Now the world don't move to the beat of just one drum. What might be right for

you may not be right for some. A man is born. He's a man of means.

Then along come two.

They got nothing but the genes. But they got different strokes and takes.

Different strokes and takes.

Different strokes to move the world.

Everybody's got a special kind of story.

Everybody finds a way to shine.

It don't matter that you got not a lot. So what? You'll have theirs and you'll

have yours and I'll have mine.

And together we'll be fine. Different strokes to move the world. Different

strokes to move the world.

I'm sorry, but I don't know who any of you people are.

Phil, you're probably just a little fuzzy from the blow to your head.

Who are you?

I'm your doctor, your friend, Ted Benson.

And this is your housekeeper, Adelaide.

And this is your daughter, Kimberly. And your sons, Arnold and Willis.

You're my daughter?

Sure, of course, Daddy.

You're my son?

That's right.

We sure are.

What color is my wife?

Daddy, Mom died a long time ago. And then you adopted Willis and Arnold.

Why?

to be your housekeeper. And when she died, you promised to take care of us.

And we've been living in luxury ever since.

Sounds like I'm rich.

Loaded.

Daddy, why can't you remember us?

I don't know.

Can you explain that, Phil?

I'm Ted, you're Phil.

He doesn't know who he is.

Maybe we ought to throw a name tag to his underwear.

My head.

I think you'd better rest now, Phil.

You just have to get your strength back.

Take it easy, Dad. Yeah, you'll be okay. You're going to be fine, Mr. Drummond.

Drummond?

Is that my name, Phil Drummond?

I don't like it.

We're going to open up to your presents as soon as you get home, okay, Daddy?

Presents? What presents?

Yesterday was your birthday.

How old was I? You were 50.

50?

Sorry I asked.

I don't believe this.

I'm a total blank.

Well, you rest now, Phil.

It'll all come back.

Bye, Dad.

Bye.

I can't believe it.

Imagine Dad not remembering me.

Or me and Arnold.

Especially me.

rod Word is you refiled your taxes and got an even bigger refund.

Word travels fast, huh?

You refiled your taxes? How?

Big brain. So what'd you put down for Schedule C?

What about the alternative minimum tax?

I don't want to get too technical.

Pretty complicated.

You know what? I am really busy right now.

Hey. Okay, Roger.

What's your secret?

I got people.

People? Yeah, they took a second look at my taxes, found a whole bunch of money

my old guy missed. No kidding.

Yeah, they made sure I didn't miss anything.

My people found, like, $1 ,300 more. $1 ,300?

This is you after an energy drink.

Unfortunately, so is this.

Why do energy drinks make you crash?

One minute you're wired up. The next, you feel worse than before.

The answer is large amounts of sugar and caffeine.

That's why you should try a new liquid energy shot called 5 -Hour Energy.

With 5 -Hour Energy, you can leave grogginess behind and fill through your

without feeling jittery, tense, or, you know.

That's because 5 -Hour Energy contains a powerful blend of B vitamins for energy

and amino acids for focus, alertness, and better mood.

There is zero sugar, about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee, and only

calories. The two -ounce shot takes just seconds to drink, and in minutes you're

feeling bright, awake, and productive. And that feeling lasts for hours.

So if your energy drink makes you crash, switch to 5 -Hour Energy.

Hours of energy now, no crash later.

Find out if 5 -Hour Energy is right for you. It's available at these fine

stores. Or for more information, go to 5hourenergy .com.

It's wonderful to have you back, Mr. Drummond. Yeah.

I can't believe it's been two whole weeks.

I will still be back home, Dad.

Boy, this is some place.

Are you sure I can really afford all this?

I told you, Phil. You're the head of a big company.

Well, I hope it's a legitimate business.

Oh, it certainly is.

I'm sorry, but I can't remember any of this.

Oh, but now that you're home, Dad, you're going to get your memory back

fast. Yeah, you'll see.

But it's okay if you don't remember everything.

Like that I'm overdrawn on my allowance.

How much allowance do I give each of you?

A hundred dollars a week.

Listen, it's bad enough I have amnesia. Don't give me a heart attack, too.

You know something, Dad?

You're funnier with amnesia than you were without it.

Why don't you take a minute to look at all the furniture and things in the

Maybe that'll help you start to remember.

Okay.

The sofa.

Do you remember it?

No, but wouldn't it look better over there?

Oh, boy, I'm afraid this isn't going to be easy. I'm sorry this is so hard on

all of you.

I just can't remember.

Don't worry, Phil. It'll come back.

Yeah. Dad, where do you see the upstairs?

In your own room.

Why don't you go on up and try on all your clothes?

