What time is it? Oh, just about midnight What are you stopping for a red light? Oh? Don't you ever stop the red lights? Of course I do You know, I like the city at night. I feel as if we owned it. It's so quiet and empty Can I drive David? I'm not a bit sleepy and you are you're yawning again. I'm not that city Although I want to sleep between sheets not wrapped up in a sheet Just when are you going to admit that I can drive and beautifully? Oh, you do it beautifully. All right, very graceful spontaneous Don't do it. Well, this is a perfect time for me to practice when there aren't any other cars around you haven't got your license Yes, I have us in that little compartment there with the registration some of the time. We're almost home Why are you stopping now a red light? Did they go on all night? They never close an eye. I could go without closing mine tonight Say David did that kitten look better to you today about the same. Maybe he'll get better seeing as he's not getting worse. Maybe oh David we are almost home with all the stars out to cheer up first. We have to go to the garage and leave the car That doesn't cheer me Can't we just park it right in front of the house your cat parking the street overnight? It's against the law But look at all those cars staying out David let ours to we've got a ticket.

We found it right plunk in the middle of the trolley car tracks out of guess lucky We didn't fill the tank isn't it David what a thief might have driven straight to California We never have gotten it back. Well, you haven't got it back yet. There are a few essential preliminaries. Why it's our car Yes, sergeant you I take it our heartly Norton. No officer. I'm David not. Oh, you are Did I just talk to you on the phone? You did? Let me get this straight This young lady is Claudian Norton and you are David not right, but the car is registered in heartly Norton's name Where is heartly Norton? He's in Europe. He'll be home any day fine, and he shall have his car by any day But it's our car. We'd like very much to have it now. We've come all the way from New York Take care of this. Oh sergeant Heartly Norton is my brother lovely and he gave the car to me What heartly does this with his car is up to heartly He can do whatever he wishes with his own property and since he gave his car to me It belongs to me if he says so at that he said so How can we have it back? Claudio. Hey, you can have it back when mr. Heartly Norton says so But he can't not not precisely my point. He can't say so. So I can't say so neither I'm only a sergeant not a scenic. Oh, we're not asking you to give us the car heart. You already did that How do you suppose we had it so could be stolen from us an interesting point officer if you don't mind How did you happen to call us if you insist the car is not ours? I step in the dark mr. Norton I found mrs. Norton's license in the compartment And I had no reason not to believe that your wife was not mr. Heartley's wife However, so's your voyage in these wee hours is not entirely in vain I shall permit you to fill out a form reporting the loss of his car He shall thereby get it back first, but he doesn't want it back. He doesn't like it. Oh, David That's all the fuss about Claudia. Let me handle this, please Sergeant, I'll wire my brother in the morning and get a reply immediately I'll forward it to you. So you have proof of my authorization to drive the car then you shall have it back Now leave us make it simple just according to all rules and regulations You make out this nice form 482 way modification 399c declaring your car was stolen You will file this with your precinct. They will list the car stolen and we will give me the form sergeant I want you to comprehend that none of this is personal sergeant What if we don't fill out this it's all subtle claudia. We are filling it out Let the little lady speak until this form is filled out the car really isn't stolen at all is it? Not officially so david if the sergeant would let us we could take the car now Not fill out the form and no one would know You believe we're us don't you officer? Do I? Yeah, I guess I do believe you're us I even know who your brother-in-law is and seeing it's all in the family I guess I'd give you the car see david if mr. Norton had some identification. I've got it right here in my wallet Lovely, David starting. We'll be out of here in a minute. Now. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I um I have it right Right in here. I'll take your time.

You are a very lucky man, mr. Norton When my wife takes my wallet out of my pants. She doesn't switch it to another pair Oh, no, she puts it right into hers. She keeps it, but that's dishonest now.
