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

Twenty.

Nope, only seven, but I plan to open
some more.

Oh, no, no, Jefferson. I was counting my
exercises.

Hey! Look out!

Thanks.

Man, if it wasn't for you, I'd have
dropped my drawers.

Yeah, Linda.

What? Oh, yeah, well, look. Tell Wilson
I have an answer for him as soon as I go

over the file on the brown store.

Right. Bye.

Helps me keep my arms in shape for all
the girls.

If there's one thing I believe in, it's
keeping in shape.

Say, how about you and me getting
together tomorrow morning, Jefferson?

Oh, sure. I'd love to go out for
breakfast. No, no, no. I mean to jog.

Jog? Well, uh... Yeah, we could take a
little five -mile run.

Oh, darn. I just remembered. I promised
to take my wife shopping tomorrow.

Shopping? At 6 o 'clock in the morning?

Oh, yeah. Well, see, Wheezy likes to
beat the crowd.

I'm telling you now.

I can beat any price your hotel pays for
laundry service. Well, that sounds

good. Why don't you quote me a price and
we'll talk about it. Now, here's what

you're going to need.

Number of towels, number of sheets,
number of uniforms. What's this number?

Oh, it's a phone number.

You won't be needing that.

She'll have all she can handle with me
tonight.

Right there. You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Just working a little hard lately. But
that's what you got to do to stay on

right? Wrong. A little work.

A little play.

Stay on top, you gotta have balance.

That's what I meant.

I've been working hard at balancing the
books.

Look, I'll have a price for you in a
minute.

What's that?

Quitting time.

Say what?

I never work past six. Hey, but I'm
almost done here.

Oh, sorry, Jefferson.

This is my time to play, and man, have I
got a playmate waiting for me tonight.

Got a date with an angel.

Gonna meet her at seven.

Wait, I got a figure. My girl's got a
better one.

Hey, what about the contract?

Tomorrow, Jefferson.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy.

It also makes Jack a lot of Jack, Jack.

Yeah, then.

What? Why ain't he working in the store?

Okay, send him in.

Mr. Jefferson?

What are you doing here, Leroy?

The store's open till 7. Well, don't
worry. I put out the clothes for

sign. What?

People think we're closed for the whole
week.

You should have used the after lunch
sign.

I thought of that.

But it's 6 o 'clock. Too late for lunch.

Ain't no vacation either, but your
brain's taking one.

I came over to tell you the van broke
down.

Well, why didn't you just call me on the
phone?

I thought of that.

But the messenger dropped these off.

You should have told the messenger to
bring them here. I thought of that.

But I was coming over anyway to tell you
about the van. Look, forget about it,

Ewan.

Just get back to the store fast. Here,
take a cab.

Okay. Well, who's going to drive the van
back?

What? I thought you said it wasn't
running. Well, it wasn't. But I fixed it

before I left.

Then why'd you bother to come?

Of course, I had to deliver those dumb
things.

They ain't dumb things.

They're financial reports.

My accountant sends them to me so I know
what's going on in my business.

Gee, I can tell you that.

This morning, a man brought in three
suits, a leather jacket, and then a

came in with some drinks.

Never mind, Leroy. Just get back to the
store.

Right.

Hey, wait a minute.

What about the cab money?

Forget it. I'm driving the van back.

Man, how can a normal -sized head hold
so much stupid?

Mr. Jefferson, will you be needing me
tonight?

Let me see. I gotta work up a price,
then I gotta go over these reports.

You'll be needing me tonight. I guess I
better get us something to eat. Yeah, I

guess you better. What do you want?

Hawkins business.

I don't think the deli carries that.

Then make it a Tom Willis sandwich.

Pardon? Turkey on white.

I'll be back in a few minutes.

Jefferson Cleaners.

Huh? Oh, hi, Weezy.

What?

No, I can't tonight. I gotta work.

Yeah, I know we had a date for dinner,
but this is more important.

What? Of course I love you, Weezy.

I know, but... Yeah.

Yeah, but... Look, don't... Wait for me.
I got to work at that. OK, bye.

Don't you understand?

It's hard work to put me here and it's
hard work is going to keep me here. And

if I'm here, how can I be out with you
at dinner?

me a favor, will you?

Wheezy!

Is that you?

Can you help me with this?

Oh, I get it. You're having a costume
party at the help center, and you're

dressed up like Miss Jane Pittman.

Ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha.

Sure is a fancy dress, Miss Jefferson.

Well, Florence, it's not every night you
celebrate a 25th anniversary.

What are you talking about, Wheezy?
We've been married longer than that.

Time sure flies.

Seemed like just yesterday I started
working here.

Wrong. You still haven't started.

Can you believe it? The Jefferson Clean
is still around after 25 years.

What are you talking about, Weezy? I've
only had those stores eight years.

Thank you, Florence.

You're welcome.

Damn it, Weezy. Will you say something?

Did you chill the champagne?

What champagne?

Yeah, it's in the refrigerator.

