All language subtitles for Diffrent Strokes s02e17 Big Buisness

Now the world don't move to the beat of
just one drum. What might be right for

you may not be right for some.

A man is born, he's a man of means. Then
along come two, they got nothing but

the genes. But they got different
strokes to take, different strokes to

different strokes to move the world.

Everybody's got a special kind of story.

Everybody finds a way to shine.

We don't matter that you got not a lot.
So what? I'll have theirs, you'll have

yours, and I'll have mine.

And together we'll be fine today.

Different strokes to move the world, yet
it doesn't take.

Different strokes to move the world.

Good morning, gang.

Morning, Mr. Drummond. Morning,
Adelaide.

Hi. Hey, Dad.

Any chance of borrowing a little extra
bread from you?

Sorry, I never lend money to friends.

It ruins their memory.

Dad, we're all broke.

You know, everything costs so much now.

I know, I know. Every other day at my
company, somebody wants a raise.

I can't afford it.

You know, they say in their papers we're
headed for a recession or a depression.

What's the difference?

Well, Arnold, in a recession, you have
to tighten your belt.

In a depression, you don't have any belt
to tighten, you lose your pants.

Here's lunch for the bunch.

Kimberly. Thank you.

Willis. Oh.

Arnold.

Arnold,

what is in there?

Your lunch or your laundry?

I always pack him a couple extra
sandwiches, Mr. Grumman, in case he gets

while he's eating.

Are you guys telling me that you can't
get along on your allowance? Right. No

way. You got it.

Okay, now, just how badly are you kids
hurting?

Well, Dad, we're having to do it off the
bare necessities of life.

Like a double -decker train.

Oh, and Daddy, I desperately need a pair
of disco shoes with the flashing lights

in the heel.

Well, who doesn't?

Look, you kids all get very good
allowances.

The things you want are all luxuries.

If you want them badly enough, I suggest
you find a way to make some extra

money. How? You can't get a job if
you're under 16.

Well, then start your own business.

When I was eight years old, I had a
lemonade stand.

Then I got another one.

Pretty soon, I had a whole string of
them.

I was known as the queen of the lemonade
stand.

Queen?

Yeah, my mother refused to cut my curls.

Listen, kids, I'll tell you what you do.

In business, you find out where there's
a need, and then you fill it.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Hello, Harry.

What's up?

Well, who is Angelo and what is his
gripe?

You handle it. That's what a general
manager's for.

Look, you tell Angelo that no department
head in our company has ever had a

share of the profits.

It would set a precedent.

All right, I'll be there in a few
minutes.

Kids, I have to go over to the plant.
I'll be back in a little while. Okay,

-bye, Daddy. Bye.

Mr. Drummond. Thank you, Adelaide.

How'd you kids do with your allowances?
We didn't. He struck out, fouled out,

grounded out, and bombed out.

Well, I guess it's back to being a
normal, overprivileged kid.

Oh, you poor dears.

Well, I put some of my extra special
brownies in your lunch bag. Maybe

make you feel better. Oh, thanks,
Adelaide. I love them. Oh, I better get

out to school. Bye, everybody.

Thanks for the brownies, Adelaide. The
kids at school go crazy about them. They

really like them, huh? Mm -hmm. The kids
in my class will trade anything for

them. They give me old candy, fruit,
sandwiches, kisses.

Kisses? Yeah.

Barbara Kramer gives me two kisses for
each brownie. Sometimes she throws in an

extra kiss for a tip.

I think I'll pack a few brownies and go
to a singles bar.

Hey, what a terrific idea for us,
Arnold.

But I don't think...

me in a singles bar.

No, I mean for business.

Instead of giving away our latest plush
brownies, we'll sell them. Like Dad

said, we'll be filling your needs.

Hey, yeah, that's a terrific idea.

Except it's sure going to give me a
problem.

What's that?

Well, if I charge money for the
brownies, I'll be missing all that

Well, Arnold, what do you want to do?

Make money or be a lover?

I'll take the money.

I got plenty of time to be a lover when
I'm 10.

