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. Pulling together, we'll

it right.

With help from our friends, I know we can fly. But 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.

I mean, no play child.

I am so tired of sweeping dirt off of the soup.

Then don't sweep.

Plant something.

Well, you sure are in a good mood today.

Oh, it's that grandson of mine.

Calvin's in the doghouse again, huh? I swear that boy's gonna make me old

my time.

Have you ever tried to control a 17 -year -old boy? Of course I have. That's

old Lester was when I met him.

I'm serious, Mary.

Calvin was invited Saturday night to a party.

And he was supposed to be home by 12 o 'clock.

But he came in at 2 and didn't even call.

He didn't call you? Mm -mm.

Oh, and I bet you sat up waiting for him, too.

Have you ever sat so Godzilla eats Pittsburgh?

Godzilla eats almost as much as Calvin.

Calvin.

Hey, Grandma, check this out.

Just be kind. Just be good.

Because I am the king of this neighborhood.

Uh -huh.

Uh -huh, uh -huh, uh -huh, uh -huh. Where have you been?

Oh, me and Benny stopped at the record store to pick up this new rap song.

I ain't Joe Mama.

Will you listen to this?

If you don't get home on time, you're going to get a rap on your behind.

Uh -huh, uh -huh.

Grandma. You've been grounded. And besides, I want you to stop running with

Benny. I'm old enough to pick my own friends.

When you bring home somebody with earrings, I want it to be a girl.

Calvin, it's Dad.

Well, I'll be Roy Dawes. I can't believe you're here.

Look at you. It's hard to believe you got that big on Pearl's cooking.

Watch it, fly boy.

Hey, Pearl.

You're looking better and better.

You know, I liked this boy the first time my daughter brought him home.

Hey, Mary Rose.

How you doing? Oh, just fine.

Are you two holding down this duke? Oh, yeah. We can't let it fly away.

Well, it's good to see you again. Where are you in from this time? I flew in

from Iceland.

They gave me a couple of weeks to thaw out.

A hot water bottle would have been cheaper.

Afternoon, ladies.

Guess where I'm going today?

If I don't get a better offer, I just love

a man in a uniform.

This is my father, Miss Clark. Oh, I've heard about you. Hi.

I'm fine.

I'm Roy.

I'm impressed.

Who are any of these for good conduct?

Not a one.

That's encouraging.

Maybe we can get together. I'll show you some sights.

Our dad's going to be spending all his time with me.

Rain chair?

Oh.

So. According to your letters, you're a hot shot basketball player now. Is that

true? I'm already practicing my autograph.

You think you can take your old man?

I got the ball right inside, Grandma.

Okay, sentence suspended.

All right.

See you all later. Okay, bye -bye.

Bye -bye. So I lost my squadron, and my instruments were out. I threw low to

avoid radar, but the ground fire was fierce. I did a barrel roll, and then I

gone. It's close. Real close. Now, you've been everywhere and done

haven't you? Except raise you. Now, that's real combat.

That's one for you, Pearl.

Hey, you guys better get started. You're going to miss the game. Yeah, we don't

want to miss the tip -off.

Sure you don't want to come with us, Lester? No, thanks. You two should spend

some time together.

Roy, don't spoil him rotten, okay?

About half rotten.

Oh, that reminds me. Tomorrow afternoon, we're going to see the Blue Angels fly.

They're Navy, but we won't hold that against them. I know a couple of the

Maybe I can get you a ride.

With the Blue Angels? I can't believe it. Grandma, did you hear that? What

school tomorrow?

Now, Pearl, one day out is not going to hurt a boy who's making straight A's.

Straight A's?

No, we better get going, Dad.

We'll be late.

Bye -bye.

Have a good time.

They sure look like they have fun together.

Are you saying you wish you had a son, Daddy?

No, I'm not saying that. I'm glad, because I have retired from that job.

Oh, I don't know about that.

I do.

You know, I don't think I like the way Roy's spoiling that boy.

He's just trying to make up for a little lost time.

There's a lot of love between them. I know, but ever since Calvin's mother

Pearl's got the job of teaching him responsibility.

But I don't mind.

But every time Roy comes to town, it's fun, fun, fun.

It's like a free day at Woolworth's.

I know what you mean.

You're making too much of it. A week's worth of spoiling isn't going to hurt

anybody. Dad, I'm glad you said that. Because I was looking at this catalog.

Sorry, Brenda, this isn't your week.

Hi. Hi, Sergeant. Anybody seen Calvin's father?

