All language subtitles for The Jeffersons s05e24 The Freeze In

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

I ain't never seen snow going up.

Be right back.

Where are you going?

Down to the store. Well, I thought you
closed up because of the snow.

Yeah, I did, but I got to get something
out of this safe. I got a little

surprise for Weezy.

A surprise?

Yeah. Tomorrow is the anniversary of our
first date. And you know, Weezy paid

for that date.

And she's been paying for it ever since.

And she gets mad at me every year
because I always forget. But this year

going to be different because at
midnight, I got a special surprise for

What you gonna do, turn into a handsome
prince?

No, I'm gonna give her a diamond
necklace.

Diamond necklace?

Yeah. Real diamond? That's right. You
know what they always say.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

Well, in my case, they ain't even
acquainted.

Oh, it's terrible out there.

We even had to close the help center.

Oh, I'll be back in a minute. I gotta
run down to the store.

You better wear a warmer coat.

Yeah, well, I would wear your mink, but
the cops might pick me up.

George is barely above zero.

Ain't that a blip. The temperature
matches my paycheck.

And your IQ.

Oh, hello, Mr. J.

Hi, Bentley.

Bye, Bentley.

You know, that's the first time I've
seen your door slam from this side.

Can I help you, Mr. Bentley? Oh, yes.

You see, I'm having a problem with my
budgie.

Pardon?

With my parakeet, Chester, I'm afraid
he's catching a cold.

How can you tell? Has he been blowing
his beak a lot?

Sorry.

I was wondering if I could warm him up
over here. You see, the heat's not

working in my apartment.

Oh, no.

Yes, and I'm afraid that's why Chester's
been acting so sluggish. He hasn't said

a word all day.

Oh. I didn't know your bird could talk.

Oh, yes, I've already trained him to say
thank you and you're welcome.

Really?

Maybe you should come over here and
train George.

Oh, hi, Tom. Helen, come in. Louise,
guess what?

Your heat's out.

No, our... How did you know that?

Because my heat's out, too.

Oh, hi, Mr. Bentley.

Did anybody call maintenance?

Yes, I did. And you should have heard
what she called them.

Ralph said there might be a whole line
of apartments out. He's trying to get

someone to fix it now.

Oh, well, why don't you stay here until
they fix it? Oh, thank you, Louise. We'd

love to.

Hello, Mrs. Jefferson, ma 'am. Hello,
Ralph.

Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Willis. Mr. Bentley.

Ralph, have you talked to someone about
the heating? Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Willis.

Yes, sir. And that's why I'm here.

It wasn't easy getting through to them,
but I neglected all of my other duties

just to contact the heating company for
you, Mr. Willis.

Bravo, Ralph.

Yes, sir, Mr. Bentley.

And once I got through to the company,
it wasn't easy getting them to listen to

me. But I told them you were a very
important man, sir, working for the U

and all, sir.

Thank you, Ralph.

Maybe I should be telling this to Mr.
Jefferson.

Ralph, what about the heat?

Oh, yes, ma 'am.

I finally told them it was a matter of
life and death, and they said they'd

treat it as an emergency rush job.

Oh, that's good. They're going to send
one over the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow?

I tried, Mr. Willis. I'm sorry. I wish
there was something else I could do.

I'd suggest a hotel, but it's impossible
to get to one in all this snow. Ah,

it's not your fault, Ralph.

Thanks for your trouble.

Yes, sir.

Just doing my job, sir.

Oh.

An important job it is, sir.

Then you better go do it, Ralph.

Yes, ma 'am.

I'll get right back on it.

I must be losing my touch.

Well, I'm afraid we're in for a cold
night.

Oh, don't worry. You can all stay here.

Here? Sure, why not?

Well, there's one reason.

Oh, George won't mind.

Won't mind what?

Well, Mr. Bentley and the Willis's don't
have any heat, so I invited them to

stay here tonight.

Hey, where the hell is everybody going
to sleep?

Well, Alan's in Vermont.

Why don't they go sleep with him up
there?

He's so cute.

You two can use Alan's room, and Mr.

Bentley can sleep on the couch.

Oh, why don't we have a pajama party?

Splendid idea, and we can hold it here
in my room.

I got a better idea. You can hold it in
your apartment.

Oh, come on, George.

A pajama party sounds like fun, doesn't
it? No.

Well, I have a whole chicken in the
refrigerator.

I'll bring it down.

Helen, you don't have to do that.

Right. You already brought down a big
turkey.

A bottle of champagne I've been saving
for a special occasion.

Great. Let's go, Helen. I'll help you
bring some stuff down. Wheezy, I don't

think this is going to work.

Oh, come on, George. It'll be fun.

What's going on out here?

Bentley and the Willisons ain't got no
heat in their apartment, so Wheezy

invited them down here to spend a night
with us.

Well, look on the bright side. Now
you'll have an audience when you give

Jefferson her big surprise.

