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 of story.

Everybody finds a way to shine.

It 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.

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

world.

Come on, Abraham.

Let's go on to eat something.

I got this in Harlem.

It's dolphin.

a new jaw.

Did you put a lock on your jaws?

I'm trying to do my homework.

But Abraham must be sick. He won't eat
nothing. And he ain't got no pep, and

look how pale he is.

Come on, Abraham.

Let's see you wiggle him thin.

Ow. Arnold, would you stop fooling
around with that fish? I'm trying to...

What's the matter?

Oh, nothing.

Yeah, that's the third time you had one
of those.

Must be something wrong with the both of
you. You look as pale as Abraham.

Well, I may look like him, but at least
I ain't dragging my tail.

That doesn't, Arnold. I'm telling Mr.
Drummond, maybe you need a doctor.

But I don't need no doctor. It's just
one of those pains that comes and goes,

and it just wins.

See, look at you.

No pain, no strain, all my wounds are
remained.

And every unit will have its own solar
panels.

This housing development will get all of
its energy from the sun.

Why, that'll be terrific.

Oh, don't worry. The gas and electric
company will probably figure out some

to charge you for it.

Yeah, let's face it. The only thing left
in life that's free is the air.

And who wants to breathe it?

Gee, I'd love to live here, Daddy.

Tennis course, swimming pool, the
theater. What more could you want?

The money to build it.

I've got 80 % of it, but I still need
$15 million more.

Well, why didn't you say so, Kimberly?

Go get my purse.

Hey, guys, look at this model. Daddy's
new house he developed.

Well, it's not exactly mine, Kimberly.
Our company has several partners, but we

put the deal together.

Oh, man, this is real cool, Mr.
Drummond.

Oh, yeah.

Finally, a house in development for
people my size.

It's so beautiful.

Trees and grass, the lake and... A
spacious apartment.

Yeah, and at prices that people can
afford.

What? No rip -off?

You're trying to start a trend.

Maybe we'll all move in here when it's
finished.

It'd be a terrific place to live. It's
got everything, even its own school.

There goes the neighborhood.

Come on, Kimberly.

Let's you and me... Let's you and me...
Oh, what's that, Arnold? Some new kind

of dance?

Yeah, that's it. A new dance.

The...

Arnold, are you all right? Oh, yeah, I'm
fine.

No, he ain't, Mr. D.

Arnold's got a pain in his side.

He has?

Yep, and he had it on and off.

Mostly off.

Why didn't you tell somebody, Arnold?

They're just growing pains.

Growing pains?

Yeah, I managed to avoid them for nine
years, but now they're catching up with

me.

Tell me.

Is this where you get the pains?

Eh, I guess.

How often do you get these pains?

Not often. Only when it hurts.

Now, does this hurt?

No, but it tickles.

Oh,

I'm going to take you and see the
doctor, young man.

And I'm going to take your temperature.

But I don't need no doctor.

All I need is a week off from school and
an unlimited supply of cookies.

Little brother, you're going to go see
the doctor.

Oh, no, there's nothing at all to be
afraid of. Yeah, what's the big deal?

big deal is that big needle they stick
in you when you ain't looking.

Oh, no, that don't hurt.

Well... Okay, I'll go if I can borrow
your butt.

No, let's go find your dad, okay?

Where did Alice's father go? He went to
make a phone call, Dr.

Padme. Oh. Well, let me know when he
gets back, would you?

Alice, why don't you sit over here,
would you? Okay.

Like to look at a comic book?

Um, no.

I'll just sit and talk to my friend,
Penelope.

Oh, fine.

Fine. You do that.

And it was very nice meeting you, Alice.

And it was nice to meet you, too,
Penelope.

Uh, she's on this side.

Oh.

Yeah, of course.

Penelope. Here we are.

What's going on?

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Tell that to my knees and maybe it'll
stop shaking.

You just sit right over here.

Right.

Mr. Drummond to see Dr. Padney. I'll
tell him you're here, Mr. Drummond. Have

seat, please. Thank you.

Here. Here.

Hi. Hi.

If you want to talk to me, my name is
Alan.

But if you don't want to talk to me, it
doesn't matter what my name is.

Arnold.

Don't be rude. Introduce yourself.

I'm Arnold.

What'd you talk about, Alice?

Well, Penelope goes everywhere I go.

You see what kind of people you meet in
a doctor's office?

Arnold, there's nothing wrong with
having a little friend like Penelope.

You trying to tell me you see her, too?

No, no, no, no, no. It's just that
Penelope is an imaginary friend.

Penelope came to live with me when my
mommy and daddy got divorced.

Oh. Well, it's very nice to meet you,
Penelope.

She just left.

I'm coming out to go to the bathroom.

How old are you, Arnold?

Nine. So am I.

