All language subtitles for The Jeffersons s05e03 Homecoming 2

Well, we're moving on up. We're moving
on up.

Last week, George Jefferson was having
no luck finding a location for a new

cleaning plant until he learned that Tom
Willis had just inherited a warehouse

from his late father.

You mean to tell me that Tom owns a
warehouse over on 10th Avenue?

He will now.

What's he going to do with it?

Well, I don't think he's decided yet.

Oh, it's the perfect location.

George's plan to get the warehouse from
Tom Willis seemed to be going well until

the Willis' son appeared at George's
door.

Alan Willis.

Remember me?

Oh, yeah, the white sheep of the family.

A lawyer called about the will. Grandpa
left everything to me.

I already know what I'm going to do with
the warehouse.

You do?

I'm going to give it to you, Dad. It's
really yours anyway.

Where do you think you're going?

I am going back to New Mexico where
nobody hassles me.

Oh, it's that kid. I just don't
understand him. Now that he's got the

warehouse... No, no, no, no. You got the
warehouse.

No, the will says he can't give it to
me.

What? So, you see, my problem is... Who
cares about your problem?

You mean you want me to stay here with
you? I insist.

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.

It's now the next morning, and Alan
Willis and George Jefferson have been

the same roof for one whole night. To
the surprise of Louise and Florence, all

is calm.

Maybe George is turning over a new leaf.

Well, if he is, I bet you under that
leaf there's a snake.

Morning, Florence.

Morning, Mr. Jefferson.

Good morning, Alan.

Good morning, Alan. What would you like
for breakfast? Oh, don't worry about me,

Mrs. Jefferson.

I'll take care of my own breakfast.

Why, don't you trust my cooking?

Well, it's not that, Florence. It's just
that I like a high -energy breakfast.

Well, you're going to need all the
energy you can get once the Mr.

know turns back into the Mr. Jefferson I
know.

Yeah, you know, it's been almost a day
since he called me zebra.

Are you sure we can't get you anything,
Alan? Well, I could use some of that

orange juice.

I hope you don't mind me making my own
breakfast, Florence. It's just force of

habit. No, child, you can force that
habit on me anytime.

Hey, Alan, my man, good morning.

How'd you sleep last night? Like a baby.
Yeah? I didn't hear you cry once.

What you got there?

Well, this is my own recipe. I call it
Western Wowie. Want to try some? Sure.

Well, it's good enough for my main man.
It's good enough for me.

Looks good.

What's in it? Well, a little orange
juice mixed with desiccated liver,

dehydrated seaweed, and fertile egg
yolk.

Is it good, George?

Well,

how did you like it, Mr. Jefferson?

That was something.

Man, I never tasted nothing like that
before in my life.

Western Huawei's good for you. Pure
energy.

You ain't lying.

It made me run right through the living
room.

Hey, Alan, now that you and me are
alone, there's something very important

want to talk to you about.

Well, don't you want to finish your
breakfast first?

Breakfast? No.

I don't need much breakfast in the
morning. I got to get up early and get

Yeah, me too.

I like to watch the sunrise.

Sunrise? No, I ain't got no time to be
watching no sunrise. I got to be out

there getting a jump on my competition.

Don't you ever get tired of all that
wheeling and dealing?

You got something against work?

Oh, no.

But I'd rather work with my hands. Well,
I work with my hands, too. I use them

to count my money.

Well, you like to make money. I like to
make a chair.

What for?

To sit on.

No, I mean, how long does it take you to
make a chair? Oh, a couple weeks.

Yeah, now, see, that's dumb. You spent
all that time making one chair when you

could work and make enough money to buy
50 chairs.

But I don't need 50 chairs.

You would if you had money.

Because then you'd have enough friends
to use the other 49.

I get it.

You mean if I was rich enough, I could
buy me some friends.

Yeah. No, I didn't say that.

Sorry. You mean that money could buy me
comfort.

Yeah. And a lot of valuable possessions.
Right. And an expensive security

system. Yep.

So you become a prisoner in your own
home?

Yeah. No.

That is the most idiotic, stupidest
thing I ever heard in my life.

That's the trouble with you kids of the
day. You think the world owes you a

living. Oh, now, wait a minute. And you
know something? You may be right.

You agree with me?

Agree. I said we're two of a kind under
the skin.

Now, about that warehouse.

Who the hell is that?

Don't move, Alan. I'll be right back.

That song is called, Mr. J.

Yeah, awful.

No, it's been driving me crazy all
morning. I just can't think of the

See you around.

No, that's not it.

Hi, Mr. Bentley. Oh, Alan, I see you're
still here.