You got two full closets of real mean threads.

Mean threads? What is that?

That's the same as bad rags.

Bad rags?

Dad, that's just jive talk for clothes.

Dad, don't take me wrong, but... Before you met us, you were pretty square.

I'll tell you what, son. You can give me lessons in jive talk.

Oh, dear God. I hope I don't have to go through the rest of my life this way.

I better sit down. I'm still a little weak.

Ah, you'll get back in shape, Dad.

You're a great athlete.

I am? Sure. You play squash and tennis and swim and jog for miles.

Well, if I'm so rich, why didn't I hire somebody to do it for me?

One thing you haven't lost is your sense of humor.

It wasn't that funny.

Oh.

Well, I'll go make some coffee.

I'll get it.

Hello there. Hello, Mr. Conley.

Hello, kids.

Good to see you back home, Phil. I phoned the hospital, but they said you

just released.

I'm sorry, but I don't know who you are. You see... Oh, come on, Phil. I know

we've had our differences, but there's no reason to take this attitude.

I came by personally to tell you that the board meeting is rescheduled for

Wednesday.

Board meeting?

The one that was canceled because of your accident.

Oh, I guess you don't know, but I'm experiencing a temporary loss of memory.

Loss of memory?

I didn't realize it was this serious.

Well, he'll get over it. Yeah, it's not that serious.

Yeah, Dad won't find his memory as soon as he remembers where he lost it. Right,

Dad?

Right, Willis.

I'm Arnold.

Oh, yeah. You're Willis.

Right. You see, our dad's getting his memory back already.

You actually don't remember your own son?

Don.

I think it would be best to postpone that meeting until Phil is better.

How long will that be?

Well, we really don't know for sure. The doctor can't give us a definitive

answer. Well, Dad may not know who he is, but we all do.

Right, he's our dad.

Yeah, the one who loves us and takes care of us, right, Dad?

Uh, right.

Phil, we've got a company to run, and there is that important vote coming up

that construction deal.

Well, obviously, I can't hold a meeting in this condition, even if I am the head

of some company.

Then maybe we'll have to do something about that, Phil.

I'll be in touch.

Oh, by the way, I do hope you feel better.

I don't think I need a memory to know that that man doesn't like me very much.

That's right, Phil.

Particularly on that foreign deal.

You turned that deal down once before because it entailed a bribe.

Well, it's a relief to know I'm an honest businessman.

Yeah. It's a wonder you ever made any money.

Gosh, I'm honest. I'm a good athlete. My family loves me. I must be a great guy.

I can't wait to get to know myself better.

Phil, this could be more serious than you think.

Now, Connelly would just love to take over your company and throw you out.

And he could take advantage of your condition.

Uh -oh.

Goodbye, penthouse. Hello, poorhouse.

Would that wipe me out?

No, you'd still have your shares of stock.

But you'd lose everything you've worked so hard for all these years.

Isn't there anything I can do to stop it?

Just one thing.

Regain your memory.

Did you do your taxes yet?

Nope. We've got to get them done.

It's like the... Wait.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Fortunately, there's the federal free edition at TurboTax .com. Oh, this bad

is big, man. You like this, right? This is bigger than my apartment.

Well, that was a delicious dinner, Adelaide. Thank you. It sure was.

I see you ate all your Brussels sprouts, Mr. Drummond.

Well, why wouldn't I eat them?

Because you hate them.

Then why did you serve them to me?

Well, I was hoping you'd remember that you hated them.

Nice try, Adelaide. Thank you.

I want to thank all of you for trying so hard.

You were such terrific kids. There isn't anything in the world I want more than

to be your father again.

Oh, same goes for us, Dad.

We are so glad to have you home, and don't worry about it. You're not going

lose your business.

Well, I've been home for two days now, and nothing's coming back. I'm really

starting to get discouraged.

Well, you don't worry, Dad.

We'll think of something that'll help you.

We sure will.

I'll get it.

Thank you.

Hello, Kimberly.

Hi, Mr. Bishop.

Tom. Oh, Phil, I'm sorry to bother you at dinner, but this is urgent.

Well, we're just finished. What is it?

Well, just what I've been afraid of.

Conley is up to something really rotten.

He's threatening to file a petition to prove your non -compass menace.

Non -compass what, sir?

Well, that's a mental disorder where the mind becomes disoriented.

You mean you're nuts?

That, too.

Why would Mr. Connolly want to do that to Dad, Mr. Bishop?

Well, his first step in taking over the company is to get your dad off the

board. Well, can he do that?

Yes, I'm afraid so.

Phil, if Connolly can have you declared mentally incompetent...

You can be involuntarily held for 72 hours for tests.

