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 and you'll

have yours and I'll have mine.

And together we'll be fine. It takes different strokes to move the world. It

takes different strokes to move the world.

Hey, here's something interesting, Arnold.

What's that?

It says in my biology book that the average human brain weighs three pounds.

would be average.

You believe this?

It is 10 o 'clock and your sister's not home yet.

What's the big deal, Dad? She's just a few minutes late.

Yeah, she's probably downstairs in a taxi slobbering all over her date.

That's not funny, Arnold.

I don't like her seeing that guy, David. What's wrong with him?

He's too old for her and he's too arrogant and cocky for me.

Mr. Drummond, do you need anything before I turn in? No, thank you, Pearl.

all be turning in pretty soon.

Yeah, we're just going to spend a few more minutes ripping Jimmerly's date to

shreds behind his back.

Is she out with David again?

Yes.

There's something about that boy I don't like, and I think I've narrowed it down

to what it is.

Everything.

I know just how Kimberly feels. When I was a young girl, I had exactly the same

problem. Really? An obnoxious boyfriend?

No, an impossible father.

Oh, no offense.

I just don't think David is the kind of boy that Kimberly ought to be seeing.

You know, he's a college dropout.

Oh, no, a college dropout? You mean they let him still run loose on the streets?

Willis, go to your room.

Yeah, when Dad wants your opinion, he'll give you one.

Good night, boys. Good night, Dad.

I don't mean to butt in, Mr. Drummond. But you will.

Of course.

I really don't think that you should worry about it. You know how teenagers

One week they like one fellow, the next they like a different one.

I sure hope you're right.

I don't think there's anything to worry about with Kimberly and that David.

Good night, David.

Good night, Kimberly.

Good night, David.

Good night, Kimberly.

Good night,

David. Oh, this isn't working. I think we should try a different approach.

It won't work. We've tried them all. I just hate to leave you. I hate to leave

you, too.

Then why do we torture ourselves?

I love you. You love me. We should be living together.

Oh, David, we've talked about this a hundred times.

What are you trying to do, wear me down?

You bet.

Come on, what's the difference, Kimberly? We're going to be married one

anyhow. Shh, not so loud. My father doesn't even know we date this much. He

thinks I see a lot of guys. He'd never let me move in with you.

I've got an idea. And your father wouldn't even have to know. What do you

I mean just tell him you're moving in with my sister, Michelle.

What could be simpler?

David, he wouldn't even let me move in with her. I'm still in high school,

remember?

Besides, much as I'm tempted, I wouldn't feel right lying to my father. So could

we please just drop the ticket?

Consider it dropped.

Period. Finito.

End of discussion.

Thank you.

Did I mention I do the laundry?

I just want to be with you all the time.

Well, you can have another ten minutes. Come on in. No.

Well, your father's probably up, and in case you haven't noticed, the man is not

my biggest fan.

I mean, I'm about as welcome as a case of swine flu.

Hello, David. So nice to see you.

Come on, Daddy's not that bad. Come on in.

Besides, the only way he's going to get to like you is if he knows you better.

Okay. I'll give it another shot.

That's the spirit. But remember, no nuzzling or holding hands. Try to

yourself. I'll try.

But your dad is so cute.

Well, it looks like your dad's not even here. Oh, yes, he is.

Oh, Daddy, um, you remember David.

Hello, David. So nice to see you.

Well, here we all are.

Daddy, can I get you something?

A couple of aspirins. I suddenly have a headache.

Sure, right away. David, sit. Talk to Daddy. He's in pain.

Oh, I know that feeling.

So?

So, how's business, Mr. Drummond?

Can't complain.

How are things in the world of computer software?

I hear that a lot of little companies like yours have been going bankrupt

lately.

Well, not mine. Things have never been better.

Oh, really? Yeah.

Sales are up. I'm expanding.

Expanding? Mm -hmm. What did you do? Buy a stapler?

Well, we all have to start somewhere, Mr. Drummond.

We can't all inherit it like you did.

It happens that I have always worked very hard for my money. I know.

In fact, I read a very impressive article about you.

Oh, really?

Yeah, a real rags -to -riches story.

It said you started out a poor millionaire and you ended up a rich one.

That's true, but it's not as easy as it sounds. Now, if you want some good

business advice... Thanks, but if I make any mistakes, I'd like them to be my

own.

