Hurry up, Michael,
you're late.

Get up in the morning,
go to school, come home,

study, go to bed,
get up again,

I just can't keep it up
anymore, Mama.

This rat race
is killing me.

Well, that's the problems you
older men have to face.

There's your lunch
and here's a quarter for milk.

Thanks, Ma.
Have a nice day.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Okay.

Get in here!

Hey, you better be cool.

Hand it over man.

Hand what over?

Come on, come on.

Hey, man.
Eddie, you know

it's against the rule to stop
the elevator like that. Give me!

Yeah, well rules are made
to be broken like your fingers.

Oh, yeah?
Yeah?

Hey, man, Eddie,
cut it out.

Get off of my lunch.

Come on, Eddie, this
is the third time this week

you taking my lunch.
I'm getting sick and tired.

If you so hungry why don't you
join the free lunch program?

Already have, Evans,
and you are it.

Hey, man, I get hungry too
what am I supposed to do?

Why don't you sign up
for the free lunch program?

You really funny, Eddie.

Yeah, well,
don't complain, man.

It's harder on me
than it is on you.

How do you figure?

This is the third day in
a row that you've had meatloaf.

Well, that's just too tough,
give it back.

Look out, Evans.

And don't think that
I forgot about that quarter,

now you give.

I don't have one today.

You think I'm real dumb,
don't you,

Mr. Straight-A Student?

Take it out
of our shoe.

Oldest trick in the world.

Only a jive turkey would try
to pull that kind of con.

And starting tomorrow the price
goes up to 35 cents.

Why?

Inflation man.

It's tough on the small
businessman too.

I wouldn't tell
anybody about this

or the Tooth Fairy is going
to be working overtime

at your house
tonight.

Bye, sucker!

Oh, no.

For once I'd like
to see a button roll out

into the middle of the floor
instead of under the sofa.

If you care anything
about someone who's been working

since 6:00 this morning, come
out from under there please.

Hey, baby, look here,
if your point is nine,

I've got two dollars
says you can't make it.

Hi, James.

Hey.

Honey, I lost a button.
Can you help me?

Sure. Be glad to.

[ARGUING]

$300 you cheater.

How can cheat at Monopoly?

I know I had a hotel
on Boardwalk

before I went
to the bathroom.

Well, you was
in there so long,

when you came back
the hotel was condemned.

[SHOUTING]

All right you two stop
that hassling now.

Yeah, can't you see
that Ma and Dad are praying.

I found your button, baby.

Oh, thanks, honey.
Look what I found--

a quarter.
Hey.

Hey that must be mine. Probably
fell out of my pajamas

last night when
I was sleeping.

What were you doing
with money in your pajamas?

I take out Diana Ross
a lot in my dreams,

and I don't want her
to think I'm a cheap skate.

You're a head case.

J.J., you ought to leave
your brain to science,

it's never been used.

You ought to leave
your face to science,

they'd come up with a new
bride of Frankenstein.

[SHOUTING]

All right, all right stop it.
Now get out of my way.

Florida, where's all the food
in this refrigerator?

Ain't nothing here but some cold
air and a lonesome light bulb.

Honey, with the price
of food today,

the only way that thing
is going look full,

is if we get
a smaller refrigerator.

Might as well unplug it then,

this ain't nothing
but a 500-pound icemaker.

James there's still plenty
to eat in there.

Yeah, but what happened
to that piece

of sweet potato pie
I was saving.

Now who would
do something like that?

Junior?

Don't look at me, Dad.
The same thing happened to me.

I wanted to make my favorite
sandwich today,

peanut butter and jelly,

but there was no peanut butter

and there wasn't no jelly.

So I was forced to make
a Ghetto Jam Sandwich.

Two pieces of white bread
jammed together.

Something funny
is going on around here.

I was saving a chicken
wing yesterday

and it was gone
before dinner.

Well, maybe what we've got in
the house is a phantom nibbler.

Unless the roaches learned how
to open the refrigerator.

It ain't no phantom, James.
It's Michael.

Michael?

Mm-hm.

Every day this week he's been
coming home and running

straight
to that refrigerator

and then he eats a full dinner
a half hour later.

Well, I'm glad
the boy's eating good,

but why such a big
appetite all of sudden?

He's a growing boy, James.

Yeah what's he growing,
Wilt Chamberlain?

Michael has been kind
of touchy lately.

Maybe he's not
feeling well.

He looks fine to me.

Well, the answer's obvious.

That's right,
he's been touchy,

he's been eating
twice as much, that's it.

What's it?

Michael's pregnant.

Do you ever get to feeling
like I do sometimes,

we might have brought the wrong
baby home from the hospital?

Hi, everybody.

Michael, I want to have
a talk with you, mister.

