22
00:01:25,282 --> 00:01:26,692
Bad day, huh?
23
00:01:26,716 --> 00:01:28,784
What makes you say that?
24
00:01:30,220 --> 00:01:32,498
Oh, just a wild guess.
25
00:01:32,522 --> 00:01:35,068
You wanna tell me about it?
26
00:01:35,092 --> 00:01:36,169
No.
27
00:01:36,193 --> 00:01:37,203
Oh, come on, George.
28
00:01:37,227 --> 00:01:39,538
Talking about it will
make you feel better.
29
00:01:39,562 --> 00:01:41,540
No, I won't, because
if I tell you about it,
30
00:01:41,564 --> 00:01:42,976
I can't help overhearing myself
31
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,520
and I don't wanna
hear about it again.
32
00:01:46,136 --> 00:01:47,613
Then tell it to me fast.
33
00:01:47,637 --> 00:01:49,783
Then you won't have
time to listen to yourself.
34
00:01:49,807 --> 00:01:51,517
Okay, you asked for it.
35
00:01:51,541 --> 00:01:53,486
Two girls called in sick
from my Queens store,
36
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:55,288
the transmission went
out on one of my vans,
37
00:01:55,312 --> 00:01:57,757
the cleaning machine up in
the Bronx store broke down,
38
00:01:57,781 --> 00:01:59,659
the income tax people
wanted to audit my books
39
00:01:59,683 --> 00:02:00,927
and the accountant broke down,
40
00:02:00,951 --> 00:02:03,129
then I come home to a wife
who keeps pressuring me
41
00:02:03,153 --> 00:02:04,463
to hear the whole story.
42
00:02:04,487 --> 00:02:07,366
I think you could use a drink.
43
00:02:07,390 --> 00:02:09,535
Let Florence get it.
44
00:02:09,559 --> 00:02:11,171
She's not here.
It's her day off.
45
00:02:11,195 --> 00:02:15,141
Oh! That's the first good
news I've heard all day.
46
00:02:15,165 --> 00:02:17,743
What are we having
for dinner? Guess.
47
00:02:17,767 --> 00:02:20,814
Guess? Weezy, look, I ain't in
the mood for no 20 questions.
48
00:02:20,838 --> 00:02:22,015
Just tell me what we're having.
49
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:24,984
I said guest. Dinner guest.
50
00:02:25,008 --> 00:02:26,219
Dinner guest?
51
00:02:26,243 --> 00:02:27,821
How come I don't
know nothing about this?
52
00:02:27,845 --> 00:02:29,222
I didn't know
anything about it either
53
00:02:29,246 --> 00:02:30,589
'til your mother came over.
54
00:02:30,613 --> 00:02:31,958
Oh. Mama's here?
55
00:02:31,982 --> 00:02:34,460
Since 10:00 this morning.
56
00:02:34,484 --> 00:02:38,286
Do you wanna hear about my day?
57
00:02:39,789 --> 00:02:41,000
No, no, no, no.
58
00:02:41,024 --> 00:02:42,001
How's she feeling?
59
00:02:42,025 --> 00:02:43,536
Still complaining.
60
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,670
Oh, about her broken ankle?
61
00:02:44,694 --> 00:02:46,105
No, about me.
62
00:02:46,129 --> 00:02:48,174
She may be hobbling
around on a cane,
63
00:02:48,198 --> 00:02:51,211
but her mouth is
still going full speed.
64
00:02:51,235 --> 00:02:52,445
Where is she?
65
00:02:52,469 --> 00:02:53,546
In the kitchen.
66
00:02:53,570 --> 00:02:55,348
She invited a friend for dinner
67
00:02:55,372 --> 00:02:58,251
and she wants to make
sure everything's perfect.
68
00:02:58,275 --> 00:02:59,953
A friend? What friend?
69
00:02:59,977 --> 00:03:02,255
I don't know. Your mother
wants to surprise us.
70
00:03:02,279 --> 00:03:05,725
All she said was it's an
old friend from out of town.
71
00:03:05,749 --> 00:03:09,362
Oh, no. I bet you
it's that Rose Filbert.
72
00:03:09,386 --> 00:03:10,930
Rose Filbert?
73
00:03:10,954 --> 00:03:13,066
Yeah. Her and Mom used
to do everything together
74
00:03:13,090 --> 00:03:14,500
'til Rose moved to Atlanta.
75
00:03:14,524 --> 00:03:17,959
I wish they'd done
that together too.
76
00:03:19,229 --> 00:03:20,974
I never could stand
that Rose Filbert.
77
00:03:20,998 --> 00:03:21,975
Why not?
78
00:03:21,999 --> 00:03:23,209
Well, when I was a kid
79
00:03:23,233 --> 00:03:25,611
she always used to run up
and grab my cheeks like this
80
00:03:25,635 --> 00:03:27,013
and say "How you
doing, Georgie Porgie?"
81
00:03:27,037 --> 00:03:29,048
Ow! That hurts!
82
00:03:29,072 --> 00:03:30,972
I know it hurts! That's
why I didn't like her.
83
00:03:33,410 --> 00:03:35,889
Look, Weezy, I'm gonna
sack out right after dinner
84
00:03:35,913 --> 00:03:37,490
so I'm gonna leave it up to you
85
00:03:37,514 --> 00:03:38,925
to entertain Mom and
her cheek-pinching friend.
86
00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:41,361
Oh, no, you don't, George!