Yeah, he's in Virginia giving a lecture.

I want to take a picture with him.

Ooh, Maurice will get so jealous if he thinks I know a jet pilot.

Why? He knows your scars are friendly.

Calvin's dad is a handsome man.

So's my daddy.

Want to see a picture of him? Yeah.

I got it right here.

See?

Ooh, he is a handsome man.

Oh, no, that's not my daddy.

That's the bank president. My date for the senior prom.

That's my daddy.

And me when I was four. Ain't you lucky? Yeah.

Yeah, you were a cute little girl.

You think so, Mary?

Too much eye makeup, but you were cute.

Thank you, Mary.

I was finally getting the hang of it.

Pearl,

what are you up to?

I'm going to clean my window.

Why don't you let Calvin do it? He was supposed to do it two days ago.

But he's been so busy partying with that flyboy father.

I don't need Calvin.

At least you cleaned your carpet.

Oh, I'm not in a mood for kidding, Mary.

Calvin is driving me crazy.

Ever since his father's been here, he's been trying to act like a big shot.

This is nothing, I say. I'm just a grumpy grandma.

Well, look who finally got here.

Uh -oh.

What you doing, Grandma?

I told you I'd clean the windows.

I couldn't wait.

You did a great job. I could hardly see the glass.

When your father leaves, you are back on punishment.

Okay. Hey, Calvin.

Hey, guy.

You want to go and grab a pizza with us?

Sounds good, and today it's on me. All right.

Grandma wants you to meet a couple of buddies of mine, Bill and Ron.

Hi, Bill. Hi, Ron.

Bye, Bill. Bye, Ron.

Grandma, what's eating you?

What's eating me is that you've been eating too much junk food.

Well, I'd be old enough to eat what I want by now.

And I'm old enough to bop your head so hard, you'll make a smurf look tall.

I say, guys, I'll catch up with y 'all later.

I won't count on that, man.

Yeah, give us a call when you can come out and play.

Grandma, how could you do that to me in front of my friends?

I'm 17 years old.

17 years dumb. That's what you are.

See, Dad doesn't treat me like I'm a kid.

Now you listen to me.

As long as you're living under my roof, you're going to live by my rules.

Now you get in there.

There's chores to do.

What's going on?

I'm tired of hearing about her roof and her rules.

She want to pick my friends, want to know where I'm going, when I'm coming

I know one thing. It's time for me to get my own place.

Take out the trash.

Pick up your clothes. Don't lie on your back while you're sleeping.

How am I supposed to know how I'm lying while I'm sleeping?

She's always behind those cheap bags.

You never make the bullets with a shot like that.

Dad, am I glad to see you.

I just got back from my lecture. How's it going? Fine.

I just got a great idea.

How about if I go live with you in Iceland?

What? We'd have a lot of fun together. We could make up for lost time.

You know, it's not a bad idea.

Of course, introducing you as my son might cramp my style with the ladies.

Hey, tell them I'm your brother. I got caught in a time machine.

I know a couple of ladies that just might buy that.

So, when do you want to come up? After graduation?

Why don't I just go back with you?

Isn't this kind of sudden?

I'm a dove.

We're men of action.

Well, we'll see.

One question.

You're not going to try to steal my ladies, are you? Are they fine? Yeah.

Come on, let's get this garbage out.

Then he said he was going to leave home.

You don't think he was serious, do you? I don't know, honey. Boys do some

strange things.

What do you mean, boys do strange things?

Boys do normal, natural things. It's the girls who do that strange stuff.

You talking about me?

Or me?

I'm talking about females in general.

You're always telling men how we ought to be.

We're already like we ought to be, and we're just fine.

Why do you think the Lord made Adam first?

So he could clear up his mistakes before he made Eve.

He made Eve because Adam was sitting around having a good time and needed

somebody to drive him up the wall.

Did you have a bad day today, Daddy? Yes, I did.

This place I'm building?

The wife wants the bedroom where the bathroom is and the bathroom where the

garage is. If I do everything, she wants the fireplace to be in the closet.

The husband is ready to shoot himself, but she already made a lamp out of his

gun.

Whoa!

Brenda, get to bear his steak.

And serve it raw.

I'll get it.

Guess what? I'm going to Iceland with my dad.

Great!

We're leaving next week. We're catching an Air Force jet.

Just like that?

What about me? I thought we had an understanding.

What understanding?

We had an understanding that when I was old enough, we'd have an understanding.

Brent, I'd take you with me, but I think your father would kill me.

