Baby's Day Out quotes

We got some news. I don't know if it's good, but it's not bad. Since the media broke the story, calls have come in. There was a report of a man looking for a baby on a bus this morning. A baby missing from a department store care center. Another, at three o'clock, at the zoo. Shortly after that, at a downtown park. And a final report not long ago at...

[realizing]

A building under construction.

[surprised]

Yeah, that's right.

He's doing everything in the book. I know where he is. "Before returning home for supper, Nanny and Baby Boo stopped at the Old Soldiers' Home to visit Mr. Tinsel." That's where he is.

[picking up the phone]

Hello.

Joe Depke

Hello. Is this Mr. Cotwell?

Yes. Who is this?

Joe Depke

My name's Depke. Joe. Joe Depke. Yeah. Listen, I might have some information on the whereabouts of that child.

You had quite an adventure today.

Baby Bink

Boo boo.

Boo boo?

It's what he calls his book. He lost it today.

We'll get you another one, sweetheart.

Baby Bink

Boo boo!

What? Oh, I see. That's nice.

Baby Bink

Boo boo.

That's not a boo boo. That's a clock. A ticktock. Was there a ticktock in his book?

No. Well, he's pointing to...His boo boo, he's not pointing at the ticktock, he's pointing to his boo boo, he wants his boo boo.

I thought he was getting a new boo boo.

He means his boo boo's back there, that's where he's been.

Radio Rogers and McCloskey, tell them we're going to the ticktock to get the boo boo, and send for backup.

Cop 1

Have you guys seen a baby around here?

The park is full of...babies.

Cop 2

Yeah, well, there's been a kidnapping.

Well, that's a crying shame. It's amazing what people will do for money.

Yeah, for five million...

If we see anything... [Baby Bink turns on the lighter] Excuse me. If we see anything, we'll be sure to notify... [absolutely moans]

Cop 2

He's got a bad heart.

Excuse me. The police. Thank you.

Mr. Andrews

Your name's McCray?

Mrs. McCray

Yeah. What did I do?

Mr. Andrews

We're looking for a missing child.

Mrs. McCray

These are my kids.

Mr. Andrews

Mind if we take a look? [enters the room]

Hello, ma'am.

Young Girl
[waves at Larine]

Hi.

Mr. Andrews

Sir, in here.

[They head into another room, Larine discovers the same baby similar to Bink]

Baby. [watches in him in happiness] You have a beautiful little boy.

Mrs. McCray

Thank you, ma'am. I'll pray he comes back to you. These kids are all I've got, so I know how I'd feel if I was in your place.

I hope you never are, for your children's sake.

Sorry, we inconvenienced you.

Be there in a second. I'm sorry for the trouble.

Mrs. McCray

Sir? I believe in my heart that someone somewhere watches over the babies.

Yes, I hope so.

Did a baby get off this bus?! A little guy, about two feet tall! It's an emergency!

Bus Driver

I didn't have nobody today with a baby.

He was by himself!

Hey, Eddie, you sure you don't wanna go check to see if they left the money?

Oh, that's a good idea. We get the living hell tore out of us by a baby! Three fully grown men versus fifteen pounds of pink flesh with a mouth. Now, what chance have we got of strolling into that alley and coming out with anything less than one and forty years in prison?

No way.

No, thank you! This is a hexed situation. We walk away while we're still ahead.

We took a licking and kept on ticking.

We'll go back to banks. Dealing with grownups, I don't want no kiddy stuff.

We did all right with banks.

Or a convenience store once in a while, keeps things interesting.

[to Norby and Veeko]

You know, I tell you one thing I learned from all this, I ain't never gonna have any kids of my own.

Yeah, seeing as you burnt down the only tree in your forest, I wouldn't worry about it.

[about Bink]

Why don't you shut up? I don't wanna ever hear another word about that rotten, snake-bit baby.

Norm

I seen the baby.

Where?

Norm

Right across the street on the curb.

Where'd he go?

Norm

Where'd he go? It's the craziest thing, I don't remember.

Maybe we'll take a ride. See if you remember then.

Can I help? You want money? How much?

Norm

Don't embarrass me. Don't insult me. Please, your money's no good here. Put it away.

Where's the baby?

Norm

House across the street. Second floor. McCrays. [sees Laraine, heads into McCrays' house] No guarantee! Listen, mister, I didn't know your kid! I just saw his picture on TV! I called because I care.

[noticing Bink is on Ursala's purse]

Some people.

Eddie, how could he get off?

I seen him.

Both

What?!

He's in the big broad's purse.

Hey, Eddie, maybe he went down a rabbit hole.

We're serious about our work. You wanna make jokes? Join the circus.

I worked at Burger King three years. This is worse than that.

Don't blame me. We'd be resting easy if Butterfingers here hadn't lost the kid.

I lost the kid? I lost the kid?! Oh, well, that's news to me.

Who putted himself to sleep reading the kid's nursery story?!

Who left the window open?!

That was me.

You idiots are why we don't got the kid. As far as I'm concerned, you can drop out and I'll keep the five million myself. Frankly, you don't deserve a penny!

You'd stiff us?

Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Don't get hot, Eddie. Don't get hot. We're all just tired from getting torn apart.

Oh, like I like to fall off buildings and jump in ditches! That's the breaks. We're dealing with a baby. Babies are obviously more dangerous than we thought.

It don't figure, Eddie. They're so small.

When I boxed, the guys I most feared were those who feared nothing. Babies are like that, they ain't afraid of nothing. [they notice Bink's foot tracks] Baby tracks.

[At the construction site, Eddie is stuck with a hook while holding on it] [calls for help]

Norby! Veeko!

Hey! We're down here!

Hey, Ed! We better go before I dry!

Ed, can you see the baby from up there? Just hang on and we'll come on up. I got an idea.

[Last lines]

Good night, sweetheart.

Good night, Bink.

[They turn off the lights and close the door]

Did I tell you? The baby's having his picture taken tomorrow.

Say hello to old Willy.

I will.
[Bink wakes up, gets ready to read another book, this one entitled "Baby's Trip to China", much to his overjoy]

[Sixteen-month-old Bennington Austin Cotwell IV wriggles with pleasure as he hears the familiar words. Bennington is far too cute to be called by his complete name. Then everyone calls the lively little boy Baby Bink] [At that moment, Baby Bink is cuddled in a soft, terry-cloth sleeper sitting on the knee of his pretty, young nanny, Gilbertine. Her crisp white apron smells of laundry soap and starch. Her shiny, honey-blond hair smells of shampoo] [Outside the Cotwell mansion, birds sing in the fresh, summer morning. Baby Bink greets the day as he always does, by hearing Gilbertine read his favorite book. Baby Bink loves "Baby's Day Out". He can listen to that storybook again and again and again. His chubby hand reaches eagerly toward the book] [Gilbertine's green eyes drift off from the page, but she knows the story by heart]

You will see the many, many sights of the big city. [She stops reading and sighs heavily] Couldn't we read another book? We've read this one a hundred times.

Bink
[Baby Bink shakes his blond head and points to the well-worn picture book]

Boo-boo! Boo-boo! [That's what he called his favorite book]

[Gilbertine looks around the luxurious nursery. In one corner stands a tall, antique bookshelf. The shelf is filled with enough expensive picture books to start a small library]

You have so many other books.
