All language subtitles for Good Times s05e02 The Evans Get Involved 2.eng

Good time, anytime you need a payment.
Good time, anytime you feel free.

Good time, anytime you're up and under.

Not getting hassled, not getting
hustled. Keeping your head above water.

Making a way when you can.

Temporary layoffs. Good time.

All right, Penny, we have to go now.

Say goodbye to these nice people.

Goodbye, everybody.

Bye. Gordon, wait.

Yes? We couldn't help but notice all
those bruises on Penny's back.

Oh, those.

Penny's at the awkward age. She's always
falling down.

Isn't that true, dear? Didn't you fall
down?

Uh -huh.

One time I fell out of the tree and I
landed on my pussycat and I squished

That pussycat sure leads a tough life.

What about the burn on her arm?

I told him I bumped into a stove, Mama.

You know, I have told Penny a dozen
times to stay away from that stove, but

stove should be locked up before it
kills somebody.

Thank you for having Penny over.

Bye. Bye -bye now.

Isn't it true, dear?

Didn't you fall down?

Who does that sucker think she's
fooling?

She fell. Her mother helped her down.

Oh, Amy, JJ, why are you choosing her
mother?

What? I mean, maybe Penny's telling the
truth.

Yeah, maybe Andrew Young's afraid to
open his mouth.

JJ, we have no proof. Penny said she
fell.

You say you fell down, too, if your
mother was Muhammad Ali.

All right, poor child.

Black is beautiful, but not when it's
black and blue.

Yeah, it's tough enough living in a
ghetto when you're in one piece.

J .J., I read that child abuse doesn't
only happen in a ghetto. I mean, rich

parents abuse their kids, too, you know.
Yeah, but rich people don't have to do

the beating.

They get their chauffeurs to do it for
them.

Hi, everybody.

Hi, Biggie Man. How's the carnival
going?

Oh, great. Did you get the chairs from
Ferguson's Mortuary?

No, Thelma. Mr. Ferguson rented them out
last night for a Weight Watchers

meeting, and today they're all being
glued back together again.

All right, leave it to that Ferguson to
turn a quick buck.

Gramps, why don't you try the church?
Let's borrow some chairs. Yeah. You

Wilona, I never realized there'd be so
many problems in putting a carnival

together. Do you know the prizes haven't
come yet, and the guy we hired as the

security guard is in a slammer? Why?
Well, he got arrested for writing

words on school property.

That's terrible.

I know.

He misspelled two of them.

Petty problems, Miguel.

Petty problems.

Now, if you have any executive
emergencies, feel free to call on me.

All right. I'm calling on you now,
brother.

He had two tickets, so give me $2.

Oh, me?

The brother of the chairman of the
festival has to pay to get in? Today,

That's like one of the Ringling Bros
having to pay to get in the circus.

Come on, JJ, it's for charity, and the
money goes to buy books for the school

library. Thank you. All right, all
right.

Thelma, pay the man.

Thank you, Brother J.

Hey, Thelma, you about ready for that
kissing booth?

Yep, got my lips and my lip gloss, but
Michael, you didn't tell me how much you

want me to sell my kisses for.

Thelma, be ready to make change of a
dime.

as you ugly mother.

Hold it, hold it. Referee Maloney calls
to the draw. Okay, move.

Move.

Where's Penny?

Her mother can't get to her.

I just hope she's too beat to beat on
her anymore.

Beat on her?

You mean her mother does that to her?
No.

We didn't actually see it, but I'm sure
she did. Oh, well then you're talking

about alleged child beating.

Here's the way it comes down, Michael.

The alleged mama took her alleged fist.

and hit the little kid's alleged back
and left a mess of alleged bruises

that were legibly clear.

Thelma's too lazy to move.

I was lonely.

It's nobody, just Bookman.

Okay, folks, don't just stand there.
Give me a hand.

delivery here for Michael Evans.

Oh, good. These are prizes for the
carnival games.

Hold it, bugger.

I got a tip for you.

Hey, I couldn't possibly accept the tip.
Here's the tip.

Go to Michael's school carnival
tomorrow.

Here's the ticket. Give me a dollar
booking.

Thank you.

I don't believe it. Y 'all done tricked
me again.

Oh, no, we didn't trick you, honey.
Thank you for the dollar, sucker.

Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Now, this ticket says come in costume.

What am I supposed to do about a
costume?

Hey, Bookman, just grab a basketball and
come as the Harlem Globetrotters.

Okay, okay.

Now, how would you feel when your mother
comes back off a honeymoon and found my

favorite tennis out in the street?

You know, I better count these teddy
bears. Knowing Bookman, he probably ate

one.

You know what else I want to be extra
special for the carnival? What should I

wear? Try wearing a paper sack over your
head.

Why don't you try shutting up? You got
something for your mungoose face.

Get out of here, you old banana head.
Just keep on moving.

Yo, chihuahua face.

