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

Eddie

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.

Eddie

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

Who left the window open?!

That was me.

Eddie

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.

Eddie

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.

Eddie

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.

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

Eddie

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

Cop 1

Have you guys seen a baby around here?

Eddie

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...

Eddie

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.

Eddie

Excuse me. The police. Thank you.

[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.

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

Eddie

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.

Eddie

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

We took a licking and kept on ticking.

Eddie

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.

Eddie
[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.

Eddie
[about Bink]

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