Eleanor, these utility bills
are going through the roof

and look, we gotta
change our habits.

Take pop, for instance, he's
always taking long hot showers.

Oh, roc, how long
could he be taking?

Twelve minutes and 34 seconds.

I timed him, Eleanor. He
should take showers like me.

Water on, water off.

Lather up, water
on, water off, bam!

I'm out of there
in three minutes.

- Hey, dad.
- Hey, pop!

Daddy... hey, what's wrong?

I just came from the dmv.

They wouldn't renew
my driver's license

'cause I failed the eye test.

They said I need glasses.

- Oh, pop.
- Oh, daddy, I'm sorry.

All my life I've
had perfect vision.

Trying to make me
feel like an old man.

That snot-nosed kid
that took my license away

wasn't even alive when
I told thurgood Marshall

I thought brown had a good case
against the board of education.

Well, daddy, don't
let it get you down.

We'll get you some
glasses and everything

it's gon' be fine.

Yeah, I guess
that's the thing to do.

Yeah, pop, it is,
you know, just relax

and, you know, get
this off your mind.

- Yeah.
- Oh, that's a good idea.

I think I'll go upstairs and
take a nice, long hot shower.

Hey, hey, pop.

Hmm?

You know, pop, I
read somewhere..

Long hot showers
can impair your vision.

sweetheart, look,
we need to talk.

N-N-Not now, I'm getting
ready to watch the football game.

Oh, roc, it'll be half-time
before the TV warms up enough

to even see a pitcher.
Now, this is important.

We need to decide on
a guardian for the baby

in case something
happens to you or me.

Yeah, yeah, we should talk
about that, that's important.

- Uh-hmm.
- I don't believe this.

Daddy, what's
wrong with you now?

I went to get my glasses

and the doctor said
my vision problems

were caused by
high blood pressure.

And then he said, "you
should get a physical, old timer."

Little doofus wasn't even
alive when I marched in Chicago

with Bobby seal.

Pop, you never marched...

Oh, don't interrupt your father.

So I got the physical, and
they said I also have gout

and some hearing loss, oh,
which is common among the elderly.

Oh, daddy..

Well, maybe I
should just accept it.

I am getting on in years.

You know I'm the
only one of my friends

who doesn't have
any artificial parts.

Well, come on, pop, don't let
what the doctor say get to you.

You know, you are strong and as
sharp as you were 20 years ago.

That's right, you the youngest

most spirited person I know.

You still a great
mack daddy, pop.

- Oh, you really think so?
- Absolutely.

Well, I'm glad I got my family
around me to keep my spirits up.

Well, anyhow, don't let me
interrupt you, it sounded like

you were talking about
something pretty important.

Yeah, we were, we're trying
to decide on the guardian

for the baby just in case
something happens to roc or me.

Oh, that's easy, I'm
the boy's grandfather.

I should be his guardian.

- Well, why shouldn't I be?
- Well, you know, um..

You know, uh, pop,
you know it's, uh..

Well, e-Eleanor,
you explain it to him.

Well, daddy, uh, all
roc is trying to say

it's just that,
it's just that, it's..

Oh, why don't you just say it?

You want someone younger.

See, pop, I told you,
your mind is sharp as ever.

Sure, for an elderly gentleman.

Now if you'll excuse me,
I'm going to stare down

the grimm reaper and
have me a cheeseburger.

Hey, pop, how's
my old man doin'?

Watch your mouth.

- What'd I say?
- How you doin', Joey?

Alright, uh, yeah, listen, uh

my phone Jack in my
apartment is broken

and being the landlord you
should know that every apartment

has to have at least one
working phone Jack, it's the law.

Don't worry about
the Jack, I'll fix it.

- Alright, thanks, Jack.
- Alright, Jack.

Alright.

You know it's kind of
fun being your tenant

i'MMA go back to my apartment
and find some more broken stuff

that the law
requires you to fix.

[Roc chuckles]

- Roc, baby?
- 'Uh?'

I hate to say it, but
there is one person

who stands out as
the obvious choice

to be the baby's guardian.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, Eleanor, no,
no, no, not him, no.

Roc, he's young, he's family..

He's unemployed,
he's irresponsible

he's selfish, he's a deadbeat.

A-A-And believe me, Eleanor

my list is a lot
longer than yours.

[Knock on door]

- Is that you, roc?
- 'Yeah, open up, Joey.'

alright. Alright.

Yeah, i'MMA open..

[Scatting]

Hey, come on, hey, hey,
hey, you wipe your feet?

No, I forgot, lie down.

Come on in.

Man, hurry up and
fix this phone Jack

how you expect my women
friends to get in touch with me?

Joey, why does it always
have to be women?

Why can't you settle
down with one woman?

