The Incredible Hulk (1978) s03e16 Episode Script

We're going to rip Mrs.
Taylor off this afternoon.
Go ahead, let them crack the safe.
Hey, there's rats in here! We were worried about you, David.
I guess we owe you a cut.
We're gonna make a fortune.
I don't want you interfering with them.
Is that clear? Dr.
David Banner, physician, scientist.
Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have.
Then, an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.
And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.
The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.
Mr.
McGee, don't make me angry.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit.
David Banner is believed to be dead.
And he must let the world think that he is dead until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
Hey, man, you all right? Yeah.
I think so.
Jody, come on! I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, mister.
Hey! Hey! You dropped your locket! Man, Jody was a chicken.
I was not.
Oh, yeah? Then why were you shaking? I wasn't.
You were, too.
You know you shouldn't be doing things like that.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Pardon me.
I believe this belongs to one of the girls.
We sort of bumped into one another.
Jodie, what do you say? Thanks.
Her mother gave it to her.
I'd like to thank you, too.
Rita Montoya.
David Bannister.
These are some of my kids.
Mickey, Jody.
This is the black sheep of the family.
Hot water hasn't worked right since we moved in.
Do you know anything about this stuff? Well, no, actually I know very little.
Why don't you take a look? You gotta know more than me.
I'll give it a shot, okay? Rita! Oh, boy, here comes the old suit and tie.
The exterminators said they can't finish the out building for a couple of days, so just have the girls stay away from it.
Okay.
Oh, also, Mrs.
Taylor called about the auction fund-raiser.
The morning press conference is set.
Does she know I'm bringing the girls? Yeah, I told her, and there's no problem.
Just have a good show.
The local news'll be there.
I'm not sure, but I think you have a stuck thermostat.
Rita, you finally hired a handyman.
It's about time.
Peter, this is I'm Peter Grant.
I'm the bureaucrat Rita has to answer to.
I'm David Bannister.
I'm just helping out.
Well, if you can fix this, you're hired.
I'm sure Mr.
Bannister already has a job.
Oh, is that right? Peter Well, actually, I am looking for work.
Well, terrific.
I've been telling Rita to hire somebody for ages.
I was just trying to save the state a little money.
I know that sounds strange, coming from a civil servant.
Oh, nonsense.
With him around, you'll have more time for those teas where you so expertly shame the rich out of their money for the orphanage.
He'll be a good investment.
Well, David? Take it.
I mean, if you need the job.
Oh, you don't have to sell me.
What do you say, Rita? Even the girls like him.
Of course.
Sure.
Glad to have you aboard.
Thank you.
That's right, Mrs.
Taylor.
No, Rita said that the menu is just fine.
But she would like you to make the wine selection, since she and the children will be having milk.
Right.
Fine.
Thank you very much.
They got you working hard.
I know they don't pay you much.
You better learn to take it easy.
I'll try and remember that.
Where you from? Lots of places.
Ain't got no home? Not right now I don't, no.
You ain't got to jive me.
Not me.
I figured out right away.
You on the streets, no home, no job.
You're an orphan, too.
Ain't you? Sort of, yes.
Maybe you can come to the meat market.
The what? Meat market.
That's where they show us for adoption.
There's one this afternoon.
Maybe you can come.
You're old, but at least you're white.
Maybe you'll get lucky.
Thanks.
I don't think so.
Gave up, huh? You know, living in an orphanage is not the worst of all possible worlds.
I mean, you have friends here, you have a home.
That's a lot more than other children can say.
You talk a awful lot like Rita.
Did you know your folks? Yes.
I didn't.
I thought you said your mother gave you that locket.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I mean, you know, she left it for me.
Oh, Jody, there you are.
Uh, listen, dear, you don't have to bother today, going to the showing.
Yeah, sure.
I get it.
Probably just wanted someone a little lighter.
I'm sorry.
You know, Jody, when I was a kid they were choosing up teams, I was always the last one they chose.
But they chose you.
David, did you tell Mrs.
Taylor the men What is it? Meat market? I know, baby.
