Hey, Thelma.

When are you
getting out of there, girl?

You've been soaking
in that bathtub

45 minutes.

You're gonna
come out so wrinkly,

you're gonna look like
one of those prune commercials.

Hey, girl,
what are you trying to do?

Make the bathroom
a 51st state called "Thelma"?

All right, now, girl,

this is your older brother
speaking here.

I'm giving you three
to get out of there.

One, two...

Still want to try
for three?

Oh, Ma, I didn't know
that was you in there

taking a bath.

Yeah, it's my
chauffeur's day off,

and I had no way

of getting
to my private spa.

I'm sorry I yelled, Ma,
but, uh...

Turn your back for one minute,
and O.J. Simpson runs by you.

This is ridiculous.

Ma, are you gonna let him

get away with that?

That's your problem.

I've got to make
breakfast.

I've got to get
to work early today.

Florida, you still didn't
sew that button on my cuff

like I asked you to.

I didn't have
a chance yet, honey.

I was taking a bath.

What do you mean,
you was taking a bath?

A bath.

You know,

you put a little hot water
and a little cold water?

That's what they call
"taking a bath."

Baby, what I mean is,

why didn't you take your bath
last night?

I told you,

I was too tired

from taking inventory
at the store.

Well, that's
the perfect time

to take a bath--

when you're tired.

It was not
the perfect time

to take a bath
last night.

Why wasn't it
the perfect time?

Because youwere
taking a bath.

And, uh, Ma,

while we're
on the subject,

when are you gonna
tell my little brother

to get out of there?

I've got to get
to work early today.

Delivering spare ribs?

Who orders ribs
this time of day?

You'd be surprised, Ma.

Spare ribs is a perfect
breakfast food.

They fill you up,

and then you can use
the extra grease

to give your car
a lube job.

Stop being ridiculous.

Okay, James,

let me fix
your button.

It's about time.

Hey, Ma,

did you press out my dress
for me?

I didn't have time
last night, honey.

Oh, Ma,

what am I gonna
wear to school?

Why don't you wear a mask

and give the student body
a break?

Look who's talking.

You could be a witch doctor

with your natural face.

You got some nerve--

Yeah, you know--

All right, now,
knock it off.

That's enough.

Hey, Florida,
you're supposed

to be sewing the button
on the shirt,

not the shirt
to my hand.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

but this place
isn't exactly

peace and quiet
around here today.

Ma...

Wear your skirt
and blouse.

But the fellows
will laugh at me.

J.J., will you go
into the bathroom?

I can't.

There's still an occupied sign
on the door.

Michael, will you
hurry it up?

I'm all through, Ma.

It's about time
you got--

Hey, mind your business!

Wow.

Looks like
I'm gonna have to start

using the gas station again.

If I don't get a car soon,

they gonna start
asking questions.

Mama, did you
write my note?

What note?

The one giving me permission
to go on the trip with my class.

I forgot, honey.
I'll do it tonight.

But Ma, I need it now.
We're going today.

Michael!
Ma...

Michael...

What?

Don't bother Ma with these
small, trivial problems.

Do what I'd usually do
when I was a kid.

Forge Ma's name.

J.J.

Whenever did you
forge my name?

Uh, really, Ma,

it was just small,
insignificant little things,

like report cards.

If I'd known

you were forging names,

I'd knock them
naps off your head.

Dad, I never really
forged your name.

I mean, I always
showed you my report card,

so you know I got to be jiving.

You're right on that.

Every time
I saw your report card,

I said, "He got to be jiving."

Oh, now look
what you did,

Florida.

You broke the thread.

If you'd sit still,
it wouldn't happen.

Well, hurry up,
will you?

I'm late for work
as it is.

I'm going as fast as I can,
James.

Ma, what about my note?

Write it yourself
and I'll sign it.

Okay.

Hey, Thelma, when you
getting out of there, girl?

Hey, don't rush me!

Hey, Ma, did you see
my makeup kit?

I can't find it.

Don't worry about it, Thelma.

We got
a brown paper bag out here

to cover your face.

Oh, shut up out there.

All right,
knock it off, Junior.

Ma, how many M's

does "permission"
have in it?

I can help you with
that one, Michael.

There's either
one or two.

It's one, honey.
Thanks, Ma.

Hey, the oatmeal's burning.

Oh, good lord.

Oh, now,
that's just great.

Now we ain't
got no breakfast.

Florida, will you
come on, please?

I'm running late
for work now.

Yeah, me too.

Hey, Thelma, when you getting
out of there, girl?

