Exactly where the honeymooners are
today.

Oh, yeah? Where?

Yeah, well, from my expert calculations,
mine calls should definitely be in

Oklahoma City.

Or Amarillo, Texas.

Or Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Well, wherever they are, I sure hope
they call.

Well, tell me, if you were on your
honeymoon, would you call your kids?

Michael, if I were on my honeymoon, I
wouldn't have any kids.

You're not going to have any sauce
either because it's boiling over.

Oh!

and some lumps don't count.

The gagging gourmet strikes again.

Um, Michael, how would you like it if I
didn't show at your school carnival? You

have to get somebody else to run your
dumb old kissing booth.

Well, that's fine with me, because you
can always be replaced by a Saint

Bernard.

I think you need one of the little
girlfriends you go out with, don't you?

and what about them turkeys you date?
Oh, Michael, don't start again. No, you

start with me. You think you're trying
to... Michael, go answer the phone. I'll

get the phone. Yeah, you better get the
phone. Get off my case today, sister.

Hello?

hassling.

Hey, Ma, wait, wait. Ma, guess what?
I've been elected chairman of our school

carnival.

You're in Flagstaff, Arizona?

That's exactly where I said you were.

Hey, Ma, how's the honeymoon going?

Michael, you can't ask your own mother
how her honeymoon's going.

She said, have mercy.

All right, let me talk, let me talk.

Hi, Ma.

Yeah, we're fine.

Uh -huh. How's Carl?

Uh... That's good.

Hey, Ma, you know you caught me right in
the middle of cooking dinner?

Uh -huh. I cook dinner every night.

Honestly, Ma, we're fine.

Hey,

JJ,

Ma's on the telephone. That was the
craziest little girl that got on the...

on the phone.

Hey, Ma, JJ just walked in. Here he is.

life treating you.

Ma says she felt the earth move.

That means she and Carla really in love.

No, there was an earthquake.

Yeah, Ma, everything's fine.

Don't worry, I won't miss my dental
appointment next week.

Ma, you're on your honeymoon. How come
you asked me about my dental

They're at the Grand Canyon.

Brother Jay on this end.

Hey, look here, Carl.

You left the ceremony so soon, we didn't
have a chance to talk man to man. You

know, y 'all had ten cans and shoes tied
behind the back of your car.

Hey, well, look here, Carl.

As the man who gave away the bride and
as the number one son around here, I

that it is my duty to tell you this.

One of them pair of shoes was mine.

Give me the phone.

Hi, Carl.

Don't pay JJ no mind. You know, you just
take good care of Ma and be happy, huh?

Yeah, we gonna miss both of y 'all. So
have fun, all right?

Good. And if you think about bringing
any little babies back in here...

Like she's really enjoying connubial
bliss.

Nothing like two people connubialing
together.

Hey, JJ, finish telling us what happened
on the bus.

Oh, yeah, Michael. It was the funniest
thing.

You know, this little girl gets in the
bus. She don't have any money. This real

mean bus driver is going to throw her
off.

Oh, that's funny.

Anyway, she looks at me with those real
Mr. Blue City eyes and says... Mister,

could you loan me 50 cents?

Only I didn't have any extra change.

It gets funnier and funnier.

So anyway, I guess I really felt sorry
for her, so I stood up and went to the

front of the bus.

Naturally, as soon as I stood up, some
woman took my seat.

So anyway, I says to the whole bus as
I'm standing there, I says, the rah -ha

-ha. Brothers and sisters, the ha.

I says, brothers and sisters, the rah.
You see, Stan?

A sweet, innocent child about to be
evicted into the cold, hard street by

mean, cold, sterile.

Are we going to

tolerate her? This act of pettiness. I
personally say.

wait no hallelujah i want y 'all to ease

your hands down into those pockets
purses and pants and come on with the

cat not the jingly abraham lincoln's in

she collected so much money, Michael,
she's able to take a cab home.

Even the bus driver chucked in a buck.

Oh, baby, you can be all right when you
want to be.

