Dad, can I borrow your razor?

Why? You ain't using tweezers
no more?

Oh, Dad.

Oh, sure, you can
use my razor, Junior.

Who's your big date
with tonight?

Gorgeous Gertrude,
the glamour girl of the ghetto.

Whatever happened
to your one and only,

Delightful Delilah?

Oh, no, Dad,
the flame has flickered out.

Aw, who turned off
your pilot light, Romeo?

I did, Ma.

The other night we went out
for french fries and a malt,

and she didn't come out
with her half of the loot.

I got one rule
with all my chicks,

they gots to pay their own way.

Our son, the lover.

Yeah.
Well, that stands to reason.

I mean, look who his father is.

Baby, it won't be long
before old Michael here

be chasing
after girls too.

I got news for you, Daddy.
I already caught a few.

That boy is growing up
faster than we thought.

Yeah.

Look here.

Who's your main squeeze
these days,

Romeo Number Two?

Well, Daddy,

I don't have
just one main squeeze.

I'm gonna
take my advice from J.J.,

and I'm playing the field.
All right!

Since when have you been
taking advice from J.J.?

J.J. talks a lot in his sleep,
and I do a lot of listening.

[JAMES LAUGHS]

Hi, Ma, Dad.

Hello.

You remember me
talking about

my girlfriend
Jo Ann Taylor, right?

FLORIDA:
Uh-huh.

Well, Jo Ann.

This is my mother, my father,
Hello.

And my brother Michael.
Hi.

We're having
a French test this weekend.

I'm gonna
help Jo Ann.

Oh, that's nice.

Thelma told me
about you

being voted
homecoming queen

for your senior class.

Congratulations.

Thank you,

but if I don't do better
with my grades,

I might still be
in the senior class next year.

Oh, now, don't go
putting yourself down.

That's right, Dad.

In French,
she's just a little weak

on verbs.

And adverbs, adjectives,
prepositions and nouns,

especially nouns...
like the word door.

I mean,
I know in French it's porte,

but you got to know

whether it's masculine
or feminine.

Oh, that's easy.

I mean, if the door
is marked men,

then it's masculine.
If it's marked ladies,

then you know
it's feminine.

Come on, Jo Ann.

My room is this way.
Okay.

[GASPS]

Hey, now.

Far out, Thelma!
Who is the artist around here?

Uh, my brother J.J.

I think I've seen
some of his paintings around.

You probably saw them
down at the community center.

He took up some of his work
over to the art show

a couple weeks ago.

He won first prize.

Hey, now,
that's out of sight.

Hey, where's
the aftershave lotion?

Uh, J.J.

Uh, Jo Ann,

this is
my brother, J.J,

in the flesh...
whatever there is of it.

Hi, J.J.

Nice to meet you,
J.J.

[GIGGLES]

J.J.

J.J.?

J.J.

Nice to meet you,
Mama.

Whoa.

Something tells me
he's gonna do a lot of talking

in his sleep tonight.

Come on, Jo Ann.

Let's get started
on that French.

Okay.

Hello, Jo Ann.

She's gone.

Yeah, and
so is Junior.

Hey, J.J.

J.J.! Hey, J.J.!
Snap out of it, man.

I thought you had a date
with Gorgeous Gertrude.

Who?

The glamour girl of the ghetto,
man.

Oh, no,
now she's on the junk pile

with Delightful Delilah.

Well, I better go
put on my shirt.

I probably drove
Jo Ann crazy

with this...
fantastic body.

Oh, uh, Dad,

can I borrow
your aftershave lotion?

I'm all out,
Junior.

Oh, that's okay.
I'll use Thelma's Afro Sheen.

J.J., that's a hair conditioner.

Oh, better yet, Ma.

Makes my mustache
more soft and...kissable.

Well, when it
comes to girls,

J.J. flips faster
than a pancake.

You can't keep
up with him

without
a score card.

Gorgeous Gertrude,
Delightful Delilah,

Marvelous Myrna,
the human burner.

Yeah, and don't forget
Sizzling Suzy.

I never heard him
mention her.

I know, Mama. That's because
she's one of my chicks.

Young man,

don't you have
some homework to do?

Yeah, some biology,

and I'm learning
that subject fast.

Not too fast.

Well, Florida,
you really can't blame girls

for chasing after our sons.

I mean, there's something
about the Evans men.

It runs in the family.

[LAUGHING]

[IMITATES LAUGHTER]

It does, huh?