- When are you gonna grow up?
- Roc!

When I get ready to
settle down I'll settle down.

You know see, Joey,
you know, something, you..

Shut up, you're
never gonna change.

No one will ever be able
to count on you for anything.

What is.. Wait, wait a minute,
something else is on your mind

why don't you just
go ahead and say it?

I'll tell you what's
on my mind, Joey.

Eleanor and I have to
pick a guardian for the baby

in case something happens to us

and you would be the
obvious choice, you know?

But you're too unreliable,
so we picked the list of people

we trust to do the job
and you're not on it.

Wait a minute, hold it, hold
it, you're not even gonna

consider me for this,
roc, this is my nephew

wee talking about, I love
him, now if something

were to happen
to you and Eleanor

I could step in,
I'd be responsible.

I could take care
of little shaka.

We named him Marcus.

Really? W-Where was I?

You were probably at the track.

Listen, let me, let me,

let me prove to you
that I can do this, alright?

Why don't you let me
keep the baby for a night?

- What?
- Yeah, yeah.

Now listen, you and Eleanor

haven't been out
in months, right?

Why don't you get together,
go out have a nice time.

- And let me babysit?
- Joey, you out of your...

No, wait a minute, wait, roc,
come on, come on, come on

this is important
to me, alright?

I-I wanna prove to
you that I can do this.

[Sighs] Well, we'll see, you
know, I have to talk to Eleanor first.

Alright, good, good, good,
then see if-if that happens

then I can start taking
Marcus for strolls in the park.

Oh, yeah? You
really want to do that?

Oh, you know it, guy
like me, good-lookin' guy

son of the great Mac daddy
pushin' the baby stroller

in the park, women
would be on me like flies

uh, like bees to honey.

Oh, Eleanor, this is nice.

[Chuckles] Joey's
not here, right?

Sheila's away
visiting her aunt in la

you know what I mean?
The baby's asleep.

Now we can have a
nice relaxing dinner

just you, me and pop,
just like in the old days.

- Yeah.
- Mm!

You know I think I'll get me

one of these African
walking canes.

The kind with all
those carvings in there.

As long as I'm entering
into my twilight years

I want to hobble
around in style.

Oh, come on, pop, you're
not gonna be hobbling.

Oh, not yet, but pretty soon.

Yeah.

I'm just an old
man buying a cane.

That's what it all comes
down to in the end.

Could be my last purchase.

I should get it on credit.

Daddy, now look, you got some
medical things to take care of

but basically you're
in good health

now please, don't go overboard.

Yeah. Maybe
you're right, Eleanor.

She is right, pop, come
on, just sit down and relax

let's have a nice dinner like
we used to in the old days.

The old days..

Yeah, yesterday when I was young

taste of life was sweet.

Now the days grow short.

Daddy... will you
please cut it out?

Well, I'm just facing facts.

Every day I'm gettin' older..

And I'm already a burden to you

and pretty soon I'll
be a bigger burden.

Oh, pop, no one ever
said you were a burden.

Oh, no?

Then why are you
timing my showers?

Now my eyes may be
going but I can still make out

a large hulking figure
standing outside the bathroom

with a stopwatch.

I just did that 'cause...

And I know you don't like me

turning up the
thermostat at night.

Now you think you
fooled me when you put up

that out-of-order sign.

Alright, alright, if you want
to bring it up, yeah, sure

I think you could cut
back on some things, pop

you know what I mean? I
mean, we have a baby now.

You know, we need to save money.

Well, I've been thinking too.

There is a way I could save
you a whole lot of money.

I could move into the
senior citizen's home.

Oh, daddy, that's ridiculous.

Well, you'd save
a bundle of money

you wouldn't have to feed
me and you won't have to

pay my hot water bills.

Well, who cares about that?

We just wanna have you around.

Right, roc?

Right, roc?

- What'd you say?
- Oh, admit it.

Isn't there a part of
you that would just

love to save all that money?

[Gibberish] No, I mean, uh..

That's it. I'm moving to
the senior citizen's home.

Pop, don't go, I-I don't
want you to go, you know.

It's just that, you know,
when you, you know

when you start
talking about money

I-I get confused.

Well, I'll clear
things up for you.

- I'm out of here.
- Daddy, no!

Oh, pop, you know
something, pop?

I don't r-really believe
you're going to do it.

Oh, I'm calling the
senior citizen's home now.

Well then, okay, pop,
I'm calling your bluff.

If you want to go to a home,
then you go right ahead.

Well, I'll show
you who's bluffin'.

Daddy Emerson, now
you stop this right now.

Eleanor, he's not calling
the senior citizen's home.

Right now, he's listening
to a recording that says

"at the tone,
the time will be.."

Hello.

