On the for real side, man,

I can't wait for
the action tonight.

We gonna be on them Warlords
like white on rice.

Yeah, man. We really gonna waste
those chumps bad tonight.

Hey, you with us
tonight, J.J.?

Well, I would like
to join you gentlemen

in this evening's
activities,

but unfortunately,
you see,

I have an emergency
dental appointment.

My baby tooth is starting
to cut through my gums.

See it's right in here.
Oh, the pain.

Hey, man. You trying to tell us
you still got your baby teeth?

Well, I can't help it if my body
grew faster than my baby teeth.

Man, where you gonna
find a dentist

at 8:00 on
a Saturday night?

I don't know, but that's
what makes it an emergency.

J.J., Mad Dog handed
down the word.

Now, you been a Satan's Knight
for three months now,

and you copped out every time
we was getting ready to go down.

You cop out tonight...

instead of going
to the dentist,

you'll be able to mail in
your teeth.

Since you put it that way,

I can put my baby tooth
a little further back

on my priority list.

Now you talking, man, because
we need everybody we can get.

Right on. See, because
when we get finished

wiping out them Warlords,

Satan's Knights will be
the baddest gang in Chicago.

Right on, man.
Right on.

We gotta get them
for last time.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, they put
a hurting on us last time.

Fifteen Satan's Knights
stretched out and two dead.

Yeah, two dead.

Two dead?

Well, see, I'm a Sagittarius,

and my horoscope says today's
a bad day for bleeding.

Cool the jive, J.J.

You better be there.

Yeah, you better
be there.

We'll be here
to pick you up at 8:00,

and Mad Dog
is gonna be with us.

And don't nobody say no
to Mad Dog.

Think on that
for a while.

Hello, Mrs. Evans.
Hello, Mrs. Evans.

Hello there, Sylvester. Tyrone.

Well, why are y'all
standing here in the hall?

J.J., why don't you invite
your friends in?

Oh, you see, Mrs. Evans,
we were just leaving.

We came by to invite J.J.
to a dance tonight.

Yeah.

Oh, that's nice.
You boys have a nice time now.

Thank you, Mrs. Evans,
we will.

Bye, Mrs. Evans.

Bye, now.

Well, goodbye.

Don't forget, J.J.
8:00.

And you better be ready,

or your folks
will need a program

to know who you are.

Hey, Junior.

What's wrong with you?

I seen accident victims
look happier than you do.

Nothing, Dad.
Nothing to worry about.

He's probably trying
to figure out

which one of his girls

he's gonna take
to the dance tonight.

His friends
just invited him.

Yeah?
You gonna take Henrietta, son?

Nah, Dad.
I ain't taking no girl.

You going stag?

Yeah, I expect to be doing
a lot of staggering.

Now, J.J., there isn't gonna
be any drinking is there?

No, Ma, just a lot of punch.

That's nice.

You go and get washed up
for dinner.

Okay, Mom.

Speaking of dinner, baby.
What we got to eat tonight?

Lobster Neuberg.

Huh?

Translation:
cornbread and greens.

Yeah, but we usually have
some meat on Saturday night.

Well, I took one look
at what they had

in the meat market
and I passed.

What was wrong with it?

It was okay,
if you like your meat

a deep, golden brown
before it's cooked.

And the vegetables
ain't no better.

The beets are bushed,
the spinach is spent,

and the Brussels
don't sprout.

But the prices sure do.

You know something, baby?

The only thing
keeping this country

from going to the dogs?

The price of dog food.

Everythingis out of line.

You know, I stopped in
to get you a nice tie,

and I had to go
as high as $1.75.

Oh, now Florida, what you
getting me a tie for, baby?

I already got a tie.

That old stringy black tie
you wear to funerals?

Ain't none of them people
they buried complained about it.

Ah, but this is not
a funeral we going to.

It's not an ending.
It's a beginning.

I still can't get over
little Charlie McDaniel.

All grown up and opening
his own law office.

Yeah, doing it
in style too.

Giving a party for all
the folks who knew him

since he was
a little bitty boy.

That's why I wanted to get you
a good-looking tie.

How you like it?

That's fine, baby.
Is that silk?

For $1.75?

That ain't even minimum wages
to a silkworm.

Yeah, this is real nice,
baby, thank you.

Hey, what you wearing
to the thing?

Well, I tried on
my old cocktail dress

and I had to take it in
a little at the waist.

I'm very happy to report

I've gone down
from a quart to a fifth.

What you say?

Well I say you still
one hundred proof

and you still
go to my head.

Hey, you ain't exactly
Coolidge yourself.

Michael,
stop cheating now.

I'm not cheating,
Thelma.

