- What's the matter?

- Oh, nothing.

It's just my asthma. -Asthma?

You know I always get it when it's

cold and damp and late at night,

And I have to sleep outdoors.

But I'll be all right.

Let's get some of these

newspapers out of the trash can.

What for?

To stuff inside of our

clothing, so we don't freeze.

Just... One... Night.

Shall I retrieve them, sir?

There might be one alternative.

On the other hand, would you say

the children are in imminent danger?

No, sir.

And might not a look on

the seamier side of life

Help them to show more

respect for the finer things?

Oh, I believe it would, sir.

If we leave Peter behind

to keep an eye on them,

Might this be the tonic to

straighten those children up,

Make them into better citizens?

Indeed, it might, sir.

That's very astute

of you, Jameson.

You can expect a bonus

along with your raise.

I got the keys.

Five grand, Duke. Where

we gonna get five grand?

We'll get it. We'll get

it. Now just don't panic.

Yeah, right.

Gotcha. Don't panic.

After all, we're just small

potatoes to a guy like big Joe.

He deals with millions.

He probably forgot

all about us.

Then again, he

probably remembered.

Would you believe the

door was open, Duke?

We knew that you would want us

to make ourselves comfortable.

Oh, sure, make yourselves

comfortable. You already have.

Freddie.

Hello, kids.

Hello, "puddy cat."

I didn't know you were

a family man, Duke.

Oh, yes, yes, of course,

yes. This is my niece.

And, um... My niece and

nephew from, uh, buffalo.

Buffalo. -Buffalo!

That's near Syracuse.

Bert, why don't you see if we can

get some pajamas for the kids...

And tuck 'em in to their little

beddy-by. -Oh, sure, sure.

Psst.

Grapevine tells me that, uh,

You were at the

airport tonight, Duke.

Yeah, but it's my

usual luck, Joe.

See? Nothing. Nothing.

Oh, that's too bad.

The computer's gonna be

very unhappy to hear that.

Computer?

Yeah, that note

is... Way overdue.

And it's a sizable amount.

Well, it was $5,000

the last time I looked.

You haven't looked

in a long time, Duke.

And you know those computers.

Clickety-click, clickety-click.

Interest, carryin' charges. Interest

on carryin' charges. Clickety-click.

Well, just how much has

it clickety-clicked up to?

Nine big ones.

N-nine... Nine

thousand dollars?

Every minute we spend talkin',

it's clickety-click clickety-click.

Isn't there some way we

could get an extension?

An extension? -An extension.

I mean, the garage can make it.

We were just

starting to roll...

When they tore up the streets

out here and blocked it off.

Started to build high

rises on each side of us.

Isn't it a shame? Isn't