Now, depending on the results, the court could appoint a conservator to watch

over your affairs.

What does all that mean?

It means Dad won't have any say about his business anymore.

That's a dirty trick.

That Conley guy is a snake in jockey shorts.

You know something, Tom?

Maybe this whole thing is too much for me to fight. Maybe we should just let

take the company. I can't run it anyway like this.

No, Daddy, you've got to hang in there. Remember, every cloud has a silver

lining. And it's always dark before the dawn.

And don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes.

Say what?

It's the only quote I could think of.

Well, kids, thanks for the encouragement, but there's just no point

to hold on to the company any longer.

Phil, I'm afraid losing your company isn't the worst part of this.

What do you mean?

Well, if Conley can have you declared incompetent, it's possible you could

custody of your children. Can they do that, really?

Phil, I'm afraid that in your will there is no

provision made for taking care of your children should you be seriously

incapacitated. They could become wards of the court.

Oh, no, Daddy, you can't let them do that.

Look, Tom, why can't we just change my will to take care of that?

It's catch -22.

You can't legally change it while you're in this condition.

Really? What are you going to do, Dad? Dad, what's going to happen to us?

We're going to go. You've got to fight it. Quiet, everybody. I can't think. I'm

getting a headache.

Please.

I need time to be alone.

I've got to think this thing through.

It's okay, Daddy. We understand.

Come on, guys. Let's go.

Yeah. You work it out.

Take all the time you need, Dad.

If you need us, we'll be in our rooms.

I'm sorry I had to tell you this, Phil.

If you need me, you know where to reach me.

Now, as a matter of fact, I don't.

Oh, yes.

Uh, well, my number's in this index.

You know, B for Bishop.

Hello? Is this Don Connolly?

This is Philip Drummond.

It's urgent that I talk to you.

Could you come right over here?

Well, then, could you come over here after the theater?

Well, I've decided to resign from the company.

I'll even sign a paper to that effect if you'll agree to withdraw your effort to

have me declared mentally incompetent.

Yes, I mean it.

Fine.

I'll see you here around 11.

You know something, Wallace?

I think I know a way to jar Dad's memory back.

I'll put Abraham in his bathtub.

Uh -oh.

How's that going to jar Dad's memory?

When a naked man jumps six feet in the air, it's going to jar something.

Listen, Arnold, we got to talk.

I think the best thing for us to do is get out of here.

Okay, maybe a movie will cheer us up.

Well, I mean, go live with our friends and go back to Harlem.

Well, I think your compass is getting a little non -mentus, too.

It's a fact, Arnold.

I mean, he doesn't remember us. We're making him yell at us, and we're getting

on his nerves.

Well, we used to do that when he knew who we were.

No, Arnold, it's just not the same anymore.

We got to get out of here while the getting's good.

No, Willis, we love Dad, and we have to give him a chance.

Mind interrupting, fellas?

Oh, no, come right in, Dad.

Well, I just want to apologize for yelling.

I don't know what got into me.

That's okay.

You know, sure, yelling's good for you.

It gets all the pollution out of your throat and into the air where it

It's just that I've been trying so hard to remember, and it's got me very

frustrated.

Hey, Daddy, I've got a great idea. Why don't you take a look at our old family

album, and you know that might help you to remember.

That is a good idea.

Let's try that.

That's me when I was just a little baby.

You were just darling. Yeah, she was cute.

Your cheeks were as big as mine.

part, Daddy. Do you remember that?

No, I'm afraid not.

Who is this pretty lady in the flower garden?

Daddy, that's Mother.

You don't remember your own wife?

No.

Oh, Daddy.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

Don't cry, Pumpkin.

Pumpkin? Dad, you called me Pumpkin.

That's what you used to call me when I was just a little girl.

I did?

Hey, he's starting to remember.

Show him some more pictures. Quick, look.

Daddy, look. Do you remember this day at the beach?

I think I do.

Did you bury me in the sand?

Right up to your neck.

And I got a terrible sunburn.

Of all the things you had to remember.

Thank God something is starting to come back.

Hey, Dad.

Remember this when you took us to your company picnic?

No, I don't.

That's you and me in the potato sack race.

Where are you?

Hey,

Dad. There's us in the pie -eating contest.

I don't remember that either. Are you sure?

I mean, they had to take you to the doctor.

What for?

To get the blueberries removed from your nose.

I'm sorry, fellas. That just doesn't come back to me.

But it's wonderful at least that I remembered something about Kimberly.

Come on, Daddy. Let's go and tell Adelaide. She'll be so happy.

Okay, pumpkin.

Dad can remember Kimberly and not us.

