ANNOUNCER:
Now for the conclusion

of "J.J.'s New Career."

All right, J.J.,
get outta my room now.

I gotta get dressed, too,
you know.

J.J.:
In a minute, Thelma.

Look, you been in there
an hour already.

How long does it take
to cover those bones?

Relax, Thelma.

J.J.'s new job
is very important to him.

He's only trying to look good.

Ma, I got no time
for miracles.

And Michael,
I need the bathroom, too.

Thelma, here's
your makeup.

Put it on
out there.

Oh, that's great,

and what am I supposed
to put it on with?

Very cute.

Hey, hey.

[YELLING]
J.J., get out of my room!

If you'd leave him alone,
he'll get out sooner.

He can't just put on
any old clothes

to go to work
in an advertising agency.

Why not?

He only works
in the art department.

Oh, Thelma. You should
be proud of J.J.

He's turned out to be

the biggest breadwinner
of us all.

Yeah, and he'll never
let us forget it.

Well, well, well.

Just putting
the finishing touches

on the finishing touches.

Yeah, just look at him.

All tan and tacky.

Thelma, a lot
you know about clothes.

I'll have you know

this is the style
of the future.

Oh, if you're talking
about science fiction,

you're right.

Hey, Thelma,

this is a new
international look.

This happens to be
my international ensemble.

Combined here

is the tasteful understatement
of the English,

the elegant flair of the French,

and the electric
boogie-down of Harlem.

Oh, J.J.,

you look absolutely beautiful.

Say that again, Ma,

and the truth
shall set you free.

My son, the big businessman.

Well,
let's face it, Ma.

Some people
got it,

and some people
ain't got it.

And some people
are full of it.

Now, Thelma, that's enough.

What do you want
for breakfast, J.J.?

Aw, nothing, Ma.

I got a high-level
business lunch today,

and I want to save room
for the Egg McMuffin.

Michael,
my attaché case, please.

Hey, J.J.,
this is a beauty, man.

It sure is,
but it looks expensive.

Is that real leather?

Let me put it to you
this way, Ma.

If it was any more real,
you'd have to milk it.

[IMITATES COW MOOING]

J.J., you'd better
be careful

how much money
you're spending.

Don't worry, Ma,
I got a good job.

Yeah, it's almost too good.

They sure are
paying you a lot of money

for somebody with no experience.

[CLEARS THROAT]
Uh, well,

uh, I guess it's getting
a little late here, Ma.

Are you ready to go?

Oh, sure.

I'd like
to show you off

to those women
at the bus stop.

Well, well, well.

Let's get on
our way, then.

Shall we?

Okay.

Well, as we say
in the ad game,

let's put it
on the bus

and see if it gets off
at the loop.

All right, then, let's see,

that was, uh,

35 bucks
on Solid Greens to win.

Right?

Right. You got it.
Later.

Hey, here, man,
now count the 50s.

Hey, with pleasure,
with pleasure.

One General Grant,
two General Grant,

three General Grant...

George, what you doing in here?

You know, it takes 50 of you
to make one General Grant.

No wonder you could only afford
wooden teeth.

There you go, Leon.

All right.

Hey, Ernie, we got
close to $3800 here.

Hey, uh, Leon,

I know what we doing
is illegal,

but it ain't that bad, is it?

Of course not.

I mean, we don't
hurt anybody.

I mean, the state
runs lotteries, don't they?

And that's gambling,
so why can't we?

Hey, that's what

free enterprise
is all about.

Sure.
ERNIE: Hey, Leon,

it's almost 3:00, man.
We gotta split.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I forgot.

Hey, J.J, we gotta go talk
to a few, um, policy runners.

Think you can handle the phones?

Ha! Does Jimmy Carter
have teeth?

All right.

Right. We'll be back
as soon as we can, huh?

All right.

Let's go, Leon.

Have no fear.

Wherever you go,

Brother J
shall come through

win, place, or show.

All right.

Take it slow.

Okay, later on.

Well, well, well.

Alone at last.

Boy, with this
high pile in here,

this is something else.

Feet, enjoy yourselves.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

Ah, the telephon-o.

Yello.

Yeah, $20 on Steel Beauty?

Yeah, he's a long shot,
all right.

He ain't even in the race.

Yeah, he been scratched.

I don't know why.

Maybe he came down
with the swine flu.