You've got nice cheeks, Arnold.

Yours ain't bad, either.

I can see Arnold now, Mr. Drummond.
Good, Doctor. Could I see you alone for

minute first?

Arnold will be right back, okay?

Oh, no hurry. He can examine you instead
of me.

What's the matter with you, Arnold?

Oh, I have this dumb pain in my side.

I've got one in my throat.

They're probably going to take my
tonsils out.

What are they going to take out of you?

Nothing. I'm leaving this doctor's
office with all my original equipment.

Well, there's nothing to be afraid of,
Arnold.

I know.

scared of a doctor sticking a knife this
big in your mouth and ripping your

throat out and throwing it away oh
Arnold doctors aren't like that sure

don't you go to the movies didn't you
see that one about that crazy doctor he

gets you on the operating table and
while you scream he cuts you up and

parts of you all over town oh Arnold
doctors don't do that

How come they wear masks?

That's so you won't know which ones are
crazy.

I'm not afraid of an operation.

Penelope would be with me.

And I know she wouldn't let anything bad
happen to me.

Oh, all right, Arnold. You want to come
in now?

Oh, thanks.

The doctor's only going to examine you.
There's nothing to be afraid of, Arnold.

Does Dr. Padnick look crazy?

I'm crazy. I'm the one that pays his
bills.

Just trying to lighten the mood.

If it'll help you, Arnold, I'll come in
with you. You will?

Is that okay?

I don't see why not.

Come on, Alice.

Oh, better bring Penelope, too.

Mr.

Tanner, your daughter is in with Dr.

Padme. You know what's taking so long?

Oh, your daughter was finished, Mr.
Tanner.

She went in with my son to give him a
little moral support.

Oh, I see. Well, thanks, friend.

Poor kid. She's supposed to be on
vacation. She came down with a sore

She gets it a couple times a year.

Sure, sir.

Tonsils. Oh, that's too bad. Yeah.

You from New York, are you?

Don't you want to know about my kid?

I just got so much on my mind. A kid, I
just have her one month out of the year,

so you can imagine what that's like.

Well, his side hurts.

Whose side?

My son.

His side hurts. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm
sorry. I hope it's nothing serious.

What line of work are you in?

I'm in cattle. I'm from Omaha.

Oh, Omaha.

Well, then you probably are familiar
with the trade center there.

Sure, yeah. Well, my company built that.

Is that right?

Yeah. Well, that's quite a setup, you
know. You know, I always wondered why

picked Omaha. What was it, the open
spaces, clean air?

Nope, cheap land.

Cheap land.

I was honest anyway. I like that.

I'll tell you something. The next time
you get involved with something like

that, I wouldn't mind getting into it.

You mean that?

Sure. Well, you know, man.

Man does not live by cattle alone.

Well, we just happen to have a very
interesting housing project on the works

right now.

Are you looking for any money?

Well, yes. Matter of fact, we need 15
million.

Now, wait. I'm serious. I might be
interested here.

Well, you know, I ought to come to the
doctor's office a little more often.

Oh, yeah. It's Fred Tanner. How are you?
Let me give you my card. Sure, yeah.

Are you doing anything tonight? If
you're not going to the theater or

you might come by my apartment. We could
discuss it.

Hi, Daddy!

Oh, hi, Angel. How you doing, huh?

Good, good.

Mr. Drummond, Anna was very brave. She
only tried to escape once.

I bet you Alice is going to be just as
brave when she has her tonsils out.

And I think they're going to have to
come out, Mr. Taylor. Yeah, I was afraid

that. Well, let's do that as soon as
possible. The sooner the better, right?

I can arrange it for tomorrow.

Well, great. And listen, I don't want
you to worry at all because there's

nothing to be afraid of. You're right,
Doc? Right.

Okay. Oh, I'm not worried, Daddy.

And if I didn't come to the doctor's, I
would have never met Arnold.

You ought to see him. He has the cutest
cheeks you've ever seen.

Hey, Fred, why don't you bring Alice
tonight, too? We can all sit around and

pinch Arnold's cheeks.

Everybody does that.

I think so, yes.

Listen, doctor, thank you very much, and
I'll get back to you for the details,

okay? And, my friend, I guess I'll see
you tonight. Sure will. Thank you very

much. Bye.

Bye, Arnold.

See you later.

So, what is the verdict on Arnold,
doctor?

I think it could be his appendix.

Well, that's not very definite.

Well, he's got most of the symptoms, but
he also has his appetite.

He shouldn't have one if it's his
appendix.

You don't know Arnold.

He can break the sound barrier with a
knife and fork.

We'll have the results of his test in a
few hours. Very good. Right.

Yes.

Yes. Well, if you say so, Dr. Padnick.

Yeah.

Fine. That's fine.