You're a straight -thinking kid, Captain.

I'm going to miss you, but it sounds very exciting.

He's going to be with his dad. What could be better than that?

years of my life.

I know this is hard to believe, Brenda, but you'll get over it. Yeah, when?

What time is it now?

Mom?

Calvin, you know it's pretty cold up there in Iceland.

Oh, I love the cold. When I go to the market, I always stick my face in the

frozen food section.

But you don't know anybody up there. You won't have any friends.

I'll be fine. Dad says there's a gym on base, a theater, school, even some

girls.

Maybe you was wrong about the girl. I couldn't care less.

You could care less?

Then why did you step on my foot?

I don't understand women.

God tried to recall them, but they wouldn't go.

Sounds like a great adventure to me, Calvin.

Yeah, I can't wait.

Well, what is Pearl saying about all this?

She said good riddance. Went in her room and slammed the door.

Well, I gotta start packing. I have a lot of childhood stuff I have to throw

away. Oh, friend, maybe you'd like to.

Ow!

Rose. Yes? Have you seen Pearl?

No. You know, she hasn't been in her window once today.

She hasn't been in her window ever since Calvin said he was leaving.

Now, I think she's taking this pretty hard.

I knocked on her door, but there was no answer. I'm worried about her. Well,

maybe she went shopping.

What? During days of our lives?

Wait, where are you going?

I'm going to see if she's in there. Mary, what are you doing?

Now be careful.

Farrah!

Farrah!

She doesn't answer.

Climb in and look in the bedroom.

Okay. Be careful now.

You have the right to remain silent.

Rose, tell me that's Lester. It's Lester.

Oh, hi, honey.

Um, I guess you're wondering what I'm doing, huh? Yeah, because we already got

TV.

Lester, come on now.

You put on weight?

Lester, we were worried. We want to make sure Pearl's all right.

Of course she's all right.

How do you know she's not in there doing something terrible to herself?

Because here she comes, right down the street.

Bye.

Hi, girls.

Pearl, where have you been?

I just booked myself on a cruise.

A cruise?

In the Caribbean.

Now that Calvin's leaving, I'm going to start living.

I got on one of those love boats, dancing, romancing, breaking a few

Oh, I hear they have a lot of activities.

Aerobics, shuffleboard, bridge lessons.

Oh.

Oh. Oh.

Those are nice things.

Oh.

I'll teach you all my new moves. Okay.

You teaching her to dance?

Who said anything about dancing? Right, Pearl?

Well,

Pearl doesn't seem to be taking Calvin's leavings too hard after all. Oh, don't

you believe it. She's just bluffing.

Well, it's not a happy occasion, but I guess the least I could do is give

a going -away party. Oh, that's nice, Mary. Well, excuse me.

Oh, wait a minute. Where are you going? I'm going up with Pearl to learn some

Sondra's moves.

Oh, Mary, Mary, Mary.

Hi, Mrs. Jenkins.

Oh, hi.

Look what my dad brought.

Well, you finally got the right size lunchbox.

Mrs. Jenkins, we got our Langley field, and we ate lunch at the officer's club.

I'm going to put it in my room.

How's it going, Mary?

Right.

You know, I'm kind of worried about Pearl.

Calvin's leaving is going to be kind of rough on her.

Huh. She seems happy about it. Maybe she needs a break.

Roy, she's raised Calvin since he was three.

She's been through hurts, scraped knees, disappointment.

Why, she saves every masterpiece he's brought home from school. And I'm

about from kindergarten.

Do you really think she'll be happy about him leaving?

Anyway,

think about it.

Calvin.

Mary was just telling me that your grandmother's unhappy about you leaving.

Oh, she's a dad, ain't that?

Maybe, but we all... Dad, you're not changing your mind, are you? No, I want

with me.

There's no argument there.

It's just that we owe a lot to your grandmother.

After your mother died, I don't know what we would have done without her.

But lately, all we do is fight.

It doesn't mean you don't love each other.

I fought with my parents, too.

And one day, they were gone before I was smart enough to know how much I owed

them. And that's always bothered me.

But there's nothing here for me.

Well, how about your friends and all the stuff you're into?

I have some great times, but there's a lot of dull times, too.

Winter in Iceland is no bed of roses.

And a lot of times you'll be doing it alone.

But I want to be with you.

And I want to be with you.

Pearl, how about a devil day?

No, thank you. I'm not hungry.

Well, do you want something to drink?

I'm not thirsty.

I don't know why I'm here. I ought to be home packing for my crew.