Hey, JJ, man, I got a check inventory to
see if all the prizes are here. Want to

count teddy bears?

Michael, I said I wouldn't help you with
executive emergencies.

Now, if the word ever got out I was
helping you count teddy bears, I'd lose

seniority at the water cooler.

Hi, Penny. I forgot my costume.

Oh, here it is.

Hey, where'd you get all those teddy
bears?

Oh, would you like one?

Yeah. They're for the carnival.

What's so funny?

No, it doesn't.

It's got JJ's smile.

No, it doesn't.

And feel here.

It's all fuzzy between the ears.

Now you're talking about JJ.

I like you, Michael.

I like you too, Penny.

Hey, you know, I got a great idea for
something we can both do together in the

carnival. Why don't we pretend we're
Sonny and Cher?

You mean we're gonna get a divorce?

No, Penny. We're gonna do what they do
on TV.

I didn't share ever since I was a kid.
Oh, yeah? Well, Cher, how would you like

to sing with the world's greatest
Italian lover?

I'd love to, Sonny.

But Tim Martin isn't available.

Cute, Sonny.

Gritty, but cute.

Michael, what do you think?

This, you're going to knock them dead.

All right, Michael, that's going to cost
you. The kissing booth's just open.

Well, I can't say it wasn't worth it.
Here's my dime.

Can I have my change, please?

He's still in the bathroom. I'll get
him.

Hey, JJ, man, come on out of there. I
got a million and one things to do at

carnival. And don't forget, we got to
pick up Penny.

From the planet Ghetto.

I'm straight as an arrow and right on
course.

Don't mess with me, because I am known
as The Force.

Mother Morona here.

I read the past.

I read the future. And I accept all
presents.

number four, the doctor will be right
with you.

Did I help you? Would you like to see a

doctor? Well, have a seat and fill this
out.

You have to see a doctor right away.

Well, whatever's wrong with him, he's
going to have to wait his turn.

It's not me. It's the little girl.

Well, have a seat and fill out the form.
It's an emergency. Her arm might be

broken. Lady, these patients aren't here
for a cocktail party. They're all

emergencies. Let me handle this.

your turn.

Obviously, you have no concept of who
you're dialoguing with here.

I am J .J. Evans.

M .D.

Dr.

Medicine? No, Dazzler Mademoiselle.

How would you like me to introduce you
to paradise tonight?

And how would you like me to introduce
you to a tongue depressor right now?

I hope your dog dies.

Come on, Winona, let's fill out the
forms here.

What's the matter, sonny? Did your
spaceship crash?

What is wrong with the little girl? It's
her arm she's been beating.

You can let the little girl have my
turn.

I'm sorry, I can't do that. You know,
rules are rules.

What's that supposed to mean?

Let's just say that means to hell with
the rules.

All right,

the doctor will see you now.

Just a gypsy and a kid here.

Hello there, sweetheart.

What's your name?

Walona Woods.

No, I meant the little girl.

Penny. Penny?

That's a nice name. I'm Dr. Blake. Here,
let me take that.

Why don't you sit up here on this?

Table so we can have a look at that arm.

How'd it happen?

I fell off my skateboard.

Penny, you know that's not what happened
at all.

No, mother, let Penny tell me.

I'm not a mother.

I'm Alona Woods, the neighbor.

Doctor, this child's been beaten.

Is that true, Penny?

Uh -uh.

I fell off my skateboard.

Penny! Does it hurt you when I do this?

A little.

Can you wiggle your fingers like this?

Good, good.

Now, let me see you make a fist.

Good. How about bending your elbow?

Mm -hmm.

Fine, fine.

Well, I'm pretty certain it's not
broken.

But just to be sure, we'll take an X
-ray.

Of course, we're going to need a
parent's permission.

Well, she only has a mother.

And the mother's the one that did this
to her.

Look, I see children with bruises all
day long.

They fall off skateboard, wings, monkey
bars.

You know how it is.

Falling down is part of growing up.

Doctor, look, if you don't believe me,
take a look at the child's back. I mean,

look at her arm. Have her mother make an
appointment.

Doctor, what does it take to get through
to you?

I just told you the child was abused.

Do something about it, negro.

Don't come flapping at me.

As a doctor, I'm compelled by law to
report every case of child abuse.

So don't come in here telling me about
what I already know better than you.

If you got to make a report, report it.

Can you prove that this is child abuse?

Hey, look.

These marks here are not tattoos.

Did you see how they got there?

Oh, no.

Then I heard all the fat mouth from you
I want to hear.

You didn't see the child get beaten, and
neither did I.

Do you know how difficult it is to prove
child abuse in court?

I'm a doctor, not a lawyer. And you're
also a creep.

Good day, Miss Woods.

Come on, Penny.

You want my professional opinion?

You better get yourself a heart
transplant, because, baby, you need one.

Penny, if you don't tell us the truth,
we can't help you, honey.

