00:00:00There's no place like home
00:00:04With your family around you, you're never alone
00:00:08When you know that you're loved, you don't need to roam
00:00:12Cause there's no place like home
00:00:15Times are changing every day
00:00:20We won't get by with those same old ways
00:00:23Well then together, we'll make it right
00:00:27With help from our friends that know we can find
00:00:31There's no place like home
00:00:34With your family around you, you're never alone
00:00:38When you know that you're loved, you don't need to roam
00:00:42Cause there ain't no place like
00:00:44Better believe it
00:00:46There ain't no place like
00:00:48Better believe it
00:00:50There ain't no place like
00:00:52There's no place like home
00:00:54I mean, no place, child
00:00:57And he's brought down hard by Babcock
00:01:01But it's enough for another Redskins first down
00:01:03All right, all right, all right
00:01:05Refreshments
00:01:07There we go
00:01:10Thanks, baby, you shouldn't have
00:01:20Oh, that's okay, fellas
00:01:23You're welcome
00:01:24Huh?
00:01:25Oh, thanks, babe
00:01:26Yeah, you shouldn't have
00:01:27Oh, hi, sweetheart
00:01:31Hi, Mom
00:01:31You know, you've been closed up in your room so long
00:01:33I was beginning to think you were sick
00:01:35No, I was just studying
00:01:37You through?
00:01:38Well, I got a couple more chapters left
00:01:40Well, it's Sunday and you need a break
00:01:43I know, let's bake a cake
00:01:44Well, Mom, I gotta buckle down
00:01:46College is only four years away
00:01:48I'll let you lick the spoon
00:01:50Well, I'll get it
00:01:52Hi, Brenda
00:01:56Guess what?
00:01:57I just got the new Sheila E album
00:01:59You want to come to my place and listen to it?
00:02:01Yeah, come on
00:02:02Wait a minute
00:02:03I thought you said you had to study
00:02:06Mom, it's Sunday
00:02:08And you said I need a break, right?
00:02:10Bye
00:02:10Bring it 10 to 30, then 20
00:02:14He might go all the way
00:02:15Run with it
00:02:16Go, go, go
00:02:17What a cut
00:02:18What a move
00:02:19That was some cute uniforms
00:02:25Well, they're my favorite colors
00:02:30Honey
00:02:33I thought for your vacation this year
00:02:36We might go to Florida
00:02:37Uh-huh
00:02:38Oh, no, they stopped it
00:02:40It's okay, we're inside the tin
00:02:42You know, we've never been to Florida
00:02:44They say it's nice
00:02:45What do you think?
00:02:46Fine, fine
00:02:47Okay, guys, first and go, go
00:02:49Oh, you know, we could go to Lebanon
00:02:53Three glorious gays in Beirut
00:02:56Almost, almost, we're only one
00:02:59We save a lot of money if we stay in one of the bombed-out rooms
00:03:03We're gonna get you for one time, this is for sure, Charlie
00:03:05Oh, Lester, you haven't heard a word I said
00:03:09Yes, I did, babe
00:03:10What'd I say?
00:03:11You're talking about vacation
00:03:12And it's less money if you stay in one of the bombed-out rooms
00:03:15Bombed-out rooms?
00:03:18Well, why not?
00:03:20As long as football's on, you wouldn't notice if they dropped a bomb in this room
00:03:23Huh?
00:03:26Regan sets the ball
00:03:27He cuts through the line
00:03:28He scores
00:03:28Go, go, go
00:03:30Set down
00:03:31Uh-uh
00:03:40I told you
00:03:48Mary, do you wanna play?
00:03:52No, I gotta go upstairs soon
00:03:53Well, why don't you go up now?
00:03:55Because now, Lester and Charlie are watching highlights of the Super Bowl
00:04:02The early years
00:04:04What did men do before they watched football on TV?
00:04:08They listened to it on the radio
00:04:09Then what did they do before radio was invented?
00:04:13Drew football plays on cave walls
00:04:15Men
00:04:19All they do is sit around second-guessing every play
00:04:22I wouldn't do that
00:04:26You know, Mary
00:04:38If you can't beat him, join him
00:04:40Why don't you try watching the game on television with Lester?
00:04:44I do
00:04:45But I still can't get him to talk to me
00:04:47Some fool invented instant replay
00:04:49You know what really bothers me?
00:04:53There's a whole part of Lester's life that I have nothing to do with
00:04:56And he seems to like it that way
00:04:58Ladies
00:05:00Oh, Sandra
00:05:01Hi, Sandra
00:05:02What have you been up to?
00:05:04I just returned from a titanic clash of NFL rivals
00:05:08You were at the football game?
00:05:10Ah, yes
00:05:11The roar of the crowd, the smell of hot dogs
00:05:15All those men in tight pants patting each other's bottoms
00:05:18I can see you're a real student of the game
00:05:24Sandra, you really like football?
00:05:26Heavens no
00:05:27I simply enjoy being there with a man I like
00:05:30Gives us a chance to get closer
00:05:31Closer?
00:05:32Mm-hmm
00:05:33There's cold in those stands
00:05:34And, well, we must keep warm
00:05:36Why don't you just turn off the heat in your apartment?
00:05:43Ladies and gentlemen
00:05:44Oh, are you trying to tell me that the man actually talks to you during the game?
00:05:50Of course
00:05:51Well, how do you keep him from watching the instant replays?
00:05:54They don't have those at the stadium, Mary
00:05:55What?
00:05:56No pre-game shows?
00:05:57Uh-uh
00:05:58No post-game shows?
00:06:01Uh-uh
00:06:01No Brent Musburger?
00:06:04Nope
00:06:05And at halftime they got this cute little floor show
00:06:08There's plenty of time to get acquainted
00:06:10Hey, that's it
00:06:12I'm going to the football game with Lester
00:06:14Oh, then he'll have to talk to you
00:06:16Unless he brings his TV
00:06:18How do I get tickets for Sunday's game?
00:06:21Oh, you don't
00:06:22It's all sold out
00:06:23It's a classic rivalry
00:06:24How about this week was the classic rivalry?
00:06:27They're all classic rivalry
00:06:28Well, I'm getting some tickets from somewhere
00:06:31And we're going to the game
00:06:32Oh, and how are you going to do that?
00:06:35I don't know
00:06:35Perhaps I can help
00:06:39Perhaps how?
00:06:42It so happens there's this cute little salesman down at the office
00:06:44And he has a pair of season tickets
00:06:46And when he can't get to the game, he offers them to me
00:06:48And if I can't use them, then he offers them to the president
00:06:51How much?
00:06:55Forty
00:06:55Forty?
00:06:56They cost fifty
00:06:57You get them free
00:06:58Not so, Mary
00:06:59It has taken a great deal to cultivate this relationship
00:07:02Designer clothing
00:07:06The right perfume
00:07:08He doesn't give his tickets to just anyone
00:07:10Thirty-five
00:07:12Scalping is illegal
00:07:14Thirty
00:07:14Twenty-five
00:07:16Sounds good
00:07:17It's a deal
00:07:17Of course
00:07:18Now, I'm not sure I can really get them
00:07:21Twenty-five is my final offer
00:07:24No, seriously, Mary
00:07:25Sometimes he doesn't give them away till the last minute
00:07:27I keep checking with him
00:07:28Wait a minute
00:07:29How did you get friendly with this salesman so fast anyway?
00:07:33Lester just got you the job
00:07:34One is put on this earth for such a short time
00:07:37One has to move quickly
00:07:38Well, finally
00:07:47I'll bet you'd given up on me
00:07:49Well, it is Sunday
00:07:50The game starts at one o'clock
00:07:52Sandra always delivers
00:07:54I just got them a while ago
00:07:57Not a minute too soon
00:07:58We'll settle the financial arrangements later
00:08:00Thanks
00:08:01And I prefer cash, please
00:08:03Hey, Lester
00:08:04Hey, Sandra
00:08:05Have a nice day
00:08:07Honey, what are you doing?
00:08:12Tune in to pregame
00:08:12Charlie be here any minute
00:08:13Oh, are you and Charlie gonna sit in front of the TV another Sunday afternoon?
00:08:18Mary, it's the Redskins and the Cowboys
00:08:20It's the game of the year
00:08:21Well, such a nice Sunday afternoon
00:08:24It's a shame you have to be cooped up in front of the television all day
00:08:27That's all
00:08:27Mary, it's the only way I can see the game
00:08:30No, it's not
00:08:32I don't believe it
00:08:34Where'd you get these?
