I got it, Arnold.

Hey, you guys made it. Yeah, we managed
to slip through the Park Avenue toll

gate. How you doing, my man?

Lieutenant Willis, it's a fantastic
sheikah you're wearing.

Did you have it made?

No, it came right off the rack.

It looks like it came right off the
horse.

Fellas, say hi to Arnold.

Hey, Arnold. Arnold, say goodbye to the
fellas.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Hey, Arnold, what's your problem?

You know how it is for a little kid on
Saturday.

Nothing to do but watch all that
violence on TV.

So don't watch the news.

I was talking about the cartoons.

Then hang out with us, Arnold.

Okay.

Hey! the gang's all here.

Oh, you guys remember my dad, don't you?
Oh, yeah.

Hi. Hi, Oscar. Hi, Charles. How you
doing? Nice to see you. Mr. Drummond,

is a bad.

Get down. Out of sight pads you got
here.

Thank you. I couldn't have put it better
myself.

Oh, hi.

You guys remember my sister, Kimberly,
too? Yeah. Hi, Kim. Hello.

Well, I gotta go now.

Have fun, everybody.

Okay. Bye, Daddy.

Stay cool and don't wig your gig.

What does that mean?

I don't know, but it sounds hip, doesn't
it?

to say hello. It was nice seeing you
guys. Kimberly's into ballet.

That's why she's wearing those leg
warmers.

Oh, I thought she had lumpy legs. Yeah.

How would you feel about a lumpy head?

Kimberly's got a big ballet recital next
week. Why don't you show the guys one

of those fancy steps?

Yeah, do a pas de deux.

But that takes two people.

Then do a pas de one.

Sure, I love the way you dance.

Well, all right. But don't expect
Pavlova.

Thank you.

Thank you. You've been a marvelous
audience.

How would you like to come to our
recital? Sorry. Sorry, ma 'am. Belly

ain't our thing. I heard that.

Hi, fellas.

Lunch is ready whenever you are. I made
Willis' favorite, beef bourguignon.

Beef who?

Bourguignon with julienne potatoes,
artichokes vinaigrette, and to start,

vichyssoise.

Sorry, ma 'am. I don't dig stuff I got
to translate to eat.

Maybe you should have told me what food
your friends speak.

Hey, you guys made her feel bad.

I didn't mean to, but don't you guys
ever get any soul food of yours?

Sure, if you want it. I bet the black
-eyed peas wear false eyelashes.

Yeah.

Willie, look like you're really heavy
into this Park Avenue trip. Hey, what's

that supposed to mean?

Yeah, do not Park Avenue.

It's got the fanciest garbage in the...

All this highbrow stuff.

The ballet, the maid.

Food with names you can't even
pronounce.

So what?

The food doesn't know you can't
pronounce it?

Willis, you ain't the same dude.

Sure I am. Aren't I, Arnold?

Aren't I?

You heard it, Oscar.

That's penthouse talk for ain't I.

Willis, you've changed.

Only his socks and underwear.

Come on, guys. I haven't changed at all.
Yes, you have, man.

No jive.

Look at you.

Even the way you walk has changed.

What do you mean?

Well, you used to walk like this.

Now you walk like this.

Come on, man.

You don't walk like that, Willis. You
walk more like this.

Thanks, Snowden.

I hate to say it, bro, but it looks to
me like you guys are losing your

blackness.

What you talking about, Oscar?

What do you mean, losing our blackness?

Yeah, look at that face.

You call that plaid?

Willis knows what we mean.

You're cut off from your roots, from the
old neighborhood.

You never hang out with the brothers
anymore.

Yeah, down there all you see is white
folks.

Your father's white. Your sister's
white.

Even your maid's white.

You forgot our chauffeur. He's white,
too.

You know something, Charles? I bet even
the cockroaches here are white.

We got a black exterminator.

Willis, what you got is a bad case of
white -itis.

Oh, yeah?

Well, maybe you guys all leave before
you catch it.

What you got is a bad case of stupidity.

I think you both better split before we
stick one of our white cockroaches on

you.

Yeah, beat it, you two.

And in case that ain't hip enough for
you, it means get lost, cut out, hit the

cement, kiss off, turkeys.

I say, Oscar, shall we vacate the
premises?

By all means, old chap.

Talking. Boy, those guys got some nerve
coming up here and insulting us like

that. Yeah, they probably sold our
limousine because it's got white wall

I'm friends.

The jokes we got are so good.

Imagine if Sam were losing our black
man.

When I get up and look in the mirror
every morning, I know I'm not losing

Of course, it has been a long time since
we were back to the old neighborhood.

Well, if you're not saying those jive
artists are right.

Well, they got me pretty steamed, but
maybe they got a point, Arnold.

