All language subtitles for The Jeffersons s06e11 Me and Mr G

Well, we're moving on up, we're moving
on up to the...

I've heard enough elephant jokes.

How do you keep an elephant from
charging?

Lawrence.

You take away his credit card.

Oh, Lord, if that ain't a mess.

I just hope Abby likes it here.

You know, if everything goes well,
orphans from all over the city will get

chance to stay in homes like ours.

It should be good for them.

I think the help center should be real
proud of you for thinking up that

program. Thank you.

I also think if you don't put that panda
bear down, you two might get engaged.

Morning, George.

Morning, Louise.

Franz, give me my breakfast.

Hey, wait a minute, Mr. Jefferson.

See if you can figure this one out.

Why did the elephant turn around on his
way to the airport?

Say what?

Just say I don't know.

For what?

did the elephant turn around on his way
to the airport?

I'm not gonna say it, Florence.

Where is the doll I bought for Abby?

I don't know. Because he forgot to pack
his trunk.

You get it, Mr. Jefferson? He forgot to
pack his trunk.

Okay, I got one for you. Why did the
hungry boss fire his lazy maid?

It's folks like you that kill
vaudeville.

if you don't get my breakfast.

Oh, George, about your breakfast. The
funniest thing happened when Florence

I went shopping. We got so busy picking
up things for Abby's breakfast, we

completely forgot about yours.

I guess you had to be there.

So what am I supposed to do?

Well, you got a choice between chocolate
choo -choos, animal puffs, And

something special for you.

Honey -coated peewees.

Don Weasley, how could you forget my
breakfast?

It slipped my mind. But you don't have
to stand there and act like a child.

I ain't act like no child.

Where you going?

To get my animal pups.

Oh, my God, it's Abby.

Sit here and be calm.

Now, just be yourself and everything
will be fine.

Did I forget anything?

Yeah, unless you expected her to come in
through the keyhole.

Mrs.

Jefferson? Mr. Curry?

Yes, from the Eastview Children's Home.
And this is Abby Lawson.

Oh, isn't she precious?

How are you, Abby?

Hey, Abby. My name is Florence.

You want to see your room?

Go ahead, Abby. It's all right.

So far, so good.

I'm sure once she gets used to us, she
will have a great time.

I wish I could share your enthusiasm.

But lots of orphans are withdrawn, and
personally, I think that these programs

should be left to more qualified people.

Well, thanks for the encouragement.

For that, you can thank my supervisor.

You see, Mrs. Owens is more of a social
romantic than I am.

Maybe that's why she's your supervisor.

I'll come back in a week for Abby.

In case there's something you can't
handle, you've got my number.

I've got your number, all right.

Hey, Abby.

What's great?

Weighs 10 ,000 pounds and goes ding
-dong.

I think she'd rather do something else.

Do you want to play with some games?

Or watch TV?

Look, Abby, we want to be your friends,
but we can't unless you meet us halfway.

All right?

I can't tell, Miss Jefferson. Does she
meet us yet or not?

I think she passed us right by.

Oh, I bet I know what you want.

I've got a doll here that talks.

At least something will be talking.

Oh, George, this is Abby.

Hey, Abby.

Come on over and have some of my animal
pups.

Hey, what the bet?

I think we just found the doll.

Who put this here? I could have had a
heart attack and drowned in Miami.

Sorry, George.

Abby, would you like to play with Wanda
Wetsy?

Wanda Wetsy, huh?

I knew that.

You're funny.

Oh, you think so, huh?

Yeah. And I think you're cute.

Thank you.

Hey, you like animal puffs?

Just the elephants.

Me too. Hey, that reminds me. I got a
good elephant joke.

Why?

Forget the package trunk.

I don't know.

So he could turn around in the airport.

That was wrong.

So what?

Here,

make the doll wet you again. No.

Come on, Abby. Let's go put your things
away.

Okay.

Well, never mind. Florence and I were
planning to take you shopping this

morning. We can go out right now and buy
you a new toothbrush and pajamas.

Oh, thank you.

Come on, let's go.

Can I stay here with Mr.

Jefferson? Oh, come with us, Abby. I'll
tell you some more jokes.

Please, can I stay?

