All language subtitles for Whos The Boss s06e24 Beautician Heal Thyse

There's a time for love and a time for
living. Take a chance and face the wind.

An open road and a road that's hidden. A
brand new life around the bend.

There were times I lost a dream or two.

I'm thrilled that the end was you.

There's a path you take and a path not
taken. The choice is up to you, my

friend. Nights are long, but you might
awaken to a brand new life, brand new

life, a brand new life. Oh, how good it
is.

Okay, I just have to dot the I.

Okay, I'm ready.

Here he is, the valedictorian of the
American Beauty College class of...

Not to mention Dean's List in cutting
and curling.

Oh, and they say our educational system
can't compete with the Japanese.

Well,

look who's here, the beautician and the
beast.

I didn't expect to see you here. The
sixth grade is in town.

Why do you think they're here?

Oh, Al, do you have any jobs lined up?

Better still, I've decided to become the
master of my own fate.

I'm following my dreams.

I'm opening up my own salon.

Hey! Hey,

someone's got to keep Brooklyn
beautiful.

Hey, how do you like this guy, huh? A
graduate one day, an entrepreneur the

next, huh? Way to go, Al.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. You know, I love to
watch you work, Al.

Al, how can you afford to open up your
own salon?

Oh, I cashed in my savings. I sold my
bike. I took out a loan.

Wow, your own salon.

Blondes, brunettes, redheads.

Lots of redheads.

You like the old variety there, huh,
Jonathan?

Hey, I'll take anything I can get.

And out of this special day, I would
like to propose a toast to the person

kept me out of trouble.

Oh, Al.

Not you.

To the person who kept me going when
things got tough. Oh, Al.

Not you.

To the person who always believed in me.

Me?

Hey, who else?

You're not just my friend, Tony. You're
the big brother I never had.

You know, without you, my dreams would
have never come true.

I love you, bro.

To mio fratello, Tony.

Oh, wow.

Thanks, man. Hey, I'm really touched.
That was great.

I think I'll go check on the zucchini.

Me too.

I'll help.

So it would have killed you to thank me
too?

Hey, I did your hair.

Tell us all about your new beauty shop.

Oh, see for yourself. Come by tomorrow
and I'll do your hair.

Oh, no.

Couldn't possibly.

Oh, Armand has been doing my hair since
1976.

He's the one who originally diagnosed my
hair. Oh, my hair.

Schizophrenic, it's temperamental, it's
wavy, oily, dry, straight.

It doesn't even know it's you. Ease up.
I won't do your hair. I respect

professional courtesy.

I don't want to milk Armand's cow.

Armand will be grateful to hear that.

Oh, don't feel bad, Angela.

He'll have plenty of customers without
you.

Yeah. I got a great promotion planned.
Every Friday is back day.

You're giving away baseball bats?

No. Every old bat that comes in gets a
free perm.

Al, bro, just a little piece of advice.
You know, women, they don't like to be

called bats and cows. They're funny that
way.

So, Al, how many other people are going
to be working in your shop?

None. It's called Mr.

Al's, not Mr.

Al's and other people.

But, Al, everybody needs somebody
sometime.

Hey, I know that quote. Who said that?

Dean Martin.

You got me, man.

Al, launching a new business is a big
enterprise. There's lots of details to

think of. Yeah, who's going to watch
while you cut? Who's going to answer the

phone? Who's going to serve the coffee,
huh?

Who's going to keep the back door open
and let the perm stink out?

You people are starting to scare me.
Hey, hey, don't be scared.

Big Brother's here.

Until you find the guys you need, I'll
be there.

Oh, Tony, you're really putting yourself
out for me. Hey, it's nothing. It's

like the man says, when somebody loves
you, it's no good unless he loves you

the way.

D -Martin?

Frank Sinatra.

Oh.

Where did you find that cappuccino
machine? Yeah, out in the garage, huh?

going to donate it to Al Salon. Cleanse
the place up a little bit.

