Mamma? I'm tired of waiting!
Oh we all are darling, we all are.

Hey, did I tell you that I asked for
better seats to see the movie?

They're going to
let us know soon.

If we ever get out of here! Dad would've
called the National Guard by now.

Ah well, maybe he's learnt
to take life a little easier.

[SHARP GRUNT]



Danny! It's not nice making fun of
your father like that!

[ANGRILY] Why do you defend him
if you divorced him!

[EXHALES IN FRUSTRATION]

Listen! You should wait here for me, ok?
Now, Danny, keep an eye on your sister.

Okay.

No Andre, it's the last time I tell you,
leave your wife and then we'll talk.

Please, when's the next
flight to Miami?

[ANGRILY] No! No!
Leave your wife then we'll talk.

I want to be the only one and I'm not
going to share you with anybody else.

[FRUSTRATED] Hey, excuse me!
When's the next flight to Miami?



Andre?[PHONES RING IN THE DISTANCE]

Please Andre, leave your wife.

[ANGRILY] When's the next flight...

- to Miami?
- Andre?

DANNY: Don't mind her.

She's only eight.

You've got to stop going around bugging
people with the same dumb question!

Oh they're great!

- Erm, you like?
- DANNY: No thank you!

DANNY: We don't have any
money anyway.

No dollars... nada dollari.

DANNY: Nada!

Well, no dollars, no muñecas.

Why did you send him away?
I didn't send him away, dummy!

He went away himself when I told
him we didn't have any money.

And besides, those dolls are ugly.

I already told you,nada dollars!

It's a present for her.
I don't want any dollars.

Oh thank you!

Who? The fat man! I tried to
tell you but you wouldn't listen.

Pearl, now you listen.
Give me the doll.

[DIAMONDS JANGLE ON TABLE]

[COMMISSIONER LAUGHS]

This doll belongs to you?

It's mine and I want it back.

- Where did you get it.- PEARL: The fat man gave it to me.

He was nice, not like you.

Commissioner, please... Couldn't we
just skip the Perry Mason re-run.

[OUTRAGED] But Señora...

I have in front of me diamonds
worth thousands...

if not millions of dollars!

COMMISSIONER: [WHISPERING]
How much do you think they are worth?

[ANGRILY] How am I supposed to know?
I am an American citizen!

Inform my counsel, inform the
American embassy.

[PLANE TAKING OFF]

MAN: Mrs. Morris,
Miss Rebecca Sanchez.

REBECCA: Hi, how do you do?

Danny, Pearl, come say hello
to Miss Sanchez, come on.

Pleased to meet you.
REBECCA: Hi, you can call me Rebecca.
PEARL: [SHYLY] Hello Miss Sanchez.

[OBJECTS RATTLE TOGETHER]

Uhm, here they are! These
are for Pearl, in case she catches cold
she has a very delicate stomach, and...

she mustn't take any other
kind of medication.

Okay, and as for Danny.

Well, Danny's my little man.
He doesn't need much taking care of.

Mrs. Morris, don't worry about your
children, I'll take good care of them.

Your children couldn't be
in more capable hands.

MAN: We'll do everything in our power.
Don't forget, you're an American citizen
with inalienable rights.

MAN: In fact I'll contact your
lawyer immediately. And, of course,
I'll get in touch with your husband.

Oh well, you needn't bother with
that, we haven't spoken in five years.

JANE: Okay, kids come here.
Mummy wants to talk to you.

JANE: Now, listen, I want you
kids to behave yourselves okay?

PEARL: [SAD]
Where you go Mommy?

JANE: Well, mommy has to go away
for just a few days but I'll be back
soon, I promise!

PEARL: [SAD]
But I want to go with you.

JANE: [LAUGHING]
I know sweetheart.

DANNY: Mommy has to do something very
important, and we can't go with her.
I'll explain...

JANE: Danny, you take good care
of your sister, okay?

MAN: Mrs. Morris?
Pearl: [CRYING] I love you mommy.

Holy mother, please help me.

My mom is in jail and
I have to save her.

But without your help,
I don't know what to do.

DANNY: Maybe you could

DANNY: She's innocent!

How come you were following us?

DANNY: Cause I wanted

ANGELITA: You're lucky.

ANGELITA: You got off with just a
couple of cuts on the nose.

DANNY: Don't worry, he'll get his.
[ANGELITA LAUGHS]

Si, he's our leader.

