Different strokes to move the world.

Philip!

Sophie! What a surprise!

It's so good to see you again, Sophie.

Sophie?

Don't you know your own sister's name?

What are you talking about?

Your name has always been Sophie.

Not anymore.

It's Sophia.

Since when? Since I've been living in Italy.

Well, now, the last I heard, you and your husband were living in Houston.

How is Tex?

I'm afraid he's gone.

Oh, no.

He passed away.

No, he ran away.

But he left me a beautiful oil well.

Not to mention a southern accent.

Anyway, I forgot all about... when I met Vittorio.

Who is Vittorio?

Philip, you're not paying attention.

Vittorio and I were married a year ago.

Oh, well, you're married again then. Well, congratulations.

You're too late. I'm divorced.

Wonderful to see you again.

Sit down.

It's been two years.

What are you going to do in New York?

Well, I decided to come home.

I guess I got a little homesick.

Oh, is it all right if I stay here until I find a place?

Matter of fact, our housekeeper's on vacation. You can use her room. Well,

thanks. I'm a new woman, Philip. I'm going to get a new start in life. You

I've always been sort of a health nut. Well, now I'm even more so.

I've been to a clinic in Switzerland. I've jogged in Yugoslavia. And I got

roughed in Romania.

Now you can get massaged in Manhattan.

Be careful what parlor you walk into.

Philip, I love your sense of humor.

Who cares whether it's funny or not?

Here's Kimberly.

I'm Sophie.

Oh, not Sophie, dear Sophia.

Oh, my,

let me look at you.

lovely young lady you've grown into.

These are my sons, Willis and Arnold. This is my sister, your aunt, Sophia.

You're just like your father wrote me.

You're black.

I guess good eyesight runs in the family.

And you're so handsome.

Thank you. What do you think of my brother?

Come here and give your aunt a big hug.

Aunt Sophia's going to be staying with us for a while, kids. Oh, great.

Are you all good students in school?

Yes, we are.

Arnold is running for president of his class.

Not the whole class, just room 104.

It's between me and five of the guys, and I don't think I have much of a

Well, if cuteness counts, you'll win by a landslide.

Aunt Sophia, you look fantastic. You've lost a lot of weight.

Well, you have to stay trim when you're in your 30s.

You've also lost a lot of years.

Let me see your teeth.

Say what?

Dad, I just met her. Do I have to show her my naked teeth?

Look, kids, your Aunt Sophia's a nut. A health nut.

But you listen to her because she's an authority on food.

Aunt Sophia, why do you want to see her teeth?

Because if they're rotten, so is the rest of you.

I couldn't have put it better myself.

Come on, kids. Open up.

Do you eat junk food?

Oh, not since they've been to the dentist.

Right, kids?

Right. I've given up soft drinks. I don't even chew gum anymore.

I gave up rhubarb pie.

You hate rhubarb pie.

Well, you gotta start somewhere.

Arnold, what have you given up?

I've given up answering these type of questions.

Daddy, he's terrible. He's a junk food junkie.

He's a human garbage disposal.

I'm shocked.

Arnold, don't you know you are what you eat?

You mean I'm a 49 -pound Twinkie?

Philip, how could you let this go on?

Arnold, the dentist did warn you about junk food.

What did you have for lunch today?

Well, a hot dog with sweet relish, sweet pickle,

potato chips, cream soda, high alamo, and for dessert, another hot

dog.

I think that's the mixture they use to kill gophers.

Arnold, I am aghast. Arnold, come here.

You promised to cut down on sweets.

I can't do it, Dad.

Once I get started, I can't stop.

All right, then. If you can't cut down, you're going to cut sweets out entirely.

What are you talking about, Dad?

No, I mean it.

It's for your own good, Arnold.

Yeah. You don't want to be the only kid in fifth grade who's nothing but gums.

Arnold, I want you to promise me something.

Stay out of candy stores and no more junk food for a while. Then we'll talk

about it. But in the meantime, you are going to quit.

Cold turkey.

Couldn't I quit sort of warm turkey?

I crave sweet.

I can't go without them. I'll get mean.

I'll get violent.

I feel it starting to happen already.

I think this is where he gets all hairy and grows a tail.

Yeah, and he starts howling at the moon.

I sympathize with you.

But being hooked on sweets is just as bad for you as being hooked on

I was hooked on them for years, but I gave them up.

Okay, Deb.

I'll try.

Jay really was that dude before he was a rapper.

Most of these guys who do rap, they're lying.

He wasn't lying.

Don't look at me like that.

My spirit's willing, but my mouth is weak.

Hey, Arnold.

Hey, Arnold.

So did you top it through the day without any junk food?

Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

I knew he can do it. Give me five.

Here you go, Kimberly.

Oh, thanks. I'll bring it back when I'm back. Sure.

Hey, Arnold, aren't you proud of yourself?

Mm -hmm.

