got nothing but their genes But they got
different strokes you take Different

strokes you think Different strokes to

special kind of story

Everybody finds a way to shine.

It don't matter that you got not a lot.

So what? They'll have theirs and you'll
have yours and I'll have mine.

And together we'll be fine. Cause it
takes different strokes to move the

Cause it doesn't take different strokes
to move the world.

Thanks,

Dad. I'll worry if I get the urge to
make a fool of myself.

Just think, tomorrow my oldest son will
become a college man.

Yeah. That sure brings back memories of
my solid days.

You know, this is crazy, Willie.

I don't know why I'm nervous.

You're the one who should be nervous.

Willie Jackson, going to college,
superstar.

Start after recruited and feared.

Especially by teachers. They've never
had to teach plant life before.

Willis, will you cool it? I'm trying to
study for algebra class.

Oh, Willis, speaking of classes, does
the word book ring a bell?

Oh, yeah, Dad, don't worry about it. I
have my little black book right here.

Willis, I'm glad that you're so relaxed.

But you know, you're going to have to
work a lot harder to get the kind of

grades in college that you did in high
school.

You're taking on a bigger responsibility
than has ever been put on you before.

There won't be anybody there to remind
you to do your homework, to get you up

you'll get out on time.

Oh, stop worrying, Philip.

He's our son, and he'll do just fine.

We're going to miss you.

Yeah, well, I've always had you as an
example of how to be cool.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, don't worry about it, Sam.

Since Arnold hit high school, he's
starting to pick up the Jackson family

tradition. Right, Arnold?

Yeah.

Right.

We're all gonna miss Willis.

Aren't we, Arnold?

Oh, sure. Yeah, hey, I'll miss you, bro.

I'll miss the way you hogged the
bathroom.

I'll miss the way your snore so loud you
set off the burglar alarm.

I'll miss the way your hair's so ugly
you make Don King look handsome.

Keep it up or I'm not gonna give you my
lucky New York Yankees cap.

Some lucky hat.

Yogi Berra gave it to you an hour before
he was fired.

He's going to miss you, Willis. He just
doesn't know how to express it.

I'm going to miss you too, son.

But there comes a time when every man
has to leave home and shape his own

But that time doesn't start until
tomorrow, so get to bed.

Good night, Willis. Good night, Mama.

Good night, sweetheart.

Good night.

Yes. Willis, honey, here's the Levant
phone number. Now, they only live about

ten minutes from Ashton, and she's
always good for a home -cooked meal.

But don't talk politics with him.

He'll just rave about how today's
students are responsible for the decay

America's moral fiber. I sure hope he's
right.

Well, the limousine's all packed, but
the chauffeur is a little upset because

the sign you put on the bumper.

I guess it's time to say goodbye.

Hey, wait a minute.

Where's Arnold?

I don't know.

He said he wanted to sleep late this
morning, so he told me to give you this

farewell letter instead.

That's ridiculous. I don't believe this.

It says here I'm not supposed to open
until I get to school.

Well, if you go upstairs and don't come
down without Arnold, he's not going to

say goodbye to his brother with a note.

Okay, Dan, but you know how grumpy he is
when he wakes up.

But um, I thought maybe I'd give you one
more chance to say goodbye or even tell

me you're gonna miss me Now, why would I
want to do something like that?

Maybe you have something else to say
Hey, give me that back.

Not so quick. Hey, the way you've been
acting, I'm curious.

Sit down.

Dear Willard, when you were accepted at
Ashton, I thought something was totally

crazy. I said to myself, there's no way
Willis should be going to college.

That's a nice way to say goodbye.

You're the one who wanted to read it.

It's not that I didn't think you were
smart enough.

That's better.

It's just that I thought by the time you
were ready to move out, I'd be big

enough to handle it.

You see, you always taught me about
growing up, protected me, and gave me

about girls.

And once it even worked.

But the most important thing was, well,
you see, Willis, after Mama and Papa

died, there was nobody but you who could
remind me who I was.

No matter how fat my handsome little
head got, you were always there to

me where I came from and that I should
always be proud to be a Jackson.

And don't get me wrong, Willis, I'm
really happy you're going out and

the Jackson charm on the rest of the
world.

I just wish there was some way you could
go away.

She'll be here, too.

I love you, Arnold.

That was pretty deep, Arnold.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm nervous, Jack.

called him trying to sneak out on the
fire escape.

Well, you know, it's not easy to say
goodbye.

Sure it is.

You just walk up to the guy, stick out
your hand and say, I can't say

it.

Well,

then, I guess I'm going to have to say
it.

I can't say it either.

Well, somebody has to say goodbye,
Willis.

Oh, thanks.

Bye, Dad.

