Hola, Dwaynito.

Mr. Gaines, lay it on me.
I want the works.

I want a breakfast
that'll put a waddle in my walk.

A waddle in the walk.

Eating like a pig and humming.
I guess you finally had a good night.

Loud and wrong, as usual.

Men aren't the only things
that inspire jubilation.

There's such a thing
as achievement, professional success.

Mmm-hmm. Control-top pantyhose.

All substitutes for the real thing.

At least I don't have to seek my dates
at the ASPCA.

No. You just go down
to the local penitentiary

for a little jailhouse rock.

- That was not funny.
- Ooh.

- Love is in the air.
- Yes, it is.

Please. Today I'm meeting
the new VP of Finance.

And if I can sell him
on this major art acquisition,

- girls, could mean a promotion.
- Yay!

Well, hike up that skirt a few more inches
and you won't even have to talk.

It's my brain, not my considerable charms

that are going to take me
up, up, up that ladder of success,

leading others to heights of opportunity.

Look at the time.

Wish me luck, girls.

Mmm!

She can lead

but who's gonna follow a woman
with bubble gum stuck to her butt?

Whitley! Whitley!

? I know my parents loved me ?

? Stand behind me come what may ?

? I know now that I'm ready ?

? For I finally heard them say ?

? It's a different world ?

? Than where you come from ?

? Yes, it is now, yeah ?

? Here's our chance to make it ?

? And if we focus on our goal ?

? You can dish it, we can take it ?

? Hey, just remember
That you've been told ?

? It's a different world ?

? It's a different world ?

? It's a different world ?

- ? It's a different world ?
- ? Than where you come from ?

? Ooh ?

? Than where you come from ?

Good morning, Mr. Holtworth.

Oh, glad to meet you.

Miss Abernathy speaks very highly of you.

I pay her well.

I hear you're from Chicago.

Uh, yes, by way of Boston
and, uh, Cleveland and Detroit

all in the space of two years.

Well, we soldiers of fortune
must go where the gold is.

But you won't have to travel far
for this one.

Behold�

a pre-Columbian Aztec masterpiece.

This vase represents the god Tlaloc.
Let me draw your attention�

Uh, excuse me,
but what is that on your skirt?

- Where?
- On the, uh, on the back.

It's, uh, kind of a pink blob.

Oh�

Well�

That would be bubble gum.

A post-Columbian artifact.

Uh, moving right along.

Please notice the fluidity of design,

the harmony of proportions.

Yes, they're impossible to ignore.

Yes, and this vase will appreciate
at an exponential rate.

Yeah, well, it's definitely
a blue-chip investment.

Music to my ears.

Ah, well, I will have to run it by
Mr. Krum, of course,

but, uh, hey,
I don't anticipate a problem.

Well, I'll let you get back
to your number crunching.

Uh, Whitley, I'd like us
to get better acquainted,

um, over dinner?

Uh�

Dinner?

Yeah. It's after lunch
and before breakfast.

I'm on a diet.

The no�
the no-dining-with-colleagues plan.

Yes, well, with your figure,
you don't need to be on any diet.

This is this month's rent�

Yes, I like that.

- Last month's rent, and a little interest.
- Oh, I like that.

- Here's a dollar.
- And it's dollar.

So, what's this new gig, Ron?

Well, it's in the private sector,
a service industry,

with high emphasis on communication.

- Ho, ho. Is it legal?
- Yeah?

I want to know if it's legal.

Baby, if our baby's a boy,
what do you think of the name "Earl"?

Earl Vincent Taylor.

No, no, no, no.

Earl sounds like somebody
who owes people money.

Uh, I need something
with a little more panache,

- a little more power.
- Hmm.

Hannibal.

- Hannibal?
- Yeah.

Brad, nobody reads anymore.

They're not gonna think
of the great African general.

They're gonna think of that crazy man
in that movie, Silence of the Lambs.

- His name wasn't Hannibal.
- It was Hannibal.

- You aren't naming him that.
- It wasn't.

- Dad, it's a very important day.
- Uh-huh.

Mmm-hmm, I've decided on a major.
What I want to do with my life.

Dad?