You know, you're like a lot of the kids today. You think you know it all.

Instead of staying in college and getting a good education, you were in

hurry to make it big overnight that you dropped out, right?

No.

My parents were going into hock to send me through school.

I started working nights to get my business going, and it suddenly started

great.

Is there anything wrong with being a self -made man?

Where are those aspirin?

Here you go, Daddy.

Well, I think I should be going.

Kimberly, I'll speak to you soon.

Good night, Mr. Drummond. Good night, David.

So, did you and David have a nice little talk?

Well, I'll tell you.

When I first met David, I didn't like him very much.

But now that I've gotten to know him, I can't stand him.

You want to put Omar back on the street? This ain't him. That means someone else

is walking on y 'all.

it's very nice to respect your parents' wishes, but If there's one thing I've

learned, it's that you've got to live your own life.

Michelle, I just cannot move in with David. My father would disown me right

after he killed me.

I just don't understand this.

You're always complaining that you don't have any privacy around here and that

you're tired of being cross -examined by your father.

Michelle, it would be dishonest to try and fool Daddy.

Well, you're being dishonest now, sneaking around with David and making

father think you're dating other guys.

You've got a point there.

Just move in with him for a while. Long enough to find out if that's what you

really want.

Trust me.

The plan is going to work, and you will be my roommate before you know it.

Roommate? You moving out, Kimberly?

Hello, Arnold.

Hi. We were just saying how nice it would be if your dad would let Kimberly

in with me.

Nice? It would be heaven.

I would get Kimberly's room and I wouldn't have to watch Willis flex his

muscles in the mirror.

Well, let's just hope we can convince Daddy.

You'll convince him, all right. That you're moving out so you can see more of

David.

Gee, I never thought of that.

I have the advantage of an uncluttered mind.

Seeing David has got nothing to do with it, Arnold. I need a little privacy at

this point in my life.

And maybe you could be helpful, Arnold.

I'll do anything to get Kimberly out of the house.

Well, Kimberly does date other guys, Arnold.

When your father gets home, maybe you could go up to your room and phone down

here. You know, like you were one of the guys asking Kimberly for a date. That's

a great idea. Would you do that, Arnold? Of course, the sneaky.

But I won't use my normal voice.

I'll use something even sexier.

I love Arnold.

Oh, please, no kisses. I chat easily.

Yeah. Oh, hi, Michelle. Hi.

How was your game, guys? Oh, it's riveting. You should have seen me. I was

some new moves. I'm talking smooth, right, Dad? Right.

Then the girls left and we played some basketball.

Well, I'm going to go upstairs and pick out my socks for tomorrow.

What's the hurry?

If you keep putting these things off, they'll just pile up on you.

That kid lives in his own little world.

How's it going, Michelle?

Oh, not too good.

I've got a real problem.

Well, what's the matter? Maybe we can be helpful.

Well, I just don't know what I'm going to do.

My roommate suddenly moved out, and I can't afford my apartment by myself.

I guess I'll have to move, and you know how impossible it is to find a decent,

reasonable apartment in New York.

Well, can't you find another roommate?

Well, I've tried.

But it's not easy to find someone that you can get along with and like and

trust. There must be someone you know.

Well, as a matter of fact, there is.

But I'm sure you wouldn't approve, Mr. Drummond. I wouldn't approve.

Why not?

Because it's Kimberly.

You're right. I wouldn't approve.

Please, Daddy, it would really help out Michelle, and I'll be going away to

college anyway soon. You can think of it as kind of like a dress rehearsal for

me being on my own.

Yeah, Dad, I finally have a room to myself.

You don't know what it's like sleeping in the bunk below Arnold.

Every night I hear the patter of his little feet on my face.

I'll get it.

Hello?

Is this my little coochie -coo?

is Brad, baby.

Hello, Brad. How are you?

Lonesome. I count every minute I'm away from my fragrant flower of femininity.

Oh, Brad.

You sweet talker, you.

Listen, how about you and me splitting a Kool -Aid and slow dancing until dawn?

I'm sorry, but I'm seeing Ron on Friday and...

Oh, I'm afraid Saturday's out, too.

Steve's got a football game.

Well, maybe some other time, pussycat.

