There's no place like home.

With your family around you, you're never alone.

When you know that you love, you don't need to roam.

Cause there's no place like home.

Times are changing every day.

We won't get by with those same old ways. No, no.

Pulled in together, we'll make it right.

With help from our friends, I know we can fly. Cause there's no place like

With your family around you, you're never alone.

When you know that you're loved, you don't need to roam.

Cause there ain't no place like. Better believe it. There ain't no place like.

Better believe it. Cause there ain't no place like.

There's.

I mean, no place, child.

think

it's time for the annual church fundraiser. You two are going to sing,

going to get stuck for tickets.

Doc, honey, didn't you see the little dance routine we just worked out?

Oh, is that what y 'all was doing? Dancing?

Master!

Honey, we are rehearsing for the audition tomorrow.

Well, you better not overdo it because your voice is going.

Think of it as sexy.

Besides, we have to be good. Emma's in charge again.

Every year we sing and every year she makes us audition again.

Why? Because she wants to play big shot producer.

I ought to knock off the church steeple.

Mary, that's cruel.

How about a little crazy glue on her knees just before she kneels to pray?

Well, you ladies have to excuse me. I have to change. Now, if you want to hear

some real singing, you'll have to hear me in the shower.

All right, let's start again.

Just about, just about, just about to lose my... I wonder if Gladys Knight has

to put up with all these interruptions.

Finally showed up. I'm sorry. My dentist was running late.

Cavity? Lunch.

Look, Sandra, we're a trio.

Be late one more time. We're a duo.

You better sit down, Mary. I got some bad news.

I'm not going to be part of the trio anymore.

What? Thank you, Lord.

I'll talk to you, Rose.

Emma asked me to do my solo act this year.

She said my voice is very special and should be drowned out by harsher sounds.

Harsher sounds?

Listen, we never wanted you to sing with us in the first place.

You got down on your knees and begged to sing with us.

I did not get down on my knees. Did I, Rose? Not in that dress you didn't.

Look, Sandra, we rehearsed as a trio.

Tomorrow we have to audition as a trio.

Now, at the last minute, we have to change everything because of you. You're

thankless, thoughtless person, Sandra.

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, Mary, but I have to get on with my future.

You're lucky. You've already lived your life.

I mean, it's an insult to be auditioning every year. Who put Emma in charge,

anyway? I mean, the closest she's ever got to show business was waiving that

dollar bill just before she put it in the collection plate.

Well, Mary, we've been through this before. One more time isn't going to

Oh, here she comes. Now stay cool.

If she says one word, one snide remark.

Hi, Mary.

That's it.

Mary.

Mary. Rose.

What are you two doing here?

What are we doing here? We're auditioning.

Auditioning? Oh, don't be silly. You two don't have to audition.

We don't? No.

You're both so wonderful, you're automatically on the show.

What are you up to?

Mary, I know we've had our disagreement, and I feel terrible about it. I hope

you'll accept my hand in friendship.

Thank you.

You're a good person.

Now, there's something very important I want to talk to you about. Here it

comes.

Mary, I've been in charge of this show for seven years.

Now it's time for someone else to take over. Someone like you, Mary.

You want me to take over?

That's wonderful.

Isn't that wonderful, Mary?

Mary, please say yes.

It would be a blessing to the church.

Say yes.

Yes.

Good.

Hi, Emma.

Sandra. I bought four songs to sing. You can decide which one you like. Of

course, that'll be hard because I sing all four wonderfully.

But if you can't decide, I can sing all of them.

Sandra, I'm no longer in charge.

You'll have to discuss this with Mary.

Mary?

Mary who?

Oh, I'm beginning to like this job already.

We'll talk about this later when you're in a better mood.

I don't think I've ever been in a better mood.

Oh, this is so much fun.

And we have so much wonderful talent at the church. I know.

I mean, just the choir alone get a highlight every year. Oh, didn't I

Oh, our choir isn't available.

No, they're singing for the Church of the Nazarene that night. But fret not.

I've lined up some wonderful talent for you.

Here we go, champ.

Roll on.

Yeah. Attaboy.

Roll on.

All right.

