Yeah.

Well, I'd like very much to see that
property, Dorothy.

Why don't I pick you up Saturday at one
o 'clock?

Fine.

How's your charming daughter?

Please tell Kathy I said hello.

Okay. See you Saturday.

Hi, kids. How was school today?

It was okay. All right.

Terrible.

Do you want to hear who's not bad?

What happened to Arnold?

I don't know.

Arnold?

Come here.

Yes, Dad.

What happened to school today?

Nothing.

You just said it was terrible. Now you
say it's nothing.

Well, it was nothing terrible.

Come on, Arnold. Tell us what happened.
Spill it.

Well, if I spill my dirt, will you give
me a life sentence?

The judge will take it under
consideration.

Well, the teacher got mad at me because
I threw an eraser in class.

Well, I hope you didn't hit anyone.

Just the teacher.

Arnold, why did you throw an eraser at
the teacher?

Well, I wasn't throwing it at the
teacher. I threw it at some kids who

teasing me.

Arnold, either stop throwing things or
improve your ass.

What were they teasing you about,
Arnold?

This. Our class picture.

Where are you?

Hey, he's not in it. Yes, I am. Where?

See that empty space right between those
two girls? Yes. Right below that empty

space is me.

That's what happens when you're short.

No, no, no, that's just a photographer's
mistake. We'll get him to take the

picture over again.

Dad, it's not just a picture.

I'm tired of being called short stuff
and half -pint.

And the one I really hate is fire
hydrant.

Don't pay any attention to them, Arnold.

Yeah, they're probably just jealous
because you're such a fuck. Fuck!

Another short animal.

Arnold, I want to tell you something.

Sometimes kids can be very cruel.

You have to just learn to ignore it, or
better still, take it with a sense of

humor. I try, Dad.

If they... Say something mean like, hey,
are you standing in a manhole?

I come back with a basket.

Like what?

I say, if you think I'm short, you
should see my wife.

Well, that's a good comeback, Arnold.

Hey, look, Arnold, we know what you're
going through.

But it's all going to change as you
grow. Now, in the meantime, you just

keep your sense of humor and be patient.

Be patient. Be patient.

I've had it up to here with patience.

Make that up to here.

I'm tired of being short, and I'm tired
of being picked last when they choose up

for games.

Look, son, not all kids grow in the same
way.

Some kids don't get their full growth
till they're older.

How much older? By the time I can reach
a glass of water in the sink, I'll be

putting my teeth in it.

in there, Arnold. A little happened.

Remember, Kareem Abdul -Jabbar was once
your size.

Yeah, the day he was born.

That's it.

That's funny.

Hang on to your sense of humor.

Arnold, you ought to think tall, talk
tall, and walk tall.

I look kind of silly ducking under
doorways.

Emily's right, Arnold. Think tall.

Yeah, and watch your diet. Stop eating
all that junk food. Eat healthy foods

like fruits and vegetables.

Yeah, and do some stretching exercises,
too. You think that'll help? Sure it

will. Positive.

Okay, that's what I'll do. I'm gonna eat
right, think tall, and exercise.

I dig. Before you know it, I'll be

You know, this is like old time.

The Wire, tonight at 9 .30, right here
on BET.

The College Hill Atlanta gang goes
camping.

I have to spend more time with these
people outside of the house. But this

your typical road trip. Girls, guys,
bears, and gunshots. Oh, my.

Catching all new College Hill Atlanta,
tomorrow at 10.

Stretching myself.

It's a lot of operation tall.

How long you go on there?

Till my feet touch the ground.

Don't ever do that. You have the longest
armpits in town.

Well, time to stretch the other half.

Lift me up, Willis, so I can hang from
my knees.

I don't want you slipping and falling on
your head.

So what?

At least then I'd be taller by a bump.

That's the idea, Arnold.

Nothing better for you than vegetables.
Really healthy.

Best thing in the world. Want some? No,
thanks.

You sure these cats can help me? I've
never seen a tall rabbit before.

You just keep chopping away.

I sure hope this works, Willis. Oh, it
will.