It doesn't get any easier, does it? I may not be much of a consolation prize, but You've always got me.
Come on, light up the room with that pretty smile of yours.
That's better.
Come on, we've got a lesson.
Mickey? Don.
Don, the girls.
Oh, I forgot.
You have to set a good example, don't you? I thought we agreed you weren't going to come around here.
I just want to make sure that everybody's ready for Mrs.
Taylor.
Everybody's ready.
All right.
Let's see.
Girls, aren't you forgetting something? Go.
Very good.
Very good.
You taught them well, Rita.
You always were a real pro.
Don't worry about the paperwork.
Peter will handle it.
I'm gonna miss you, Lisa.
Don't forget to write.
Hi.
Want to help me fix the water heater? Lots of fun there.
Hey, come on.
You know, Jody, it's okay that you wanted to go.
I mean, you don't have to feel embarrassed.
I ain't embarrassed.
They were real weird.
Okay.
David, you're all alone, aren't you? Yeah.
Don't you get tired of that? I mean, don't you want to have someone around sometimes? You mean, like a Maybe.
Jody, that's not possible.
Yeah.
I guess you would want someone who looks a little more like you.
Hey, if I were going to have a Believe me, you're better off right here.
I don't know.
I'm doing these things Well, they just ain't cool.
What kind of things? Like talking to you.
Can't you tell, Jody? He's just like those chumps that were here today.
Those chumps that wanted some cuddly, little white baby.
Uh, that's not the reason.
You just heard it for yourself.
Jody, he doesn't want you.
Jody, it's not a case of wanting you or not.
Man, all we got is ourselves and Rita.
That's it! Don't go counting on no one else.
Come on, let's go mess around.
Come on, Jody.
Don, I I really better get back to work.
What's the matter, Rita? You've had an awful lot of headaches lately.
I don't know, I Guess I'm just not sure about things.
Things? You mean us or the girls? Both.
Let's start with the girls.
I wish we'd never started this.
Rita, are you crazy? We are gonna make a fortune.
And the girls? They should have something better.
At least better than what I've had.
What is with you? You didn't talk like this in the slam when you and me worked out this plan.
We're gonna stick it to the system, remember? Now, look, we teach a couple of the older girls, if they work out Don, I didn't know the girls then.
You really care about them, don't you? And us? Sometimes it just isn't there.
Like now.
If you want us to break up, that's okay.
But business is business.
And you're not backing out of the scam.
If you try to, I'll just write a couple of letters to the right people.
Let them know your real name, the fact you've done time.
Let's see how long they let you keep your girls.
Why don't you kids watch where you're going? Why don't you watch where you're standing? Why, you punk Hey, what's this? Give me that.
Not so fast.
Hey, maybe it's his.
Would you let me go, stupid? We'll just straighten this out.
We didn't do nothing, man.
Hey, I bet these kids are from the orphanage.
Put them in a good neighborhood and look what happens.
Hey, mister, we got your wallet.
Yeah, we figured something was wrong when we saw you chasing these Thanks a lot.
Yeah, you go call a cop, we'll hold the girls.
Well, look, I know them and it won't happen again, okay? All right.
Huh? You sure this is yours? What's your name? Look here, it's not mine.
I was just about to return it.
Oh, sure you were.
I'll bet you this guy's in with them.
That's ridiculous.
Then you won't mind sticking around till the cops come, huh? Hold her.
I'll go call.
Look, there's no need to do that.
If you don't believe me, go ahead, return the wallet yourself.
The cops can do that after they bust you! Leave the girls! Get him! Don't give us any trouble, huh? I'll go call the cops.
Hey, I don't know if I can hold him.
Well, let's put him in that bin.
I'll go call the cop.
Hey! Hey! Hey, there's rats in here! You can't fool me, buddy.
Just shut your trap.
Hey! You hear me? I said there's rats in here! Hey, look, buddy, you're just wasting your energy, huh? You worm, George, sneaking out like that.
If you don't come back, my lawyer will leave you without a pair of socks.
Dot, it was the only way.
I knew if I saw you, I'd change my mind.