[ALL LAUGH AT DANNY]

MIGUEL: [LAUGHING] Gringo... Raw fish!

[CHILDREN CONTINUE TO LAUGH]

What's going on?

Pepito has a passion for ladies
walking their dogs.

It's his specialty.

He sneaks up to them
with his scissors and zat!

What?

With the scissors and zack!

Zack?

Your children couldn't
be in better hands...

now isn't that what you said?
Or am I just dreaming that's
what you said?

Look, I want my son back and
I want him back now.

Danny's only eleven years old.
If anything happens to him...

I swear to you I am going to find you,
Miss Sanchez, and the entire staff
of the American embassy responsible.

MAN: Any way you look at it,
boy running away is a big problem.

I'm in permanent contact with the police.
He'll show up sooner or later. Let's go.

MIGUEL: Nobody gives diamonds away.

ANGELITA: Still, his mother is
in prison for diamond smuggling.

MIGUEL: That's true.

MIGUEL: You have to give us more
if you want us to help you.

I have this.

No...

How do you expect us to help you,
if you don't have any dollars?

I'll get you all the dollars you want,
but first we have to find that doll
vendor and get my mom out of jail.

I don't usually work that way.
But I give you a chance.

MIGUEL: How much money do you
think you can get?

Five?
[EL GORDO WHISTLES]

- Five dollars?
- DANNY: No, no, no. Five...

Hundred.

[GASPS]

[ANGRILY] Five hundred dollars?
DANNY: No, no, no.

Five... Five thousand.

Five thousand.

[ANGRILY] Five thousand dollars?
- DANNY: Yes.

Five thousand dollars. It's a deal.
DANNY: Deal.

DANNY: And let's not forget about the
diamonds. We'll be millionaires.

[SOUNDS FROM CARTOONS]

[PEARL LAUGHS]

[LAUGHING]

Will you turn that infernal
racket down please?

Why are you missing a sock?

[PEARL GIGGLES]

So tell me, why!

Pearl... Is everything okay?

Yes, why is he missing a sock?

Oh! Well...

Many counsels wear
their socks like this.

[COUNSEL LAUGHS]
Of course.

[SARCASTIC] I bet...
[PEARL LAUGHS]

He's fat, has a big head, and goes
around with a cart full of dolls.

If you see him, you'll recognise
him immediately.

He sort of looks like a
big doll of himself.

[CHILD] I don't get it! If
he's a man how can he be a doll?

Hello, Andre?

[INDISTINCT AIRPORT NOISES]

DANNY: I don't understand, the doll
he gave my sister was full of diamonds.

MIGUEL: What's there to understand?
I told you, no one in their right mind
goes around giving diamonds away.

DANNY: Lay off Miguel! Why would I lie,
when my own mother's life is at stake?

ANGELITA: He's right.

MIGUEL: He could be using his mother
as an excuse, and still be lying.

I'm not a liar.

Okay, okay, I believe you.

Let's follow him!

[SEAGUL]

[WAVES CRASHING]

[CLAPS HANDS]

Hey!

What are you stopping for?
We're going to lose him!

Hey Danny look!

What's the big deal?

It's the first time they've
ever seen the ocean.

CHILDREN: Yes! Look at all that water!

[INDISTINCT CLAMOUR FROM GROUP]

[RADIO PLAYING SPANISH MUSIC]

Because of him
my mother is in jail.

He's a coward that's
what he is.

DANNY: He gave my sister a doll filled
with diamonds and they arrested
my mother for smuggling.

Then your son ran away, disappeared
on me didn't you? You coward.

Yes, yes it's true...

[LOUD SLAP]

Now my mother is in jail.

[LOUD SMACK]

[CLAMOUR OF THINGS FALLING]

[YELLING] Time to tell the truth!

Speak!

[RESIGNED] Okay, okay.
But I'm not guilty.

There are some guys
who works in the airport.

He gives me those dolls
to give to another person.

Why do you do it?

For money!
He gave me money.

[OBJECTS SMASH]

[CHEERING FROM THE CHILDREN]

[UPBEAT MUSIC FROM RADIO]

[DOOR SLAMS]

WOMAN: What? Sure I know him
he's my client.

A real gentleman.
Both he and his friend.

He shows up every few weeks or so.

Very elegant, always dressed in black.

