Well, my room
is all straightened up,

and we're ready
for the party.

Hey, you're supposed
to be cleaning up out here.

Cleaning up.

Michael, you
call this clean?

Now, Ma's only
been gone one day,

and you turned
a 17th-floor apartment

into a pig pen
with a view.

Well, Thelma, to tell you
the truth, I like it.

It's got that lived-in look.

Look, if you don't
clean up this mess,

you're going to have
that stomped-on look.

Thelma, don't get
overheated.

Your face'll melt.

Michael, look.

Now, we all agreed
to share the work

while Ma is out
on Jessie's, right?

Now, I did my part.

Oh, yeah? What have you done?

Who do you think
cooked dinner around here?

I don't know,

but I'm sure
the health department

would give plenty to know that.

Michael, don't get
smart with me.

Now, get up and clean
this place like you promised.

Hold on, I cleaned
this room up yesterday.

All right,
well, look at it.

It needs
cleaning today.

Spread the news.
There's a party tonight.

All the chicks can boogie down
with Kid Dy-no-mite.

Well, you better put that stuff
away, because if Willona

finds out
about the party,

we're not going
to have one.

Yeah, you're right.

And I got
a big surprise.

What one thing
could guarantee

making this party
a huge and utter success?

You're not coming!

I will be there,
but so will Robert Simpson.

Hey, Superstar Simpson.

Out of sight, man.

He was my hero,

the best basketball player
our high school ever had.

All City, All State.

All the chicks
that he could handle.

You know,
he took me out once.

Mm. Nobody's perfect.

Yeah, but then he got
a scholarship to college.

What's he doing back?

I don't know. You know
how these big superstars are.

You know,
they come in and out of town.

Anyway, I saw him
in the street,

I asked him to come,
and he said he will.

I tell you, everybody will be
knocked out when they see him.

You know, J.J.,

you're taking
this thing really good.

You hated him
in high school,

because he was
your main competition,

and he always won.

Yeah.

He got all
the fine foxes,

and you got
all the leftovers.

Hey, Michael.

Ain't nothing wrong
with leftovers

if you know how to reheat them.

How about the time

when you both ran for
senior prom chairman?

He won that one, too.

Yeah, but it was
a close election.

Real close.
120 to 1.

Hey, Thelma. That was my fault.

I forgot, when you go to
a ghetto school,

you got to win
the black vote.

Okay, but if you two
do not clean up this place,

there's not
going to be a party.

Remember, Ma put me
in charge around here.

Oh, no, she didn't.

Ma said, specifically,
before she left,

"J.J., you are in charge,
because you are the oldest,

the smartest,
and the prettiest."

Ma never said that.

How do you know?

Because
she doesn't drink.

She must be
doing something weird.

She had you.

Oh!

That's right.

I'm the one in charge!

You ain't in charge!

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Cool it.

As I was saying, Willona is
still the most beautiful woman

in the project.

Save it, J.J.

If I need any of that,
I'll buy a bag full of it

and spread it
over top of the lawn.

Listen, your mother told me to
keep my eye on you this weekend.

You promised me individually
and collectively

there would be no arguing.

No fighting.
Yeah.

We're sorry, Willona.
All right.

Yeah, Willona, from now on,
we're going to be so good,

we going to look like
the Brady Bunch with tans.

Well, don't strain yourself.

I hope we get through
this weekend

without having to call
the SWAT team out here.

I was going to go
to the Blue Frog tonight,

but I better stay
and keep my eye on you three.

Oh, no, Willona,
you can't do that.

Why not?

Well, because, um...

Thelma's going to tell you why.
Tell her.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, you know,
we won't to be here, Willona.

We're going to the movies.

Oh, good. That'll
keep you out of trouble.

What are you
going to go see?

We're going to see
the gay version of King Kong,

called Queen Kong.

He's just jiving,
Willona.

We're going to see that double
feature at the Colony.

Oh.
Yeah, you know, Willona,

deep down in your heart
that you can trust us.

Have a nice time at the movie.
I'll see you all later.

Okay.
All right, Willona. Bye.

Well, we pulled that one off.

The party is on.

Yeah, all right!
Let's boogie down.

[STEVIE WONDER'S
"SIR DUKE" PLAYING]

All right.

That Stevie's too bad,
ain't he?

He's just too bad.