Like always.
Three minutes.
Signal when through.
I'm sorry, Dot, I don't have any more change.
You just stay there, I'll call you.
What's your number? Dot, please George! Your number! How dare you keep me waiting! I'm warning you, George! If you're not back here in 20 minutes with an appropriate gift of apology, I'm calling my lawyer! Come in.
We were worried about you, David.
Yeah.
Man, you really stood up for us.
I was wrong.
I guess we owe you a cut.
I don't want a cut.
I told you.
You don't gotta be nice to us.
You earned this.
What I want is for you two to return that wallet with everything in it.
See? Why? You know what you did was wrong.
And if you choose this kind of a life, you'll end up going to prison.
Believe me, you don't want to go to prison.
Well, we didn't get caught.
You will.
You almost got caught this afternoon.
Almost got caught at what? Lifting a wallet.
Yeah, and David wants us to give it back.
You girls run along.
I'll take care of this.
David, I'll handle the disciplinary problems here.
It's my job.
I wasn't disciplining them.
They're my responsibility.
I don't want you interfering with them.
Is that clear? Perfectly clear.
I was afraid I might cause something like this.
David, I I want to apologize.
Sometimes I'm overly protective of the girls.
I'll see that the wallet is returned.
Maybe you could stick around.
Uh, I'm sorry, I can't.
Personal reasons.
Is there anything I can do? No.
Could you at least stay through today? I do need you to pick up some of the things for the auction at Mrs.
Taylor's.
I really should leave.
David, it's just for a few hours.
I don't know where I'll find someone else I can trust.
Peter's out of town.
Please? Okay.
Thanks.
So then there was a man here first? Yeah.
We put him in the bin to hold him until the cops got here.
The next thing I know, this Hulk thing, he opened that bin like it was a TV dinner.
I need a 5l8.
Could you describe him? Normal-looking guy.
Average height, brown hair.
You ever see him around this neighborhood before? No.
Nah.
But he said he knew those girls.
And I'll bet you they're from the orphanage.
What orphanage? Chesley Heights.
Just a few blocks from here.
Okay, thanks.
Thanks a lot.
Nobody's here.
Try back later.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Don't forget to fetch those boxes, now.
No mistakes.
Darlings Oh, I'm so sorry, ladies and gentlemen, for being late.
All these details, you know.
Rita, dear, are we ready? Oh, yes, Mrs.
Taylor.
Am I standing in the right place? I believe we're in the right place to start.
Oh! This is going to be so wonderful for our girls.
Maybe they should just interview you, Mrs.
Taylor.
You're much more glamorous than I am.
Nonsense! But thank you.
Rita, dear, why don't you tell them first about the auction? Well, naturally, it's to help support the Chesley Heights home.
We do get some aid from the state, but not nearly enough to support our needs.
We are lucky, really lucky to have friends like Mrs.
Taylor.
Because of her, the girls have doors opened for them that normally would have been closed.
They're exposed to the social graces, and to the many opportunities that our society offers.
We want the girls to know and see things that otherwise would go unnoticed.
We also want to open up the world to them and this is no easy task.
Especially when you consider the narrow, depressed world from which so many of the girls come.
We must socialize the girls, resocialize them.
In ways that are diametrically opposed to those in their background.
By creating a loving and positive environment, we hope to give the girls the confidence they need to cut through the things in life which stand in their way.
We also want to create a learning environment, where the girls will obtain skills.
Practical skills that'll help them get those things in life which have a real and lasting value.
It is only through the generosity of caring people like Mrs.
Taylor, unflinching generosity, that this important work is made possible.
We couldn't do it.
There was nothing wrong with the plan, and the girls knew what they were doing.
Don, I Rita, if you did this on purpose, you're gonna regret it.
Look, I The girls were found out.
That guy, David, who Peter hired.
He caught them in the act.
What'd he do? He made them put everything back.
Did he tell anyone? No.
Well, then the way I see it, there really isn't a problem.
This was just a dress rehearsal.
There's a performance tonight at the auction.
No.
I want out.
Besides, it's too risky.