When I get finished,
that's when.

You are finished!

Ma, should I end this letter

"sincerely yours"
or "yours truly"?

Hey, Ma, did you see
the hair spray?

At last, justice!

Ma--

Ma!

Thelma!

Florida, are you gonna
finish this button

or ain't you?

I have to take care of this
three alarm fire in here,

if you don't mind.

I'll tell you something,
Florida.

If you'd have took your bath
last night

when you were supposed to,
you could have got up,

made this oatmeal without
no mess, fixed my button

so I could
get to work on time.

Now where you going?

I've got a job too,

and I've got
to get to work on time.

Now, if you want
that button sewed,

you sew it yourself.

And if you want breakfast,
make it yourself.

Then make the lunch
for the children,

wash the dishes, do the laundry,
make the beds,

and sweep the floor.

And see how you would like

being mother,
housewife,

diplomat, referee,
counselor, cook,

seamstress,
and sparring partner,

with no pay

and no
fringe benefits.

Good morning, Flo.

It's a beautiful day,

ain't it?

Don't get smart,
Willona.

Huh?

I wonder.

Sometimes
I really wonder.

About what?

If the whole thing
is worth it.

You beat
your brains out,

but does anybody
appreciate it?

No.

"Sew the button
on my shirt,"

"Make the breakfast,"

"Press my skirt."

Oh, Abe, you freed our people,
but you forgot me.

Let me take
a wild guess.

You are sick and tired
of the rat race.

Hm.

So why don't you
change your life

and become
one of the Supremes?

Hey!

Oh, honey,
you serious, huh?

Look, meet me for lunch

and you can cry
on my shoulder.

I always like to have

a little water
in my Scotchy-poo.

Thanks, Willona,
but I can't get away.

Oh?

That's funny.

You know this the second
luncheon invitation

I turned down for today?

Second?
Uh-huh.

Mr. Harris,
the head of my department,

he invited me to lunch too,

sort of celebrating
finishing up the inventory,

but naturally,
I didn't accept.

Naturally.

I didn't want
to take the time.

Of course not.

I got too much to do.

Of course you do.

Wait a minute.

Why can't I
take the time?

Why can't you?

Why does it always
have to be

work, work, work
all the time?

Yeah, why does it
have to be

work, work, work
all the time?

The man is a gentleman.

He offered me
an invitation to lunch.

Why can't I accept?

Why can't you?

I'm gonna go.

Why don't you?

Oh, Willona,
I'm so glad

I bumped into you
this morning.

You always have
such good advice.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

You've been
so much help to me

with the inventory,

I wanted to bring you
someplace special.

It's beautiful,

but I think they
forgot the chairs.

We sit on the floor.

You've got
to be kidding.

It's a Japanese custom.

Well, so is hari-kari,
but we don't have to do that.

It's really
very comfortable.

See?

Try it.

[CHUCKLES DOUBTFULLY]

Well...

Aah!

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Last time I tried this

is when we were
behind in our bills

and they repossessed
our furniture.

A backrest
for the lady, please.

Hai.

Hi.

"Hai" means "yes"
in Japanese.

Oh.

Well, how do you say
"chiropractor"?

If you please.

Yes indeed.

Oh.

That's better.

Thank you.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

Don't touch
your what?

Two sushi
to start with,

and sake,please.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

Well, I'm so glad
we finally got together

for lunch.

I've asked you
so many times.

Well, I usually
brown bag it,

but I felt the need
for something different

today.

I felt the need

to forget
about everything.

Yes, well, I'm glad
you accepted.

That's a, uh...

That's a new outfit,
isn't it?

Yes.

It was nice of you
to notice.

Well, it's because
it's a habit of mine.

I've been selling
women's clothes

for two years.

It fits you well.

Can't say that

about many
of my outfits.

Oh, you have
a perfect figure.

I'd say a perfect 14.

And I'd say
you are one heck of a salesman.

The sushi and sake.

Ah.

Which is the sushi
and which is the sake?

Well, uh,
this is the sake.

It's a wine
made out of rice.

No kidding.

The only thing
I ever had with my rice

was red beans.

Hey, you know,

I don't think
I ought to drink that.

I didn't have any
breakfast this morning.

Oh, it's very relaxing.

To our first lunch.

[COUGHS]

Are you all right?

Yeah.

These Japanese
are something else.

First they take your shoes off,

and then they
blow your head off.

Okay.
Try one of these.

Okay.

What is it?

Tako.

Oh, I like tacos.

It don't taste
like tacos.

Well, that's because it isn't.
It's octopus.