00:08:35Oh, I pulled a few strings
00:08:37Well, let me kiss the fingers that pull those strings
00:08:39That's Charlie, wait, he sees these
00:08:43Hey, man
00:08:46Hey, Lester, ready
00:08:48Regular and barbecue
00:08:49Forget the chips
00:08:51Look at these
00:08:52Mary got you and me tickets to today's Redskins game
00:08:55Ooh, that's terrific
00:08:58See something, ain't she?
00:08:59The best
00:09:00Oh, thanks, Mary
00:09:01You'll take my car
00:09:02Here, baby, you can keep these
00:09:03Uh, Lester
00:09:04Huh?
00:09:05Uh, why don't you come in the kitchen and help me put these away?
00:09:08Hey, Mary, we gotta hurry, we're gonna be late
00:09:09Honey, you know the trouble I have with that top shelf
00:09:11Uh, excuse us, Charlie
00:09:13Hey, this is sweet of you, baby
00:09:16I'm gonna do something real special for you
00:09:18Take you someplace real nice
00:09:20Try RFK Stadium
00:09:22RFK Stadium?
00:09:24That's good
00:09:25I like that
00:09:26You in the stadium, now, that's funny
00:09:28You see me laughing?
00:09:32You wanna go to the game?
00:09:34Right
00:09:34But I only got two tickets
00:09:36Uh-huh
00:09:36Oh, Mary, you got these tickets for you and me
00:09:41But obviously you'd rather spend the time with Charlie
00:09:43But you don't even like football
00:09:45Well, I might if I understood it
00:09:48I thought you'd be happy to go with me
00:09:50Well, I am now that I know I'm going with you
00:09:53This will be my first game
00:09:55And you can explain everything to me
00:09:57Well, right now, let me go and explain this to Charlie
00:10:00I'll fix us some snacks
00:10:01Hey, man, I can't wait
00:10:08This is gonna be a great game
00:10:09They've got two blips
00:10:11Uh, I'll be right back
00:10:14Uh, Mary
00:10:17Oh, honey, do you want chicken sandwiches
00:10:19Or turkey sandwiches, or both?
00:10:21Uh, look, Mary
00:10:22Yes, dear?
00:10:24Uh, bundle up
00:10:24It gets cold in the stadium
00:10:26And forget about that picnic stuff
00:10:28Half the fun is eating the lousy food there
00:10:30Okay
00:10:31Hey, man, you ain't gonna believe this
00:10:35Lester
00:10:35We have seats on the 50-yard line
00:10:38Well, that depends on who your we is
00:10:41What you mean?
00:10:43Well, you see these tickets?
00:10:44Yeah
00:10:44Well, Mary was thinking she and I could go
00:10:47No
00:10:47Yeah
00:10:48Crazy, huh?
00:10:51Oh, I see
00:10:52Hey, Charlie, look
00:10:53No, no, no
00:10:55I understand the situation
00:10:56What situation?
00:10:57There's no situation here
00:10:58Hey, man
00:10:59A little woman's on the warpath
00:11:01And you got a total lag
00:11:03That's not what's happening
00:11:05Oh, I can sympathize
00:11:07Give me a call when the smoke clears
00:11:09There is no smoke
00:11:15Well, I put the food away
00:11:17I'm ready to go
00:11:17Oh, did Charlie leave?
00:11:19Yeah
00:11:19Is everything all right?
00:11:21Oh, yeah, it's great
00:11:22Good, then let's go
00:11:23Oh, Lester, this is gonna be so much fun
00:11:27Yeah
00:11:28Excuse me
00:11:42Excuse me
00:11:42Excuse me
00:11:43Excuse me
00:11:45Excuse me
00:11:46Hi, y'all
00:11:53What's the score?
00:11:55The game hasn't started yet, Mary
00:11:56Oh, good
00:11:57We got time to be neighborly, then
00:11:59My name is Mary
00:12:01And this is my husband, Lester
00:12:02People don't come to football games
00:12:05And make friends
00:12:06We might as well be neighborly
00:12:08We're gonna be here for nine innings
00:12:09Great, great
00:12:14We got one of those
00:12:15Oh, I get my sports mixed up
00:12:18This is the one with the quarters, right?
00:12:21That's right
00:12:21Honey
00:12:24Why do they have cocktail waitresses on the field?
00:12:29Mary, that's the red-skinned cheerleaders
00:12:30Well, child, if they don't put some more clothes on
00:12:33They're gonna be the blue-skinned cheerleaders
00:12:34Mary, forget about the girls
00:12:37And concentrate on the game
00:12:38It hasn't started yet
00:12:40It's about to
00:12:41They're having a coin toss
00:12:42A coin toss?
00:12:44Oh, is that how they decide
00:12:45Who gets to do the beer commercials?
00:12:48It's gonna be a long afternoon
00:12:50Go Redskins!
00:12:52Go Redskins!
00:12:54Right
00:12:55Hey, that's cute
00:12:56Where'd you get that?
00:12:58Concession stand
00:12:59How much was it?
00:13:00Uh, five bucks
00:13:01Five bucks for a finger?
00:13:05Shoot, I use my own
00:13:06Okay, Mary, pay attention now
00:13:10They're about to kick off
00:13:11This is it
00:13:11Oh!
00:13:14Oh!
00:13:14Oh!
00:13:19That's that
00:13:19Cowboys ball on the 20-yard line
00:13:22First to ten
00:13:23What's first to ten?
00:13:24Well, you see, it's very simple
00:13:25They get four chances to move the ball ten yards
00:13:28If they make the ten yards
00:13:30Then they get four more chances to make ten yards
00:13:32If they don't make ten yards by the third time
00:13:35Then they kick off on the fourth
00:13:36Unless, of course, it's just inches to go
00:13:38Then they might go for it
00:13:40Unless, of course, they're in field goal range
00:13:41Then they might go for the three-pointer
00:13:42You got it?
00:13:44You go to school for this?
00:13:47Way to go!
00:13:48Yeah!
00:13:50Cowboys stop for no game
00:13:52Second and ten
00:13:53All right
00:13:54Peanuts!
00:13:54Hey, get those peanuts!
00:13:57Oh, how do you get me a dollar?
00:13:58I want to get some peanuts
00:13:58Peanuts!
00:14:00Peanuts!
00:14:03Peanuts!
00:14:06Did you see that?
00:14:09Don't you have any manners?
00:14:11Do you throw your food around at home, Jude?
00:14:16Hey, lady, down in front, huh?
00:14:18Come on!
00:14:19Mary, that's the way they do it
00:14:21He throws you the peanuts
00:14:22And you pass the money back
00:14:23Pass the money to a perfect stranger?
00:14:25Yeah
00:14:25No way!
00:14:27I'll take you to it myself
00:14:28Excuse me
00:14:28Excuse me
00:14:29Hey, buddy
00:14:34This has got to be your wife, right?
00:14:36You wouldn't bring a date like that to the game
00:14:38Give her a chance
00:14:40She'll get the hang of it
00:14:41Does she have to?
00:14:43Excuse me
00:14:44Excuse me
00:14:45This is really exciting
00:14:57Yeah
00:14:58Third and five on the Dallas 47
00:15:01We've got to stop them
00:15:03Yeah
00:15:03Defense!
00:15:04Defense!
00:15:05Defense!
00:15:06It's a flick!
00:15:06It's a flick!
00:15:07They got him!
00:15:08White sack by Drzansky
00:15:10Back on the 26th
00:15:11Dallas ball
00:15:12Fourth and 26th
00:15:13All right
00:15:14Aw
00:15:15Did you see that?
00:15:16What?
00:15:18All he had to do was knock him down
00:15:19He didn't have to knock his hat off, too
00:15:21That was mean
00:15:23Damn right he's mean
00:15:25He's the meanest
00:15:26Yeah
00:15:26Well, it's not fair
00:15:32Why doesn't he pick on somebody his own size?
00:15:34Because there isn't anybody his size
00:15:36They don't call him 747 for nothing
00:15:39Whose side are you on?
00:15:42Oh, she's a Redskins fan
00:15:43Aren't you, Mary?
00:15:44They keep playing like that
00:15:45And I might change my mind
00:15:46Mary, we don't want to die
00:15:50After the Redskins game
00:15:51All right
00:15:56Ball on the Dallas 37
00:16:00Third and 8
00:16:01Hey, buddy
00:16:03Your wife's been gone a long time
00:16:06Did she leave?
