00:01Well, we're moving on up, to the east side, to a D-Lots apartment in the sky, we're moving on up, to the east side, we've finally got a piece of the pie.
00:22Fits don't fry in the kitchen, beans don't burn on the grill, took a whole lot of trying just to get up that hill. Now we're up in the big leagues, getting our turn at best, as long as we live, it's you and me, baby, there ain't nothing wrong with that.
00:43Well, we're moving on up, to the east side, to a D-Lots apartment in the sky, we're moving on up, to the east side, we've finally got a piece of the pie.
01:13Come on, put down your landing gear, right on Mr. Jefferson's picture, two for the price of one.
01:28Tom, well, at least I got the biggest pest.
01:32Oh, there you are.
01:42One, two, three.
01:49Lars, what are you doing?
01:51Trying to get rid of a little devil that's been bugging me all day.
01:54Oh, is George home already?
01:59Well, how do things go down at the help center?
02:00Not so good. Our landlord there is raising the rent, and we do not have it in the budget.
02:07Oh, that's a shame.
02:08And the board is putting me in charge of raising more money.
02:12Weezy, give me a drink!
02:15George, don't yell at me like that.
02:17Sorry, Weezy. Flowers, give me a drink!
02:22All right, mighty mouth.
02:25Why are you in such a good mood?
02:27Because I'm getting killed.
02:29Killed? By whom?
02:30The plant that does my dry cleaning.
02:32They raised the price on me again.
02:34George, it can't be a matter of life and death.
02:36No, it's more important than that.
02:38It's a matter of money.
02:39Every time their prices go up, my profits go down.
02:42Well, maybe you should think about opening your own cleaning plant.
02:46Look, Weezy, not only did I think about it,
02:49I've been out trying to find a building, and it's hopeless.
02:51Oh, thank you.
02:54Mr. Jefferson, don't move!
02:56Come on, what a...
02:57Shh!
03:02Gotcha!
03:05Nasty thing.
03:09Kept sampling the mincemeat pie I made this morning.
03:11Well, in that case, you ain't got nothing to worry about.
03:13It would have died soon anyway.
03:20Do you know how expensive it is to try to lease a building in this city?
03:24As a matter of fact, I do.
03:26They're raising the rent at the help center,
03:28and we're a non-profit organization.
03:30Yeah, well, if I don't find a building to lease soon,
03:32at my price,
03:33I'm gonna be a non-profit organization.
03:34Is there a reason you can't buy a building?
03:38Yeah, there are a million reasons,
03:40all of them green.
03:45That was Miss Willis.
03:46They just got back from Syracuse,
03:47and she's coming down to get the mail.
03:49I wonder how the funeral went.
03:51She didn't say.
03:52Of course, any funeral's okay if you ain't the guest of honor.
03:59And if you had to be the guest of honor,
04:01I can't think of a better one than Tom's father.
04:03George, that's a terrible thing to say.
04:08Tom was very considerate when Mother Jefferson passed away.
04:11That's different, Weezy.
04:12Mom and me were close.
04:14Willis and his father didn't speak to each other.
04:16Well, that doesn't mean they didn't love each other.
04:19She's right,
04:20because I've been madly in love with a guy for two years,
04:22and I ain't talked to him once.
04:24Why not?
04:25Because I don't know Billy Dee Williams' phone number.
04:27Why don't we invite Tom and Helen down for dinner tonight?
04:37Because they might show up.
04:40George, Helen's been out of town for a week.
04:43She probably doesn't have any food in the house.
04:45Forget it, Weezy.
04:47Tom and Helen are not coming to dinner,
04:48and that's that.
04:49Oh, that must be Helen.
04:51Now, don't you forget to offer her your sympathy.
04:54She's had my sympathy ever since I met her husband.
04:59Oh, welcome home, Helen.
05:01Oh, come on in.
05:03Thanks, Louise.
05:04It is good to be back.
05:06How did everything go?
05:08Well, it was pretty cold up there.
05:10Oh, that's a shame.
05:11The weather was nice here.
05:13I'm talking about Tom's relatives.
05:15Most of them are just like his father.
05:17They're dead, too?
05:18From the neck up.
05:24Ever since Tom and I got married,
05:26they've treated us like creatures from outer space.
05:28Yeah, from the planet Zebra.
05:36George!
05:38I'll get your mail, Helen.
05:43Tom said to thank you for the flowers.
05:45He'll probably stop by when he gets back from looking at the warehouse.
05:49What warehouse?
05:50His father's estate included an empty warehouse over on 10th Avenue in the 40s.
05:55You mean to tell me that Tom owns a warehouse over on 10th Avenue?