I ain't never
ate nothing

with eight legs
before.

Well, I guess
you have to, uh,

acquire
a taste for it.

Hey.

Is your side of the room
spinning?

No.

Well, mine is.

It's going
round and round,

like we're on
the Ferris wheel

at a carnival.

Have you ever been
to a carnival?

Oh, many times.

Oh, my father
used to take us

every time
one came to town.

I remember one time

he bought a box
of Cracker Jacks,

and there was
a prize in it,

a wind thistle.

A what?

Um, a thin twistle.

Wait a minute.

A tin whistle.

Every time you blew it

it made
the prettiest sound,

but then I lost it.

After that, I'd buy Cracker Jack

and keep hoping that I'd find
another tin whistle,

but I never did.

Well, a toast

to Cracker Jacks
and tin whistles.

Mm.

You know,
when I left home this morning,

I was upset about something,

but for the life of me,

I can't remember
what it was now.

Mm.

Love this rice.

Dad, promise

you'll be nice to Ma
when she gets home.

Oh, Thelma,
I'm being nice to her.

Didn't I tell Junior
to bring home

a bunch of them ribs
from that take-home place?

Now your mother
won't have to cook tonight.

She can be a lady.

All she'll have to do
is serve up the food,

and then clear the table,
wash and dry the dishes,

put them away,

and then maybe
she can get around

to fixing that button
on my shirt.

Oh, Daddy,
I'll do all that.

You know, Daddy,

maybe Mama's tired
of the same, old routine.

She might need
an outside interest.

Hey, maybe that's it.

Daddy,

why don't you and Mama
have another baby?

Michael!

Well, that's
an outside interest.

[KNOCKING]

I'll get it, Dad.

Greetings from the Roundup Roast
Beef and Rib Palace.

Our ribs are tasty,
tender, and brown.

That's because our cook has soul
and knows how to...

get down!

J.J., stop acting ridiculous
and give me that bag.

Wait a minute, now.

This is an official delivery.

I got to go through
the official routine here.

Now, uh...

this isthe Evans residence,
isn't it?

You arethe woman of the house,
aren't you?

Yes.

Could have fooled me. Aah!

You better take that steer
off your head.

I think
it kicked your brains out.

Hey.

No tip, huh?

No.

I knew you were a cheapo
when I walked in here.

Hey, Dad, good news.

I got the special
employee's discount.

Yeah?

10 cents off.

I'm all choked up,
Junior.

Mm!

This stuff
smells good.

Yeah, I had the chef give us
the special choice cut there.

I'll have you know

that is 75 percent
Grade A government fat.

What you talking about, Junior?

You know I told the guy
to give us the best he had.

Hey, you know what?

I think ordering food

is gonna make Mama
real happy.

Yeah, it ought to, Michael,
but I don't know.

I mean, your mother's been
awful unreasonable lately.

Yeah, unreasonable.

I mean, she act like she don't
appreciate what we got here.

Don't appreciate it.

I mean, we don't live
all that bad.

We sure don't.

We got a great family.

Yeah, great family.

Three wonderful kids.

I'll tell y'all
one thing.

I ain't gonna put up

with no foolishness
from her tonight.

No, sir, not after I done
laid out almost $8

for that food.

She come in here with a whole
lot of yang-yang tonight,

I ain't gonna go for it.

I don't want to hear
no lip at all.

Hello, everybody!

And how is my wonderful,

handsome,
favorite husband?

Mm.

Boy, she's mad.

Shut up.

And how's the rest
of my beautiful family?

Fine.
Fine, Ma.

Good.

How'd you do in school
today, Michael?

Well, Mama,
the trip was real nice.

Mm.
I got a C on my English test.

Oh, you'll get an A
next time.

What?

Man, what a temper.

Shut up, Junior.

Florida, how come
you so happy?

Well, why shouldn't I be, honey?

I had a wonderful day,

and I'm sure you had
a wonderful day,

and here we all are together
at the end of the day.

What more
could you ask?

I could ask
why you're so happy,

that's what.

Uh, Ma,

we have
a surprise for you.

You don't have
to cook tonight.

Daddy had J.J.

bring home
some ribs for us.

Thanks, lover.

Tell you, boy.
Vicious. Vicious.

What'd you say, J.J.?

I said the spare ribs
are delicious, delicious.

Okay, everything's
ready, Ma.

We can sit down
and eat now.

Come on.

Let's eat!

* Poor butterfly *

* La la la la *

Wait a minute,
what's going on here?

Now you singing?

Was I?