Hey, great party,
huh, J.J.?

Yeah, Thelma,
this is out of sight.

It's even going to
get better

when Robert "Superstar"
Simpson gets here.

Hey, yeah. You know,
this is the first time

the three of us
gave a party together.

Hey, Thelma,
you know, that's great.

I don't mind
partying with your friends,

but when Michael's friends
come in here,

the party turns from
Soul Trainto Sesame Street.

Oh, yeah?

Well, I'm going to
have to start

checking out
Sesame Streetsome more.

Here I am, J.J.,

ready to spend
the whole evening together.

Well, well, well.

And so we will.

And so we will,
my little African Violet.

First I want you to meet
my sister.

Thelma, this is Marcia.

Marcia, this is Thelma.

How you doing?
Hi, how you doing?

Hang on to this, gal.

I want you to meet
my brother over here, Michael.

As you can tell,
we are brothers.

Same lip technique.

Uh, Michael,
there ain't nobody here

from
the Guinness Book of Records.

Y'all can break this up.

Hey, J.J., man, don't be
stepping in on my action.

I can't help it
if you ain't getting any.

Come on.

I have created a monster.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Well, look here,
my little buttercup.

I will talk to you
later on in the evening.

I'm just going
to pick up the door.

Me and you going to be totally--
Aha-ha! Superstar!

Hey, J.J.
How you doing?

All right, man.
Oh, wow, man.

I didn't know that many people
was going to be here.

Look, I wanted
to talk to you.

Come on in, man.

Hey, everybody.
Look who's here.

You don't have to do
all that.

Robert "Superstar" Simpson.

[GUESTS MURMUR GREETINGS]

So glad
you could make it.

How you doing?

All right.
Let's boogie down.

Hit me with that music.

[FUNKY MUSIC PLAYING]

There goes the feet,
out of control.

J.J.:
There goes the hands.

Nothing can stop me now.

Get in here.
Get in here.

Get in here.
Willona.

Short movie, huh?

What, all this? There's
a good explanation for all this.

I want to hear it.

Well, see,
what happened, Willona,

is that these 15 people
bust in here,

and forced us
to party with them.

The truth, J.J.

All right, Willona,
the truth.

All these people
are Thelma's friends

and they held me here hostage.

The truth?

The truth is, well, Willona,
we were afraid to tell you,

because we thought you'd say no.

Oh, honey, I don't care
if you have a party,

but if you do,
you got to have a chaperone.

Willona, we don't hardly
need no chaperone.

Oh, no?

Michael don't need
a chaperone.

He needs a score card.

Oh...

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Excuse me, isn't it time
to come up for some fresh air?

Willona. What are you
doing here?

Never mind what I'm doing here.

You stop doing
what you doing here.

Hey.

What's going on
over here, man?

Robert, what's happening?

I mean a superstar's
supposed to be mingling.

J.J., knock off the
superstar jive, okay?

Hey, what's wrong, man?

I mean, doggone it,
I know you, man.

It ain't
that same old...

[IMITATES ENGINE
REVVING]

Is there something wrong?

Yeah, man.
Everything is wrong.

Hey, what could be wrong

for the old
basketball hero?

J.J.

I am not a
basketball hero anymore.

Last week, man, I--

I got cut from the team,
all right?

Cut from the team?

You?

But you the greatest, man.

Yeah, in high school,

and so was everyone else
who plays college ball,

but someone's
gotta wash out, right?

And I was spending
so much time

trying to stay
on the team

until I was
flunking out anyway, so...

Hey, man,

I'm sorry to hear that.
That's awful.

But look here, man,
basketball ain't everything.

Hey, man, for me it is.

"Superstar," remember?

J.J., that's all
I've ever dreamed of being.

I mean, haven't you ever
wanted anything that bad?

Yeah, but she moved
to Cleveland.

Basketball is
my whole life, man.

Without it, I am nothing.

Yeah, Yvonne,
this is him.

"Superstar" Simpson.

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

Man, I'm your
number one fan.

I've seen
every game you played.

I even kept
a scrapbook on you.

Michael, not now.
I'm not finished, J.J.

Remember that game you played
against Hyde Park,

and you scored 42 points?
Man, you are too hot.

Michael, why don't
you and Yvonne

go over here
and wait for Ma to come home?

But she won't be home
for another two days.

I know that. Go ahead.

