* Right back
Where we started from *

[HUMMING]

Don't you know the words?
Sure, Ma.

[CONTINUES HUMMING]

Of course,
how could I forget?

* Mississippi here we come *

Oh, Ma.

What's the matter?

Ma, you wrapped
a gravy bowl

in Clifton Davis.

I was gonna frame it.

Why would you want
to frame a gravy bowl?

Oh, Ma, you know
what I mean.

Now, look at it.

Clifton's
all wrinkled.

Well, now you know

what he's
gonna look like

when he gets old.

Well, I'll just
have to iron him out.

You can't.

I just packed the iron
in Ike and Tina Turner.

Why couldn't you

use the Help Wanted
section?

You know, we won't be
needing that any more.

Amen to that.

I knew your daddy
would do it for us.

I just knew it!

When I got
that letter from James

telling us
that his uncle had offered him

a half interest
in the garage business,

it was like
Martin Luther King

saying, "Free at last!
Free at last!

"Thank God Almighty.

We are free at last!"

Oh, Ma, now,

if everything
is gonna be so great

in Mississippi,

why don't we
buy new dishes there,

instead of taking
these old ones.

Oh, Thelma,

these dishes
are precious to me.

I served your daddy

his first breakfast
on them,

the morning
after we got married.

[CHUCKLES]

Was he hungry, Ma?

Have mercy.

He was hungry!

* Mississippi, here I come *

Hey, Ma, this is the only box
I could find.

Well, you sure

couldn't have
looked too hard.

I looked,

and I asked everybody
for empty boxes,

including
Mr. Ferguson.

The mortician?

Yeah, but he said
he didn't have any empty.

You know,
it's not easy

moving on
two days' notice.

I know, Michael,

but your daddy
is getting impatient.

The last letter I got
from James

was so full of love,

it could have
steamed itself open.

And Willona's party
is tonight,

and goodbye telegrams
are coming in.

Yeah, I wrote
three of them myself.

I can't believe
we're really moving.

I wonder what it's gonna
be like, being rich.

Now, wait a minute.

We're not
gonna be rich,

but we will be better off
than we are now.

We can be poor

and still be better off
than we are now.

Well, he's home again.

He's outta sight.

Feast your eyes
on Kid...

Dy-no-mite!

J.J., when I said
we were traveling light,

I didn't mean
your head!

It looks like
you got corn rows,

only the crop failed.

Oh, you wouldn't
talk that way

to Otis Sistrunk,
Kojak, Isaac Hayes.

For your information,
little girl,

this flip side
of the Afro

has a certain
daring,

a certain
presumptuousness--

A certain baldness.

What is that?

J.J., you're not
wearing earrings.

Only one,
only one.

'Cause one
is a sign of macho.

Two is a sign
of la-di-da.

I think it's silly.

Now his head
is perfect all around.

Empty on the outside
and empty inside.

[GRUMBLES]

Hey,
that's my earring!

That's right,
that's right--

Take it off!

You don't need it.

[BOTH SHOUTING]

Ah-ah-ah!

I'm not gonna have
that hassling.

All right, J.J.,
give Thelma her earring.

Yeah,
you old goldfish.

All right.

Don't wear
my jewelry anymore.

Now, Thelma, you go
and pack those dishes,

and J.J., do something
about your head.

All right.

Y'all asking me

to do something
about my head?

Check this out.

Here you go.

Presto change-o!

Look at him.

He'd do anything
to get out of work.

You big phony.
Hey, come on, now.

Hey, Ma,
take these people out.

They are right.

This is no time
for fun and games.

Now, come and help us
with the moving.

[GROANS]

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

Saved by the bell!

I'll get that.

It's probably
your daddy.

Hello?

Who do you want to speak to?

Mr. Goosebumps?

[LAUGHS]

That's for me.

Par-ton moi.

Hello there.

Mr. Goosebumps here.

Oh, that Mr. Goosebumps.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Thanks, turkey.

Hey, J.J., why don't you
mind your business?

This is private.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Luanne.

Well, I'm helping
around the house right now.

Well, I'm the only one here
who's working.

What?

Oh, okay, all right.

See you.

Ma, Luanne wants
to see me.

She gotta tell me
some things.

Well, I--
Thanks. Bye.

Our little brother
is growing up, J.J.

We're gonna
have to teach him

about the birds
and the bees.

Well, I'll deal with the birds
and you'll deal with the bees.

Before you deal
with anything,

you get those paintings
off the wall.

I don't know

if I should trust
my life's work

to those moving men,
you know?

They're always
dropping things,

breaking things,
bumping into things.