00:16:08Oh, she went to get something to eat
00:16:09She's coming back
00:16:10Oh
00:16:11Excuse me
00:16:11Excuse me
00:16:13Excuse me
00:16:15Excuse me
00:16:17Excuse me
00:16:19Lester?
00:16:27Lester?
00:16:29Did you move?
00:16:31No
00:16:31You're in the wrong row
00:16:34Oh
00:16:35Excuse me
00:16:38Excuse me
00:16:42Excuse me
00:16:45What took you so long?
00:17:11Oh, I couldn't decide between the hamburgers and the hot dogs
00:17:13You know, you can't get these foot-long hot dogs at the market
00:17:16Did I miss anything?
00:17:18Middle of the fourth quarter
00:17:19Cowboys just tied it up
00:17:21Oh, great
00:17:21Go, Cowboys!
00:17:28Put me in out to Cowboys, huh?
00:17:31Hey, here comes a wave
00:17:32What's a wave?
00:17:34Just do what I do
00:17:35This is great
00:17:44I didn't know they had aerobics, too
00:17:46One and three on the Dallas 45
00:17:49Defense!
00:17:50Defense!
00:17:51Defense!
00:17:52Defense!
00:17:52I got kicked!
00:17:54Oh
00:17:54Oh, they almost blocked it
00:17:56Uh-oh
00:17:57What happened?
00:17:58Penalty
00:17:59Gotta be roughing the kicker
00:18:00I bet it was that same big ape
00:18:02That's been beating up everybody
00:18:03What are you talking about, lady?
00:18:05Well, look at the kicker
00:18:06He's flat on his back
00:18:07Ah, he's a fake
00:18:08Is the stretcher a fake?
00:18:11He had it coming to him
00:18:12He's been bad-mouthing 747 all season
00:18:15Huh
00:18:16If he crash-landed on me
00:18:18I'd bad-mouth him
00:18:18But you leave him alone
00:18:21And let him do his job
00:18:23Is his job killing people?
00:18:27The man's an animal
00:18:27He belongs in a cage
00:18:29Are you calling my baby boy
00:18:34An animal?
00:18:35That's your son?
00:18:37You gave birth to 747?
00:18:40Damn right!
00:18:41What a woman!
00:18:47Well, 747, I know 747
00:18:49It's a disgrace
00:18:50He shouldn't be so rough
00:18:53I raised him rough
00:18:54So what?
00:18:55So why'd you feed him raw meat?
00:18:57How would you like a knuckle sandwich
00:19:00To go with that hot dog?
00:19:02Come on, Mary
00:19:02Let's go
00:19:03Let's go
00:19:03Beat the trash
00:19:05You and your son
00:19:07Both belong in a kennel
00:19:08I love you
00:19:09That's to talk to me
00:19:12I hate it when you grind your teeth like that
00:19:16Okay, keep it up
00:19:19You're gonna chew up your chin
00:19:20Hello
00:19:21How was the game?
00:19:23How was the game?
00:19:24It was only the most exciting game of the season
00:19:26The Redskins won in sudden death
00:19:28Well, that's wonderful, isn't it?
00:19:31It would have been wonderful if we'd been there to see it
00:19:33But I had to hear it on the car radio
00:19:35And why?
00:19:36Because we had to leave before the game was over
00:19:38Otherwise, my wife was gonna start World War III
00:19:41With the mother of one of the greatest linebackers in the game today
00:19:44You mean 747?
00:19:47Master
00:19:48Look, if you don't mind, Mary
00:19:50I am going upstairs
00:19:51Bang on the wall till I get tired
00:19:53And didn't take a nap
00:19:54Being on the wall till I get tired
00:20:03And didn't take a nap
00:20:04And how was your day?
00:20:08It was a disaster
00:20:09Did you really try to start a fight?
00:20:12I was just trying to have a pleasant afternoon with my husband
00:20:15And everybody got so uptight
00:20:17Even the hot dogs were barking at me
00:20:19Mary, you sure got home quick
00:20:24Wasn't the game great?
00:20:26I just got through watching it with my friend Beaumont
00:20:29He's such a big football fan
00:20:31But Sandra, that advice you gave Mary wasn't so hot
00:20:35She didn't have a good time at the game
00:20:38She's not supposed to have a good time
00:20:41She's just supposed to be with her man while he has a good time
00:20:44I was with my man
00:20:47My man wasn't too happy about it
00:20:50But you do, Mary
00:20:51What did I do?
00:20:53What didn't I do?
00:20:54Everything I said was wrong
00:20:56Oh, I know I should have warned you
00:20:58When you go to the game with a man
00:21:01And Lord knows there's no other reason to go
00:21:03You gotta remember now
00:21:05Don't talk too much
00:21:07And most of all, don't ask a lot of dumb questions, Mary
00:21:09How am I supposed to learn if I don't ask questions?
00:21:12There's nothing to learn at a football game
00:21:14They're all the same
00:21:15All you gotta do is drink beer
00:21:17Scream a lot when he does
00:21:18And learn how to say
00:21:19All right
00:21:20And defense, defense
00:21:22You know, Mary?
00:21:26Well, it's too late now
00:21:27Oh, Mary, there'll be other games
00:21:29It's just a matter of getting the hang of it
00:21:31Well, I gotta get to the store
00:21:33And get some refreshments for Beaumont
00:21:35It's time for our post-game activity
00:21:38Hi
00:21:43Hi
00:21:45How was your day?
00:21:48Fine
00:21:48Mmm, dinner smells good
00:21:52It'll smell even better when I cook it
00:21:55Oh, uh
00:21:59I was thinking after dinner
00:22:00Maybe we could go to a movie
00:22:01It's Monday night
00:22:03You watch football on Monday night
00:22:05I can miss a game
00:22:07You miss Monday night football?
00:22:09It's no big thing
00:22:10I can always watch Thursday night football
00:22:12And I thought you were trying to make up
00:22:15Well, I am
00:22:17I'm sorry I came down on you so hard yesterday
00:22:19I mean, you weren't nice enough to get the tickets
00:22:21And I shouldn't have blamed you for not knowing anything about football
00:22:24Well, thank you for the invitation
00:22:26But you stay and watch the game
00:22:28I have other plans for tonight
00:22:30What other plans?
00:22:31Rose and I are going to the movies
00:22:34Oh, so you're not gonna be here tonight
00:22:36I mean, oh, so you're not gonna be here tonight
00:22:39You know, honey, I was thinking
00:22:45Just because we're married
00:22:46Does not mean we have to be joined at the hip
00:22:48I realize that you need your space
00:22:51And I need mine
00:22:52I'll buy that
00:22:53So, if you and Charlie want to watch the football game
00:22:56I will not stand in your way
00:22:58Thanks, babe
00:22:59I'll go call Charlie
00:23:00I've already done that
00:23:02He's on the way over
00:23:04Well, thanks for being so understanding
00:23:07You're welcome
00:23:08I'll be waiting up for you after the fourth quarter
00:23:11Okay
00:23:11That is, unless they go into overtime
00:23:15Oh, yeah
00:23:16I'll be waiting to go in and wait for you to see me
00:23:17That'll be fine
00:23:18Thank you
00:23:19Thank you
00:23:19Thank you
00:23:20Thank you
00:23:21Thank you
00:23:22Thank you
00:23:23Thank you
00:23:24Thank you
00:23:25Thank you
00:23:31There's no place like home
00:23:54With your family around you
00:23:57You're never alone
00:23:59When you know that you love
00:24:01You don't need to roam
00:24:02Cause there's no place like home
00:24:05Times are changing every day
00:24:10We won't get by with those same old ways
00:24:13Pulling together, we'll make it right
00:24:17With help from our friends
00:24:19I know we can't lie
00:24:21Cause there's no place like home
00:24:24With your family around you
00:24:27You're never alone
00:24:28When you know that you love
00:24:30You don't need to roam
00:24:32Cause there ain't no place like
00:24:34Better believe it
00:24:36There ain't no place like
00:24:38Better believe it
00:24:40There ain't no place like
00:24:42There's no place like home
00:24:45I mean no place, child
00:24:47Girl, did you find that recipe yet?
00:24:53I can't wait to make that cake
00:24:55I know my church troops gonna love it
00:24:57I have looked everywhere
00:24:58I must have thrown it out accidentally
00:25:01Oh, Mary
00:25:02That banana molasses cake
00:25:05Oh, that would've knocked those ladies' socks off
00:25:07I know
00:25:09Wait a minute
00:25:11There's one other place
00:25:12Here it is
00:25:16You wrote it on an apron?