Huh? Yeah, they're all going to see them
big diamonds you got her.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

They'll all see what a sweet, wonderful,
generous person I am. Yeah, you'll fool

them all.

You know, Lee, I'm kind of glad the heat
in our apartment went out.

I know what you mean, Alan. It's nice to
spend an entire evening with good

friends. Yeah, I wish some of my good
friends were here.

Just kidding, Willis. I know we're all
going to have a good time.

It's just what every pajama party needs.

Popcorn. Oh, man. Great.

Wonderful. Thank you, Florence.

Say, how about a game of charades?

Wonderful. I'd love to play that. Oh,
couldn't we play something else?

Yeah. Let's play pinnacle on the hockey.

You know,

remembered a marvelous game. It's such
fun. I don't know why I ever stopped

playing it. It's called Nobody's
Perfect.

Oh, a game especially for George.

How do you play it? Well, first we need
something to serve as a blindfold.

Oh, well, how about this dust cloth?
It's clean.

Of course it's clean. You ain't never
used it.

All right, now who wants to go first?

Oh,

Splendid, Mr. Willis.

I'll just tie this on you here.

Now, once your eyes are covered, I'm
going to say the word go, and everybody

to change feet very fast, you see?

Then, when I say the word stop, everyone
freezes, and you have to point at

someone. Then you remove your blindfold,
and whoever it is you're pointing at,

he or she has to tell you what they like
most about you. Oh, that should be

easy. And what they like least about
you. That should be even easier.

Can you see?

No. All right, let's go.

Take out

your blindfold.

Go ahead, Mrs. Willis. Tell your husband
what it is you like most about him.

Let's see.

What do I like about Tom?

Oh, there's so many things.

But what I like most is that Tom is a
man of conviction who stands up for what

he believes in.

Well,

thank you, Helen.

And now you must say what you like least
about him. Oh, she'll have to think a

long time about that.

No, I won't.

What I like least about you is your lack
of willpower.

Oh, what do you mean by that?

I mean your diet.

Tom goes on a diet in the morning, and
by lunchtime, he's off.

Simply can't resist food.

Hey, I got a way to stop Tom from eating
so much. How?

Serving Florence's cooking.

How do you know about my cooking? You
don't stop talking long enough to taste

it.

All right, Mrs. Willis, it's your turn.
Oh, Mr. Willis. Come on.

Here we are. Here it is.

Come on.

Louise, do you think I'm fat?

Well, no. Oh, thank you.

All right, now, are we ready? And let's
go!

And stop!

Oh, good, you pointed at Mr.

J.

Can I try it again?

Go ahead, Mr. J. Tell Mrs. Willis what
it is you like most about her. Well...

on, George. I'm sure you can say
something nice.

Yeah, there's one thing I like about
Helen, but I don't want her to get the

wrong idea.

Oh, I'm sure she'd love to hear it.

Well, of all the women I know as old as
you... What?

What I meant was, for a woman your age,
you look better than any woman I know.

Oh.

Gee, George, I can't believe you'd say
something so sweet.

Why not? I'm a sweet guy.

Hey, Louise.

Oh, yes, you sure are.

George, can I talk to you in the kitchen
for a minute?

But, Wheezy, I ain't told Helen what I
don't like about her yet. Oh, George,

that can wait. Besides, you're too sweet
to say anything bad.

Hey, don't go nowhere. I ain't got a lot
to say to you yet.

George,

what did you mean by that?

By what?

By what you said to Helen.

That she looked better than any woman
you know.

But, Wheezy, that's part of the game. I
had to say something nice about her.

But what about me?

She didn't point to you.

I don't mean that.

Don't you think I look good anymore?

Of course you do.

Then why don't you ever say it?

Okay, you look better than any woman I
know. Oh, you're just saying that.

Acting silly?

You're my wife.

You don't have to look good.

Oh, look, what I mean is, like, we just
spend so much time together, I forget

how good you really look.

Well, I'll fix that.

Now, maybe if we don't spend any time
together tonight, I'll look better to

in the morning.

Oh, but, Wheezy, wait!

Oh, I understand perfectly, Helen. You
think I'm fat.

Tom, that's not what I said. Watch it,
fatso.

Wheezy, come out here this minute!

Well, since I'm already too fat, I...
I'm going into the kitchen to have a

of pie.

Oh, Tom, stop acting so childish.

Really, what is with you?

Some game, Mr. Benton.

Yes, now I remember why I stopped
playing it.

on a big surprise.

You hear me?

Okay, look.

Have it your way, but I'm going to bed
now.

By myself.

What you got to say about that?

George. Yes?

Mr.

Jefferson. Shut up. Mr.

Jefferson.

Well, if it ain't gonna be no big
surprise, I'm going to bed, too. Good

Good night.

If you think I'm fat now, Helen, just
wait till I finish this.

Tom, please.

I'll be as big as a house.

Mr. Benson.

Is he gone?

Who? George. Oh, yes, he went to bed.