You are, too. I said goodbye once.

Hello, Mr. J.

Oh, hi, Mr. Bentley.

Oh, you seem a bit tired this morning.

I am.

Did you ever have one of those nights
when you didn't sleep a wink?

Well, actually, yes, but I'm not the
type to brag.

She didn't mean that.

You're right.

Actually, I was awake all night thinking
about the help center.

Our rent is being raised, and unless we
come up with the money, we may have to

close down.

What's the help center?

Oh, it's a place where your mother and I
do some volunteer work.

Drug counseling, family planning, job
placement.

Yeah, I'd like to see that sometime.

Well, you can go with me today if you'd
like. Your mother should be there. No,

he can't. Alan wants to stay in with me.
Right, Alan?

You know, I did some fundraising in
college. Look, don't you got something

do? Well, I was practicing my clavietta.
Would you like me to play something?

Yeah, far, far away.

George, that wasn't very nice. Yeah, I
know. Can you believe Bentley running in

here bothering us like that?

Now, back to business.

Look.

doing? Making some notes for my meeting
at the center.

Can't we find any privacy around here?
Come on, Alan.

Well, what do you want to talk about,
Mr. Jefferson? Well, we'll start with

warehouse.

Now, Florence, go find something to do.
I'm sorry, I'm on my break.

Break? Don't you have to work before you
get a break?

Hey, relax, Mr. Jefferson. We'll find
somewhere else to talk.

Yeah.

Would you get that, George? Please,

I have to finish this.

I have a solution.

For what? For Mrs. J's fundraising
problem.

She will hold a tiddlywinks contest and
offer a prize like $10 ,000.

Well, if we had $10 ,000, we wouldn't
need a tiddlywinks contest.

Right. Oh.

Well, perhaps I'd better think on a
different plane. Yeah.

thinking on a plane to Cuba.

I have to get ready for my meeting.
Well, it's about time.

Now we can talk.

Look now, little buddy.

I'll get it. No, I'll get it.

You can have it. I ain't crazy about
opening doors, no.

I got it. Well, get out of here before I
catch you.

A huge blimp, gaily colored, floating
over the city.

Yeah, and you could drop leaflets
saying, save the health center.

Yes, and we could paint a slogan on the
side of the blimp. Look, Bentley, why

don't you and Florence go over to your
apartment and discuss this thing?

But... You two will make a great team.
You can supply the balloons and Florence

can supply the hot air.

Fine. Be right back.

Come on, Tom.

Oh, Helen.

Why should I be the one to apologize?

Don't you love our son?

Of course, but... Then go on in and tell
him you're sorry.

But... But what?

But love means never having to say
you're sorry.

Tom, there is nothing to be afraid of.
I'm not afraid.

Will you go with me?

Tom, I have a meeting at the health
center. Besides, this is between you and

Alan. Now go on. Oh, Helen. Helen!

Helen! Wait!

Alan, you gonna be in there long?

No, I'm just washing my hands. Well,
could you dry them out here?

Damn that Bentley. I'm going to get rid
of that turkey for good.

I think your idea stinks.

So do I, but Helen made me come down.

Well, what do you want?

Is Alan here?

Yeah, but we're talking.

Oh, well, then if you two are busy, I
can come back later. Good idea.

Oh, hi, Dad.

Are you here to see me?

Why, uh, yes. I mean, no.

I mean, yes.

Why don't you come back when you make up
your mind?

last night.

Ah, forget about it, Dad. You don't have
to apologize.

Oh, good.

Neither do you.

We both got carried away.

Yes, we did, didn't we? Well, I hope you
won't resort to calling me a fool

again. Well, I don't exactly get a
thrill out of being called a bum.

Alan, all I was trying to say is that
I'd like to see you do something useful

with your life.

Dad, you're starting up again. Hey,
Willis!

Can't you see you're upsetting the kid?

I'm upsetting him. What do you think
he's doing to me?

What is

the matter with you two?

This is your kid. Your own flesh and
blood.

He's got the same name, and in this
case, the same color.

Now, if you two had any sense at all,
you'd shake hands, make up, and you

go to hell back upstairs to your own
apartment where you belong.

He's right.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Your mother and I'd like you to come
home with us.

Great. You'll be up in about 20 minutes.

Maybe we can talk more over lunch. Oh,
that sounds good.

Come back around noon. In fact, I'm
having lunch today with Ted Bennett.

a perfect guy for you to meet. Why is
that? He's in real estate. He could

you what to do on the warehouse. Oh,
now, Dad.

