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
take, different strokes to move the

Everybody's got a special kind.

Everybody finds a way to shine.

It don't matter that you got not a lot.

So what? I'll have theirs and you'll
have yours and I'll have mine.

And together we'll be fine. Different
strokes to move the world. It doesn't

different strokes to move the world.

Bye, Dad. Bye, Daddy.

Hey, where are you guys going?

Oh, to the hockey game. We thought we
could... we're out of here while you had

your surprise party for your friend
Frank. Oh, thanks.

Come on, Arnold, let's go.

Arnold, why are you wearing a goalie
mask?

Because I don't want a wild puck up my
nose.

Arnold, you can take that mask off. You
are not going to the hockey game

tonight.

What are you talking about, Dad?

I am talking about the D you got on your
last history test.

You are going to stay home tonight and
study history.

Well, in a way, I am. If I go to the
game tonight, by tomorrow, it'll be

history.

I didn't think you'd buy that.

I'm sorry, Arnold, but Daddy's really
right.

Yeah, don't worry about it, Arnold.

We'll bring you back a program.

Thanks. And wrap it around a hot dog.

Ah, that'll be the man with the cake.

Good evening, young person. Is Drummond
resident?

Yes, he is.

Excellent. I am Milos. I come bearing
birthday cake.

Ah, would you please put the cake on
this platter? Thank you. Your command is

wish.

Boy, oh boy, some apartment.

It reminds me of Czechoslovakia.

Do they have apartments like this in
Czechoslovakia?

No, train stations.

See you guys later. Bye -bye. Have a
good time, kid. Yeah, you too.

It's a small cake for Milos.

Back in Prague, where I learned to be
pastry chef, I bake cake this big for

Russian diplomat. Why did you need such
a big cake?

Well, you need big cake when you have to
say, Happy birthday, Nikolai Ivanovich

Mislakhnukovnich.

Well, it's a beautiful cake, all right,
and my friend Frank is going to be even

more surprised than I'd hoped.

Why is this?

Because it says, Happy birthday,
Shirley.

Oh,

I am so embarrassed.

Don't worry about it. It's no great
catastrophe.

Oh, you're so kind.

It is nice to live in country where if
you make mistake, they don't give you

cigarette and blindfold.

Frank will just have to do without a
birthday cake.

Dad, I have an idea.

Sure, what's that, Arnold?

I'll eat Shirley off the cake.

Arnold, back to your history.

Ah, I have storming brain.

Mustard and pastry truck is different
cake with no writing.

If you would allow me to enter your
kitchen, I will make up icing and spritz

Frank all over cake.

Dad, could you help me with my history
test, please?

Sure.

Who was the eighth president of the
United States?

Eighth? Ah, let's see. Well, it was
Washington, Adams, Jefferson.

Monroe was in there someplace. Eighth?
If you will allow me, president number

eight was Martin Van Buren.

Martin Van Buren.

I was just about to say that.

Which two presidents died on the same
day?

Oh, that's a tough one.

That's what I wrote on my test.

Answer to small person's question is
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.

It was on 4th of July, 1826.

You are incredible.

How do you know so much about American
history?

I go to night school to learn to pass
citizen tests.

I have a very wonderful teacher, Miss
Armstrong.

Very young, very smart.

It's a pleasure to look on her face.

She reminds me of Hanna Malova Krechnik.

Who's that?

It's Czechoslovakian Mary Tyler Moore.

Well, I hope she keeps you after school.

I go get cake.

Thank you, Mr... Dubrovsky. You spell
that D -U -B -R -O -V -S -K -E.

Those rednecks didn't want us in there.

This guy's going to come in and shoot
us. If we touch his nerve, he's going to

touch our nerve. This is racism.

right? This is bigger than my

apartment. What about insurance, man?

I'm with you.

What do you mean?

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...
You deserve more from your insurance.

Good evening, my friends. I have a
surprise for class.

Anybody here named Shirley?

What is your surprise, Milos?

In boxes cake.

Re -entering intermission.

Good evening, class.

Here are the pamphlets I promised on
career opportunities.

I'm sorry I'm late. Well, actually, the
bus driver was late.

The reason he was late is because the
woman on the bus who had the baby was

early.

Would you like me to pass out the
pamphlets, Miss Armstrong?

Oh, thank you, Kwame.

Featured specs.