Yeah, well, I mean...

Like, when I was Junior's age,
baby,

I didn't have no problem
with girls either.

I'd see a good-looking girl,
and I'd say to myself--

What did you say, James?

[CHUCKLES]

I say, "Self,
that ain't the right one."

Yep, you sure said that.

Well, Florida, you know
you're the only one for me.

The minute I saw you, baby,
I said, "That's it."

Well, you must have done
a lot of window shopping

before you decided what to buy.

Of course, baby.

I mean, when a man
is looking for a wife,

he wants to make sure
he gets a quality product.

Let's face it.
I did.

Careful how you handle
the merchandise.

Thelma!

Would you and Jo Ann like
something cold to drink?

THELMA: Oh, that would
be great, Ma. Thanks!

Uh, they still
in there studying?

Mm-hmm.

Uh, Ma,
what you doing over there?

Well, I'm
giving the girls

something cold
to drink.

Well, let me
take it in the room, Ma.

Wow, how come you're so helpful
all of a sudden?

Just that I know

my little sister
is in there studying,

and I wanna make sure
she has the proper nourishment.

All right, J.J.,
you wanna take this tray in,

here.

Oh, Ma, could you
hold these for a minute?

Sure, what's the matter?

Boy, take this tray!

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Come in.

I mean,
ouvrez la porte.

[GRUMBLES]

Uh, I brought y'all
the drinks.

Thank you, J.J.

You're welcome.

Thank you--

J.J., the drink.

It's delicious.

Oh, uh...

[CLEARS THROAT]

How you all doing
with the French?

Well, Thelma is
really a great teacher,

but, man,
I'm still having trouble.

Well, then, uh...

maybe I can
help you out here.

You know, when I was
a mere youth in high school,

French
was one of my big subjects.

J.J., you took Spanish.

You don't know any French,

so why don't you
get out of here?

What you talking about, girl?

Remember the time the family
went to that fancy restaurant?

I ordered the entire meal
in French.

Yeah, but it was
a Chinese restaurant.

Come on now, Thelma,
what's the difference?

You speak
one foreign language,

you speak them all.

Let me tell you something,
Jo Ann.

Yes?

The main thing
you gotta remember

about speaking a
foreign language is...

never speak it
in English.

I got to remember that.

J.J.: Yeah, and when you go
on the road, always remember--

Uh, J.J.
If you don't mind,

we have a lot
of work to do.

Oh, so do I.
I gotta finish a painting.

Even though I may be big
on foreign language,

art is still my numero uno.

[GIGGLES]

Great, fantastic, fine.
Now, will you get out of here,

s'il vous plaît.

Okay.

And until next time...

Si-si bon.

Arriv-a-derch!

And, uh...
sari-nara.

Well, hit another bull's-eye.

You mean,
you racked up some points

with the beauty queen?

The beauty queen melted
at the sight of the beauty king.

She really fell apart,
huh, Junior?

Let me put it to you this way,
Dad.

After seeing me,

the only French words
she could say was, "Ooh-la-la."

That boy's foot is a size 12,

and his head
is catching up fast.

J.J., what
are you doing?

Oh, just getting some threads

more suitable for the occasion.

JAMES: Oh, no.

Not those, Junior.
Those are your killer threads.

[CHUCKLES]

Why don't you have mercy
on the girl?

Well, Dad,

since she's gonna
be my future fox,

she might as well see
the whole enchilada.

You know,
I don't believe that boy.

I tell you, baby, I mean,

can you imagine anybody
being that stuck on their self.

Mm-hmm.

I married him.

Oh, now,
wait a minute now, baby.

I mean,
I admit I am handsome...

Oh.

But you never
heard me doing

that much
horn blowing.

Oh, come on, James,
you blow so many horns,

you could be
the whole brass section

for Count Basie.

You gotta admit
one thing, baby.

What?

We're making beautiful
music together.

We sure have.

[SQUEALING]

Oh! They're
at it again.

The Liz and Dick of the ghetto.

Willona, do you ever
even think about knocking?

Yeah, the thought
has occurred to me,

but I drove it
right out of my mind.

The bicentennial
is getting next to me,

and I wanna
be able to say I was there,

and that's the way it was.

Ho, ho, ho, hey, hey!

Well, if you want to make it
a real bicentennial,

why don't you just visit us
every 200 years?

Ha, ha, ha,
hoo, hoo!

Ho, ho!

[LAUGHS]

Oh, James.