[SECOND TELEPHONE RINGS]

All right, got you.

On the nose.

Yello.

Yeah, 50 bucks on Yellow Angel?

Yeah. Oh, definitely.

He goes off at 10 to one.

Yeah, that's too bad,

because other horses
leave at a quarter to one.

[FIRST TELEPHONE RINGS]

All right, got it.

Fifty on the head.

Yello.

Yeah.

Three No Starch.

Wash Their Buttons.

Pick It Up on Thursday.

Wait a minute,
these horses ain't in the race.

No, man,

this ain't Wong Long Fat's
Chinese Hand Laundry.

Hold it right there.
This is a bust.

A bust!

Don't you
play dumb with me.

Up against the wall.
Spread 'em.

I'm telling you,
you got the wrong man.

And you got
the wrong cook.

When was the
last time you ate?

J.J.'s swallowing
the whole thing,

hook, line, and sinker.

Yeah, and old Fred's
putting on a great act, too.

I'm telling you,
I ain't never

been in this apartment
before in my life.

Then what are you
doing here now?

Uh, I was
making a delivery

for a takeout joint.

In a suit?

It's a very fancy
joint.

Even got an unlisted
telephone number.

There's nobody here.
Where's the food?

Or, uh...
I ate it.

And that's when
you took your shoes off.

Had to.

Japanese restaurant.

I'd have to be
a total imbecile

to believe that story.

It would help.

You can cool the
tap-dancing shtick, man.

I've got you
nailed for gambling.

Fact is, this might be
a bigger collar than I thought.

Weren't you hooked up

with Bubba Jones'
floating crap game?

Wait a minute.

I don't even know
any Bubba Jones,

and I ain't
floated nothing

since my rubber duck
drowned.

I know I've seen
your face before.

That's it.

The armored car job
in '63.

'63?

I was only
seven years old then.

Started young, huh?

I wanna
talk to Kojak.

Wait a minute.

I've got it.

Boy, have I got it.
This'll make me Chief of Police.

Now I know what you did.

What did I do?

Where were you the night
they broke into Watergate?

Watergate?

[SCREAMS]
Ma!

Fred, Fred,
you gotta stop.

I can't stand
anymore.

Fred?
You know him?

He's a friend, man.

You've been
put on.

But, but...
he had a badge.

It was real.

Ah, but he's
in our pocket.

[FORCED LAUGH]

Why, I knew it was a joke

all the time.

Look here, J.J.

We've had a pretty big
week this week,

you know, and, um,

you've been
a good brother

about this
whole thing, so...

Why don't you take
this little bonus here.

Go on, home.

Well, it ain't hardly little,
but I'll take it.

Do you guys think

you can handle
the operation

without me around?

Well, we'll try.

All right, then.
Cherry-ho.

Okay.

Hey, uh, speaking of bonuses,

I think it's time
for your weekly contribution

to my personal
benevolent association.

Always glad
to contribute.

Hey.

This bread was okay

when you guys
were just into gambling,

but now that you're into
chicks and dope, too...

I feel
benevolent already.

Hey, uh, this new kid,

he doesn't know about
the heavy stuff, does he?

LEON:
J.J.?

Yeah, he just thinks
we're into gambling.

Don't let him
sniff too close.

Right.

Later.

Well...

Ho, ho, ho,
and Merry Christmas

from your
ebony Santa Claus.

Here you go, Michael.

Hey, J.J.,
what's this?

Just open it, man.

Here you go, Thelma.
Ah!

And don't worry, Ma.
Yours is on the way.

J.J., what's going on?

Hey, Ma, is it
against the law

for a man to buy presents
for his loved ones...

Or Thelma?

Hey, this is just like
Christmas.

Oh, Ma, look.
A clock radio.

Yeah, Thelma,

it's AM and FM,

and I got it with that
special shatterproof glass,

since your face
is gonna be

the first thing
it sees in the morning.

Oh, wow, The Encyclopedia
of Black History.

Yeah, Michael,
from A to Z.

From Hank Aaron
to the Zulus.

MICHAEL:
Hey, thanks, J.J.

Yeah.
Thank you, J.J.

Hey, it ain't no big deal.

Well, I gotta go wash up,
so enjoy, enjoy.

Hey, Thelma,
let me see your clock.

Hey, Ma,
you don't seem

very excited
about all this.