Remember, in South Africa, I was a
boxer.

Oh, just kidding, just kidding.

Ming Lee, you don't need a pamphlet to
find a job. You're a doctor.

Only in China. In this country, I'm
still not doctor.

Oh, you will be, Ming Li. You won't
always be a technician in that hospital.

I tell you, I cannot wait for a day I
can practice medicine in this country.

Ming Li, forget it. You will never be a
doctor in America.

Why do you say that?

Because you don't own a condominium.

Class, shall we continue with our
English essays?

Um, Milos.

Your first tonight.

Pardon language.

But complete forgot about essay. I have
a problem in stupid head last night.

Miss Armstrong, Milos and I were
together last night, so I must share

my good friend's stupidity.

Thank you, Minkley.

Hey, I think you two got some hoochie
-coochie going on, huh?

No. Rudy, no hoochie or coochie.

You see, last night I invited Milos to
have dinner with me in hospital

cafeteria. And afterwards I was talking
of my life in China.

Only Milos was not listening. His mind
was elsewhere.

What is your problem, Milos?

Problem is probably no problem.

Excuse me for interrupting you, ma 'am,
but is this the citizenship class?

Yes, it is.

Detective Simpson, I'm here to question
one of your students.

Which one of my students?

It was a Mr.

Ming Lee Chang.

That is me, but not the mister.

You got a point there.

Officer, what do you want with Ming Lee?

Well, there was a theft at the hospital
where she works, and we'd just like to

ask a few simple questions.

Miss Chang, would you mind stepping
outside with me for a minute?

Oh, of course not.

Ming Li, don't say nothing. Speak only
in Chinese.

Please, my friend, there is no need for
concern. I have done nothing wrong and

there is nothing to worry about, okay?

Okay. Miss Armstrong, what are we going
to do about this?

Clack, just because the police want to
talk to her doesn't mean they're going

take her to jail.

Excuse, please, but it's just like in
Czechoslovakia when police say they just

want to ask a few simple questions.

That means you can kiss your sweet
Petruski goodbye.

That's in Czechoslovakia, Milos.

Here, you're innocent until proven
guilty.

Believe me, police are same everywhere.

Innocent people like Ming Lee aren't put
in jail.

May I ask hypothetical question?

You mean hypothetical question.

Anyway, take hypothetical person like
Ming Lee. Suppose police take her to

prison and she cannot prove that she is
innocent.

But suppose there is hypothetical
witness.

Some man who happened to be there who
saw real thief steal drugs.

What drugs?

Yeah, what's this about drugs?

Did I say drugs?

I'm afraid I will not be able to finish
class tonight.

Unfortunately, I have very good excuse.

I'm being arrested.

Why are you arresting her?

Well, she had the only key to the
hospital dispensary where some drugs

stolen. Drugs?

answer that question you raised. A
hypothetical person like Ming Li would

go free if there were the witness who
actually saw the theft and told the

police. That would be the right thing to
do. The hypothetical witness should

come forward.

Only if he's a hypothetical dummy.

Wrong, Rudy.

Trust me, Miloš.

I wish you all to know...

I have never had such good friends and
such wonderful teacher.

Goodbye.

Jake,

please.

Woman is innocent.

Oh, and how do you know that?

Because I saw crime.

I am witness.

You saw?

Oh, in that case, I think you'd better
come down to the station house with us,

too.

Station?

For why?

We just want to ask a few simple
questions.

Few simple questions. Questions?

I am kissing my sweet Petushki goodbye.

Well, that's a three -sheeter.

Four -sheeter.

Nope. One -sheeter.

Go ahead. Try one sheet of our best

What?

Oh, he's about my size, but he don't
talk so good as me.

Oh, excuse me. I can't talk to you no
more. I got to go talk to the door.

Hi,

Rudy. Oh, hello, Miss Armstrong.

I was hoping it was Milos.

Why would Milos ring his own doorbell?
Doesn't he have a key?

Well, you see, we got the system.

In case I got something cooking.

Milos was the cook.

You mean cooking.

You're not cooking now, are you?

Oh, no. It's been a slow week.

It's been almost two hours since Milos
went off to the police station.

Have you heard anything?

No. And thanks to you, we may never hear
from him again.

Trust me. Do you trust the police?

Please, how do you think I feel? I've
only been teaching two months. This is

first class.