Yeah, and I ain't
heard you sing in weeks.

Oh, well, that's because
I feel so good.

I don't get it.

[KNOCKING]

I'll get the door.

[HUMMING]

Singing about butterflies.

You come in here
grinnin' and skinnin'.

I don't know.
There's something wrong here.

Good evening.

Is Mrs. Evans in?

Yeah.

Mr. Harris!

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Who is this?

Remember
what I told you

this afternoon?

It's Oscar.

Who is this?

Oscar.

These are for you.

Oh, thank you.

Well, I just happened

to be passing by
this florist

and I saw those
Japanese tea roses.

It reminded me
of this afternoon,

and I just couldn't
resist buying them.

Now, who is this,

what's going on,

and what happened
this afternoon?

Nothing.

We just had lunch
together, that's all.

Lunch?

James,

this is Oscar Harris,

the head
of my department.

Oscar, this is
my husband, James.

Hello.

Ah...

And these are
my children.

That's Michael,
Thelma, and J.J.

Hello.
Hey.
Hi.

A very handsome
looking group.

Well, you know, what can I say?

Hey!

I just love
these flowers.

Thelma, will you
put them in some water

for me, please?

Uh, there is something

in the envelope
for you too.

Oh?

Excuse me.

A tin whistle.

I had to buy 25 boxes
of Cracker Jacks

before I found one.

Go ahead, try it.

See what
it sounds like.

All right.

[TOOTS]

It's just
as I remembered.

Somebody want to tell me

what the hell is going on
around here?

At lunch today,

Oscar and I were talking
about the carnival,

and I was saying
how when I was a kid,

I had one of these
tin whistles,

but I lost it,

and I never could find
another one like it.

Then why didn't you
tell me?

I'd have bought you
a whistle.

Oh, but no, James,
you can't buy them.

You have to get them
out of the Cracker Jacks.

Well, somebody
tell me something.

What were you two doing
having lunch in the first place?

Celebrating

finishing
the inventory.

We had a wonderful time,

once your wife got comfortable
on the floor.

You want
to run that by me again?

James,

it was a Japanese
restaurant.

Oh.

Now I understand.

* Poor butterfly *

* La, la, la
La-la, la-la *

Oscar, we were just about
to sit down to dinner.

Would you care to join us?

We ain't got enough food.

No thanks.

I have another
engagement.

Good.

It was nice
meeting you all.

THELMA:
Nice meeting you.

Good night.

I'll see you
to the door.

I'll see you
outside the door.

James, please!

Florida,
I hope you enjoy the whistle.

Oh, I will,
and thank you.

You're welcome.
Good night.

ALL:
Good night.

Good night.

Are you ready to
tell me about this

right now?

James, you don't
have to shout.

Uh, I think we better
get lost for a little while.

Uh-uh, Thelma.
I want to stay.

This is getting
interesting.

Come on.

You too, chopstick. Come on.

Get in there.

Come on, Florida,
now, what is it?

Because if it's
what I think it is,

I'm gonna
pluck that turkey

feather by feather.

Oh, James.

Are you jealous?

Who, me?

No, of course not.

I wish you were.

What do you mean by that?

Well, maybe then I'll feel

that you think of me
as something more

than somebody
to sew a button on your shirt,

somebody
that you think of

as a woman.

Well, Florida,

how do you think
I think of you?

When was the last time

you made me feel
like a woman?

How about the night
before last?

James, I'm not
talking about that.

I'm talking
about treating me

the way a woman
likes to be treated,

the way Oscar
treated me.

Now, how did Oscar treat you?

Well, he was kind.

He was thoughtful.

He even noticed

that I had on
a new outfit.

Is that a new outfit?

I'd have noticed
it was a new outfit,

sooner or later.

James, it's more
than that.

He was very
polite to me.

He was courteous.

He showed me
all the attention

that a woman likes.

Yeah, but I thought
you didn't go

for that stuff
no more.

I mean, not with all that

women's lib jive and all that.

James, women's lib don't mean
we want to stop being women.

It just means we want our chance
in this world too.

Honey, the main thing
on my mind is,

am I just
a habit with you,

or do you love me?

Do I love you?

Hey, what kind
of silly question

is that, huh?

How about
a silly answer?

I got one for you.

[TOOTS WHISTLE]

What's that for?

To call the children
in to dinner,

and then let's
get rid of them

as fast as we can.

Have mercy.

[TOOTS WHISTLE]

All right, let's get it!

All right, move!

Come on,
get it, get it!

Move!
Hit that table.

Man, let's eat!

Come on!