Right. Thank you, doctor.

Well, what did he say?

Come on. Sit in my lap, Arnold.

Is it that bad?

Arnold, I'm going to level with you.

Dr. Paddington says it would be better
if we had our appendix out.

We?

Can just the white half of that we have
him out?

Arnold, Dr. Paddington says it's a very
simple operation.

It'll take away the pain, and you'll be
very happy you had it done.

What does he plan on making me so happy?

Tomorrow. Tomorrow?

That's what the doctor said.

I want a second opinion.

Oh, come on, Arnold.

It's only a little operation.

You won't even feel any pain.

I'm feeling pain right now.

Hunger pain.

You're not letting me eat any dinner
tonight.

That's because the doctor said he
doesn't want you to eat much the night

the operation.

But even when they put a guy in front of
a firing squad, they give him something

before they shoot him.

Only a cigarette.

I don't smoke.

I'd ask for a blindfold and a peanut
butter sandwich.

Listen, Arnold, you're acting like a
scared little kid.

That's because I am a scared little kid.

Listen, I know how you feel.

And if I could, I'd have the operation
for you.

You would?

You got it, anytime.

You're the best brother a guy ever had.
So are you.

Now cheer up, because when you open your
eyes from the operation, I'm going to

be standing right there holding your
hand.

You will?

You got it.

Willis, you know the tooth fairy that
brings presents when you lose a tooth?

Yeah. You think there's an appendix
fairy?

I'm pretty sure there is.

And what would you like the appendix
fairy to bring you?

Anything you can afford.

Well, if you're brave and don't cry, I
mean real brave, you get you a present.

I'll be real brave. I'll be the bravest
kid in the world. Then you'll get a

whistle. A whistle?

Yeah, what's wrong with a whistle?

A cheap present like that for the
bravest kid in the world?

I mean one of those great big whistles,
the one with all the holes in it, that

you can play lots of songs on.

Oh, well, that's different. My apologies
to the appendix fairy.

Well, I'll spread the word on.

You feel a lot better now.

No.

You'll feel better when your girlfriend
Alice gets here.

Who told you?

D. He said that she looks real foxy.

She may look real foxy, but she ain't no
Diana Ross.

Well, what does she look like?

Oh, I don't know.

Blind head, blue eyes.

She comes up to hear on me.

She's got a real squeaky voice like
Kimberly's doll.

Oh, you mean the one that says, hug me,
kiss me, I love you.

No, the one that says, change me, I'm
wet.

Well, I can see you really dig the
little girl. Because every time you talk

about her, you get that goofy look on
your face.

That ain't from Alice.

You look goofy, too, if you're waiting
for somebody to play darts on your

How's our man, Willis? Well, his side
hurts and he's starving to death. But

outside of that, he's feeling terrific.

Yeah, terrific.

Whoopee.

Well, I'll bet that the two people that
are waiting out in the hall to see him

are going to make him feel better.

Alice and Penelope?

Nope, two other people.

They're just about to knock on the door.

I said they're just about to knock on
the door.

Okay, guys.

It's hard to laugh when you're waiting
for somebody to stick a big knife in

gizzard.

Now, now, Arnold, it's not like that at
all.

You'll never even know that they touched
you.

That's right, and I ought to know. I had
my appendix out.

Did you really have yours out?

Mm -hmm.

I'll get the door, Mrs. Garrett. You
tell Arnold how simple and painless your

operation was.

Go heavy on the painless.

I bet it hurt a lot, huh, Mrs. Garrett?

Oh, no, honest, it didn't hurt a bit.

But I never played the violin again.

You didn't?

Mm -mm. It didn't matter.

I never played the violin before.

That's old.

So was my appendix.

Hi, Darryl. How are you? Hi, Alice.

You remember Alice? Say hi to Mr.
Drummond.

Oh, this is nice. Beautiful.

Daddy? Yeah? Can I tell Mr. Drummond
that Arnold and I are going to be in the

same hospital room, or do you want to
tell him?

Well, I think you just told him,
sweetheart.

Arnold's scared, but don't worry.

I'll take good care of him.

Oh, well, now, that's very comforting.
Thank you, Alan. Right. Yeah, the doctor

said it'd be all right. What do you
think, Phil? I think it's a terrific

Good. Great, great.

Oh, is this the little woman and your
daughter?

No. This is the little woman and the
housekeeper.

My daughter, Kimberly, and Mrs. Garrett.
Mr.

Tanner and his daughter, Alice.

Hi, Alice.

Alice, why don't you go and tell Arnold
the good news that you're both going to

be in the same hospital room together?

Okay. Come on, I'll take you.

Boys and girls in the same room, hmm?

I thought nowadays they only did that in
college.

Well, can I get you anything, sir? What
would you like, Fred? How about a drink?

