Hey, Florida,
you got any more of this stuff?

Oh, sure, honey.

I didn't know
you liked it so much.

Are you kidding? I love it.
Mm-hmm.

I like it better every time
you make it.

It's my favorite meal.

What is it?

Now, James, you know
what this is.

It's the three-course
inflation dinner.

'Course it ain't beef,
'course it ain't lamb,

and 'course it ain't pork.
[LAUGHS]

Well, I ain't eating
these seconds

till I hear you say,
"'Course it ain't horse."

Oh.

Just jiving, baby,

but thanks
for keeping it warm, hear?

Well, I knew
you'd be in late.

Yeah, you know,
I figure the overtime

I'm making tonight

ought to just about cover
Junior's trip to St. Louis.

Oh, James, you know I worry
when J.J.'s gone.

You think he's gonna be
all right?

Oh, for the hundredth time,
Florida, yes.

Well, you know.
It's cold in St. Louis...

and I only packed him
one leather jacket,

two sweaters, and
two pairs of long johns.

Baby, the boy's only going
to an art show,

not the winter Olympics.

I know you, James,

you're just as worried about him
as I am.

Sure I am, but at least
I didn't make no scene

when he left last night.

I didn't make no scene.

You didn't, huh?
Mm-mmm.

That's the first time
I ever seen anybody

trying to stow away
on a Greyhound bus.

Yeah, you broke my record!
You know you broke it!

Thelma, I did not
break your record.

You pushed me
into the record player.

I did not!

Couldn't you see
I was dancing?

Oh, is that what
you were doing?

I thought you backed
into an open fuse box.

Don't get smart now.

All right, you two.

That's enough.

Ma, he owes me $4.95

for a new Gladys Knight
and the Pipsalbum.

Thelma, you still have
your album.

Here's Gladys Knight.

And here are the Pips.

I guess they ain't singing
together no more.

Look, don't get smart.
You're gonna pay for this.

Thelma, I'm not gonna give you
one penny for that album!

Sister, dear,

how much did you say
your album cost?

And I thought
we were gonna have

a nice quiet weekend
with J.J. gone.

Hi, y'all.
FLORIDA: Hi, Willona.

Wait till you hear.

There goes
a nice quiet weekend.

Oh, James.

That's right, James,
pick on somebody

who just was involved
in a holdup.

What?
A holdup?

Willona, what you--?
You were in a holdup?

A holdup, let me tell you
what happened.

I was working late because
of our dollar annual sale.

It used to be a penny sale,
but everything's going up--

Oh, come on, Willona!
What about the holdup?

Well, anyway, I was selling
the last of those jumpsuits.

Flo, you should
have came in there

and got one of those.
It would've looked bad on you.

You mean, the ones
with the matching sweaters

and the full pockets
on the front?

That's right, uh-huh.
Oh, no.

Willona, I told you
to put one away for me.

It would've gone perfect with
that new purse I got from--

Now, she's talking
about a holdup, not handbags!

I'm sorry, what happened?
Yeah, what about the holdup?

Anyway, I was just getting
ready to close up,

and this dude walks in
and pulls out a gun

and says, "Give me
all the cash you got."

Willona, you did
what he said, right?

You jiving?

When a dude points a gun at me,
honey,

I'll gift wrap
the cash register.

Girl, you must
be shaken all--

I'm scared to death,
and that was shock--

Sit down.
I was shocked.

I'm gonna make you
a cup of tea.

Yeah, Willona, tell me,

what'd the dude
look like?

This tall, white dude
with a Afro.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

I'll get it.

Hello.
Oh, you wanna speak to J.J.?

Hold on a minute.

What's going on?

I thought J.J.
was in St. Louis.

Willona, he is,
but while he's out of town,

he doesn't want
any of his chicks to know

that he's out of circulation.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[IMITATES J.J.]
Hello.

Yes, this is the doctor of love
speaking,

ready to fill your prescription.

Say what?

Yeah, baby, of course our date
is on for Monday night.

Well, mama, just make sure
you are dressed for the test,

and I will do my best
to take care of the rest.

[NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

All right, baby, till Monday.
"Sari-nara."

Ooh, child!

I feel sorry for y'all.

Now you got two of them
in the family.

Sayonara.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Uh, you wanna
get the door,

Junior number two?

Getting the door.

JAMES:
Oh, no.

MICHAEL:
Uh-oh.

Evening, folks.

What you want
here, Bookman?

Ain't nobody call
for the janitor.

You know, you just don't
appreciate me, Evans.

As a matter of fact, your wife
called about a leaky pipe,

so naturally,
I rushed right up here.

Well, you must have come
by way of covered wagon,

because I called you
six weeks ago.

Anyway, James already fixed
that pipe.

Oh, that's bad, Evans.
You know, I hate this,

but I'm gonna have
to report you.

