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 needs.

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.

Everybody's got a special kind of story.

Everybody finds a way to shine.

We don't matter that you got not a lot.

So what? I'll have theirs, you'll have yours, and I'll have mine.

And together we'll be fine. It takes different strokes to move the world.

it does. It takes different strokes to move the world.

And so, General Santa Ana won his attack on the Alamo, and Texas temporarily

remained part of Mexico.

Arnold, the way you gave that report on old Mexico was one big siesta.

And you're the expert, since your breath smells like old tacos.

Hey, hey, hey, listen.

Well, I'll see you all tomorrow, huh? Oh, listen, listen.

Everybody be careful out there. I guess you all heard that another one of our

students was mugged last night.

Okay, enough said?

Okay, see you tomorrow.

Hey,

kid, come here.

I said come here.

Hey, what are you doing? Hey, help, help, somebody help me.

Wait a minute.

Okay, now, this finger goes here.

Ouch.

And this finger goes here.

And this finger goes there.

And that chord is called an A.

What's the A stand for, agony?

Thanks for the lesson, Sam.

Would you like another lesson tomorrow, Mr. D?

Oh, sure, Sam. My fingers would be untangled by then.

Hi, guys.

Hi, Arnold. What you got behind your back?

Oh, uh, just my jacket. It, uh, kind of got ripped.

It didn't hurt you.

Cut it out, guys. I got mugged. Did the guy have a gun?

No, a knife.

Luckily, he only got a couple of dollars.

Luckily, he didn't get hurt. Sam, go get Dad. No!

Come back here.

It's not that big a deal, guys.

The guy had a knife. What's a big deal to you? A bazooka?

No.

You know, it's over now.

Forget about it.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Remember when I got mugged? I didn't want to tell anybody for a long time

either.

It's not that. I just don't want you guys to worry Dad.

Besides, that knife didn't scare me.

You should see what I did to that guy.

Did you punch his legs out on him?

Hey, you know it. First I gave him a left, then a right, then an uppercut,

then a roundhouse and a Sunday punch.

Then I gave him the other six days, too.

Then how did he get all your money, Sugar Ray?

He grabbed it out of my pocket and ran.

That's how it got ripped, but it doesn't matter. Pearl will sew it up.

Yeah, well, I guess we won't tell Dad.

Yeah, he'll just get worried and call the police.

It's like they have more important things to do, like cleaning up after

horses.

Well, Arnold sure is taking it to the library than I did when I got mugged.

Kind of a yellow belly.

A little more, Willis? Aw, you bet, Dad. You know, you're a great cook.

Pearl's been on vacation three days now, and I don't even miss her cooking.

Thank you.

Hey, I love your dinner. It's the best, Mr. D.

What restaurant are we eating at tonight?

We'll see, Sam. A little more oatmeal?

Oatmeal? Why didn't you tell me I was eating that, Mr. D? I hate that stuff.

But that is your second bowl.

More soggy cornflakes, Sam?

You bet, Mr.

Miller. Well, well, well.

If it isn't my favorite family.

Hi, Arnold. Morning, morning.

Well, you've been very chipper lately. What's going on?

It's Friday, which means no homework, which means I get to stay up late, which

means all -night horror flicks on TV, which means... Which means we got the

idea.

Oh, before I forget, Arnold, Dudley called while you were in the shower.

He and Ricky got a ride, so they can't walk to school with you this morning.

Oh, okay.

Hey, Dad, how about giving me a ride to school in the limo?

Oh, I'm sorry, Arnold.

I'm going to be going in the opposite direction. I have to meet with my

accountant.

It's tax time again.

Boy, I'm sure glad I don't have to pay taxes.

Sam, you pay taxes every time you buy a candy bar or a root beer.

I do?

Boy, that's pretty sneaky of him.

Well, Arnold, I guess you're just going to have to go to school alone.

Oh, okay.

It's no big deal.

Hey, Arnold, I want to go with you. No, you won't, Sam. You're not walking

anywhere.

Uh, I mean, thanks anyway, Sam, but I'll just go to school by myself.

Arnold, don't you like your cereal?

Pretend it's soggy cornflakes.

Thanks, Sam. I think my stomach's a little queasy. Oh, really?

You were all right a minute ago.

If Arnold's not eating, he must be sick. You're not running a temperature.

Arnold, you can't be sick. You told me you never get sick on Friday. You always

wake up on a... Uh, Sam.

I guess I talk too much.

Listen, Arnold, if you're really not feeling well, maybe you better not go to

school today.

That's a good idea, Dad.

Man. I think I'm coming down with the same thing.

Then you better go to school, Willis. You don't want to give it to me.

