Don't move, you don't need just one drum. What might be right for you, may

be right for some.

A man is born, he's a man of needs.

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

to shine.

It don't matter that you got my life.

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

And together we'll be fine.

It takes different strokes to move the world. It's in the case.

Different strokes to move the world.

Good to see you. You look terrific.

Thank you. So do you. You're looking great.

I didn't think you'd remember me.

You're right. I don't.

I'm Jack Darcy.

The landlord of Willis and Arnold's old building in Harlem, remember?

Now I remember.

Come in, Mr. Darcy. What can I do for you? I got something important out here

for you.

Mr. Drummond, don't worry about my back.

I'm no stranger to pain.

May I ask what this is?

It belonged to your old housekeeper, Lucy, and her two boys. Want to see the

Jacksons, apartment 12?

Oh, excuse me. Let me get them for you.

Willis! Arnold!

Would you come in here, please?

Yeah, Dad.

Someone here to see you boys.

Hey, it's Mr. Darcy. Remember him, Arnold?

I'm a bachelor landlord.

I can't get over how you boys have grown.

Willis, you're practically a man now.

Practically? I'm already starting to shave.

And before you know it, he'll be using a blade.

So what brings you to this neck of the woods, Mr. Darcy?

Oh, our old building is being torn down.

And I know you boys moved up here.

So you're going to move in with us?

No, no, I found this when I was cleaning out the basement. It belongs to you

boys. Thank you. It was really very thoughtful of you to bring this over for

them. I know how important something like this can be.

It's a piece of the past.

A heavy piece.

You make a very heavy point.

Would you please take a little something for your trouble?

Oh, no.

No, I certainly didn't do this with a tip in mind.

But I wouldn't insult you by refusing.

Well, good to see you again, boys. Goodbye, Mr. Darcy. Thank you, Mr.

Exciting. This is like finding an old pressure chest.

What do you suppose is in it, fellas?

Look, let's move it into the room. Would you give me a hand, Willis? Sure, Dad.

That's going to be kind of heavy. I'll help you, too. Yeah, me too, Daddy.

I'll supervise.

Willis and I will take the handles, and would you two help us underneath?

Okay. Okay, lift what I say three.

One, two, three.

It's not heavy at all.

That's light as a feather.

Looks like Mr.

Darcy's ducky 420, Dad.

Well, it was still nice of him to bring the trunk over, said Drummond

unconvincingly.

Let's put it over here. All right.

Now, lift it over to the table. Now, be careful. I can't wait to see what's in

it. All right.

Well, let's open it. Come on. I can't stand this. It's bad. Okay.

Hmm.

There's hardly anything in it.

Hey, look at this.

Remember when you played with dolls, Donald?

Coochie -coo on you.

Willis, how would you like that doll? wrapped around your gums.

Well, as lots of little boys play with dolls, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Yeah, I think she's cute.

Oh, look, there's a label on her. My name is Wendy Weddams. I belong to

huh?

Willis!

What do you do, Willie Pooh?

For what? There's nothing to be ashamed of.

I mean, a lot of little boys play with dolls.

in there. Hey, I wonder what's on it. Let me ask you that.

Arnold's fifth birthday.

Hey, how about that?

Why don't I get my tape recorder? We'll listen to it. Okay, Dad. Hey, I remember

my fifth birthday. Mama gave me my first bicycle with training wheels.

And you gave me four sticks of bubble gum.

Some of it hadn't even been chewed yet.

Hey, look at this. Looks like a stickball bat.

Right. How'd you know that?

Oh, I used to play this when I was a kid.

I was a tomboy in those days.

I wasn't always the curvaceous creature you see before you.

Hey, I forgot about this.

Arnold, you played football when you were only five.

No, this is for Halloween. This is the top of my skunk costume.

A skunk in a football helmet.

We had a tough neighborhood. It was every skunk for himself.

Let's give it a listen. All right. Arnold's fifth birthday.

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, dear Arnold.

Happy birthday to you. All right.

Arnold,

you haven't changed.

Here's something cool and clever.

Wait, I want to hear Mama again.

Don't do that.

Oh, no.

Nice going on. You broke it. Here, let me see if I can fix that.

No, it's all tangled up inside, but I don't think it's broken.

Give it to me, Dad. I'll see if I can get it fixed tomorrow on the way to

school. No, you won't. It's my birthday tape, and I'll get it fixed.

It's too important to trust you, a guy who plays with dolls.

How about that, Arnold?

They're tearing down our old building in Harlem.

Yeah. Haven't thought about that place in years. We were born there.

Yeah. What memories it brings back.

Yeah.

Can't you say anything else besides yeah?

Sure.

our whole apartment, Arnold?

I was just thinking about it.

We never could get Mr. Darcy to fix the water pressure. We never had enough.

Yeah, he had your choice of doing the dishes, taking a shower, or flushing the

toilet.