00:25:18I wore this tonight
00:25:19I made it
00:25:20Now let's see
00:25:22I'd say maybe
00:25:24Four eggs
00:25:26I'd say five
00:25:27Molasses
00:25:31Cup of flour
00:25:34Hi, Mom
00:25:36Oh, hi, Tiff
00:25:37How you doing?
00:25:40Don't I get a hello?
00:25:41Oh, hi, Mom
00:25:42Hello, Missy Tinkins
00:25:43I just came up here
00:25:44To get my history book
00:25:45At Brenda Bar
00:25:46That's fine, Calvin
00:25:51And then I'll be going
00:25:52That's fine too, Calvin
00:25:55Mom
00:25:56Do you want to go to the Fulton game next Friday?
00:26:00Well, no
00:26:00It's not a big game
00:26:01Oh
00:26:02Well, what about the next big game?
00:26:04Which one?
00:26:05Any one
00:26:06It depends on which one
00:26:07Well
00:26:08How about a piece of pie?
00:26:11What kind of pie?
00:26:13Any kind
00:26:14Mom, can Calvin have a piece of pie?
00:26:16Well, we ain't got no pie
00:26:17But he can chew on his apron
00:26:18Oh, that's all right, Missy Tinkins
00:26:22I don't want to spoil my appetite
00:26:23Calvin
00:26:26Oh, that's all right, Missy Tinkins
00:26:28I'll eat it, Missy Tinkins
00:26:29Your history book
00:26:32Oh, yeah, right
00:26:34Thank you, Missy Tinkins
00:26:39Bye, everyone
00:26:40Give Pearl my love, Calvin
00:26:42Yes, ma'am
00:26:42He's just being shy
00:26:45He's not shy with Janine
00:26:46So that's not anything
00:26:47He'll come around, you'll see
00:26:49What's the matter?
00:26:50Nothing, Mama
00:26:51Well, Tiff, let's get on back downstairs
00:26:53You don't mind if I take this, do you?
00:26:56No
00:26:56But just don't lose it
00:26:58Oh, I won't
00:26:58Or wash it
00:27:00Oh, I won't
00:27:01Are you sure nothing's wrong?
00:27:11Nothing
00:27:11Is that a nothing-nothing
00:27:14Or a something-nothing?
00:27:16Well, it's something to me
00:27:18But probably nothing to you
00:27:19Brenda, now you know
00:27:22What's important to you
00:27:23Is important to me?
00:27:24It's Calvin
00:27:25Oh
00:27:26Well, then it's important
00:27:31What about Calvin?
00:27:33Do you think he's cute?
00:27:34This is the same Calvin
00:27:39Who glues flies together?
00:27:42Mom, that was six years ago
00:27:44Well, um
00:27:45He's cute-ish
00:27:48Well, do you think
00:27:50He's too cute for me?
00:27:51No, I can put your man
00:27:52At ease there
00:27:53So you think we're pretty much
00:27:56Right for each other?
00:27:57Right for each other?
00:27:59What happened to Q?
00:28:01I thought Calvin and I
00:28:02Were right for each other
00:28:03But he's acting like
00:28:04He wants to go with
00:28:05Janine Lockwood
00:28:06Janine Lockwood?
00:28:08Is that the, um
00:28:10That's her
00:28:12I see
00:28:14She's a year older than he is
00:28:17It makes me so mad
00:28:18I'm gonna never speak to him again
00:28:20That's the perfect solution
00:28:22I guess so
00:28:25Okay
00:28:26Why don't you tell me
00:28:29What you think?
00:28:30I don't know
00:28:31It's just why
00:28:32Why is it boys always go after girls like Janine?
00:28:35Boys are stupid
00:28:36We just have to live with that
00:28:39Then I wanna be like Janine
00:28:41Well, that's simple
00:28:42We'll just take everything out of your head
00:28:44And put it in your chest
00:28:45Honey, if you don't like who you are
00:28:54How do you expect Calvin to?
00:28:56He wants an older woman
00:28:57Well, you'll be older
00:28:59Sooner than you think
00:29:00Mom
00:29:02Honey, look
00:29:04Just be yourself
00:29:05You're a wonderful girl
00:29:07Now when the right time comes
00:29:09The right boy will appreciate it
00:29:11Now doesn't that make sense?
00:29:17Yeah, I get the same advice
00:29:19Be myself
00:29:20It's like talking to my guidance counselor
00:29:22All you get is words to live by
00:29:25Just once I like to get usable information from your dog
00:29:29Yeah, like
00:29:30You wanna kill your cousin?
00:29:32This is the best hammer to use
00:29:33My mom says I gotta give it time
00:29:37But time is the only thing I don't have
00:29:40November 14th is my deadline
00:29:41But what happens then?
00:29:43Girl, do you live on the planet?
00:29:46It's the homecoming dance
00:29:48Well, you have two months, don't you?
00:29:50Be serious
00:29:51If I wanna make sure Calvin asks me to the dance
00:29:54We have to be going together by the latest October 20th
00:29:58And before you can go together
00:30:01We have to have a minimum of four dates
00:30:03Where everybody else can see you
00:30:05It's us until September
00:30:08Well, can't you just go with someone else?
00:30:12Tiffany Holloway
00:30:13Calvin's the man for me
00:30:15Oh
00:30:16Well, what if he wants to go study with Janine Lockwood?
00:30:23Let's just not even talk about it
00:30:24He's always mooning around after her
00:30:28That's because she walks like she's double-jointing
00:30:31Hey, here comes Miss Clark
00:30:34We can ask her what to do
00:30:36She knows about all that stuff
00:30:37Look at the way she walks
00:30:40Hello, girls
00:30:43Holding down the stoop
00:30:44Yes, ma'am
00:30:45You look gorgeous
00:30:47Oh, why, thank you, Tiffany
00:30:49I just came from my makeover
00:30:50A private consultation with Mr. Maurice himself
00:30:53He's just one of the nation's top cosmetologists
00:30:57He created Madonna's beauty mall
00:31:00He let me have a sample of this new perfume
00:31:05Still being tested in the laboratory
00:31:06Several male hamsters had to be physically restrained
00:31:10Um, Miss Clark
00:31:16Don't call me Sandra
00:31:17Sandra
00:31:18I was wondering if you could help me out on some advice about
00:31:21What to do about, um
00:31:23Um, man problems
00:31:26You having problems with the boys already?
00:31:30Well, one boy
00:31:31One's fine
00:31:32You want to start slow
00:31:33So, what is it you're trying to do with this boy?
00:31:37Love him or lose him?
00:31:39Ooh, the advice differs considerably
00:31:41The first of the two, I guess
00:31:45You guess?
00:31:46Char, you sound a little fuzzy on the subject
00:31:49Hasn't your mother told you all about this?
00:31:53Well, yes, ma'am
00:31:54But she's married
00:31:55So she doesn't have much to do with men anymore
00:31:57So, Brenda wanted to talk to you
00:32:04Hmm, get some advice from a woman still on the active list
00:32:08Yes
00:32:08So, you're trying to pique this boy's interest, huh?
00:32:13Well, let's see what we have to work with
00:32:14Stand up
00:32:15Turn around
00:32:16Ooh, good raw material
00:32:19We'll have to refine it
00:32:24But I didn't make the call
00:32:34I'd remember talking an hour to Hawaii
00:32:38Do I sound like I have relatives in Hawaii?
00:32:48Do I sound like I'm gonna pay for this call?
00:32:53Well, you do that
00:32:54You call those people and ask them if they know me
00:32:57Cause if they do
00:32:58I know who will be dropping in on this Christmas
00:33:00Are you coming or going?
00:33:11Mom, are you ready?
00:33:12Maybe you better tell me for what?
00:33:13There's a new me, Mom
00:33:15Are you ready for the new me?
00:33:18Yes, Brenda
00:33:18What in the world did you do to yourself?
00:33:24It's my new look
00:33:25Uh-uh, that's your old look
00:33:29And you better get it off so fast that I forget you had it on
00:33:32And what did you put that perfume on with?
00:33:35A spray gun?
00:33:37Mom, it's the style
00:33:38A lot of girls in school look this way
00:33:41Well, you're not going to look that way
00:33:43Did you do all this by yourself?
00:33:45Well, Sandra got...
00:33:47Miss Clark got me started
00:33:48Oh, she did, huh?
00:33:51And where did you get those clothes?