Uh, can I have the
admissions office, please?

The admissions office?
You can tell he rehearsed this.

Mr. Williams. Yeah,
Andrew Emerson.

Uh, we talked earlier about
me maybe movin' in there.

Well, I'm doin' it.

Oh, great.

Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.

If you don't mind, I'd
like a ride over there.

I'll pay for the gas.

[Indistinct chatter]

Well, here you are, pop.

- Do you like it?
- Well, yes, I do.

No, you don't, pop. Come
on. Look, you had your fun.

- Come on, let's go home.
- Roc, you better be goin' now.

You'll be late for work.

Alright, pop.

When you get tired of playin'
this game give me a call.

No, I won't, just do me a favor

from the money you
save on my showers

buy Marcus a lollipop for me.

Tell him it's from
his old granddad

the one in the old folks home.

Alright, pop.

Hi, I'm Andrew,
I just came in...

The last person who talked
Durin' "murder she wrote"

almost lost an eye.

Excuse me.

- 'Say what?'
- Don't loud talk me.

I said Reggie Jackson
was the greatest

ballplayer who ever lived.

Okay, yeah, Reggie was somethin'

but the greatest
ballplayer I think

that ever lived was
to say, "hey, kid."

Willie mays.

No, you're both wrong.

The greatest ballplayer ever
was Mr. Hank 'the hammer' Aaron.

They, they even named
a candy bar after him.

The oh Henry! Bar. I've
never heard of a oh Willie! Bar.

Watch your mouth, now
don't be talkin' about...

Oh, you two are just a bunch of

loudmouth opinionated hardheads

but I think i'ma like it here.

[Laughter]

Well, it takes one to know one.

- Okay.
- Sit down, will you, please?

- I'm Ollie.
- Andrew.

- That's my friend Matthew.
- Matthew.

Man, lok at that, what's your,
what's your claim to fame?

- I kissed Lena horne.
- Oh, I kissed Lena horne.

- No, I kissed Lena horne.
- Whoa!

- But she kissed me back.
- Look out!

- Oh!
- Wait a minute, let's play..

♪ Rock-a-bye baby
in the tree top ♪

♪ when the wind blows
the cradle will rock ♪

♪ when the bough
breaks the cradle will fall ♪

♪ and down will
come baby cradle.. ♪♪

Babies fallin' out of
trees, that's a sick song.

Come on, we gotta find somethin'
else for you to listen to, huh?

How about a story, okay?
Check this one out, alright.

Little red riding hood walking
through the woods, right

and a wolf.. No, you don't
need to hear that either.

Humpty dumpty
sat on a wall, humpt..

Man, they say TV is violent.

Oh, oh, that's the door.

I got to get the door.
You wanna get the door?

"No, uncle Joey, I
can't walk." Okay. Yeah.

I'll be right back. Right back.

Hey, Jill, baby,
what you doin' here?

Well, Joey, I'm on my way to a
party over Tommy Sanders house

his band will be there

and the guys from Kenny
brown's band will be there.

Baby, people are going
to be jamming all night.

Oh, man, I can
get with that too.

I could take my
trumpet over there

and blow them punks
back to music school.

Yes, you could.

I can't, I'm busy.

[Baby crying]

Whoo! Ha-ha! Yes,
you did get busy.

No, no. No, that's,
that's not mine, baby.

T-That's my nephew,
I'm watching him

for my brother
and sister in law.

Well, what's the problem?

Bring him along,
he'll be alright.

- Won't you, cutie?
- You know what.

That's a good idea. Tha-that's
a great idea wait a minute, baby.

I'll be right back.
I'll get my coat.

I'll get my trumpet, pick
up some diapers and we..

[Sighs]

No, I can't, uh, take that
baby out of the house.

It wouldn't be responsible.

Well, does brother
and sister in law

really have to know, I
mean, we're only going

down the block and
you could be back home

before they even get here.

Yeah, yeah, but I would know.

I'm sorry, baby.

I got to pass.

Alright, but you are
gonna miss one great party.

- Yeah.
- And I'm gonna miss you.

Goodnight, Joey.

[Baby crying]

You took the words
right out of my mouth.

So, so, look, Eleanor was
pushin' and pushin', right.

Look, but little Marcus
didn't wanna come out, right.

So, the doctor, the doctor,
he didn't know what to do

so I stepped in, I said

"son, this is your father.

Get out of there."

"Don't make me
come in and get you."

He said, "okay, pop."

Jumped right out into my hands.

[Indistinct chatter]

I'm not kiddin'
but I gotta tell you

when the head was born,
it was big, just like roc.

Oh! And I thought
that was gonna kill me.

But, honey, after
the head was born

everything else was
easy, I was home free.

You know what
I'm sayin', girlfriend.

