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.

Stand along, come to, 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? You'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.

Oh, come on, Arnold. That's no word.
What's A -D -D -A?

mean? Use that in a sentence.

Get out of here.

Arnold, try spelling this.

Hello. Hi, Wallace.

Hey, where you been? Playing basketball?

No, Arnold. This is the orange with the
gland condition.

Hey, Wallace, there's a telephone call
for you. Who from?

Some guy named Lenny. He said that the
tarantulas are coming over here to see

you. They are?

Oh, man. I hope they tell me I'm in.

Who are the tarantulas?

Only the coolest club around here.

No, Tarantula, he's just a lowly creep.

Don't worry, Wallace. I like you as a
lowly creep.

There's something I gotta do before they
get here.

Oh, man, I hope they see I'm in.

Oh, he's really excited about it. Yeah,
I felt the same way when I got accepted

into my exclusive club, the Superdude.

Arnold, you were the only member of that
club.

Shows you how exclusive it was.

I'd break down anything to get to you,
Foxy.

What do you think you're doing? Oh, if
you don't know, I must be doing it

Keep your greasy meat hooks off my
system.

Or you're asking for a fat kneecap.

Cool it, you little munchkin.

Or I'll have to take you home and use
you for a paperweight.

Hiya, Kimberly.

Jimmy, what are you doing with these
guys?

Oh, that's just how us tarantulas fool
around.

is Lenny and Mike. The guys is as well
as his sister and his little brother

Arnold. Lenny's the chief of the
Tarantulas.

Yeah, you can say he's the big sting.

Sting? Do you end that with a G or a K?

Didn't I see you the other day carrying
two new radio tires?

So? I found them.

Yeah, before somebody lost them.

Hey, Kimberly, got a match?

Jimmy, aren't you a little young to be
smoking cigarettes?

Well, I'd smoke a candy bar, but they're
kind of hard to light.

Jimmy,

don't you notice smoking can kill you?

It can.

You guys are about as funny as the
electric chair.

we got some bad news. Yeah, look, Big W,
the bad news is you're gonna have to

come up with 30 bucks.

The good news is you need the bread to
buy a tarantula jacket.

All right, all right, all right.

Did you hear that?

I'm a tarantula. Isn't that great news?

It's right up there with the bubonic
plague.

He doesn't know what it means to be a
tarantula. It means he better call the

exterminator.

Arnold, why don't you go take a swim in
your fishbowl?

Say, Willis, man, you are one lucky
dude.

You joined up just in time for D -Day.

What's D -Day?

Well, I can't tell you until the day I
decide we're going to do it. It's my own

idea. Yeah, even we don't know what it
is. But you're really going to dig it,

will you? I am. What are you going to
do?

Go to a pet store and rough up the
puppies?

No, they'll probably find some old lady
and force her to cross the street.

Don't pay any attention to them, Lenny.

Hey, thanks, man. I'm a tarantula. Don't
mention it, Will. See you tomorrow. See

you. Later.

Much later.

Man, Bubba.

Man, how about that? I'm a tarantula.
Look, I am really surprised at you.

aren't the kind of guys you usually pal
around with.

What do you mean?

She means they look like the Alcatraz
Glee Club.

Bunch of jerks.

Boy, that really makes me mad.

Well, what's the matter?

I thought I was gonna get attacked
coming out of the elevator right now.

Did Mrs. Harris from the third floor
make a pass at you again?

Three teenage punks.

Smoking, being loud, pushy, and rude.

Well, did they hurt you?

They sure did. They called me Gramps.

I wonder how those jerks got into this
building.

Uh, Dad, uh, those were just my friends.

Your friends?

Yeah, the Tarantulas. They were just
fooling around.

Yeah, you know, playing pranks.

Like throwing you out of a moving car.

They're one of the clubs in the
neighborhood, and they voted me in. It's

honor. Oh, it is, huh?

Well, I'm just voting you out.

Say what?

Willis, I don't want you hanging around
with kids like that.

That's not a club. That's a gang.

Sure is. But, Dad, you don't understand.

They may look tough, but it's just an
act.

I'm sorry, Willis, but those boys are
trouble if I ever saw it.

And from now on, I want you to stay away
from them. Now, that's an order.

Talk about unreasonable.