Meanwhile, keep your whiskers dry.

Oh, I will.

Thanks for calling, Fred.

Check you later, frecklehead.

Boy, Kimberly, you sure do have a lot of dates.

Oh, yeah. Well, I know a lot of nice guys.

I wouldn't want to get serious about anyone in particular.

Keep up the good work.

Well, how about it, Mr. Drummond? Can Kimberly move in with me?

Oh, please, Daddy. It's not forever. Just till Michelle finds another

Yes, say yes. Do us all a favor.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

First of all, I would like to go and check out Michelle's apartment.

Oh, thanks!

Well, think of it as a definite maybe.

As a matter of fact, I have some time this afternoon, Michelle.

This afternoon?

Oh,

I mean, that'd be great.

That'll give me a little time to get over there and straighten things up.

You know, pantyhose drying on the radiator.

See you later.

Well, I think we did a pretty good job.

We got rid of every sign that a man lives here.

Why? Sorry, Christy, but it's over between us anyway.

You better get out of here, too. Right.

Oh, no.

Get behind.

Where?

The fire escape.

No way. It's raining outside. Do you want Mr. Drummond to see you?

I'm singing in the rain. I'm singing in the rain. What a glorious day.

Be right there.

Hello. Here we are.

Sorry to keep you waiting. I was in the east wing.

All right.

Oh, hey.

This is a charming little apartment.

Oh, thank you, Mr. Drummond.

Let me give you the grand tour.

This is the living room. That's the kitchen. That's the bedroom. That's the

bathroom. That's the closet.

Are you sure that wasn't the economy tour?

I'm going to have a little look around, all right?

Daddy, wait till you see this gorgeous view of the skyline.

Oh, on a good day, you can see all the way down to...

What's the matter with the view?

Oh, nothing. You can't see much in weather like this. Oh, and it is really

blowing out there. I heard a report on the radio that some poor devil was blown

right off his balcony.

And he wasn't up any higher than this.

Oh, hey, look.

I'll bet that on a clear day you can see my office building from here.

I'll be able to wave to you until it works and you can wave back at me.

I like the apartment very much and I think you may do good.

Does that mean she can move in with me?

Well, we'll give it a try if that's what you really want. I want, I want. You

got, you got.

You're terrific.

I am, aren't I? Oh.

Well, I gotta be going.

Okay. Now, remember, honey, when you get moved in, look through that peephole

before you let anybody in, turn off all the appliances before you go to bed, and

call the police right away if you hear a heavy breather on the phone.

Now, you sure you don't want me to chain a killer dog outside the door?

No, that won't be necessary.

Bye now.

Fifteen minutes in the spin sock, I'll be as good as new.

What happened in here?

Kimberly gets to move in with you.

She really fooled her father. He didn't suspect a thing.

Fantastic! Wait!

Hug called off on the can of rain.

Still trying my curveball.

See ya.

It was nice of David to give me things for the apartment.

Yeah, you've got him housebroken already.

Yeah, where do you want these sweaters? Oh, just set them down anywhere. I'll

put them away later.

She's got a lot to do. I'll put them away in the bedroom for her. Okay.

Kimberly, how about something cold to drink?

No, thanks.

I meant me.

Got a soft drink?

Yes.

Oh, look.

Here's one right here in the groceries I just bought.

Michelle, you know where everything is. Why don't you get Arnold a glass?

Right. Oops.

Silly me.

Michelle, remember you told me that you moved the glasses.

Oh, right.

Did I tell you where I moved them to?

happen to remember where you keep the refrigerator?

Macho shave.

With a stubborn stubble?

Uh, oh, the clerk was to put this in my bag by mistake.

You girls don't have to be embarrassed because you have porcupine legs.

Porcupine legs, yeah, that we, yeah.

Oh, Michelle.

Could you give me some advice on some new fashion?

If I can, Willis, what is it?

Are women starting to wear men's underwear?

Gee, Willis, where'd you get those?

Well, I thought I'd do you a favor and put your sweaters away.

There's a dresser drawer full of these, and men's socks, too.

Oh, well, uh, there's a reason for that, right, Kimberly? Right.

Tell him.

Yeah, I know the reason.

There's also a closet full of men's clothes in there, too.

This isn't your apartment, Michelle.

This is David's.