That's all right, Flo.

We just starting the fireworks
a little early.

Hmm.

Awfully quiet around here.

Where are the kids?

Oh, don't tell me
they all left home,

and you was getting ready
to start another set.

Michael is in our room
doing his homework.

Thelma and Jo Ann Taylor
are in there.

She's helping her
with some school work.

Jo Ann Taylor?
Mm-hmm.

Oh, isn't she the high school
homecoming queen?

Yup, and she's
beautiful.

She sure is.

She looks just like me
when I was her age.

And homecoming queen
myself.

You a long way from home,
sweetie.

You know, Flo,

when I was a bridesmaid
at your wedding,

I remember
thinking to myself,

"Crazy. Here I am
carrying a bouquet of roses,

just because Flo caught herself
a clump of poison ivy."

Willona Woods done
done it again.

Give me five!

Well, I better
blow the whistle

before we go
into overtime.

Whoo-ooh!

NBC lost
its peacock

and look where
it landed!

Well, how y'all folks
like it?

You look like an explosion
in a paint factory.

I better go home
and get my sunglasses.

The glare is
blinding me.

Have a nice
time, sugar.

I'll see y'all later.
FLORIDA: Okay, bye.

JAMES: All right,
Willona, take it easy.

Well, Junior,
if you was any sharper,

you could be considered
a dangerous weapon.

Yeah, I thought about that, Dad.

That's how come I wore
my conservative socks.

[CHATTERING]

Are you two finished
studying already?

Yeah, I guess so,
Mrs. Evans.

I just can't seem
to get it together.

Yeah, I think
it's better

if we start off fresh
some other time.

Yeah.
Goodbye, everybody.

FLORIDA: Bye-bye.
THELMA: Okay.

Thanks for your help, Thelma.

THELMA: Any time.

Uh, Jo Ann.

Yeah?

Look here, I got some tickets
for the O'Jays concert

on Saturday night.

You're welcome to be
my guest, and, uh...

you don't even
have to pay your own way.

I'm sorry, J.J.,
but I really can't make it.

I'm busy
Saturday night.

Uh... How about Sunday?

I got some tickets

for the Isley
Brothers concert,

and they even hotter
than the O'Jays!

But I got
to study Sunday.

Well, I just
happen to be free

on Monday night.

Oh, J.J., I'm sorry,
but I really can't make it.

Uh... Tuesday afternoon?

Oh, J.J.,

listen, I'm gonna
be kinda busy the whole week.

I'm sorry.
Bye.

THELMA:
Bye.

New Year's Eve?

Florida, how come
it's so quiet out here?

What are you
talking about, James?

Well,
I'm trying to get some sleep,

but I can't.

Ain't nobody yelling.

Well, J.J.'s
not around.

Oh.

You know, he hasn't been himself

since Jo Ann
walked into his life

and then walked right back out.

Oh, don't worry about J.J.

You can't keep him down
too long.

Yep, it's his nature,
happy-go-lucky.

He'll bounce back.

[SOLEMNLY]
Hi, y'all.

Well, the only thing
I seen bouncing lately

is that bird on his head.

How's it
going, son?

How's the poultry-pushing
business?

I don't know, Dad.

My heart
just ain't into my work.

Come on, J.J., snap out of it.

Anyhow, how much heart
do you need to deliver chicken?

Thelma,
I really messed up today.

One of my big customers too,
the Thomases.

They're
usually a wings family,

but by mistake,
I brought over

two buckets of legs.

And when you're into wings,

you don't like to mess
with no legs.

Mr. Thomas got so mad,
he nearly broke both of mine.

Oh, come on, J.J.,
everybody makes a mistake.

Yeah, Ma, but I just
can't concentrate.

J.J, you shouldn't let
that thing with Jo Ann

get you down.

You have to realize
she's very busy,

and she's also
a very popular girl.

I don't even think about chicks
anymore.

The only chicks I bother with
are the ones I deliver.

Wait a minute. Hold it.
Now, that ain't fair

to all the rest
of them girls out there,

climbing
all over each other

just to get a lock
of your mustache.

Huh?

Yeah, I wish I had
a bad mustache like that.

J.J., you're so handsome,

I hear that Billy Dee
is eating his heart out.

Yeah, and Diana Ross
tore up his number

and is now looking for yours.

Oh, now, hold on.
Stop it, all of you.

Just stop it.

Now, look here.

Let's get something
out front right now.