Well, it was worth the shot.

Arnold, why don't you just go back upstairs, get into bed, and I'll be up

minute.

Okay, Dad.

I hope he's not getting the flu.

He's just tired from staying up all night.

Staying up?

What do you mean, Sam?

Well, the last few nights when I wake up, Arnold's still not sleeping.

He's just sitting at his desk with the lights off.

Sam, why didn't you tell us about this before?

I didn't think anything was wrong.

Arnold told me he was studying a history book on the Dark Ages.

Then I saw what he put in his school notebook and I got kind of scared.

In his school notebook?

Look.

But in the world of fashion, has being black gone out of style?

Now look, Willis, I am very disappointed in you.

Why didn't you come and tell me that your brother had been mugged?

I'm sorry, Dad, you're right.

Arnold!

Arnold!

Yeah, Dad?

Would you come down here, please?

Okay. Would you guys leave us alone, please? Sure, Dad.

Uh, Dad, what is it? I was just getting ready to get in bed.

I'd like to know why you've been carrying one of our kitchen knives to

Knife? That's right.

You must have noticed it in here among your pencils and erasers and purple

bubble gum.

Uh, well, you see, uh, there's this kid at school, a friend of mine, and he

needed something cut, and I told him he had this real sharp knife at home, and I

wouldn't let the school circuit use it.

I see. I thought maybe it might have something to do with you being mugged.

Great.

Which one of the two stooges is stooge?

All right, son, come over here.

Why didn't you come and tell me that you'd been mugged?

Ah, Dad, he only got a couple of bucks. It wasn't the end of the world.

Well, it is the end of the world when you start carrying things like this for

protection.

You must have been absolutely terrified.

Nah, Dad.

I told you what the knife was for.

The only thing that's terrified me lately is when I accidentally barged in

Willis kissing the bathroom mirror.

Oh, stop it. You could have been hurt.

For crying out loud, don't you realize what happened?

I'm sorry, Arnold.

You think about it and you want to talk.

I'm always available. I want you to remember that.

That's okay, Dad.

I've practically forgotten about getting mugged.

The only thing that's bothered me lately is my homework and how to get out of

doing it.

You seem to be feeling a little better.

Funny thing, Dad. My stomach's a little bit better now.

I'm glad to hear that.

Would you like me to drop you off at school?

Sure, Dad. But won't that make you late for your tax meeting?

Maybe. But you come first.

Thanks, Dad.

I'll just go get my coat.

Good.

So what's going on, Dad? What's Arnold up to?

He gave me some cockamamie story about the knife.

But I think he was carrying it for protection.

He also said that... Wait one second, Dad.

I think Arnold's a lot more shook up than he's willing to admit.

Well, he's certainly not dealing with it. I didn't want to push him. I didn't

even bring up the thing about him not sleeping.

This is just incredible.

My son thinks he has to arm himself with a knife, a lethal weapon.

What kind of a world is this?

What are you going to do, Dad?

Well, I have this friend who's a child psychologist. Maybe I'll call him and

talk to him.

A psychologist?

Dad, do you really think he's that serious?

Yes, I do.

And I will send Arnold to see him if it's necessary.

Send Arnold to a psychologist?

Poor guy.

Well, it's for Arnold's own good.

I was talking about the psychologist.

Three and four and five and six and... Oh, hi, Willis. Hey, Dad. Are you

watching Maggie's show?

Uh, no, Dad. I'm watching the exercise show on the other channel.

Better not let Maggie find out you're watching that show.

Well, it's your flat more than your tummy.

I'll never tell on you, Willis. Hey, she's the one Mama calls the tail of the

bun.

Someday those buns will be hanging in the Smithsonian.

Hey, watching all that exercising makes me hungry.

Me too.

I think I'll go make a snack.

Me too.

I think I'll make my new favorite.

A peanut butter pickle sardine sandwich.

for picking me up from school.

No problem, Arnold.

Boy, there's nothing like a good workout to get you in shape.

Yeah, you're really building up those whole eye muscles.

That's right, yeah.

So what about Arnold?

Did you talk to that psychologist today? Yes, I did.

He thinks most definitely that Arnold is covering up the experience of being

mugged. He shows all the signs.

Well, why is he covering up?

He usually always comes to one of us when he has a problem.

But we sometimes forget that Arnold's growing up. He's just starting to feel

independence. The last thing that he wants to do is to come running to one of

to solve his problem.

Yeah. I remember when I was about his age, a big kid at school took my lunch

money.

And why didn't you tell me about that then when it happened?

Right, Dad, I see your point.

But, you know, Arnold claimed he fought back, but I don't think so. I think he

feels like a wimp. I know I did.