Kimberly, have you ever seen anybody so
unreasonable?

I think Daddy's right.

Who asked you?

Man.

If I turn them down after they voted me
in, the tarantulas will all call me a

turkey. Oh, don't worry about what the
tarantulas think, Willis. I know a lot

other people who think you're a turkey.

That's my move, Abraham.

Now here's your move.

not cheating.

Isn't Willis home yet, Arnold? I need to
borrow his gym bag for my ballet class.

Oh, what's the matter with you?

Well, it's too new. For ballet class,
you've got to look funky.

Oh, why don't you go looking like you do
when you get up in the morning?

You can out -funk Grizzly Adams.

Thanks, Arnold. I'll just ask Willis
later. Oh, just kidding, just kidding.

Maybe it's in the closet with a poster
of that favorite team of his, the Dallas

Cowgirls. Just let me know if you find
it.

Oh, dear. Let's see.

Let's see. Gym bag. Gym bag.

Did she know about my jacket?

No, just me.

Thought you'd ever touch my stuff again.

Well, you joined that club after Dad
said not to. So?

So why do you want to hang around with
crummy guys like that for?

Your brain must be having a meltdown.

None of your business.

It is to my business, because if Dad
finds out, he may ground you for the

of your life, which means you won't have
any dates, which means you'll never get

married, which means I'll never have
this room to myself.

none of my business.

Well, Dad's not going to find out.

I'm sure not going to tell him. And I
know you won't think on your own,

Right?

Miss, I hear you talking.

Come on, Arnold.

Listen, little brother.

Dad's got it all wrong about the
Tarantulas.

They're not bad guys.

They even leave me 30 bucks to buy this
jacket. Then he must have sold those

radial tires.

See, Arnold, you got the same wrong
impression as Dad does.

You gotta remember, Dad's from a
different world than us. We're from the

streets. He comes from a world of rich
people. We got everything, like

limousines, servants, monogrammed
towels. We had monogrammed towels back

Harlem. No, we didn't, Arnold.

Sure we did.

They said property of the Lenox Hotel.

Well, anyway, Arnold, Dad doesn't think
like us.

See, he thinks if you got a suit and tie
on and your hair combed, you're cool.

You know what a guy dressed like that
means to us?

Yeah, he's dead and laying in his
coffin.

No. I mean, Dad thinks dressing like a
tarantula doesn't horse him around a

little bit makes him a gang. Get it? I
think so, Willis. You mean Dad doesn't

understand about street people who've
had it rough.

Right.

His idea of rough is using cheap gas in
a limousine.

So if I join a tarantulas, he's really
not doing anything wrong.

You dig?

I guess you're right, Willis.

Trust me, Arnold, I'd never steal you
wrong.

And since Dad doesn't understand about
me joining the tarantulas, let's not say

anything. And, hey, maybe I'll get them
to let you join someday, too. Me a

tarantula? Oh, man, I can't wait to put
on that red jacket and start

tarantuling.

All right, Arnold.

Hey, how about a couple of peanut butter
sandwiches?

Hey, great idea. Let's make a couple for
you, too.

I'll tell you what. You put this jacket
away for me, and I'll go make them. All

right. I'll be right back.

Look at that jacket.

It's as news as handsome does.

Don't nobody touch me.

I'm red hot ready to go.

Arnold, have you seen my... Hi.

Where did that jacket come from?

What jacket?

He joined that gang.

That's Willis' jacket, isn't it?

Willis who?

past mad. I'm up to furious.

Let me have that. Well, see, Dad, you
don't understand about street people.

See, you come from a world where you use
cheap gas in your limousine.

Just because you like people dressed for
a coffin doesn't mean that they can't

have monogrammed towels.

Arnold, if you're trying to confuse me,
it worked.

Now, give me that jacket.

Yes, sir.

But if you say anything to Willis,
he'll... think I squealed. I'm sorry,

your brother is going to be punished.

But can't you punish him without saying
why?

How would I do that?

Write him a note grounding him and
signing it anonymous?

I'll send all my gin back and give it to
you later, Kimberly. Thanks, sir.

Willis? Huh? I'd like to talk to you.
Sure, Dad.

Tell me, how did the tarantulas take it
when you told them you wouldn't join?

