"Do you know this Prince Valiant?" "He's our new nanny." "Well, some no-goodnik was trying to rob poor Mr. Wong, and boom!" "We sure took him downtown, didn't we, cutie?" "Take good care of him." "Right." "Okay, so seeing you're a local crime fighter," "I suppose the least I could do is show you around and get you started on the right foot." "Oh, there's no need for you to miss work, Mom." "I can just take a day off of school." "No, you're going to school." "I will get them started at work, and I will be back here to meet you at 9:00 sharp." "Your generosity my dear lady is..."