87
00:03:41,385 --> 00:03:45,031
It's your mother, your mother's
friend. You entertain them!
88
00:03:45,055 --> 00:03:46,933
Oh, come on,
Weezy. I'm too tired.
89
00:03:46,957 --> 00:03:48,134
There's no way in the world
90
00:03:48,158 --> 00:03:50,069
I could be my
normal, charming self.
91
00:03:50,093 --> 00:03:52,272
Well, don't tell me.
92
00:03:52,296 --> 00:03:54,507
Tell it to your mother.
93
00:03:54,531 --> 00:03:56,064
Okay, I will.
94
00:03:57,367 --> 00:04:01,180
Oh, Mother Jefferson,
the broccoli is burning!
95
00:04:01,204 --> 00:04:02,448
Why didn't you call me?
96
00:04:02,472 --> 00:04:04,350
I've eaten here before.
97
00:04:04,374 --> 00:04:06,808
I figured that's
the way you cook.
98
00:04:10,713 --> 00:04:12,959
Hiya, Mama!
99
00:04:12,983 --> 00:04:15,650
Oh, thank you, George.
100
00:04:18,155 --> 00:04:20,033
I can't taste the vodka.
101
00:04:20,057 --> 00:04:21,401
That's 'cause it's Scotch.
102
00:04:21,425 --> 00:04:24,103
George, you know I don't
like Scotch. I like bloody marys.
103
00:04:24,127 --> 00:04:25,104
Sorry, Mama.
104
00:04:25,128 --> 00:04:26,372
Never mind.
105
00:04:26,396 --> 00:04:29,175
Since it's here, I'll
struggle through it.
106
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:30,843
Uh, look, Mom.
107
00:04:30,867 --> 00:04:32,278
I hope you won't feel bad
108
00:04:32,302 --> 00:04:34,480
if I won't be able to entertain
you and Rose tonight.
109
00:04:34,504 --> 00:04:35,481
Rose?
110
00:04:35,505 --> 00:04:37,050
Yeah, Rose Filbert.
111
00:04:37,074 --> 00:04:40,553
Rose Filbert's coming
here? Oh, that's wonderful!
112
00:04:40,577 --> 00:04:42,455
Look, Mama, we ain't
got time for no games.
113
00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:44,991
We know you invited Rose
Filbert here for dinner tonight.
114
00:04:45,015 --> 00:04:46,292
I did not.
115
00:04:46,316 --> 00:04:47,660
Then who is it?
116
00:04:47,684 --> 00:04:51,164
That's a secret!
117
00:04:51,188 --> 00:04:52,932
Mama, you know
I don't like secrets.
118
00:04:52,956 --> 00:04:54,934
Now, if somebody's coming
here to eat up my food,
119
00:04:54,958 --> 00:04:56,336
I'd like to know who it is.
120
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,971
Well, if you must know.
121
00:04:57,995 --> 00:05:00,606
You remember the
summer you turned 17?
122
00:05:00,630 --> 00:05:01,607
Yeah.
123
00:05:01,631 --> 00:05:02,641
Remember the picture
124
00:05:02,665 --> 00:05:04,844
you kept hidden in
your bottom drawer?
125
00:05:04,868 --> 00:05:07,847
Picture... Oh! Oh, yeah.
126
00:05:07,871 --> 00:05:08,848
That wasn't my picture, Mama.
127
00:05:08,872 --> 00:05:10,483
I was just holding
that for a friend.
128
00:05:10,507 --> 00:05:11,951
What picture are
you talking about?
129
00:05:11,975 --> 00:05:13,652
Well, what picture
are you talking about?
130
00:05:13,676 --> 00:05:15,910
Mother Jefferson...
131
00:05:17,381 --> 00:05:20,826
what has all this got to
do with your secret guest?
132
00:05:20,850 --> 00:05:23,529
I'll give you another
clue, George.
133
00:05:23,553 --> 00:05:24,630
Puddin'.
134
00:05:24,654 --> 00:05:25,865
Puddin'?
135
00:05:25,889 --> 00:05:28,134
You mean you invited
Harriet Johnson over here?
136
00:05:28,158 --> 00:05:31,359
Harriet was the nicest
girl George ever dated.
137
00:05:34,331 --> 00:05:36,509
I can't remember the
last time I saw Harriet.
138
00:05:36,533 --> 00:05:41,481
That was October 21, 1945.
139
00:05:41,505 --> 00:05:43,216
That's the day she dropped you.
140
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,783
Dropped me? She didn't drop me!
141
00:05:44,807 --> 00:05:47,520
I dropped her!
142
00:05:47,544 --> 00:05:50,823
If she jilted George, why did
you invite her here for dinner?
143
00:05:50,847 --> 00:05:54,527
I want her to see what she lost
144
00:05:54,551 --> 00:05:57,318
when she dropped George.
145
00:06:00,123 --> 00:06:03,058
I can think of one
thing she didn't lose.
146
00:06:05,462 --> 00:06:07,140
Mama, when is Harriet
supposed to get here?
147
00:06:07,164 --> 00:06:08,641
In a little while.
148
00:06:08,665 --> 00:06:10,643
She's having her hair done.
149
00:06:10,667 --> 00:06:12,378
Oh, Louise, that reminds me.
150
00:06:12,402 --> 00:06:16,349
That'll give you just enough
time to put something nice on.
151
00:06:16,373 --> 00:06:19,618
I've got something nice on.
152
00:06:19,642 --> 00:06:21,909
Underneath?
153
00:06:23,346 --> 00:06:24,757