I was wondering the same thing.

I guess deep down inside he doesn't want to remember us, Arnold.

I guess you're right.

I guess we should go back to Harlem where we belong.

Yeah.

We're riding with Noah tonight and flip out when everybody's asleep.

I guess we can stay with Vernon.

Boy, Willis, when we came from Harlem to Park Avenue, nobody told us it would be

a round -trip ticket.

Where do you think you're going?

What are you doing with those suitcases?

Oh, it's a good thing you woke us up. We must have been sleepwalking.

I don't think you expect me to believe that.

Look, guys, I know it's kind of rough around here for you with the way things

are, but running away won't solve anything.

Well, I think it will.

I mean, we don't want no judge telling us where we have to live.

We want to live with our friends.

You're going to live right here.

I'm waiting for Mr. Connolly now. Now, I told him that if he'll agree to

withdraw his effort to have me declared incompetent, I will resign from the

company and everything will be okay.

No, it won't, Dad.

Not as long as you don't remember me and Willis.

Well, I'm remembering more things every day.

One day I will remember you.

Yeah, one day.

When will that be?

By then you'll be coming up to our room to kiss two bearded old men goodnight.

I'm sorry, Dad, but I'm... My mind's made up. We're going. You're not going

anywhere. Go up to your room. No, we're going. Don't you talk back to me,

Willis. I'm still your father. Now pick up those suitcases and get up to your

room. Well, you don't have to yell at us, Dad. It's my house. I can yell as

as I want. Now get upstairs.

Hey, what's all the yelling about down here? You woke me up.

Is something the matter, Mr. Drummond?

I'll say there is. My two boys have forgotten that I'm their father, and if

don't get the message soon, they're going to be grounded for two weeks.

Two weeks?

You never grounded us for two weeks.

Oh, yes. Yeah, I did. The very last time you both tried to run away.

Dad, how did you know we tried to run away before?

Well, how could I forget? It was the very day you came to live with me.

And I... Dad!

You remember us?

It was... Hey, wait.

Wait.

It's... I'm... Just give me a minute now.

Disney World, right? Right. And I was on my way to the travel agent to get the

tickets, right? Yeah.

Oh, that's probably Don Conway. I asked him to come over.

I'll get it. Nope.

This one's on me.

Good evening, Phil.

Good evening, Don.

I've got your letter of resignation right here.

that might seem vindictive as if I was taking advantage of my position.

Yeah, I'm going to fire him.

And when the doctor says it's okay, I'm still going to take all of you to

Florida. I can't tell you how great it is to be able to remember again.

But there's still one thing you forgot, though, Dad.

There is? Yeah.

They're just one drum. What might be right for you?

May not be right for some. For many boys, he's a better beat than a long

come to.

They got nothing but the gene.

But they got different strokes.

They got different strokes.

is unbreathable.

Oh, I just came from the men's room.

See, that's what I get. I made a New Year's resolution not to make small talk

with you.

I broke it, and now I'm paying the price.

We are screwed.

We're going to have to open the club tonight with no heat.

Why? What did Hawkins say?

Nothing. He wouldn't even return my phone call. Man, that's typical.

You know, Hawkins is a straight -up -down slumlord.

This is just standard operating procedure for Hawkins.

You know, he would do anything to make our lives miserable.

That's right. You know, Hawkins is a low -down, dirty, dusty old dog.

What's wrong, Nicolette?

T .R. Hawkins just dropped dead of a heart attack.

I'm gonna miss him.

No, he was like a father to me.

Isn't it quite funny?

They're just going to leave you alone while you sit inside your home.

650 people.

Man, they just wanted to make sure he was really dead.

Malcolm, I haven't had the chance to thank you for the support you've given

the past two weeks.

Hey, don't mention it, Ashley.

Your father was a very important part of our lives.

And if you need anything, you just call.

Thank you.

You still want it, don't you?

And why are you staring at her?

I was just admiring the cut of her suit.

Hello, everybody.

Take your seat, and we'll get started.

Garth Dubin?

You're Hawkins' attorney?

I'm sorry, have we met?

Yeah, we were your clients. You defended us in a lawsuit.

Yeah, my cousin Dexter sued us.

Well, don't blame me for the outcome. I did my best.

Actually, we won. Of course we did.

But we heard you got fired from the insurance company.

Well, I sued them for age discrimination.

One above the other.

Moved to Florida and became a circus clown.

You know, it wasn't the happy -go -lucky life I'd always dreamed of.

By the way, did you know that the new clown is always the one who gets shot

of the cannon?

No.

No, neither did I.

Anyway, I moved back here and returned to the bar.

Then after rehab, I went back into law.