Oh, how did they take it, Dad?

Hard, Dad.

Real hard.

I see.

And tell me when you told him.

Hi,

Dad. Hi, Willis. Hi, Kimberly.

Willis, you lied to me.

I should have known a nerd like you
would blab.

I'm not the nerd. Dad is.

I mean, I didn't blab.

He caught me wearing the jacket.

Don't take it out on Arnold because you
disobeyed me.

But, Dad, you don't understand.

Yes, I do.

I want you to take this jacket back and
quit that gang.

I can't do that, Dad. I already promised
I'd be one of them. Well, you're pretty

good at breaking promises.

You got you there, Willis.

And for disobeying me, except for going
to school, you will not go out of this

house for a week. A week? You want to
try for a month? Oh, come on, Jim. How

about a year?

Well, you're behind, Willis.

I am very disappointed in you, Willis.

I'm glad you're not going to be one of
them. Those guys are nowhere.

I'm sorry, but it really wasn't my
fault, big brother.

Arnold, from now on, you don't have a
big brother.

I'm erasing you from my mind forever,
you squealer.

Squealer?

Hi, Willis.

What you reading?

Can I get you anything?

Did you know your pants are on fire?

Come on, Willis. Won't you please talk
to me? You haven't said a word all day.

That's weird.

I keep hearing this annoying little
voice.

Abraham, have you learned to talk?

Okay, Willis, don't talk to me. I can
have a better conversation with myself.

Hi, Willis. How are you?

Fine, Arnold. You're looking extremely
cool today.

Give me five.

to be your brother. And now back to
Arnold.

Shut up, Arnold.

Oh, thanks for talking to me, Willis.
Because of you, all the tarantulas came

down today and made fun of me.

What a shame to be seen.

Man. Well, I'm sorry, but I wish there
was something I could do to make you

better. Oh, you can.

What? Anything. Tell me. What?

Make like it being buzz off.

to a man in prison.

Hello.

I'm Mr. Clark, Jimmy's father.

Is Willis home? I've got to talk to him.

Willis? Yes.

He and Jimmy both belong to the
Tarantulas, and I'm afraid there's going

trouble. Trouble?

Yeah. Is Willis home?

Uh, no.

Um, see, he isn't here.

He's away at summer camp.

In April?

Well, it takes him a while to set up his
tent.

Please, young man, it's urgent that I
speak to Willis. Please. I have to speak

to him. I'm Willis.

What's going on? My goodness.

Willis, I'm Jimmy Clark's father.

Now, I heard him say that you were in
the tarantulas, and none of his other

friends are home.

Well, what's the problem?

Well, what is this D -Day the tarantulas
have got planned?

D -Day?

What's that?

Uh, Willis, when the tarantulas are
here, don't you... Get up, Arnold.

Uh, wait now.

Willis, please.

A friend of mine on the police force
tipped me off that they're expecting

trouble from the tarantulas, and I found
a receipt in Jimmy's room.

For two dozen cans of spray paint.

Well, uh, maybe he was gonna paint his
bike.

Sure. On a Brooklyn bridge.

I'll see you out of this. Uh, look.

I know what gangs do with spray paint.

Willis, are you sure you don't know
anything about this D -Day?

I'm sorry I can't help you, Mr. Clark.

All right.

I just hope I can find them before it's
too late.

What'd you do, sprain your brain?

How come you didn't tell him about D
-Day?

Because I'm not a squealer.

Well, Willis, if the police are
involved, I'm sure the tarantulas aren't

throwing a pajama party.

So what? They're still my friends.

Boss, where are you going?

You're not going to join them again, are
you?

It's none of your business.

You can't go out. You're grounded.

Arnold, you just keep your mouth shut,
and I'll be back before Daddy gets home.

He better be.

Dad comes home and you're not here. He's
going to take all your breathing

privileges.

Oh, hi, Arnold.

Ballet class was just terrific today.
Well, I better get Willis Packers back.

No, wait. Wait. Don't go off there.

What now?

He's taking a bath.

In the afternoon, how come?

He got a new rubber duck and he wanted
to try...

Arnold, it's me.

Me who?

Willis. Oh, hi, Willis.

Willis, since when do we have a phone in
the bathtub?