Son, I want you to go out there and have
as much fun as you possibly can.

Hey, all right.

And learn something while you're doing
it.

There's always a catch.

I know I'm going to be proud of you.

Thanks, Dad.

And I'm proud to be your son, too.

We're still here if you need some old
-fashioned advice or an old -fashioned

loan.

Hey, Maggie, can I apply for one of
those old -fashioned loans?

As soon as you leave for college.

It's not going to be the same without
you around here, Willis.

Mama, are you going to get mushy?

Yes, Sam, I am. Now, hush.

Willis, I know I didn't raise you from
birth, but I couldn't be prouder.

are filled with more hope for you than
if I had.

Ah, thanks, Maggie.

Here you go, Willis.

Some pumpkin bread, peanut butter
cookies, and my special chocolate

cake.

What's a chocolate decadence cake?

One bite and you break eight of the Ten
Commandments.

Hey, listen.

I think we'd better get going. You don't
want to be late before school has even

started. Okay.

Well, I guess this is it.

Hey, look, honey, we got a big job ahead
of you now. I want you to take care of

everybody for me, okay?

No problem.

All right, great.

I feel better about leaving now.

Bye, you guys.

Bye. We love you. Have a safe trip.

The days of the dirty dirty. There's no
one in this house that I'm even

attracted to. They love Anthony.

Anthony's lady friends, they're kind of
groupish. Anthony.

Bring your strippers over the house.

Anthony. Anthony.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Oh, how you doing? How you doing? I'm
your new roommate.

Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Doug Dixon
from Bettendorf, Iowa. Ah, Willis

from New York City.

Iowa, huh?

Yep, yep.

They have a lot of farms there, huh?

A couple.

New York, huh?

Yeah.

They got a lot of tall buildings there?

Yeah, we have those subways a little
trains go through and we have on the

Broadway with the girls doing shows I

guess

that I was kind of being a

Narrow -minded don't worry about that's
what we're here for to broaden our

minds. No that other garbage.

Hey, well, then why don't you get
dressed?

And we can hit the campus together and
broaden our minds. You know, I like the

way you think.

We should be able to get in a lot of
trouble around here.

We'll let Ashley know that an epic duel
has arrived. You got it. All right. Hey,

is freshman Willis Jackson there yet?

You hear that?

They know I'm here already.

I can't believe that.

everybody. Hi, Mr. D.

Darn it.

Nothing from Willis.

How are we going to know how he's doing
at college if he won't write us a

letter?

Mr. D, he's only been gone five days.

And he calls every night.

There's no excuse.

Still, he should write.

Supposing he called and got a busy
signal.

I really miss Willis. I even miss his
argyle socks.

Those were his ankles.

I wonder what Willis is doing right now.

I'll never forget my first week in
college. It was crazy.

I stood in line for five hours to get my
classes and three hours to get my book.

Then I read all the books ahead of time
to get a jump on things.

Boy, talk about life in the fast lane.

Everybody, I'm home.

Hey, Willis!

Hey, how you doing, Sam? Willis, did you
come back because you missed me? That's

right, Sam.

and that in one week I managed to
accumulate two weeks' worth of dirty

I thank you, my lint filter. Thank you,
my spin cycle.

Thank you.

What happened to all those fraternity
parties and the freshman dance you were

going to go to this weekend?

Oh, Dad, the only way I can give those
other guys a chance was to leave the

campus.

It's going to be a great weekend.

You know it, Dad. But if you'll excuse
me, I've got to go call those poor,

lonely girls I left behind and tell them
their college man, Willis Jackson, is

back in town.

Yeah, poor girls.

Right after Willis left, they started
chasing cars for fun.

Willis, this weekend flew by so fast, it
didn't even seem like you were home.

Maybe that's because he wasn't.

Sorry I didn't get enough time to spend
at home with you guys.

But those women can't get enough of
those college stories.

What stories? You've only been there a
week. Dad, when you spend two days with

nine girls...

That one story goes a long way.

Well, I guess this is it.

Goodbye, Willis. Bye.

Oh, God bless you. Thanks.

Hey! Don't expect another big farewell.

You only get one cry a semester.

What is it, Willis? Are you okay?

I'm fine, Dad.

You don't have a fever.

I just felt a little woozy.

It'll pass.

I don't think you look very good. You
better stay here tonight. You can get a

train to Ashton in the morning.

I don't think it's necessary, Dad.

Yes, it is.

Poor thing.

You'll probably just run down from all
your school activities.

Not to mention all those activities at
home.

Sherry, Don, Rachel, Vixen.