Sure, Daddy.

Are you feeling all right?

Yeah, great.

Michael did you eat
your lunch today?

Um, yeah, Mama I ate it.

You sure you ate everything?

Even that apple
I put in there.

Uh-huh.

That's strange. I haven't put
an apple in his lunch

for two weeks now.

Oh, um, excuse I gotta go
to the bathroom.

Freeze.

Michael, you haven't been eating
your lunch all week have you?

No, I've been giving
it away to a poor kid.

To a poor ki--?

Well, we'll just sign up
for a care package ourself.

Now Michael, it's nice of you
to care about someone else,

but skipping your own lunch
isn't healthy for you.

In this case it is, Mama.

Now wait a minute, Michael.

I want to hear
about all of this,

and I want
to hear it right now.

I can't tell you, Daddy.
I'll get a beating.

Oh, Michael,
now you know your daddy

wouldn't hit you
for telling the truth.

Daddy's not the one
I'm worried about.

Wait a minute son, have you
been giving your lunch away,

or somebody just
been taking it?

I demand to plead
the Fifth Amendment.

Some jive time junior flipping,
ripping Michael's lunch.

He's been taking
your milk money too, huh?

I'll kill him.

Michael why didn't
you tell us about this before?

Because Michael's smart,

the dude's probably some
eight-foot monster

make Mean Joe Green look like
Little Bo Peep.

No J.J., Eddie's
my size, but he's tough.

Wait a minute Michael,
you say Eddie's your size?

Yeah.

All right,
then Daddy's going

to tell you how
to deal with him.

Now tomorrow when Eddie comes
and try to take your lunch

from you say,
"Hey look here man,

"I can't give you my lunch

because I get hungry
later myself."

If he don't go for that
then you drive on his face.

[MAKES ENGINE REVVING NOISE]

James, what an awful thing
to teach your child.

You know violence
only begets violence.

Well, that's all right, baby,
because in this case Michael

gonna be giving and Eddie
going to be getting.

Daddy, I don't think I have
to fight if I use my head.

You know, Michael,
I think you're right.

There must be a lot of
ways to avoid that bully.

Sure, you could have someone
sneak your lunch into school

and hide your quarter
in your shoe.

Hide my quarter in my sh--

Thelma that's oldest trick
in the world.

Only a jive turkey would try
to pull a con like that.

Florida,
you're kidding yourself,

either you stand up
to a bloodsucker like this

or he bleeds you
for the rest of your life.

That's right, Michael.
You can handle this.

If you need any tips,
I'll help you.

You looking at the lightweight
champion of the ghetto.

You're only lightweight
from the neck up.

Sit down J.J., nobody's
teaching him how to fight.

But, Ma, I can help him,

because there ain't nobody
gonna pick a fight

with the brother
of Kid Dy-no-mite!

Look here, Michael,
it's all in the arms and legs.

You just got to start bouncing
and moving on the man.

Give him a right, right, right,
right, right, left, follow up,

right, right, upper-cut,
upper cut, get out of there,

come on move on, get in there,
move on, keep your body moving.

If all this don't work
use your legs.

To kick?

No, to run.

Thanks J.J.,
but I don't plan on fighting.

You're right, Michael.
It never does any good.

Now wait a minute, let me hip
both y'all to the facts of life.

Now there's some people out
there ain't nothing but animals

and they make
you fight them to survive.

If you don't fight them they
just keep picking at you

and picking at you until you
ain't got nothing left.

Now you can do one
of two things, son,

you can either talk to them
or you can run from them.

But it ain't going
to do no good,

so you got to handle
yourself like a man.

James, the boy
is only 12 years old.

Florida, that ain't all that
young in this neighborhood,

and you can't baby
this child forever.

See, Michael, sometimes
you've got to make your stand

right up front,
that's how you get by.

And that's why you going to make
your stand right up front

because you going to stand up
to this punk tomorrow.

Florida, you've been working on
the same sleeve

for the last 20 minutes now.

What you going to do this shirt,
iron it or fry it?

I'm worried, James.

Michael should have been home
a half hour ago.

I just know that bully
has beat him up and he's laying

down in the gutter
somewhere all alone.

He won't be alone, Ma.
Not around here.

Probably some wino
lying right next to him.

Shut up, Junior.

Cheer up, Mom. Michael
can take care of himself.

Yeah, baby, I mean, even if he
gets messed up a little bit,

he's still doing
what he had to do.

James, don't say that.

Hi, everybody.

Michael.

Hey.
Honey, are you all right?

Sure, Mama.

Oh, stop babifying him,
I'm sure he's all right.

That's my son.
Ain't got a mark on him.

I hate to see what
that Eddie looks like now.

You can see for yourself, Dad.

I invited him to stay
the weekend with us.