I mean, you're going to be so tall that
birds are going to make a nest in your

hair.

Oh, come on.

I mean, really. They're going to lay
eggs in your afro.

I don't want to be a tree.

I'd need a knothole instead of a belly
button.

Come on over here and measure me.

But, Arnold, you've only been doing this
for a couple of days.

Yeah, but I feel kind of taller.

My feet are starting to look further
away.

Okay.

Now, this is how tall you were when you
started two days ago.

Right.

Okay. Wait a minute. What's the matter?
Better have a quick carrot fix.

Now measure me. Okay.

Hey, Arnold!

That stretching really works. You've
gotten taller.

Oh, yeah? How much?

Almost the whole entire eighth of an
inch.

a ruler touch my head?

Because I don't want to put a dent in
your hair.

Well, you're just trying to jive me to
make me feel better.

No, I'm not.

Believe me, if you keep growing this
fast, your mouth will be where you know

this.

You'll have to be careful that you don't
blow out a tooth.

Hi, guys.

Hey, Dad, I just measured out and he
grew a whole entire eighth of an inch.

A whole eighth of an inch. How about
that?

And he doesn't believe me. He measured
my hair. If hair counted, I could let it

grow till I'm seven feet tall.

Hey.

I know how you feel, son.

But try not to be impatient.

You're gonna grow, I guarantee it.

When and how much?

Well, I can't answer that.

Nobody can.

Actually, that's not quite true, Willis.
As a matter of fact, Arnold,

There are doctors who specialize in this
very thing.

They're called endocrinologists.

Now that's for me. Somebody who can make
my ends grow.

They don't make you grow, but they can
tell you how tall you're going to be.

What do they do?

Stretch you out like a rubber band?

Measure you, then let you snap back?

That's an interesting thought.

No, I think what they do is they take
certain tests.

They x -ray certain bones, and then from
that, they can project what your

eventual height will be.

Well, what are we waiting for?

Let's go see one of those
endocriminologists.

Okay, that's just what we'll do. I'll
call and see if we can get an

tomorrow. Thanks, Dad.

Oh, great.

Hey, that's terrific, Arnold.

But I never thought I'd see you so happy
to go see a doctor.

Well, doctors aren't all bad.

You can stick your tongue out at them
without getting into trouble.

Boy, this guy's in a lot of trouble.

Looks like his mother was scared by a
highway.

Just a minute.

This isn't going to be easy.

Who's going to tell him?

Well, I will.

With your help.

Here we are, Arnold.

you doing, Arnold?

Trying to keep my sullen exposure from
being exposed.

They ought to make those things with
zippers.

Dr. Roberts has some very good news for
you.

Oh, yeah? What?

Well, let's look at this x -ray. It's a
blow -up of your hand, and I'd like to

try to explain some things to you.
First, let's talk about what we call

epiphany.

What are the growth spaces between the
bones on your hand?

We all have them, Arnold. And by
measuring these growth spaces, we can

how tall you're going to be. How tall am
I going to be? Six -three?

Six -two?

Six -one?

Okay. Six feet, and that's my final
offer.

Arnold, according to my test...

It looks like you're going to grow to be
about five feet tall.

What are you talking about, doctor?

Maybe. A little bit taller than that.

Right, Dr. Roberts?

What's certainly possible.

Five for me feet?

That's as tall as I'm going to grow?

Maybe a little more.

How much more?

Oh, an inch or two.

Maybe three.

Wait a minute.

There's got to be some mistake.

Why not?

It's got white bones.

Everybody has.

Maybe that's where it got switched.

I saw this on TV. They were going to
operate on this guy, and they found out

he had was acne.

Arnold, look on the positive side.

You are going to grow that much.

Terrific. I'll always be the shortest
guy in the picture.

Remember Arnold.

It's not how big you are that's
important.

It's what you are.

Dr. Roberts is right, Arnold.

You're lucky.

A lot of kids are much worse off than
you are.

Well, you can get dressed now, Arnold.

Thanks.

Doctor, do you mind if I use your
telephone?

Oh, go right ahead.

Come on, cheer up, Arnold.