05:59He will now.
06:00What's he going to do with it?
06:02Well, I don't think he's decided yet.
06:04Oh, that's a perfect location.
06:06For what?
06:08For, uh, for Tom to own an empty warehouse.
06:13Here you are, Helen.
06:14Oh, thanks.
06:16Well, I guess...
06:16Hey, wait a minute!
06:17What's the matter, George?
06:18Weezy, I just came up with a great idea.
06:21Why don't we invite the Willises over here for dinner tonight?
06:24But, George...
06:30Look, Weezy, they've been out of town for a week and Helen probably doesn't have any food
06:33in the house, right?
06:34Well, George, I...
06:35Look, I insist, Weezy.
06:37Tom and Helen are coming down for dinner tonight.
06:39And that's that.
06:41George, sometimes you amaze me.
06:44Thank you, Weezy.
06:45We'd love to have you, Helen.
06:53About six.
06:54Great.
06:55I'll bring some wine.
06:56Oh, don't forget to bring Tom.
06:58And bring Alan, too.
07:00We'd love to see him.
07:01Yeah, right.
07:02Bring Alan, too.
07:03Okay.
07:04See you later.
07:07Who the hell is Alan?
07:11Tom and Helen's son, remember?
07:13Oh, yeah, the one with the bad luck.
07:16Bad luck?
07:17Yeah, he turned out white.
07:21Well, he sure got a lot of black in him.
07:24Because the last time you saw Alan, he beat you at playing the dozens.
07:27Beat me?
07:28Look, Weezy, ain't no halfway honking or beat me playing no dozens.
07:33I remember the exact words.
07:36You better get off my back and leave me alone,
07:39because the teeth you save will be your own.
07:41Oh, shoot, that's an old one.
07:44I know.
07:44That's the one you said.
07:47Then Alan said,
07:49You got hips like a snake and a face like a shoe.
07:52You a jive turkey fake who was born in the zoo.
07:55Weezy.
07:58And he said,
07:59If it wasn't for the fact that you're five foot two,
08:02Can it, Weezy?
08:02Like white on rice, I'd be all over you.
08:04Louise,
08:07I said to can it.
08:11Now, what does that two-tone turkey do in here anyway?
08:14He came back for the funeral,
08:16and now he's visiting with his parents.
08:18How do you know that?
08:19Helen told me before they left.
08:21Oh, Weezy, look,
08:22can't you call Helen and tell her that you're sorry
08:24we only got enough food for her in town?
08:26George,
08:28it won't hurt you to be nice to Alan for one night.
08:32He'll be going home in a couple of days.
08:34Where's home?
08:35I think he's living somewhere in New Mexico.
08:38New Mexico?
08:39Hmm.
08:40If he was smart, he'd move to Alaska.
08:42Alaska?
08:43Sure, with the Willis's as his parents,
08:45he'd make a perfect Eskimo pie.
08:47I got it.
09:02Well, well, well,
09:04look who's here, Weezy,
09:05our best friends.
09:06No, George, it's just Helen and me.
09:08Oh, what a joke, Oh, Weezy?
09:13Come on in.
09:15Here's a wine, Louise.
09:16Oh, thanks, Helen.
09:18Oh, where's Alan?
09:19Oh, he has other plans.
09:20He's upstairs now taking a shower.
09:22I hope he remembers how to use one.
09:24Tom?
09:25Well, it's true.
09:26They don't even have plumbing in that commune he lives in.
09:29Tom, Alan bathes every day in a river.
09:32What's the difference?
09:33The difference is he's our son, not a trout.
09:37Oh, calm down, Tom.
09:39You've been on Alan's back ever since he got home.
09:41I can't help it, Helen.
09:43I didn't spend all these years raising my kids
09:45so we could run off and live in the desert
09:46with a bunch of weirdos.
09:47Tom, I don't understand.
09:48Oh, come on, Helen.
09:49Let's go help Florence with dinner.
09:51Good idea.
09:52She can use all the help she can get.
09:54Right, Tom, old buddy?
09:58That doesn't sound like Tom.
10:00He's usually so open-minded.
10:02When it comes to his only son, Tom's open mind closes.
10:07Hey, look what we got here, Willis.
10:08Some of those little cheese things you like so much.
10:11Oh, thanks, George.
10:12Go ahead, take a whole handful.
10:13I got them especially for you.
10:15Eating does help me when I'm upset.
10:17Oh.
10:19Oh.
10:20I hear your father left you a...
10:21I don't believe it.
10:22How can a kid Alan's age have no goals at all?
