You're in for it now, missy.
Mother Little hates when animals
walk in here off the street.
When she sees this, she's going to throw a fit.
Such a pretty little birdie.
Maybe it's just my friends she hates.
- I found her.
- Found me? He saved my life.
He did?
- From a falcon.
- What's that?
Stuart saved this little bird from a falcon.
A falcon? They are fierce creatures.
Why does the city have falcons?
That shouldn't be allowed. Write a letter.
On the other hand, we have a hero here.
Way to go, Stuart.
- Hey, Dad.
- What?
Silver lining.
It's a guy thing.
Is it?
Isn't it nice that Stuart has a friend?
I don't think Stuart thinks of her as a friend.
- What do you mean?
- I mean he's smitten.
He's infatuated. He's bedazzled.
But he's a baby.
Boys start having crushes really young.
Frederick, did you have many crushes?
I'm still having one.
So, Margalo, can I get you anything else?
Whip you up an omelette? Pop you a tart?
Stuart, I'm full.
Full? You eat like a bird.
Come on, Stuart, time for school.
I'm not going to school.
I'm staying home to take care of Margalo.
Guess again. You are going to school,
and I'll take care of Margalo.
Look both ways crossing the street...
...wear galoshes and, in art class,
don't run with scissors.
I'll get your backpack.
Mothers... You know.
- Well, I don't really know.
- No?
See, my mum just kind of one day...
...wasn't there anymore.
So you've been completely
on your own all your life?
- You bet.
- I'll bet it's been scary.
No, it's been an adventure.
I wish I had some adventures.
I'm only allowed to paint.
Hey, life is an adventure.
Just walking out that door is an adventure.
Come on, Stu. We're late.
Go for it, kid.
The adventure begins.
That feels like enough adventure for one day.
Hey, look! The Yankees won.
There we go.
Can you say, "Walk with Mummy"?
"Mummy"?
"Walk"?
Nothing.
Martha and I are going out for a bit.
Can I bring you anything?
No, thanks.
Say, "Bye-bye, birdie."
Say, "Bye-bye." Martha. Say, "Bye-bye, birdie."
Fresh air.
Remember me?
You scared me.
What can I say? I'm a scary guy.
So, Margalo, you case the joint?
Any valuables? Come on, thrill me. Chill me.
They ain't got much.
The mum's got a ring, but it's only two carats.
All right, fine.
What else have they got?
Well, you know, not that much.
I mean, they mostly just have each other.
A moment while I vomit.
Why don't we just try somewhere else?
Because you're set up here.
They trust you. They like you.
And maybe...
...you like them.
Hey, Margalo, come on.
Don't con a conman.
Nobody else ever invited me to live with them.
Oh, really? Who found a pitiful orphan bird...
...and plucked her out of the gutter?
Who shared his food with her...
...and, I hasten to add,
taught her a trade? Who?
- You did.
- I did. Right.
Well, then, straighten up and fly right.
And remember, you are here on business.
You're not here to play around.
Come on, Falcon!
When I'm on a job, I never play around!
Are you cold?
I guess when the weather gets too cold,
you'll just fly south for the winter?
Well, to tell you the truth, I've never flown south.
It's kind of a dream of mine.
Get out of this cold, windy city,
catch that jet stream...
Fruit trees, millions of new birds to meet.
- I hear it's paradise.
- Then how come you haven't gone?
Something's always stopping me.
Something's always stopping me, too.
Everybody around here thinks
I'm too small to accomplish anything.
Hey, the way I see it, you're as big as you feel.
Yeah. Boy, I'm really glad you fell into my car.
I mean, you know...
I mean I'm not glad you fell. I just...
Want some more popcorn?
Okay.
What?
My pin.
It's fixed. How...
On my way home from school,
I drive right past where you crashed.
It was no big deal.
I mean, there was finding it...
...figuring out how the pieces fit together...
...and you know, fixing it.
And no big deal. Just...
Oh, Scottie.
