Hey, now,
look here, man,

I know tuxedos
are tough to rent

around New Year's Eve time,

but ain't you got
a little something

a little cheaper
than that?

How about a little lower
than that?

A little lower than that.

J.J., will you stop tying up
the phone?

Okay, Ma.

Uh, look, here, man.

Suppose I left out
the cummerbund?

How about the shoes?

I could always paint
my sneakers black.

The cuff links?

The shirt stud?

The shirt?

You'll be down to your underwear
pretty soon.

Now, will you get off the phone?

You know I'm expecting a call
from your father.

Sure, Ma.

Hey... look here, man.
I have to get back to you.

Yeah, okay.

I got to consult
my business manager. Bye.

Uh...

[CLEARS THROAT]

Business manager,
could I borrow $5?

Now, you know we're short
on money.

Else why would your father
have to take

an extra job out of town?

Ma, this last year's dress
is perfect,

but you have to take in
the waist just a little,

because I've lost
a few pounds.

Whoo!

Well, I may have found them.

Whoo!

Well, Thelma, I'm glad to hear
that you lost some weight.

Now you only have
one unsightly bulge--

your face.

Look who's talking,

the big shot who thinks
he can rent a tuxedo.

Well, I got news for you.

They don't have a size 10 chest
and 42 sleeve.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

You got some nerve,
you old--

All right, you two,
that's enough.

Ma.

[CHUCKLES]

Hello?

James.

Daddy!

How are you, honey?

Oh, good.

Yeah, everything here
is fine.

Honey, when do you think
you'll be through

with your job?

Your daddy is gonna be home
for New Year's Eve.

[ALL CHEER]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, all the kids are going out
for New Year's Eve.

Nah, I don't wanna go anywhere.

Just staying home with you
is celebration enough.

Have mercy.

We can't wait to see you.
We miss you so.

Now, look, I know
this phone call

is costing money,
so I'm gonna say goodbye.

Okay, bye-bye, sweetheart.

Bye, Dad.
Bye, Daddy.

Your daddy's taking a bus
Wednesday morning,

and he gonna be here by 3:00!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Yeah!

All right.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Couldn't have gotten here
that fast.

They got a 55-mile-an-hour
speed limit here.

Florida.

Do I know you?

No, but I know you.
May I come in?

Well, um--

Yeah.

Well, well, well.

You're Thelma.

That's right.

And I don't have to ask
who this is.

How are you, J.J.?

Wow, you know us all.

Well, look here.

If you from
the Internal Revenue,

the reason we ain't paid
no income tax

is because we don't have
any income.

I ain't from
the Internal Revenue.

This is just like I pictured it.
This is nice.

Real nice.

Yeah, homey and cheerful.
This is the perfect place.

The perfect place
for what?

The perfect place for me to die.

Hey, uh, look here, man.

I think you got
the wrong address.

Fenway's Mortuary
is five blocks down the street,

and they usually don't deal
in the deceased

until after they stop moving.

What are you
talking about, Mr.--

Johnson. Hubert Johnson.

Well, I think you'd better
explain, Mr. Johnson.

It's like I said,
I came here to die.

It could be a couple of days,
maybe a day,

maybe an hour from now,

maybe even the next
five minutes.

Well, that's nice.

While you're waiting,

would you care for a cup
of coffee?

I don't think we have time
to boil the water, Ma.

J.J.

It would be nice to have
a cup of coffee.

All right.

Uh... can I ask you
one question?

Of course.

If you really think
you're gonna die,

why did you pick our apartment?

Because I like
this family.

[SIGHS]

But how do you
know us?

Hi, Ma.

FLORIDA:
Hello, sweetheart.

Hey, Mr. Johnson.

Michael.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I was looking for you,
and I got worried.

Michael... you two
know each other?

Yeah, Ma.

You have a real nice
boy here, Florida.

You know,

on his way home
from school,

if I'm sitting out
in front of the rest home,

he always stops to talk to me.
FLORIDA: Oh.

He's the only friend
I got.

You know,
not too many people

stop to talk
to old folks.

Mama, don't listen to him.