Come on in, Eddie.

Hey.

Hey, this don't look like a bad
set-up to kill a weekend.

You got anything around
here to eat, man?

Not for you, Jack.

You ain't gonna be here
long enough to gum a grape.

Who's that old dude?

Who's that--?
James, please!

This is my mother, my sister
Thelma and my brother J.J.

And that's the door,
use it.

Dad has a way of making people
feel right at home.

And this is my father.

Hey, is this guy going
to be here all weekend?

Sure he is.

You mean you got
a live-in father?

That's right, and as long
as I'm in, you out.

Man you didn't
tell me about him.

That's right, keep walking
while you still can, mister.

Wait a minute.
Daddy, I asked him to come.

And I'm telling him to go.
I don't need no hassle.

There won't be any, Eddie.

Nobody's going to hurt you,
believe me.

Now why don't you go
into our bedroom for a while.

James and I would like
to discuss this.

Michael, show
him the bedroom.

Okay. Come on, Eddie.

Florida, ain't no way
in the world that boy

going to stay in here
one more minute. He is going.

Maybe, James,
but after we discuss it.

Michael, what you mean bringing
that hoodlum in here?

Why didn't you punch his lights
out like I told you to?

Daddy, I think
I have a better idea.

Yeah, let me fight him.
I'll rearrange his face.

Oh, no, J.J., he might end up
looking like you.

Will you two stop that
and let Michael finish?

Well, I got
to thinking about Eddie.

He gets the lowest
grades in the whole class,

the teacher makes fun of him
and all the kids laugh at him.

Now that ought make
anybody to feel bad,

so I told him I could
help him pass his final test

if he could stay
the weekend with us.

Oh, Michael,
that's a wonderful idea.

Oh, Michael,
that's a lousy idea.

Why, Daddy?
Eddie's not a dumb kid,

if he'd just
take the time to study,

he could pass
the sixth grade.

Yeah, but, son,
I don't understand,

why do you want
to help somebody

that's ripping
off your lunches?

Dad, the answer's obvious,

if Eddie goes
into the seventh grade,

he'd be ripping off
somebody else's lunch.

No, J.J.,
that's not it.

Daddy, I figure,

how can you steal from somebody
who helps you?

Oh, Michael,
I am proud of you.

James, he handled
that like a man.

And he didn't have
to use violence either.

Oh, Lord, I can
appreciate all that,

but that boy didn't come here to
study. That child is an animal.

That's right and I don't want
him in the house.

Let his probation officer
take him for the weekend.

He's just a little boy.
We can keep an eye on him.

I'd like to put
my hands on him.

Daddy, what harm can he do?

Thelma, I have seen kids
like Eddie before

and they ain't
no good.

James I have seen
kids like Eddie too.

Now for some reason
they fall behind in school

and things keep going
from bad to worse

and before you know it they
just give up on themselves.

Baby, what you want me
to do about it?

Give him a chance, Daddy.

If we don't who will?

Now, if things keep going
the way they are for him,

before he's 18 he's going
to end up in jail

or dead on the street
somewhere.

Come on, Dad,
it's just for a weekend.

Yeah, Dad, don't worry about it.
We can handle him.

Well, I don't like it.

James, if Michael
is willing to help a kid

who has been
bullying him,

the least we can do
is let him try.

All right, Florida,
all right.

Now he can stay
for the weekend,

but I'm telling you if
the boy causes any trouble

in this house, out!

I agree.

Probably in the bedroom
right now

ripping off
everything we own.

Oh, James.

Don't worry abut it, Dad,

if anything's missing
I'll spot it in a second.

In ghetto detective circles

I'm known as the nappy Kojak.

Hey, I can't take it
anymore in there.

Can't take what?

Man, what you looking at?

Oh, I get it. Okay, fellows
you got me. Go ahead.

Frisk me, search me, come on!

Just jiving, Eddie,
just jiving.

Should I, Dad?

Eddie, you're welcome
to stay the weekend with us.

No more hassles from that
undercover toothpick?

Who you calling
toothpick, shorty?

You, you broomstick
with teeth.

Now that's it, man.
Get him, Dad.

Shut up, Junior.

Eddie, did you ask your mother
if it's all right

for you to stay
over the weekend?

No, she don't care.

I stay out for days
sometimes if I want.

So does she.

Hey, Eddie, you can share
the couch with J.J. and I.

What?

That's if you don't mind
sleeping three in a bed.

Wow, in my house
that's a room to my own.

We sleep six to a bed.

Hey, when do we eat?

Pretty soon. I hope you like
what we're having for dinner.

Ain't no reason he shouldn't,
he loves what we have for lunch.

Eddie is here
to study now.

Right, Eddie?