I'm sorry
about that, Robert.

It's all right.

Want me to buy you
a cup of Kool-Aid?

Look, J.J.,

I don't want to put
a damper on the party,

so let's keep this
between us, okay?

Solid, brother.

Hey, Robert,
have a good game.

We're all
rooting for you.

Yeah.

Time for a little air.

Oh, my dear.

Hey, oh.
I'm sorry, ma'am.

That's all right,
honey.

You better be careful.

A person your age

could get hurt
on the dance floor.

A person my age?

Turn that
music up, honey.

[CHEERING]

You got to be
careful, honey.

A person your age

could get hurt
on the dance floor.

Have you
told Ellen yet?

No.

Have you
told your folks?

I can't.

My father's a grade school
coach, you know,

and he always wanted me
to be a big star.

Hey, Ellen, Levi.

How you all doing?

What's happening?

I'm glad you could come.

Ellen, what are
you doing here with Levi?

Robert's here.

I've been going with Levi
for a month.

No, no.
Robert is here now.

Well, look,

he was going to have to
find out sometime,

so I guess it's just
going to have to be tonight.

Look, Robert.

There's Ellen
over there.

Now, I know you said
you couldn't face her,

but now's as good a time
as any

to tell her you got cut
from the team. Head over.

I'm sure
she'll understand, man,

and you'll feel
a whole lot better.

Yeah, maybe
you're right.

Go ahead.
I know I am.

Ellen, baby.
How are you?

Hey, look,
I got to talk to you.

Hi, Robert.

Listen, you remember
Levi Walker, don't you?

Oh.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah,
how you doing?

Hey, Robert, I'm sorry.

Robert.

Hey, Robert.
How you doing?

Having good fun?

Oh, no. You're not
getting away this time, J.J.

You just love
squeezing these bones,

don't you, Mama?

Who wouldn't?

I mean, it's like dancing
with a double order of ribs.

Glad you came.

Whoo-wee.

Hey, Thelma,
I forgot something.

Your chapeau.

Yeah, thanks,
Rhonda.

Good night, cool dude.

Yourself.

Ooh, girl, am I tired.

What's going on
in this closet?

Uh, nothing, Willona.

See for yourself.

Willona, they can't be
getting too romantic

both smelling
like moth balls.

Well, isn't it time
for the little moth

to fly away from the flame?

Well, I guess it is time
for me to be leaving.

Good night, Yvonne.
Good night, Michael.

Your coat.

Willona, I just want
to kiss her good night.

What do you think you was doing
for the past three hours, honey?

Practicing.

Well, the practice is over.

Good night, darling.

Good night.

Night.
Good night.

Whoo, child.

Wasn't that
a great party, Michael?

Yes.
Oh, yeah, it was great.

I got enough strength to go to
the Blue Frog and have my own...

[STOMPS FEET]
Partini.

Hey, Willona,
if you're lucky,

you can chaperone
our next party.

Call me.

If I'm crazy, I'll do it.

And look, clean this house up--
later.

MICHAEL:
All right, Willona.

She's right.

Just look at this place. Oh.

Mm. Yeah, Thelma, you got
a lot of work ahead of you.

Hey, J.J., this door's locked.
I can't get it open.

What are you
talking about?

You must be crazy.

Let me check
this thing out, here.

What's going on, here?

All right.

[GRUNTING]

Hey, man.
This thing is stuck.

That's weird.

Yeah,
must be locked.

Hey, is somebody
in there?

MAN:
Go away.

Come on,
who is that?

MAN:
Who cares?

I care. It's the
only bathroom we got.

Hey, Robert, is that you?

ROBERT:
Yeah, it's me.

Oh, Robert.
Come on, now.

What are you
doing in there?

I'm waiting
to die.

I just took a whole
bottle of pills.

Robert.

Waiting to die.

Now, the only
kind of pills

we have in there are Vitamin C.

The worst thing that can happen

is that he comes out
looking like an orange.

Wait a minute, you all.

I think he may have brought
his own pills.

J.J., what are you
talking about?

Well, Robert was really down
tonight.

He just flunked out of school,

and got cut
from the basketball team.

Oh, no.

And on top of all that,
his girlfriend quit him.

He's trying to kill himself.

Ma!

No, Robert, now, look.

Don't do this.

There's a million
reasons to live.

Name one.

Lola Falana.