You know, just to make sure we don't
lose touch with our blackness, it

hurt to go back to Harlem, just for a
visit.

Well, I guess not.

You know, Arnold, maybe we have been
forgetting who we are and where we came

from. Maybe we should even change our
way of life.

Whatever you say.

Just don't ask me to give up the bare
necessities like the hot tub, the

limousine, and the Gucci toilet paper.

Daddy, would you please do something
about that?

What in the world is going on up there?

Well, listen, Arnold won't turn down
their African music. It's so loud. Every

time I start doing this, it turns out
like this.

Speak to them before the neighbors get
restless.

I'm trying to be understanding, but it's
getting harder and harder.

Wait, Daddy.

Have you been in their room today?

No, why?

You'll see.

Oh, boy.

Now listen, fellas, I think...

What

is going on in here?

Hey! What made you do that to him, Dad?

I couldn't resist the call of the
primal...

When did you get these outfits?

Today. They help us get into the African
groove.

Right.

Pull it.

Pull it!

Don't stop us now, Dad. We can start to
cook.

You better turn off your stove before
you get your butts burned.

Now listen. You're going to have to be
an awful lot quieter.

Think of the neighbors.

Kimberly can't even hear her own music.

Are you saying her music is more
important than ours?

No, but yours isn't any more important
than hers.

Now, you want her to be at her very best
when we go to see her ballet recital,

don't you?

Sure, but we're not going to her
recital.

You're not going? Why?

Because ballet is white.

White? Ballet's universal.

Don't you realize how hurt your sister's
going to be if you don't go to her

recital? We're not trying to hurt
Kimberly.

Well, then you've got to learn to
compromise.

I think he's right, Willis. One of us
could go to the recital and I could stay

home.

Neither of us is going, Dad.

Now, look, you two. I've had enough of
this black -white business.

You're overdoing it and I want you to
knock it off.

You're disrupting this whole family.

What is the matter with you, Willis?

Incidentally, Dad, my name's not Willis
anymore.

My name is Asani.

Asani? Yeah, because, see, Willis is a
white name.

So I picked out a name that goes back to
my ancestors.

My name is Abubaca.

But if that's too tough for you, you can
just call me Kunta Arnold.

See, we don't want to live by white
rules anymore.

Oh, really?

Well, let me tell you something. We
don't have any rules in this family that

black or white. We just have rules.

And I'm your father and you'll do what I
tell you to do, Willis.

And that goes for you too, Kunta.

You know something, Dad? I don't think
you're into the African scene.

Look, I'm not against it.

But you're overdoing it.

And another thing.

This is your home, not Harlem. I want
you to spend more time in your own home.

Well, I think we should spend more time
in Harlem.

Starting right now.

Willis?

If you're going to reject everything
that's white, then that includes your

sister and me.

Saturday at 1.

So anyway, Dr. Chadway, I just don't
know what to do about my son's behavior.

I mean, they're defiant.

And they seem to have this obsession
that they're losing touch with their

heritage.

So I thought that a black psychologist
might be more sensitive to the problem.

Well, that makes sense.

Please go on.

Well, I just don't know what's got into
my sons.

I thought I was a pretty good father.

Tell me, Mr. Drummond, do you have any
black friends or business associates who

come to your house?

Actually, no.

What about black literature or art? Do
you have any in your home?

Uh, I guess we don't.

Do you ever take the boys to see black
theater?

No, but they never miss a Richard Pryor
movie.

Sorry.

Well, there seems to be some basis for
their feeling of alienation.

Yes, I'm beginning to see what you mean.
You just made a point now that I hadn't

thought of.

Well, could we make an appointment so I
can bring the boys in?

Well, from what you told me, it seems
that they might be more receptive in

own home.

Let's make an appointment at your place.

Fine. I can make it tonight, if you
like.

This won't ruin your reputation, will
it?

What do you mean?

A doctor making house calls.

Now, listen, everybody. We're not saying
that it's anybody's fault.

The boys have their thing.

Kimberly has her thing. So let's all
cooperate with Dr. Chadway.

Okay, Willis?

Okay.

Well, why don't we all start by stating
how we feel?

Go ahead, fellas.

Well, me and our brother, we've been out
of touch with our roots. And Dad

doesn't want us to express our
blackness.

Oh, no, that's not true, Willis.

I only objected when you overdid it and
showed a lack of respect for the rest of

the family.

Well, did you make your objections
clear, Mr. Drummond?

I think so.

I told him to knock it off or else.

You can't get much clearer than that.
Not without swearing.

I think you guys have become a little
fanatical.

Kimberly, that's a crock of watch -o
-poozy.

What is that?

African bologna.

Come on, come on.

Let's just cool it, kids, okay? Look, I
have an idea that just might help.

Why don't we try a game called
psychodrama?