Little girl was the craziest little girl
in the world. Hey, this is probably

Wilona. She may have smelled the food.

Hi. Is he here?

Is who here?

I don't know his name, but he's tall,
skinny, and beautiful.

Hold on now. Tall and skinny we got, but
beautiful?

How'd you get here? I followed you. JJ,
who is it?

JJ, what a super name.

It's a little girl from the bus.

Is there something you want?

leprosy in this country.

Leprosy's when your fingers fall off.

I thought I saw him lose a thumb.

Well,

uh, what happened to your forehead?

Oh, I was jumping rope.

Cinderella dressed in yellow.

Then I got hit by the knot in the rope.

Oh, what do you mean?

Esmeralda, you were so nice in the bus.

I want to live with you.

Yes, I can.

I'm not married either.

You're the most wonderful person in the
whole world.

Yes, we all know this.

Look, we got to take you back to where
you belong.

Can I belong with you?

I could sleep on the couch.

No, you can't do that, because, see,
that's where me and Michael here sleep.

It'll be a little crowded, but I guess
Michael can stay.

because if you do, I wouldn't mind being
a guest.

As a relative, we would love having you,
but what will the aunt say?

What aunt?

The aunt you live with.

Oh, you mean Aunt Priscilla.

I was thinking about Aunt Elizabeth.

Poor Aunt Elizabeth.

Something happened to her, too?

Never forget her lying there, all
covered with melted butter.

Uh, uh, uh, why don't we have a little
dinner?

Then you can tell us where you belong,
and then I can take you home. Would you

like that?

Dinner? Uh -huh.

Going home?

Uh -uh.

Well, I gotta go wash up.

Where you going?

I wanna wash up, too.

Wash up doesn't mean wash up.

Then if it's all the same to you, I'll
wait outside.

Hi, y 'all. Hi, Moana.

Girl, I am so beat today.

I couldn't even stay for dinner even if
you asked me.

Even if you said pretty please and put
some saccharine on it.

Even if you begged and pleaded.

Even if you got that on your...

Well,

you talked me into it.

Oh, well, well, well. Who's the girl to
you?

Her name is Esmeralda. She followed J
.J. home.

Oh, Lord, I remember the last time J .J.
was followed home. It was by a cat.

Came in the house, went under the bed,
and... You ain't gonna have no kittens

you.

We're just getting ready to eat dinner.
I ain't got no time for small talk.

One of the new tenants reported a lost
kid. Says she never showed up after

school. What's she look like?

Oh, she's about age about 10.

She's about 4 '7". She's wearing a red T
-shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers.

Anybody seen her?

Or, uh, what color socks?

What are you hiding, J .J., huh?

My booty, Bookman.

Well, your booty... he's wearing a red T
-shirt.

Well, I'm glad I found you. I've looked
everywhere.

You wouldn't have seen me if J .J. was
fatter.

You should have hidden behind Bookman,
Esmeralda.

Then you would have been lost forever.

Esmeralda? Her name is Penny.

Hey, you told us a fib.

Esmeralda's my play name.

My real name is Penny, short for
Millicent. You know, cent, penny, get

yeah, I get it, honey. I sure do.

My ex -husband used to call me Willie.
That's short for, Wellona, I'll be home

And Bookman here is Buffalo Butt.

You didn't tell us you lived in this
building. And what were you doing

Um, uh, the school bus got hijacked.

Five kids jumped on the bus and said,
Take us downtown.

Hold on, Penny. Wait, wait. You don't
expect us to believe that.

Well, the truth is,

I went downtown to see an old Mae West
movie, and I love Mae West movies.

Uh, you're not putting us on again, are
you, Penny?

Well, it's the man of my life. It's the
life of my man.

Those are my sentiments exactly, big
boy.

Well, that's all.

well and good, but right now this little
chickadee's got to go back where she

belongs. I want to meet JJ.

But you know you can't do that. Hey,
wait a minute, wait a minute. Let me

Uncle Nathan?