Oh, Pearl, that's not for two weeks.

I'm a slow packer.

By the way, I want to thank you for looking after Calvin all these years.

Oh, forget it. Glad to do it. He's a very nice kid.

So you and Calvin are going to be a team, huh?

Yeah, he wants to go.

I guess the time we really got to know each other.

I kind of hate taking him away from Pearl, though.

Yeah, he means a lot to her, but don't worry about Pearl. She's family. We'll

look out for her. You just remember to visit. Right.

I'm leaving.

Oh, Pearl, come on. You can't do that. This is Calvin's going -away party.

You've been long here.

He don't want me here.

Oh, Pearl, come on. Yes, he does.

Lester. Now, come on, Pearl. You are not going anywhere.

Watch it, Lester. Now, don't let me have to hurt you.

He's coming. He's coming. Come on, now. Come on

in, Calvin.

Brenda, you know the rules.

I can't come in unless you folks are home. It's all right.

Come on.

At least turn the lights on.

I will soon. First, I have a surprise for you.

Brenda Jenkins, what got into you?

Come on, Calvin.

Surprise!

He tricked me. Used your feminine wiles to get me up here.

Well, we had to get you up here some way.

What feminine wiles?

I'll explain it to you later, dear.

Come on, Brenda. Help me get the food.

Dad, you know about this, too?

Why didn't you tell me? I don't have to tell you everything.

I remember my first surprise party. This boy took me to a dark apartment,

flipped the light switch, and guess what? The switch didn't work.

I can't believe I'm doing this. What?

Giving a going -away party for Calvin.

Every cheese ball is like a stab in the heart.

Was this your idea, Grandma?

It wasn't mine.

I got tricked into it the same way you did.

Oh.

Well, now that everybody's here, could I have your attention?

We're here to celebrate good news and bad news.

The good news is Calvin and his dad are getting together again.

The bad news is he's leaving us and we're all going to miss him.

I never thought I'd say this, Calvin, but you know what I'm going to miss

You plucking my nerves.

And that grin and face.

When he was born, he weighed six pounds, eight ounces. Most of that was teeth.

Oh, what I'm going to miss most about Calvin is his break dancing.

You know, the doctor took x -rays of Calvin's body and it showed no bones.

Oh, but I'm going to miss your politeness to women.

You are always so kind and considerate and helpful.

And if I had a daughter, I wouldn't trust her with you for a minute.

Yeah, I'm going to miss going to the games with him. Remember that great

Celtics game?

Oh, don't remind me.

He ate so many hot dogs, we had to leave early to get his stomach pumped.

But seriously, though, I feel like I'm losing a son.

And I'm wishing you the very best.

Brenda, what are you going to miss most about Calvin?

I'm just going to miss him, that's all.

I know I'm not old enough to have boyfriends yet, but if I could, Calvin

be my first.

And even if there are others, Calvin would be the one I'll always remember.

This is for you, Calvin.

But you can't open it until you get to Iceland.

Did you see that?

It was just a kip on the cheek.

What was in the box?

I don't know.

Well, shouldn't we know? What difference does it make? He's going to be in

Iceland, she's going to be here.

Pearl, isn't there something you want to say to Calvin?

Come on, Pearl. Come on, Pearl.

Well, Calvin, I feel a lot like Brenda.

Your leaving is very painful.

But don't get me wrong, son.

I'm happy that you're going to be with your dad.

I guess I have been a little strict.

And I'm sorry.

It's because I love you so much.

You're the most important person in my whole life.

And I want you to always be the best you can be.

And if you don't write me a letter every week, I'm going to fly to Iceland and

spank your behind.

Let's have a speech.

Let's have a speech.

Well,

I'm not much good at this.

I heard that line before.

Well, first I'd like to thank you for the party and the presents.

I'm a little lucky to have friends like you.

Oh, friends is the wrong word.

Family is what you are. My family.

I never realized that until now.

Dad, I've waited a long time to be with you.

It's something I've always dreamed about.

But, well... Grandma, I know I've driven you crazy, and sometimes you want to

give up on me.

But if you don't mind putting up with me a little while longer, I think I'm

going to stay right here.

Oh!

Maybe later, Dad.

I still love you.

I love you, too, son.

Well...

Looks like my boy just became a man.

Hey, this party's dull.

I'm gonna put on some music so y 'all can dance.

Uh, Calvin, you had your shot. Let me get my turn.

Isn't that wonderful? He's sane.

Yeah, wonderful.

Now let's see what's in that box.