- That's my boy! That's my boy!
- All right. Uh-huh.

Beverages on me for everybody!

Juice on Brad.

Did you hear that, Jaleesa?

He's finally going to do something.

Yeah, I heard him, all right.

Dr. Sutherland is so cool.
This class with her set me on fire.

- Uh, burn, baby, burn!
- Uh-huh.

- Thanks to her, in 1994�
- Mmm-hmm.

- '94.
- �I'll receive my BA.

- All right.
- In dance!

- In dance.
- In dance.

Uh, well,
that is just wonderful, Terrence.

- Oh, right. All right.
- That's just wonderful.

- Isn't that wonderful, honey? Honey?
- Yep.

Brad, you owe me $35.90 for the juice.

By the way, what's the happy occasion?

Uh, I'll get that. Honey? Baby?

Come in.

From my antique weaponry collection.
I just bought it.

I just wanted to follow up
on our conversation.

Yeah. What do you think?

Pointy. Uh, Mr. Holtworth, I was wondering

what Mr. Krum's reaction
was to the Aztec piece.

- I haven't discussed it with him just yet.
- Why not?

Well, the other night,
as I was dining alone,

I began to wonder

whether it was as good an investment
as I'd originally thought.

It's an excellent investment.
Pieces like this double their value�

Great lipstick.

�ten years, and if we ever need cash,
I know many�

Ooh, your perfume's very nice.

I know many museums that would buy this-

Tell me, what color are your panties?

Mr. Holtworth, I'll have you know
you're dealing with a judge's daughter,

not some mealy-mouthed yes-woman
who doesn't know her rights.

Meritor vs. Vinson

states what you're doing is creating
a hostile work environment.

So, Sir Lancelot,

I suggest you
put your sword back in its sheath

or I'll report you
to human resources so fast

you won't remember
what color your underwear is.

Miss Gilbert, I don't wear any.

I finished putting
the second story on the doghouse.

You know, I really wish you
would calm down about Terrence.

Oh, for crying out loud, Jaleesa,
I'm perfectly calm.

Hmm? What? What? Oh!

I'm gonna go downstairs
and tile the basement, or something.

- Hey, Jaleesa.
- Hi.

- Dad.
- Hmm. Son.

You know, Terrence,

you're such a gifted mathematician
when you apply yourself.

Dance just isn't
a thinking man's career.

It's so unstable, short-lived,

and if you think
that I'm gonna pay for it,

you got another thing coming.

You're just unhappy because
I'm not gonna be the next Colin Powell.

Uh, no, no, son, I didn't say that.

I just wish that you would choose a career
that didn't involve you wearing a tutu.

Oh, okay. So dance isn't macho enough
for Bradford Taylor's son.

Come on, son, put it right there.

Let's see if you still got it, boy.
Come on!

Dad, you always taught me
not to buy into stereotypes.

Mmm-hmm.

Oh, oh, by the way�

I'm minoring in hairdressing.

What did he say? What did he say?

Oh, you�

I don't think it's shoulder�

Ah, Miss Gilbert, congratulations.

E.H. Wright has decided
to go ahead with the Aztec purchase.

Halle� I'm delighted.

John was telling me
what a sensational presentation you made.

He was very complimentary.

Ah, what else could I be?

Well, um, I'll just go out
and hunt me up some more masterpieces.

Uh, before you go, Miss Gilbert,
could I have a word with you, please?

- Excuse us, won't you, John?
- Uh, certainly. Uh, again,

congratulations, Miss Gilbert.

Mr. Krum, is this about my future here?

Yes.

Now, John was loath to bring this up,

but I dragged it out of him.

Your romantic overtures
are making him extremely uncomfortable.

My what?

He's a very proper man.

Any reference to "swords" and "sheaths,"
even in jest,

- uh, unnerve him.
- He� he's lying.

Oh, you didn't tell him
his sword was pointy�

- Ah!
- �and call him Sir Lancelot?

Ugh.

He took that out of context!

Yes, well, there is no proper context

for such comments
in this office, Miss Gilbert.

Nor is there for your provocative attire.

I don't believe this.

Plainly put, Miss Gilbert,
you've got a good brain. Use it.