That's right, but Mama beat that problem.

She took the dishes into the shower with her.

Man, Willis, we could almost fit that whole apartment in this one room right

here. Yeah, it was small, all right.

But Mama used to call it cozy.

And even if it wasn't fancy, Mama sure made it look nice.

Who'd have ever thought that two poor kids from Harlem would wind up Park

tycoons?

Yeah. We got it made, all right.

Yeah. We got it made.

Are you okay, Arnold?

Yeah, I guess so.

Yeah, I know what's got you.

Hear Mama's voice again.

Yeah, Firthy shook me up too.

But you know something?

We really did find a treasure in that chest.

I forgot what Mama sounded like, did you?

Yeah.

It's just so hard to believe it's been five years since she died.

Hey, but don't worry about it.

We'll get that tape fixed and we'll be able to hear Mama's voice anytime we

want.

How do I spell it, or how is it really spelled?

Never mind, I'll ask the dictionary.

Hi. Hi, Arnold.

Hey, wait a minute, Arnold. Did you get that tape fixed? Tape? Oh, right, yeah,

the tape. Got it right here.

Uh -oh.

Lost the tape?

You're kidding. You lost the tape? Who lost the tape? Arnold lost the tape. You

lost the tape?

Hi.

Okay, so I lost the tape.

You lost the tape?

Why don't we put it in skywriting?

Arnold lost the tape.

Gee, honey, I'm sorry. That's a shame.

Arnold, where do you think you lost it? I don't know.

Well, come on, sit down. We're going to figure this out.

Now,

Did you lose it before or after you had it fixed?

After. Good.

Then did you come straight home?

No, I guess I made a couple of stops.

Okay. Now think real hard.

I want you to retrace your steps.

Try to remember exactly which way you went when you came out of that repair

shop.

Okay.

I'm walking down Fifth Avenue.

Good, good, good.

What do you see?

A naked lady.

A naked lady? Not a real one, hot breath.

One of those mannequins in the window of Stack.

Where did you go next, Arnold?

I stopped at the candy store.

The candy store? Now, what have I told you about that?

Don't worry, Dad. I didn't buy anything.

I just ran my fingers through the jelly beans for old time's sake.

I don't think we're getting anywhere here, Daddy.

Well, let's face it. That tape's gone forever.

We'll never get to hear Mama's voice again.

No, no, no, don't be too sure. Look, I'll put an ad in the paper. I'll offer

nice reward.

Maybe somebody will find the tape and bring it back to us.

Oh, look, Dad, I'm going to go out for a while. So I'll look around the building

and see if I can find the tape. Good idea. See you guys later.

Bye. Bye -bye.

Come on, cheer up, Arnold. Look, I'll bet you a movie and a jumbo popcorn that

we get that tape back.

If you really cared, you'd give me that jumbo popcorn now.

Well, I'm afraid you've sold your soul to Orville Redenbacher.

I'm sorry, Arnold. I know how you feel.

Nobody knows how I feel.

Hey, Arnold, I do know how you feel. My mother died, too.

I know how terrible I'd feel if I lost something she left for me.

Especially something that could never be replaced.

Well, I'd feel like locking myself in my room forever and never coming out. Not

even to eat.

That's exactly how I feel.

Except for the eating part.

Thank you.

I never want to hear Mama's voice again.

After we won our lawsuit, they structured the settlement to pay us over

years. Then I got laid off from my job.

They were going to foreclose on our house, we owed tuition payments, and

were going to repossess my truck.

We started calling companies that claimed they'd give us a lump sum, but

charged a fortune, and we felt like we were just a number.

Then we heard about the folks that structured settlement investments.

They listened to our story, understood our problem. They made it easy to get

cash we needed fast.

They even got us a cash advance before they approved us for a lump sum. If

you're receiving payments from a personal injury settlement, a lottery,

Thanks, Dr. Einstein. You've been a great help.

Mr. Drummond, may I have a word with you in private? Sure, Pearl. Go ahead.

Willis, I believe Pearl said in private.

Daddy, we are a family.

We don't have any secrets from each other. Right, Willis? Right. You tell us

your secrets, Pearl, I'll tell you Kimberly's.

Well, I suppose this does involve all of you.

Look what I found.

The tape!

Wow, that's wonderful!

Not so wonderful.

Why? Where did you find that?

In Arnold's drawer.

In his drawer?

That doesn't make any sense.

I sure don't understand any of this.

But mine is not to reason why. Mine is but to wash and dry.

Hi, Arnold.

Hi. Hi there, Arnold.

Well, I took one more try trying to find that tape, and I looked everywhere but

no luck, so I guess that's it.

How about I know one place that you haven't looked?

Where? Have you looked upstairs in your drawer?

What you talking about, Dad?

Pearl found the tape.

Why did you tell us that you'd lost this?