Well, I'm just

a little bit
worried, Thelma.

I mean,

where is J.J.
getting all this cash?

Oh, what am I saying?

He's a talented boy,

and that talent
is worth a lot to somebody.

But nobody starts off
in business

making that much money.

Oh, they probably gave him
a big cash advance.

But why in the world
would they do that?

Oh, I don't know why,
and what's the difference?

J.J. is working hard,
he's my son,

and I trust him.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I got it.

Yeah.
Mrs. Florida Evans?

Yes?

Yeah, I have a present here
from Mr. J.J. Evans.

What?

Ooh, Ma.

Look at this!

Hey, Ma,

this is outta sight.

Well, well, well.

I see it finally got here.

You know, Ma, this the best set
in the whole store.

It's got
that special remote control.

You can change channels
in the living room

while you're changing clothes
in the bedroom.

How you like it?

All right, J.J.

Where the devil

did you really
get all this money?

What?
You heard what I said.

Uh,

like I said, Ma,

from my
advertising job.

And that's all you said.

Now, what's
your company's name?

Uh, name, uh,
company's name?

Yes, yes.

What do they have
on your paycheck?

Uh,
"In God We Trust."

I get paid in cash.

An advertising company
with no name?

Who are your clients?

Well, uh,
we get a lot of calls

from animal lovers.

J.J., quit stalling.

Are you doing
something illegal?

Ma, it's not
what you think.

All I do is take
a couple of bets

on horses and numbers,
that's all.

That's all?

That makes you nothing more
than a common hoodlum.

Hey, J.J.,
I don't understand you.

Michael, we needed
the money.

I had to do it.

What do you mean,
you had to do it?

A lot of people
out of work

don't go into crime.

They just keep trying.

Come on, Ma,
let's face it.

If they did a TV show
about our family,

they'd call it
"Poor Man, Poor Man"!

Ma, it's my fault, too.

J.J. did it so I wouldn't have
to quit school to go to work.

Quit school?

Thelma, I'd take four jobs
before I'd let that happen.

And I still
wouldn't take a dime

of your dirty money.

Dirty money?

Ma, everybody gambles.

Life is a gamble.

That's right,

and right now,
yours sure is.

Ma, people
have always gambled,

and they always will.

It's the world's second-
oldest profession.

What's the oldest?

You're too young
to know.

Oh, that.

Ma, let's
look at it this way.

I'm just providing
a public service

for all those poor,
unfortunate people

who can't get out
to the races.

I bring
the track to them.

Everything except
the smell.

What about the smell

of those hoodlums
you hang around with?

J.J., you should
know better than that.

Don't you know that gambling

pays for everything
in organized crime,

from prostitution to drugs?

A part of every dollar
you take in

goes into some child's veins.

Aw, come on, Ma.

We're just
a small-time operation.

I ain't the Godfather!

I mean, what we do
is just a little illegal.

There's no such thing
as a little illegal.

That's like being
a little pregnant.

J.J...

Think about
what you're doing

to the
black community.

Gambling
is a terrible image.

Oh, yeah, Michael?
Well, I think

four people living
in a two-bedroom apartment

paying tomorrow's prices
for yesterday's food

is a worse image.

J.J., there are two roads
out of the ghetto.

So far,
we have managed

to stay
on the right road.

And that's what's taking us
so long to get out of here.

Look, Ma, name me one dude
in the projects

who got a future
that ain't in the rackets.

You,
because you just resigned.

Oh, no, Ma. It's my way out,
and I'm gonna take it.

Then you can start
by getting out of here.

Oh, now, come on, Ma.
You're not being--

Ma, let's be
reasonable.

And take these things
with you.

Ma, you haven't even--

J.J., get the hell
out of my house!

Here's your breakfast.

Uh, Ma? Maybe I should make
the breakfast this morning.

What's the matter?

Don't you like the way
I make oatmeal?

Uh, sure I do.

It's just that
I like mine cooked.

You've got
two hands.

Cook it.

You got any complaints?

No, Ma.
I like mine dry.

Oh, Ma.

We just can't keep on
living like this.

Ever since J.J. left--

Ma, well, you've--

Well, you've
been grouchy.

Grouchy?

Have I been grouchy?

I haven't noticed a thing.

Ma, why don't you see J.J,

or at least
talk to him?

Not as long as
he is a criminal.

