore.

- Chris is here, isn't she?

- No.

Yes, she is.

That's why I'm sleeping here tonight.

- I don't think so.

- Come on.

- Did you get her clothes off yet?

- Don't be crude. Get back.

You fall in love

and suddenly you're a classy guy.

- I have not fallen in love.

- What's she wearing?

- Clothes. Now get out.

- You got to see the new Playboy.

There's this girl in it

and she looks exactly like Chris.

She's got these humongous...

Ugh. Oh, God.

- Who was at the door?

- Stray dog.

What?

Are you going to go to college?

CHRIS:
Huh?

Oh, great!

Thanks, Mom.

- You're going to college?

- No.

- Thank God.

- Calm down.

(PHONE RINGING)

Maybe it's Mike.

Hello?

OPERATOR:
Will you accept

a collect call from Brenda?

Sure.

Chris, it's Brenda.

- Brenda...

- Chris.

Brenda, what's wrong?

- Oh, Chris, I'm in trouble.

- You're always in trouble.

No, I'm really in trouble. I did it.

- You spiked her Tab with Drano?

- No, I ran away from home.

You what? Where are you?

- I'm at the bus station downtown.

- Look, just don't go anywhere.

I can't. I have no money.

I spent it all on the cab here.

- Chris, I need help.

- I know.

- You're in my house.

- If I take a cab to the Andersons',

- could you pay for it?

- Oh, no, that's going to be like $40.

- I don't have $40.

- Well, can you pick me up?

No, I'm babysitting.

I can't call anybody else.

My dad doesn't know.

He'd kill me if he found out.

I'm begging you. It's really scary here.

I've seen three people shoot up,

a bald Chinese lady with no pants on,

and there's this old guy outside

who wants his slippers.

Get out of my house!

You've just moved!

- Please hurry up and get here.

- I've got my mom's car.

I can't drive it into the city.

Oh, my God. There's a man with a gun.

- Get me the hell out of here.

- Look, just hang up and sit down.

Don't move. I'll be there in half an hour.

Please hurry. I think he's going

to kill somebody. Maybe me.

Brenda?

- I don't believe this. I do not.

- Who's Mike? He your boyfriend?

Yes. I've got to go downtown.

- Brad, will you watch Sara?

- No way.

- What if the house explodes?

- The house is not going to explode.
