All language subtitles for Diffrent Strokes s06e12 The Houseguest

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 to take, different strokes to

take, different strokes to move the
world.

We'll be right back.

very wrong apartment.

Oh, um, hi, Dad.

Charlene was just, um, just telling me
about the big school dance this weekend.

Yeah, it looked like you were taking the
words right out of her mouth.

Hi, Charlene.

I got a good chance.

Now, that's what I call an understanding
father.

He's sure not like my dad.

Is your dad still getting in a chase?

Yeah. He just can't help bringing his
work home with him. Well, I guess a vice

cop sees a lot out there on the streets,
and you can't blame him for being a

little overprotective.

Overprotective? When I come home from a
date, he does everything but dust me for

fingerprints.

Well, I guess I better start wearing
gloves.

That's not funny, Willis.

All his rules and regulations are
driving me crazy.

Oh, well, just hang in there. After
we're in college, we'll get married and

you'll move out.

Married?

Willis, do you really love me that much?

Hey, I wouldn't have let you be my
girlfriend for three years if I didn't.

What a guy.

Willis, do you think we could announce
our unofficial official engagement at

dance this weekend?

Why not?

Let's tell the world. Oh, man,

I better start announcing engagements
more often.

You know, just to make it unofficially
official, I want you to wear my class

ring.

Oh, Willis, I promise I'll never take it
off.

I know.

Oh, not again.

What do you two brush your teeth with,
super glue?

Okay, troops, who's ready for some more
beef stew?

Is that what this is?

Thank you.

I don't mind cooking when Pearl takes a
weekend off, but I'd like to think it's

appreciated. I've been slaving over a
hot microwave for four and a half

Hey, Dad, why don't you sit down and
join us? Who, me? I wouldn't eat this

if you paid me.

I'll get it.

Oh, and Dad, I have some more
eutrophics, too. Good.

Hi.

Charlene, I know we talked about
marriage this afternoon, but I don't

saying anything about eloping.

Did I do something wrong?

Hi, Charlene. Hi.

I'm sorry to barge in on you like this.

But I didn't know where else to go.

What do you mean? What's the matter,
Charlene? Come on over here and sit down

and tell us what happened, honey.

Well, I finally had it out with my
father.

No matter what I do, it's wrong.

Oh, I'm sure he doesn't really think
that.

But he does.

And I think by now I've earned the right
to be trusted. I'm a full -grown woman.

Yeah, the fullest.

Well, what did your father say to you?

Well... All through dinner, he kept
picking on me just because I forgot to

an errand I promised to do.

And my mother, she just sat there not
saying a word.

What did you say to your father?

Well, I told him I never wanted to see
him again, so I packed a bag and ran

Good for you, Charlene. Kids should
stand up to their parents.

Of course, I'd never do that myself.

What are you going to do now?

I don't know, but I'm not going back.

Well, if you'd like to, you can stay
here with us until things cool down. But

only on one condition, Charlie, and that
you try to work things out with your

father.

Well, I can try.

Good. I'll go and phone him and tell him
you're here.

He probably has every policeman in the
city looking for you.

You just relax, Angel Cakes.

Everything's going to be great.

Except for one thing, which I better go
do right now.

Where are you going, Arnold? To the
bathroom.

With another girl in the house, I may
never get in there again.

Speaking of the bathroom, I'll go get
some towels for you, Charlene. Thanks.

Well, listen, are you sure you don't
mind me staying here?

Are you kidding? It'd be terrific.

We'll be living under the same roof.
It'll be like we're married, but without

mortgage payments.

Yeah, that'll give us a chance to know
each other better.

They say you never really know someone
until you live with them.

Oh, but it's different between us. I
mean, I already know all your faults,

you'd know mine if I had any.

We're looking for everyone who hasn't
tried Honey Bunches of Oat.

It's breakfast time.

Would you like to try some? Yeah. A
little sweet, a little crunchy.

It's great.

This is very good.

I like this.

What do you think?

It's in this stuff. It's the perfect
combination of crispy flakes, crunchy

clusters, and just a touch of honey in
every spoonful.

I guess I'll get the milk.

One spoonful is all it takes.

Well, what is that stuff?

Something I've been seeing for a special
occasion, Arnold.

It's called Wild Stallion.

Smells more like old pack horse.

Why are you putting it on now?

Because Charlene's coming in to kiss me
goodnight.

Kiss you?

She's liable to throw a blanket and a
feed bag on you.

She can do whatever she wants to me.

You really like Charlene, don't you?
Like her?