And speakin' of
babies, let me go check

on this big one over there.

- Hey, baby.
- Who are you talkin' to?

Oh, yeah, I know.

Three generations of emersons
livin' under the same roof

you're lucky man, roc.

Ain't nobody ask
you nothin' about that.

Okay, you naughty..

Yeah, Eleanor, I
guess with pop gone

we missin' a generation, huh?

I know. I sure miss him.

Yeah, I miss him too, baby.

- Roc, Eleanor..
- Jill, hey.

Uh-huh. Well..
He didn't go for it.

Wha-what, I mean,
what, did you give

you give him the whole
story and everything?

Y-Y-Yeah and lay
that kiss on him, right?

I told him the story,
I gave him the kiss

but Joey would
not leave that baby.

Ooh, roc..

- Good lord, he passed.
- Yes, he did, good for him.

Okay, now I do believe the
two of you owe me dinner?

- Yes, dear, have a seat.
- Dinner?

- Handle it, roc.
- Oh, oh, yeah, we got a dinner.

Dinner. Dinner. Uh, here you go.

- Darlin'.
- Okay, here you go.

Come on. More
pretzels over here!

Wait, man, that roc, now, see

gettin' mad at me for
spending his money is one thing

but doing this to you, pop,
now, that-this-this is tired.

Uh, the next time I see that
knucklehead i'MMA gonna tell him

about his self, i'MMA
tell him he's a tight wad

he's a penny pincher
and he's selfish

he need to take a
good look at his..

Hey, pop.

Roc, just the man I wanna see.

Where's my rent money, Joey?

Roc, lookin' good.
Pop, I'll talk to you later.

Look, pop.

I came here to ask
you to come home.

Well, roc, you don't
have to say that.

I know this is an
important time in your life.

You startin' your family
now and you don't need

an old man in the way.

Oh, pop, how many
times I have to tell you

you're not in the way, pop.

Roc, what happens
when the day comes

that I need someone to
feed me and to dress me?

Now I don't want you
to have to deal with that

and I don't want you
seein' me like that.

Now, I've always been
an independent person.

And that's the way I
want you to remember me.

Listen, pop

if I'm starting a family,
I'm gonna need you

more than ever, pop.

I want my son to
learn from you, pop.

I mean you've seen
things, you know

that Marcus should know about.

I want you to tell him about
the struggle black people

have gone through
in this country.

I want you to tell
him about your stories

you know about the
civil rights movement.

'At least the
ones that are true.'

I want you to teach
him the same values

you taught me, pop.

Oh, come on, pop.
Please, come home.

Well, I do like
telling my stories.

But if the time ever
comes when you...

Pop, pop, pop, listen,
when I was a kid

you are always there for me

and I'm gonna be
there for you, pop.

Well, you are a good son.

I know, pop, so let's pack
up and get out of here.

Now, hold on, not
so fast, you know here

when I take long showers
nobody complains.

Okay, pop, you know, I-I won't
time your showers at home.

Well, that's not the only thing.

They keep the heat up here and..

It gets nice and
toasty at night.

Okay, pop, you-you can,
okay, you can, you know

you can turn the
thermostat up at night

if you like at home, okay?

And when I feel
like eatin' in my room

they serve me and they pick
up the dishes when I'm done.

Is there anybody here
who knows any stories

about the civil rights movement?

That's okay, we can forget
about the Butler service.

I'll come home anyway.
Uh, hold on a minute.

Son, would you bring
my bags, please?

You mean you already packed?

Well, when you called and
said you were coming to visit

I knew you were going
to beg me to come home

and that's where I
wanna be anyway.

So you still put me through
this whole negotiation.

Just another example
of my age wisdom, roc.

[Laughs]

Oh, I can't wait to tell
my grandson this story.

Yeah, come on, knucklehead.

No, no, no, Jill,
Jill, there's, no, no.

There's no hard
feelings, alright?

No, hey-hey-hey,
the important thing is

I passed the test, right, yeah.

No, baby, no hard
feelings, you know me

I appreciate a good scam anyway.

Listen, seein' you the other
night though made me realize

how long it's been, you
know what I'm saying?

So, uh, so, baby, I
was wondering, uh

I'd like for you to come
over to my new place and, uh

you know maybe have a
nice, romantic dinner together

what do you think?

Yeah, oh, that's great.
That's good, yeah.

Yes, tonight,
tonight, please. Yeah.

Why don't you come over now?

Uh-huh, yeah. Oh,
that'd be great, baby.

That would be perfect.

Yeah, okay.

I'll be waiting for you. Okay.

Bye-bye.

[Sighs]

[Andrew] 'Hey, son, I thought
I'd pay you a surprise visit.'

hey, pop, no, pop! Hey, pop!