Yeah, well, only it's right, Penny. You
got to tell it like it is.

Okay, I will.

cookies are there.

J .J., help.

She's right. Well, only these cookies
aren't there.

J .J.

That's right, Penny. You got to be
straight with us now.

You didn't fall off your skateboard, did
you?

J .J., I'll tell you the truth, but it's
only because I love you.

I didn't fall off my skateboard.

What really happened was that I went...
I guess I better tell you later.

Here she is, officer. That's the woman
that kidnapped my child. Kidnapped? Yes.

What the hell are you talking about?

Look here, officer.

On behalf of my neighbor, I demand an
explanation.

Shut up, you.

It's a good enough explanation for me.

Miss Woods, we have witnesses that saw
you take the child somewhere.

Without my permission.

Well, the truth is, officer, I took the
child to the doctor.

Because the mother here almost broke her
arm.

How dare you accuse me?

You don't have to believe me.

Ask Penny.

Penny, Penny, honey, I never touched
you, did I?

No, Mama.

There, you see? Come on, officer. That
woman's been abusing that child.

Now, wait a minute. Did you actually see
her do it? Well, no.

But look at the child's back.

Lady, look, I'm just a cop on the beat,
not a doctor.

Listen, maybe if you stop meddling in
my...

Now look, if this happens again, I'm
gonna have to run you in, okay?

Come on, Penny.

Uh, look here, officer.

I think I can clarify this whole
situation.

You can't clarify that outfit you're
wearing.

Yeah, but look, officer, see what
actually happened... Now, just shut up.

more word out of you, I'm gonna have to
arrest you for trying to impersonate a

Twinkie.

was lucky he left when he did.

I can't believe that woman. I mean,
accusing me of kidnapping Penny and the

people I thought we could depend on like
the police and the doctors.

They're sweeping the whole mess under
the rug.

Yeah, and the rug keeps getting lumpier.

Yeah.

Hello?

Oh, well, no, it's for you.

Hello?

Oh, Dr. Blake.

Miss Wood, ever since you left the
office, I've been thinking about you.

well, isn't that a coincidence?

I haven't been thinking about you at
all. Yeah, I deserve that cold shot.

But look, doctors get tired, too.

We're busy, we're pressured.

Sometimes we get more than we can
handle.

Oh, maybe I was a little rough on you
myself.

No, no, you were right.

You said some things that got next to
me.

So I called the police who referred me
to the State Department of Children and

Family Services.

They're sending a social worker over to
talk to you. Oh, doctor, that's

wonderful. Thank you so much.

J .J., guess what?

Penny's going to finally get some help.

Hey, how's Penny?

She'll be okay when the social worker
gets here. Oh, that's good.

But you know, it's too bad she missed
the carnival. We raised over $360 for

new library book.

That's nice.

I wonder what's happening to Penny right
now.

Maybe I should go down there and see
what's happening. Oh, you think Miss

is going to let you in?

If she don't, I'm going to knock down
the door.

If you can't, you can always use your
body to pick the lock.

Um, uh, how much money did you have to
give in refunds at the kitchen?

Where is that social worker?

Oh, Wilona, please don't worry. She'll
be here.

Oh, you're right, honey. I'm just
worried about Penny.

Hey, Gramps, what's in the box? Oh,
Wilona, these are leftovers from the

Oh, great, because I'm hungry.

22 bowls with a goldfish in each.

And I'm not that hungry.

I'll get it.

Miss Woods?

That's me.

Oh, oh, yeah.

I'm Mrs. Carpenter from the Department
of Children and Family Services.

Oh, I thought you'd never get here. Come
on. Oh, you reported a case of child

abuse? Yes, I did. This is the Evans
family.

I'll take you to where Penny lives. Oh,
no, no. First, I need some information.

Now, oh, Dr. Blake, he told me that I
could get that from you.

Well, the information you need is on the
child's back, and we're wasting time.

I do have to fill out these forms.

Oh, could I have a glass of water,
please? I've been asking questions all

long, and my throat is dry.

Oh,

on the rock?

Now, what is the full name of the
complainant?

The who?

Oh, oh, me, me, Wilona Woods.

Is that Miss, Mrs., or Miss?

Honey, take your pick.

Here we go.

What? Miss, Mrs., or Miss Woods? I mean,
this complaint goes to the court. I

must fill it out.

Oh, thank you.

Middle initial.

None.

And this is where you live?

Yes.

think that we should, um, hustle our,
um... Let's hustle our bucks, here we

Yeah, here's where Penny and her mother
live.

Hey, what's happening here?

Where's Penny and her mother?

It's gone.

Gone? Yeah, she packed up and took the
kid with her.

J .D., what's gonna happen to her now?

Just looking out of the window, watching
the asphalt roll,

thinking how it all looks when you die.

Good times, good times,

keeping your head above water, making a
wave when you can.

Good times is videotape in front of a
studio audience.