Yeah, because we're proud of you, too. Mm -hmm.

You see, you'll have the best set of choppers in town.

And I owe it all to self -control.

Listen, I gotta go do my homework with Kimberly.

I didn't even do it. I'm proud of you, Arnold.

Kimberly told us that you haven't had one single piece of junk food today.

And we're proud as punch.

Which, incidentally, is very bad for you.

Too hard.

Arnold, what is that white stuff around your mouth?

Too close to the blackboard at school.

It's amazing.

That's the same chalk they put on powdered donuts.

Eh?

Oh, you learn something new every day.

Why don't you fib to us?

You promised me that you were going to try and avoid junk food and stay out of

candy stores.

Well, I kept half of it.

candy store. I bought it at the vending machine at school.

What?

I thought they were supposed to have taken all the vending machines out of

school. Well, why do they still have some at your school?

I don't know. I guess we're just lucky.

I mean, maybe they didn't get around to us yet. That is disgraceful.

Poisoning their little bodies with icky food.

Arnold, I'm going to try and get those junk food machines out of your school.

Wait a minute.

I won't get elected president of room 104.

Listen, Arnold, when your friends find out that what you're doing is for their

own good, they will like you more than ever.

But, Dad, you don't know some of these guys.

Up until now, I was losing my teeth slow.

If you take those machines out, I'm going to lose them fast.

And if on Friday you elect me president of room 104, I...

Oh, right, right.

I promise to have a longer lunch hour, a longer recess, and I'm working

on no more homework.

No more homework, Arnold?

Just seeing if you're paying attention.

Okay, that's it for today, children. And in spite of Arnold, do your homework.

What are you doing here?

Well, you and I are going to see the principal. We want to talk to him about

getting those junk food machines out of the school.

Here, and why does your father want to get the machines out?

Maybe they're due for their thousand -mile checkup.

You guys go ahead.

That's okay.

We'll wait.

Mr. Drummond, I'm afraid the principal is at the community school board

Is there something I can do for you?

Yes, you can tell him to call me.

I'm very upset about those snack machines.

They're ruining the kids' teeth. You know, I happen to agree with you, Mr.

Drummond, but with the cuts in our budget, the school relies on those

machines to help pay for extracurricular activities.

Well, it's not right to raise revenue at the expense of the children's health.

I'm determined to get those vending machines out of this school.

Well, it's not my fault that my dad doesn't want my teeth to be an

species.

Come on.

Yeah, who needs this nerve?

Let's go, Arnold. We're finished here.

You can say that again.

You're sitting on the couch, you're watching TV, and your life's passing you

You keep procrastinating over and over. Well, maybe I'll go to school next year,

by people who almost gave money.

Almost gave.

How good is almost giving?

About as good as almost work.

Every trend.

Every time.

Buckle up.

So you and your friends get home safely.

from the top of some place very high. Seatbelts save lives.

Okay. Visit NHTSA .gov. Low and slow.

Best friend, what are you going to do?

Brought to you by the U .S. Department of Transportation and the Ad Council.

That is spectacular advice. 2009 for information.

Hi, honey. How was school today?

Rot.

Crummy.

Miserable.

Well, Cheer up. Maybe tomorrow will only be rotten.

Since Dad was dead, they're calling him a fink and me son of a fink.

When you know you're right, never bow to group pressure.

I don't want to bow to it. I want to join it.

Hi, everybody.

Has the school principal called me yet?

Not yet.

Boy, I hope he isn't ducking me.

Well, if he'd have called, I would have known it because I was home all alone,

and I would have heard the phone because I wasn't busy talking to anybody but

myself.

And if the phone had rung, I would have answered it because I could wait till

later to hear what I had to say.

Dad, since you were there at school, I'm in big trouble.

Can't you change your mind about those vending machines?

Sorry, Arnold.

and I'd like to transfer.

How about busking me to a school in Australia?

Hey, Dad. Hey, Arnold.

Hey, Arnold. Hey, Dad.

Hey, what are the boxes for?

Oh, Aunt Sophia's made converts out of all of us, so we're helping her check

the labels and throw out all the junk food in the house. Well, good.

What are you going to do with it? Well, we can't give it to the poor. They got

enough troubles.

You know what we can do with this junk? We can put it in a lead barrel and sink

it to the bottom of the Hudson River.

and send it to Iran.

Aunt Sophia, you ruined my eating at home. Now you ruined my eating at

If all I eat is healthy food, you're going to deprive me of my pimple period.

Arnold, eat that stuff and you won't get pimples. You'll get rigor mortis.

Thanks to you, Sophia. I did a little research on food myself today.

Wait until all of you hear what I discovered.

Oh, it's a...

Calling what they do.

They put so much preservatives in food that dead people last longer than people

who aren't dead.

Is that a way to live?

Hey, Arnold, you like this goop on your dessert, huh?

The goopier, the better.