You think President Ford
started out as a moving man?

Just put them
in a carton.

As long as you don't
mark it "Fragile"

they'll be all right.

Oh...

this apartment
has so many memories.

You think
I'm gonna miss it?

Not me.

The way Daddy writes
about Mississippi,

sounds like
the Promised Land.

Oh, yeah?

If that's the Promised Land,

what are all those Jewish folks
doing in Tel Aviv?

I remember when my folks
left the South to come here.

Chicago was going to be
the golden opportunity.

I guess a lot of black people
felt that way

when they came up north,
huh, Ma?

Well, it seemed
the only right move at the time.

Do you know
when we left Mississippi,

they still had
separate facilities

for blacks and whites.

Yeah, but all that's
changed now.

Now when you gotta go,

all you gotta do
is just raise your hand,

and they'll bus you
to another john.

Wouldn't it be awful

if on our way down
to Mississippi,

we met some sisters
and brothers

on their way to Chicago,

and we both said,
"Go back! Go back!"

Well, have no fear,

because once J.J. gets there,
the South shall rise again!

Yee-haw!

J.J., you're gonna have
Bookman up here.

Hi, y'all.

Hi, Willona.
Hi, Willona.

Here's the suitcase
I said I'd lend you.

You know,
I was saving this

for my next honeymoon,

but the hinges
are getting all rusty,

and so am I.

Willona,
we're gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you
and James

and Thelma
and Michael.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Something wrong,
J. J.?

You almost forgot
the unforgettable me.

You know
I was just jiving.

Honey, if you were
just 20 years older--

Then you'd be
20 years older too, Willona.

Wrong. Wrong.

I'd only be
10 years older.

Willona, you got
a lot to learn

about arithmetic.

J.J., you got
a lot to learn

about women.

Well, then, how come

I got coming
to the party tonight

Samantha the Human Panther,

Wendy the Wonder Woman,

and Olivia the Octopus?

Honey, that ain't
no guest list.

That's roll call
at a circus.

But that's cool.
Invite everybody.

We're gonna have
the biggest, bumpin'-est

footstomping-est bash
I ever threw.

Oh, by the way,
Willona,

thanks for holding the party
at our apartment.

Anytime.

Willona, don't make the party
too terrific,

or we won't wanna leave.

That's the
general idea.

You'll make friends

with the people
who move in here.

How am I gonna
make friends

with people I hate?

Willona, you don't even
know the people.

It don't matter.

I'm not gonna
like anybody

that tries
to take your place.

Oh, Willona.

I'm so happy
for you.

I don't know

what I'm gonna
do without you.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Who is it?

Me.
Me who?

Me the janitor.

Oh, good, I finally get a chance
to tell this dude off.

If he finds out
we're moving,

he'll find a way
to get us out of here

before we're ready.

You mean I can't get even with
this dude for ripping us off

all these years?
Later.

Now, get these boxes
out of sight.

[KNOCKING CONTINUES]

[HUMMING]

Coming.
We're all getting decent!

FLORIDA:
Just a minute.

[HUMMING CONTINUES]

Good afternoon, folks.

Well, it was good
till you got here.

What do you want, Bookman?

Do I detect
a note of hostility?

You detect a whole symphony!

Yeah, well, you'll
change your mind

when you hear
the good news.

You're going to Angola
as a mercenary.

The hot water's coming on again
the first thing in the morning.

What do you mean again?

Well, it's being turned off
again tonight.

Hey, what are we gonna do
about bathing?

Why don't you folks

learn to take cold showers,
like me?

Because we're not married
to Mrs. Bookman.

I'll remember that remark
the next time

your old man
asks for a favor.

Look here, Bookman.

I've had the final straw--

Not now, J.J.

Bookman is just leaving.

Arrivederci,lardo.

Who do you think

you're calling
"Arrivederci"?

I was born
right here in Chicago.

Oh, please.

Oh, Ma, how come

you didn't let me
tell that dude off?

Because we still
got two more days

to live here.

So, unless
you wanna sleep

on a concrete mattress,

don't make waves!

When I get my chance,
I'm gonna make a typhoon!

Michael,

are you all right?

Michael,

wait a minute, now.

What happened with you
and Luanne out there?

Because if I think
what happened happened,

this calls
for a celebration!

Wait a minute.

Could it be
he's got his nose open?

In love?
Michael?

He left here a boy,

but came back a man.

[ALL SHOUTING]

Cut it out.

Why don't y'all
cut it out?!

I am in love.

And I'm not going
to Mississippi.

Oh, don't worry,
it's just puppy love.

Yeah, out of sight,
out of mind.