Well, you do want to get top dollar for
it, don't you? Dad, I really don't care

about getting top dollar. Yeah, Willis,
it's about time you learned that money

ain't everything.

Of course money isn't everything when
you don't have to earn your own.

Well, you really don't understand me at
all, do you? I understand you perfectly.

You'd rather mooch off of Jeffersons
than pay your own way.

Well, it beats living with you and
arguing all the time. All right, why

you stay here for the rest of your life?
No, no, no, no, no. He ain't gonna stay

that long.

I just might do that.

Hey, now, let's not be hasty.

Okay, George, he's all yours. Hey,
Willis, what... Oh, it's no use, Mr.

Jefferson.

But thanks for trying to help.

Huh? Oh, yeah, well, what are friends
for?

In fact, that's what I wanted to talk to
you about. You know, I owe you an

apology. Apology? Yeah, I misjudged you.

I didn't really think you wanted to help
settle things between me and my dad.

Well, yeah, but, uh... Yeah, you know,
when you first asked me to stay here, I

thought you were maybe just gonna hustle
me for the warehouse.

Me? Hustle you? My main man?

Well, I know I was wrong then, but,
well, you took me in and made me feel

one of the family, and...

Hey, you're all right, Mr. Jefferson.

How about it, brother?

Right, brother.

Now, what did you want to say about the
warehouse?

Say, uh... Oh, I'm just happy that you
got it.

I'm leaving now.

You two can have all the privacy you
want. Hey, look, Wheezy, before you go,

I've got to talk to you in the kitchen.

Excuse me a minute, Alan. But, George...
Now,

listen, Wheezy.

We're a family, right?

And families stick together, right?

I mean, like the Waltons. Every time
something happens to one of them

the whole family jumps in to help out,
right?

I'm going to be late for my meeting.
Look, Wheezy.

You always update that help center up on
other people. Now, I need me some help.

What kind of help do you need?

I need help getting a place for my new
cleaning plant.

George, I can't help you with that. You
can talk to Alan.

Huh? Look, Alan's warehouse will be
perfect for my new cleaning plant.

Oh, so that's it.

The only reason you wanted Alan here is
because he inherited a warehouse.

And all this time, you were just
fattening him up with a kill.

Alan, please stay with us. Alan, my man,
how'd you sleep last night?

Now you want me to do your dirty work.

The question is, George, how did you
sleep last night?

Look, Weasley, I ain't doing nothing
dishonest. I ain't trying to cheat him.

In fact, I'm doing him a favor by taking
that old raggedy warehouse off his

hands. Then why don't you just talk to
Alan yourself?

I can't. Why not?

Well, because... Because you're better
at that kind of stuff than I am, Wheezy.

He'll listen to you.

Oh, George, I don't... I'm not doing
this just for me. I'm doing it for us.

Okay, George, I'll talk. I knew I could
count on you, Wheezy.

But...

Once he decides what he's going to do
with that warehouse, I don't want you

throwing him out of here.

Of course not, Weasley. Look, Alan can
stay here as long as he wants.

Promise? I promise.

But I don't think he's going to want to
keep hanging around old people like you

and Florence.

What about you, George?

I'm used to you and Florence.

You're incredible.

Oh, wait, one more thing, Weasley.

Remind Alan that he's related to us.
Make sure he gives us a good deal.

Well,

see you all later.

Okay.

Hey, we think you're going to... I'll
have to do that when I come back,

Hey, hey, hey, I just got a great idea.

Why don't you go over to the help center
with Louise?

Would I be in the way, Mrs. Jefferson?
Of course not, Mr. YouTube friends. Go

ahead and have a nice time, nice talk.

You've already seen our reception area.

And over there is where we offer job
counseling.

And over here is where we provide free
clothing.

Could I help you?

No, thanks.

Just looking.

Well, Alan, that's the grand tour.

Well, I'm impressed.

You've got a lot of good stuff going on
down here. The spirit's a lot like the

commune.

Well...

Mr. Andrews is ready for us. Mrs. Willis
is already in there.

Well, I guess we'd better go in and give
it our best shot.

Uh, who's Mr. Andrews? He's the son of
a... He's the man who owns this

Wish us luck.

You got anything like this in brown?

What's wrong with the blue?

It doesn't match my socks.

Hey, how you doing, man?

Fine. Say, listen, you in a hurry? Oh,
yeah, like my Autorado's parked in an

parking zone.

Well, with the little bit of money you
got here in this can, you won't be able

to pay the ticket.

Oh. Come on, man. I need this bread.

Yeah, but there's not nearly enough in
here.