Arnold, listen very carefully because I
only get one phone call. Why?

Are you in jail?

Yes, Arnold, I'm in jail.

What are you talking about, Willis?

Arnold, I really am.

Ma 'am, what are you doing in jail?

Willis, it's in jail. Willis, this is
Kimberly. What's happened? I've been

arrested.

Oh, Willis.

Well, what happened?

The police caught Willis with a
tarantulas.

Oh, man.

Dad better not find out because if the
cops don't fry Willis, Dad will.

You guys stop worrying.

We're going to beat this rap.

We're kids.

What can they do to us, huh?

Maybe a couple of months in juvenile
hall.

Who cares?

I care.

Man, is my dad gonna come down on me.

My dad is gonna kill me.

My dad's gonna come down on me, and he's
gonna kill me, and then he's really

gonna get tough.

They're just trying to throw a scare
into us. They can't put us in jail.

Lenny, what do you call this?

A Christian science reading room?

All right, you kids.

I want you to give me the names of the
rest of your gang that got away.

Now, if you cooperate, I'll reduce the
charge.

Oh, so that's the way it's going to be,
huh?

Well, you can just sit in here till
it's... You!

You!

Look at me when I talk to you.

Don't I know you?

Who, me?

Oh, no. You must have got me mixed up
with somebody else.

I'm sure I've seen you before.

Well, a lot of people say I look like
Billy Dee Williams.

This kid is your brother, and that's
your sister.

How's old chubby cheeks, huh?

Remember me?

Sergeant Morrison?

You and your brother helped me catch
your mug at that time.

How could I forget? You pinched my
cheeks so hard, you dented my face.

One more time.

Oh, here it comes.

Police brutality.

Them cheeks.

Let my brother go over the wall. He can
pinch him all you want.

Willis, how did you get mixed up with
this bunch? And why won't you cooperate?

Because I'm no squealer.

Oh, Sergeant Orson, please let my
brother go.

I brought bail money.

$4 .58.

And if that's not enough, I'll sign an
IOU up to $3.

Well, Arnold, it's more complex. than
that.

Willis and these kids got caught spray
-painting words all over the school

walls. That couldn't be Willis. He can
hardly spell.

Let him out.

Never mind. I'll be safer in this cell.

Hello, Sergeant Morrison.

Uh, Mr. Drummond.

You squealed on me again, huh, Arnold?

No, I didn't, Willis.

I found Daddy and left a message with
his office.

What she did was right. She was worried
about you.

Willis, never in my worst nightmare did
I dream I'd come here to visit you.

I just can't believe this.

Graffiti all over the school wall.

Trashing the principal's office.

I offered to reduce the charge if they
gave me the names of the rest of the

gang. Oh, you want us to cop a plea?

No way.

Nobody saying nothing about nobody.

Willis, you're in enough trouble
already. You better tell the sergeant

wants to know.

I can't, Dad.

I'll tell you.

You shut up, Jimmy.

No, Lenny. I better do some talking. For
all our sakes.

Rattle!

Spill your guts, jailbird!

You butt -out, you little squirt!

Come on out, kid.

We can talk about this in another room.

Mr. Drummond, Willis didn't have
anything to do with this.

What do you mean?

He just came down to the school to try
to stop us.

But we wouldn't listen to him.

Is that the truth, Willis?

Yeah. Ah, good for you, Willis. Hey, let
him out of there!

Come on, Willis.

Willis, why didn't you tell that to
Sergeant Morrison?

Because copping out is just as bad as
squealing.

Willis, the jails are full of guys who
wouldn't squeal.

Well, I guess we'll be going, Sergeant.

Jimmy, I want to thank you for being so
honest and courageous.

Yeah.

Thanks, Jimmy man.

It's okay.

But I wish you had squealed on me.

It'd have saved my neck.

Who's bad?

to do it again, I'll squeal on you right
away.

Listen, Willis, stopping somebody from
getting into trouble is not squealing.

That's doing them a favor.

That code of honor among thieves is just
a bunch of bunk.

I'm sorry I didn't listen to you, Dad.

And I'm sorry I gave you such a rough
time, Arnold.

Man, it sure feels good to be out of
that cell.

I'm real proud of you, Willis.

My brother, the ex -common.

Thank you.

Thank you.
