Going My Way (1944): The Runaway Girl

The clip The runaway girl from Going My Way (1944)

Come right in, Pat.
I got a problem, Father.
Yeah?
Seems like it's more yours than mine.
It's her. Well, Father, it's this way.
Last night I'm walking me beat, see? Who do you think I runs into?
Her?
Mrs. Quimp.
"Officer McCarthy," she says.
You know how the old stool pigeon talks.
Yes, I do.
"If you'll go around the corner, you'll find a girl.
"I've been watching her and she ain't up to no good."
Well, Father, I goes around the corner and there, like the Quimp says, I finds her.
Do you follow me, Father? Yes.
Well, I looks at her and sizes her up.
One of those things, I think. I'm just about to say to her:
"Look, sister, not on my beat."
When she turns, and right away I sees I'm out of line.
You follow me, Father?
Yeah.
To get down to it, Father, I find she's broke and run away from home.
Doesn't know a soul in town.
So, instead of booking her, I takes her home.
It's all right with the missus for one night, but if she stays any longer...
I guess Mrs. McCarthy, good woman that she is...
is no different from any other woman.
You follow me, Father?
I follow you.
So, anyway, she tells us that she's run away from home...
on account of her folks don't understand her.
We tried arguing with her, Father, but she's a tough one.
She thinks "Honour thy father and thy mother" is a belly laugh.
Well, Father, guess I'll let you pick it up from here.
Says her name's Carol James. All right, McCarthy.
So long. Goodbye.
All right. You can go in now.
Come right in. Won't you sit down over here?
Carol, suppose you give us your version of it?