Arnold, she's the only girl for me.

And one of these days, and maybe not too
long from now, I'm going to marry her.

Get a hold of yourself, Willis. That
cologne is clouding your brain.

Come in.

Is somebody ready for their goodnight
kiss?

Yeah, lay it on me.

Uh, excuse me, Arvo. There's a guy in
line ahead of you.

So, um, unpuck your pucker.

You look beautiful.

So do you.

Now I know what to get you, too, for a
wedding present. A crowbar.

Good morning, lady.

I hate to interrupt such a fascinating
topic of conversation, especially if it

was probably about me.

But how about my morning kiss?

If you'll excuse me, I think I'll get
out of here before it gets too warm in

kitchen.

How about that kiss?

Fire when ready.

What's the matter?

I guess I've never seen you look like
this before.

Well, you don't have to look so
frightened. I don't self -destruct.

Do you wear rose in your hair every
night?

Sure. I want to look nice for you.

But I didn't expect to see you so soon
this morning, so I didn't have time to

fix myself up.

Oh, well, that's okay.

That's so funny.

You've got moisturizer on your nose.

Moisturizer?

Yeah, how'd that get there?

From me. I put it all over my face at
night. I must have left a little behind

ear.

Is there anything else I should know
before we get married?

You don't take your teeth out at night,
do you?

No. Everything else you see is original
equipment.

Good.

Now, how about some breakfast? A couple
of eggs ought to do it. Sounds great.

Make mine scramble.

Well, I was kind of thinking more along
the lines of you cooking and me eating.

Me cook?

I wouldn't know where to begin.

It takes me an hour to make men it
right.

Well, that's okay.

You'll have plenty of time to learn
after we're married.

Willis, the problem with learning to
cook is then you have to do it. I have

heart set on being a career woman.

Well, that's okay for a few weeks.

And then you can learn to cook.

Willis, I don't mean for a few weeks.

I don't want to be tied down to the
house like my mother is.

Oh.

Then who's going to take care of the
kids?

I kiss.

Don't you want to have kids?

No.

Are you saying you don't want to see
four or five little cool dudes like me

around?

Since you put it like that, absolutely
no.

Charlene, you're joking, right?

Not if you're saying you want me to
spend my whole life barefoot and

Oh, come on.

You'd have shoes.

Sorry, Willis, but forget it.

Then why are we even bothering to think
about marriage?

Well, now that I know your stupid
attitude about it, I'm really not sure.

Well, in fact, why are we even bothering
to think about going to the school

dance together tonight?

Well, you don't want to go here. That's
fine with me. Here, you can have this

crummy ring back, too. Crummy? Yes,
crummy. The first two letters of your

ring are rubbed off. Look, Willis

Is that the famous to -do list? That's
right.

It'll take a while.

What are you going to do?

Well, I'm going to lower my cholesterol.

How long is that going to take? Oh, six
weeks. Six weeks? Yeah.

I'm going to be done with this by then.

You are on, baby.

Okay.

Still not done yet, huh?

How'd you know it was me?

Thought you were Charlene coming in to
apologize.

Yeah, Charlene told me a little bit
about what happened.

Isn't it a little premature for you two
to be arguing about marriage?

It usually doesn't happen until the
honeymoon.

Dad, it's not like we were going to get
married right away or anything.

And now, not at all.

Well, would you like to tell me your
side of the story?

Okay. Good. And try to be objective
about it.

Okay. I'm right and she's wrong.

I think I'm beginning to see the
problem. The woman's out of control.

I have to tell you.

It sounds as if your ideas about love
and marriage are a little bit old

-fashioned. I'm supposed to be the old
fogey in this family.

What's so bad with wanting my wife to
stay home, cook, and take care of the

while I go out and make a living?

Well, there's nothing bad about that.

But marriage only works if both people
want the same thing.

Charlene and I do want the same thing.
We both want to wear the pants in the

family.

You know, you can't force her.

To accept your ideas about marriage.

Dad, you make me sound like a
prehistoric caveman.

Well, if the loincloth fits.

Dad. Son, marriage has to be a 50 -50
proposition or it just won't work at

Now, don't you think that you could bend
a little bit, maybe, and meet Charlie

in halfway?

I guess I can try.

I think if you apologize to her, she'll
meet you halfway.

And listen, don't act like an adolescent
kid whose nose is out of joint.

Be more adult about it. You know, more
sophisticated.

You really think that'll work, Dad?

Trust me.

Charlene, I guess the bottom line is, do
you still care about him?

Well, of course I do. I love Willard.