Go away.

Oh, no. What are we
going to do now?

I got an idea.

Well, I guess I'm just
going to have to

knock the door down.

And how are you
going to do that?

Brute strength,
young lady.

Brute strength.

Robert, come on out, now.

Back off, young lady.

You never know which way

these splinters
is going to fly.

Here we go.

[IMITATES
A MARTIAL ARTIST]

Jeez.

I got this.

Hey, Robert.

If you come out, we could
talk about it, you know.

Robert.

Robert.

Oh, no. You think
he's still alive in there?

Hey, I got it.

Hey, get out of here.

MICHAEL:
Robert, man.

J.J.:
Come on, man.
What you doing?

Hey.

Hey, man.
You look okay to me.

Okay, now,
we still got time.

Hold on, I'll get the
home medical advisor.

Why don't you
just leave me alone.

I wasn't hurting you.

Hey, well, we're not going to
sit around here

and let you hurt yourself.

Hey, it says here,

in case of
an overdose of pills,

you have to try
to make the patient throw up.

How are we
going to do that?

No problem.

Thelma,
cook something.

J.J., you're wasting your time.

This man took a whole bottle
of sleeping pills.

All right, come on,
Robert, man.

Now, lay down,
brother.

Hey, wait, J.J.
No, no, hold on.

It says here you got to keep
the patient awake at all times.

Ooh, get up, Robert.

And call the ambulance
at the fire department.

Oh, yeah.
Quick.

We should have done that
in the first place.

Well, Michael,

what do you think
of your big hero now?

Hey, Robert, man,
don't worry about it.

You're still number
one on my list.

Don't jive me, Michael.

I don't have it anymore, baby,

and nobody likes a loser.

Hey, Robert, man,
that's not true.

J.J. has millions
of friends.

I'm just trying to cheer him up.

Okay, we'll be there
in a minute.

Okay, now,
the rescue squad's on the way.

They said to do the same
as the book, to keep him up.

Okay, I got to wait outside
so they won't miss the place.

All right, Michael,
you go with Thelma.

I'll keep him up.

Don't let him fall asleep, man.

I shouldn't have
come here.

I should have just
driven off a bridge.

Don't say that, Robert.

Wouldn't have worked
anyway, though.

With my luck,

I'd have gotten mugged
on the way to the car.

For a guy that's dying,

you really got
a negative attitude.

J.J. I got to lay down.
I feel so groggy.

No, bro.

I think you better
keep on moving, here,

and we better go
for a little walk, man.

I mean, how could anybody
want to kill himself?

You know, when I wake up
in the morning,

I don't know whether it's going
to be a good day or a bad day

till I look
in the mirror.

Then I know
one thing for sure.

There is a god.

J.J., you don't know
how bad things can really get.

Hey, man, how bad
could things be?

So you're not
a basketball hero anymore.

You know, when I
was in high school,

I wanted to be
a football star,

but the coach told me,

"Unless you're going out
for the goal post,

we don't need you."

Hey, man, get some of this
coffee down in you. Come on.

J.J, I got to sit down.
I'm tired.

Come on, man.

Don't-- No, man.
Get up, man.

Come on.
Come on, man.

Just keep walking.

Where's that
rescue squad at, man?

Hey, Robert,
you want to see

some of my
latest paintings, man?

Hey, come on,
you can look

a little more enthused
than that, brother.

I know it ain't Picasso,
but look here.

Yeah.

This is three of my
high school English teachers.

I call it
"Blood, Sweat & Tears."

You know, I owe this whole thing
to Michael.

That's right, Michael, man.

When he was four years old,

it was him who gave me the idea
to move on to watercolors,

because he ate up
all my finger-paints.

Come on, man. Wake up, man.

Don't fall asleep, man.

Come on.
We got to keep moving, man.

Come on, now.

Let's go, here, man.

You know, Robert,
when you get right down to it,

painting is really
the only thing

that I can do well...

That you get paid for.

Hey, Robert,
you better sit down, brother.

You getting heavy here.

Hey, man.

Hey, come on there, Robert.

Wake up, man. Wake up.

Let's get it together.

Come on, now. Come on.

Hey, Robert. You know...

You know, when you talk
about painting, man...

Come on, Robert. Wake up, man.

When you talk
about painting, man, like,

that's really the only thing
that I can do well, man,

but if I don't make it
in the art world, man,

I am not
going to give up, man.