He's not old,

and besides,
we're really running buddies,

except we don't do too much
running together.

[FLORIDA LAUGHS]

Don't you have any friends
at the rest home?

No.

In fact, I don't even bother
to introduce myself.

No sense saying "how-do"
to someone that's done.

That's why Michael here
is my main man.

He keeps me up on things.

Come on, Michael, show them

what you taught me
the other day.

All right, but remember,

we start
on the right foot, ready.

And go.
One, two, three, four.

Side, two, three, four,
up--

and back.

FLORIDA: Oh,
that's nice, Michael.

Hey!

[FLORIDA LAUGHS]

One, two,
three, four.

Hey.

Oh, that's the hustle.

[CHUCKLING]

I know.

That's why I can't understand
all this talk about you dying.

What do you mean?

You're not gonna die,
Mr. Johnson.

Michael, my time
has come.

My heart can't
pump any longer.

It's got more leaky valves
than a '61 Buick.

And my blood,
it don't circulate anymore.

It just shuffles.

We're sorry to hear
that, Mr. Johnson.

Now, don't you feel
sorry for me.

I've lived my life, had my fun,
and sowed my wild oats.

Now I'm just waiting
for that top dude

to make his house call.

You mean, he's coming here?

Hey, look here,
I hope he knows

which one of us
he's coming here to get.

J.J.!

Don't, worry, son.

I'm the one that's
got the reservation.

You know,
I'm still confused.

Of course, I don't
really think

you're gonna pass on,

but if you think
you are, tell us,

why here?

Because there's somebody here
that I love.

The rest home
ain't no place to die.

No dignity.
You're just a body.

You know, when somebody
dies there,

they make the rest of us
go in our room

and close the doors,

and then they sneak out
the deceased.

Don't even give you
a chance to wave goodbye.

Oh, that's terrible,
Mr. Johnson.

So I said to myself, "Hubert,

"one place you ain't gonna
die is that rest home.

"No, sir, you're gonna die
like a man's supposed to,

with a family
around him."

Don't you have a family
of your own?

Oh, sure, I got a son
in California,

and a daughter
in Savannah.

But Mama, he hasn't seen them
in over 15 years.

They love me, like children love
old folks these days...

far away.

Well, I know when my time comes,
I'd want my family around.

Don't worry, Ma, we'll be there.

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Uh, what I mean
is that, uh, well--

Uh, we're getting close
to New Year's,

but you're
still the April fool.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Yeah, that's right.
That's right.

Still got on
your Halloween mask!

Uh, yes?

Is there a Mr. Johnson here?

That's me.

Rental service.

Sign here, please.

Thank you.

Uh, what's this?

Oh, didn't wanna worry you none,
use none of your beds,

so I rented one of my own.

Oh, now, wait a minute!

Hey, Flo... I just saw them
delivering a bed.

What's going on?

Hi, Willona.

You know me?

Michael told me all about you.

He told me that you were
a beautiful woman,

and you are a beautiful woman.

Oh, Michael has a way
of exaggerating,

and bless his heart.

I'm Hubert Johnson.

Willona Woods.
You here for a visit?

Yeah,
WILLONA: Oh!

but according to him,
he ain't gonna stay too long.

J.J.

What's happening, Flo?

Mr. Johnson here
has some crazy idea

about coming here
to die.

You're jiving,
ain't you?

No, I'm not,

and I only wanna stay here
till I go.

Mr. Johnson, this is just
too big a responsibility

for us to take on.

Florida, I'll make a deal
with you.

It's only a couple of days
to New Year's.

If I'm not gone by then,
I'll go back to the rest home.

We gonna have to talk
about this.

You mind going
into the other room

while we discuss it?

J.J., show him.

Not at all.

I sure hope and trust
you vote my way.

Oh, Ma, you can't turn him down.

This means
so much to him.

I know that, honey,
but think about it.

What is your father gonna say
when he gets back?

Oh, Mama, Mr. Johnson's
not gonna die, and besides,

we'll just be making him happy
for a couple of days.

Yeah, we all can help
take care of him.

I'll pitch in
with the cooking.

There goes his chance
of being happy.

Listen, you all are missing
the point altogether.