Oh, no, no, no. I never drink when I'm
carrying my checkbook.

Some coffee, please, Mrs. Garrett. Yes,
sir. This is some model you got here,

Phil. Oh, my gosh. How many units do you
have?

Well, there'll be 300.

This is just one section.

Oh. You see, these are the townhouses.

These are the regular condos.

And these are the single -family units.
Yeah, that's beautiful.

What's this green stuff? Where? Right
here. Oh, that's a piece of lettuce from

my lunch. Sorry.

My goldfish apron hasn't been feeling
too good either.

Maybe he needs his appendix out.

Or his tongue comes out.

Abraham, say ah.

Ah.

Yay!

That wasn't the goldfish.

That was just a big blowfish.

Oh, yeah?

Take this for a sign.

Here.

You know, fish can really talk.

Well, Abraham doesn't say much.

He just sends one bubble up for yes and
two for no.

I'd love to live at the bottom of the
sea.

I could be a mermaid, and you could be
King Neptune.

Good thinking.

And I can have this room all to myself.

You know, I wish I was King Neptune.

Then I'd know where to stick my
pitchfork.

Come on, let's go downstairs and play.

Why are you going to sit there all
night? Come on, make a move.

I want to get this game over with.

Okay. How's this for a move?

This breakdown is fine, Phil.

I brought a cashier's check here now for
$500 ,000.

Well, it's just the kind of check I
like.

It's signed.

But not endorsed.

Oh. Oh, I see. You want your lawyer to
check it out first.

No, no, I'm a lawyer. As a matter of
fact, that's probably why I had you

out before I came over here.

I had you checked out, too.

Yes.

Well, it's nice to start a relationship
on total trust, isn't it?

All right, I'll tell you, you know, if
you can just let me know where to have

bank transfer the rest of the $15
million. We're in business. No problem.

Daddy, I want to introduce you to my
friend Arnold.

Howdy, Mr. Tanner.

Hi, Arnold.

Is this your son?

Yeah, that's right.

And here's my other son, Willis.

Ah, two of them, huh?

Now, you don't need to worry about
feeling surprised, Mr. Tanner. Everybody

usually is.

Willis is Mr.

Tanner. Yeah. How you doing? How you
doing, Willis? Hey. Fine.

Yeah. Right.

Well,

sir. Come on. Let's go in the kitchen
and have some ice cream. Okay.

Good idea.

for you, Arnold.

Sorry, all you can have is a sip of
water.

This might as well be prison.

At least you get bread with your water.

You know, Phil, back in Omaha, families
like yours would be kind of

unusual.

Well, we are kind of unusual.

Well, you plan on having any unusual
families in our housing project?

Why do you ask?

Oh, I don't know.

What the heck?

Anybody's money is just as good as
anybody else's, I guess. Here you go.

Anybody's money, huh?

Oh, I get it.

Tell me, how do you feel about one of
those anybody's playing with your

daughter?

That's different.

Phil, look, we're businessmen, right? I
mean, we've got a good deal going here.

Yeah, and you shouldn't let personal
feelings get in the way of a good deal.

You got it, friend.

I got it.

But I don't want it, friend.

What the hell was that for?

I'm just cleaning up the air in here
before you pollute it anymore.

What is that supposed to mean?

You are a bigot, Tanner, and I do not
want to do business with you.

Well, now that it's all out in the open,
let me say that I'm not real sure that

I like your attitude.

And I know for sure that I don't want my
daughter in the same hospital room with

your kid.

Daddy?

Do you want some of my ice cream?

No, baby, we've got to go. Put it down.
But I'm not finished. No, honey, we've

got to go.

Can I even say goodbye to her?

No, let's go. Come on.

What happened, Mr. Drummond?

You can call it a slight case of
bigotry.

There's nothing slight about bigotry.

Amen.

Hey, Mr. Drummond, where did Alice go?

Oh, Arnold, her father had to leave.

You didn't even say goodbye.

Well, he had a little business problem.
It's not her fault.

Oh, well, I'll just see her in the
hospital room tomorrow.

You know, until I met her, I wasn't too
keen on having this operation.

Arnold, look.

You're a big boy.

You don't really need her.

Does you, Mrs. Garrett?

Of course not.

Are you kidding?

If I hadn't have met her, I'd be in
Alaska right now.

But now, as long as she's there, I'm not
afraid of, uh, well, you know.

As long as she's there.

Well, I'm just not going to tell him
until we get him to the hospital, that's

all. Mm -hmm.

Well, just to play safe, you better
alert the authorities in Alaska.

Now the world don't move to the beat of
just one drum.

What might be right for you?

May not be writing songs for many, but
meet the men of Venus. 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 world. Yeah,

strokes to take.

Different strokes to move the world.