10:25Look, will you forget about that old crazy kid of yours?
10:27Now, what do you want to drink?
10:31Huh?
10:32Drink!
10:32Oh, uh, scotch.
10:33No, Alan spent two years...
10:35Speaking of scotch,
10:37Helen tells me that you inherited a warehouse.
10:39What does scotch have to do with a warehouse?
10:42Well, after they make the scotch,
10:44they store it where they store it.
10:45The warehouse, right?
10:48Right, I guess.
10:49Oh, some out of ice.
10:52I'll get some.
10:54Yeah, after you do that,
10:55we'll sit down and have a nice, long talk, okay?
10:58About what?
10:59Well, I'll think of something.
11:04Hi, Mr. Jefferson.
11:07Alan Willis.
11:08Remember me?
11:09Oh, yeah, the white sheep of the family.
11:13You haven't changed a bit.
11:15You have.
11:16You're whiter.
11:19Like I said, you haven't changed a bit.
11:22Peace, brother?
11:23Takes more than a handshake to make a brother.
11:25Yeah.
11:27It takes heart and soul to make a brother.
11:29And you ain't got one, nor the other.
11:34Now, don't start that again.
11:35Why?
11:36You afraid I'm gonna beat you again?
11:37What do you want?
11:39Well, I want to talk to my father.
11:40Well, he don't want to talk to you.
11:41You've upset him already.
11:42But there's something I gotta tell him.
11:43Okay, tell me.
11:44I'll see that he gets the message.
11:45You get the message?
11:46Mr. Jefferson, look.
11:48Let me lay this out for you in black and white.
11:51No, I better not do that because you'd only understand half of it.
11:58Look, I don't want you busting in here, spoiling my evening.
12:01Now, you say what you gotta say and get out.
12:03Okay.
12:03Just tell my dad a lawyer just called from Syracuse.
12:07My grandfather's will left everything to me.
12:09Uh-huh.
12:09Okay, now you said it.
12:10Now I got something to say to you.
12:13You're a sugar-coated zebra, dirtying up my pan.
12:16Now, you better stay out of my face before I make you wish you hang.
12:22Go ahead.
12:23The will left everything.
12:40He's got the warehouse.
12:41Oh!
12:41Oh!
12:44Oh!
12:44Oh!
12:45Oh!
12:45Oh!
12:46Oh!
12:49Come on, blood.
12:50I was only joking.
12:51I call all my best friends zebra.
12:54You do, huh?
12:56Well, just a black and white one.
12:57Ha!
12:58Ha!
12:58Ha!
12:59Ha!
13:00Ha!
13:01Oh!
13:02Hey, y'all.
13:03Look who I found.
13:04Hi, sweetheart.
13:05I thought you were going out.
13:06Well, I was, but...
13:07But he decided to come down here and have dinner with us first, right?
13:10Why, hello, Alan.
13:12How have you been?
13:14Fine, Mrs. Jefferson.
13:15Oh, man, you're looking clean as ever.
13:19Why, thank you.
13:20I hope you're staying for dinner.
13:22Oh, I'm sorry.
13:23I can't.
13:23You sure can't dress like that.
13:25Cool it, Willis.
13:26The kids dress fine.
13:27Hey, I'm sorry, Dad.
13:29My tuxedo's in the cleaners.
13:31Don't get smart with me.
13:33Hey, take it easy, Willis.
13:34He's only joking.
13:35You got a great touch of humor there, kid.
13:38Hey, listen.
13:39We're friends.
13:40Call me Zebra.
13:44Hey!
13:45Try some of these.
13:46They're great.
13:47Little cheese things.
13:48I made them especially for you.
13:50Thanks, Mrs. Jefferson.
13:52I'll get drinks.
13:54What would everybody like?
13:55Bourbon for me, Louise.
13:57Tom.
13:57Uh, scotch.
13:58Alan.
13:59I pass.
13:59You sure do.
14:01I'm just joking.
14:06Mom, Dad, there's something I want to tell you.
14:09While I was upstairs...
14:10You didn't break the shower, did you?
14:11Tom.
14:13A lawyer called about the will.
14:14Grandpa left everything to me.
14:17To you?
14:17Yeah, yeah.
14:18Listen, I'm sorry.
14:19I figure he did it just to make you mad.
14:21He wasn't the most liberal guy in the world.
14:23Yeah, dumb honky.
14:24Nothing I hate worse than a bigot.
14:31Dad, about the will.
14:32Oh, I don't care about that.
14:34As long as you put the money to good use.
14:35Uh, well, you know, if I ever do inherit any kind of bread like that, I am supposed to
14:40share it with the other members of our commune.