Otherwise, you'll be out

on another part of your anatomy.

Come in.

You wanted to see me?

Interesting look.

Makes it more fun
to imagine what's underneath.

I'm due at a meeting.

Oh, come on.
Please, have a seat.

Please.

I just wanted to be the, uh,
one to break the good news.

As VP of finance,

I'll be the one escorting you to New York
to purchase the Aztec vase.

I� I can't go.

I'm expecting a death in the family.

Well, it'll look awfully irresponsible
if you don't go.

And, uh� don't forget
to pack your toothbrush.

Excuse me, Mr. Holtworth,
uh, Mr. Krum is waiting for you.

Right. Um, we're gonna work late tonight.

Yes, sir. Ugh.

Honey, your outfit stinks.

I'm wearing it for a reason.
I think you understand.

What? You got bad taste?

I saw the way he was looking
at you, Miss Lopez.

If we file a complaint together,
we could get rid of him.

I got nothing to complain about.
Good job, all the coffee I can drink. No.

A boss who harasses you.

Aye, cry me a river.

A friend of mine at my last job

filed a complaint
against one of the execs.

He got a slap on the wrist
for being a bad boy.

Now, everyone looks at her
like she's a troublemaker.

If we don't say anything,
this is just gon' go on and on.

Honey, I am looking to pay
my mortgage and feed my kid,

not qualify for sainthood.

I can't work this way.

We have to.

Listen, if he gets too fresh,

remember, you got knees.

I'd like Dad to be proud
of me for a change.

Terrence, that will only happen
if you're proud of yourself.

As a musician, I know
where you're coming from.

You'll do anything for your art.

Oh, apparently so.

�lonely, lovely lady?
Stop your boo-hooing.

Just pick up the phone
and dial those tears away.

- I'm Tyrone�
- Oh! Hey, Ty.

�and I'm waiting
on the other end of the super-jam line

to have pillow talk with you.

Dial 1-555-F-R-E-N-D-L Y.

Ew.

Wait a minute. So this is the mystery gig?

You a phone ho?

No. I�I don't answer the calls.
I just do the ads. It's� it's acting.

Oh, like a pimp.

Face it, you're a barnacle clinging
to the bottom of the ship of life.

Hey, don't you mean the love boat?

Oh, "The love boat." Go ahead and laugh.

My humiliation will only add
to the greatness of my art.

Oh, now he's gonna do a rendition
of "What I Did for Love."

Yeah, for $3.00 a minute.

- Come on, T.
- All right.

Hey, Whitley, it's meet Tyrone.

If it isn't the Dewey Decimal centerfold.

I am not a piece of meat!

- Hey, Whitley, what's up?
- Nothing.

Does this have anything
to do with that VP asking you to dinner?

- Wait, hey, is somebody bothering you?
- No. Nothing is wrong.

He hasn't�
he hasn't touched me, or anything.

He's just saying things.

Well, you're just gonna have
to go to personnel and complain.

That's a brilliant idea, Kimberly,
and I would have done that,

but he went in there and told his boss
that I was hitting on him.

I don't believe this.

It's so nice to know
that women have a position in business.

Too bad it's horizontal.

I know exactly how you feel.
At my first summer job,

my supervisor, Carol, had a thing for me.

I couldn't walk by this woman

without her talking
about the shape of my butt

or what it was gonna be like
to see me in my athletic supporter.

When I didn't show her the goods,
you know what she did?

She took me off the Bingo
video game project. Man!

Ugh.

Who cares?

What am I gonna do?

I'll tell you what to do.

Let me go down there.
I'll straighten it out.

I'll talk to this dude man-to-man.
We'll take care of it.

Dwayne, I can't have you going down there,
speaking on my behalf.

It will compromise
everything I've worked for.

What's left to compromise, Whit?

Okay, people, time to shut your mouths.

- Let's move those derrieres.
- Okay.

- Dad?
- That's� that's all right.

Dr. Sutherland, Colonel Taylor here.

I'd like to join your little dance class.

Turn. Kick. Yes.

Good. Thank you. Okay.
Let's have it in threes.

- Lena. Terrence.
- All right.