What y'all two doing?

What does it look like
we're doing?

Playing Monopoly.

See, Michael,

and you said he wouldn't
be able to figure it out.

Thelma, you owe me
for landing on Liberia.

Michael, I told you
to call it Park Place.

I made it African.

Brothers don't own nothing
on Park Place.

Well, I feel weird
saying I wanna buy

two hotels for Ghana.

Is something wrong, J.J.?

You haven't opened your mouth
for almost 20 seconds.

Something must be wrong.

Now it's 25 seconds,
and for you that's a record.

Okay, I'll tell you.

I got myself
a heavy problem

and I need a lot
of brain power to solve it.

Oh?

So, Thelma, why don't you
leave the room

so we can eliminate
the dead wood.

Now he's back to normal.

J.J., this is my room
and I'm staying.

Anyway, how do you know
I can't help?

Because you'll tell.

Me? I won't tell, I swear.

Oh, J.J., you got my word.
I promise I won't tell.

Okay. I'm a member
of the Satan Knights.

Ooh, I'm gonna tell!

Hold on!

Hey, J.J., I thought
you were too smart

to get mixed up
with something as dumb as gangs.

I didn't choose them, Michael.
They chose me.

One day in school, Neckbone
and Mad Dog cornered me

and explained
the benefits

of the Satan Knights health
and accident insurance plan.

They said that if I didn't join,
they had a plan

to insure that I had
an accident to my health.

But you really haven't been
running with them, have you?

No, I mainly been
running from them.

But today they getting down
with the Warlords,

and Mad Dog hisself
is coming personally

to see that
I participate.

Boy I wish I could
declare amnesty

before I went to war.

Why don't you
just say no?

I tried that once

and I almost collected
on my insurance policy.

Hmm. Charlie's invitation
sure is fancy.

It don't even say,
"Bring your own bottle."

Baby, it smells
like dinner is ready.

I'm so hungry I got hunger pains
shooting all through my stomach.

All right, when your pains start
coming three minutes apart,

I'll rush you over
to McDonald's.

I don't think I can make it
to the Big Mac delivery room.

Okay, I'll put dinner out.

You know, I still can't
get over Charlie.

A lawyer.

That just goes to prove,
even in this neighborhood,

nothing can keep you
from reaching the top

unless you let it.

That's right, baby.

All these kids going wrong,
it sure gives you a kick

when you see a young brother
making something out of himself.

You got a few
good kicks coming

if I know those three kids
we got back there.

Yeah.

Hey, we making such a big deal
about Charlie being a lawyer,

we almost forgot
that Michael's a sure bet

for the Supreme Court.

I sure makes good babies.

The wonder is,
you did it all alone.

That little girl
that you made all by yourself

is pretty special too.

Yeah, that's because she takes
after her mama.

Aww.

You know Thelma's got
a lot of promise, baby.

I bet she could be a lawyer too
if she wanted to.

Well, just imagine that.

The first brother and sister
on the Supreme Court.

Hot damn. What a family.

And don't forget
Kid Dy-no-mite.

He's making a special place
for himself with his paintings.

Yeah, I gotta admit though,

I was worried about Junior
there for a while.

Seemed like he had oatmeal
in his head.

Oh, James.

But he got himself
straightened out.

Yes sir.
We got us some family.

Them kids didn't have
no easy road, baby.

But they traveling
right now.

You're right.

That's because they had me
to guide them.

And I did it all
by myself, huh?

Hey, J.J., you can get killed
going against the Warlords.

Yeah, I won a fight with my fist
once in a while,

but when it comes to guns,
never.

I'll tell you one thing
I like about my body.

It ain't got no holes in it.

Well, too bad you can't say
the same thing about your head.

You know, for once
you're right, little sister.

Them Warlords are mean.

There must be 300 Warlords.

Five hundred.

How many Satan Knights
are there?

One hundred.

According to the
latest J.J. poll,

500 go into 100...

as many times
as they want to.

I'm gonna tell Daddy
about it.

Now hold on there, girl!

You know, J.J., if Daddy finds
out what's happening, man,

he gonna kill you.

Problem number one.

And if Mama finds out
you belong to a gang,

oh, J.J., it'll break
her heart.

Problem number two.

And if you don't go
to the fight tonight,

Mad Dog and all
the Satan Knights

gonna be out
to kill you.

Problem number
three through 10.

FLORIDA:
Children, dinner's ready.

And that's problem
number 11.

How to get Mom and Dad
out of the house

before Mad Dog
and the gang get here.

Come on, children.

Ooh, that looks good.

What were you all doing
back there so long?

Just rapping.

Oh, that's nice.

J.J., say the blessing.

