Case Of The Elevator Duck

Bless me. [Music] Some detectives going for disguises and all that, but I don't believe in it myself. In my opinion, the best thing to do is just go [Music] natural. That way, no one being a detective. Things are a little slow right now, but that don't mean I could take it easy. I got to keep my eyes open cuz you'll never know. Three children and a possible kidnapper. That's one mean looking fat dude. You mess around with him and he'll squish you flat. Well, don't look like there's no case here. Think I'll go upstairs and get me some breakfast. [Music] What you doing here, Jack? I'm not going to take you. No way. What? You trying to get me in bad trouble or something? [Music] Quit looking at me. Listen, Jack. They don't lock no pets in this project, and I ain't getting us kicked out for no duck. No way. [Music] Okay. Okay. I'll take your case. [Music] There you go, duck. Feels nice and comfortable in here for you. [Music] Move aside, son. Mom. Oh, Gilbert. I don't have no time to play games this morning. Now come on now. Move aside. But but mom Gilbert move. I found it on the elevator. Found it on the We wait two years to get in the project and you bring home a duck. House and police catch us. We'd be thrown out into the streets. Found it on the elevator. Now, what kind of mess is that? Who does duck belong to? That's what I'm investigating about. All right, I'll give you two days to find out who the owner of the duck is. Be quiet, boy. No quacking. Hey man, want to shoot a few? Nah, I'm on a case. Yeah, what case? Secret man, can't talk about it. Sure. Sure, big detective. [Music] Hey, what you doing to yourself? I bet you some crazy somebody out looking for you right now. And I got to let them know I got you without the housing police catching on. [Music] Blue. No, no, no. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Hey, bang. [Music] Bang. On a big case, huh? Too busy to shoot a few baskets, huh? Big time detective. Man, you're pitiful. [Music] Wow, man. [Music] Aren't you going to push a button? What floor do you want? I guess you just dig [Music] elevators. That's okay. I dig them [Music] myself. Well, see you. [Music] Well, Mrs. Williams, uh, I've received a complaint here, uh, that you have animals in the apartment. The rules? No pets in the project? Yes, I would it be possible for me to take a look around? I got to go to the bathroom. Doc, if you ever keep your mouth shut, now it's time. [Applause] Son, can I take a look in there, please? Just a minute. Come in. How you doing, son? Be good. Oh man. Yep. You sure did good in keeping quiet. Gilbert. Gilbert, I've changed my mind. It's getting too dangerous. You don't find out who that duck belongs to by tomorrow morning, I'm taking it to the animal shelter. But mom, no one's going to adopt a full grown duck. They're going to put him to sleep. Well, you heard that, Jack. By tomorrow night, you'll be in somebody pot cooking for supper. [Music] Gilbert, don't poke your fingers through that. [Music] Don't you have anything else better to do? Uh-uh. Well, I'm going to make us some nice hot cocoa. [Music] Mama, what you want, baby? Would you say a duck is a member of the bird family? Why certainly? That's what I thought. I've been going about this whole thing all along. This duck's going to find its own way home. [Music] It's this. [Music] Don't worry about it. We got 14 more floors to go. Is this your floor? [Music] They're going to be here all night before those two get finished. All right, you sis. What are you doing here? All right, listen. There's no layman in the stair hall. I'm going to let you go this time. However, the next time I'm going to take your names down and send them into the office. [Music] Let's go. I know how you feel, but most birds have to migrate hundreds of miles, and you just have to go another 13 [Music] floors. Don't worry, I'm still going to carry [Music] you. Is this it? Take it. [Music] Evil, we ain't come to the right floor yet or something wrong with this bird sense of direction. Hey [Music] Hey, hey, hey. Everything check out fine. I'll go get me some breakfast. [Laughter] I don't believe it. After all that trouble I went through. What's the matter with that kid? I exposed myself to danger on account of him and this is how he pays me back. Ooh, I'mma tell that kid a piece of my mind. [Music] Get this dog out of here. What more you bring this dog back? Housing police, they told us we don't get rid of dog, they get rid of us. So my little brother Julio, he starts to cry and cry here. One dear, one dear. He got one friend, this dog. So we put dog on elevator. Maybe someone will take him and love him. And now you bring this dog back. What? You want to break my little brother's heart again? Salt Ve, please, please. This not our dog no more. This is your dog. Keep it. Man, this is pit. Why did I take this case? Why didn't I wait around for something more routine, like a mugging? [Music] Man, I'mma go crazy with all these idea I keep getting. [Music] Wow, that's good. I brought this junk for the daycare center for the kids. It belongs to Julio. Julio. Julio, come here. [Music] Ma, wait one moment, please. What I said before, I'm sorry. That's all right. What you did for Julie on the dock, that was nice. Thank you. Us detectives run into all kinds of stuff like that. Well, see you. Goodbye. [Music] Yeah. Heat.