00:33:53They're my friend Rhonda's
00:33:55Mine are at Tiffany's
00:33:56Well, just march right back down to Tiffany's and get them
00:33:59And while you're down there, sit down and take a good long look at yourself in the mirror
00:34:03I know why you don't like it
00:34:06Because Calvin is gonna like it
00:34:08And that makes you mad because you don't like Calvin and you'd do anything to keep us from being together
00:34:13Now, Brenda, listen to...
00:34:13Well, we are gonna be together
00:34:15And this is how I'm gonna look from now on
00:34:17Child, come back here
00:34:19I'm not a child
00:34:20I'm almost a woman
00:34:22Well, woman, come back here
00:34:25Yes
00:34:28Don't walk away when I'm talking to you, okay?
00:34:31Now, go downstairs and do what I told you
00:34:33And I don't want to hear another word
00:34:35Is that clear?
00:34:36Yes, ma'am
00:34:37Mary, what...
00:34:48Yes
00:34:48That was Brenda
00:34:50With the hair and the eyes and the lips
00:34:54And all that perfume
00:34:56Oh, girl, I thought she was the Avon lady
00:35:00Avon ladies just sell the stuff they don't swim in it
00:35:05Well, what happened?
00:35:08Oh, Brenda's afraid Calvin's looking at another girl
00:35:11I told her to just be herself
00:35:13And when the right time comes, things would work out
00:35:16Well, that's what I would have said
00:35:17Really?
00:35:17Yeah
00:35:18Well, you would have been wrong
00:35:19Oh
00:35:19Because Brenda went straight up to see Maxine Factor
00:35:23Who?
00:35:25Oh, Sandra
00:35:26Well, what are you gonna do?
00:35:28Oh, I don't know
00:35:30Right now, Brenda isn't listening to me
00:35:32She thinks I hate Calvin
00:35:33Well, you do, don't you?
00:35:34Of course not
00:35:36He just plucks my nerves
00:35:38Sometimes
00:35:39Well, what are you gonna do?
00:35:40Oh, Brenda's smart
00:35:45She'll come to her senses
00:35:47Then she'll look in the mirror
00:35:49Scream
00:35:50And wash her face
00:35:50Yeah, I must say
00:35:54Well, you're taking this pretty well
00:35:55Thank you
00:35:56Now, if you'll excuse me
00:35:58I'm gonna have a talk with Sandra
00:36:00Wait a minute
00:36:01Wait, wait, wait, wait
00:36:02Now, now, patience
00:36:03Patience is a virtue
00:36:05We're talking about Sandra
00:36:07Virtue ain't got nothing to do with it
00:36:08Well, she meant well
00:36:11How?
00:36:12How did she mean well?
00:36:13Uh, she was just trying to help
00:36:14The only way she knew how
00:36:16Don't worry
00:36:17It's gonna be painless
00:36:18I'm gonna puncture her waterbed
00:36:20So she'll drown in her sleep
00:36:21Now, Mary
00:36:22You're at no condition
00:36:25To talk with Sandra now
00:36:26You need to just cool off
00:36:27Okay?
00:36:30We'll do the laundry
00:36:31Okay?
00:36:33All right
00:36:34We'll do the laundry
00:36:35Okay
00:36:35We'll do the laundry
00:36:41Let's go
00:36:43There's no way
00:36:44I'm gonna let you
00:36:45Act back, woman Mary
00:36:46No way
00:36:46Why are you worried about Sandra?
00:36:49She's got blue cross
00:36:50You just do your laundry
00:36:53Give her some time
00:36:54And then you can talk to Sandra
00:36:56In a rational way
00:36:57I am perfectly rational
00:36:59See?
00:37:02How am I doing?
00:37:03Great
00:37:04Now, keep going
00:37:05Oh, well, look who's here
00:37:10Mary
00:37:12Seems you always have something on spin
00:37:14Well, Sandra
00:37:17Look at you
00:37:19Do you like it?
00:37:20Mmm, I surely do
00:37:21What do you think, Mary?
00:37:23It's definitely you
00:37:25I'm glad you like it
00:37:28Sandra
00:37:33I understand you had a little chat with my daughter today
00:37:37Yes
00:37:38Yes
00:37:38She did ask me for some advice
00:37:40And I was happy to give her the benefit of my expertise
00:37:42Did it ever occur to you that that was my job?
00:37:49Mary
00:37:50The girl had a man problem
00:37:52So, of course, she couldn't come to you
00:37:55You're cool and stay rational
00:38:01I am perfectly rational, Rose
00:38:05Now, I understand that it's quite possible that you meant well
00:38:12Oh, no need to thank me, Mary
00:38:13But in the future, I would appreciate it
00:38:17If you would not meddle in my family affairs
00:38:20Hey, she came to me
00:38:22I merely brought out her natural attributes
00:38:24It was easy
00:38:25Since you didn't inherit yours
00:38:27Now
00:38:28Be cool, Rose
00:38:32Is there anything else you'd like to say
00:38:35While we're having this perfectly rational conversation?
00:38:40Yes
00:38:41Are you trying to keep your daughter in the Stone Age?
00:38:43Why, when I showed her eye shadow
00:38:45She didn't know the difference between magenta and plum
00:38:47But of course you do
00:38:51Because you put them all on at once
00:38:53I will thank you in the future
00:38:57To leave my daughter's makeup problems to me
00:39:00Okay, that's it
00:39:00Let's go
00:39:01Now, look, Mary
00:39:02I was just trying
00:39:03No, you look
00:39:03If I want my daughter to look like you
00:39:06I will send her to clown school
00:39:07And if I want her to be like you
00:39:11I will leave her there
00:39:12I understand what your problem is, Mary
00:39:17You can't help but feel inadequate
00:39:20So you're lashing out
00:39:21But you can't get under my skin
00:39:24I guess not
00:39:27With all that makeup, I'd need a chisel
00:39:29Calvin, what are you doing?
00:39:42Grandma, this is for school
00:39:44The teacher wants us to close our eyes and feel the world
00:39:47You got 15 minutes to feel the world
00:39:50Then if you're not in here
00:39:52Then if you're not in here, you're going to feel my hand against your butt
00:39:54Oh, a fire engine
00:39:59I bet it's red
00:40:01Calvin
00:40:04Oh, Mrs. Jenkins, isn't it?
00:40:09Yes, and I brought the firing squad with me
00:40:11You want a last cigarette?
00:40:13What?
00:40:14Last cigarette?
00:40:15I don't smoke
00:40:16Oh, the plane fall
00:40:19How's it going, Mrs. Jenkins?
00:40:23Calvin, have you seen Brenda?
00:40:25I haven't seen anybody
00:40:26Where is that child?
00:40:29I hope she gets home before Lester
00:40:30I can't believe she went out on the street looking like that
00:40:33Looking like what?
00:40:34Never mind
00:40:35Here comes Lester
00:40:36Hi, Pearl
00:40:37Hi, Lester
00:40:38Hey, everybody
00:40:39Hi, Lester
00:40:40How you doing, Mr. Jenkins?
00:40:42Hi, Calvin
00:40:43I'm going up and take a shower
00:40:45What's for dinner?
00:40:47Trouble
00:40:47Oh, shoot, I had that for lunch
00:40:49Brenda
00:40:51Brenda, where have you been?
00:40:53I thought I told you to get out of those clothes
00:40:55Nobody was home when I had to go find Tiffany
00:40:57Brenda, is that you?
00:40:58Yes, Daddy
00:40:59What did you do to yourself?
00:41:00Have you been out on the street looking like that?
00:41:02Man, why'd you let her go out like that?
00:41:04I didn't
00:41:05Well, the boy at the drugstore said she looked sexy
00:41:07Oh, I've got to see this
00:41:08No, you don't
00:41:10You're not getting any ideas
00:41:12Daddy, please let him see
00:41:13Go upstairs now
00:41:15Oh, yes, sir
00:41:16Brenda
00:41:19But, Daddy
00:41:20Now, just do it
00:41:21Wow
00:41:30Really blew up, didn't it?
00:41:34Well, it's just when I saw her standing there
00:41:37Looking like
00:41:37Like
00:41:38That
00:41:39Yeah, that
00:41:40It's just a phase
00:41:44Yeah, well, how long does it last?
00:41:45Until the next phase
00:41:46Well, you better go on up and talk to her
00:41:49She's mad at me
00:41:50Oh, no
00:41:51She's mad at me, too
00:41:52She thinks I don't like Calvin
00:41:55Well, you don't, do you?
00:41:56Of course I do
00:42:00In my way
00:42:03I just can't picture him as our son-in-law
00:42:06What?