David knows You want me to start writing those letters? All right.
I'll make a deal with you.
We pull this off.
Then we're through.
No way.
There are too many fat cats out there to skin.
Either Mrs.
Taylor is the last or there won't be any.
You can start writing your letters.
Well, put it like that, and you've got a deal.
Just make sure my name's on the guest list today.
I'll see that everything goes right.
What about David? I'll worry about David.
It's not all my fault, David.
Well, Rita, you're really quite an actress.
I thought you cared about the girls.
You don't understand.
I understand that you're guaranteeing them a miserable future.
You really think they have a better future without me? Do you think the system cares any more about them than I do? They barely give me enough to feed and clothe the girls.
Nothing more.
Nothing! So you make up the difference by stealing? I want to stop.
But I can't.
I started this with that man who just left.
Don.
He won't let me back out.
Then go to the police.
David, my name's not really Rita Montoya.
It's an alias.
I've spent time in prison.
If they find out, I'll lose the girls.
I won't risk that.
I made a deal with Don.
One job.
We're going to rip Mrs.
Taylor off this afternoon and that's it.
Quits.
Mmm-hmm.
Tell me, after you pull off this "one job," do you really think that Don is going to keep his end of the deal? What can I do? He's gonna be there to make sure everything goes right.
To make sure you don't interfere.
All right.
You've taught the girls how to take things from peoples' pockets.
Can they also put things into peoples' pockets? What I mean is, go ahead, let them crack the safe.
But then have them slip the jewels into Don's pocket.
I'll stay here.
I'll call the police, so they arrive at exactly the right time, after you call.
I don't know.
What about Don? I think once the police find the jewels on him, they're going to be less inclined to believe anything he has to say.
Thank you for coming, dear.
Such a very good cause.
Nice to see you gentlemen.
All for our girls at Chesley Heights.
Very well, aren't you? Hello, dear, how nice to see you.
Let me introduce some of my Gertie! Got something on you? Yeah.
Good.
Don says he'll probably be upstairs.
Oh, Mrs.
Taylor always gives such Cocktails? Oh Oh! Oh! I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
Here, let me help you.
It's nothing, don't worry.
Your dress.
I'm sorry.
something on this dress.
Excuse me, Mr.
Bannister? Yes.
We're the guys working on your out building.
Uh-huh.
We got a small problem.
Could you step outside for a minute? Uh, yeah, I can.
Just as soon as I complete this call.
Hello, police department? I'm sorry, it can't wait.
Look, I'm calling from the Police department, Lieutenant Bell.
May I help you? Hello! Hello? Anybody here? Anybody here? You look like you know this stuff.
We're probably doing the exterminators a favor.
Don't worry, girls.
The police will be here any minute.
It's a marvelous idea.
There should be more things like this.
You know what I'm thinking? What if he puts his hands in his pockets? Don't think.
Oh my God! What is that? Everyone keep calm.
Don't move.
Don't panic.
Patty, run and call the police.
Andrew, Kenneth.
Do something.
Well, do something.
Oh, my dear, oh, my dear.
Oh! Oh! It's green! And huge! Must be 7 feet! Have you ever seen Why is he going after that guy? Who is that guy? I don't know, as long as he leaves me alone! My jewels! Why, that man is a thief! Andrew! Kenneth! Don't let that criminal out of here until the police come.
No! Wait! At least he could have opened the doors.
I had to sneak past that dude McGee.
He won't leave our doorstep.
But don't worry.
He ain't getting nothing out of us.
Thank you.
How's Rita? Fine.
She didn't wait for Don.
Told everybody herself about doing time.
But it didn't make no difference.
Say, David, wherever you're going, you might like somebody with you.
I can't give you a home, Jody.
Yeah, but, you know, if we both got to be orphans, hey, we might as well do it together.
If I could give you a life better than the one you've got, believe me, I'd take you right now, but I can't.
And everything's going to be fine now at Chesley Heights, so give it a try, won't you? Okay.
Thank you for that.
I love you, Jody.
You gots to watch yourself, dude.
Mmm-hmm.