Weezy, you look just fine.
154
00:06:24,781 --> 00:06:28,149
Love must be blind.
155
00:06:32,155 --> 00:06:33,732
What's Harriet been up to?
156
00:06:33,756 --> 00:06:36,135
Well, she's been
living in Chicago
157
00:06:36,159 --> 00:06:37,970
but she just got a divorce.
158
00:06:37,994 --> 00:06:40,473
Did you mention
what I've been doing?
159
00:06:40,497 --> 00:06:45,900
Yes, I told her you were
still married to Louise.
160
00:06:48,472 --> 00:06:50,083
Well, what did
she say about that?
161
00:06:50,107 --> 00:06:52,985
I couldn't understand
for the crying.
162
00:06:53,009 --> 00:06:54,487
[LAUGHS]
163
00:06:54,511 --> 00:06:55,621
It broke her up, huh?
164
00:06:55,645 --> 00:06:57,790
It was me crying.
165
00:06:57,814 --> 00:07:00,948
Weezy! How about a drink?
166
00:07:10,327 --> 00:07:11,704
What do you want me to make?
167
00:07:11,728 --> 00:07:14,207
Make her disappear!
168
00:07:14,231 --> 00:07:15,841
Of all the nerve!
169
00:07:15,865 --> 00:07:17,910
Asking Harriet Johnson
to come here for dinner.
170
00:07:17,934 --> 00:07:20,613
Poor Harriet. I wonder what
she's been up to these days.
171
00:07:20,637 --> 00:07:24,217
Going around
visiting old boyfriends.
172
00:07:24,241 --> 00:07:26,752
Look, Weezy, what happened
between me and Harriet
173
00:07:26,776 --> 00:07:28,221
was a long time ago
174
00:07:28,245 --> 00:07:30,123
and I ain't excited
about seeing her again.
175
00:07:30,147 --> 00:07:32,492
Okay, then call
her up and cancel.
176
00:07:32,516 --> 00:07:34,460
I can't do that! Why not?
177
00:07:34,484 --> 00:07:38,297
Well... I don't know
what hairdresser she's at.
178
00:07:38,321 --> 00:07:39,565
And besides, you can see
179
00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:41,367
how much Mama's looking
forward to seeing her again.
180
00:07:41,391 --> 00:07:42,768
Where are you going?
181
00:07:42,792 --> 00:07:44,837
To get cleaned up. George!
182
00:07:44,861 --> 00:07:46,038
Oh, while I'm doing that, Weezy,
183
00:07:46,062 --> 00:07:47,507
why don't you get
our best china?
184
00:07:47,531 --> 00:07:48,874
Our best china?
185
00:07:48,898 --> 00:07:50,809
What's wrong with
our everyday dishes?
186
00:07:50,833 --> 00:07:52,833
Harriet don't come
here every day.
187
00:07:55,172 --> 00:07:56,949
Yeah, that's true.
188
00:07:56,973 --> 00:07:58,893
Where'd you put
my alligator shoes?
189
00:08:14,191 --> 00:08:15,468
George?
190
00:08:15,492 --> 00:08:17,270
Ah, Weez! I've been
looking all over for you.
191
00:08:17,294 --> 00:08:18,771
How's dinner coming?
192
00:08:18,795 --> 00:08:20,406
Fine.
193
00:08:20,430 --> 00:08:22,241
What's that smell?
194
00:08:22,265 --> 00:08:24,210
Huh? Oh!
195
00:08:24,234 --> 00:08:26,734
I accidentally spilled
a bottle of cologne.
196
00:08:27,904 --> 00:08:32,218
What did you do, wipe
it up with your face?
197
00:08:32,242 --> 00:08:34,187
Weezy, why are
you acting this way?
198
00:08:34,211 --> 00:08:36,389
You're the one
who's acting crazy.
199
00:08:36,413 --> 00:08:39,058
Twenty minutes ago, all
you wanted to do was sleep.
200
00:08:39,082 --> 00:08:40,959
Now you're running around
201
00:08:40,983 --> 00:08:42,928
like you're expecting
the Queen of England!
202
00:08:42,952 --> 00:08:44,330
Uh-oh, look, don't
tell me you're jealous
203
00:08:44,354 --> 00:08:45,831
after all these years.
204
00:08:45,855 --> 00:08:49,034
How would you like it if I
kept talking about my first love?
205
00:08:49,058 --> 00:08:50,903
I wouldn't mind a bit.
206
00:08:50,927 --> 00:08:52,771
You wouldn't?
207
00:08:52,795 --> 00:08:55,496
No, you can talk about
me as much as you want.
208
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,879
And what makes you
think you were my first love?
209
00:09:00,903 --> 00:09:02,147
Well, I was, wasn't I?
210
00:09:02,171 --> 00:09:03,916
I mean, your real first love.
211
00:09:03,940 --> 00:09:05,117
No.
212
00:09:05,141 --> 00:09:07,520
I had a picture hidden
in my drawer too.
213
00:09:07,544 --> 00:09:09,054
You did?
214
00:09:09,078 --> 00:09:10,223
Yep.
215
00:09:10,247 --> 00:09:11,390
Who was it?
216
00:09:11,414 --> 00:09:15,828
He was so handsome
and, boy, did I love him!
217
00:09:15,852 --> 00:09:18,531
You loved him and kept it a
secret from me all this time?
218
00:09:18,555 --> 00:09:19,932
You better tell me who it was.
219
00:09:19,956 --> 00:09:22,167
It was Nat.
220
00:09:22,191 --> 00:09:23,869
Nat. I should have known.
221