Buys a thousand or so dolls at a time.

And always pays much
more than their worth.

He drives a big American car.

I don't know what his name is.

He never told me and I never asked.

But I remember he talks
with a Maracaibo accent.

He's not from Caracas,
of that I'm sure of.

Especially because of that
enormous ring that he wears.

It's square.

It has many diamonds with
an emerald in the middle.

[CHILDREN CHEER]

[ALL TOGETHER]: Cheese!

Mommy!

JANE: Pearl! I missed you.

PEARL: I love you!
JANE: I love you too darling!

[JANE SIGHS]

So, you still haven't found him?

COUNSEL: No news is good news.

Police are still looking for him.

There's been no reports of any drownings
no abductions. Nobody matching his
description has shown up in the morgues.

- I'd say that's good news, wouldn't you?
- No.

Mrs. Morris we have a pretty
good idea of what our strategy
for your defense is going to be.

- But uhm...
- But what?

But, we need money.

What do you expect me to
do about it? My credit cards
are lost and I've run out of cash.

Don't worry Jane. Call me at
the embassy I'll get you what you need.

LAWYER: Alright.

Mom, when's Danny
coming back?

I don't know sweetheart.
I wish I did.

I'm tired of watching TV
all by myself.

JANE: Awww. Don't you like
staying with Rebecca?

[PEARL WHISPERS]

[SATISFIED]
Hmmph.

GUARD: Oww.

GUARD: Aha!

What now?

Is your father a millionaire?

- No.
- Then why isn't he with you?

He doesn't live with us anymore.

We only get to see him every
now and then.

He has another family now

I guess we're not as important
to him as we used to be.

If I was a millionaire...
I'd go on an airplane.

Somewhere...

You don't have to be a millionaire
to go on an airplane trip.

For kids like us, plane tickets
cost less than half.

You're pulling my leg.

DANNY: No, it's true.

ANGELITA: Do you like Caracas?
DANNY: I love it.

All the sky scrapers remind
me of New York.

Is that the only reason?

No! I like hanging out in the
hide out with all you guys.

You have a nice smile Danny.

DANNY: What kind of smile?

ANGELITA: It's hard to describe...
But I like it.

Miguel has a nice smile too,

but it's different than yours.

What about the others?

El Gordo stinks!

I'm really glad I met you.

- I really am.
- Me too.

What's the thing you want more
than anything in the world?

To get my mother out of jail, and you?

Ice cream, at the Melia swimming pool.

MIGUEL: Danny do you understand
what you have to do now?

Yep.

MIGUEL: Then go.

DANNY: Excuse me. Could you tell me
how to get to the hotel Hilton?

LADY: Oh yes, I live there.
You take a straight, and you go
to the stop light, and...

[YELLING] Tyson!

[YELLING] Tyson! He's got my dog.

That's my dog!

DANNY: I'll get him!

[WOMAN SHRIEKS]

My dog! My dog!

Oh Tyson!

That awful boy tried
to steal my dog!

But you're my hero!

You deserve a reward!
Oh Tyson.

[RELIEVED] Thanks! Oh Tyson!

Classy dog!

He's the classiest, most dearest
dog in the world to me.
DANNY: Yes, yes.

[RADIO PLAYS UPBEAT MUSIC]

You stole all those clothes
and nobody noticed?

- You're a genius!
- How do you do it?

Yeah, how do you do it?

DANNY: I paid.

You paid! You paid!

[UPROAR]
MIGUEL: With what, credit card?

Money.

MIGUEL: Which money?

The money from the lady
with the dog.

Lady dog! I'm not trusting
you any more gringo.

How about a Cascos de Guayaba?

Yuck! What's that?

Would you like a chocolate cake?

I don't want it.

I'm going to have
a cochitos de jamon.

It's a nice place, isn't it?

No.

May I present, Miguel Marquez.
Son of the ambassador of Guatemala.

DANNY: Angelita Soriano, daughter of
the Argentian ambassador.

Pepe Pui, youngest son of the
Costa Rican Counsel

DANNY: Diego Armando. Son of the

counsel of the United States of America.

This way please.

[SPLASH]

May I suggest an English breakfast?

MAN: Excellent.

And for your daughter?

I'm not his daughter,
in case you're interested.

They're not even husband and wife.

Stop embarassing the waiter Pearl.

It's true they just drag me along so
that people don't know that they're
sleeping together.