It clearly states
in your lease,

"Tenants ain't supposed
to touch the plumbing."

It also states, "Tenants ain't
supposed to live in a lake."

You know, we get a lot
of calls, Mrs. Evans.

These things take time.

Yeah, I can imagine.

It probably took
about four weeks

to drag that lard
up the stairs.

JAMES:
You round rascal.

Hey, a little snack.
Don't mind if I do.

Hey, maybe you don't,
but I do.

Now, is that any way
to treat the head janitor?

Listen, Mr. Booger.
Bookman, Bookman!

Booger, booger.

The last 10 weeks,
I've been telling you

I got a broken light
switch in my living room.

What you going
to do about it?

Yeah, well, I'll try
to squeeze it into my schedule.

Sure.
Well, why don't you see

can you squeeze your hocks
through that doorway.

You know, you just can't be nice
to you people.

You people?

Get out of here,
buffalo butt, go on.

Hey, Miss Williams, you know,

I was just on my way
up to your place.

Good, because
I ain't there.

[JAMES LAUGHS]

Wanda...

you better be careful
how you treat that janitor.

Someday you may need him
for something.

Well, I don't think so, Florida.

You know, I know
that Goodyear blimp.

Miss Williams,
would you like some tea?

No, sweetie.
No, thank you.

Oh, I came down to borrow
a couple of candles,

if you got any.

Well, sure. Thelma, you know
where the candles are.

Yeah, Ma.

Miss Williams, what are you
gonna do with candles?

Oh, uh, I, um--

I have a date tonight
for dinner,

and I want to be romantic.

[FLORIDA LAUGHS]

You still go out on dates?

Why not?

I figure I'm at that
in-between age:

Too old to marry,
and too young to bury.

All right.

[LAUGHS]

Yeah, tell 'em, Wanda.

Just because the game
is in the fourth quarter

don't mean it's over, huh?

Ah!

Right on there, brother.

Here you are,
Miss Williams.

Oh, thank you, Florida.

You're welcome, Wanda.

See y'all later.
Okay.

See you later, Wanda.
Later, Miss Williams.

Oh, that Wanda
sure is something...

always joking,
always in just great spirits.

She fooled you
too, huh, Flo?

What?

I heard it all over the
Laundromat this morning.

She is broke.

Willona,
that's a disease we all got.

Yeah, but you ain't heard
the worst of it, honey.

She's behind three months
on the rent.

She just got a notice
this morning.

If she don't pay it all up
by the end of this week,

she's gonna be evicted.
That's awful.

You know the real reason
why she wanted those candles?

Why?

They turned her lights off
this morning.

But how could that be?
She gets social security.

Florida, that ain't enough
to live on.

It's just enough to die on.

Oh, Ma, this is awful.

[SIGHS]

There must be something
we can do.

Honey, don't look at me.

The banks don't cash
my checks no more.

They just look at them
and laugh.

James, what about us?

You paid our bills last night.
What we got left over?

More bills.

Daddy, there must
be something we can do.

We just can't let them

put her out on the street
like that.

Hey, wait a minute.

Maybe there is something
we can do.

James, you remember
what we used to do for folks

who got in trouble
with their rent?

A rent party!
A rent party!

Right, right.

Yeah? What's a rent party,
Daddy?

Well, that's where you have
a party,

and you provide food
and entertainment.

You charge all the people
that come,

and you give the money
to the person that's in trouble.

Hey, that's a great idea.
I could help with the cooking.

Oh, no, then we gonna all
be in trouble.

Oh, we can do it, James,
I just know we can.

The only problem is

how we gonna let everybody
know about it?

Honey, that ain't no problem.

You give me 10 minutes
on that telephone,

I'll have you
standing room only.

Hey, and I know we can
get the recreation room.

That's a good idea,
Florida,

but you forgetting
one problem.

What's that, James?

Wanda's pride.

Now, it stands to reason,
if she didn't tell you

what she really needed
them candles for,

she sure ain't gonna let you
give her no rent party, huh?

Hey...

Who says Wanda has to know
the party is for her?

Yeah, that's right,
we could just kinda

spring it on her, couldn't we?
Surprise her!

That's right.
All we gotta do

is get the food
and the entertainment--

And the adhesive tape.

Adhesive tape?

Mm-hmm.

To put over Willona's mouth

so she don't tell Wanda
about the party.

Oh, no. That's too much.

All right. All right.
All right.

I'm glad
you could make it.

I know you gonna
enjoy yourself.

Now, get over,
get some of that chicken.

Don't forget to get
some food.

How you doing, my man?

Now, get over,
get some of that bird, now.

Hey, Daddy.
How are you doing, honey?

Hey, baby girl.
[THELMA SQUEALS]

All right, here you go.

And thank you very,
very much.

How's it going,
Willona?

Honey, I can't keep up.

Neither can I.

Did you ever see chicken
move so fast?