Vixen? She looks like a reindeer.

alert father alert what i heard dad
talking on the phone to maggie he

believe you fake he thinks you've been
faking these past three days come on

at me i'm wiped out i know that but i
thought i'd warn you see i was walking

through the kitchen hi dad how are you i
was just talking to willis about the

oil crisis what oil crisis that's just
what i was telling willis there hasn't

been a good oil crisis in quite a few
years

How are you feeling today, Willis?

A little better than yesterday, Dad.

It seems that your 24 -hour flu has
turned into the 72 -hour variety.

Yeah. I guess old Mr. Flu forgot to wind
his watch.

Well, obviously, there's only one thing
to do. Call the doctor. Yeah, Dad.

Doctor? No, wait. No doctor.

I mean, he'll just say it's something
going around or something.

Okay, Willis.

What is going on here? There is
something you're not telling me.

Dad, there's nothing I'm not telling
you. And if there was something I wasn't

telling you, I wouldn't tell you anyway.

All right, Willis. Obviously, you don't
want to go back to school. Why?

Okay, I want to drop out. There, I said
it. What?

Drop out? How can you possibly want to
drop out?

Dad, at Ashton, all I see are a bunch of
people chasing diplomas like chickens

with their heads cut off.

Well, it sounds just like college to me.

Dad, there's a glut of diplomas on the
market. I read that in your Wall Street

Journal. You know, I'd just be better
off getting a job and becoming an

entrepreneur. You don't need school for
that. Just a good idea.

Even if that were true, Willis, it won't
hurt you to go to school.

You can always be an entrepreneur after
you've graduated.

Right, just like I can go back to school
after I go to work.

Those sound like famous last words to
me.

You know, you won't give me an inch,
will you?

All right, Willis, now come on, tell me.
What is really bothering you?

I got nothing going for me at Ashton.

I might as well drop out and save them
the trouble of throwing me out.

It's just not easy in college.

It isn't supposed to be, especially the
first year.

Yeah, but in high school I was king of
the hill.

Now I'm getting stumped on with all the
hot shot upperclassmen. Now listen,

Willis.

You went through the same thing when you
were first in high school.

Then eventually you were one of the hot
shot upperclassmen. Just give it a

little time. But there's too much
competition at Ashton.

There's so many smart guys there.

And some of them aren't even nerds.

And it's just that it's... Overwhelming?

Yeah.

And it's lonely, Dad. I mean, really
lonely.

I don't feel like I can tell anybody
there.

I'm sorry, Dad, but I just want to quit
for now.

Well, I can't force you to stay, son.
But I want you to promise me that before

you do decide, that you'll give this
some more thought.

You know, I've done enough thinking for
this semester, Dad.

I'm dropping out.

You're sitting on the couch, you're
watching TV, and your life's passing you

You keep procrastinating over and over.
Well, maybe I'll go to school next year,

maybe next semester. No, do it right
now. They'll work with you after work,

you can go before work. You can do
whatever you need to do to graduate. Go

to somebody right now. They out to help
you. You spend all day on the phone

anyhow. Why don't you make a phone call
that's going to help you in your future?

All you got to do is pick up the phone
and make the call.

Why are you making it complicated?

It's easy.

No one likes a bath tissue that leaves
pieces behind.

That's why there's Charmin Ultra Strong.
It's a different kind of Charmin. With

its diamond weave texture, Charmin Ultra
Strong is soft and more durable.

More durable so it holds up better than
the Ultra Ripple brand.

Fewer pieces left behind.

Good news for even the biggest kids.

Charmin Ultra Strong. Look for it in the
red package.

Is this yours?

Uh, yeah, Dad.

You know, actually, this is quite a
comfortable room.

Hey, Willis, welcome back. Hey, Doug.

This is my dad, Philip Drummond. Doug
Dixon, Philip Drummond.

Hi, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you,
sir, Willis. I've told me a lot about

you. What?

What's going on?

Um, I'm moving out.

You are?

Yeah. Oh, what fraternity did you get
into? Wait, let me guess. Uh, the Fijis,

right? You animal.

No. I didn't get into any fraternity.

Well, you're getting an apartment off
campus. All right.

Hey, maybe I can borrow it some night
when I have a date. Huh?

I'm planning on having a date sometime
before the semester's over.

No, I didn't get an apartment either.

You see, I have to drop out.

Some, um, business opportunities that I
set up over the summer finally came

through. And, um...

They want me to start working them right
away.

Well, that's great.

I guess those business smarts run in the
family, huh?

You must be very proud.

Yeah.

Yeah, I am.

Well, I'm really sorry to see you go,
Willis.

Maybe when I graduate you can give me a
job.

Sure thing.

Well, um, I gotta hit the book.

Do you know what I mean, Dad?

The place turned into a bookworm.

Economic theory, that's pretty
complicated stuff for a freshman, huh?

complicated.