What are you talking about, Willis?

Willis! I'm shocked you'd even think such a thing.

Hi, this is David. I'm not home right now, but if you leave a message, I'll

back to you as soon as I can.

Hey, Kimberly, it's David.

I'm at the office.

Give me a call when it's safe to come home.

Okay, cutie?

What? I'm shocked. You didn't even think such a thing.

Guys, please don't tell Daddy.

We won't, but your brain must be made out of silly putty.

Yeah, it's sure going to hurt Dad if he ever finds out.

I guess I cooked a little too much dinner.

I've got to get used to Kimberly not being here.

It does seem strange without her.

She's only been away four hours.

But it's what Kimberly wants, and I guess it'll be a good experience.

Oh, she's going to get some experience, all right.

I think she'll be just fine.

That Michelle seems like she'd make a very nice roommate.

Well, look who's here.

Hey.

What's going on?

Daddy, you remember David.

Oh, David, so nice to see you.

Hello, Mr. Drummond.

Daddy, I've got to talk to you about something.

Guys, would you mind leaving the room, please?

No, not at all.

Me neither. I don't want to be near ground zero when the bomb goes off.

Something is going on that I don't know about.

Well, Daddy, as a matter of fact, I'm afraid I've done something I'm not very

proud of. Oh?

What was that?

Mr. Drummond, it's not Michelle's apartment that Kimberly moved into. It's

Yes. Daddy, I know it was wrong to lie to you, but David and I discussed it and

we agreed we couldn't go through with it. Living together?

Mr. Drummond, it was my stupid idea.

I mean, and I couldn't let Kimberly be in any situation where she was this

unhappy. In the same apartment?

My daughter and you?

Well, anyway, Daddy, here I am if you want me.

Well, of course I want you.

How could you possibly consider such a thing? Well, Daddy, at least I wound up

doing the right thing.

Yes, you did.

But don't deny me my parental right to be angry at what you almost did.

Daddy, I'm going to go about this the way you'd want me to.

Oh, good, good.

That's why David and I have decided to get engaged.

Engaged? Well, that could lead to marriage.

Daddy, I just know as the years go by, you're going to learn to love David.

Daddy, say something.

Get me some aspirin.

Peter, just one drum.

What might be right for you?

May not be right for Tom, but then it's fun. He's a better beat than a long

come to.

They got nothing but the genes that they got. His friends grow today.

His friends grow.

up with the garment bag? You going somewhere?

Yeah, I just got some terrible news. My Uncle Buddy died.

Oh, Malcolm, I'm so sorry.

I mean, what happened? He was fine when we visited him last Thanksgiving.

Well, yeah, he was 87 and my Aunt Jeanette's only 32.

Oh.

We can assume he died a happy man.

Yes, yes he did.

I have a 715 flight to North Carolina. I'm going to be one of the pallbearers.

Oh, wow. That's a real honor, Mal. I was a pallbearer once for one of my

favorite cousins, Freddy Ricketts.

Oh, that turned out real good.

He dropped his end of the casket.

Cousin Freddy spilled out and slid down a storm drain.

They found him.

Eventually.

Down the coast.

I'll see you guys later.

You dropped a dead man down a storm drain?

It was a defective handle, okay?

The sun was in my eyes.

A beast of me.

It was really heavy, okay?

Isn't it like a funny bone?

It's just gonna leave you alone while you sit inside your home.

Did you miss me? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Doug's been taking too many breaks. Here, let me get this.

Welcome. Welcome back.

Hey, Doug.

It's not the 50 -50 club without you. Oh, well, it's good to be back.

So, how you holding up now?

I'm fine.

My Uncle Buddy's funeral was so nice. It was so touching.

All of his wives spoke.

How many did he have?

Legally, three.

But there were a couple of gatecrashers from his hippie days.

And I say, that man knew how to live.

Hey, Doug, could you draw me up a cold one?

Oh, Mal, that is beautiful.

Is this from Uncle Buddy?

No, that is Uncle Buddy.

Here you go, Mal. Thank you, Doug.

Uncle Buddy, here's to you.

Uh, Mal?

Why do you have his ashes here?

Well, Uncle Buddy grew up in Kansas City, and his last request was to have

ashes scattered on the Missouri River.

I used to swim in that river.