Now, this man is convinced
he's gonna die,

and he might.

Well, it's just too big
a burden for me

to have on my shoulders.

Oh, but Mama,
it would be terrible

to send him back
to that rest home.

Oh, Michael.
No, Mama, listen.

One time I went
inside to visit him.

Mama, it was sad,

all those old people
just laying in their beds

looking at nothing.

Ma, I know he'll be
a lot happier here.

Thelma, for once,
I have to agree with you.

Flo.

Well--

[SIGHS]

Mama, please.

Oh, Michael, Michael.

Oh, all right.

He can stay.

Thanks, Ma.
[ALL CHEERING]

Now you're talking.

Hey.

Hey, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Johnson,
you can come out now.

Michael, how'd
the vote go?

I'll let Mama tell you.

Mama.

Mr. Johnson, you're welcome
into our home.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

I really appreciate that.

Michael.
Yeah?

One more time!

And move it!
All right.

Start with your right foot,
all right? Ready, go.

Do the hustle!
One, two, three, four.

[ALL HUM VAN McCOY'S
"THE HUSTLE"]

Oh, that's--

Ah... Another beautiful day...

but I guess I make it
more beautiful

because I am the sunshine
of my life.

Hey, Michael, when you getting
out of that bathroom?

Hey, Hubert. Happy day
before New Year's.

Hubert?

Hubert!

Ma!

What's the matter?

Ma, he did it!
He did it.

He did what?

Look! Look!

Oh, my God.

Ma, is he--

He said he was gonna die,
and I didn't believe him.

J.J., keep Michael
in the bathroom.

He must've known
it was gonna happen.

He's got on his good suit.
He's all dressed up.

[GASPS]
Run, he's a zombie!

Hubert.

Well, I just wanted your opinion

on how I looked
buried in this old suit.

Well, that one is just fine.

Now, stop all this foolishness.
You are not going to die.

Come on.

Let's all have
some breakfast.

Michael, help me set
the table, sweetheart.

Okay, Ma.

THELMA: I'll make
the oatmeal, Ma.

Uh-oh, Thelma's gonna
make the oatmeal.

How you want it, Hubert?
One lump or two?

I'll give you a lump
upside that big head.

You got some nerve,
you old manicotti-head.

I don't wanna hear it--
Stop it.

I said, cut it out.

Florida,
let them be.

That yelling
is like music to my ears.

It is?

Sounds of a family.
It's been a long time.

I can't tell you
how I've enjoyed

these last couple of days
with you.

I'm glad, Hubert.

We've enjoyed having
you over, Mr. Johnson.

Yeah, I loved it.

Except for one thing.

What's that?

I ain't died yet.

Hi, y'all.
Hey, Willona.

How you doing?
Whoo-oo!

Hubert, I see you getting
all ready for the New Year.

That's not what I'm getting
ready for.

Oh... well, I am.

Roy Webster's taking me
to the big bash

at the Drake Hotel tonight,
honey,

and I want to look
extra special.

You know, I figure what
Roy's paying for the minimum,

he might as well see
Willona's... whoo, maximum.

Willona.
Huh?

There's something I been
meaning to ask you.

What?

How come a beautiful woman
like you ain't married?

Hubert Johnson,
is that a proposal?

Come on, baby,
light my fire.

Are you sure you got
anything left to... burn?

An old log
lights up faster

than a green one.

Whoop! Too fast for you.
Come on, sit down.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]
Sit.

Willona...

There's some fresh coffee
on the stove.

Okay.

Hello.

James!

I thought you'd be
on your way by now.

What?

Oh, no.

Well, what time you think
you'll be coming in?

Well, I'll wait up for you
no matter what time it is.

Yeah, I'm upset too, honey.

You take care, now.

Bye-bye, sweetheart.

What's the matter, Ma?

Your daddy ain't gonna
make it in for New Year's Eve.

[ALL GROAN]

There was a big snowstorm,
and all the roads are blocked.

Hmm.

You know, this is the first
New Year's

since we've been married
that we didn't spend together.

Well, Ma, we're sure not gonna
let you spend it alone.

That's right!
Yeah, that's right.