Just nickels and dimes. Only what these
people can afford.

Say, man, what's... Now, why don't you
take that radio there? Probably get ten

bucks for that.

Yeah. And how about this nice clock
here? Should get something for it.

Say, man, what's your game?

Hey, no game. You said you needed bread.
I'm just trying to help you out.

Now, how much you figure you'd sell this
for? Thirty bucks?

You're crazy.

Hey, now, why don't you take this coat,
too, huh?

Yeah. It doesn't fit me anyhow.

Hey, what are you, a cop?

Do I look like a cop?

No, but neither does Columbo.

Well, that reminds me. Have you got
anything in raincoats?

Hey, now listen, why don't you just take
your loot and split?

Hey, man, I can't take all of this.

Why? You like ripping people off, don't
you? Hey, I didn't say I liked it. I

just do it.

Living, right?

Hey, that's right, Holmes. You got to
grab all you can, because ain't nobody

going to help you. Well, you better not
let anybody in this place hear you say

that, because they might make a liar out
of you.

Say what?

The people who work in this place in the
business of helping people.

Forget it, man. I've been to all kind of
places like this, and all you get is

talk. Yeah, and the problem with talk is
some people too dumb to listen.

You saying I'm dumb?

No. You're smart.

You're too smart to be ripping off
people who can help you. Help me do

What do you want to do? I don't know.

Well, I know that feeling.

But maybe this place could give you some
ideas.

Maybe. But you gotta talk about them
first.

Hey, you gonna be here tomorrow?

Will you?

Maybe. Well, then maybe I will.

You know, you ain't bad for a white
dude.

Alan, honey, Louise told me you were
here. Oh, hi, Mom.

This your mother?

Yeah. Not bad for a white dude, huh?

Uh, yeah.

Oh, hey, Brooke.

You don't miss nothing, do you?

It doesn't take long to say get out.

Mr. Andrews is throwing us out of the
building.

What? Yep, it looks like the help center
is through.

Closing, huh?

Figures.

Hey, bro, wait.

Hey, I said, man, I done heard enough of
your talk. I mean, you people can't

even help yourselves.

Well, I guess we might as well go in and
tell the others.

Yeah, but don't blame yourself, Louise.

You put up a good fight.

We still lost.

Hey, Hootie, this place is going out of
business?

Yeah, it looks like it.

Oh.

Where am I going to do my shopping?

Wheezy!

Where's Alan?

Aren't you going to ask me how things
went at the meeting?

Okay, how did things go at the meeting?

Terrible, George.

It was awful.

That's too bad. Where's Alan?

George, I don't know where Alan is. He
left the center about two hours ago.

Well, didn't you ask him about the
warehouse?

No, I forgot.

Forgot? Wheezy, how could you do this to
me? George, I've got other things on my

mind. It looks like we are going to have
to close down the help center.

Hello?

Of course I'm home, Florence. I answered
the phone, didn't I?

that all about? She's over at Bentley's.
She's been calling here every 10

minutes asking if you got home yet.

Alan! Alan, my man.

We were just talking about you. Louise
got something to ask you. Forget it,

George. If you want to ask Alan, ask him
yourself.

Okay, I will.

Alan, my man, about that warehouse you
inherited.

Sooner or later, you're gonna have to do
something with it, right?

Yep, you're right about that, Mr.
Jefferson.

So I've been doing a lot of thinking
about it, and I figured the best thing

you to do would be to lease it to a
friend at a good price.

Yeah? Hey, I know where you're coming
from, Mr. Jefferson, and I'm behind you

all the way. You are?

You hear that wheezy? He's with me all
the way.

I just came from a lawyer's office where
I worked out the whole thing.

Great! Mrs. Jefferson, do you have a
dollar?

Uh, yes, but... Thank you.

What's that for?

Mrs. Jefferson?

You've just bought yourself a brand new
help center building.

A brand new help center building?

I don't believe it.

Me neither.

You came out of the warehouse?

Well, I can't think of a better use for
that warehouse, can you? Are you

kidding?

And all the center has to do is pay the
taxes.

Oh, how can I ever thank you?

Well, maybe you could let me stay here
until I work things out with my dad.

Alan, you can stay as long as you like.
What are you saying?

Ta -da!

Miss Jefferson, you don't have to worry
about the health center no more because

we got the perfect solution for raising
money. You're too late. Forget it. Oh,

no, no, no. Wait till you see our act.
We'll raise a million dollars.

We're busy, Bentley.

You ready, Flo?

Hit it, Harold.

Oh!

The Jeffersons was videotaped in front
of a studio audience.