I'd just like to pound his head into the
ground with a croquet mallet.

Does that sound terrible?

Not to me.

Only I'd use a baseball bat.

Well, I know one thing I'd do if I were
you, Charlene. Willis is a really good

guy. Oh, he may be young and
opinionated, but you could get him to

You think so?

Sure. First of all, I would rise above
his childish, petty attitude and be

and sophisticated about it. You know,
like they do in those old British

And then I'd apologize to him before he
had a chance to apologize to me.

Apologize? No way.

Oh, that would sure make him feel guilty
and foolish.

I'll do it.

Yeah, treat him like a puppy. If he
makes a mess, rub his nose in it.

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go
make some breakfast, Charlene. You want

give me a hand, Arnold? No, thanks.

Lewis, I'd like to have a word with you,
my dear.

I'd like to have a word with you, too.

Fine. But first, I'd like to apologize
for my childish and unsophisticated

behavior earlier.

Oh, no.

It was I who was being childish, you
know, and sophisticated.

And I would like to apologize from the
bottom of my childishness.

Oh, well, that's very adult of you.

Yes, it is.

Should we let bygones be bygones?

Darling, consider them gone.

I should have been more understanding
when you were being such a jerk.

That's only because you were being so
petty, my pet.

Patty, what?

Hold it, hold it. It just seems we can't
get along.

Then maybe we should end this
relationship.

It's okay by me?

Fine. Right after the school dance
tonight.

Oh, let's do it now.

Why wait?

We don't want to spoil a good dance.

Well, it's been interesting.

Grossing.

I agree with the gross part.

See ya, fleas ball.

Women.

Well, how'd that little plan work out?
It backfired. It bombed. It was a total

disaster.

Well, it never worked for me either.

Doesn't Charlene look gorgeous?

I'll say.

She's loaded with gorge.

What are you all dressed up for?

Just because we're not going together
doesn't mean that I have to miss that

dance. Kimberly was nice enough to loan
me a dress.

And where'd you get that perfume?

You've never smelled like that before.

I borrowed that from Kimberly, too.

Where'd you get that cologne?

It's sort of a blend between wild
stallion and clear seal.

Well, I like to stand around here jawing
with you, Charlene. But my date should

be here any moment.

Your date?

That's right. I sent Dad's chauffeur and
limo to pick her up.

Willis, just who is this girl? I mean,
not that I care.

You don't know her anyway.

She's from another school.

What'd you do? Strike out with all the
girls in your school?

Willis, how could you have another woman
come by the house while Charlene's

still here? That's disgusting.

That's our boy, the Duke of Disgust.

Excuse me, that's my date.

Willis' date is a real hunk.

Can I help you? I'm here to pick up
Charlene. I'm her date.

Her date?

Oh, hi, Ron. Come on in. Well, hi there.
You look beautiful.

Thank you. So do you.

Oh, little old moi.

Merci. I think appearance is très
important for a man of today's world.

is making me tray, tray sick.

I'm sure that's for me.

Hi, Willie.

Hi there, Rosalie.

You look fantastic.

Come on in.

Thank you.

Excuse me, um, Ron, Kimberly Arnold, I
would like you to meet my

date.

This is Rosalind.

Hi, how are you doing? Fine, thanks.

Oh, I almost forgot. This other girl,
um... Charlene.

Hi.

Hi.

Boy, that is a fabulous dress, Rosalind.
Thank you.

You can't wear stuff like that,
Charlene.

See, Rosalind's tall and slender. And
you're built more like a linebacker.

Unnecessary roughness.

Wait a minute. Who is this bozo? Well,
up until this morning, this bozo is

Charlene's boyfriend.

What? Well, that's what's going on. You
didn't tell me you had a girlfriend.

I don't. She's my ex -girlfriend.

They're not going to be living together
anymore.

Living together?

Look, Charlene, I don't want to get in
the middle of anything here. I think

be better if I just split.

But, Ron, wait a minute. I'm with you. I
feel like a fool. Oh, but, Rosalind.

Well, you know, this is just fate.

It's kismet. I saw this in a movie once
where the girl and the guy, who were

strangers, ended up going to the dance
together.

So what do you think?

Buzz off, creep.

Thanks a lot, Willie. Me? What about
you?

Hold it. Hold it.

Not again.

You know, I think we've really had about
enough of this.

Would you two mind leaving the room,
please? Not at all, Dad.

Here we go again.

I'm going to grow up stupid.

Man, when I get married to my wife and
we go on my honeymoon, she'll probably

say, Arnold, would you mind leaving the
room, please?