My name is Pearl Morris, my
mother's name is Jane.

She's in jail for smuggling diamonds.

She'll have a cachito too.
Thank you.

I had a wonderful, wonderful time.

ANGELITA: I have a surprise for you.

DANNY: Really?

ANGELITA: Tomorrow you can
go see your mother in jail.

DANNY: That's impossible!
I don't believe you.

DANNY: Are you serious?
It's a miracle, how did you do it?

A man who's wife is in jail,
he'll take you with him.

DANNY: You did this for me?
What if they recognise me?

And turn me over to the police, I'm still blonde
and American looking. They'll know it's me.

Not a problem.

DANNY: You are the sweetest, kindest girl.
Not only in Caracas, but in all South America.

If not in the world.

What's happened?

DANNY: H-h-have you tried the machine?

MANOLITA: I'll go and try.

[COIN DROPS]

I know that sooner or later
he'll get me out.

What's driving me crazy
is that Danny's out there, you know?

And something might happen to him.

[LAUGHING] It's ridiculous...

He's able to find me all by himself,
and you with the help of the police

are still unable, to find
an eleven year old child.

I just...

[TEARFUL] I'm just so afraid of what
might happen to him, that I
can't sleep at night.

You just have no idea how
horrible this has been for me.

Believe me, I sympathise with
you Mrs. Morris.

But on the other hand, the police
are scoring the city, so something's
bound to come up soon.

Do you have children?

Unfortunately not.

No children.

First they try to run us
down with the cadillac.

Then they came and demolished
our hide-out.

It looks like they're trying
to tell us something.

and it's bad news.

Well, at least we know we're
on the right path.

Yeah, straight to the cemetery.
Those bastards don't play.

[COIN DROPS]

DANNY: But if we could-
MIGUEL: No Danny!

[HITS MACHINE]

Right now what we have to
do is find us a new hideout!

We'll deal with the man
in black later.

Eduardo what happened?
Who did this to you?

He will kill me.
Go away.

Who? The man in black?

Is he the one who did
this to you? Answer me!

DANNY: Why did they beat you up?

What did he say to you?

[EDUARDO COUGHS]
EDUARDO: Okay.

Go ask the panthers.

MIGUEL: Panthers? What panthers?

What are you talking about?

[PAINED] How? How am I suppose
to know everything?
[COUGHS]

[PAINED] Only... I ... Only heard
them say that he will leave with
the panthers.

[CHILDREN CHEERING]

[SPLASHING]

[CHILDREN SPLASH ABOUT AND CHEER]

I just can't figure it out. I'll be
leaving with the panthers.

What could it mean?
Don't ask me, I gave up trying
to figure it out, long ago.

If you ask me, Eduardo made it all up.

[TO HIMSELF] The panthers...
[ANGRILY] Panthers?

It's crazy.

Thanks guys.

You're the best friends
I've ever had.

Next to my mother and sister.

[CHEERING JOYFULLY]

[ALL CELEBRATE]

I'll go to the police.

Oh no! Stay away from the police.
If anything, go to your consul.

Alright then, I'll go to the embassy.

We'll all go with you.
We're your best friends, right?

Then one for all and all for one!

[SHOUTING]
Let's go!

[CLAMOUR FROM THE STREETS]

It's the same in the States.

It's not as crazy as
the Yankee fans can get.

Panthers! Panthers!

[CHILDREN CELEBRATE!]

What's the name of their team?

The Panthers. They're the
Caracas Panthers.

They're on their way to Miami.

Christ! The Caracas Panthers are
playing Miami in Miami.

- All the fans are on their
way to Miami, right?
- Right.

The Panthers are playing in Miami!
The Panthers! That's what he meant!

Right! And how will they get there?
By plane right? Right! Yes! Okay!

Yes sir Mr Counsel, that's right.
I'll be at the airport in two hours.

Okay, good.

Make sure there's lots of police there.
You know how us kids can be.

the Counsel and the police get here.

We better get started.

Remember, keep your
eye out for the ring.

Anyway, he has the coldest
smile on earth.

DANNY: Worse than Dracula

MIGUEL: What about the diamonds?

He'll probably have them with him too.

He'll probably be loaded with diamonds.
Whoever finds him first,
block him out and whistle the alarm.

If I find the diamonds, I'll make myself
a pair of earrings and a necklace.

Yes sir!