14:42Now, wait a minute.
14:43If you think...
14:43Hey, take it easy, Willis.
14:45Alan has the right to live his own life.
14:47If the will says the warehouse is his, he can do whatever he wants with it.
14:49Look, George.
14:50Now, what you should do...
14:51What you should do with it is sell the warehouse and use the money.
14:53No, you don't sell it.
14:54Why not?
14:55It costs too much.
14:58Huh?
14:58I mean, uh, uh, what you should do is lease it.
15:01In fact, you should lease it at a loss.
15:03At a loss?
15:04Yeah, that way you make money and you get back a bundle in taxes.
15:07Don't you know nothing about business?
15:10Look, I already know what I'm gonna do with the warehouse.
15:13You do?
15:14Gonna give it to you, Dad.
15:15It's really yours anyway.
15:16Okay.
15:28He's right, Willis.
15:30It's up to you now to lease it.
15:31I'll tell you what.
15:32What if I lease the warehouse and use the money to send you back to school?
15:36Uh, let's talk about this later, Dad.
15:38I gotta get going.
15:39Hey, leave some of those for your father.
15:43Alan, honey, maybe you should listen to what your father has to say and...
15:47Later, Mom.
15:49Dad, real nice seeing you again, Mrs. Jefferson, and, uh, Mr. Jefferson.
15:54Well, Willis, looks like you're stuck with that warehouse again.
16:01But don't worry.
16:02I'm sure you'll find somebody to take it off your hands.
16:05Why don't we all sit down and have a nice, enjoyable dinner?
16:09Oh, if only Alan would...
16:11With no more talk about Alan or your father's will, understand?
16:15I can wait till tomorrow.
16:16What?
16:17I said, what are we gonna do?
16:18Wait until tomorrow?
16:19Let's eat.
16:23Right hand blue.
16:24I have a look at that one.
16:25I'll be right back.
16:27Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.
16:31Oh, hello, George.
16:32Hi, Alan, is Tom home?
16:33No, he had to go to a business meeting.
16:35About the warehouse?
16:36No, something at the publishing house.
16:38Oh, when's he gonna be back?
16:40He should be home soon.
16:41You want him to call you?
16:42Yeah, good idea.
16:43Oh, you got my phone number, don't you?
16:47Yes, George.
16:48Just checking.
16:51Can you hurry?
16:53Right.
16:53Right foot green.
16:56Right foot green.
16:57Okay, I get it.
16:59Oh!
17:00Yay!
17:01The winner and still champion.
17:07So much for the great white hope.
17:08Oh.
17:11You two want to play again?
17:12No, thanks, Mom.
17:13I've suffered enough defeat for today.
17:15Well, we could call it a tie.
17:17Well, you know what they say about a tie.
17:19It's like kissing your sister.
17:21Hey!
17:22But whoever said that didn't have you for a sister.
17:25Oh.
17:26Well, I know I'm glad I got you for a brother.
17:30Well, you remember when I was in the fourth grade and Ralph Whitaker, he kept pulling my
17:34hair and calling me Jenny, Jenny, pick-a-ninny.
17:39Well, after I told you about it, he'd never bother me again.
17:43What did you do, Alan?
17:44Oh, I just asked Ralphie to stop it.
17:47When that didn't work, I just went upside his head with my pencil box.
17:50Did he get home yet?
17:53No, I said, but...
17:55I thought maybe he tried to call while I was in the elevator.
17:58George!
17:59I'll just wait for him.
18:00But I...
18:01You better get that.
18:02It might be for you.
18:04Hi, Mr. Jefferson.
18:07Boy, do you believe that Mom and Dad saved all this?
18:10Hey, Jen, look.
18:12This is the record we used to play to practice our dance lessons.
18:15Oh, yeah.
18:17Remember, we hated dancing together.
18:19That don't surprise me.
18:21You probably wanted to do the funky chicken.
18:22He wanted to do the poker.
18:37Um, Mr. Jefferson, would you mind?
18:42I guess not.
18:43No, I meant, would you mind leaving us alone?
18:52Hmm.
18:55Okay, I'll come back later.
18:57Sorry, Mr. Jefferson, but Jenny and I haven't had a chance to talk in three years.
19:00That ain't my fault.
19:01You don't want to keep running off that dumb commune.
19:03Ma'am, that little dude's mouth should be declared a disaster area.
19:10Aw.
19:12Don't let him bother you.
19:13Right.
19:14May I have this dance, young lady?
19:17Oh, I thought you'd never ask.
19:21Gee, you're sure looking good, Jenny.
19:24Marriage agrees with you.
