They got nothing but the genes, but they got different strokes a day. Different

strokes a day.

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? I'll have theirs and you'll

have yours and I'll have mine.

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

Different strokes to move the world.

Hello?

Yeah. Okay.

Oh, here she is. Right. It's for you, Kimberly. Thanks.

Hello? Oh, hi, Becky.

Yeah, I was just leaving.

What? You're kidding!

You mean he really is?

We're actually going to get to meet him?

Oh, wow. I'll see you later. Bye -bye.

Well, what's all the excitement?

He's coming to our class!

Kuznetsov! Get him in tight.

Well, a Kuznetsov is nothing to sneeze at.

He's a world -famous ballet choreographer, and he was a great

And he's going to be in our class today.

So what?

What?

Willis, outside of Balanchine and maybe Baryshnikov, well, he's only the most

important man in the world of ballet.

He was fantastic in his prime. I saw him once in London.

You won't believe this. He did a leap that was so high, he had to get an air

traffic controller to bring him down.

He cares about a guy who runs around in his pantyhose.

Yeah, what's the big deal anyway?

I mean, it's not like who's next off of someone really important like Sugar Ray

Leonard.

How can you even mention them in the same breath?

Willis, you're so immature.

Immature? I shaved twice last week.

We know.

Once for each hair.

his son is culturally an ignoramus.

Honey, just because Willis doesn't like ballet doesn't mean that he's dumb.

That's right. He was dumb before he hated ballet.

What's going on, everybody? This is Neo, a .k .a. The Gentleman. And check out

my brand new video posted every hour on the hour.

Today, right here, be...

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

or maybe next semester. No, do it right now. They'll work with you after work or

you can go before work. You can do whatever you need to do to graduate. Go

to somebody right now. They out to help you. You spend all day on the phone

anyhow. Why don't you make a phone call that's going to help you in your future?

All you got to do is pick up the phone and make the call.

Why are you making it complicated?

It's easy.

What did you do?

It's what he didn't do.

Safe driving bonus. Every six months of safe driving can get you money off your

renewal bill. And now Allstate will send you a check. So you have a little extra

cash to do whatever.

You deserve more from your insurance.

That's Allstate's stand.

Are you in good hands?

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 up your day

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's zero sugar.

About as much caffeine as a cup of coffee and only four 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.

That is it for the bar.

I'm sorry I'm late, Madam. We got caught in traffic.

Hi, Becky.

I'm so excited I can't stand it. Is he here yet? Not yet.

I think I'm going to die when I meet him. Me too.

Please, if you must die, die like swans.

I thought it was funny.

Children,

the great Kuznetsov is our guest. We will not ask him a thousand questions.

We will just dance for him.

Jasper Kuznetsov? Uh -huh. He'll laugh at us. No, he will not laugh at you. He

might sneer a little. But for me, Russian, that is a compliment.

Let us go back to work.

Alfred, I bet it's his.

He must be on his way up.

Here come the great man himself.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Tell me what I did and I'll do it again.

It's just my brother, Madame Rakova.

Let us go back to work.

What are you doing here, Arnold? You left these in the limo. Oh, thanks.

Goodbye.

Man, look at the size of that mirror.

Willis would love that.

Uh, Arnold, I said goodbye. That means split, get lost, out the door.

I get the feeling you want me to leave.

Go with your feelings, Arnold.

I can take a hint. I'll just get my little tutu out of here.

It is so good to see you again.

I knew you looked marvelous. Of course I do.

Come, come.

My students have been dying to meet you. Oh, and I trust they have been dying

like swans.

I tell that swan joke, I get silence, you tell it, they laugh. Of course, I am

very funny man.

Let us go back to work.

Well, young man, why are you not in tights?

Anyway, you're not going to get me in that long underwear.

It doesn't even have a flap in the back for emergencies.

Please excuse my brother, Mr.

Kuznetsov.

Your brother?

Oh, yes, now I see resemblance.

Well, it is nice to meet you, young man.

What are you doing?

That is old Russian custom.

Oh, well, in that case...

What have you got against ballet?

I'm just not into ballet.

Anyway, there's one more thing I'm too small for.

Like basketball, football, and baseball.

Too small?

Why, I was already dancing a whole year when I was half your size.

And you grew up to be the great Kuznetsov whom the world adores. And who

keeping my class waiting.

Arnold, what is taking you so long?

We've been waiting in a limousine ten minutes.

I was talking to my pal, Dimitri.

Who? You know, the guy who sounds like a sneeze.

You mean Kuznetsov?

You met the great Kuznetsov?

Well, like that.

Well,

you could talk to him some other time, Arnold. Come on, let's go, Dad. No,

Willis. I would like very much to meet Kuznetsov. No problem, Dad.

introduce you. And don't be nervous.