But, Abby... Of course you can stay with
me.

Oh, boy!

Well, all right, Abby, if that's what
you want.

We'll be back in an hour.

Thanks for breaking the ice with Abby,
George.

This program means so much to me.

Well, you know me, Weez. I don't know
why, but I just get along good with

Maybe it's because you're the same size.

That's not funny.

Okay, what should we do?

We could talk.

Hey, good idea.

You can learn a lot from me.

We could talk while I finish eating my
animal puffs.

Come on, you sit right next to me, okay?

Okay. Let's talk.

Did you see the

Knicks game last night?

How's school?

It's okay.

All week long, the teacher talks.

You know how to play farmhouse fun?

No. Okay, let me see.

Each player selects an animal of his
choice. Mr. Bow Wow, Mr. Nay Nay, Mrs.

Quack Quack, or Miss Moo Moo. The first
player then

throws the dice, okay, while spinning
the weather wheel.

If the wheel lands on rain, Mr. Nay Nay
must... gallops three spaces

clockwise, while Mrs. Quack -Quack
waddles two spaces counterclockwise.

Wait a minute.

The wheel lands on rain.

You know how to shoot dice?

No. Okay, I'll show you. Come on.

First, you just get down on your knees
like this.

You mean you have to pray?

Sure. You pray for a 7 or 11.

You don't want to get craps.

Craps? Yeah, that's 2, 3, or 12.

Craps. That's the name of the game.

I'll get it.

Why, hello there.

You must be Abby. I wanted to meet you.

I'm afraid so.

I'm Tom Willis. Crap!

Hello, George.

How's the weather down there?

Great, until a big eclipse came and
blocked out the pun.

What do you want?

Well, I thought maybe Abby would like
these books from my publishing company.

They're hot off the press.

Big deal. So is my suit.

Yes, he sure is.

Here, dear.

Thank you for the book.

Oh, you're welcome.

Ready, Abby?

Yeah. Come on, baby, hit me.

Ha!

What's it to me?

It means you win, Abby.

Oh, boy!

Okay, go ahead.

Come on, baby, hit me.

Eleven. You win again, Abby. Keep
shooting.

Look. You met her, now beat it.

Okay, George.

But I'll be back after she teaches you
how to play.

Hey, wait a minute, Willis, hold it.
Before you go, I got something to show

Oh, what's that?

This.

Oh, is it yours, George?

No, it's Abby's.

Go ahead, hug it. Oh, like this?

Oh,

it's very sweet, George.

Mr. Willis loves it when I call him
that.

Are all people who are white called
honkies?

Well, the men are.

The women are honkettes.

Okay, go ahead.

Shoot your craps.

This is fun, Mr.

G. Mr. G?

I told you you'd learn a lot from me.

It's okay if I call you that, isn't it?

After all, we are friends.

Sure it is. You can call me whatever you
want.

I'll get it, Mr.

King.

Hello,

Abby. You left your other bag in the
car.

Who is it this time?

David Curry, Eastview Children's Home.

Shooting traps.

You know, trap shooting.

When you go in the woods and shoot a
wild trap.

Where is Mrs. Jefferson?

At the store.

What is she doing, buying a roulette
wheel?

Mr. Jefferson, you're supposed to set a
good example for Abby.

I knew that.

Well, don't forget it.

Goodbye, Abby. Goodbye.

She meant goodbye, donkey.

I mean... Who taught you to say honky?

Mr. Cheetah.

I thought so.

Come along, Abby.

Hey, wait a minute, Kurt. What are you
doing?

I'm taking her back, Mr. Jefferson.
You've done enough harm.

But she was... She was...

Well, she's not right here.

What I mean is, uh, she... Oh, I get it.
She's playing hide -and -seek, right?

Oh, well, I'm a champ at that game. I'll
bet I can find her. I bet you can't.

Tell me when I'm getting more.

In a couple of minutes, you're gonna be
hot.

Real hot.

Uh -oh, Miss Jefferson, something's
wrong.

He's got that weaselly look about him.

Okay, George, what's the matter?

Well, Mr. Curry came and took Abby back
to the orphanage.

What? That's right. It's all Helen
Willis' fault.