Two of my students are in jail. One,
because he listened to me. That is

Couldn't you at least argue with me a
little?

I am sorry, Ms. Armstrong.

It's just that I am so worried about
Milos.

He is so emotional.

He cannot control himself like me. He
has no self -control!

I guess you're upset.

Rudy,

I... I'm sorry. I did not know you had
lady here.

That's not lady. That's our teacher.

Milos, am I glad to see you. Please, no
affection while innocent woman is still

in jail.

You hear that? Ming Lee is still in
jail.

Tell us more about your wonderful
police.

You can say that again.

They did not believe me. They said
because I am friend, I could be making

lullaby for her. You mean alibi.

That too.

And they told me I cannot leave town.
This means I am still off hook.

On the hook.

The real trouble with this country is
nobody speaks Czechoslovakian.

Please, calm down and tell us what
happened.

Well, they take me to police... I see
Cuban was using self -control again.

Tell us what happened at the police
station.

Well, I told them everything I knew. And
believe me, they are not through with

me yet.

Look, Milos, here, if you're innocent,
you'll go free.

Even if something goes wrong, you'll get
a public defender.

If he is so innocent, why does he need a
lawyer?

Good question.

What I mean is, even if you're put in
jail, you'll eventually go free.

Innocent people have been in jail for 15
years or more.

Maybe that's not a good example.

She scares me more than police.

Is this why I come to this country?

I hope for better life, democracy,
justice.

Where is justice if Ming Lee is still in
jail and police tell me I cannot leave

town? You have to stay in town because
you're a witness.

She is right, Milos. I hear them say
that on all the television cap shows.

They say that because I am suspect.

And one night soon I will hear boots on
stairway, knock on door, and they send

me to jail or worse, back to
Czechoslovakia.

And my dream of citizen is being gone
forever.

Milos, I keep telling you that's not the
way it is.

Sure, so our system may not be perfect.

Now she tells me.

What a mess.

Poor Ming Lee is in jail and... I'm
sorry, Milos.

I didn't mean to get you into this.

I don't know what it is with me.

Oh, please, not to cry.

I know you meant well.

Thanks.

Keep good thoughts, Milos.

It's very important to think positively.

I wish I could.

She's a very nice lady.

Yeah, she's a good friend, too.

Oh, yeah, and you are a good friend,
too, Rudy.

No, no, it's lucky day for me when I
meet you.

It was luckier day for me when I meet
you in that school cafeteria.

I was broke.

But you, a total stranger, you bought my
food.

Yeah, you look like man I could trust.

Ah, thank you. By the way, you never
paid me back.

You'll get it back next week if you're
not in jail.

Thank you.

I think.

Milos, amigo, listen to me.

Do not let the police drive you crazy.
You've got to think of something else.

Rudy, it does not matter what I think in
head, but what I feel in heart.

Total fear.

Now, class, the O -U -G -H in this word
is pronounced off, and the O -U -G -H

in this word is pronounced O.

And why is that?

I don't know why, but that's how it is.

You see, the English language is very...
Well, it's very...

I'm sorry, class.

Are you all right, Miss Armstrong?

Please forgive me. I just can't
concentrate.

My mind is on Ming Lee and Milos, and
now Rudy's not here. You must stop

yourself.

Miss Armstrong, you must remember that
you are a very inexperienced lady.

It's not your fault that you don't know
what you're doing.

Miss Armstrong, do you think they will
release Ming Lee?

Well, I'm not sure, but she's getting a
public defender, and I know she'll be

proven innocent.

And meanwhile, she has a comfortable
cell that she shares with a very nice

hooker.

What is a hooker?

Oh, that comes later in the course.

Rudy, where have you been, and where's
Milos? I got a hunch he left town.

Why do you say that?

All his clothes are gone, all his
cooking utensils are gone, and he left

note saying he was leaving town.

No.

Good evening.

Milos is back.

Milos, amigo, I was just telling them
about your note. Please disregard what's

written by cowards.

I sneak away in the middle of night.

First I take subway.

Then I get off. I take bus.

Then I take other subway.

Then I take other bus.

Then I realized horrible thing.

I'm in Bronx.

Then I remember what you say, Miss
Armstrong.

And I say to myself, Milos, it's wrong
for you to run away. Fool on you.

Must trust system. You are right.