He's an ordinary millionaire just like you.

Oh, Mr. Drummond. Mr.

Kuznetsov, if you don't mind, my dad and brother would like to meet you.

Well, any relative of Arnold's is friend of mine.

Don't worry, Willis. He's old.

Oh, the Russian costume.

When you were dancing, I saw you many times. I can't tell you how much I

it. Don't be silly. Of course you can tell me.

So, you like ballet?

Yes. You have danced yourself?

No. But you speak Russian?

Just those two words. I've been waiting for years to use them.

Mr. Drummond.

Would you like to stay and watch the children dance for Mr. Kuznetsov? Oh,

you. We'd like that very much, right, Willis?

I could hardly wait.

Please, make yourself comfortable. Me too.

Please continue practice.

Did you see that, Willis?

It looks like Magic Johnson won a pro slam.

Done.

Yeah, except after Magic does this thing, he doesn't kiss the other guys.

Maybe not, but I've seen him pet a few fannies.

There's even some little guys doing it.

Man, I never knew ballet was so terrific.

Dad, I just made a big decision.

Really? What's that, Arnold?

I'm going to be a ballet dancer.

A ballet dancer.

Are you out of your mind? That's crazy.

Why, Willis? There's nothing wrong with taking ballet lessons.

And I'm going to be real good at it.

I thought you got to start somewhere.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, here's that world -famous dancer, the fabulous

Arnoldovich.

How did the ballet class go today?

Fantastic.

I'm so proud of him, Daddy. He's doing really well with his basic positions,

he's only been at it for three weeks.

That's wonderful. How about a little demonstration for the guy that picks up

tab? Sure, Dad.

Here's the first one. It's called first position.

Good name for it.

And this is the second position.

Moving right along, this one's the first position.

Very good, Arnold.

Thank you.

Ballet is even tougher than basketball.

But at least I get to do it. I don't have to sit on a bench worrying if

somebody's going to pick me up and dribble me.

Arnold, don't worry. You'll be a lot better by the time we have the recital.

Recital? What recital?

I'm giving a recital next week, Dad.

And Arnold is gracious enough to let the rest of the class be in it, too.

Generous to a fault.

And Mr.

Kuznetsov was going to be there. Not a bad audience for my debut, huh, Dad?

He's probably on pins and needles.

Oh, you know what? I'm going to be doing those leaps.

Arnold, Arnold.

I'm getting tired of seeing you jumping around like a kangaroo with hot feet.

Well, it's Arnold just giving us a preview of his recital. A few weeks ago,

was nothing.

Today? I'm a toe -dancing fool.

Yeah, well, you can leave out the toe -dancing.

Get off his case.

Dad, why don't we put him up for re -adoption?

Willis, don't you think you're coming down a little too hard on Arnold?

Oh, but Dad, I mean, you've seen him dance.

Haven't you noticed something?

What? He keeps falling down.

Terrible. Well, what do you expect after just a few weeks, that he'll dance like

Baryshnikov? He can't even dance like Donald Duck.

Look, Willis, it's just a phase Arnold's going through. At the moment, he likes

ballet. He's having fun. What's the problem?

Well, Dad, real guys don't take up ballet.

Everybody knows they're all, you know, kind of sweet.

Well, in the first place, who cares?

In the second place, you're wrong.

Ballet is a beautiful, creative art.

Well, not to me.

Anyway, Arnold's too young to know what he's doing.

Now, listen.

I want you to stop hassling Arnold. Do you understand?

Yeah, I understand.

But don't be surprised if he starts plucking his eyebrows.

Time for bed, twinkle toes.

I'm practicing for my recital tomorrow night.

Practicing? I thought you were drying your nails.

Willis, what is going on?

This morning when I was getting dressed, you said I should pick out something

pretty from Kimberly's closet.

Why are you bugging me?

Because I want a little brother, not a little sister.

thinking about trading me in?

Arnold, if you keep doing this ballet stuff, you know what guys are going to

call you.

Did you ever hear the word effeminate?

Sure.

You know what I mean?

Of course I do.

Diana Ross is effeminate.

Brooke Shields is effeminate.

Menjo Green ain't.

No, no, no. That's not quite right, Arnold.

Effeminate means a guy is like a girl.

What you talking about, Willis?

Comtown. You're calling me a girl?

to have these things.

Anyway, I know you're okay, but it's what other people think that gets you in

trouble.

They're going to call you a sissy for the rest of your life.

Are you serious?

That's right. They're going to call you all sorts of names.

Boy, you're dancing one lousy ballet.

And I'll tell you another thing.

If you dance in that ballet recital tomorrow night, I won't be there to

I couldn't stand to see you ruin your reputation.

