Thank you.

Okay, here we go.

Come on up.

Ready? Yeah.

All right.

Hey,

what's up? Hey. How you guys doing?

Hey. Give me a high five. Big high five.
Hey, hey, hey. Big high five. All

right. So what, you guys got a massive
cleanup job here or what? Yeah, we got

to. Have a very serious dinner guest
coming tonight.

Who?

Miriam McCabe.

Yeah, right. Get out of here.

No, man, I'm serious.

She's coming over here after she speaks
at a luncheon your mother's hosting.

Hey, Subway Rat.

Dad, tell me something. What is it with
everybody around here?

Miriam McCabe was coming over here.

What, I moved out of the house and
suddenly I'm out of the loop?

Nobody told me that I was supposed to
call you every time we had a guest here

for dinner.

Dad, this is Mother Africa.

This is the woman who has the flyest
music video out. This is the woman who I

discovered two years ago before anybody
else knew about her.

Well, see this.

I guess that erases my 30 years.

So now today you come and this is it and
this is that and you want to be in the

loop. Well, you can't be in the loop.

I'm just lucky that I just happened to
stop by around dinner time.

Yeah. Yeah, well, that's another thing.
See, you can't stay for dinner because

she's coming with your mother, and it's
going to be a nice, quiet dinner here

with no fuss, no people. Okay?

But don't I at least get to meet her?
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a

minute. If he gets to meet her, I get to
meet her.

I want to meet her! I want to meet her!

You want to meet who?

That's what I thought.

Which means hello, y 'all.

See, now, this is exhibit A of what I've
been talking about.

Now, how do you know this is the correct
wear?

I went to the library, and I looked up
an article on Ms. McCabe, and I know

this is the correct outfit from her
region.

All right.

You went to the library?

Uh -huh. You didn't watch a video?

This is what I'm talking about.

You may say hello to her.

That's right. Thank you.

Want to get this home stick?

Pam Tucker fills the void.

Pam Tucker.

Not one of my children.

Not one of my in -laws either.

Pizza.

Awful. Yeah. But loads of fun.

Yeah. Lieutenant Kendall is funny. He
tried to make us laugh by falling down.

And it worked.

Let's do the Lieutenant Kendall.

Yay!

Whoa!

Well, well, well. It wasn't that bad.

Guys get over 30, man. That's it.

Dad, I'm only 30.

Yeah, but you're over 30.

Understand?

Goodbye. That sure smells good. Yeah,
yeah. Just a second. Just close your

Close your eyes. Take a deep breath.

Well,

I gotta go get packed.

miss everything. You just had a
wonderful week.

Daddy came home and you went to the
museums. You went sightseeing and ice

skating. Aren't you happy?

Yes, but it was too short.

Well, listen, that happens and then your
dad will be coming back in about three

months.

Why? Because they take everybody away
and float them on water. For what?

Your father is a man who protects the

waterways.

You ought to tell your father, and he
will take it on back and tell the

And you know what?

It's such a wonderful idea, I'll bet you
they'll give a big reward for that

idea. It was mine!

All right. It was mine!

I'll bet you they'll put you on
television and your picture be on the

of all the newspapers.

Yeah!

Tell it to your father, and he will then
go back and tell it to the admiral and

get it underway.

But he can call the Navy on the phone.

No, Denise is back there. He has to go
back and get Denise, and you don't want

her to be disappointed.

She'll get over it.

That's my daughter.

house. Excuse me.

Certainly.

Daddy, daddy, this elegance came in for
you. You're kidding.

No, and it sounds furious.

Oh, it must be. It's in.

It's like it's in code.

I think I can decode it. Okay.

Dear Lieutenant Kendall, we don't need
you. The boat sank.

Thanks anyway, U .S. Navy.

You know what?

I better call and make sure this is for
real, because if it's not, I could be in

big trouble.

What kind of trouble?

Oh, lots of it.

Oops, wrong telegram. I read it up.

one says, Dear Lieutenant Kendall, we
fixed your boat.

We need your daughter, Olivia, on board
for a secret mission.

Love, the President of the United
States.

Come here, honey.

I'm sorry.

You can't go with me.

Yes, I can.

And Dr. and Mrs. Huxtable, we sat down
and we talked about this.

Do you have your calendar so you can
mark off the days until Denise and I get

back? It's not that many days.

I know. I have my calendar.

And I have mine.

We'll mark off the days together, okay?

Okay. Yeah, that's my big girl. There
you go.

And don't go off too far. I'm leaving
soon.

Okay. And you're not going to leave
without saying goodbye to me, right?

Right. Good.

I love you, Daddy.

Thank you.

I want you to know that we welcome you
to our home and that I have

admired your work for many, many years.
And

that's all I'm going to say.

That's very kind. And please call me
Marian.

Oh, thank you.

Yes, yes.

I just want you to know that I really
admire your work.

And I have all of your albums down

in my basement, but I'm not going to...

Miriam, maybe I should take your coat
before my husband takes this down in the

basement.

And perhaps you would like to have a
seat.