Not unless there was a rooster
on its tail.

I wanna see daylight
at all times, kids.

All right.

Hey, my man. How you doing?

How's everything?

Daddy, Daddy.

Hey, how you doing, Wanda?

Uh, what is it?

James.
Huh?

I wanna know how come
Michael won't let me pay

to come to this party
like everybody else.

Well, Wanda, see, it's,
uh, the kind of party

where senior citizens
get in for free.

Come on.
No.

No, no.

It's a rent party,
and I wanna pay my own way.

There.

Uh, who is the
party for, anyway?

Uh, well...

You see, uh...

[PIANO PLAYS]

I'd answer that, but I gotta
make this introduction.

Excuse me, Wanda,
excuse me.

Uh, folks, could you quiet down,
please.

Have a seat. Please have a seat,
please.

Please have a seat.

I got a special announcement
to make.

Under no circumstances
must you stop eating

or drinking, please,

because the ladies
over at the refreshment bar

have told me that they're
not busy enough.

[JAMES LAUGHS]

Now...

the next act, I know
you're gonna enjoy him

because he's talented,
he's bright, and he's my son,

so I know you're gonna
enjoy him.

The pride of the projects,
Michael Evans!

[CROWD CHEERS]

Oh, oh...

Hey, he's all right.

James, aren't you
proud of him?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, I just wonder
where he got

that voice from.

What you mean,
where'd he get that voice?

He come by it natural.

You've heard me
singing in the shower.

* When you're young-- *

That's why I wondered
where he got the voice from.

Ma, Willona, come on,
we gotta go change.

Our number's next.

That's right. Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.

Excuse me.

I'll watch the table
and the money for you.

Well, well, well, well, well.

What do we have here, Evans,
a little party, huh?

Yeah, and it ain't guess the law
either, Bookman.

It is if you charge money,

and that do appear to be
the coin of the realm.

You just can't stop
breaking that lease, can you?

Well, I can think
of a couple of other things

I'd like to break.

You know, it hurts.

I hate to have to do this,

but I'm gonna have
to shut the party down.

Now, come on, Bookman,
you know it's a rent party, man.

Ain't you got no heart
underneath all that blubber?

You know, there's one way
you might be able to persuade

me to forget all this.
Huh?

I understand you have
a little entertainment

going on.

Hey, man, why don't you
put me in the show?

Uh-uh.

No animal acts.

Suit yourself.
The party's as good as closed.

Oh, now come on, Bookman.
All right, you in.

But what else can you do
besides eat?

You kidding? Dig this...

[IMITATES JAMES CAGNEY]
You put me on your show,

otherwise you got trouble,
you dirty rat, you.

All right.
Uh-huh.

All right! All right.

Damn.

Uh, ladies and gentlemen...
[PLAYS INTRO]

can I have your attention,
please.

We have an extra
added attraction tonight...

which proves that you can find
talent anywhere you look.

Even underneath a rock.

May I introduce
our own head janitor,

[IMITATES JIM NABORS

Golly!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

I couldn't get
any transportation over here

to the show,

so I called up my good friend
Wolfman Jack.

He said,
"I'll give you a lift if..."

[IMITATES WOLFMAN JACK]
You let the midnight special

shine its ever-loving light
on you.

[IMITATES GOMER PYLE]
But he was kinda busy,

so I called up my good friend
Marlon Brando, the Godfather.

I knew he would make me an offer
I couldn't refuse.

[IMITATES HOWARD COSELL]
This is Howard Cosell,

speaking to the reputed

heavyweight champion

Well, Muhammad,
you're not the shell of the man

you used to be.

You're not the fighter you were
15 years ago.

What about the Foreman fight?

[IMITATES MUHAMMAD ALI]
Well, I tell you, Howard,

I beat Sonny Liston...

[CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

I beat 'em all, you know,

and you're not the same

15 short years ago.

Oh, now,

Whoo, James,

I don't think we ought to
put this off no longer.

What?

Come on up here.

We got a surprise
for you.

Come on,
Miss Williams, come on.

Come on.

Wanda, this whole party
was for you.

JAMES:
Yeah, that's right.

Oh, what's going on here?

Well, Wanda, we made
enough money off this party

to pay your rent for
the last few months

and next month too.

Hey, hey!

JAMES:
All right!

No. No, I can't. I couldn't.
I won't accept it.

Oh, Wanda.

We knew that,

that's why we didn't
give the money to you.

We'll give it
to Florida.

She'll take it down
to the Housing Office

first thing
in the morning

and give it to them
for you.

Right.
WILLONA: All right!

Now, Florida,

you know I don't
take no handouts.

Oh, Wanda...

Now, this is not charity.

We are all doing this
for a very selfish reason.

Nobody here is about to
let you move from this project.

Right?
That's right.

Okay.

And you wanna
know why, Wanda?

Because we love you.
