Now the world don't move to the feet 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 world.

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.

Get it into gear, Arnold.

You don't want to be late for school.

I don't think I want to go to school
today, Willis. Why not?

On account of the gooch.

The gooch?

Is that bully picking on you again? I
thought he was your friend now.

He has a funny way of making friends.

He punches you until you like him.

What did he do to you?

Yesterday he soaked my lunch bag in the
water fountain.

You ever try drinking a ham and cheese
sandwich?

Why'd you let him do it?

Arnold, didn't I teach you how to fight?
Last year, you were dancing around like

Muhammad Ali.

Yeah, but I was bossing like Howard
Cosell.

No, you were great.

Hey, come on. Show me some of that fancy
footwork I taught you. Come on.

Okay, now, throw a left and a right, a
left, and look mean.

Meaner.

Now, that's what I call mean.

Yeah, while I'm looking mean, the
Gucci's slam -dunking my head into an

Forget it, Willis. A little guy can
never beat a big guy.

Well, Arnold, you gotta do something to
defend yourself.

Yeah, I will. I'll turn my collar around
and tell them I'm a priest.

Come on, let's go eat breakfast.

Arnold doesn't want to go to school
today because the Gucci's picking on him

again.

Is that true, Arnold?

Yeah.

I thought you stood up to the Gooch last
year.

Yeah, but the Gooch is a whole inch and
a half taller than me now.

And you should see his knuckles. They're
all red from scraping the ground when

he walks.

Come on now, Arnold. Aren't you
exaggerating just a little?

Not much.

The Gooch is a lot neater now, too.

He chews right through his leash.

What in the world is a Gooch? He's a
bully in Arnold's class.

I hate bullies. They're always picking
on people and beating them up.

I hate violence.

Every time I see a bully, I want to kill
him.

You know, Arnold, you're just going to
have to stand up to the Gooch again.

No, no, no, no. I do not want him to
fight the Gooch again.

That makes two of us.

I like my face the way it is. On my
head.

It's not easy when you're small like me.
You can't defend yourself.

I know it's right, Daddy.

Well, that's not entirely true.

The things that people learn today for
self -defense are karate and the martial

arts. That might be very good for you,
Arnold. I could arrange it if you'd like

to take some lessons.

They even teach him down at the Senior
Citizen Center.

Any mugger that comes up behind me is
going to wind up singing in a boy's

Hey, Arnold, karate's a great idea.

Yeah, look at Bruce Lee in all those
movies.

He wasn't very big.

And he took on five guys at one time and
went, Well,

there's nothing I like better than the I
give him a

first class ticket to the Twilight Zone.

Here in our school, Mr. Drummond, we
teach Korean Karate.

That means the art of hand and foot.

Too bad you don't teach me how to hit
and run.

Pay attention, Mr. Kim.

I'll show you some basic moves.

First, the front snap kick.

Sky's got bionic toes.

Now, Curtis will show you a basic chop.

You could start with popsicle sticks.

Now, Arnold, imagine that this man is
coming at me in a dark alley. What do I

do? I don't know what you do, but I get
my tail out of that alley.

Now, Arnold, when you're cornered and
must defend yourself, you do this.

whether you're kicking or receiving.

Now, you try it, Arnold.

No way. I'm too small.

You can do it, Arnold.

It's just balance and energy. Here, let
me show you.

Stand with your feet apart.

Balance is here at your hips.

And energy is there.

Ready? Now you chop!

Let me hear your kia.

Now, kia, the yell comes from here, not
from there.

All right. Try.

Not bad.

Left hand out.

Step in with your right foot.

Good.

Now watch your right hand. Let's do it
together for the last time. Okay?

Left hand out.

Stepping in with your right foot and
chop.

You scared me.

I also scared me.

Very good, Arnold.

Very good.

Now, concentrate all your energy there
and on your foot and kick me.

I don't want to kick you. I like you.

All right, let the prices he charges
kick him.

of martial mirth there.

Let's begin.

Place me on it.

Hands to your sides.

Bow.

Okay, here goes.

Mr. Kim helped a little.

That's what I figured.

He's just trying to make me feel good.

Come here, Arnold.

Sit.

Size means nothing.

My people have a saying, the smallest
mouse can bring down the biggest

My people have a saying, too. Show me a
mouse that messes with an elephant and

I'll show you one dumb mouse.

Arnold will be down in a minute. Now
remember, guys, He's only been taking

karate for one week.

So some of the things he's going to show
us will be a little rough.

But let's all encourage him anyway.

Well, I guess I'm ready.