Now, I've got to
go to work.

And I don't wanna hear
another word about J.J.

Boy, I tell you.

I've never seen Mama
this mad before.

Yeah, how about last night

when she yelled at me
for a half hour?

That ain't nothing.

She yelled at me
for a whole hour.

Why?

For not
paying attention

while she was
yelling at you.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I'll get it.

Well, something's gotta change.

J.J!

Is the coast clear?

Yeah, man,
come on in.

Ooh, J.J.,

are we glad
to see you!

Yeah, you too. How's Ma?

Not too good.

Yeah, I tried calling,
but she wouldn't talk to me.

J.J., why don't you give it up
and come on home?

Well, look what I got
for y'all.

Top round, bottom of round,

and the eye of round.

For the next month,
y'all gonna be drowned in round.

J.J., now you know

Mama won't let us
keep anything you bought.

Well, can't you
hide it in the freezer?

J.J.,
you know our freezer.

That's like
trying to hide

Rosey Grier
in a shoebox.

J.J., you didn't answer me.
Why don't you come home?

Yeah, man,
we need you.

Hey, Thelma,
it's only till Ma comes around,

and then we can all
get out of here together.

Ma's not gonna come around,
and you know that.

Thelma, you know
I don't like doing this

any more than you all do,

but we gotta live.

J.J.,
we living now.

What you do
is just for yourself.

Hey, Michael,

it's only till
I get out on my own.

What's wrong with that?

Well, uh,

I guess I'd better
be going, then.

THELMA:
J.J.?

Even though we don't agree
with what you're doing,

you know we still love you,
right?

Hey...

That goes without saying,
you know.

But it's nice to hear anyway.

Ah...ha-ha!

Too much!

Too much!

[***]

Well, Kool-Aid juleps
for your two lips.

Hey, J.J.,

where's The Spinners'
new album, man?

Oh, I was listening to it
in my bedroom.

You've got a stereo
in your bedroom, too?

Hey, it's standard equipment
with my heart-shaped waterbed.

Ooh!

J.J., I didn't--

I never seen your
heart-shaped bed before.

Yeah, neither has
any other chick

J.J.'s brought up here.

Saving it all for you, Mama.

Saving it all for you.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

I'll get it.

I'll get it.
I'll get it.

Hello?

You know, J.J.,

I don't know anybody
that lives this good.

You about the
most important person

I've ever met.

Have you ever met
Isaac Hayes?

Uh-uh.

Well, then,
maybe I am.

Right, right!

Okay, girls,
come on.

The party's over.
Let's go.

Get your stuff. Come on, baby.

Hey, wait a--
Get your purses.

Hurry up.

Come on, baby.
We got to go.

Wait--
J.J., wait--

What is this, man?

Come on,
let's go.

Hey, mama,

call me.

My number's
in the book!

What's going down?

Look, that
was Fred, man.

We getting
busted tonight.

Now, Leon, you know
what to do.

You ain't gonna fool me with
this phony bust business again.

Look, this ain't no joke.
Here, get rid of that.

You ain't gonna fool me with no
little water pistol, either,

because if this was a real gun,
you could open it up,

and you'd see...

bullets!

You ain't jiving.

I told you I wasn't.

This is a real bust.

Now you believe me?

Yeah. Bye.

Hey, where
are you going?

Well, ever since
I was a kid,

I've been allergic
to two things...

Chocolate
and getting killed.

Look, you'll split
when we do. Get rid of that.

I don't know
how to get rid of no gun.

Throw it
out the window.

He meant
an open window.

Well, it's open now.

Take that and dump it
down the disposal.

Wait a minute.
What is this stuff?

Drain cleaner.

No, it's not. It's dope!

You guys never told me
you were into dope.

Well, now you know,
so dump it.

I want you to know
I'm dumping under protest.

[STARTS GARBAGE DISPOSAL]

Ernie, we gotta
get out of here.

We don't know
what kind of time we've got.

Just keep cool.
I'm almost done.

Police!

[GUNSHOT]

[POLICE OFFICERS YELLING]

Read him his rights downstairs.

Quite an operation
they had here.

Yeah, I'll say.

Find anything?

No. If anything was here,
it's gone now.

All right,
let's get out of here.

Hello, Ma?

Yes, J.J.?

I wanna come home.

It's your home, son.

Thanks, Ma.