Helen Willis? Right, because if she
didn't marry Tom, he wouldn't have come

here and bugged me enough to make me
call him something which Abby picked up

called Mr. Curry.

Lord, the child done called the man a
honky.

All right, Weasley, come on, let's go up
and give Helen Willis a piece of our

mind. Get back here, George.

How could you do something like that?
Look, three months it took me to get

program off the ground, and you had to
ruin it. I'm sorry, Weasley. Not half as

sorry as you're going to be if I can't
get this thing straightened out. Where

are you going? To the children's home.

Oh, good, I'll go with you. I'll help
you. No!

You stay here.

You've caused enough trouble already.

Miss Jefferson, you want me to do
anything?

Yes. Make sure George doesn't start
thinking.

Well, that shouldn't be no problem.

Flawsless.

You're doing it again.

I'm telling you, Mrs. Owens, that...
Jefferson character has to be the

oldest juvenile delinquent. David,
please don't shout. I've already got a

headache from teaching that finger
painting class.

Take an aspirin. They painted the
aspirins.

Come in.

Oh, Mr.

Curry, I'm glad I found you. There's
been a terrible mistake. I know. I met

Hello, Mrs. Jefferson.

Oh, hello, Mrs. Owens.

It's nice seeing you again.

It doesn't look like you had much
success with her. She's as withdrawn as

But Abby was responding.

Weren't you, Abby?

Maybe we should speak in private.

Come along, Abby.

I'll get you some coloring books.

Mr. Curry, George and Abby were getting
along just great. Abby was talking. Yes,

calling people honky.

But all she did was copy George.

She didn't know what she was saying.

Most of the time, George doesn't know
what he's saying.

Hey, Curry, I want to talk to you.

George, Tom, what are you two... Please,
I'll take care of this. Mr.

Curry, this is my favorite neighbor and
very best friend.

Mr. Tom Willis.

I'm the guy George called a honky.

See, we're such good friends, I can call
him anything.

Right, honky?

Right.

See, he loves it when I call him that.
Don't you, honky?

I sure do.

You pipsqueak.

So, the Lord?

Half pint.

Who you calling half pint?

George, I'm just trying to help.

Well, you should help. This is all your
fault anyway.

My fault? You're the one who called me
honky. Well, I wouldn't have to if you

were black like you should be.

Now, where were we?

Who's she?

Uh, this is Mrs. Owens, Mr.

Curry's supervisor.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Jefferson, but I don't
see any reason to continue this program.

What?

I told Mr.

Curry he shouldn't be mad at you.

It was my fault.

It wasn't your fault, Abby. It was Mr.

G's fault.

How can it be Mr.

G's fault?

He's an old guy.

Yes.

But sometimes he acts like a child.

Abby, look.

What we're just trying to say is that...

Mr. Willis doesn't like to be called a
honky any more than Mr. Curry does.

Then why did you call him a honky?

Well, because I'm kind of stupid
sometimes.

See, when I was growing up, a lot of
white people used to call me names. So I

used to call them names back.

It was just our way of hurting each
other.

Why would people want to hurt each
other?

That's a good question, Abby.

Even I ain't smart enough to answer
that.

Just remember, sometimes us old guys say
things without thinking.

So you shouldn't repeat everything you
hear us say. You got it? Got it, Mr.

G. Okay.

Good. Now you take good care of yourself
here, and I promise I'll come and see

you, okay? Wait a minute, Mr. Jefferson.

Yeah? Well, despite your unorthodox
methods, it's obvious you have a way

Abby. I don't know what it is, but... I
do.

We're both the same size.

something here.

David, what do you think?

Well, I think... I think... What do you
think?

I think Abby should spend the week with
the Jefferson's. Oh, boy!

Yeah! Then I could play some more games
and go shopping with Mrs. Weezy and

Mr. Jesus.

Mrs. Owens.

Oh, George, sometimes you make me so
proud of you. Yeah, Wheezy, I know.

Hey, Abby, how about a piggyback?

Yeah. Well, bye -bye.

See you. Bye. Bye, Abby. Bye. Abby,
don't forget your doll.

Oh.

Oh, thank you.

Mrs. Wheezy bought it for me. Oh, she's
very pretty. What's her name?