Oh, I'm so glad, Milos.

Ming Lee is innocent and I will keep
yelling on police until they free her.

And if they want come for me again, so
let them come.

Excuse me. But why so soon?

Just to explain.

Look,

Mr. Dabrowski, you hung in with your
story, so we checked out the description

the fellow you said you saw steal the
drugs.

And he fit an M .O.? M .O.? What is M
.O.? It means method of operation.

What I really wanted to tell you was
that there's a guy out there running

pulling these kind of jobs. And we're
going to get him. But we haven't yet.

The point is...

I busted your friend Ming Lee here in
front of all of you, and I just thought

should apologize to her in front of all
of you.

I want to thank you for the cooperation
you gave us out at the station, Miss

Jang. You are welcome.

And if I never see you again, it will be
my pleasure.

Hold, please, Mr. Detective.

Here's one more thing, Miss Armstrong.

Something I never thought I would live
to see myself do.

What do you mean?

Kiss a cop!

Got one more.

Well, class, that was quite an
experience.

What have we learned from this?

I know.

Never have dinner with Ming Lee.

Is it anybody going to ask me what grade
I got on my history test today?

No.

Just kidding, just kidding.

Yeah, of course we want to hear, Arnold.

I hope it is a better grade than the D
you got on the last one.

It is so much better you'll want to give
me a reward.

What's the grade? What's the reward?

The reward is that Dad won't ground you
for the D you got.

Oh, would you quit stalling? What grades
did you get?

one question. It was about John Alden
and Miles Stanish. I had Priscilla

out with the wrong dude.

Good evening.

You remember me, man from Stupid Cake?

Yes, come in, come in, come in.

Hi. Hi. What brings you back, Mr.
Dubrovsky?

I return to make up for mistake with
cake for friend Frank.

I bring gift.

Oh, that wasn't necessary, but thank
you.

Coincidentally, Small person got an A on
his history test.

Ah, good.

So did I.

You like?

Oh. Oh, it's terrific. Wow. Wow.
American flag, yeah. Great.

Wow. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

I'm afraid you got 51 stars.

Ayaknik is one too many.

Nothing but the truth.

I want you to meet my new man. This is
Hector.

You know, I want to tell you, sir, that
I heard a lot about you, and I'm very

honored and proud to work for you.

Malcolm's only a silent partner in the
garage. Any kissing up goes through me

first. Got it?

Got it. Could you please tell him, sir,
that he has on a very nice shirt?

Well, thank you very much.

The man's got good taste. He's a
definite keeper. Yes, yes. Now, as for

what is this bottle of antifreeze doing
in my freezer? Hopefully not freezing.

Look, Eddie, my kitchen is not a part of
your garage, okay? Now, the health

inspector's been hitting all the bars
lately.

If he finds something like that in my
freezer, he'll shut me down. You know he

shut down McGinley's yesterday.

What for?

Apparently one of his secret ingredients
had a tail.

Man, I just had his curly fries.

Look, from now on, just don't walk
through my kitchen anymore, okay? I'm

to treat your kitchen like holy ground.
Okay.

Yo, yo, yo, yo.

Check out the carburetor. It's sparkling
clean from your dishwasher, sir.

Sparkly clean, sir.

Isn't it quite funny, Bob?

They just won't leave you alone.

What you did inside your home?

Milton's back.

Who's Milton?

Well, Kelly banned him from the bar
about a year ago. The guy is just a big

jerk. Maybe he wouldn't be if you
treated him with some kindness and

you know.

Watch and learn, my dear.

Watch and learn.

Check it out.

Hey, how you doing?

Welcome to Kelly's.

Get me a drink.

Okay, well, that's what we're here for.

What's your preference?

To have a drink in front of me instead
of you. Nope.

Watching, not yet learning.

Get me a scotch on the rocks, and today
would be okay.

I'm coming right up, my friend.

Yo, this scotch is a jerk.

Hey, where's my scotch? You go all the
way to Scotland to get it?

Hey, relax yourself. It's coming.

Based on the new management I heard,
huh?

What chump would buy this dump?

If you're asking who has the right to
refuse you service, that would be me.

Oh. Did I say chump? I mean champ.

Champion Chump.

Who's Kung Fu?

Just kick his ass out of here, man. No,
no, no.

for the people and I don't want to cause
a scene.