Hey, look at Arnold.

It's Mr.

Karate.

May a dragonfly never find a home in
your underwear.

That is very inscrutable, Arnold.

I didn't know those karate guys...

in their pajamas.

This isn't pajamas.

Karate guys call this a gi.

Well, maybe one day you'll be a black
belt.

Well, I got the black part.

But I'm having some trouble with the
belt.

All right.

What are you going to show us, Arnold?

Show us some of your moves, short but
dangerous.

Well, first of all, you do what is
called kyun -nay.

That's when you bow to your opponent
like this.

That shows you expect them, just before
you kick them in the nose.

Then comes tune B.

That's this.

What does that mean?

That means begin. And if you don't do it
right, it also could mean the end.

You did it just fine, Arnold. Now, what
else have you learned?

Well, I've learned the block chop kick.
If a mugger's coming at me, I'm supposed

to go like this.

What gray? I'm supposed to lay on my
feet, not my butt.

You'll get it, Arnold. We're all very
proud of you, aren't we, guys? Yes, we

sure are. We are.

Well, that's what I learned so far.

That's terrific, Arnold. You can karate
and polish the floor all at the same

time.

You hang in there, Arnold.

I'll be in the den if you need me,
muscles.

I bet you're not afraid of the gooch
anymore, right, Arnold?

Wrong.

playground and took my shoes and buried
him in the dirt.

Well, what did you do?

I thanked him and offered to buy him
lunch.

Arnold, now that you know karate, you
shouldn't let him push you around.

Well, Liz, I'm no good at this karate
stuff. You just saw me. I couldn't

myself against anything tougher than my
rubber duck.

But you just started. You'll get better.

Hey.

I'll tell you what, I'll help you. You
can practice on me.

What? Come on.

I don't know.

Come on, you're better than you think.
Okay, pretend like you're coming down

street, and I'll jump out at you for a
punch. And then you block with one of

those fancy kicks.

Well... Go ahead, go. Come down the
street. Go ahead.

All right.

I'm going to rearrange your face, short
stuff.

Is this your idea of a joke?

I was only doing it to build up Arnold's
confidence. Don't let on.

Good psychology, Willie. Well, the next
time clue me in, you scared me half to

death.

Put me down for the other half.

You sure don't.

You know something, Arnold?

You got a killer foot.

A killer foot?

Hey, Arnold, maybe you ought to register
that foot with the police.

And all this time, I thought my foot was
just for holding up my sock.

I'm glad you're all right, Willis. And,
Arnold, you better keep that killer foot

to yourself from now on. Oh, don't
worry. My foot will...

Arnold, you're the greatest.

Arnold, I don't think you should tell
anybody else about your killer foot.

Why not?

Because you don't want anyone else to
know you've got a secret weapon.

I got it.

Like Tar Tint doesn't go around showing
everybody his big ass.

You said it, bro.

Oh, Gooch, this is Arnold Jackson.

I'm calling you out, Gooch. Our
playground ain't big enough for the two

Saturday morning, 8 o 'clock, at the
playground.

You're gonna...

apps are done like this.

But I do it like this.

Arnold, you know, even if you never lay
a hand on the guy, you can blow out his

eardrum.

Between my yelling and my killer foot,
I'm a pint -sized Godzilla.

Arnold, you didn't tell anybody about
your killer foot, did you?

secret, I have a lethal weapon in my
shoe.

Oh, your friend Louie called. His
number's by the phone. Thank you. You

Willis, since I've been taking karate, I
feel taller.

You look taller.

You know, tomorrow at school, I think
I'll try using the high drinking

without being helped up.

goose they'll be carrying you home from
school.

Me? Killerfoot Jackson?

Well, it's dangling from my ankle are
the toes of death.

Oh, I know what I mean is, uh, well, uh,
well, you don't even know what Dad said

about fighting.

Dad doesn't have to know.

I got all my classmates showing up to
watch me beat him up. They even bring

refreshments. Ah, which reminds me, I
gotta keep up my strength.

My muscles are crying for a ham
sandwich.

Willis, will you drop this letter in the
box for me,

please? Sure, Dad.

Hey.

Are you feeling okay?

No, Dad.

I think I created a monster.

Arnold really thinks he knocked me out.

I know.

This morning he asked me if I could take
out an insurance policy on his foot.

I sure hate to tell him that it's not
true, Dad.

I don't want to hurt his pride.

But if I don't tell him, he's going to
hurt all over.

What does that mean?

Arnold challenged the Gooch to a fight.

What?

After I told him not to go around
looking for fights, where's Arnold now?