Huh? I'll buy you a great big wowie pot.

No way, Mr.

well, thank you so much, Mr... Evans, J

.J. Evans, I'm your neighbor upstairs.

Oh, I'm Mrs. Gordon, Lanella Gordon.

Oh, you must be Penny's aunt.

Her aunt?

Why, no, I'm her mother.

Oh, but Penny said that she... Well,
Penny, she likes to make up stories.

I'm sorry, Mama, I won't do it again, I
promise.

But tell her about the movies, you know.

It's not the men in my life.

Oh, Mr.

Evans. Oh,

maybe if I talk to your husband, we can
straighten this whole thing out.

I'm not married.

Oh, but Penny said that she... Like I
told you, she likes to make up stories.

Listen, thank you so much for bringing
her home safe. Oh, yeah, sure. Okay. Bye

-bye.

Didn't I tell you to come straight home
from school?

Yes, Mama.

But you disobeyed me, didn't you?

Yes, Mama.

You make me very unhappy, Penny.

And you know what happens to children
that make their mamas unhappy.

I locked it.

I knew that would be the first place you
tried to hide.

something's not right about Penny
Wallona. He said she acted sort of

around her mother.

Yeah, and all those wild stories she
told.

Well, of course, J .J. could be
imagining things.

In any way, we couldn't get involved.

But on the other hand, Ma always said
you should

never be reluctant to get involved when
a child's well -being is at stake.

Ta -da!

Oh, come on. Nobody wants to pitch up

Charlene, to agree to reset with me

tonight.

Well, we are going out in style.

Hers or yours?

Well, she's got the van, and I am the
man.

Charlene can't be too cool, because
she's dating a fool.

No, no, no!

That did it. That did it. I just
shortened your left knee.

Hey, has that silly little kitten around
here today?

No. She sure is a cute little kitten.
Yeah. You know, if I had a kid like

I'd probably kiss her and hug her and
love her to death.

But I don't have a kid like that, so
what am I talking about?

Well, I gots to hustle.

Turn around.

Now, my God, the hem is absolutely
straight, but...

Oh, look at this doll. So cute.

Penny, why did you tell us you didn't
have a mommy?

Oh, I was just pretending.

Then I guess I can't go.

I don't have anything to wear.

Well, don't you worry about a thing.
Wellona just happens to have a magic

costume room. I'll be right back.

Wellona, a costume room? Trunk of old
clothes, honey.

JJ, you want to play house with me?

I don't think so, Penny. I'm a real
dumbo when it comes to playing house.

Why don't you ask Michael there?

Uh -uh, Michael's got to play chairman.
Besides, I have to stop down by

Ferguson's funeral parlor and pick up
some folding chairs he's got down there.

Later.

Oh, come on, JJ, please.

All right, uh, Penny, but I'll play

Goodbye, Penny. J .J., please don't go.

Uh, J .J., we're late.

I love you, J .J., I just love you.

Uh, yeah, Penny, uh, could I talk to you

Beautiful gown on you. Isn't that

Thank you, Malone. It's so pretty, isn't

Yeah, in a minute. Yeah, it is pretty.

Want to see it, honey?

Hold it now.

First, we've got to take off your
sweater. Don't go away, J .J.

Honey, what happened to your arm here?

I mean, first things first, you can see
Penny's hurting here.

So just take a number and wait in line.

Well, I never.

And at this rate, you never will.

Sorry, J .J.

That's all right. She was just your

But you, kid, you're something special.

Oh, no!

Oh, my God, Penny, what... What happened
to you?

Uh, I fell.

I always fall.

My feet are all thumbs. Come here, babe.

Now, um... Penny, I, um... I know that
you like to pretend.

I want you to tell me the truth, okay?

Who burned you?

Penny, who beat you up? Who did those
terrible things to you?

Penny, tell me, who did this?

Hello there.

I've come to take Penny home.

Honestly, Mama, I didn't tell them
anything.

I didn't say a word. I didn't tell them

Tell them about what?

What would you have to tell them?