Well, here's a poop on your goop.

Just add a little water to it, and you can use it to wax our limousine.

Yeah, it's also good for removing nail polish.

Hey, just listen to this.

Some candies are loaded with chemicals, including a shellac to give them a

glaze.

Arnold, I'll make a deal with you. If you give up junk food, I'll give up

caviar. What do you say, son?

Okay,

I'm giving up junk food, and I mean it. All right.

I don't care if my best friends don't talk to me anymore.

I don't care if they don't elect me president tomorrow.

I'm going to school for an education.

I don't have to be happy, too.

Okay.

Hello?

Yes, this is he.

Good. Put him on.

School principal.

Yes, hello.

Yeah.

Well, I thank Miss Rawls for explaining my feelings, but what are you going to

do about the...

Vending machines.

Well, I'd be sorry to hear that the school was losing money, but I am not

to stand by and let anybody endanger the health of children just to make a

profit. I love the way his eyes flash when he's angry.

Well, your hands may be tied, sir, but mine are not.

So you just tell me the name of the company that owns those vending

and I'll take it from there.

What?

You sure?

Thanks.

What's the matter?

Those vending machines are owned by a subsidiary of my own company.

Daddy, your own company is selling all that junk in school?

We shall lack... For

shame,

Philip. If Papa were alive, he'd roll over in his grave.

Children, before we begin today, Arnold Jackson has asked permission to address

you about the vending machines.

Arnold?

That's enough.

Go ahead, Arnold.

Well, last night I found out that my dad's company owns all the junk food

machines.

school to lose any money so he's not taking the machines out.

Thanks, but there's not going to be any junk food in those machines.

Quiet. Go on, Arnold.

Well, my dad's going to put in new refrigerated machines that'll have

things in them like apples and oranges so you don't lose your teeth and look

like this.

off talking like an old geezer, even though you're only a young geezer.

Well, that's all I have to say.

I don't care if you elect me president of room 104 today.

There's some things more important than power.

Son, the important thing is that you believed in something and you stuck to

guns.

A lot of good that did.

I was defeated in the election 34 to 1.

My friends didn't vote for me.

For a minute there, I wasn't sure I was going to vote for me.

Honey, you'll feel much better after you eat.

Yeah, what is for dinner?

Oh, I've made a delicious, healthy meal. Fish and salad, organic goose liver

pate, and acidopolis soup.

What's for dessert?

figs with sprouted wheat balls.

Oh, you devil.

You were pulling my funny bone.

Wherever that is.

You know, come here, Sophia.

You're a real nice lady.

Thank you, Arnold.

I like a boy who tells the truth.

acidopolis soup now. It's really good.

May not be right song, but man is born.

He's a man of being. Then along come two.

They got nothing but the gene.

But they got different strokes.

They different strokes.

piece of junk.

I'd rather have my truck any day.

Hey, have you seen my keys, man? You know, I thought I left them in my jacket

yesterday. Oh, you're exactly right. That's where I found them.

How many times have I told you to keep your greasy fingers out of my room?

Calm down, McGruff.

I needed your keys so that I could install this new alarm I got off this

tell you. The car was stripped butt naked.

But it had this top -of -the -line alarm system in it. Yeah, well, that's one

effective alarm.

Try it out.

It's got a police siren, and it speaks in six different languages.

Well, how do I know it's not going to blow up?

Try it out.

No, Eddie, I'm not going to try it. You try it.

You put it in

I drained your battery.

See, if you're trying to upset me, give it up. I'm in too good a mood, baby.

Well, since you're immune to anger, I accidentally busted your water pump

the alarm out.

Nope, that won't do it either.

You see, Eddie, you were looking at a man who got his first on -air gig.

All right, then. What's he, the play -by -play man?

Which team, Royals, Chiefs?

I'm not the play -by -play man.

You're the locker room guy.

I'm Marcus Allen. I ran three touchdowns.

Come on, biggie thing, hit me, hit me. No, no, no, Eddie, I'm a DJ.

See, but I got the midnight to six shift.

I mean, that's cool, that's cool.

At least you don't have to do those menial jobs they had you doing.

Well, actually, I'll still be doing the menial jobs. See, the DJ gig is only

temporary. Well, I mean, you know I meant menial in the best way, right?

See, but the good news is the guy who does play -by -play for Houston started

out the same way.

Boy, you're going to be busy.

I will be busy counting money, yes.

See, between the on -air gig and the overtime, I'll be making three times the

money. You the man.

Damn straight.

What you need, though, is a radio name.

Thank you, Edward, but I have a radio name.

Malcolm McGee.

No, no, no, it don't pop.

You need something flashy like Dr.

Love.

Or how about The Groove Merchant. Better than that, Doc.

Those are really good, Eddie.

In fact, why don't you just sit here real quietly and make out a

list?

All right, I got a list for you.

Freak of the Week.