If you don't mind, Dad, I'd rather not talk about it.

I mind very much.

So I hid the tape and lied about it. I'm an awful rotten person, all right?

What was that all about?

I don't know, but I think it must have something to do with the fact that you

heard his mother's voice.

Yeah, I think that got to him.

Why don't I go upstairs, Dad, and have a little talk with him?

Why don't you do that, son?

Okay, Dad.

Man, Abraham, you're lucky.

You don't have feelings.

I mean those heavy parent attachments.

Your mother lays an egg, swims away in that pit.

The biggest shakeup in your life was when I put you in a Dixie cup and

your water.

Hey, bruh.

Well, listen, if you came here to talk about the tape, forget it. I don't need

you making me feel worse.

Arnold, whatever's bothering you is not going to go away by ignoring it. I'm not

ignoring it. I'm ignoring you.

Come on, man. I'm your brother.

We've always shared our troubles.

I don't always tell you when something's bugging me.

That's because what's bugging you is usually me.

Hey, come on. You can tell me why you lied about the tape. I'll understand.

Well, I didn't know why I did it.

Haven't you ever done anything dumb and didn't know exactly why?

No. See, you don't understand.

Come on, Earl, I'm trying.

No, she was my mother, too.

Well, I really miss Mama.

Yeah, I know.

So do I.

I forgot how much I missed her until I heard her voice again. It was like she

was right there and I could just reach out and throw my arms around her and hug

her real hard.

Arnold, that's why it was so great to have that tape.

Hey, how come you didn't get it fixed?

Well, I guess it sort of reminded me of how things used to be when Mama was

alive. It was always so hard for her to make ends meet.

Yeah.

And I got to thinking about how things are now.

No money problems. We've got a great place to live. We're always happy. It's

terrible.

Because now we've got everything that Mama never had for herself.

She worked so hard until she died.

And how do I pay her back? By having a terrific life.

Yeah, Bono, that's what Mama would have wanted for us.

That's why she asked Dad to take care of us.

He's right, Arnold.

Your mother would be very happy to know that we're all together and that you

have a good home.

She always wanted the best for you.

She was a wonderful woman.

That's another thing.

I've never told her that.

I didn't go to the funeral.

I've never even been to the cemetery.

That wasn't your fault, Arnold. I thought you were too young.

Well, I should have gone anyway.

You got to say goodbye to her, Willis, but I never did.

Well, maybe it's time for you to do that, son.

Well, here we are.

Yeah, here we are.

Arnold, maybe it'd be a little more comfortable for you if I just left you

for a couple minutes.

Alone? What do I say to Mama?

Well, just tell her whatever comes to mind.

Whatever's in your heart.

You go first.

Me?

Yeah, you knew Mama, too.

Oh, right.

Hello,

Miss Jackson.

Lucy.

I brought Arnold up here to see you.

I'm very happy to be able to tell you that he's growing up to be a fine young

man.

I kept my promise to you, Lucy, to see that Willis and Arnold would be taken

care of.

In fact, I adopted both of them, and I'm very proud to have them as my sons,

too.

Tell her about my report card.

Right.

Lucy, I'm happy to be able to tell you that Arnold's doing very well in school.

As a matter of fact, so is Willis.

They're both very fine students.

Tell her I beat up a bully twice my size and his loose tooth stuck in my

knuckle.

Right.

Lucy, see, Arnold beat up on... Arnold, I can't tell her that.

You'll have to decide what you want to tell her. I'll wait up here for you.

But, Dad... Hi,

Mama.

I brought these flowers for you.

I remembered you like daffodils, but they didn't have any.

But these are pretty too.

Mama, I'm really sorry for hiding the tape.

I guess I was afraid to start thinking about you again.

But I'm glad I did.

Because I was starting to forget about you.

I'm really grateful for all the things that you gave me.

I hope they're treating you good up there.

They're better if they know what's good for them.

Well, I guess I have to go now.

I feel a lot better.

You're a good listener.

Listen, I'll come back real soon, and next time I'm going to bring you some

daffodils.

I miss you a lot, Mama.

And I love you.

Are you ready, son?

Yeah, Dad.

Goodbye, Mama.

Oh, it's going.

It's going?

It's almost gone.

Is there a problem?

I'll level with you, Miss Chung.

Everything's going wrong.

in charge of dirty tricks, can't think of any.

I wish I could help. You can.

Tell the kids to vote for me or you'll flunk them.

That could be our first study trick.

I'm afraid that wouldn't be possible, boys.

But I'll give you a little tip.

Sometimes a candidate can turn the tide by having a debate with his opponent.

You mean a debate can turn a loser into a winner?

Oh, yes. Many a loser has been elected president.

Give it some thought, Arnold.

Thanks, Miss Chung.

Okay.

You hear that, guys?

A debate. What do you think?

I think you should concede now and avoid the embarrassment.