And, uh, Colonel Taylor.

Oh, come on. Please. Come on.

- Push, Colonel.
- I'm pushing.

And� Uh-huh.

Oh, lord.

And stop. Now.

Very good. Very good.

- Nice, Terrence, nice�
- Mmm-hmm.

�but next time give me a little
bit more Katherine Dunham,

a little less M.C. Hammer.

- Colonel. Persevere, but not in my class.
- Yes? Yes, thank you.

Next.

- You okay, Dad?
- Oh, yeah. Fine, fine, fine. Never better.

It was really cool,
you came to check out the class.

Well, I thought I'd do a little recon.

See how you were doing
at this dance thing here.

Terrence.

You were good.

No, son, you were really good.

Thank you.

But you know,
you're good at so many things, Terrence.

I mean, couldn't you just consider
minoring in something else?

I like philosophy.

- Oh, philosophy. That's good. That's good.
- Yeah.

Won't pay the rent, but it's a start, huh?

Uh, how much are these extra courses
at Avery going to cost?

Oh, I got it covered, Dad.

- You got a job?
- Uh-huh.

- All right.
- Yeah, Ron hooked me up.

Uh-huh. I'm now a, uh, spokesmodel
for 1-555-F-R-E-N-D-L-Y.

A phone ho?

Quick. He's coming
and leave me out of this.

You gonna have to make
this short and sweet, Miss Gilbert.

I have a lot of work to do.

That you do, sir.

Today I'd like to present to you
one of our paintings�

Not so loud, please. Uh, thank you.

Sorry.

A work by Juan de Pareja,
the Black assistant to Vel�zquez.

Note in this masterpiece
the drama of chiaroscuro.

The tension of the composition.

Don't� don't you want a closer look?

Oh, so, that's how it is.

How what is?

- Now you're ready to play ball.
- Yes.

I mean, no. Not here.
Did you say, "Play ball," as in cooperate?

John, I tried�

Let go of me! Get off me!

Well, it's very obvious
what's going on here.

Thank goodness.

Miss Gilbert, I see you respected
my advice on the dress code,

but have chosen to ignore my warning
about making advances on co-workers.

No, no, no. He was hitting on me.
I have it on tape.

Obviously, it's a case
of fatal attraction, Henry.

Oh, no, no, no, buster. I have it on tape.

Miss Gilbert, haven't you
embarrassed yourself enough?

Hang on to a shred of dignity.

Watch this.

It didn't tape.

That's Gweeber, my mama's little puppy.

- I can't-
- Miss Gilbert, this circus is over.

Why would I go to such lengths
if I didn't have just cause?

Far be it from me to attempt to make sense

of the machinations of your fevered brain.

Well, did you ever wonder, Mr. Krum,
when you were hiring this man,

why he was transferred three times
in the course of two years?

Isn't that odd
for such a qualified executive?

Oh, don't be too harsh, Henry.
Clearly, she needs professional help.

Perhaps you did inquire,
they told you there was a little problem

with some of the girls in the office?

But after all, what's more important?

A stray hand on a secretary's bottom
or the bottom line?

That's very imaginative.

Are you willing to go on record
as having ignored my complaint, sir?

You know, John,

- I think we'd better investigate this.
- Henry. Henry�

And I want both of you to report
to human resources

tomorrow morning, 8:30 a.m. sharp.

And if what you say is true, Miss Gilbert,

you have my deepest apologies.

You know,
there really aren't too many of us

in this corporate world here, Whitley.

We owe it to our people
to present a united front.

I don't owe it to anybody
to be somebody's concubine.

And I'll see you tomorrow morning.

And wear something sexy.

Fine. Let's just see
who they believe, okay?

You or me.

Great.

Did you not refer
to Mr. Holtworth as Sir Lancelot?

Yes, but-

Isn't it true

that you often referred
to your ex-paramour Dwayne as "Pookie"?

- Yes, but-
- What is a "pookie"?

If he was harassing you,
why did you continue to visit his office?

That was not�
I can explain, sir.

What perfume were you wearing?

- How did you get your job?
- How tight was your skirt?

What is a "pookie"?

You've got to believe me!