Psycho? Are you saying we're a bunch of
nutburgers?

Please let Dr. Chadway speak.

Now, in psychodrama, you put yourself in
the other guy's shoes.

Anyone who tries to put themselves in my
shoes is going to have ten unhappy

toes.

It's like being in a play.

You pretend you're the other person, and
you act the way you think that other

person would.

It's what we call role reversal.

Yeah, let's try it. Sure, why not?

Okay. All right, fine.

Now.

Kimberly, you'll be Arnold, and Arnold,
you'll be Kimberly.

Mr. Drummond, you'll be Willis, and
Willis, you'll play your dad. I told you

name isn't Willis. I know, Hazani.

But just for the sake of the game,
you'll be Willis. I mean, you'll be me.

Okay? Okay.

And I'll put a boobaca on the back
burner.

Now, let's say it's a typical afternoon,
and Arnold and Willis are coming in

through the front door from school.

Oh, no, no, no, no, Gus. No, you're Mr.
Drummond and Kimberly, remember?

Oh, right.

Okay, go ahead, Willis, Arnold.

Should we act as weird as they've been
acting lately?

Hey, if that's your impression, don't
hold back.

Right on, Mama.

Right.

So, Bruce, on with the show. Yes.

Thought y 'all might like something to
drink.

What it is, everybody.

Hey, no job. Give me five.

They're making fun of us.

Hey, we're not making fun of you, Dad.

We're just expressing our blackness.

Right, Arnold?

You know it, Blood.

As they say in Harlem, if you don't like
it, you can kiss my chitlins.

I think this group has already had
something to drink.

Please continue, everybody.

Now, what have Mr. Drummond and Kimberly
got to say to Arnold and Willis?

Well, um... Just act the way your father
would.

Oh, it's easy to be dad. Just tell bad
jokes and laugh at them.

Arnold, you're supposed to be Kimberly.
Oh, sorry. I mean, oh, sorry.

All right, fine. Now, let's see if we
can get to the point where this

controversy started.

Willis? Yes, ma 'am.

Well, Arnold and me was up in our room
playing some soul and getting down.

You see that, Arnold?

They got no rhythm.

Stay in your roles, guys.

All right, now, how would Mr. Drummond
and Kimberly react to this?

What's that infernal noise up in the
boys' room?

I'll speak to those rotten kids.

Thank you, Daddy dear.

Because with all that noise, I can't do
my pootie -doo.

I'll take care of it, my adorable,
perfect daughter.

Arnold. If you guys don't cut off that
racket, I'd be forced to tan your

Sorry, Dad.

God beat you to it.

How do you expect Kimberly to practice
her ballet with those drums blasting

away? I don't ever want to hear no more
drums in this house again.

What you talking about, Kimberly?

Who cares about Kimberly's ballet?

How white can you get?

I hate ballet.

Wait a minute, Dad.

I never said that exactly.

Yes, you did, Willis.

Don't say that, Dad. You just don't like
me and Willis anymore.

What? Yeah.

Tell the truth.

You're probably disappointed you ever
adopted two black kids.

Dad, are you saying that because that's
the way you really feel yourself?

I'm not, Dad.

You are.

I'm not Dad anymore. I'm me.

No, no, no. Wait a minute.

If you're you, which me am I?

Any way you look at it, Dad, you're
white, we're black, and we just don't

the same.

Yeah, maybe me and Arnold would be
better off if we had black parents.

Why are you saying these things, Dad?

Isn't that the truth, Willis?

No. You know I don't care what color you
are.

That's right.

As far as we're concerned, you're
colorless.

And, you know, you're really hurting me.

You know I love you.

Me, too.

And we love you, too, Kimberly.

Can we go to her ballet recital, Willis?

Yeah, we wouldn't miss it.

Hey, guy.

I know that it's important for you to
hang on to your heritage.

And I know that I should have been more
tuned in to your needs, and I will be.

But I don't want anything ever to come
between us.

Neither do I.

I didn't realize how I was behaving
until I saw you acting like me today.

He did a great job of being Willis. He
sounded real rotten.

Well, I think we've made a great start,
everybody.

A few more sessions should do it.

Just shows you what a lot of love and a
good psychologist can do.

We really appreciate your help, Dr.
Chadway. It was my pleasure.

And I hope you realize, fellas, that
blackness isn't a matter of what you eat

the way you walk and talk.

It's a matter of dignity and pride.

It's the way you think, feel, and
conduct your life.

Is it safe to come in now?

Sure, come on in, Adelaide.

Gee, there for a minute I thought I'd
stumbled into the Twilight Zone.

Well, we were just working on a little
problem with what they call role

reversal. Oh, I've heard about that.

Was anyone playing me?

I was going to, but I would have looked
silly in your girdle.

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

you may not be right for many more.