19:25Yeah, it does.
19:27Well, doesn't the commune agree with you?
19:31Sure, why?
19:32Well, you went to the commune to find out about yourself, right?
19:36Yeah.
19:37Well, what did you find out?
19:39Are you white or black?
19:41I found out I'm me.
19:46Oh, well, look at me.
19:47Now that you got that together, why do you have to go back?
19:51Have you got any better suggestions?
19:53Well, you finished two years of college.
19:55Now, you could go back to school and get your degree, but you could get a job.
20:00I could what?
20:01Oh, you could tell me to shut up.
20:04I sound just like Daddy.
20:05I'm sorry.
20:06You don't sound like Dad.
20:08He wouldn't say sorry.
20:09Sorry for what?
20:11Oh, hi, Daddy.
20:15Hi, Jenny.
20:16Alan?
20:17Hi, Dad.
20:19I just talked to your father's lawyer.
20:23There's a clause in the will that prohibits Alan from giving the property to anybody on
20:27our side of the family.
20:29My father's causing more trouble for us now than when he was alive.
20:33Well, look, I gotta be going.
20:35I gotta get down to the Jeffersons and pick up something for Lionel.
20:38Bye, Daddy.
20:39Oh, I'll go with you, Jenny.
20:40I want to talk to Louise about the health center.
20:43Be back later, honey.
20:47Bye, Alan.
20:48Bye, sis.
20:54Alan.
20:54It's good to have you home again.
20:58Well, son, now that you have the warehouse...
21:06Dad, please don't tell me what to do.
21:09What makes you think I was gonna tell you what to do?
21:11You called me son.
21:13And whenever you call me that, it means you're gonna start preaching.
21:16It does not.
21:17Yes, it does.
21:18Even when I was little.
21:20Son, don't you think you should do your homework?
21:23Well, you never wanted to do your homework.
21:25Dad, I made it through school.
21:27Well, that's not the point.
21:30Dad, who cares?
21:31That's your problem, Alan.
21:32You don't care about anything.
21:34Hey, what's up, buddy?
21:35You mean I just don't care about the same things you do.
21:41What's that supposed to mean?
21:42That means I don't dig where you're coming from,
21:44and I ain't too ecstatic about where you're going.
21:46Oh!
21:47What did he say?
21:49He says you're a fool.
21:55A fool?
21:56Yes, I suppose I am a fool for letting a bum stay in my house.
21:59Yeah, you're right.
22:02You don't want no bums around here.
22:04Where do you think you're going?
22:05I am going back to New Mexico, where nobody hassles me.
22:09Oh, so you're gonna leave just like that, huh?
22:11No.
22:12First, I'm gonna stop downstairs and say goodbye to Mom and Jenny.
22:15Well, that's very nice of you.
22:17Yeah.
22:18I must get my niceness from Mom's side of the family.
22:23Oh, forget about him, Willis.
22:25If you need somebody to talk to, I'm here.
22:28Thanks, George.
22:29Sit down, relax.
22:31Let it all pour out.
22:32Maybe I can help you with your problem.
22:34Oh, it's that kid.
22:35I just don't understand him.
22:36Now that he's got the warehouse...
22:38No, no, no, no.
22:39You got the warehouse.
22:40No, the Will says he can't give it to me.
22:43What?
22:43So, you see, my problem is...
22:46Who cares about your problem?
22:54Alan, couldn't you stick around for a couple of days
22:57and try to work things out with your father?
22:58Mom, if I thought it would do any good, I would.
23:01But if I stay in that apartment, Dad and I will just get farther apart.
23:05Well, why don't you stay with me and Lionel?
23:08Ah, you don't have enough room.
23:09Besides, you and Lionel don't need me interfering with your lives.
23:13Oh, I wish I could help.
23:15But you know George.
23:16It's obvious you can't stay here, Alan.
23:19Weezy, I'm surprised at you.
23:20Why would you have such a low opinion of me?
23:28What?
23:29This kid's in trouble.
23:30I know, but I...
23:32Ain't you got no heart?
23:33There's plenty of room here.
23:35And you can stay here until you and me...
23:37I mean, until you and your father work things out.
23:41You mean you want me to stay here with you?
23:43I insist.
23:44I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
23:49George!
23:50Don't fight me on this, Weezy.
23:52Fight you?
23:53I...
23:53Come on, blood, sit down.
23:55From now on...
23:56My house is your house.
24:01And it won't be long before the roof falls in.
24:05Come on, blood, sit down.
24:34The Jeffersons was videotaped in front of a studio audience.
24:42Move it, move it on, yeah.