Watch me now. Here we go. Ready?

good Emma did it to me again.

Will you calm down? It'll all work out. All work out? A dog act where the man

rolls over?

A man playing the comb and blowing dandruff all over the first row?

Those are the headliners.

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

Go to your room.

What do I do?

I may be saying some words that you don't know I know.

I may be saying some words that I don't know I know.

Oh, you mean the trouble you're having with the show.

How did you know about that?

over the neighborhood.

People are starting to discount the tickets.

Oh, honey, what am I going to do?

Oh, my goodness. What was that? Sounds like somebody hit somebody.

Oh, look at that big, long, beautiful car.

Well, it's a lot shorter now.

I wonder if anybody's hurt.

Doesn't look like it. Hey, if you need to use the phone or you need some help,

come.

Go down. She's on the way up here.

Doctor, I want to talk to Mary.

Go on in. She's right in there.

And what do you want?

I heard the auditions were very discouraging. I'm so sorry.

When you're through being sorry, get to the point.

I just thought you might like to reconsider my solo performance.

Okay, you can do a song.

One. I got a better idea.

You know how Lena Horne does her one -woman show?

Uh -huh.

And you are one woman who is definitely not doing it.

Oh, Mary, come on. Now think twice.

A dog act where the man rolls over and then... Forget it.

I'll get this job done with the Lord's help.

Oh, you're expecting a miracle, huh? Well, you're going to need it.

Right this way, fellas.

Mary, you know, guess who's here?

I know who's here, honey. Three poor men who've had an accident.

Oh, you're bleeding.

It's just a scratch.

Mary, I'm trying to tell you something.

Well, not now, honey. Up, sit down.

Sit, sit. You could be in shock.

Mary, this Arlene Melvin and Otis are the Temptations.

Hush your mouth.

Yes, it is.

You are?

Yes, we are.

Oh, my God, the Temptations. In the flesh, darling.

Father, did you hear that? The Temptations right in our living room.

who told you.

Are you sure?

Well,

the Lord delivered.

Now all I gotta do is get him on the show.

Here, I'll take care of that finger for you.

She just wants to tell the world she saved your life.

Oh, it stopped bleeding.

We'll see if we can't start it again.

Oh, don't bother.

Honey, the story I tell my grandchildren will be a doozy.

Well, would you like some hot coffee, maybe a sandwich?

Coffee might be nice, if it's no trouble. Oh, it's no problem.

Mary, I guess we'd like some coffee.

My pleasure. No, it's our pleasure to be here, really.

Mary, the coffee.

Hurry it up.

Yes, I forgot.

It's just that I have so many things on my mind. Running a house, taking care of

my little family, sharing a church benefit, getting acts, singers... Mary,

get the coffee.

Let's get the coffee.

You know, you boys have it all.

Look, personality, talent.

But there's only one thing missing.

A female singer with all of the above. You know what I mean?

There's no way the Temptations are going to do that show.

Those guys are big time. They're booked solid.

Honey, the Lord didn't crack up their car for nothing.

Mary, the Lord didn't crack up that car unless he was driving a Buick.

It won't do any harm to ask.

Mom, Mom, do you know who is in our living room?

No. The Temptations!

No.

They had an accident in their car.

That's terrific!

Here, serve the coffee.

Well, first let me get them to autograph my album. Hold it, hold it.

First you help your mom with the coffee, then you get the autograph.

Come on.

Anybody would think you'd never seen a celebrity before.

Oh, not those, honey, the good cops.

I wouldn't have to be in the center of the group, you know.

I could be off to the side.

You know, doing the moves, you know.

bathrooms down the hall.

Well, the auto club is on the way.

Can you autograph this for me, please? Brenda, don't bother them. Hey, when

stop bothering us, man, then we're out of business.

Thank you.

Oh, that's Calvin. I told him to bring up his album.

You did what?

Grandma, I take care of my own albums. First child, I don't want you to strain

yourself.

Hi, I'm Calvin Downs.

What it is, is ladies first, Junior.

I'm Pearl Shea, president of your local fan club.

What fan club? The one I'm going to start tomorrow.