00:42:07Well, that's what this is really about
00:42:08She wants to go steady with Calvin
00:42:11At her age?
00:42:13You're right
00:42:14I better go talk to her
00:42:15Uh, Mary
00:42:21What did your father do when you did something he didn't like?
00:42:24Nothing
00:42:24Just folded his arms and said
00:42:26Go to your room
00:42:27I gotta do a lot more than that
00:42:30You'll do fine, honey
00:42:32Brenda
00:43:01Shut up
00:43:03I'm sorry
00:43:09I'm sorry
00:43:10Don't cry
00:43:11Look, come on over here
00:43:11Let me dry those tears
00:43:13Daddy
00:43:19I'm sorry
00:43:20Just when I left this morning
00:43:22You were 14
00:43:23And now you look 24
00:43:25I have to go up sometime
00:43:27Yeah, it was so fast
00:43:29Couldn't you kind of ease into it?
00:43:31Say maybe a year at a time?
00:43:33Not if I want Calvin
00:43:35Daddy, I'm at war with Janine Lockwood
00:43:38Who?
00:43:39It's a girl at school
00:43:41She's a lot older
00:43:4217
00:43:43She has that sophisticated look
00:43:47You know, experienced
00:43:48Oh, and she always has the boys hanging around her
00:43:53And Calvin's one of them
00:43:54So now you think you look experienced?
00:43:58Don't you?
00:44:02Yeah, if I was 16, I'd ask you out
00:44:04You would?
00:44:05You know, we were always after the older, experienced girls
00:44:08But back then we called them fast
00:44:10Do I look fast?
00:44:12You sure do
00:44:13Great
00:44:14Thanks, Daddy
00:44:16No, no, no
00:44:16Wait, wait, wait
00:44:18The fast girls were the ones who did
00:44:20I mean
00:44:21They were the ones who weren't
00:44:24Oh, virgins
00:44:25That's right
00:44:27Uh, by the way
00:44:32Uh
00:44:33Daddy
00:44:34I'm only 14, really
00:44:36I know, but the way you look says you're
00:44:39It does
00:44:40Well, all I wanted to do was peak Calvin's interest
00:44:43Well, that's one way to do it
00:44:45That sort of thing always got our attention
00:44:48Is that what you liked about Mama?
00:44:51No, your mother was no Janine Lockwood
00:44:54She wasn't fast?
00:44:55No
00:44:56She was slow?
00:44:58No
00:44:58What was she then?
00:45:03The point is
00:45:04When I met your mother
00:45:05I was finished chasing Janine Lockwood
00:45:07I was ready to settle down
00:45:08So I looked for someone who was sweet and smart and pretty
00:45:12Someone I wanted to marry
00:45:14That was your mother
00:45:16And you're just like her
00:45:18I hope Calvin doesn't think so
00:45:20He's afraid of Mama
00:45:22She hates him
00:45:24No, your mother likes Calvin
00:45:26In her way
00:45:28She just doesn't want you going steady with any one boy
00:45:31Do you like Calvin?
00:45:33Yeah, but I have to agree with your mother
00:45:36We both love you very much
00:45:38And we don't want you going steady and getting married
00:45:40And having kids before you find out
00:45:42What life is all about
00:45:43And you know what else I think?
00:45:47What?
00:45:48I think as long as you keep wearing that makeup
00:45:50Calvin may as well keep wearing his blindfold
00:45:52Because he's never going to be able to see the real Brenda anyway
00:45:56Does that mean I can't wear any more makeup?
00:45:59No, of course not
00:46:00Well, how much?
00:46:01I don't know
00:46:03Enough, but not too much
00:46:05You mean not fast and not slow?
00:46:08Somewhere in there
00:46:09Like Mama
00:46:10I'll ask her
00:46:11So how'd I do?
00:46:31You did fine
00:46:32Just one thing
00:46:35About those Janine Lockwoods
00:46:38Just how much running did you do?
00:46:42Come on, baby
00:46:43That was a long time ago
00:46:45Oh, yeah?
00:46:46How come you've never mentioned it before?
00:46:49Are you serious?
00:46:50You're really serious?
00:46:54Go to your room
00:46:55Are you coming with me?
00:46:59You better believe it
00:47:00You better believe it
00:47:02You better believe it
00:47:03You better believe it
00:47:03You better believe it
00:47:04You better believe it
00:47:04You better believe it
00:47:05You better believe it
00:47:06You better believe it
00:47:06You better believe it
00:47:07You better believe it
00:47:07You better believe it
00:47:08You better believe it
00:47:08You better believe it
00:47:09You better believe it
00:47:09You better believe it
00:47:10You better believe it
00:47:10You better believe it
00:47:11You better believe it
00:47:11You better believe it
00:47:12You better believe it
00:47:13You better believe it
00:47:13You better believe it
00:47:14You better believe it
00:47:14You better believe it
00:47:15You better believe it
00:47:16You better believe it
00:47:17You better believe it
00:47:18You better believe it
00:47:19You better believe it
00:47:20You better believe it
00:47:21You better believe it
00:47:22You better believe it
00:47:23You better believe it
00:47:24You better believe it
00:47:25You better believe it
00:47:26You better believe it
00:47:27You better believe it
00:48:00Times are changing every day.
00:48:04We won't get by with those same old ways.
00:48:08Pulling together, we'll make it right.
00:48:11With help from our friends and no weekend time.
00:48:15There's no place like home.
00:48:18With your family around you, you're never alone.
00:48:22When you know that you love, you don't need to roam.
00:48:25Cause there ain't no place like...
00:48:28Better believe it.
00:48:30There ain't no place like...
00:48:32Better believe it.
00:48:33There ain't no place like...
00:48:35There's no place like home.
00:48:39I mean, no place, child.
00:48:44So how's that, Mrs. Jenkins?
00:48:46Oh, that's fine.
00:48:47Thank you, Calvin.
00:48:48You too, Eddie.
00:48:49I really appreciate this.
00:48:50No sweat.
00:48:51Moving pianos, watering plants, feeding parakeets.
00:48:54What's a mailman for?
00:48:58Mr. Jenkins is gonna like this.
00:49:00Oh, Calvin.
00:49:01If you see him before I do, don't mention it, okay?
00:49:04Oh, you mean it's a surprise?
00:49:06What she means is she hasn't told him she's spent the money yet.
00:49:09Lester won't care.
00:49:13Won't care?
00:49:13A man who just got a gas bill, telephone bill, insurance bill, electric bill, rent.
00:49:23He won't care.
00:49:24Dental bill?
00:49:25Dental bill for you.
00:49:27What's wrong with your teeth?
00:49:28I bit a mailman.
00:49:37Well, I bet hit the old appointed rounds.
00:49:40Oh, wait a minute.
00:49:41Can I give you a cookie or something?
00:49:42Oh, no.
00:49:42Not allowed to accept gratuities.
00:49:44How about money?
00:49:45I think that'll be all right.
00:49:48For you.
00:49:49Oh, thanks, Mrs. Jenkins.
00:49:50And you.
00:49:51Good luck with the piano.
00:49:52Thanks, guys.
00:49:58Come on in, Rose.
00:50:04You too, Pearl.
00:50:08Oh, Mary, you bought a piano.
00:50:11Oh, I love it.
00:50:15Hey, it sounds good, too.
00:50:18Well, you ought to know.
00:50:20In fact, I was wondering if you'd consider giving me lessons.
00:50:22Oh, I'd be glad to.
00:50:23Of course, I've taught mostly children.
00:50:25I used to be good on a piano.
00:50:28You?
00:50:29Mm-hmm.
00:50:30I used to love to sit on the top and tantalize the boys with my ankles.
00:50:36Oh, girl.
00:50:38So, Mary, when did you and Lester decide to get a piano?
00:50:40Well, I got to thinking how Lester really loves music.
00:50:43Uh-oh.
00:50:44She hasn't told it.
00:50:47Lester is a very understanding man.
00:50:50Besides, it only costs $600.
00:50:52$600?
00:50:56Are you out of your mind?
00:50:57Honey, I...
00:51:00Don't give me, honey, I...
00:51:02It was $600, I could buy myself a complete ski outfit.
00:51:05You don't know how to ski.
00:51:06And you don't know how to play the piano.
00:51:09Honey...
00:51:09Don't touch me.
00:51:10I'm mad.
00:51:10I want to stay here.
00:51:13Hi.
00:51:14Hi, Brad.
00:51:17Where did we get the piano?
00:51:18We bought it.
00:51:19How would you like to take lessons?