You mean it?

You really wouldn't come?

That's right.

Oh.

Well, I guess I won't be dancing.

All right.

Well, how am I going to get out of this?

Hi, guys.

Hey, Arnold, this is for you.

I was going to give it to you tomorrow, but I just couldn't wait.

Thanks.

What is it?

You'll never guess.

I'll guess after I open it.

You can say that again.

Hey, you better hit the sack, everybody. Arnold, it's a big day coming up

tomorrow. Okay, Dad.

Arnold, what's the matter with your leg?

Nothing.

Nothing? You're limping.

I am?

Arnold, what happened?

Hey, don't try to hide it now.

Well, it's nothing.

It only hurts when I move.

Sit down, bro.

Hey, let me look at that.

Looks pretty bad to me.

It feels a little swollen, Dad.

Let me see that.

Ooh!

How did you do this?

Um, it must have been that last plie that got me. I hope it's not a

fracture.

What a shame, Arnold. Well, I'm afraid you better not be in the recital. You

can't dance with a bad leg.

But I gotta dance.

It's in my blood.

No, I'm sorry, Arnold. It'll probably just make it worse.

I know how disappointed you must feel.

Yeah. The best thing for you to do now, get right up into bed and stay off

that ankle.

Okay, Dad. I'm sure it'll be much better in the morning.

Good night, son. Good night. Good night, you too. Good night, Daddy. Good night,

Dad.

There'll be other recitals, honey.

Sure.

Night, Kimberly.

Night.

Smart move, bro.

You did real good.

If I did so good, how come I feel so bad?

Mr. Brown.

So pleasant to see you all again.

Thank you. Well, little one, your sister tells me I have your ankle. I am deeply

sorry.

I will have a recital, Arnold.

Just for you.

Excuse me.

I was terribly disappointed.

He was really looking forward to dancing for you. Weren't you, Arnold?

Yeah. I never thought I'd be hanging on my tights so early in my career.

It's not whatever, Arnold.

You will dance again.

Oh, no, he won't.

Well, I mean, you know, it's like with athletes.

Once you hurt yourself, you're never the same.

Let's sit down, bro.

Arnold, is the pain worse now than it was this morning?

Well, it comes and goes.

Here it comes.

That's very interesting.

Because this morning you were limping on your right leg. Now you're limping on

your left.

Was I?

Maybe one leg caught it from the other leg.

I think I know the name of this disease.

It is called...

That's what I thought it meant.

I speak Russian better than I realize.

Well, Dad, I don't want to be called names.

I mean, who wants to go through life with people making fun of you?

I don't like Arnold being made fun of.

Willis, what other people think of you is far less important than what you

of yourself.

Hey, listen, Arnold.

If you like ballet as much as you say you do, don't let Willis or anybody else

talk you out of it. You listen to your father.

He is smart man, even if he's not Russian.

You know, Dad, I think you're right.

Well, then, you will dance tonight?

Yeah.

Da! Ha -ha!

Excellent! Good for you, Arnold.

You know what you're doing, Arnold?

Yeah.

tights the size they ain't short.

Look, Willis, I would like for you to stay, but if you want to walk out on me,

they're your feet.

Willis, why did you do that to him? I was only thinking of Arnold, Dad.

If you ask me, I think you were thinking about yourself.

What do you mean by that?

You were worried that Arnold was going to be a reflection on you. You don't

your friends to tease you about your brother.

Well, maybe I don't.

I'm surprised at you, Willis.

I thought you were mature enough to take a little ribbing.

Well, if you want to leave, it's okay with me, too.

But one day, you'll realize how wrong you are.

All right, all right, I'll stay. Good.

That's my daughter, the one on the right.

That's my daughter, the one on the left.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

They got nothing but the genes, but they got different strokes to take,

different strokes to take, different strokes to move the world.

Good morning, everybody.

Hey, good morning.

I just want some juice, Adelaide. I've got to get to school.

Excited about the big day, huh, honey? Yep. Today is the day that the school

cafeteria gives you free spaghetti.

If you get the lucky meatball.

That's thrilling, Arnold. But it's not the big day Adelaide was referring to.

No?

Oh, you mean the big day Saturday.

Almost forgot.

I must be the only 11 -year -old kid in town who's senile.

Arnold, how could you forget?

While you were cutting your birthday cake last year, you were already making

plans for the next one.

Hey, how many kids are you going to have at your party this year?

I don't want to party this year.

You don't want to party? I'm tired of parties.

That's for kids.

I'm mature now.

Well, Arnold, if that's what you want, it's fine with me, but I'm really

surprised that you don't want to have a party.

I'm flabbergasted.

My flabber's even more gasted than yours.