[LAUGHS]
222
00:09:25,194 --> 00:09:26,427
Nat who?
223
00:09:27,564 --> 00:09:30,209
Nat King Cole.
224
00:09:30,233 --> 00:09:33,346
Nat King... Oh!
225
00:09:33,370 --> 00:09:36,349
See? Who's jealous now?
226
00:09:36,373 --> 00:09:38,784
Ah, no, you see,
I'm just acting jealous
227
00:09:38,808 --> 00:09:41,320
to show you how silly it
looks if you got jealous.
228
00:09:41,344 --> 00:09:44,089
So why don't we just
forget the whole thing?
229
00:09:44,113 --> 00:09:47,081
Er, George...
230
00:09:49,486 --> 00:09:52,064
How close were you
and Harriet Johnson?
231
00:09:52,088 --> 00:09:54,133
Weezy, look, you're my only girl
232
00:09:54,157 --> 00:09:56,135
and you've always been,
since the first day we met.
233
00:09:56,159 --> 00:09:57,770
Well, that's nice to hear.

[DOORBELL RINGS]
235
00:09:59,028 --> 00:10:01,106
I mean, you know,
Harriet's just another girl.
236
00:10:01,130 --> 00:10:03,276
I mean, she wasn't
even that good-looking.
237
00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:06,078
She's probably all fat,
old and wrinkled by now.
238
00:10:06,102 --> 00:10:10,204
You know how women
age quicker than men.
239
00:10:13,376 --> 00:10:15,142
Puddin'!
240
00:10:29,292 --> 00:10:32,804
That was a wonderful
dinner. Beautifully cooked.
241