00:51:21Lessons?
00:51:22Do I have to?
00:51:23Mom, it's not even electric.
00:51:27Well, Brenda, I thought you would be...
00:51:29But, Mom, can we please talk about this later?
00:51:32Go ahead.
00:51:32I don't think she's dying to take piano lessons.
00:51:39If you want the real truth, I thought I'd take piano lessons.
00:51:43You take piano lessons?
00:51:46Well, what's wrong with that?
00:51:48What's wrong with that?
00:51:49Remember those ceramic classes you took last year?
00:51:525,000 ice trays and none of our friends smoke.
00:51:57Why don't you stick to singing?
00:51:58You already had singing lessons and you're good at it.
00:52:01Well, maybe you're right.
00:52:09Hello, Mary.
00:52:11Rose tells me you bought a piano.
00:52:12Mind if I show her?
00:52:14Well, come on, Sandra.
00:52:17Fine, go ahead.
00:52:18Hi, Lester.
00:52:19Hey, Sandra, Rose.
00:52:20Lester, look at this old piano.
00:52:22Isn't it nice?
00:52:23Uh-huh.
00:52:26How'd Lester like it?
00:52:28Ooh, that much, huh?
00:52:29Ooh, I'd love to learn to play the piano.
00:52:33To sit down at the keys
00:52:34and have all the men gather around.
00:52:39Sandra wants to take piano lessons, too.
00:52:41And Rose was kind enough to offer.
00:52:42For a small fee.
00:52:44On my piano?
00:52:46Well, with your approval,
00:52:47I thought I could give lessons to both of you.
00:52:49For a small fee.
00:52:52Unless you're afraid to take lessons with me, Mary.
00:52:55Well, I'm just looking ahead.
00:52:56I wouldn't want you to get upset
00:52:57if I progressed faster than you did.
00:53:01You progressed faster than me?
00:53:03Well, I do have the advantage of youth.
00:53:09Look again, your advantage is slipping.
00:53:11Mary's decided not to take lessons.
00:53:17Oh, no, she hasn't.
00:53:1820 bucks says I progressed faster than you.
00:53:21You're on.
00:53:21620 bucks down, it was.
00:53:26I wish Rose would hurry up and come back.
00:53:28I can't wait to get started.
00:53:34I can.
00:53:37Oh, I'm sorry about taking lessons at night, honey.
00:53:39I guess Rose wanted Sandra and I to start together
00:53:42because she thought the competition would be good for us.
00:53:44If it doesn't leave blood on the keys.
00:53:46You're really serious about this stuff, aren't you?
00:53:50If I tell you something, you won't laugh, will you?
00:53:52I'll try not to.
00:53:53Well, see, I've always had this fantasy.
00:53:57We're having dinner at the White House with the president
00:53:59and, say, Lady Di and Wilberchef
00:54:02and all the rest of them cats.
00:54:05Anyway, the party's really dull.
00:54:08So, the first lady stands up and she says,
00:54:10Is there a pianist in the house?
00:54:12And, of course, I don't say anything.
00:54:13But you forced me to stand up.
00:54:17And they all applaud and, well, I stand up
00:54:20and I walk to the piano.
00:54:24And I sit.
00:54:26And then I play to thunderous applause.
00:54:31And, well, the president and Lady Di and Wilberchef,
00:54:34they're all beside themselves.
00:54:36Well, they just stand up and cheer and hug each other
00:54:38and, well, I've saved the world.
00:54:40You know, baby, that makes me mighty proud.
00:54:46Mom, I finished the dishes.
00:54:47Oh, thanks, honey.
00:54:48Do you need me to do any ironing or fold the laundry?
00:54:51Brenda, you don't have to take piano lessons.
00:54:54I love you, Mom.
00:54:57I'll be doing my homework.
00:55:00Oh, that must be Rose.
00:55:01I'm going to the bedroom.
00:55:02Good evening, Mary.
00:55:10Well, where's Sandra?
00:55:11I'm coming.
00:55:18I just didn't know what to wear for a piano lesson.
00:55:21It doesn't matter.
00:55:23It's a girl piano.
00:55:26Cute, Mary.
00:55:27That's cute.
00:55:28Okay, ladies, let's get to it.
00:55:30Did you make your hand tracing?
00:55:31I did.
00:55:33One, two, three, four, five.
00:55:36Good.
00:55:36Now, this will help you know what fingers to use on the keys.
00:55:39Sandra, where's your tracing?
00:55:40I couldn't do it.
00:55:41My nails were wet.
00:55:44Besides, I already know how many fingers I have.
00:55:48How about your toes?
00:55:52Mary.
00:55:52A perfect ten.
00:55:54Good.
00:55:54The operation was a success.
00:55:56Children.
00:55:58Children, children.
00:56:02Now, let's pay attention.
00:56:04Okay?
00:56:05Now, the first thing you have to learn is that this is a piano.
00:56:13Well, the children always thought that was funny.
00:56:18So, we're going to start with the scale.
00:56:22Now, do you know anything about scales?
00:56:24I know they always lie.
00:56:25Mary, please.
00:56:29Now.
00:56:30Excuse me.
00:56:32This is middle C.
00:56:34That's because it's in the middle.
00:56:35Sandra.
00:56:37Sorry.
00:56:39All right.
00:56:40Right thumb, finger number one on middle C.
00:56:44And we go up the scale.
00:56:45C, D, E, crossover F, G, A, B, C.
00:56:52Now, Mary, you sit down and you try it.
00:56:53Okay.
00:56:59Say the notes out loud.
00:57:00C, D, E, E, F.
00:57:04Why doesn't it just start with A?
00:57:07Because it doesn't.
00:57:10Play.
00:57:11Excuse me.
00:57:12C, D, E, F.
00:57:17Ooh, Mary hit a clinker.
00:57:22Let's see if you can do better.
00:57:27C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C.
00:57:32Oh, good, good, Sandra.
00:57:35Oh, it was...
00:57:36Yeah.
00:57:39C, D, E, F.
00:57:42Arch your fingers.
00:57:42Arch your fingers.
00:57:43I'm arching.
00:57:45G, A, B, C.
00:57:50C, B.
00:57:51Sit up straight.
00:57:51Sit up straight.
00:57:52G.
00:57:54May I?
00:57:56Oh, for heaven's sake, start back.
00:57:57C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C.
00:58:07C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C.
00:58:10C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C.
00:58:14I'll see you later, baby.
00:58:16Where you going, honey?
00:58:17Down to the bowling alley where I can concentrate.
00:58:21Wait up, Daddy, I'm going with you.
00:58:24C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C.
00:58:26He's a silly bug
00:58:31Sitting on a rush
00:58:35He feels pretty snug
00:58:39Silly little bug
00:58:42You sure this is how Liberace started?
00:58:52Oh, Sandra, that was wonderful.
00:58:53I'm so proud of you.
00:58:55Do I have a surprise for you.
00:58:57Give me your little hand.
00:58:59Look at that.
00:59:03I got a gold star.
00:59:08Okay, Mary, it's your turn.
00:59:13Okay, now where were we?
00:59:15I know where I was.
00:59:16C, D, E, F
00:59:21I'll get it.
00:59:31Mary.
00:59:32Oh, Pearl, are we disturbing you?
00:59:33Yes.
00:59:36But at least your music is driving all the ants out of my kitchen.
00:59:39I'm sorry.
00:59:45We have to play at night because Sandra works in the daytime.
00:59:49You know, she's making a big federal case out of this.
00:59:51You think it was a World Series or something.
00:59:54You know what I mean?
00:59:55Yeah, you mean she's doing better than you.
00:59:58Well, I hate to admit it, but you're right.
01:00:00Well, it figures.
01:00:01She's had lessons before.
01:00:03What?
01:00:03Mm-hmm.
01:00:04She told me that she had some lessons when she was in high school.
01:00:09You mean she actually bet me 20 bucks when she knew she had lessons before?
01:00:14Bye-bye 20.
01:00:17Oh, no.
01:00:19Mm-mm.
01:00:20Two can play that game.
01:00:21I'm gonna practice night and day.
01:00:23But Mary, Sandra works in the day.
01:00:25Now, that's not fair.
01:00:26Fair my foot.
01:00:28I'm gonna pull the rug on that smug little bug.
01:00:30Thanks, Calvin.
01:00:46Anytime.
01:00:48Uh-oh, Mom's at it again.
01:00:50Yeah.
01:00:51You wanna come in for a root beer?
01:00:54No, I don't think so.