Sit down. I want to talk to you two.

Mr. Drummond, it's just going to be a
waste of time. I won't talk to her. Sit.

All right, now.

What's the argument about this time?

She had the nerve to give herself a day
for the dance. Can you believe that?

Me? What about you? You did the same
thing. All right, all right, all right,

right. That's enough now.

I get the picture.

Hasn't all of this taught you two
anything?

Oh, I'm sure it's taught Charlene
something.

I'll bet that's the last time she'll
look in the one -ass for a date.

Well, at least my date's mustache was
better groomed than your date's was.

Now, these snide remarks won't get us
anywhere.

Look, I think you're both just terrific
kids.

But it's obvious to me that at this
moment, neither one of you are ready for

kind of a permanent relationship.

I think you're right, Mr. Driver. Yeah,
I agree, Dad.

And by the way, Charlene, I just had a
long talk with your father.

He was very understanding, and he would
like you to come home tonight after the

dance. Well, I guess I'm ready to.

Good. Good.

Now, look, kids.

It's clear to me that you really do care
for each other. But stop thinking about

lifetime commitments.

Enjoy what you have at the moment. Go
off to the dance together.

Oh, come on, Willis. Ask Charlene if
she'd like to go to the dance.

Well, Charlene wouldn't want to go.

He wants to know if you'd like to go.

Okay, since I'm already dressed for it.

She said okay, since she's already
dressed for it.

You know, your enthusiasm is
overwhelming.

Come on, come on, kids. Lighten up. Go
out there and have some fun together.

What do you say?

Come on, kiss and make up.

That's an order.

I said kiss.

Hey, hey.

That's enough.

I said that's enough.

Dad, we're only doing what you said to
do. Yeah, but I didn't tell you to do it

that good.

Now, come on, off you go. Off to the
dance. Yes, sir.

Thanks so much, Mr. Drummond. Glad I
could help.

Have a good time. Enjoy yourselves. Oh,
and listen.

Remember, no drinking, no smoking, no
going off to somebody's house for a wild

party, no high -speed joy rides, be home
by midnight, and no excuses. You got

it? Got it. We'll have a good time some
other night.

Thanks a lot, Dad.

Well,

I see you handled that pretty well, Dad.

Oh, thank you.

That's quite a compliment, coming from a
man of your vast experience.

Why are you eavesdropping?

Because I'm trying to learn about life.
Every time something comes up, you ask

me to leave the room.

Well, you've got a point there, Arnold.
Come on, sit down.

Now, what would you like to know?

Everything.

Everything? Well, at least enough so
that when I'm a father, I'll know when

kick my own kids out of the room.

They're just wondering what might be
right for you.

They might be right for some, but then
it's for people that are mean.

Then along come two, they got nothing
but the genes, and they got different

strokes to take, different strokes to
take.

What's going on in here?

My line is coming over for dinner
tonight.

No, she's not.

What? Did I forget to tell you? She
called and canceled.

Yes, you did.

I must be getting old.

Oh, man, I can't believe this. I cooked
the whole dinner for nothing.

See, this is just like her. Totally
inconsiderate. What lame excuse did she

this time?

Something about a mother, a rutted
appendix, emergency surgery.

Yeah, I really couldn't hear old Cyrus.

Like the paramedics couldn't have
handled that.

Yeah.

Well, this food ain't gonna go to waste.
I'm starving.

I know Dexter and Lex are probably
starved, too.

Oh.

Wait, hold up. Pull over, Slick.

Your cousin Dexter's coming over here?

Yeah. Did I forget to tell you?

I know I'm getting old.

Remind me to get some Geritol.

And your cousin Dexter cannot come over
here. The apartment is not even

earthquake -proof.

I haven't even strapped down the
breakables.

He called this morning, man.

I felt bad.

We've been avoiding him ever since he
got married.

I've been avoiding him ever since I met
him.

Well, you won't be avoiding him tonight.

Man. I was going to spend the evening
with a beautiful woman.

Now I got to spend it with your clumsy,
cursed cousin.

What you think inside your home?

really pregnant bit.

Oh, yeah, it was a real hoot.

You know what? I want a free dinner at
Black Angus with that bit.

Hey, why don't you guys come in and have
a seat? I'm sure you can't stay long.

Oh, heck, maybe not for many a time.

Oh, yippee.

Hey, uh, so when's the baby due?

Last Monday.

Little Dex is overdue.

Well, you know, I'm not counting, but
didn't y 'all just get married nine

ago?