Oh, thank you!
242
00:10:40,270 --> 00:10:43,649
And I can't get over how
good you look, Mrs. Jefferson.
243
00:10:43,673 --> 00:10:47,019
You haven't changed a
bit after all these years.
244
00:10:47,043 --> 00:10:48,421
Has she, Louise?
245
00:10:48,445 --> 00:10:52,558
No. She never changes.
246
00:10:52,582 --> 00:10:53,959
How about some more
champagne, Harriet?
247
00:10:53,983 --> 00:10:55,450
Thank you.
248
00:10:56,586 --> 00:10:58,130
I would like some too, George.
249
00:10:58,154 --> 00:10:59,954
Sure, Weez.
250
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:11,544
George, you're really
living high on the hog.
251
00:11:11,568 --> 00:11:14,980
That's right. I brings home
the bacon, don't I, Weezy?

brings home the sugar.

are doing it in style.

How'd you know how much it cost?

Well, see, it's right
here on the price tag.
258
00:11:30,253 --> 00:11:33,732
Oh, that Ralph. Did he
leave the price tag on it again?
259
00:11:33,756 --> 00:11:37,836
Yes, I wonder
who made him do it.
260
00:11:37,860 --> 00:11:41,540
George, you've got gravy
running off your plate.
261

That's right, I don't even
care if it gets on the tablecloth,
262
00:11:43,966 --> 00:11:46,247
because I can clean
it at my own store.

Oh, good idea.

Ah, here's to the back seat
of Junior Wilson's De Soto.

What happened in the back
seat of Junior Wilson's De Soto?

Oh, that's where
George and I first kissed...

Held hands.

00:12:09,292 --> 00:12:12,671
Oh, well, which was it,
George? Kissed or held hands?

Both. Well... Once
we started kissing,

hold George's hands.

gotta do with cooking?

at school together?

You see, your name, Harriet,
is a variation of Henrietta.

feminine version of Henry.

nip down and pick up Charlotte?

