Here's a special treat for you, Nikki.

On the house.

Woody, how come my mama's been getting special treatment for the past week?

Look, Kim, Thanksgiving's coming up, and I know which side my cornbread is

buttered on.

How would you like to come over for Thanksgiving dinner?

Is Thanksgiving this week?

Sure, thanks.

You know I can't wait to get my eat on.

Yeah, Nikki, I'll be there bright and early, too.

Tired of eating my mama's pig feet casserole.

Just a thought of it.

Excuse me, y 'all.

Yeah.

Well, my parents are away.

Again. So you can definitely count me in.

Hi, Professor Oglebay.

Hey, Miss Parker.

How would you like to come to my place for Thanksgiving dinner?

Well, I'd love to, but I can't. I'm having guests over.

Are you sure?

There'll be a big juicy butterball turkey.

That does sound good.

Homemade cranberry sauce.

I do love cranberry sauce.

Then you'll have a seat right next to me. Well, enjoy your meal.

application to be the newest member of Destiny's Child.

Well, if you were in the group, they'd be Destiny's mama.

I thought you were here to help.

I am, you're right.

Go easy on the nutmeg, add a little more cinnamon, and girl, don't forget to

glaze your hand.

Out.

See, I tried to help, and you're ungrateful.

I'm gonna go watch the Twilight Zone marathon.

Hey, Kim, help me out with this.

to be helping you out. She is helping me out by staying out of my kitchen.

Now, add these onions to the dressing and mix it all up for me. You know I

onions. Can't we leave them out this one time?

No, because everyone loves my stuffing just the way I make it.

But I never get to eat my favorite Thanksgiving food because of those nasty

onions. Kim, you can just pick the onions out.

If you don't put them in, I won't have to take them out.

I don't know why you're making such a big deal about it. Now, stop being a

and just add the onions.

Why do you always have to do things your way?

Because I'm the mama and you're the pudding.

Well, maybe I need to go someplace where they make it my way. I am free.

Well, maybe you should, since the food I'm making isn't good enough for you.

Okay.

Then I'm out.

Suit yourself.

But dinner will be ready at 3 o 'clock.

I won't be here. I'm eating someplace else.

I went with that attitude. You sure will be.

Turkey papa doesn't get any better than this.

Our family here at KMSL would like to wish you and your family a loving and

happy Thanksgiving.

Hey, Ma.

A happy Thanksgiving to you, too.

You gotta go.

But... Well, I love...

You too.

Hey, man. What's up?

Hot date?

On Thanksgiving?

She got a sister?

Third cousin?

Happy Turkey Day to you too.

Hi, you've reached Rick and Veronica.

The newlyweds.

Sorry we're not here, but we're having a fabulous Thanksgiving in Hawaii.

We'll call you when we get back.

Stop, Rick.

Because I'm cute.

Hey, happy Thanksgiving.

Oh, T, that's so sweet, but you didn't have to bring anything.

Oh, I didn't. It's my doggie bag.

Here you go, Nikki.

Thanks, Stevie.

Sure. I figured it would look much nicer than your plastic fruit.

Watch it, Stevie. That plastic fruit could be your dinner.

dinner treat.

Cigars. Well, there's no one else wants cigars but you.

Good, because there's only one left.

Where's Kim?

She and Nikki got into it earlier. Kim lost her mind.

Really? What hospital is she in?

Well, I hope she gets back in time for dinner. Oh, don't worry. She's not

foolish enough to miss Thanksgiving with her friends and family.

I know that's right, because everyone she knows is here.

Yeah, that's too bad.

Oh, well, more for us.

You waiting for someone?

No, it's just me.

I thought I had it bad having to work today. Poor thing, where's your family?

Home. Then why are you here?

What is this, a talk show?

Look, it's not my fault you're all alone on Thanksgiving.

It's not my fault you have to wear that uniform.

How can I order, please?

Sorry, we have a set menu today.

Oh, you can eat Thanksgiving buffet.

Are there any onions in the stuffing? Onions in the stuffing?

That's gross.

Ooh, I love this place.

This place?

You are really sad.

The buffet's $19 .99, tax included.

No problem.

Plus a generous tip for someone who is serving you instead of her loved ones.

Okay.

$19 .99, huh? Mm -hmm.

Um, what can I get for 55 cents?

You can get up and leave.

Hey, baby.

Looking for a date?

Maybe if you want to drop a side, I would.

You scrub.

Get you then.

Forget you.

fresh, homemade cornbread, I smell.

Why, yes, it is. Would you like to come in and have some? Yeah, no, no, no. I

just came by to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Well,

what happened to your dinner guests? Oh, those silly friends of mine.

Planky -jankies.

Are you sure you don't want to come in? No, no, no, that's okay.

Okay, well, happy Thanksgiving.

Yeah, well, no, no, no. If you insist.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be rude.

Well, now my whole...

Except for my pudding.

Oh, you know, Kim, she'll be back.

I guess you're right.