A week from now,

he won't even know
who this chick is.

He'll have forgot
all about--

I don't care what anybody says.

I'm not leaving Chicago.

Michael, if this
is supposed to be

some kind of joke,
like J.J.'s wig,

I don't think it's funny,

and you're upsetting Ma.

Michael, you can't stay here
by yourself.

Where would you live?

I could stay
with Willona.

You can't stay
with Willona.

I can so
stay with Willona.

Doesn't anyone want
to ask Willona?

Well?

Well, leave Willona
out of this.

I'm going to get ready
for the party.

See you all later.

All right, Michael.

What's this all about?

Well, Ma,
I'm in love with Luanne,

and she's in love with me.

That's what she
had to tell me.

Oh, Michael,
don't you think

you're a little young
for all this?

Romeo and Juliet
were young.

Michael, you wanna end up
O.D.ed like them?

J.J.,

please don't
make jokes.

You've had many
girlfriends before,

but this is
the first one for me.

Michael, don't be juvenile.

Now, there are
a lot of pebbles on the beach.

Except all the beaches
are closed

because of pollution.

Well, I don't care.
I'm not going.

I don't believe this!

Everything's set for us to go.

The party is tonight,

telegrams are coming in,

and Michael's worrying
about his little league romance.

Now stop that, Thelma.

This is important
to Michael.

That's right.

It's the first time
I've ever been in love,

and it took me
14 years to get to it.

I don't want to wait
another 14 years

for the next one.

Michael...

nothing will ever again

be as sweet
as your first love,

but you're gonna
fall in love

so many times,

you won't be able
to keep up count with it.

Michael...

sweetheart, the reason
your father went down

to Mississippi

is to make
a new and better life

for his family.

Now, I know
how important Luanne is,

but your father wants us
in Mississippi,

and where your daddy
wants us to go

is where we're going,

so you're just gonna
have to tell Luanne.

But, Ma,
I don't know how.

Oh,
the words will come.

You'll see.

Don't worry, Michael.

I'll help you.

We can tell her

and Olivia the Octopus
at the party tonight.

[LAUGHS]

I just hope
that all that crying

Olivia's gonna be doing,

she don't water down
the Kool-Aid.

I don't know.

Michael...

we can't pass up
this opportunity

to get out
of the ghetto,

because it may
never come again.

Now, if you don't wanna
come along with us...

[STERNLY]
That's tough,

because you're
going anyway,

if I have to drag you
by the ears.

[DISCO MUSIC PLAYING]

[SCREAMS IN JOY]

Too much.

Too much.

Hey, there, Willona,
honey child,

sweet magnolia blossom,

this is sure is
a nice little cotillion

you all fixed up for us all,

and us all sure appreciate y'all
going through the problems.

J.J., are you high,

or is your mouth
out of order?

No, Willona,

I'm just boning up
on how to talk Southern.

They don't talk
like that anymore.

Shows you how much
you know.

I got that

from Jimmy Carter's
acceptance speech.

Luanne ain't
here yet.

Oh, she'll be here,
Michael.

Girls like to make
an entrance.

They sure do.

In the meantime,
get me some ice cubes, okay?

All right,

and if Luanne comes
while I'm gone,

you lay off, J.J.,

and no funny looks,
Thelma.

She can't help it.

She was born
with that face.

Hey, hey, watch out.
Cool it.

I told her we were
a non-violent family.

Uh-huh.

Whoo, Willona, you sure
put on some spread.

Oh, thank you,
sugar.

You just better be talking
about that food.

Well, well,
well, well, uh...

Uh...

Err, uh...

Funny, your name just
happens to slip my mind.

Yes,
that is funny.

Just give me
the initials.

I'll come right up
with it.

I doubt it.

Oh, hold on, then,
just give me your name.

I'll come up
with the initials.

Uh, Nancy?

Mary?

Edie?

Roxanne?

Uh-uh.

Uh, Teresa? Linda?

Michelle?

Am I getting warm?

No, you're
getting cold.

Hi, Luanne.

Hi, Michael.

Luanne!

I knew
I'd come up with it.

Hey, wanna dance?

All right.

Hey, J.J., when are we

gonna tell the girls?
Later. Later, man.

Hey, J.J.

Hey!

You have not danced
with me all night.

Olivia, you see what's happened

is that there are
so many foxes here,

that I have to dance with them
in alphabetical order,

and I'm only up to the Gs.

Well, just call me,
"Go-livia."

Look out,
dancing on.

Turn it around.

Hey, J.J., when are we
gonna tell the girls?

Later, bro.