00:15:38,167 --> 00:15:40,779
Yeah. You used to wear
those cute, fuzzy little sweaters.
352
00:15:40,803 --> 00:15:43,382
I guess it was just puppy love.
353
00:15:43,406 --> 00:15:45,886
Yeah, I loved the way
you used to wag your tail.
354
00:15:50,813 --> 00:15:52,391
And I was so proud of the way
355
00:15:52,415 --> 00:15:53,992
you'd always stand
up to those other guys
356
00:15:54,016 --> 00:15:55,126
and fight over me.
357
00:15:55,150 --> 00:15:56,528
Yeah, that's right.
I remember that.
358
00:15:56,552 --> 00:15:58,731
I used to always fight people
saying bad things to you.
359
00:15:58,755 --> 00:16:00,966
George, I'm gonna let
you in on a little secret.
360
00:16:00,990 --> 00:16:03,068
Nobody ever said
bad things to me.
361
00:16:03,092 --> 00:16:05,904
I just used to tell you that
so you'd fight 'em for me.
362
00:16:05,928 --> 00:16:07,706
What? Why'd you do that?
363
00:16:07,730 --> 00:16:09,742
Because you were so good at it.
364
00:16:09,766 --> 00:16:11,046
Yeah, I was, wasn't I?
365
00:16:13,168 --> 00:16:15,381
I bet you're still
good at it, George.
366
00:16:15,405 --> 00:16:16,749
Well...
367
00:16:16,773 --> 00:16:20,018
I bet you're still good at
other things too, puddin'.
368
00:16:20,042 --> 00:16:22,562
Well, I ain't had no complaints.
369
00:16:27,116 --> 00:16:28,727
I've thought a lot
about you lately.
370
00:16:28,751 --> 00:16:30,061
Oh, you have?
371
00:16:30,085 --> 00:16:32,831
Especially when things got
rough with my old man in Chicago.
372
00:16:32,855 --> 00:16:35,333
Oh, yeah. Mama told
me you got divorced.
373
00:16:35,357 --> 00:16:37,335
Well, not exactly divorced.
374
00:16:37,359 --> 00:16:38,470
Oh. Just separated?
375
00:16:38,494 --> 00:16:40,806
Yeah. Something came between us.
376
00:16:40,830 --> 00:16:42,474
Oh, that's a shame. What was it?
377
00:16:42,498 --> 00:16:44,476
His wife.
378
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:45,878
His wife?
379
00:16:45,902 --> 00:16:48,480
Me and this dude
had... an arrangement.
380
00:16:48,504 --> 00:16:50,482
Oh, an arrangement.
381
00:16:50,506 --> 00:16:52,518
Yeah, well, you did the
smart thing by leaving Chicago
382
00:16:52,542 --> 00:16:53,685
and coming to New York.
383
00:16:53,709 --> 00:16:56,688
I'm so glad to know you
feel that way, George.
384
00:16:56,712 --> 00:16:58,724
Mmm. Plan on staying, then?
385
00:16:58,748 --> 00:17:00,592
That depends.
386
00:17:00,616 --> 00:17:01,627
On what?
387
00:17:01,651 --> 00:17:03,829
How good the prospects are.
388
00:17:03,853 --> 00:17:06,131
Oh, you mean... a job?
389
00:17:06,155 --> 00:17:08,467
Yeah, you might say that.
390
00:17:08,491 --> 00:17:13,204
Uh, well, as far as I can see,
you got very good prospects.
391
00:17:13,228 --> 00:17:16,141
Well, that's wonderful, puddin'.
392
00:17:16,165 --> 00:17:18,544
Where you staying? In a motel.
393
00:17:18,568 --> 00:17:20,646
But I just found a
great apartment.
394
00:17:20,670 --> 00:17:21,747
Oh, terrific.
395
00:17:21,771 --> 00:17:24,316
But it costs 500
bucks just to move in.
396
00:17:24,340 --> 00:17:25,884
And I haven't got that much.
397
00:17:25,908 --> 00:17:27,686
Oh. Well, how
much are you short?
398
00:17:27,710 --> 00:17:29,577
500 bucks.

[SIGHS]
400
00:17:34,116 --> 00:17:35,393
If only there was somebody
401
00:17:35,417 --> 00:17:38,263
with enough money
to take care of it.
402
00:17:38,287 --> 00:17:39,431
I know somebody.
403
00:17:39,455 --> 00:17:40,732
Who?
404
00:17:40,756 --> 00:17:41,934
Me.
405
00:17:41,958 --> 00:17:43,969
I'll give you the money
for the apartment.
406
00:17:43,993 --> 00:17:46,237
You mean you'll take
care of me, puddin'?
407
00:17:46,261 --> 00:17:49,074
Yeah. I mean, what else
is money for but friends?
408
00:17:49,098 --> 00:17:50,408
Oh, well.
409
00:17:50,432 --> 00:17:53,579
I didn't think you'd agree
so quickly, I must say.
410
00:17:53,603 --> 00:17:56,436
You're quite a guy,
George Jefferson.
411
00:17:57,740 --> 00:17:59,451
Here you go. $500.
412
00:17:59,475 --> 00:18:00,986
Thanks, puddin'.
413
00:18:01,010 --> 00:18:04,957
This will be a great
arrangement, believe me.

I'll let you have
the key next week.
415
00:18:06,782 --> 00:18:08,259
Key? What key?
416
00:18:08,283 --> 00:18:09,561
Key to the apartment.
417
00:18:09,585 --> 00:18:11,997
Why would I want the
key to your apartment?
418
00:18:12,021 --> 00:18:14,522
What do you want to do,
climb through the window?
419
00:18:17,059 --> 00:18:18,637

The arrangement, honey.
422
00:18:21,564 --> 00:18:23,141
Oh, don't be embarrassed.
423
00:18:23,165 --> 00:18:25,076
It happens all the time.
424
00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:26,612
Look, if you're talking about
425
00:18:26,636 --> 00:18:27,846
what I think you're
talking about,
426
00:18:27,870 --> 00:18:29,447
I don't want to talk about it.
427
00:18:29,471 --> 00:18:31,082
But I thought you
wanted to do it.