That is so typical of you.

You know, you think of everything.

You know, Tony, you are the most
selfless, loving, generous person I

Oh, shucks, ma 'am.

Weren't nothing.

One thing, though, I'm a little worried
about Al.

You think he has the personality to run
a business?

I mean, that bad day thing was scary.

He's a little rough around the edges,
Angela, but that's because he hasn't

around the public. Tomorrow, I'll give
him some pointers.

See, that's just like you. Give, give,
give.

Well, I know what he's going through,
Angela. You know, it kind of reminds me

my first week in the majors.

Tony, talk about being scared. I was
overwhelmed. I wanted to quit.

How'd you get through it?

A couple of stewardesses from Omaha.

Oh, wait a minute. I'm sorry. I know
they hate that. Flight attendants.

And could they attend?

Oh, boy.

Hey, Eddie. They lived over the bar down
the street from where we had spring

training. Oh, boy. One night, me and
Noreen... Okay, Tony. I get the point.

I'm sure they were a tremendous source
of emotional support for you. Yeah,

good times aside, though, it would have
been a lot better if I had a big brother

to turn to. Oh, come on. Oh, no, really.
You know what happened?

Noreen didn't want to share me with Ida.
So suffice it to say there was a huge

catfight at the Omaha airport. I'm
talking hair flying all over. I think

heard enough. You know they court
-martialed them? Yeah. I never knew you

court -martial students.

Okay, Tony. Yeah, stripped them of their
wings, left them humiliated, and all

for a pretty face.

How do you think a big brother could
have prevented this fiasco?

Well, he could have taken Ida off my
hands.

Hairspray. Hairspray.

Whisk broom. Whisk broom.

Fizzes.

I have an appointment at 1 .30 with the
Mr. Al.

Are you Mr. Al?

No, but I wish I was.

I'm just helping out around here. Why
don't you have a seat? Mr. Al's running

little bit behind schedule.

I don't think I can wait.

Oh, well, hey, waiting for Mr. Al is
worth it. I mean, he'll shape your hair.

He'll define your face.

He'll give you style, volume, and grace.

Oh, couplets.

I'm no Ferlinghetti, but I try.

All right, Mrs.

Watercina, the do is done.

Boy, Rose, you look beautiful.

Yeah, you sure do.

You walked in the dog, you're walking
out here the best of the breed.

What's the imagery, huh?

Well, it's time to pay up.

Saturday's a half price, right?

Yeah, that's right. But I didn't think
anybody would take me up on it. Are you

broke or just cheap?

Ow, ow, ow. Come here, come here, come
here. Listen to me. Now, don't take this

the wrong way, but you got to work on
your people skills.

That's ridiculous.

Hi, cookies?

No peddlers.

You know the way a doctor has to have a
bedside manner? Well, a hairdresser has

to have a chairside manner. I mean,
you're not just selling hairdos here.

selling relationships.

You see, you're selling good feelings.
And be nice.

Ah, come on. We all do modesty. Genius
will out.

Al, listen to me. I think I know what
I'm talking about here. Okay, I try to

more genteel. Thank you very much.

We're ready for you now.

Va -va -va -voom!

What? Compliment.

Park it.

Dun -dun -dun -dun!

Wowee! Hey, that haircut is you. It's
smart. It's chic. Hey, I'm calling

They got themselves a new cover girl,
huh?

Hey, Tony, she's a looker, but don't
they like a little classy abroad?

Huh? Haven't you heard one word I've
said to you all day today? People

Al. People skills.

You've got to be considerate of people's
feelings.

Tony, do not address me thusly in front
of my customer.

I'd like to give you thusly. Excuse me,
fellas.

That's for you.

Thank you.

And that's for you.

Use it to buy a personality.

Need I say more? I think the public has
spoken.

I got my own style and it ain't being a
butt smoocher.

Are you calling me a butt smoocher?

If the lips fit.

I came down here as a favor to you, man.
I treated you like a brother. All I see

you doing is insulting people left and
right.