Thank you, Lord, for the food
we are about to receive.

And may he continue
to receive it

while he's at the
receiving hospital.

What's that supposed to mean,
Thelma?

Dad--
Uh, nothing, Dad.

Uh, nothing.

She's just trying to provide
a little entertainment.

And, uh, speaking
of entertainment,

as everyone
seems to be these days,

what are you two lovely parents
doing this p.m.?

It was a choice between
turning on the TV

and watching the fights

or opening the window
and listening to them.

The TV won.

You mean you gonna watch TV
on that old set?

That picture's
got so much snow in it,

Redd Fox comes out white.

Why don't y'all
go to the movies,

see something
on a big widescreen,

stereophonic sound and color.

Junior, you must be joking.
$2.50 a ticket?

I rate all them movies TD,
for Too Damn Expensive.

Pass the hot sauce.

Come on, Ma and Dad,
live it up.

You deserve a night out.
That's right.

There are a lot
of good movies playing.

Blackbell Jones, Blacula,
Black Godfather, Six Black Men.

They all sound
like violent pictures to me.

I don't like violence.

But when they get off
the screen,

they're still able
to walk out alive.

There's a comedy out
with James Earl Jones

and Diahann Carrol
called Claudine.

James Earl Jones
is a garbage man,

and she's on welfare.

Julia on welfare?

Ooh, boy. This I got to see.

Honey, we haven't been
to a movie in a long time.

Wanna go?

Well...
I'll pop for the popcorn.

Small size.

Why not? It'll do us good
to get out the house.

It's just kinda nice
of you kids

to want to see us
have a good time.

That's all right.
Don't mention it.

I'll wash the dishes.
And I'll dry.

And I'll say the grace.

After the meal?

Yeah, suddenly I feel
the need for a prayer.

[KNOCKING]

That's them.

I'll get it.

Michael, maybe
we shouldn't answer it.

We got to sooner or later.

You think J.J.'s plan
has a chance?

It better.

Or J.J. don't have
a chance.

Who you supposed to be?

I'm Michael,
J.J.'s brother.

Okay.

You tell your brother
that we're here, dwarf.

Yeah, we're here,
dwarf.

J.J.?

Something
is here to see you.

Who's the fox?

She's my sister.

Hey, sweet thing, I'm Mad Dog.
What's your name?

Thelma.

Thelma?

Thelma.
Thelma.

Where you get
a weird name like Thelma?

When I was born,
my mama took one look at me

and called me Thelma.

Just like your mama
took one look at you

and called you Mad Dog.

Hey, Mad Dog. You want me
to punch her out, man?

Hey, man. You better leave
my sister alone, Boneneck.

It's Neckbone, brother.

Hey, hey.
Be cool, man.

We got no time to go through
changes with the fox.

J.J., I'm waiting
on you, man!

Hi, fellas.

What's the matter
with you, man?

I'm sick, man.
Real sick.

Yeah, he's running
a fever.

That's right.
How high is it now, J.J.?

I dunno, Thelma,
but it says,

"To be continued
on the next thermometer."

Neckbone?
Yeah?

Go see
what that thing says.

Yeah, Dog.

Hey, man, I wouldn't get
too close. It's catching.

Get out the way,
brother.

He got chills
and everything.

He's gotta get back in bed.
He can't go anywhere tonight.

Yeah, I'm supposed to go
into emergency surgery

as soon as they find
the right color thread.

98.6, same as
his weight.

Ah!

You playing the nut role.

Yeah, you playing
the nut role.

The only sickness you got
is chicken fever.

And if you don't get well
real quick,

me and this .22
are gonna make it fatal.

All of a sudden my temperature
just went down 22 degrees.

Right back to normal.

Get yourself together, blood.
We got to move.

We moving?

Moving right along.

This here crib is really sharp.

Yeah, it's really sharp.
Yeah.

We'll have to up J.J.'s dues
a couple of bucks a month.

I hear it.

Anybody live this good
can afford it.

Hey, man.
Leave our stuff alone.

Our mom and dad
don't like nobody

messing with our stuff.

Your daddy?

You mean your old man
still stays here with y'all?

Sure.

Well, my old man split
right after I was born.

Hmm. I don't blame him.

Come on, man. Let me drive
on this chick, man.

Now, I told you
to save it.

We got no time
for preliminaries.

We got a main event
with the Warlords, remember?

You brothers shouldn't be
fighting other brothers anyway.

Ain't you ever heard
of black unity?

Black unity?

Yeah, ain't that
a rock group

that play
over on the South Side?

Rock group
on the South Side!

Not at all
hard to do!

It means black people
ain't going nowhere

until we stop fighting
and learn to work together.

