Herbie Rides Again Page #5

decided to make up.

I'm off for my morning walk.

Come along, we can have a chat.

No, I just came to say goodbye.

I'm going home to Missouri.

Oh, what a pity!

Nicole so hoped to see you again.

She's a wonderful girl,

even if you don't agree with her.

I do agree with her now.

I'm going to my uncle to tell him

exactly what I think of him.

- Why, that's splendid!

- It's time he heard the real truth.

Nicole will be thrilled!

Please wait until she comes back.

To be honest, I'm more afraid

of her than I am of my uncle.

Nonsense! She's just

a very high-spirited young lady.

That's for sure.

Goodbye.

Don't weaken about the firehouse.

Don't worry, young man.

Call my nephew, wherever he is,

and get him here.

Yes, sir. Mr. Barnsdorf is on the

phone.

Yeah, Barnsdorf, what do you want?

Can we dig yet, Hawk?

My boys are getting itchy.

I'll tell you when to dig.

I got some high-price

digging equipment and crew

sitting around playing gin-rummy,

waiting for you.

It's costing you 80 grand a day.

Just stop bugging me, Barnsdorf.

You'll get the order to start

any moment now.

And what do you want?

I'm sorry. I called the motel.

Your nephew checked out.

What do you mean, checked out?

When? Where?

Who told him he could check out?

How dare he disappear

when he knows I'm worried sick!

I'll tear his chicken-livered gizzard

to pieces! I'll stomp him!

I'll take this letter knife and stab

him in his ungrateful breastbone.

You know me, Millicent! Normally,

I'm a kind, fun-loving fella.

But when I get crossed, I go bananas.

Yes? It's your nephew.

Willoughby?

Willoughby, where are you?

Hi, Uncle. I thought I'd save time

and phone you the news.

Marvelous. Great. Smart boy!

That Hawk blood tells in the end.

All ashore that's going ashore.

What's all that noise?

And what news?

The news I was leaving town.

Leaving town?

I'm on the ship-to-shore phone...

..from the deck

of the Swedish freighter,

the Gustav Gustaffson

bound for Helsinki.

Helsinki?

I'm glad you're taking it like this.

You should

leave Mrs.. Steinmetz alone.

Why you...!

Don't worry,

you'll feel better in the morning.

Don't talk like an idiot!

I feel better now.

Alonzo Hawk may be betrayed, but he

is never defeated. Out of my way!

Since none of you pitiful

excuses for men have the muscle

to move a feeble old lady,

I'll do it myself,

like I have to do everything.

- Now, now...

- Shut up!

We'll start on number one,

harassment. I wrote the book on it.

Shut off her phone,

turn off her water,

sic the health and building

inspectors on her.

- Steal her dog!

- She doesn't have a dog.

She doesn't have a dog? A little old

lady in a place like that?