Harry, I told you at the plant. I don't
want to talk to Angelo.

Yes, I believe he's a good man.

That's why I okayed the salary raise you
gave him when you made him head of the

electronics division.

Hey, Dad!

Guess what?

But, Harry, you do not share in the
profits unless you risk your capital.

you tell Angelo that for me.

Goodbye. What's all the excitement,
guys? Dad, we did what you told us. We

wouldn't have been in something
Adelaide's fudge brownies.

Well, a dime a piece, and we made a
whole dollar twenty, and it's all a

profit. Except when we eat into the
profit.

Oh, that's terrific, Guy.

But what about your cost?

Oh, that's the best part of this
business.

You pay the cost, we get the profit.

Have you spoken to Adelaide about the
brownie business? It'll be a lot of

work for her, you know. Oh, she'll do
anything for me.

Do they or do they not call me sweet
talking woman?

That's one of the things they call you.

Bad news, Mr. Drummond. Another plant
died.

Stop me before I kill again.

Are all the plants dying on you?

Well, let me put it this way.

When they walk in the room, they ask for
a priest.

Let me know when the funeral is. I'll
tend to plants and flowers.

Put me in all doffs and flowers, too, Bo
Derek.

Bo Derek?

Well, if I'm a ten, it's two fives in
the wrong places.

Everything you got is in the right
place, short but sweet.

We want to talk to you, Adelaide. Have a
seat.

Thanks. Already got one.

Me and Arnold wanted to go into business
selling your fudge brownies. As long as

you're baking them anyway, would you
bake me and Arnold an extra dozen?

A dozen?

Well, I guess so.

Now, wait a minute, fellas.

It's enough that I have to buy the
ingredients.

If Adelaide agrees to make the brownies,
shouldn't you pay her something for the

extra work?

Pay her?

Adelaide loves making brownies.

guy.

But I couldn't take any pay.

All right, then how about helping
Adelaide with some of her work, like

out the garbage or polishing the
furniture or wiping the dishes?

Well, I didn't know where you were
headed, but I like where you arrived.

Okay, fellas, is it a deal?

It's a deal.

Shake it.

Arnold, someday we're gonna be famous
for our fudge brownies.

And rich.

We'll be tycoons.

Yeah.

Then we got to decide a name for our
company. You know, I kind of like the

Willis Brownie Company.

Seems to me there's some important name
missing.

You're right, Arnold. Make that the
Willis Jackson Brownie Company.

Try again.

Okay.

The Willis Jackson and Associates.

our house twice.

The second time he left me in a note
apologizing for the first time.

I'm just kidding, Arnold. What do you
want to call the business? Something

that's fair.

Arnold and friend.

Okay, Arnold. Let's just call the
business the Jackson 2.

You're playing my song.

Shake again.

All right.

Hey, guys, Daddy just told me about the
terrific business we're going to be in.

We've got it made.

We?

Wallace and I are only... Two and two
don't make a we, it makes an us.

You mean you're not going to include
your own sister?

Sorry, Kimberly, but this was our idea.

Well, I still can't believe you're not
going to make me a partner.

Well, Kimberly, we did all the work
already.

We got suppliers, distribution system,
and a name for our company.

Now, how would it sound if we called it
the Jackson Two Plus Sister Brownie

Company?

It's because I'm a woman.

Haven't you guys heard of the ERA?

Yeah. Well, what your earned run average
got to do with it.

Okay, you guys.

But I could help you make a lot more
money by selling those brownies at my

school, too.

Hey!

Sweet and tall stuff.

What's your rush?

How would you like to be the first
employee of the Jackson 2 Brownie

We can make you a sweet deal, sweet
sister.

What's your deal?

Excuse us while we go into executive
session.

We got to exec.

Okay, Kimberly.

We'll give you a big fat penny for every
brownie you sell.

That's the best deal anybody ever got
with our company.

How's that sound?

Disgusting.

Uh, Willis, we better exact again.

Yeah.

Okay, Kimberly.

We'll give you two big fat pennies for
every brownie you sell. How's that

How does this sound?

Ha!