Are you crazy?
I'm a married man!

with your marriage.

This is 1977.

I know it is. And I'd like
to be around to see 1978.

Which I won't if
Weezy finds out.
434
00:18:53,362 --> 00:18:55,674
George, everybody needs
435
00:18:55,698 --> 00:18:59,377
a little extracurricular
activity now and then.
436
00:18:59,401 --> 00:19:00,445
Well, I don't.

Weezy gives me all
the curricular I need.
438

But I thought we had
a good thing going.
439
00:19:11,346 --> 00:19:13,058
We did! A long time ago.
440

'Cause somebody's
gonna get burnt.

Why?
444
00:19:21,857 --> 00:19:23,234
Because you got it
under false pretenses.
445
00:19:23,258 --> 00:19:25,037
Well, you gave it
under false pretenses.
446

I thought you were
gonna keep me.

you was a foreign stamp.

No. I'm keeping it.

Check? What check?

00:19:48,918 --> 00:19:50,729
This check.

GEORGE: Oh. For $500?
459
00:19:53,288 --> 00:19:55,266
Oh, that check. That
check is a check that, uh...

George, why are you
giving Harriet's mother $500?
463
00:20:02,364 --> 00:20:03,909
Well, because, um...
464
00:20:03,933 --> 00:20:06,078
Because she needs an operation.

enough to lend us the money.

Yeah, that's right, Weezy.
Her mother's real sick.

Oh, I'm sorry. What's
wrong with her?

Well, she...

00:20:15,111 --> 00:20:17,310
It's one of those sicknesses
they ain't discovered yet.
470
00:20:19,849 --> 00:20:21,660
Then why are they operating?
471

Oh.

Harriet didn't have enough
money for her poor mother.

I knew you'd want
me to help her.
475
00:20:32,762 --> 00:20:35,907
Oh, of course, Harriet.
Anything we can do.

00:20:35,931 --> 00:20:39,911

$500 is gonna be enough

Oh, that's all right.

and she doesn't pull through...

more would you need?

did you say to her?

Nothing.

do such a thing?

but she sure fooled you.

00:23:13,689 --> 00:23:15,667
You were fooled first.
528
00:23:15,691 --> 00:23:17,135
She didn't fool me,
529
00:23:17,159 --> 00:23:19,470
because I knew she didn't
want the money for her mother.
530
00:23:19,494 --> 00:23:21,873
Oh?
531
00:23:21,897 --> 00:23:24,176
Then what did she
want the money for?
532
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,545
Well... What do you
say we have a drink?
533
00:23:27,569 --> 00:23:31,283
George, what did Harriet
want that check for?
534
00:23:31,307 --> 00:23:34,107
What do you say we
go to bed? George!
535
00:23:35,277 --> 00:23:37,110
Okay, Weez.
536
00:23:39,414 --> 00:23:40,694
She wanted me to keep her.
537
00:23:42,318 --> 00:23:44,318
Keep her what?
538
00:23:45,754 --> 00:23:48,488
Well, you know. She
wanted to be my mistress.
539
00:23:53,028 --> 00:23:55,240
You're kidding!
540
00:23:55,264 --> 00:23:56,741
I'm telling you the truth!
541
00:23:56,765 --> 00:23:58,310
She wanted to make
an arrangement.
542
00:23:58,334 --> 00:24:03,081
George, you want me to
believe that that swinger...
543
00:24:03,105 --> 00:24:06,117
I'm telling you, Weezy,
she wanted me to keep her.
544
00:24:06,141 --> 00:24:09,442
Oh, you gotta come up with
something better than this!
545
00:24:11,180 --> 00:24:14,425
Why shouldn't she?
She's got good taste!
546
00:24:14,449 --> 00:24:16,627
See? That's why I don't
like to tell you the truth.
547
00:24:16,651 --> 00:24:19,091
'Cause you never believe me.
548
00:24:21,357 --> 00:24:23,590
[INAUDIBLE]
549
00:24:38,874 --> 00:24:41,286
[???]
550
00:24:41,310 --> 00:24:45,345
ANNOUNCER: The Jeffersons was
videotaped in front of a studio audience.
551
00:24:56,425 --> 00:24:58,458
? Movin', movin' up... ?