01:00:57She's been practicing that for the past two days.
01:00:59Yeah, you know, I have to admire her.
01:01:01Because if I was that bad at anything, I'd give up.
01:01:04One, two, three, four.
01:01:07One, two, three, four.
01:01:10One, two, three, four.
01:01:12One, two, three, four.
01:01:14One, two, three, four.
01:01:17One, two, three, four.
01:01:19One, two, three, four.
01:01:22Arch your wrists.
01:01:23Hey!
01:01:24Oh, good!
01:01:25Good!
01:01:27Good job!
01:01:30Woo!
01:01:34Big stuff.
01:01:35Woo!
01:01:37Thank you, teacher.
01:01:38Okay.
01:01:39Well, let's move on here.
01:01:41You're doing so good.
01:01:41Why not let Mary take over?
01:01:43She needs your help much more than I do.
01:01:45Oh!
01:01:46I'm coming along just fine.
01:01:49Okay, now play the first notes louder.
01:01:54Okay?
01:01:55One, two, three, four.
01:01:58One, two, three.
01:01:59Mary, don't look at your fingers.
01:02:02This isn't easy, you know.
01:02:04I know, I know.
01:02:05But just try to relax, have fun.
01:02:08I'm having fun.
01:02:09Oh, that's very good.
01:02:19Much better, much better.
01:02:20Give up, Luster.
01:02:23If you don't mind, I'm trying to figure out where to put my fingers.
01:02:26Mary, Mary.
01:02:28You're causing yourself a lot of tension for a silly little bet.
01:02:31Why don't you relax?
01:02:33Pay me now.
01:02:35I know what.
01:02:37Why don't we have a little party?
01:02:39We'll have some friends over, they can listen to us,
01:02:41and then they can decide who's best.
01:02:43Well, I don't think either one of you recited material.
01:02:48Well, if Sandra's not up to it.
01:02:50No, no.
01:02:50If you insist upon making this a childish contest,
01:02:53go right ahead, give your party.
01:02:54But look out, because little old Sandra will be right there.
01:02:57Ooh, you can count me out of that vote.
01:03:01Don't matter.
01:03:01It's going to be a landslide anyway.
01:03:03What are you going to play?
01:03:04Twinkle, twinkle, little star?
01:03:05You're getting pretty good at that.
01:03:08No, as a matter of fact, I think I'll play Jingle Bells.
01:03:13Okay.
01:03:18Or maybe I'll play Minuet in G by Ludwig von Beethoven.
01:03:23Mary, you've been practicing.
01:03:37That's not fair.
01:03:39So, you took lessons before.
01:03:40That's not fair.
01:03:41But you know I work in the daytime.
01:03:43So, I worked in the daytime, too.
01:03:45But that's not right.
01:03:47I don't care if it's not right.
01:03:48Just help yourself to the hors d'oeuvres court.
01:03:56Break a leg, honey.
01:03:59These are for you, Mary.
01:04:01Oh, thank you, Pearl.
01:04:03No, this is for Sandra.
01:04:04I always hedge my bets.
01:04:06I'll just put these down.
01:04:10I want my vase back.
01:04:15Well, anything else I should know?
01:04:16Any little last-minute tips?
01:04:18No, Mary.
01:04:19And if there were, I'd have to tell them to Sandra, too.
01:04:21You know, Rose, you're so fair.
01:04:24It's sickening.
01:04:26You learn out of these little sandwiches, Bear.
01:04:29Good thing I got here early.
01:04:30Would you get those?
01:04:34Sure.
01:04:34Let me have one.
01:04:37You know, we just spent 50 bucks on food to win 20.
01:04:41Arch your fingers.
01:04:42Arch your fingers.
01:04:42Sit up straight.
01:04:44Smile graciously when you win.
01:04:47Don't you think Mom's acting kind of nutty about this?
01:04:51Well, maybe and maybe not.
01:04:52It's the kind of way the world is today.
01:04:54Competition is the name of the game.
01:04:56People compete for education, for love, for jobs.
01:04:58But Mom's competing on who can play the piano the best after three weeks.
01:05:02Brenda, one of the secrets to a long, happy marriage is
01:05:05don't look for a lot of logic and stuff like this.
01:05:08Let's go.
01:05:10Who do you like in this race?
01:05:12Well, Mary's a sure shot on this one.
01:05:14Well, you know Sandra, she always keeps something in reserve.
01:05:17I know, that's right.
01:05:22Evening, Mary.
01:05:24Oh, I don't like your looking Sandra's eyes.
01:05:28I hope you don't mind.
01:05:30I brought along a gentleman friend.
01:05:32Mary Jenkins meet Bernard.
01:05:36The renowned composer, singer, and pianist.
01:05:40Hello, Mary.
01:05:41Hello.
01:05:42I hope you don't mind my bringing him.
01:05:44I met him at the talent agency where I used to work.
01:05:46Oh, Lester meet Bernard.
01:05:47Excuse me, Mary.
01:05:50Hello, Lester.
01:05:50How are you?
01:05:51Hi, how are you?
01:05:53Hi.
01:05:53How are you?
01:05:54Oh, Lester.
01:05:55Hello, Lester.
01:05:56What's she up to?
01:05:58She gotta be up to something.
01:06:00Um, attention everybody.
01:06:01Bernard can only stay a little while,
01:06:03but I think I talked him into playing for us,
01:06:06if you want him to.
01:06:06Oh, yeah!
01:06:08Thank you, thank you.
01:06:10When Sandra asked me over,
01:06:12she said she had a surprise for me,
01:06:14but this isn't what I had in mind.
01:06:20Any requests?
01:06:21Raspberry beret.
01:06:25Oh, Bernard, don't seize us.
01:06:27Play the one you wrote.
01:06:28Everything must change.
01:06:30And then you can play your little tune, Mary.
01:06:34That's what she's up to.
01:06:35Mm-hmm.
01:06:44There are not many things in life
01:07:11We can be sure of
01:07:17Except
01:07:20The rain comes from the clouds
01:07:24And the sunlight's at the sky
01:07:27And hummingbirds do fly
01:07:32Yes, the rain comes from the clouds
01:07:37And the sunlight's at the sky
01:07:39And the music makes me cry
01:07:46Everything must change
01:07:53Everything must change
01:07:56Everything must change
01:08:02Everything must change
01:08:04Your tune's gonna sound awful after that.
01:08:08That's where I'm gonna make sure
01:08:09Sandra goes first
01:08:10Wasn't that something?
01:08:19Oh, thank you, Bernard.
01:08:21That was just marvy
01:08:22Oh, and now I believe
01:08:27That you were gonna play something for us, Mary did
01:08:29Oh, no, no, no, no, as hostess
01:08:31The polite thing would be for you to go first
01:08:34I insist
01:08:35Oh, I'd love to
01:08:36But I sprained my little pinky this morning
01:08:38But you can still play
01:08:40Unless you wanna call this whole thing off
01:08:42Come on, baby, you can do it
01:08:47I can't play after that
01:08:48Oh, come on, try it, Mary
01:08:50You can do it
01:08:51Please
01:08:52Well, I guess I'm not taking piano lessons for nothing
01:08:56Ladies and gentlemen
01:08:59And Sandra
01:09:01I'm going to play Minuet in G by Ludwig van Beethoven
01:09:07Here you go, Mary
01:09:33Here's your $20
01:09:33You deserve it
01:09:35Oh, I can't keep it
01:09:37I didn't earn it
01:09:38No, Mary, the bet is yours
01:09:40No, it's yours
01:09:41Mary
01:09:42It's mine
01:09:42The small fee
01:09:45I'm real proud of you, baby
01:09:48Folks, you just heard what Mary's been learning to do
01:09:52Now I wanna show you what she's really good at
01:09:54And she's got a wonderful song
01:09:55I just love to hear her sing
01:09:56Mr. Agner, would you play Girl Talk, please?
01:09:59You got it
01:10:00Sing something nice
01:10:01We like to chat about the dresses that we wear tonight
01:10:18We chew the fat about our dresses and our neighbors' fights
01:10:22Inconsequential things that men don't really care to know
01:10:26Become essential things that women find so apropos
01:10:31But that's a game, we're all the same
01:10:33It's just a game, we call it
01:10:35Girl Talk
01:10:36Girl Talk
01:10:38Girl
01:10:38You're a meow about the hoops and downs of all you
01:10:42The who, the why, the how, we ditch the dirt
01:10:45It never is
01:10:47The weaker sex, the meeker sex
01:10:49You mortal males behold