Here's my bottom line. I want half of
everything I sell.

Half? Like in 50 % down the middle?

Now I know why they say never do
business with relatives.

Sister, you are really greedy.

Me? What about you two?

Well, we're the bosses.

Dad said the one that takes the risk is
entitled to the greed.

Well, that's it. Half of what I sell.
You can take it or leave it.

Okay, Kimberly, you got a deal.

But you're bleeding us dry.

Me too, boss.

Our first employee, Arnold.

Oh, man, we're really rolling now.
Where's my calculator?

Under the desk.

What is it doing there?

Keeping the desk even.

I got another idea for building our
empire.

Let's see.

Adelaide's making three dozen cookies in
a batch, and we're charging a dime a

piece for them.

Watch how the mind of a tycoon works.

That's 360.

Mm -hmm.

Hey, if we add some raisins and some
nuts in them, we can charge more.

Maybe 15 cents each.

Hey, how about charging 20 cents?

Arnold, there's a lot of tycoons in you,
too.

Oh, man, this big business is a fence.
We didn't budge from this room, and

already we doubled our profits.

Oh, don't worry, Big Wally. We'll have
your five dozen brownies there tomorrow.

Oh, yeah, for sure.

Okay, and thanks for the order. Bye.

Hi, boys.

How is the brownie business?

Terrific. In two days, we took in $14.

Yeah, we're up to our arm tips in money.

Next thing you know, you'll have a
rating in Dun & Bradstreet.

Mr. Drummond, I did it again.

I'm just gonna have to try to find
something to plant that I can't kill.

Like a flagpole.

Don't worry, Adelaide. I'll take you to
find some plants that are just right for

you.

Adelaide, wait till you hear.

Our brownie business is getting bigger.

Dad says we're going to be less of them
dumb and bed sheets.

That's close enough.

Big Wally's Candy Store gave me an order
for five dozen brownies and paid us in

advance. Who are you going to get to
bake them?

I can't handle that volume.

I'm afraid you just lost a cook, boys.

What are you talking about, Adelaide?

to help you fellas. And I can still make
a few.

But I've got a lot of work to do around
here and it takes all my time.

Yeah, I guess so.

Well, boys, I guess you'll either have
to find another cook or give the money

back. Hmm? Good luck.

Well, partner, the bottom just dropped
out of the brownie business.

Well, the business is okay.

The bottom dropped out of Adelaide.

And it didn't have too far to drop.

Well, we still give Big Wally back his
$12 advance, except there's only one

problem.

I borrowed $5 of it.

You dipped into the coffee can?

Yeah, I put a down payment on that
computerized game I wanted.

So there's only $7 left.

Make that $2.

I borrowed $5 for my new engine on the
layaway plan.

Oh, no.

If we don't give him his money back, Big
Wally is going to lay...

Gotta figure out how to save our brownie
business.

The only business we're in is the out
-of -business business.

What are we gonna do?

Now, take it easy, Arnold.

This is no time to panic. Are you
kidding? This is the perfect time to

Hey, guys.

Did you get your problem all worked out?

No. We're up to our brownies in trouble.

Hello?

No, Harry. I do not want to meet with
Angelo. He's being unreasonable.

And he is not going to get a part of the
company.

I don't care if he's threatening to
quit.

As a matter of fact, I'm tired of the
whole thing.

Fire him.

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's
an unreasonable employee.

If there's one tycoon to another, we
know how you feel.

Yeah, we gave L .A. the chance to work
for the biggest cookie company that ever

crumbled.

Okay, Adelaide. I'll see you later,
boys.

All right.

Bye, boys. Bye.

Adelaide, tell me something.

Do you think it's possible to kill
plastic plants?

If it is, I'll find a way.

Oh, hi, Kimberly. Listen, we're just
going out to get some plants. We won't

long. Okay.

Bye -bye.

Hey,

fellas. How's the business going? We ran
into the law of supply and demand.

We demanded too much, and our supplier
quit.

Yeah, we got this big order for five
dozen brownies, and Adelaide said it was

too much work for her.

And it was going so well, too.