Got advanced French, psychology,
English, comp.

I mean, I almost chucked it in after the
first week.

Yeah.

I guess it can seem overwhelming.

Well, it's not impossible. It just takes
a lot of studying.

Well, then why were you going to chuck
it in?

That's simple.

It was lonely.

Not as lonely as a cabbage in a
cornfield.

Yeah, I know that feeling. That can be
awful.

But the stupid thing was that I was
afraid to tell anybody that that's how I

felt. I mean, is that stupid or what?

Yeah. Stupid.

Actually, it seems natural to me.

But what happened, Doug? How is it you
can talk about it now?

Well, one night, a bunch of us were
sitting around talking, and it turns out

we're all in the same lonely boat.

It sure helps to know you're not alone,
doesn't it? It sure does.

I mean, now we hang out together, and
we've even formed a study group.

We were going to ask you to join,
Willis, but you've been gone all week.

Hey, you know, when I was in college, I
was in a study group. We divided up the

reading. We shared our notes. We even
pulled up our grades.

That's what we're counting on.

Well, I guess you guys figured out how
to beat the freshman blues.

I sure hope so. And if we get to feeling
depressed from now on, we're going to

go downtown and take in a movie.

And maybe pick on some high school kids.

I don't believe what I'm hearing, man. I
thought you had it made.

Yeah, well, that's what I wanted you to
think.

I mean, with everything coming so easy
for you, I didn't want you to think that

the farm boy couldn't hack it.

Wish I would have known.

I mean, I could have helped you out or
something.

Willis, I just had a brainstorm.

Yeah? I have two bright young vice
presidents that I have to let go because

overstaffed. I hate to put them out in
the cold.

Here's what I was thinking. Maybe they
could manage your projects for you while

you stay in school.

Sounds very tempting, Dad, but I don't
know.

Give it some thought.

Thought?

Right.

Okay, I'll do it. All right, welcome
back. Did you miss me? No, thanks.

With that kind of decision -making and a
little education, you could be one of

the great entrepreneurs of your time.

You know, and Doug's right.

Those kind of smarts do run in a family.

Hey, Jackson, it's about time you got
back.

You hear that?

Your friends really missed you. I'd like
to meet those guys.

No way!

It's too low.

You better be talking about this banner.

Something smells good, Mara. What kind
of cake are you baking?

Daddy's favorite, German chocolate.

All right.

I remember the first one you made. You
were so cute.

Oh, yeah. That was a disaster.

Burnt on the outside, raw on the inside.

And the frosting was like concrete.

Hard to believe it's been a whole year
already.

It's an incredibly funny bomb.

It's just going to leave you alone while
you're sitting inside your home.

Are you sure your mom can keep this
party a secret from my dad? We both hate

admit it, but they've been dating a
while now.

Well, if you don't like to admit it, why
you bring it up?

Anyway, I told her not to tell anybody
about the party, especially family.

Oh, Eddie, you can invite your family. I
mean, we got a bunch of McGees coming

in from the Twin Cities.

Invite? You don't invite Shermans.

You endure them.

You remember the plague and locusts in
the Bible?

Hey, they're a little like that, but
less interesting to talk to.

You cannot be opposed to family, man.
Family is the cornerstone of

Oh, I ain't opposed to family. It's
relatives.

Except for my house.

Love you, girl.

What's that for? What'd you do wrong?

I just love you for no reason.

Malcolm, what did he do wrong?

He taught the family a bunch of insects.

Well, they are.

to help me with these groceries?

Hi, I'm Malcolm's sister, Mara. How do
you do, Mrs. Sherman?

I'm so delighted you and my father are a
couple.

Oh, nice to meet you. You know, your
father had told me so much about you.

well, I'm not supposed to know this, but
I'm his favorite.

Not children. Parents don't have
favorites. We love all of our babies

Of course, sometimes there's one we
dislike more than others.

Uh, Mrs. Sherman, is... very sweet of
you to buy groceries, but I've got the

kitchen under control. I'm making my
father's favorite cake, German

I don't mean to contradict you right out
the gate, but Marcus's favorite cake is

lemon poppy seed, and I have all of the
ingredients right here.

Oh, I hate to contradict you, Mrs.
Sherman, but German chocolate cake has

my father's favorite his whole life.

His whole life until he tasted my lemon
poppy seed.

What dad's favorite cake is?

Parents don't have favorites. They love
all their cakes equally.

Oh, excuse me. No, no, no. Excuse me.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry.

Listen to this.

This is the most polite damn fight I
ever had.

My sister's gay. This could be the only
time she'll ever get to fight over a

man.

No one likes a bath tissue that leaves
pieces behind.

That's why they're Charmin Ultra Strong.