Just think, you're going to grow a whole
foot and a half taller than you are

now. Swell.

I'm a shrimp now. When I grow up, I'll
be a jumbo shrimp.

Okay, son.

Why don't you get dressed now, okay?

Dorothy?

Phil Drummond.

About our appointment this afternoon.

How about we meet at my place instead of
yours?

No, no, don't bother with the sitter.

In fact, I'd prefer that you bring Kathy
with you and my son Arnold can keep her

company while we go and look at that
building.

Thanks, Dorothy.

See, this could be very important to
Arnold.

Well, as a matter of fact, I'm calling
you. I was just working because I knew I

had to work. It was miserable.

You want something better than just
minimum wage. I said to myself, enough

enough. I decided to go to Everest.
Training was awesome. It doesn't take a

time. It's short. It's hands -on. Your
structures, they actually focus on you.

It helps a lot. These are the people
that believe in me. They make sure that

know what you're doing by the time you
get out. Now I have a good job, good

and I can support my daughter. If she
can do it, you can do it. Pick up the

phone and call right now and start on
the road to a rewarding career and a

better life.

Call 1 -800 -844 -0604.

Oh, this bad boy is thick. You like
this, right?

This is bigger than my apartment.

So what about insurance, man?

I'm with you.

What are you,

19? Man, get some grown man insurance.

It's time to step up. Your choice auto
insurance, only from Allstate. More

protection, more rewards, starting day
one.

Whether you have an accident or not.
Stop! Yo!

See, that could raise your rates with
me.

You deserve more from your insurance.

That's Allstate, Stan.

Are you in good hands?

On the next Iron Ring, it goes down in
the ATL. Man up!

Luda picks his fight.

It's going to be hard picking Team Luda.
I'm letting you know that right now.

Meanwhile, Floyd and Lil Jon's coach,
Tony Carter, don't see eye to eye. That

was effective.

No, I'm thinking you're going to put on
eight -ounce gloves and punch me for 36

minutes. When I talk the talk, believe
me, I can walk the walk. In all news, I

ain't ready. See who goes hard and see
who goes home.

Arnold, listen.

A friend of mine who's a real estate
broker is coming by to pick me up to see

some property, and she's bringing her
daughter with her, and I'd like you to

keep her company.

Do I have to, Dad?

Well, I'd consider it a personal favor
if you would entertain her.

Okay. Thank you. But I feel as
entertaining as a toothache.

Aren't you going to eat all that?

Why not?

If I can't be six feet tall, maybe I can
be six feet wide.

Arnold, would you answer the door,
please?

Okay, Dad.

Hi.

I said hi.

Oh. Uh, come on in.

I thought you never asked.

I'm Dorothy Gordon, and this is my
daughter, Kathy.

Hi, I'm Arnold. Hello, Arnold.

Hi, Dorothy. Hi, Phil.

Hi, Kathy.

Hi, Mr. Drummond. Nice to see you again.

Well, we'd better run along.

Okay. Make yourself at home, Kathy. I'm
sure you'll find that Arnold is a very

good host.

Good, because I'm a very good guest.

Have fun, kids.

Bye, Mr. Gordon. Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad.

See you later.

Wowee. Would you look at the size of
this place?

Wow.

This place is humongous.

Our ballet class could do Swan Lake in
here.

You're in a ballet class?

My mom is a dancer.

She teaches class one night a week, and
I go to it.

But, I mean, do you dance?

Sure, in my mind. Just think how much I
save on ballet shoes.

Can I get you anything to drink or eat
or something?

Uh -uh. Let's just talk.

Okay.

Do you like ballet?

Nah. It's just a bunch of people running
around in their long underwear.

I used to play basketball, but I gave it
up.

How come?

I'm too short.

The only thing I'll ever slam dunk will
be a donut.

Boy, are you on a donut.

What's bugging you?

I don't want to talk about it. Then you
don't have to. Okay.

What's bugging you?

Well, if you really have to know, I got
some bad news today, and I'm tired of

hearing how good the bad news is.

Well, the doctor told me I'm only going
to be five feet tall.