Yeah, now that that's settled, can we eat?

Oh, turkey's not done yet. Yeah, how about the yams? I'm still in the oven.

String beans?

Collard greens?

Peas? Rice?

Something.

Professor, you act like you're hungry.

I'd rather act like I'm eating.

The dinner's almost ready, and we're having a good time.

It's probably not the same without me, huh?

No, it's not.

So did you call to apologize?

Apologize? I didn't do anything wrong.

Then why did you call? To let you know I'm having a good time.

Oh, so you mean to tell me you're having a happy Thanksgiving.

Oh, yeah.

You know how I do it. Oh, okay.

I even went to a place where they serve a delicious Thanksgiving.

what he's calling me.

on the streets, too.

No, you don't understand.

Me and my mama, we live on the other side of the freeway.

Oh, then we neighbors. I live right underneath the freeway.

No, no, no, no. I'm not homeless.

Me and my mama, we just got into a little argument.

So that's why you was out here begging?

Oh, I wasn't begging. See, I needed some change. I left my wallet and then my

other purse.

Oh, right, right.

And I left my house in another neighborhood.

As a matter of fact, I've got two of them. Oh? My dad owns a mansion in

Park, and I'd be there right now if he weren't out of town.

Oh, right.

And Jennifer Lopez can really sing.

Child, why are you sitting on some bench, dirty and hungry, if you got two

houses to go to?

I'm teaching my mama a lesson.

I'm giving her some time to realize that onions have no place in stuffing.

Mama must be a horrible woman.

Don't talk about my mama.

She's a great mama.

And we love each other very much.

Well, if that was true, then why would you be fighting on a day you should be

thankful for everything you got?

You're right, Wilma.

How would you like to come over my house for Thanksgiving dinner?

Dinner?

I'm going to have to get dressed up, okay?

There. All done.

Hold on, let me get my limo.

Oh,

no, no, no, I'll walk. I don't want the neighbors to think I'm showing off.

Come on. I can start. I got one for you. That's okay.

how to play so well? My Uncle Tom. What'd you call me?

I'm just playing with you.

All right.

Anybody ready to eat? Me.

Anybody else?

Woo, that looks good.

Oh, sweetheart.

Come on in, Del. Okay.

Let's all bow our heads.

Before we begin, I just want to say that I miss my baby.

But she should be in and out.

What are you doing?

I can't believe what happened to those poor people at the homeless shelter.

At least they get to eat.

No, they don't listen.

We need to do something to help them out.

We'll pray for them. Lord, help them. Amen.

Now, can we eat?

You know what? I have an idea.

Why don't we gather up this food and take it down to the shelter?

Why? Because it's the right thing to do. Yeah, we can use my doggy bag.

Hey, look, I'll go bring my truck around.

Why did you bring that thing?

Because I couldn't find a quarter for the meter.

Why are you knocking on your own door?

Oh, I forgot my key.

Mama!

Mama!

Let me try.

Mama!

visions of grandeur.

I'm going to take you someplace where you don't have to pretend.

Where we can get a good hearty meal and I can tell you all about the time that

Oprah had me over for Krispy Kremes and coffee.

People were kind enough to bring you what they had from home.

Did make me a plate, right?

You know, when you look around you and you see how many people are in need, it

makes you really grateful for what you have.

Yeah, and there are all kinds of people in need.

Yeah, and people my age. That girl over there.

You mean the one that looks like Kim?

Yeah, she sure does.

Wait a minute, that is Kim.

What is Kim doing here? Probably trying to get some dinner.

You trying to get a meal, too?

No, I'm down here helping out.

See, I told you I wasn't homeless.

Homeless?

This is my pudding.

I've always provided a roof overhead and food on the table.

And you left all that love today.

And they call me crazy.

Grandma, I appreciate you looking out for me. Oh, sure, no problem.

And remember, if you're ever on the streets again, look me up.

Why don't you go help yourself to a scoop of dressing? I'm sorry there isn't

more. Oh, no, that's all right.

I'm still stuffed from Easter.

Angel!

I'm sorry, Mama.

I guess I blew things out of proportion.

I appreciate the special meal that you make for me each year.

Thank you.

You're welcome, baby.

And I'm sorry, too.

I should have considered how strongly you felt about those onions.

But I tell you what, from now on, there'll be two dishes of stuffing on

Thanksgiving table.

That would be nice.

Anything for my pudding.

Mama, is that your cornbread onion stuffing over there?

Yeah, but you... Hi,

we're from the restaurant Rain.

We saw the report on the news and brought Clue down here to help out.

I'd just like to say that I've learned that Thanksgiving isn't all about food.

Speak for yourself.

It's a time for caring. And sharing.

And giving thanks.

And getting your grub on.

It's a time to grow closer to the ones you love.

So from our family... To all of yours.

That traffic group could be. Now what?

We're having a fabulous Thanksgiving in Hawaii.

We'll call you when we get back.

Stop, Rick.
