Adventures in Babysitting Page #3

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!

You leave him here and it will.

I will be gone an hour there and back.

That's it. Okay?

- You guys go steady or what?

- What?

- Do you?

- Yes. Are you two listening to me?

My mom is paying you good money

to watch me.

Brad can watch you.

Why would my mom pay you

good money for Brad to watch me?

Sara...

- Why can't we just all go?

- Because.

- Do you like him a lot?

- No. Yes.

- Well, which is it?

- Yes. I like him a lot.

No, Sara, your parents would die if

they found out I took you into the city.

They'd die if they found out

you left me here alone with him.

Well, who's going to tell them?

- Anybody have to go to the bathroom?

- Nope.

Come on, let's go.

Now, if anybody asks,

we went for ice cream.

Okay.

- Road trip?

- Jesus.

- Where are you going?

- SARA:
Downtown.

The city? Hey, can I go?

- No, Daryl. Go home.

- Who is this kid?

- Stray dog.

- Daryl Coopersmith.

- And you're Chris Parker, right?

- Daryl, go home.

- You must be a great babysitter.

- What is he talking about?

Mr. And Mrs. Anderson

must really trust you

to take little kids into the city. Alone.

- Yeah, isn't it great?

- It is so great

that I'll get my mom to talk

to the Andersons about you.

- Then maybe you can babysit for me.

- Stop him.

And then maybe we can drive off to

New York or something just for kicks.

- Chris...

- Daryl.

- You think?

- What am I supposed to do?

- Get in the car and run him over.

- Let him come.

- Daryl!

- Sorry, can't talk. Got to run.

Will you just get in the car?

All right!

Now, boys, I swear if you give me

any grief over the next 60 minutes,

I swear to God I'll kill you.

Dead. Murdered. Stabbed.

- Raped?

- I am too old for this crap.

(CHUCKLING)

(SINGING)

It's 25 miles from home, girl

My feet are hurting mighty bad

BRAD:
Mike what?

CHRIS:
"Mike what," what?

DARYL:
What are we talking about?

- BRAD:
What's his last name?

- Todwell.

- Are you writing a book?

- Mike Todwell? Do you know him?

They go out.

He's got a red Camaro, right?

Oh, gee, Daryl.

Are you a gearhead and a sex fiend?

A lot of people have Camaros.

But do a lot of people have

the license plate "SO COOL"?

(BOYS LAUGHING)

That's Mike.

He's the guy who beat me up

for touching his car, which I didn't do.

- That was him?

- That was him.

- Mike wouldn't do that.

- Yes, he would.

- He would not.

- He did. He kicked my ass.

- Want to see the footprint?

- ALL:
No.

Look. That's where Thor lives.

- Thor?

- All the superheroes live in the city.

Spider-Man, Daredevil,

and Captain America.

But Thor's the best.

He fights the forces of darkness.

Forces of darkness, beware.

So the babysitter goes upstairs