Dad, you a handsome dude.
Ma, you're a beautiful lady.

Thelma, you're good-looking.

Michael, you're good-looking.

Tell me, what happened to me?

Now, J.J.,

you're our first born.

You were beautiful then,
and you're beautiful now.

And what about
all those girls?

There is Delightful Delilah,
Gorgeous Gertrude,

Marvelous Myrna.

Oh, Ma,
let me tell you something.

Delightful Delilah
is really Delilah the Dog.

Gorgeous Gertrude
is really Gertrude the Gorilla.

And Marvelous Myrna
is really Myrna the Monster.

Junior, what you
talking about?

No, Dad, I knew
I was out of my class

when I tried
to date Jo Ann.

The only kind of girls
I go out with

is the kind
the other dudes reject.

I get more recalls
than General Motors, Ford

and Chrysler together.

J.J.

Well, I'm gonna
change for art school.

Oh, James,

it hurts me
to see him this way.

I can't believe
that's J.J.

Yeah, I know
what you mean, baby.

I guess it's all my fault.

I should've
never brought Jo Ann here.

Oh, now,
stop that, baby girl.

It's all right.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Well, Jo Ann really
bowled him over.

Hello, Mrs. Evans.

Hello, Jo Ann.

Jo Ann?!

Well, hi, Thelma.

Don't you remember?

We made up to meet tonight

for you to help me
with my French.

Well,
don't you remember?

Oh, yeah.

Look, you guys better start
studying right now.

Right now, hear?

Oh, come on, Jo Ann,
let's get started.

Yes, honey,
the faster, the better.

Right, Ma.

[DOOR SLAMS]

Oh.
Uh, hi, J.J.

Oh, hi, Jo Ann,

I'm getting ready
to go to art school.

Bye. Bye, y'all.

Uh, just a minute.

J.J., can I talk
to you to a minute?

You wanna talk to me?

Yeah. In private.

Y'all wanna talk in private,
go ahead.

We'll get out of the way.

Well, uh, now that we got
all this privacy,

why don't you sit down.

Thank you, J.J.

[LAUGHS]

Michael, don't you see
they want privacy?

I'm reading this magazine.

I ain't interested
in what they doing.

Get your butt
over here!

Well, J.J.,
I don't know how to begin.

Why don't you
start at beginning?

Shh! James!

Uh, J.J., about the other day,

when you asked me out
for a date

and I turned you down.

Well, I got thinking about it,
and, wow, J.J.,

I mean, the way
I must've sounded.

I hope I didn't hurt
your feelings.

Are you kidding?

I never even gave it
a second thought.

I'm glad,

because the reason I gave you
all those excuses

was just that, well...

Oh, I was scared
to go out with you, J.J.

Scared?

Well, yeah. I mean...

I usually go out with all
those big, husky dudes

on the football team
and the basketball team,

and, well, J.J.,

I've never gone out
with someone like you.

What you mean,
someone like me?

What you mean,
someone like him?!

James!

Well, J.J.,

what I mean,
is just that, well...

you're so intellectual.

J.J., you are deep.

I am?

Well, yeah.

I mean, all those
far-out paintings you do,

winning all those prizes.

Well, J.J., you are
just a creative genius.

I know.

Oh, I don't like
to brag, though.

Brag, brag!

Anyway, J.J., the
reason I was scared

to go out with
you is that,

well, I wouldn't even
know what to talk about.

I mean, J.J.,

I'm not the smartest person
in the world, you know.

Who cares?

Uh, look here, Jo Ann,

uh, if you still wanna go out,

you know, uh, well,

maybe I may be
able to find the time.

Hallelujah, our boy
is back to normal.

Amen.

Well, what night would be
good for you, J.J.?

Well, uh,
let me see, now...

Schedule
is pretty tight here.

Well, no.
Well, yeah. Uh, well, uh...

How about, uh, tonight?

Well, J.J., I gotta
study with Thelma,

and, well, I thought
you had to go to art school.

I do, but I'll be home by 9:30,

and McDonald's
don't close till 11.

We got the whole evening
ahead of us.

Oh, wow, that
sounds hip.

I just hope I don't
disappoint you.

No way.

Well, until then...

au revoir, bonn-ami.

Que sera, sera...

And, uh...cognac!

Come on, Jo Ann,
let's get started.

Okay, Thelma.

You know something,
Mr. and Mrs. Evans?

Like, your son
really has class.

We know.
We know.