Calvin, Pearl, thanks for dropping by. Just leave the albums. If they have a

chance, they'll sign them. You try to make us leave. Yes.

That's fine.

I'm married. Look who I found lost in the hallway. The rest of the

Ron and Richard.

Oh, this is my friend Rose.

And this is Melvin, Otis, and Ollie. Hello, nice to meet you.

What's that?

Oh, this is their hubcap. They autographed it for me. I give you a

Oh, listen.

Would you like some coffee? Sure. Great.

Tell me something.

Do you guys ever do church benefits? Hey, Mary.

Do you have any mail you want me to pick up? My goodness, the temptations. I

didn't know they were here. Could you take a picture?

Ladies.

Jesus, man.

Lester, come on.

Hey, hey, hey, all right, let's go, everybody. Come on, they had an accident

the car. Give them a chance to breathe. Let's go.

Come on, let's go. Out, out, out. Everybody out. Hey, come on, bro, out.

I go through rain, sleet, and dark at night for you again.

What? Daddy.

I'm sorry, sir.

Maybe now we can relax.

You'll have to excuse them. They do love you so.

Oh, that's nice.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. I'm getting some bad vibes.

Okay, out.

Out.

Mary, is this any way to treat a guest?

When the guest is a pest, yes.

Don't forget my offer to join your group, boys. My number's 555 -3764.

I tell you, that woman is ridiculous.

Say, what was that number again?

I think we better go downstairs, fellas.

Oh, no, you're not leaving.

Yeah, but thanks. You've been wonderful.

Well, before you go, I have a little something I want to ask you. Sure, sure.

Well, see, we're having this church benefit, and so I was wondering, I know

a lot to ask, but what do you think?

She's trying to ask if you'd be available to sing at the church

week from Saturday. I already told her that's crazy.

Yes, sir.

A week from Saturday.

A week from... What's on the calendar?

Nothing. That gig in Richmond was canceled, wasn't it?

She's been so cool with us, man. I mean, that's the least we can do. I think we

can do it.

Oh, my goodness. You can do it. You can do it. Oh, thank you. Hey, hey. You

saved my life, remember?

Mary, can I talk to you?

Oh, what's a little cloud on a day like today?

I've been thinking.

It wasn't fair of me to drop out of the trio.

So I've come back.

Oh, Sandra, I thought you'd join the Temptations.

Oh, no, my loyalty to my friends, you and Mary.

They didn't call you. That too.

Now, what do you think, Rose?

Oh, come on.

Oh, Mary, think about it. In a trio, you can be in the middle.

doesn't care about that.

Speak for yourself.

Well, somebody wants some more tickets. Ooh, the money keeps rolling in.

Hello?

Yes, hi.

It's Otis from The Temptation. Oh, he's calling me.

Psych!

Hi.

Yes, oh, everything's gonna be a sellout.

Uh -huh.

Oh.

No, no, that's okay. We understand.

No, no, don't worry. We've got a wonderful dog act.

Yeah, well, it's all right.

Say hello to the fellas.

Bye -bye.

They're not going to be here? No.

While they were promising to be here Saturday, their agent was booking them

Chicago on the same night.

What are we going to do? We've sold all those tickets.

I know.

Well, they're predicting a big storm. Maybe nobody will show up.

Maybe you shouldn't show up.

What if that dumb dog can learn to roll over in four days?

I doubt it. He's got fleas and don't even know how to scratch.

Well, in answer to your question, yes, you are back in the trio.

Because we are all we've got.

Well, come on, let's start rehearsing and let's do it like we mean it.

and wondering how I knew.

Very much. And now for our 12th number.

Bring back the dog ass. Yes!

You're getting hostile.

You want to do your solo?

Mm -mm.

I'm safer behind you two.

We better keep singing and moving. We're harder to hit that way.

I thought you guys were in Chicago.

Yeah, we're supposed to leave at 6 o 'clock, but... The weather was so foul,

they canceled the flight.

So here we are. So if we can have some room, we can get started.

Ladies and gentlemen, and Emma, the temptation.

The Lord just canceled their flight.

Baby, that flight was canceled by the control tower because of the weapon.

And who do you think controlled the weapon?

Okay, baby.