My brother's right.

Every time you fight,
it not only hurts you,

but don't you know it hurts
our whole community?

So what?
What do you mean, so what?

So why don't you just call
this whole thing off?

What you say, brother?

I say I ain't your brother.
That's what I say.

Besides, fighting helps
to make a man out of you.

Ain't that right, Mad Dog?

Damn right.

When is it gonna start
helping you?

You asking for trouble--

[YELLS]

Kung fu karate chop suey.
Let's do it, y'all. Come on.

J.J., have you lost
the little bit of mind you have?

Out of my way, girl!

I'm gonna break bones,
kick some butts!

All right.
Now you with it.

I am a Satan Knight.
All right!

Right on, J.J.
Ha, ha, yeah!

Sure got together
fast there, J.J.

Uh, I'm raring to go.

Don't hold me back.
What's the plan?

Simple. We just sneak in they
territory and start popping.

How you plan on sneaking
100 dudes in their territory?

Dressed as welfare workers?

Come on, let's go.

Yeah, let's
get it on, man.

Uh, don't y'all
wanna hear my plan?

What plan?

Huh. Glad you asked.

Thelma, take notes
of this great plan.

Michael, guard the door

and make sure nobody
hears this great plan.

Here is the first leg of the
greatest plan in the world.

First we sneak
into their territory.

I already said that.

Uh, that's the good part.

See, so we gonna be close to the
Cook County General Hospital

so we won't have to go so far
for treatment.

You trying to stall, J.J.?

No, I just wanna make sure
I lay the plan on y'all.

Now, here is the plan.

Uh...
here is the plan.

You already said that.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Uh, Yeah I just wanted
to make sure

y'all was paying attention.

Uh, Thelma?

Score Mad Dog a hundred
for paying attention.

Spit it out.

Uh, this is the plan
that won World War II.

Personally endorsed
by George C. Scott.

[UNINTELLIGIBLE]

Wait, I got something
important to say!

What?

I don't wanna go.

[CLAMORING]

James, we could have waited
a little while longer.

Freeze our butts off
waiting in that line?

We can do that at home
free of charge.

I guess you're right.

But the kids gonna be
so disappointed.

Well...

FLORIDA:
J.J.!

Ma, Dad, I thought y'all
went to the movies.

We was, but we
changed our mind.

What's going on here?

Well, what you doing
dressed like this?

And Tyrone, Sylvester,
why are you holding him?

Well, like I told you, Mom,
I'm going to this dance,

and these are my escorts.

Well, y'all
turn him loose.

Hey, man.
Get out of the way.

We got business
with the Warlords.

Boy, I don't give a damn
who you got business with.

My son ain't going
to no gangfight.

What the hell you doing getting
mixed up with a gang?

I ain't--
J.J., you're in a gang?

No, Ma. They chose me.
I didn't choose them.

I told y'all now.
Turn him loose.

And I told you to get on,
old man.

Who do you think
you're talking to that way?

I'm Mad Dog, dig it, head
of Satan's Knights War Council.

Is that supposed
to be something big?

You heard
what I said.

Mad Dog, you don't get your hand
out of my wife's face,

I'm gonna slap
a muzzle on you.

Now, Junior ain't going
to no gangfight.

Junior ain't got
no choice!

Hey now, watch out!

[J.J. YELLS]

JAMES:
Junior! Somebody call
an ambulance.

Call an ambulance!
Please, do something!

Call an ambulance!

J.J., say something,
baby.

Somebody's been shot.

James, he fainted.
Do something. Call somebody.

Quick,
call an ambulance!

Get us some help,
please!

WOMAN:
Who shot him?

ANNOUNCER:
You have just seen part
one of "J.J. and the Gang."

Stay tuned for scenes
from next week's show.

Now, baby, all I need is five
minutes alone with that Mad Dog.

Just five minutes with him.

But Daddy, that's only
gonna cause more trouble.

And besides,
after the court hearing,

they'll put Mad Dog away
where he belongs.

Yea, the same as Neckbone
and that other character.

They still walking the street.

Now, James, before you do
anything you'll be sorry for,

remember what the
Good Book said,

"Turn the other cheek."

Well you let Mad Dog
turn the other cheek,

Refer to me as Your Honor.
Don't call me "Man."

I was giving you
the benefit of the doubt.

Baby, I done told you,

you ain't got nothing
to do with this no more.

This between me and Mad Dog.
One on one.

[WHISTLING]

What are you doing eating
pretzels for breakfast?

Baby, don't think of these
as pretzels.

Think of them
as Mad Dog's finger.

ANNOUNCER:
Be sure to watch
Good Times next week

"J.J. and the Gang."