The night is young,

and I am so beautiful.

[ALL HOLLERING]

[SCREAMS]

What are you
doing here?

I've had some complaints

about the music
and the noise.

What?

The music
and the noise!

I can't hear you

through the music
and noise.

Hey, Booker, baby,

I don't remember
inviting you.

Yeah,
didn't you read the sign?

"Come as you are,
unless you are the janitor."

Right.

[SHOUTING]
You know,

on top of all the other trouble
you've caused around here,

[MUSIC STOPS]
now th--

On top of all the trouble
you've caused around here,

now this.

You know, I've had complaints
from two tenants.

Mrs. Evans, you know the rules.

Three complaints,
and you're out.

You said you only had
two complaints, fatsy.

The third complaint

was when
Mrs. Evans said

she couldn't understand
what I was saying.

Oh, that's it.

J.J., he's all yours.

Tell him.

Well, Mr. Bookman...
Get 'em, tiger.

Mr. Bookman,

or as you're more
affectionately known:

"Buffalo Butt..."

[ALL LAUGH]

...you are so dumb

that if you tried
to flush a toilet

you couldn't,

even if the instructions
were written on the handle.

[SHOUTING]

Furthermore,
your dumbness

is only exceeded
by your fatness.

Whenever you have to go
to the movies,

you have to get two tickets,

one for each side
of the aisle.

And talk about mean.

You are so mean,

that if you ever went to get
a heart transplant,

you'd be plumb out of luck,

because you wouldn't have
nothing to trade in.

That's right.

Okay, that's all right.

You guys have had it.

You're out, spelled O-U-T.

Evicted. Gone. Bye.

Oh, yeah?

Well, you can't fire us,
because we quit!

What are you talking about?

That's right.

We're moving
to Mississippi,

and you know
how that's spelled:

M-I...

ALL:
* Crooked letter,
crooked letter, I *

* crooked letter,
crooked letter, I *

* humpback, humpback, I **

[ALL LAUGH]

So...

you can take
this apartment

and stuff it
in your furnace.

Maybe some
of the other tenants

will get some heat.

I'm appalled.

J.J.,
you were great.

You couldn't have
done it better

if you were
James himself.

MICHAEL:
Hey, J.J.,

now do we tell the girls
that we're leaving them?

Well, now's as good
a time as any.

But let me do
the talking.

[J.J. CLEARS THROAT]

Uh, ladies,

me and Michael
have something

very, very, very
important to tell you.

Yeah.

See how hard
she's taking it, Michael?

Yeah, I see.

See,
our whole family,

which encompasses
Michael and myself,

are moving to Mississippi.

Oh, no!

I don't believe it!

I believe it.

Hey, Leon!

About Saturday night,
it's cool.

Michael,
check this out.

She's in a state
of shock.

She look like
she don't care to me.

Michael, that's the
worst kind of shock.

Luanne,

if you don't want me to go,
then I don't know what I'll do.

Oh, Michael, of course,
I don't want you to go,

but I know you have to be
with your family.

I'll write you every day.

And I'll come visit you
when school's out.

Come visit me
on Easter too.

Yeah, and Christmas.

MICHAEL:
Hey, and summers too.

LUANNE:
Right.

Hey, J.J.,

what about
the telegrams?

Now's as good a time as any
to read them.

Ladies and gentlemen,

ladies and gentlemen.

Lend me your ears

and all the rest
that's attached.

We are about to read
the telegrams, now.

All right!

We started
the evening off

with just seven wires
and now we've got 12.

That's what I call
inflation.

MICHAEL:
I'll take one.

Wow, let me read
this thing here.

All right, now.

It says,
"Good luck on your move.

"May there always be a place
in your heart

"and on your
sofa for me.

Signed, Grandpa."

[ALL CHEER]

Whoo!
Listen to this one.

"Sounds like
a great party,

"but wish it were
somewhere else.

Signed,
the people downstairs."

Who are not invited.

I've got one.
I've got one.

It says here

that 10 votes
in your name

have been stuffed in
a ballot box in Chicago.

Signed,
Alderman Fred Davis.

This is a cute one.

Chicago's loss
is Mississippi's gain.

Signed, Gladys Knight.

And these three here

must be from the Pips.

Hold it!

Here's one
from Mississippi!

It must be
from James!

From Dad,
let me check this out here.

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!

If it's from Mississippi,
it's mine.

It's probably
one of your daddy's:

"Have mercies."

Open
it slowly.

Oh.

Mrs. James Evans.

That's me.

"We regret to inform you
that your husband,

"James Evans, was...

killed in an automo--"

Oh, my God.