How can we help him?

Well, by making him realize that the mugger's a terrible person and what he

was wrong and that Arnold has nothing to be ashamed of.

Well, that shouldn't be hard.

That part isn't. The rough part is to get Arnold to open up and talk about it.

But Dr. Parsons said we have to let him do that in his own good time.

Well, if that doesn't work, Dad, I'll teach Arnold a little kung fu.

I didn't know that you knew kung fu.

I don't. I was hoping you'd pay for my lessons first.

Nice try.

But Dr.

Parsons did tell me about something that just might help.

I'm going to make a few phone calls and see if we can arrange a demonstration at

Arnold School.

Ah, good, Dad.

And so with the settlement in the West, many Americans were satisfied with the

land that America held.

But a lot of people still believed in America's manifest destiny.

Write that down. That's America's right to take as much land as they thought

that they needed.

But a lot of people felt... Calm

down. But he stole my

purse. I know, Lisa, I know. Just sit down.

Okay. What's going on?

Yeah. Mr.

Drummond, Mr. Hawkins. Who are you? Hi, class.

Hi.

Dad, what are you doing here? Did you see what just happened?

Relax, Arnold. Yes, I did.

And that man is a police officer.

And he did that to get your attention because he wants to talk to you about

street safety.

Why do we need that, Mr. Drummond? Yeah, we live in New York.

We're already street smart.

Oh, really, Ricky?

Tell me something. That man that ran in here, what was he wearing?

Blue jeans and a yellow T -shirt. No, it was a brown shirt and white pants.

No, you guys are all dopes. He was wearing a blue shirt and white pants.

We're dopes.

I can't wait to see that guy's face when he opens that purse and finds your king

-sized jar of ugly cream.

Dad, the man was wearing blue jeans and a red sweater.

Wrong. Now, let me show you. I have a little surprise for you.

Sergeant Coletta, would you come in, please?

A class I would like you all to meet, Police Sergeant Jim Coletta.

Hi, gang.

How you doing?

Here's your purse, Lisa.

Thanks for helping out with our little demonstration.

But how could you carry this around without a forklift?

Sergeant Coletta, I figured it was some kind of demonstration all along, and I'm

always happy to help out and do my duty in any and all school activities.

One more speech like that, and he's going to arrest you for boarding a

officer.

Okay, everybody, settle down, all right? Listen, I think it'd be very nice if we

gave Mr. Drummond a hand for arranging all this, huh?

My pleasure.

Now, I hope that little demonstration taught you to keep your eyes open and

wits about you.

You see, everybody saw it differently because no one was really paying

attention. Sort of like a history class right here, right, Mr. Hawkins?

Sergeant Glutter, isn't it difficult to pay attention when you're on the street

and somebody surprises you?

Well, it's difficult, but not impossible.

In fact, any description you can give to the police is very helpful.

Do you know that nationally last year, over 28 million kids had something

from them? I mean, how would you like your...

Your new watch ripped off, or your lunch money stolen, or your Walkman. I mean,

there's nothing wrong with the streets. They're terrific.

I mean, I grew up in the streets, and there's nothing wrong with me, right?

You just have to be alert.

Now, when it comes to being street smart, there's no such thing as right

wrong. But there is strategy.

Now, I'm going to need some volunteers.

Lisa, could you help me out again, please?

I'd be proud and honored to, Sergeant Kalana.

But please, don't bring your purse.

Just kidding, Lisa. We can't have purse snatching without a purse.

All right, now. I want you to walk down the street on your way home from school

just exactly the way you do every day. Okay?

You might be interested to know that on most days before stopping home, I stop

by the library to work on my extra credits. Lisa, Lisa, just pretend to be

walking. All right, class, watch this.

A nice day, sunny, she's enjoying herself, walking down the street.

Now, class.

What's wrong with this picture?

Cows don't carry purses.

Arnold.

See, gang, she isn't paying attention.

Lisa is a prime target for purse snatching. She's too busy looking in

windows for a wedding gown.

So no matter where you are, always keep one eye on the lookout for the bad guy

and the other eye on the wedding gown.

You should try it, Arnold.

I think you'd look better cross -eyed.

Okay, I think I'm going to need another volunteer.

Okay, the young man in the blue sweater.

Thanks a lot, guys.

Jackson. Coletta. Right on.

Now, certain things are obvious.

Don't stand out.

Don't dress better than your friends and don't flash a lot of expensive

possessions. In other words, Be a zebra among zebras.

Can't I just stay home and be a chicken among chickens?

No, we can't turn the streets over to the bums.

Use strategy.

Learn to take control of the sidewalk around you. Be alert. Walk tall.