Now, just relax.

The party's going to be...

Answer me.

What the hell's going on around here?

Maybe the newspaper will say something
since nobody else cares.

I was getting ready to look at the
paper, if you don't mind.

Carter promises tax relief.

That's all they're going to do to his
promise.

At a special news conference today,
President Amy Carter...

November 23rd, 1996.

Ah!

I got it!

It's a dream!

I can see them, but they can't see me.

Hey! I'm dreaming about my future.

Oh!

All right.

Jefferson Cleaners is still around.

Wheezy still looks terrific.

Hey, this is great.

Ah, Mrs. J.

Felicitations are certainly apropos on
this momentous occasion.

Bentley still ain't learned how to speak
English.

Oh, Mr.

Bentley, come in. Thank you. I have some
wine for the celebration.

Oh, thank you, Mr. Bentley. It's a quite
rare vintage. I had a hard time finding

anything that old.

You seen Florence lately?

This is old.

1978.

Oh, hello, Helen.

Happy anniversary, Louise. Oh, thank
you.

Oh, where's Tom?

Yeah, where's the other half of the
zebra?

Right behind me. Oh, that's exactly
where his half belongs.

Damn it, Helen, not so fast.

say something, dear?

No, Tom.

I did your big half game.

Hey, what were you doing?

You almost squashed me.

Tom, Tom, remember our diet.

Did you say something, dear?

She said you're too fat.

Naughty, naughty.

Oh, Helen.

Anybody want a drink?

I'd love one.

Funny how Tom always hears that one
word.

What word?

Drink. No, thanks. Florence is already
getting me one.

Oh, wait, Florence. How about some
champagne?

Good idea.

Y 'all want some, too?

Florence.

Just kidding, Miss Jefferson.

Please, we're so excited tonight.
Imagine 25 years in the same business.

Things have turned out well, and I thank
you all for coming.

You lucky Caesar wanted to do the
inviting.

Damn!

I can't even get a drink in my own
dream?

Let's call it for a toast.

Um, friends and neighbors, we gather
here tonight to celebrate the silver

anniversary of the Jefferson Cleaners.
Oh,

I haven't finished.

25 years ago, George Jefferson was just
a poor, determined,

hardworking... Don't forget good
-looking.

Very small man with a dream. Hey, hey!

It started with one small store and
grew...

into a prosperous chain of 20 outlets
all over this city. 20 stores?

See that, Weasley? I told you all that
hard work would pay off. And so it is

with great honor and respect that I
say... Huh?

Oh, here, here.

Here's to the Jefferson Cleaners. A
dream come true.

Thank goodness.

Oh, what's wrong, Louise?

I was just thinking.

I wish George had lived to see this day.

Wheezy, what do you mean you wished I'd
lived? You talking like I was dead.

Damn batteries must be dead.

Shut up, Willis.

I'm not dead. I'm right here. Look.

Girl, we're all really proud of you. I'm
not dead.

Indeed, Mrs. J.

You rallied beautifully after Mr.

J's untimely passing.

Untimely passing? What happened?

I didn't have much choice. It happened
so suddenly.

How is he, huh?

How many years has it been, Louise?

Yeah, how many?

Let's see.

It's going on... How long? How long?

Seven years!

Seven years?

These batteries are supposed to last
seven years!

about it tomorrow, dear.

Ah. The first year was the worst. After
that, I managed to adjust to life

without George. You did?

It took me a while to adjust, too. It
wasn't easy getting used to all that

quiet. That's enough out of you.

George may have yelled at you a lot,
Florence, but deep down, he really liked

you. No, I didn't.

Well, actually, I do kind of miss the
little fella.

And I know that Tom misses George, too.

Why, it's been years since anybody's
called him Honky.

Honky, Honky, Honky, Honky!

Did someone call me?

No, dear, you must have been dreaming.

Oh. I miss George at first.

Then one morning I woke up and said to
myself,

Hell, Louise, it wasn't you who kicked
the bucket. Get out there and enjoy

Right on, girl.

Wheezy, what are you saying?

And from that day on, I haven't stopped
going.

Going where?

I'll say remember that year in Hawaii.

Yes, those winters in the Caribbean.

And don't forget that two -year cruise
around the world.

What did you do, Wheezy? Join the Harlem
Globetrotters?

Well, I could use a bit of fresh air.

Me too.

Good idea. Come on, Tom.

Maybe it'll wake him up.

Well, I'm not going out there without
something to keep me warm.

What

a

beautiful night, eh, Florence?

Uh -huh. Sure is clear.

Yeah, you can see clear to the next
building.

Wake up, Tom.

Huh?

just a mosquito.

You have to be more careful, Tom.

You nearly knocked over Florence's
drink.

Love wine.

Oh, it's chilly out here. I think I'll
go back inside.

Me too.

No champagne was supposed to keep you
warm.

Ha, what a fall!

Hey, you should have seen me, Weezy. I
fell 12 floors straight down and didn't

get a scratch. Look.

