Yes of course i'm sure it's her.

I'll wait, yes right here.

Miss, can I have a

cup of coffee please.

Excuse me, can I talk to

you for just a second?

Let me ask you a question.

Hey creep, what are you

bothering my chick for?

I'm not bothering her, I just

want to ask her a question.

Your bothering her.

What are you doing off your stall?

Sit down and take care of

what you gotta take care of.

-I'm not bothering anybody, it...

- So what are you doing with her?

It so happens this

girl's a missing person.

Where'd you get my picture from?

- Nancy Lockston. She's missing from...

- You a detective? You carry a gun?

- No, I happen to be a father.

- Her father? - No.

Then what are you worried about?

She's not your kid, she's with me.

I got her, they want her, they

can't have her, she's mine.

Wherever she is, goodbye.

Oh lessons in love

are free say you,

Yeah lessons in

love are free.

And he took me by the hand, he

showed me where to stand he said:

Lessons in love are free .

Oh bother, do you bother,

you're blowing my mind,

you tell me that we are one,

but how can I be you

when I got myself to do,

he said:
Be me and you'll be my son.

Nancy!

Nancy, come back here!

Lady you didn't pay!

Nancy, will you stop!

Lady!

- In here!

- What?

She went in one of these places,

I called you, i'm Mr Tyne.

Oh thank you.

To je hrza! J u nemu.

I'm terribly sorry.

Please don't you be sorry. My goodness

it was so sweet of you to help me.

I don't know how you

find anyone in this city.

I know...

It was so kind

of you to call me.

How long have

you been a member?

- I beg your pardon?

- You are a member aren't you?

- Of what? - You're

not a member of SPFC.

I don't know what that is.

It's the Society for the

Parents of Fugitive Children.

You've heard of

it haven't you?

I don't know.

It's very well known. It's

been in all the newspapers.

We had an article in Time magazine.

Didn't you read about it?

I think I read... you know

there's been no reason for...

me to pay any attention to

anything like that until now.

- How long has she been

gone Mr Tyne? - Larry.

About a week.

- What about your girl?

- Mine's been gone for 7 months.

I don't feel any

responsibilty for it.

I'll tell you what

my philosophy is:

I think that everything

that happens to us in life is...

it's just another life experience and we

should get everything out of it we can.

It's a life experience.

You know what I mean?

It's a marvellous philosophy.

You know, you could...

could find that this experience could be

a very profound one for you and your...

You are married aren't you?

You're not divorced or

widowed or anything like that?