Pretend to be John Travolta if it'll get you in the mood. But just do it. Okay,

Jackson, buddy, give it a shot.

Verbalize it.

That's right.

A mean zombie.

So I'll be shaking with this boy's bacon.

Arnold, he said John Travolta, not Olivia Newton -John.

Yeah, I think that was a little too much shaking, Jackson, but everybody did get

the idea.

Now, strategy number two. If someone does approach you or you think you're

followed, make eye contact quickly.

Get a sense of them, how tall they are, how threatening is the situation.

And then what do you do?

Run.

If you think you're in danger, run into a store across the street. Change your

direction. You got it?

Got it. Come on, guys. You got it? Got it. That's it. Hey, Jackson, maybe you

can help me out here. I hear that you were mugged recently.

Yeah. You were mugged, Donald?

Why didn't you tell us?

Because it wasn't that big of a deal.

This guy just kind of took me by surprise.

So you didn't spot him before you were mugged?

Only for a few seconds. He didn't look like a mugger.

Yeah, they almost never do.

I mean, there's no stereotype for muggers anymore these days.

I mean, even Mr. Drummond can be one, although he'll only steal your Wall

Journal.

Now, muggers look just like everybody else.

So if you get a funny feeling about someone, you take off.

Well, what if you do all that and someone still comes after you? Good

If someone comes up behind you and puts a knife to your throat, what do you do?

think I'm going to do? Look where the knife is. Come on, gang. Do you still

think he should fight?

You didn't fight him, did you, Jackson?

Good. That's being street smart.

Possessions can be replaced a lot faster than you can.

Get that knife away from me. That's what that mugger guy did to me. It was

awful. It was horrible.

I was scared he was going to kill me.

It's okay. I was okay.

Jackson, buddy, I'm sorry.

But you obviously did the right thing. You know why, pal?

Because you're still here.

It's going to be all right, Arnold.

I'm glad you finally got this out.

Now, we'll just go someplace and have a little talk.

Thank you.

Okay, guys.

Let's just review some stuff.

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

May not be right for some. For many boys meet the men of age.

Then along come two.

They got nothing but the genes.

And they got different strokes of things.

Different strokes of things.

Different strokes of the world. It doesn't take.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Nicolette. What kind of sick, kinky, twisted personal

dad is that?

Well, how sick, kinky, and twisted are you? This is not a personal dad. I'm

looking for a roommate.

I knew that.

Nicolette, how'd a roommate search come?

Oh, as I like to call it, the impossible dream.

And what are you implying?

I ain't implying nothing. I'm coming right out and saying it. You had eight

different roommates this year.

You're too damn picky.

And she's not picky. She's just careful about who she lives with.

Thank you.

Malcolm, you made this sandwich tomato -side down. Don't you know that gets the

bread all soggy?

All right, she is picky.

Nicolette's ad yet? No, I couldn't get past the person. Check this out.

Woman, great dancer, great cook, looking for a lusty man to spend my golden

years with. Ed, you're looking at elderly seeking elderly.

You never know. Some things get better with age.

Hey, how you doing?

See, you brought that little rug right with you.

Hey, what's up, bro?

Girls all over you, ain't you? Are you kidding? He's fighting them off with his

rattle. This is your baby boy.

What's going on, homie?

Coochie, coochie, oochie, cooing on.

Malcolm, it's oochie before coochie. Don't you know how to talk baby talk?

Well, I'm glad you do, Ed, because I need you to watch Bradley today.

Oh, no problem, girl. You know what I'm saying? Me and Bradley need to catch up

on a few things, you know.

Eddie, my mom and Patrice went out of town. They're in Vegas throwing their

panties at Tom Jones.

I never understood that.

I don't understand it either. It's a scary thing to see them big bloomers

at your head.

Look, I'm going to a job interview today in St. Louis, but I'll be back tonight

on the 5 o 'clock flight.

You sure you can handle a whole day, Ed? You know, things happen.

Like the green goo that's coming out of Brad's mouth right now.

That's just the peas I gave him for breakfast.

Yeah, green goo ain't dangerous unless your head is turning 360 degrees.

Oh, please, Eddie. You're the only one in the family who ever did that.

Actually, he still does it on Friday nights.

Everything's here. Diapers, formula, mascara.

Oh, that's mine.

Thank God.

The most important thing is little Wubby.

He loves playing with it.

Hey, Paige, why you gonna put the little bruh business all out in the street?

This is his little wubby.

It comforts him when I'm not around.

Mr. Buttons!

Mr. Man.

Your mama gave this to Bradley, and he loves it, so don't get any ideas about

taking it back.

Okay. Wish me luck.
