The Bride Came C.O.D. Page #5

to go after it?

- That's right.

- Okay. I'll go along.

But there won't be room.

My conscience'll be bothering me all night.

But I want those keys.

Can I help it because you can't make a go

out of this business?

I bet you showed a profit

the minute you were born.

Do you think you're kidding?

As a matter of fact,

I was an incubator baby

and they charged to see me.

Hinkle? I've been knocking around

all my life.

This is my one chance for respectability.

You can't take that plane away from me.

You might as well take off my right arm.

If we loaned you money on that,

we'd take that, too.

- The keys, please.

- All right. The keys.

I haven't missed

one of these catches in years.

Come on. We gotta work fast.

That must be him now.

- You're the pilot?

- Yeah. Name's Steve Collins.

Say, are all those provisions

for a two-hour trip?

- You the bridegroom?

- Yes.

You'll be hungry on the way back.

- Mr. Collins.

- Hey, what's the idea?

Just trying to calculate the lady's weight.

Poundage is important in a plane,

you know. Can't carry too much.

- Sure.

- May I?

If I'd have known that,

I would have shaved.

Wait a minute. Hold it.

Telephone for Mr. Keenan.

What?

It's your office, Mr. Keenan.

And they say it's very important.

Yeah. You warm up the plane.

I'll be back in a minute.

Well, you'd better

fasten your safety belts...

Hey, just a minute. I'll take care of that.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Mr. Brice!

Mr. Keenan wants you in the office.

It's very important.

- Hey! We're moving!

- Hey, Joan! Come back!

- Hi, Allen, boy! Where's the bride?

- She's in that plane.

- She's being kidnapped.

- Kidnapped? What? Who?

- Why not get a train?

- Hey, where's the phone?

- Where's the telephone?

- Yeah.

Hey, wait, I saw the...

- Is there another phone around here?

- Nobody gets a scoop on this. Understand?

- Did you get that, Riley?

- Herald Bulletin? Riley speaking.

Joan Winfield's been kidnapped.

- All right, hurry up.

- Hiya, Tommy.

What do you think of

Joan being kidnapped?

Yeah. I go down with eight.

- What? Kidnapped? Who?

- Joan!

- Joan?

- Joan Winfield.

Joan Winfield.

Joan Winfield's been kidnapped.

Who's he? Give me the phone.

Give me the phone, quick.

Give me the phone.

Hey, give me the police.

I want to report a stolen girl.

Are you crazy?

You've left the others behind.

- Easy, easy.

- What do you think you're doing?

Will you have a seat?

You're being kidnapped.

- Kidnapped?

- That's just about it.

But I can't be kidnapped.

I'm just about to be married.

Well, I admit my timing was bad.

Kidnapped?

- Do you mind if I sit here?

- No.

You know

you don't look like a kidnapper?