Well, I sold my brownies. Here's your
half, $1 .20.

It's like Adelaide stabbed us right in
the wallet.

We could have been millionaires in just
a million more days.

Well, you know, a big wallet ain't gonna
wait that long before it's $12.

$12 isn't the end of the world.

Kimberly, I'm not worried about the end
of the world.

I'm worried about his end and my end.

But all you need is a cook, right?

Well, those recipes, those fudge
brownies, is right in Adelaide's

They're not hard to make. I've watched
them. Could you make them? Sure.

You'd really do that for us, Kimberly?

Oh, of course I would.

You're my brothers, aren't you?

Kimberly, you're the greatest. You're a
superstar.

Thanks, guys.

Well, Arnold, we're back in business.

Would you run that by me again?

What do you mean, partner?

I mean, if I'm going to be your chief
cook and salesperson. We split the

A third of the business each. We split
three ways.

Three ways?

You're forgetting that we're the ones
who are taking all the risks.

We founded this business.

Yeah, we're the founding fathers.

You know, I can't get over you guys. You
want me to...

too, but you don't want me to share the
profit.

Well, that's what business is all about.

You do the work and we make the profit.

That's the American way.

Dad told us all about it. Think that
over, Kimberly.

But without me, sweetheart, you don't
have a business.

Think that over, Willis.

If anyone calls, just say we're in
conference.

Me and my partner have reviewed the
facts, and we'd like to make you a

counteroffer, Kimberly.

What's that?

You're fired.

That's fired as in through, done,
finished, kaput, over, and out.

You know, you are two of the greediest
guys I have ever known.

business as an unreasonable employee.

Well, you two are a couple of selfish
nerds.

You can't talk that way to a boss.

You're fired again.

Who needs her?

Us nerds, that's who.

Well, we don't.

Kimberly said that those brownies are
easy to make, so we just follow the

and make them ourselves.

do you like being the brother of a
genius?

You tell me.

Arnold, do you think we're really being
greedy?

Yeah.

Did we have to buy so much stuff for
these brownies? Well, we had to spend

to make money. We're talking a mass
production.

I get the mixing wrong.

here if anyone wants to go skiing okay
go get the eggs all right

whoa is scrambled eggs okay

oh yeah no problem say that's trouble
having to crack them all right

and I'll get put some chocolate in.

All right.

Hey, did you get that? Whoa.

Here you go. A little bit too much. Let
me get some of that.

It sounds as if the kitchen's having a
nervous breakdown.

No, Daddy. Well, the model decided to
make the brownies themselves.

Oh, no.

Sick of looking at it.

I better go change into my disaster
clothes.

Well, Daddy, I offered to help them, but
they fired me so they could keep all

the profits.

Well, wasn't that kind of short
-sighted, boys?

You know, sometimes you have to give up
some of your profits for your own good.

We're just doing what you did, Dad.

Like when you fired that guy, Angelo.

Boys, this is an entirely different
situation.

Now, you start cleaning up your mess
right now.

And I don't care how long it takes.

I'll get my grandchildren to help us.

Here.

Hello?

Harry, I don't care if Angelo wants to
talk to me. I don't want to... Oh,

Angelo.

No, I'm afraid the share of the profits
is out of the question.

No, I would not call that short
-sighted.

I'd call...

Angelo, come by my office tomorrow.
We'll talk about a percentage.

Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.

Here, Dad.

Have a brownie. You deserve it.

Those are brownies?

We could have started a rock garden with
the ones we threw away.

Guys.

I'm afraid I set you a bad example on
how to run a business.

I didn't realize I was being so greedy.

I'll tell you what.

I'll lend you the money to pay back Big
Wally.

Oh, thanks, Dad.

Dad, since you're feeling so
responsible, there's something else you

Grab a broom.

All right.

I don't want to put the whole burden on
your grandchildren.

I guess we learned about business the
hard way.

Yeah, from tycoon to janitor in one day.

Nothing but the jeans, but they got
different strokes to take.

Different strokes to take.

Different strokes to move the world.
Different strokes to take.

Different strokes to move the world.