I am not
going to give up, man.

I'm going to keep on going

and I'm going to pick myself up
and just dust myself off

and try something else, man.

That's all it is.

J.J.

J.J., I'm scared.

Man. Hey, Robert,
don't talk, man.

Don't talk.

Just try to stay loose, man.
Let me do all the talking here.

Maybe you ought to give a shot
to go back to school again, man.

That's what you ought to do.

You know, a lot of people
flunk out of school, man.

If you can remember, I wasn't

the most brilliant student
in the world, myself, brother.

Matter of fact, one semester

my mother promised
to pay me five dollars

if I could raise my grades
up to an F.

Hey, come--

Come on, Robert.

I used to get those weird grades
in school too, man.

Like, one semester,
I got two Ms and a K minus.

Try to explain that
to your folks, man.

Come on, now, Robert.

Man, let's get it together,
here.

You know how I spent
my senior year?

As a junior.

I guess I joke around a lot,
don't I?

Well, Robert, I had to,

because that made me
the class clown

instead of the class fool, man,

but now all that's changed, man.

Now I'm in art school, man,
getting straight As, man.

It's just finding
your niche in life, Robert.

That's all it is, man.

Finding your niche,
brother.

No doubt about it.

You know what you got to do,
man.

You got to find yourself
a good woman.

That's it, Robert.

Got to find yourself
a good woman, man.

You know, Robert,
matter of fact,

a good woman,
that's what I need.

Robert, you know where we can
find a good woman, man?

Come on, Robert. Wake up, man.

I remember my first date, man.

Laura Lee Henderson.

You remember her,
don't you, brother?

She wasn't the brightest girl
in the world, man, but, man,

if she didn't have
a nose on her face,

she wouldn't have nothing
between her ears.

Come on, Robert, man.

That's funny, man.
Laugh it up, man.

That's your problem, man.

You don't laugh anymore,
brother.

You got to laugh, man, laugh.

Boogie, boogie, boogie, boo.

Come on, man.

Get it together.

Hey, man, why'd you take
those pills here anyway, man?

It's almost like
you wanted us to catch you, man.

Gee whiz.

Come on, Robert.

Don't die, man. Get on up here.

Wow. Now, where was I at?

Chicks.

Yeah. Where I'm always at.

You know, Robert,
I can remember my first date.

That's right, man.

My first date.

I feel like Edgar Bergen here.

I remember it, man.

I can remember my first date.

My first kiss.

My first hug, brother.

Matter of fact,

I can remember
the first time, well...

Well, let me put it to you
this way.

I can remember
the night the legend was born.

Robert.

Robert, man.
I got to admit something to you.

I lied, brother.

That's right. I lied, man.

Laura Lee Henderson--

Get up here, man.
Come on, brother.

Let's get up.

[GROANS]

Laura Lee Henderson
wasn't my first date, man.

She was the first chick
I asked to go out.

I asked her to go out.

She said no, man.

Five times.

Which goes to prove to you,
brother,

the best of us get turned down,
man.

The best of us.

That's right.

All it takes, man,
is a little confidence.

You know?

I learned that
from my father, man.

That's right.

My father.

You know,
I really miss him, man.

That's right, I do, man.

I really miss him.

Yeah. You know, you can't talk
to your father

about your problems now, man,

but I just wish, man,

that for five minutes
I could talk to my father.

Hey, Robert.

Come on, man. Wake up.

Look here, man.

There's a whole damn world
out there to live for, man,

and not a damn thing
to die for, man.

Robert, don't die, man.

A lot of people care, man.

I care. Come on, man.

He's in here.

Thank God.

He looks bad,
all right.

Okay, I'll
get his legs.

Hey, wait a minute!

Wait a minute!

Get him
on the table.

Get him
on the table.

These are
the pills he took.

Thank you.

Hey, man,
can you save him?

Yeah, we can get these
out of him easy,

but the rest
is up to him.

Hey.

Hey, thanks, man.

All of you.

Hey, man, we'll be around.

RESCUE WORKER:
Okay, make sure...

Got the door?

All right.

Let's get him out.
All right.

You're all right.

Hey, J.J.

Man, did you
see that?

He smiled.

Yeah.

I taught him that.

* Mmm... *

* Just looking
Out of the window *