I landed on this awning, then I bounced
out into the street, and three cabs ran

over me before I even got up.

Doesn't anybody care?

Ralph, what a surprise.

Hello, Mrs. Jefferson, ma 'am.

Ralph, damn, you must be opening some
pretty fancy doors these days.

I couldn't let the anniversary of
Jefferson's Cleaners flip by without

you my congratulations.

Look out, Weezy, he wants a tip.

I wanted to give you a nice gift, but
what could a woman of your wealth

need? So, I decided on something with a
sentimental value.

That means you got you something cheap.

This hat is the hat I was wearing when
you moved into the building 22 years

Oh, Ralph.

Thank you.

I thought you might have it bronzed to
always remember me by.

It'd be better if we bronzed your hand.
We've seen more of that.

It's the least I can do, Mrs. Jefferson.
If it hadn't been for all your

husband's tips, I never could have
bought this building.

Bought this building?

Are you joking? Well, I've got to run.

My limousine is double parked.

Limousine? I forgot.

I brought your mail up from downstairs.

Old habits are hard to break. Thank you.

Ralph, you want a tip from me?

Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Jefferson.

Like I said, old habits are hard to
break.

Oh, wait, Ralph.

Wait right there.

Here. For old times' sake. Thank you,
Mrs. Jefferson.

$500.

Now that's a full tank of gas.

really throw the money around.

Well, George left me more than I could
possibly get rid of. You don't have to

give it away, Wheezy.

You know, somehow I've got the feeling
he's looking down at us right now.

That's funny.

I always kind of pictured him looking up
at us.

Well, I guess it's time to let you all
in on a surprise.

I've decided to sell the business.

Wheezy, are you crazy?

I work myself to death in those stores.

Who's buying the business, Miss
Jefferson?

Oh, the same person who's been running
it all these years. My brilliant general

manager, Leroy.

Oh, no.

You know everyone here.

Miss Willis? Hello, Florence.

Leroy, I want to thank you for doing
such a wonderful job.

Her brain don't know nothing about
running business?

There really isn't much to it, Mrs.
Jefferson. Once you balance the incoming

credits with the outgoing debits, then
all you have to do is combine the

tangible assets to the existing profit
margin to accrue a substantial cash flow

at a current international monetary
exchange rate.

Well, I... I hope Jefferson Cleaners
brings you as many rewards as it has me.

Weezy, they're my stars.

They are all yours, Leroy.

Thank you, Mrs. Jefferson.

Well, I better get back and take that
clothes for vacation sign out of the

window.

Weezy. And the rest of my surprise is
that I'm leaving for a cruise around the

world in just a few minutes. Another
cruise?

But this time I'm going with a friend.

Anyone we know, Louise? You see, he
should be here any minute.

Who's that singing?

Oh, it's my Romeo.

Sounds like he's coming over the
terrace.

Romeo!

Goodness,

you have a long... climb ahead of you.

Would you care to stop here for some
tea?

Louise, darling.

Brian, darling.

Darling! Nigga, get your hands off my
wife!

Doesn't Brian look terrific for his age?

Brian looks terrific for any age.

Oh, yeah? You wait till you see how he
looks when I'm finished with him.

Girls, I learned a long time ago that if
you want to beat life at its own game,

you've got to stop along the way and
smell the roses.

Hey, hey, man!

If only George had followed that advice,
he'd be alive today.

Well, ready to play, babe?

Sure am.

Your playing day's all over, turkey.

Good. Because I can't wait to be on a
slow boat with you.

You know there's a slight

draft in here.

I forgot my keys. I've got an 8 o 'clock
reservation at Chez Jacques, so I

can... I'm going to kill you. Jefferson.
I'm going to kill you. Crazy Jefferson.

I'm going to kill you.

Mr.

Jefferson, what's the matter?

Can you believe that jack turkey trying
to run off with my wife? Run off with

your wife? I thought he was here about
the contract. What contract?

What day is it? Tuesday.

What year?

Huh? Oh, my God.

Party!

Daddy, he's gone.

Oh, how could I be so stupid?

But it seems so real.

I just dreamed Weezy ran off with that
Brian.

And where were you?

I was dead from working so hard.

Oh, well, here's your sandwich. I'll be
at my desk if you need me.

Oh, you can go home, Linda.

But I thought we were working late.

No.

That dream made me change my mind.

I want you to call my wife and tell her
to put on her best dress up and take it

out to dinner. She'll be surprised.

Then I want you to call the florist and
order two dozen red roses. She'll be

thrilled. and then call Chez Jack's and
have their best champagne ready. She's

gonna faint.

No, no, no. The champagne ain't for my
wife. It's for Hawkins.

And make sure they put on the card, Dear
Brian, please join me at my table and

we'll make a great deal. You mean you're
gonna work tonight?

Sure. But didn't you learn anything from
your dream?

Yep, I learned it's gonna be a big
success and own 20 cleaning stores. Now

moving!