In the kitchen feeding his muscles.

understand that you challenge the Gooch
to a fight?

Every time you understand, it means Will
is snitched.

I'm resigning as your brother.

Now, Arnold, karate can be a very
dangerous thing. You could hurt someone

it.

Oh, don't worry, Dad.

Underneath this mass of muscles beats
the heart of a pussycat.

That may be, Arnold, but you are not
going to fight the Gooch.

kick him out of Killer Foot and he'll be
the first man on Mars.

No, he won't, Arnold.

Willis, you're going to have to tell
him.

Tell me what?

Arnold, you don't really have Killer
Foot.

You didn't really knock me out
yesterday.

Oh, come on, Willis. Don't be
embarrassed because your little brother

you. I just happen to be a little...

I hate to tell you this, Arnold, but I
was just faking.

Just to build up your confidence.

That is the truth, Arnold.

You mean I'm not tough?

This is just an ordinary flat foot?

Sorry, Arnold.

purpose in learning karate is not to get
tough.

It's to build up your self -confidence.

It takes time. Sometimes it takes years.

Well, I'm confident.

I'm confident that by tomorrow I'll be
stuffed and mounted over the Gucci's

fireplace.

No, you won't, Arnold.

You're going to call that fight off.

Now, I mean that.

I'm sorry, Arnold, but I just couldn't
let you go down there and get whipped.

You understand?

Yeah, but what's worse than taking a
beating is not showing up.

My friends will think I'm chicken.

No, they won't, Arnold.

I'll be ashamed to be seen in school.

I won't even raise my hand to go to the
bathroom.

I'll have to save it till I get home.

That's ridiculous.

No, Willis, no matter what Dad says, I
have to go down there tomorrow and take

my beating like a man. But, Arnold...
I've got to do it, Willis.

Just for my self -respect. You can
understand that.

Well, there must be a way to keep your
self -respect without losing your front

teeth.

Oh, well, if I gotta do it, just to save
face.

You can... Don't tell Dad.

Can't promise you that.

Well, just remember it was you that got
me into this whole mess.

You're right, Arnold.

I promise I won't tell. But I'm going
down there with you tomorrow.

Thanks.

Well, I guess I better go do some heavy
praying.

Maybe God has a hotline.

Poor Arnold.

I think he was taking it hard last night
about his killer foot.

Yeah. Well, it's very disappointing when
you discover you're not who you think

you are.

after he's had a good night's sleep.

Hey, well, where are the guys anyway? I
haven't seen them this morning.

Me neither.

Daddy, do you suppose... What?

Oh, nothing.

I got a hunch I know what you're
thinking.

Well, I wouldn't deliberately fight
after... I'd better get down to that

yard. Hi, Dad. Hi, Dad. Hi, everybody.

Hi, guys.

Well, this was a great idea you had to
go jog them before breakfast.

You know, Arnold...

We should do this every morning. It's
very healthy. Yeah, it's very good for

red blood corpuscles.

All right, knock it off.

Now, I want the truth.

You went down to fight the Gooch, didn't
you?

Well, yes and no.

Truth's in there somewhere, Mr.
Drummond.

Well, we're going to get at it.

Would you two guys like to explain that
yes and no?

Well, yes, we went down there, but no,
there wasn't any fight.

Well, what, did you talk the Gooch out
of it?

No, the Gooch didn't show up. Lucky for
me, he must have heard about my killer

foot and got scared.

Arnold, you don't have a killer foot.

I know that, and you know that, but the
Gooch doesn't. Man, I dig being a little

kid with a big reputation.

Well, the little kid with the big
reputation has disobeyed his father.

Dad, I guess we're in trouble, huh?

Well, it took a lot of guts for you to
go down there and face the Gooch.

So I forgive you.

You're the greatest, Dad.

Well, one of them.

I gotta go call some of the guys.

Well, Dad, the only reason why I let
Arnold go down there is because I knew

Gooch wasn't gonna show up.

How did you know that?

He found out about Arnold's killer foot.

Well, how did he find out?

Oh, you know, Arnold's karate teacher,
Mr. Kim, showed the Gooch what Arnold

learned.

That's strange.

How did the Gooch happen to go to Mr.
Kim?

Oh, uh, one of Arnold's friends took
him.

Friends?

A close friend.

Close enough to be a brother.

You could say that.

You're terrific, Willis. You can say
that, too.

Yes,

Arnold? Can I have an advance on my
allowance? I'm going to need some extra

money. What for?

All the kids want autographed pictures
of my foot.

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.