This is my shop. I treat the customers
the way I want to. Oh, yeah? Well, then

let me tell you what's going to happen,
Al. Like I could stop you.

Look, if you're rude to Mrs.

Capasso, then she's going to tell Mrs.

Battaglia. And then she'll tell Mrs.
Carlo. And then she'll tell everybody

because she's got a mouth the size of
the Suez Canal.

And then before you know it, customers
will start coming in here.

Yeah, right.

All right, let me tell you something. Do
you know, do you have any idea how many

small businesses are started in this
country every day?

And do you know how many actually make
it? A very small portion, Al. I mean,

look at you. You got clips on your
shoulders. You got no business sense.

You insulted the only two people that
came in here. Your white towels are

You're headed for disaster, Al. Chapter
11.

You're a dead man.

Uh -huh.

Yo, so you see the point I'm trying to
make here?

Yeah, I see. All right, good, good.

Now, what are we going to do about it?
I'm going to throw in the great towels

and close the business.

Ow, wait a minute, Al. That's not what I
meant. Al, Al. Oh, come on. I heard

what you said.

Who am I kidding?

I'm a loser.

Hey, thanks for straightening me out.

Fuck, Al. Wait a minute, Al.

Hey, Al.

Al, Al, Al.

Can I go to lunch?

Good morning, Tony.

Good morning.

Where's the coffee?

Oh, no, I forgot to make it.

There's no orange juice or toast either.
Great. Another person I let down.

It's okay, Tony.

It's no big deal. Oh, it is a big deal,
Angel. You know what I did?

I took a young, fresh -faced lad of but
20 and shot him down like a duck in

season.

Couldn't have been that bad.

Oh, it was, Angel. Last night, I drained
all the strength and will out of a man.

You too?

I'm not a good big brother.

Big brother should be nurturing and
caring, not dominating and overbearing.

do I always have to have the last word?
Oh, but Dad... Would you let me finish?

See? You see? I did it again. I'm
incorrigible.

Dad, don't be so hard on yourself. I
mean, anybody would love to have you as

big brother. Oh, yeah.

Really, Sam? You don't think I'm too
pushy?

No. Well, what about when you were a
little girl and you used to like to draw

your coloring books and I told you all
would look much better if you stayed

within the lines?

Oh yeah.

I've blocked that out for years.

Now it's back.

Thanks.

You see? You see what I do? You see what
I do? I'm great. I build cases for

people to throw away their dreams.

Why do I have to be so devastatingly
articulate?

Tony, you're not all that evil.

You're not all that bad.

You're not all that articulate.

Mona, I...

I'm a dream assassin.

That's right, Mona, a dream assassin.

I mean, because of me, Al is probably
sitting in a dark room somewhere with

thumb in his ears singing Guantanamera.

How can you blame yourself for caring?

Yes, you went to the mat for that kid.

Your heart was in the right place. And
it's not your fault that he

misunderstood. What do you think?

Yes, yes. You know, Tony, these things
have a way of working out.

Now I'm sure he's going to think about
what you say. He's probably going to

his wounds and then he's going to come
back and he's going to fight. It's a

fight.

Really? You think so? Yes, I do.

All right. Maybe you're right, huh?

Okay.

I just drove 80 miles to tell you one
thing.

Your brother, Al, is curled up on my
couch in a fetal position humming Disney

tunes.

I hope you're proud of yourself.

I hate me.

Oh, croissant.

Wait for coffee.

We gotta start locking that door.

We're closed.

Hang out.

It's Tony.

Hey, just in time to help me carry this
stuff out to the car.

You know, it seems like only yesterday I
moved this stuff in.

Well, it was yesterday.

Boy, that was the good old day.

Put down the hairspray. Look, you can't
close the shop. I mean, you can't just

throw away your dream.

The dream is dead.

No, Al, the dream lives. And I can prove
it. Here, come on, come on.

Angela, come here, come here. Get in
that chair.