Yeah, yeah. Thank you, Claire.

Thank you. You said you wouldn't go to
any trouble now. Oh, no, no, no. We

didn't go to any trouble at all. As a
matter of fact, this is it. There's no

food, nothing.

Stop. Stop.

This is true.

Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hi.

Well, this is everybody, Miriam.

Hello, everybody.

Hi. I'm not putting on any airs, but I
saw your video, and I think you're

serious. Why, thank you. You got it
going on. I mean it. You're slamming.

When I first came to America, I was
cool.

Now I'm slamming?

Yeah, word up.

Where are Martin, Olivia, and the twins?

Are there more?

This house is bigger than it looks.

No, it isn't.

I think they're all upstairs.

Well, will somebody get them?

I'll go.

I always go.

And I'm sure that the rest of you have
something to do.

Well, excuse us, Mr. Cable, but
apparently...

We have something else to do.

Oh, this is our son -in -law, Martin
Martin.

Mary McCabe. Oh, yeah, I know who this
is.

Miss McCabe, I saw you perform when I
was in Conakry, when I was stationed in

Africa. Oh, yeah.

Guinea is to me home away from home.

Miss McCabe.

Can I take a picture of you with my
daughter? My wife would treasure it. Why

not?

Where's your daughter?

Oh, well, she's not here.

She wasn't upstairs.

Oh, that's funny. She left me a half
hour ago. Olivia!

Olivia!

I'll go upstairs and get her.

Yeah, I'll check out back.

Well, um, I think I'll check in the
basement.

Would you like to check the basement
with me, Miss McKay?

I will check in the basement, and you
can check in your office. Excuse me, ma

'am. Yes, excuse me, please.

Excuse me.

I could go back to the hotel.

I can't meet the whole family. I might
as well go home.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know anyone was in here.

That's okay.

Looking for a little privacy, are you?

Well, if you must know, I'm hiding.

You are?

Yes, my daddy promised me that he
wouldn't leave without saying goodbye to

So, if he can't find me, he can't say
goodbye to me.

At least you've got somebody to say
goodbye to you. These people just left

That's too bad.

Awfully stuffy in here. Is there another
place to hide where there's fresh air?

Maybe we could hide outside.

Okay.

I'm from the continent of Africa.

My name is Nong House.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Do you have a cold?

No. That is my name in Xhosa, Nong
House.

Oh, very interesting name.

My name is Olivia.

In Xhosa, that would be Oli.

Now,

when you... You visit the Xhosa people
in South Africa.

They'll understand you. My daddy went to
Africa.

Do you know him?

I met him here. He's very nice, and he's
very worried about you.

Then he shouldn't go.

Why not?

Because I don't want to be by myself.

Then why do you live in a closet?

I don't live there. I live upstairs.

Alone? No, with my two little cousins,
Winnie and Elfin.

Oh, those are very special names.

In Xhosa, that is Holy Sasa and Nomzamo.

Right.

And they asked to live with my big
cousin Pam.

So you have three cousins. What fun.

Everybody needs a cousin to get in
trouble with.

So you see, you're really not alone.

Yes, I am.

I only have one daddy, and he's leaving.

In my culture, we do not have a word for
alone.

It simply does not exist.

Everyone in the community is family.
That means everyone is responsible for

everyone else.

I like that.

That means you're also responsible for
your family.

You cannot give love from the closet.

I guess not.

It's getting cold out here.

Hi,

Daddy.

I'm sorry.

I was hiding. I didn't want to say
goodbye to you. Oh, sweetheart.

I didn't want to say goodbye either.

of all these people, I'll be
responsible.

That's true.

Well, you just remember that I love you
very, very much.

Thank you, Miss McKeever. Thank you for
everything.

Thank you.

I better get moving.

Does that mean you're not going to take
my picture?

Oh, oh, I almost forgot.

You did forget, but I never forget.

Okay, here we go.

Say cheese.

Just one more.

Hey.

Dad,

dad, dad. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Dad, dad, come on. Bring your granddad
over here. Bring him over here.

Look, do me a favor.

Toxtable cheese.

Cheese!

Now there you are, Rudy.

Now you are a beautiful cloth of bride.

Does this fabric have a special meaning
like the kente cloth of West Africa?

Oh, yes. In my country, South Africa, we
wear this to celebrate our closeness to

the land.

You're jacking off for the ground?

In a way, yes. We honor the land because
the land nurtures us like

the sparkling lakes of Tanzania flowing
through Uganda, straight into

Malawi where the green of Mozambique
flows into the Zambezi, to the

Mountains and the Valley of the Thousand
Hills, to the long, sandy coast.

where the warmth of the sun says goodbye
to us each day.

Wow. You speak with such eloquence and
passion about the beauty of Africa.

We don't see that when we watch TV or
read the newspapers.

That's because that's all you're shown.

My image of my homeland is one of
childhood memory.

I look at a stream. I see myself, a
native South African.

flowing irresistibly over hard obstacles
until they become smooth and then

disappear. And those hard obstacles will
disappear only when people

work together.

Thank you.

Thank you.