Good.

Helen, do you mind if I sleep with you
in Alan's room?

I'd rather not sleep with George
tonight.

Well... Oh, of course she doesn't mind.

She'd rather sleep with you than with
me. I might roll over and squash her.

Tom, I give up.

Come on, Louise. Let's go to bed.

Well, I suppose I may as well turn in,
too.

Oh, yeah.

That's a good idea.

Wait a minute, Bentley.

This means that one of us has to sleep
with George.

Well, Mr. J has already assigned me to
the sofa.

Now, Bentley, let's handle this like
adults.

Oh, I know.

I'll play you paper, rocks, and
scissors.

All right, and the winner gets the sofa.

Good. Are you ready? Yes.

One, two, three.

Paper covers rock.

Ow.

Want to try two out of three?

Sleep tight, Mr. Willis.

So you decide to sleep... me after all,
huh?

Well, if you think I'm gonna roll over
and give you a big kiss, forget it.

Well, that's a relief.

What the hell are you doing in here?
Well, paper covers rock.

Say what?

Look, George, there isn't any place else
for me to sleep.

Try sleeping in your own bed.

It's freezing up there. I turned blue.

Better blue than white.

I don't like this any more than you do.

Okay, okay, look, Willis, you gotta
sleep here. Just lie down and go to

and shut up.

The sooner we get to sleep, the sooner
this lousy day will be over.

Agreed.

What are you doing?

George, do you mind if I sleep on that
side of the bed?

What's wrong with the side you're
sleeping on?

Well, it's just that that side is my
side. Wrong.

This side is my side.

who sleeps where. Now just lie down and
go to sleep.

What are

you

trying to do?

I'm sorry, George, but I really can't
sleep unless I'm on the right side of

bed. Okay, you gotta sleep on the right
side. Why don't you just put some pillow

at the foot of the bed and turn your
body around?

Hey, that's not a bad idea. Thanks,
George.

You can't get to sleep unless everything
is just right.

Hold it, Willis. You got my pill.

I almost

forgot.

What, ma 'am?

I forgot to do my exercises.

Exercise. Yes, I always do ten sit -ups
every night before going to bed.

If you want to exercise, exercise on the
floor.

Oh, it's too cold.

Oh,

look what I've had with you.

Now, this bed ain't big enough for both
of us. George, this is a king -sized

bed. Right, and I'm the king, and you're
giving me a royal pain.

Where are you going? To my throne.

Good night.

Good night.

You're welcome.

Good night.

Good night.

Just, just did it. Oh, good boy. Come
on, I'll get you a birdie bonbon.

Thank you. Oh, you're welcome.

Oh, hi, Florence. What are you doing up?
Giving something to eat. I couldn't

sleep. Me neither.

I think I could use a snack, too.

Yeah, I guess it's no fun sleeping
without your husband on your

huh?

Anniversary? Yeah, of your first date
with Mr. Jefferson.

Oh, that's not until next week.

Well, Mr. Jefferson thinks it's
tomorrow. And at midnight, he wanted to

first one to say happy anniversary.

Oh, Florence, I'm glad you told me this.

Oh, sometimes George can be so sweet,
even when he makes me mad.

I thought you were George.

Oh, look, Tom.

I changed my mind about sleeping with
George tonight. Is that okay with you?

Okay? Oh, Louise, you're a lifesaver.

But what about Helen?

Do you think she'll want me to sleep
with her? I think she'd love you to

with her. Oh, yeah. I guess you're
right.

After all, there's so much of me to
love.

Well, Willis, I see you've finally
finished your exercises.

Now maybe we can get some sleep.

You know, at midnight it's going to be
the anniversary of the first time I went

out with Weezy, and here I am spending
it with you.

This is the first time I didn't forget
it.

I even bought a brand new diamond
necklace.

Diamonds?

It sounds like you're catching a cold.

I'll never forget that first date. We
went to Corny Island.

We rode on the Tunnel of Love three
times.

Wheezy wouldn't let me kiss her, though.

But the third time through the tunnel,
she reached out and held my hand.

You know something?

Even today, when me and Wheezy hold
hands, I always get that same feeling.

So do I, George.

George, you didn't really think I could
sleep without you, did you?

Especially on our anniversary.

Who is it?

It's me.

Ralph here. He said to tell you that
he's working again at Bentley's and at

Willis's. Well, that's good news.

Well, the bad news is that I ain't
working in this apartment.

What are we going to do?

I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm
going to spend the night at the

Willis's. And they said you invited,
too.

Oh, well, tell Helen thanks, Florence.

But George just reminded me that this is
the anniversary of our first date.

Anniversary? But you said... And I think
we'd like to spend it alone.

Okay, I'll see you in the morning.

What are we going to do about the cold?

Oh, George.

I'm sure you can think of some way to
keep us warm.

Right.

I'll get the electric blanket.

I was just kidding.

The Jeffersons was videotaped in front
of a studio audience.