Huh? Oh, yeah I'm thinking
of letting Michael

show me some of them
straight-A student tricks, yeah.

You got a real
sharp crib here.

Boy, get your feet
off that table.

Hey, Eddie, do you want
to do some studying

before dinner man?

No, I think
I'll just relax.

Come on, everybody.
Dinner's ready.

Hey, all right.

No, no, no Eddie you
sit over there.

Eddie, in this house we pray
before we eat.

Go on.

Time for prayer, Edward.

Since you're the guest, Eddie,
why don't you say the prayer?

Me, I don't know none.
Besides, it's dumb.

We don't think so.
It makes us feel good.

Besides, it's the only time
of day that the whole family

shares the same thought.

Okay, Michael, would you like
to say the blessing?

We thank the Lord for the food
we're about to receive

and for
all our blessings.

Bless those both
near and far.

We thank thee for our home
and for all the people

who are
at the table tonight.

Amen.
Amen.

Well, baby, you make
the best chocolate cake

in the whole world.

Yeah, Mom, you should enter a
Pillsbury bakeoff

and put it under the
"Mm, mm, mm, good" category.

Thank you.
Did everybody have enough?

Oh, yeah.
Yeah.

It was good.
I'm about to bust.

I think even Eddie got enough,

compared to the way he ate
the rest of his dinner.

He's just picking
at the cake.

Do you have
any more?

I'm sorry, Eddie,
that's it.

How about
another biscuit?

Oh, sure,
help yourself.

Eddie, honey,
you don't have to do that.

You can have as many
as you want.

I'll leave them on the table
if you want me to.

Come on, nobody's going
to take it away from you.

Mama, may Eddie and I be excused
from the table please?

Sure, honey.

Come on, Eddie. It's time
to hit the books, man.

Okay, man.

Show me those straight-A student
tricks to pass tests.

There are no tricks, man.
You have to study.

You mean really study, Evans?

Sure.

Man, you're weird.

Come on man, let's start
on page 73, chapter six.

Now...

Why don't you go on
without me,

studying is
for suckers anyway.

Hey, where you
think you're going?

Hey, man, Mike's studying,
and I don't want to bother him.

Well, you get back
in there and finish, man.

You see, in this house people
study when they're supposed to.

Good thing I'm not
a member of this house.

Well, you are
this weekend.

What's that supposed
to mean?

Well, you heard
of the extended family?

Well, this weekend you part
of one which gives me

a right to extend this belt to
your behind if I feel like it.

Ho, ho, I'd like
to see that.

Oh, you would, huh?

Well, anything to oblige
a guest mister.

Man, you've got
to be kidding, man.

Come on in here.
You must be crazy.

I'm a man believe this!
I'll make a believer out of you!

James.
Huh?

You know the boy got it coming,
now get your behind in here.

I hope your father
doesn't go overboard.

Mama, you think Daddy really
going to give Eddie a spanking?

Is a bean green?

Can James Brown get down?

Is your head dead?

[EDDIE SCREAMING]

[STRAP HITTING]

That sounded like a 6.5
on the Richter Scale.

Well, you know how
your father

is about studying,
he means business.

The question is, which
beating did he get?

Well, as we all know,
Dad has three in his repertoire.

The regular, the super,
and the Big Mac.

The Big Mac is right.
It can really warm your bun.

Did that make
you feel good?

Didn't make me feel bad.

Nobody ever
spanked me before.

Well, that's because
we just met.

Somebody should've
a long time ago.

I got news for you,
I held back on you, mister.

If that's holding back, I hate
to be around when you let go.

My own kids would have
a gotten a lot worse.

They would?

You know it.

Well, one thing
we know for sure,

he didn't get
the Big Mac.

He's still walking.

Hey, Eddie, my father
really laid it on you, huh?

Yeah, he laid it on.

I thought stuff like this
only happened in the movies.

Are you kidding, man?

One time I didn't
do my homework,

and my father
did some homework on me.

I don't get him.

Ooh!

Looks like he got
the Big Mac after all.

What you want, man,
another piece of me?

Don't worry, I'm splitting.

You ain't got to go Eddie.
You can stay if you want to.

Eddie, there's something
you've go to understand.

Now, we discipline our kids
because we love them.

If we didn't love them,
we wouldn't take the time.

He don't love me.

How do you know?

Come on.

Loving is caring,
Eddie.

You don't have to be
a member of this family

for us to care
about you.

That's right. My father
could have thrown you out

a long time ago.

Sure could've.

How come you didn't?

You could save me
from running out.

Well, Eddie, it might be
because I do care a little.

You what?

I said it might
because I do care a little.

I didn't know somebody
could beat on you

and care
at the same time.

Michael, what page did you say
we was on again?

Seventy-three,
chapter six, man.