We'll have a party
right here.

Oh, no, no, no. All of you
have someplace to go.

Yeah, but we could
change that.

Larry's working
late tonight

and wasn't gonna pick me up
until after midnight anyway,

so we'll just stay here,
that's all.

Oh, Thelma.
Yeah, instead of taking

my date to the Y to dance,
I can take her here.

J.J., sometimes
you can be thoughtful.

Mm-hmm.

Well, it's $3.50 a head
at the Y.

It's free here.

Just jiving, Ma,
just jiving.

I don't want you
to be alone either.

Okay, love.

Neither do I, Flo.

I'll tell Roy to cancel
the reservations at the Drake,

and we'll do our celebrating
right here.

Listen, the money he was gonna
spend for the minimum,

he can spring for a case
of champagne.

A whole case?

Oh, yeah, honey, because when
the old year goes out,

Willona might just go
out with it.

And Mama,

I'll skip Debbie's party.

She always wants me to kiss her,
and when I do,

my bubblegum gets stuck
in her braces.

This is so sweet
of all of you,

but you really, really
don't have to do it.

No, Mama, we'll keep the party
going till Daddy gets here.

[ALL TALKING AT ONCE]

All right. Thank you very much.

Hubert...

Hubert?

Care to join us for the party?

Yeah, come on, Mr. Johnson.

Well, let's see what happens
around 9:00.

And if I'm still alive,
we might as well... jive.

Honey, you will be alive,
all right.

[ALL TALKING AT ONCE]

["THE HUSTLE" PLAYING]

Oh, Thelma, move,

you're gonna
make me mess up.

Get outta the way!

Whoo!
[J.J. LAUGHS]

Oh, Michael,
I almost had it.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Hey, it's almost 12:00.
Should I turn on the TV?

We got a few minutes, honey.
Okay.

How come you're
not dancing?

You were having
a good time before.

You know, I'm just sitting here
thinking.

It looks like I'm going back
to the rest home.

Here, Ma.

We'll talk about that
in the morning.

Right now, just enjoy the party.

I can't understand it.

By now, a preacher
should be doing my eulogy.

Oh, now, Hubert.

Of course,
I don't know what he'd say.

I was born a poor man,
then a working man,

then a married man,
then a family man,

and now I'm an old man.

It isn't very exciting,
is it?

Hubert, it might be
more exciting than you know.

I got a eulogy that will
bake your potatoes.

You have?
Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna give you
a free example right now.

Oh.
Come around here,

brothers and sisters,
come on.

Huh? What's happening?
Gather 'round.

What you talking
about, Willona?

Gather 'round.
Oh.

Brothers and sisters,
we are gathered here tonight

to say goodbye
to Hubert Johnson.

Amen!

[HUMMING GOSPEL MUSIC]

[IN PREACHER TONE]
Oh, who was this man?

Who?

Hey, was he rich
and famous?

Did he discover
a cure for disease?

ALL: No.

Did this man
walk on the moon?

ALL: No.

Well, then,
who was this man?

Who was he?

I say, who was this man?

[ALL CHEERING]

Hey!
He was an ordinary man.

[ALL SHOUTING IN RESPONSE]

I said he was
an ordinary man.

[ALL CHEER]

Now, some of you out there
might say,

"Why she hooting
and a-hollerin'

about some ordinary man?"

Because there ain't nothing
more special

on God's green earth
than an ordinary man.

Because all he doing
is the best he can.

That's right!

Hey, hey, Hubert Johnson
was a good man,

a spiritual man.

He worked like a dog

to take care of his family
and kids.

But most of all,
I said, most of all,

he lived!

He lived every minute
of his life.

Whoo!

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir!

When other folks
was out there

chasing after pie
in the sky

with ice cream on top,

Hubert knew...

Hubert knew it was
all just jive.

Jive à la mode.

Jive à la mode.

Here lies a man...
of goodness and purity

that lived his last 10 years
on social security.

Hey, hey!

Don't cry.
No, no.

Don't shed no tears...
No, no, no.

because Hubert's home
up there.

Home in paradise.

He done found out,
they serve red beans and rice.