What? I thought you wanted me here for
moral support.

Yeah, yeah, that and your hair.

Armand is so territorial.

Just sit down, please. He's not going to
cut it.

Come on. You guys will just role play,
all right?

Al is going to work on his people skills
with you. Oh, I don't know, Tone. I

don't know, Tone. Come on, let's whip
you two. Come on, Al, here. Here, here's

your brush.

Come on, turn on that old charm, eh?

I don't have any charm.

Yes, you do, Al. You got plenty of
charm. Here, look, look, look.

What do you see here?

Hair. Not hair, Al. Look, what you see
is an intelligent, caring human being

who, once he sits in your chair, is
feeling very vulnerable.

I mean, it's up to you to make her feel
good about herself.

No psychobabble, please. If I want to
work in that field, I want to become a

bartender.

Al, would you just make conversation
with her, please?

Don't feel vulnerable.

That's good. That's good. That's a good
icebreaker. Now, ask her some questions

about herself.

How old are you?

Twenty -eight.

I'm role -playing.

Okay, okay.

Now, what would make this beautiful
woman feel even more beautiful?

Well, it would help if she really were
28.

Let me just show you, please. Can I just
show you?

Hello, my name is Anton.

My, don't you have thick, luxurious
hair?

Now, you know, I don't usually like to
mess with perfection.

But you know what would really give me
chills?

What, Anton?

More nape.

You see, this is very classic, very
Grace Kelly.

Tony, I have no idea that you like my
hair in an up -sweep. Oh, I love your

in an up -sweep, Ben. You know why?
Because it shows off your neck, which,

the way, is very sexy.

I'm so glad you told me. I'm going to
wear it like that more often. Won't it

leave you too alone?

Okay, come over here, please. Come here.
Come here. Now, look.

Pretend, pretend that you have just
finished styling this woman's hair.

What would you say to her?

Nice neck?

No, Al, not nice. No.

You look like Jim Kelly.

No, Al.

Oh, yes. Yes, of course. Come right in.
Mr. Al will be right with you here. Have

a little seat.

Here you are, dear.

That's it.

Al, come on. Come on. Come on. What are
you doing?

Come on. I'll tell you what, Al. Big
Brother's got an idea.

Make this a test.

She represents every woman. If you fail
with her, I'll help you pack.

But if you can send her out of here
satisfied, then Mr. Al's lives.

Hey, Larry Moe, why don't you two just
get over here and get...

cake. Are you done yet?

Because if you are, I'm unhappy.

Hey, who do you think is in charge here?
She is.

You're in charge, and Mr. Rouse, the
customer, is always the boss.

Cappuccino, my lady?

This better not be decaf.

Perish the thought.

What you do to me, it's lopsided.

Hey, if there's something wrong with
you... It's my pleasure to fix it.

Done.

Well?

It's the first haircut in two years that
didn't make me puke.

Oh, well, thank you, thank you.

And you look lovely.

Who's talking to you, olive oil?

And you are lovely.

You're a sweet kid.

See you next month.

All right.

Hey, have a nice day.

Hey, way to go, Al.

Hey, watch this, watch this.

It was a pleasure to serve you.

Thank you for your patronage.

Hey, I did good, didn't I? You did
great, buddy.

Great, Mr. Al. Oh, I'm so proud of you.
Fratello mio.

Mr.

Al, I was wondering if you would have
time to do my hair in an upswing? Oh,

sure. But then you're really going to
look like olive oil.

Al.

By the way, it was a very hot chick.

Just checking to see if this baby was up
to code.

Yep, it's up.

You ready to go?

Yeah, yeah.

You know something, Tony?

I think I should start coming to Mr. Al
regularly.

Armand is getting very sloppy.

Well, you know, I'll tell you something.
I can see what's wrong right now. It's

just a little uneven.

Here, wait a minute. What are you doing?
Oh, it's just one little strand. Hang

on a second here.

Do you get it? Oh yeah.