Everybody's trying to convince me how
great he is.

Yeah.

It's tough.

Hey, you want to see my drawing?

Sure. What is it? A building. I'm going
to be an architect.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, and my buildings are going to have
ramps for wheelchairs. Most buildings

don't have them.

Yeah. It must be tough being
handicapped. Don't ever call me

I'm handicapable, turdy.

Oh, boy.

I didn't mean that like it sounded.

Sometimes my brain is on rewind and my
mouth is on fast forward.

Hey, you want to see my train? Sure.
Come on, it's upstairs.

I'm sorry?

I forgot you were in a wheelchair.

You forgot I was in a wheelchair?

Arnold, that's the nicest thing you
could say to me.

Thanks.

Uh, can I ask you something?

Sure. Doesn't being so cheerful all the
time get you down?

Well, being cheerful doesn't mean I'm
not realistic.

I mean, Tracy Austin never has anything
to worry about from me.

In my case, neither does Magic Johnson.

Boy, I'll never grow up. And when I do
grow up, people will still be looking

down on me. Boy, that's a raw deal.

Maybe so.

But I'd give anything to be a short
black kid who can run.

that building.

Well, let me think what else I can come
up with, okay?

Hi, kids.

Oh, hi, Dad.

These are my other two children. That's
Kimberly and Willis. This is Mrs.

Gordon, kids. Hello.

Hi, how are you?

Where's Arnold and Kathy?

Arnold? I thought he was with you.

He wasn't here when we got back.

And who's Kathy?

Mrs. Gordon's daughter.

Where could they be?

Maybe they're upstairs.

Oh, no. Kathy couldn't possibly have
managed the stairs in her wheelchair.

Well, they must have gone out. But don't
worry, Dorothy.

Arnold's very responsible.

Oh, yeah.

And don't let his thighs fool you. If
anyone tries to mug him, he'll bite him

the knee.

Besides, who would harm a little kid
like Arnold and a girl in a wheelchair?

I'll go look for them. I'm coming with
you.

Here they come.

Hi, everybody.

Arnold, where have you been?

We were worried about you. Why?

I had tests. to protect me.

This is my brother, Willis, and my
sister, Kimberly.

This is my friend, Kathy.

Hi. Hi, Kathy. How are you?

Where'd you go, honey?

To get a triple dip banana split.

Yeah. With coconut and strawberry sauce
and hot fudge and whipped cream and nuts

and sprinkles and three scoops of ice
cream.

We would have got the big one, but we
weren't that hungry.

That's what I call self -control.

But you shouldn't have gone out without
leaving a note.

I guess so.

But in all the excitement, I forgot.

What excitement?

Kathy was treating it. I wanted to get
there before she changed her mind.

Well, Kathy, I guess we should be going.

Okay, Mom. Come on, Arnold. Let's go get
my pad.

idea to get them together did some good,
Phil. I hope so, too. Thanks a lot,

Dorothy. You're welcome.

Okay, here we are.

Well, don't forget Thursday, hon. I
won't. Hey, what's Thursday?

Kathy's ballet class is having a
recital.

Ballet class?

Yeah, and after the class, we're going
to get something to eat. This time it's

my treat, unless the big spender comes
along.

Thanks, Kathy.

You're welcome.

Well, I'll see you Thursday.

Okay. Bye.

Come on, Mom. Let's burn rubber.

Bye -bye.

She's terrific, Dad.

Yes, she is.

And you know something?

I learned something.

You did? What's that?

That you really have to count your
blessings.

That's right, Arnold. Sure do. Every
day.

And I've got a lot of blessings to
count. I'm lucky that there are people

love me, and I'm also lucky because of
my height.

Your height?

Yeah, see, I already got my rugged good
looks and my natural charm and my

winning smile.

And if I was tall, I'd be impossible to
live with.

We do just one drum. What might be right
for you?

May not be right for someone.

Then it's born.

Meet the man of each.

Then along come two.

They have nothing but the genes.

But they got different strokes to take.

Different strokes to take.

Different strokes to do the work.

And it doesn't take.

Different strokes.
