All language subtitles for The Jeffersons s07e01 Marathon Men

Well, we're moving on up, moving on up,
to the east side, moving on up, to a

deep...

Play money makes him drool.

Come on, baby.

Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.

Eleven.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten, eleven.

You skipped over all my hotels.

The accommodations didn't appeal to me.

Okay, hey, you go ahead and laugh, will
you? But you can't hide out at the B &O

Railroad forever.

Okay?

Who cares? It's only a game.

Congratulations, Mr. Willis.

Hi, Mom, Pop. Mom, Pop, Florence.

Oh, my Lord.

I just ran over to get that cookbook you
said you'd loaned Jenny.

You ran all the way over here for a
cookbook?

Hey, after the meal Jenny made last
night, no distance is too far.

I'll see if I can find the book for you.

That shouldn't be hard. It's the only
thing in the kitchen you haven't burned.

Come to think of it, it might be in the
bathroom.

Bathroom? Yeah, it could be one of the
books Mr. Jefferson stands on to reach

the saint.

Well,

Jenny tells me that you've signed up for
next week's marathon.

Yeah. Marathon?

You going to be answering telephones for
Jerry Lewis?

That's a telethon, George.

A marathon's a 26 -mile race.

What? You go to about 26 miles?

Are you crazy?

Huh? Do you know how far 26 miles is?

That's about twice around Willard.

Here you go, Len. Oh, thanks, Swans.

I see everybody. I got to run.

Can't you stay a while?

No, every run in New York comes out
about now.

If I don't get going, it'll be Adidas to
Adidas all the way home.

Bye.

has the right idea. Running is a
terrific sport.

Now, how would you know?

I've done my share of it. I was on the
track team in college.

Oh, what were you, one of the high
hurdles?

George, Tom used to be in great shape.

What do you mean, used to be? I still
am.

You ran out of breath going around the
Monopoly board.

Well, at least my legs don't look like
they belong in a bucket at Colonel

Sanders.

Look, my legs could outrun those logs of
yours any day.

Could not. Could to.

Couldn't. Could. Couldn't, couldn't,
couldn't. All right, that's true. If we

out in the hallway right now, I'd race
you down the hallway.

Well, that's hardly a test of endurance.
How about down the hallway and back?

Better than that.

We'll race you down the block, unless
you're afraid of sweat.

I'm not afraid of it. anything.

Well, let's go to Central Park, and I'll
race you around the reservoir a few

times. Okay, look, you're such a hot
shot. We're racing that thing next week

with Jerry Lewis.

You're on. You've got yourself a race.
All right.

Are you kidding? Neither one of you guys
can run 26 miles.

Look, I won't have to. Whoever runs the
farthest wins, and the shape he's in, I

only got to run 10 yards.

Oh, yeah?

Well, come on, Helen. I've got some
training to do.

Chicken legs.

Hippo hips.

I can't wait. I'm going to kill him. I'm
going to leave him in the dust.

Just make sure to leave your will where
I can find it.

Don't worry about me. Worry about the
spectators.

Why? Because when Willis collapses, who
knows how many innocent bystanders are

going to be crushed to death.

Well,

so long, George. We're off to the health
center.

That must be some training diet you're
on, George.

Shouldn't you be working out?

I am working out. I'm eating Florence's
cake.

Lifting it is like pumping iron.

Here's your whipped cream.

Florence,

George is going to run in that marathon
soon.

Whipped cream and cake won't help him.

I know.

I have a bet on Mr. Willis.

What? You bet on Willis? Knowing that
I'm a natural athlete?

Knowing that I have been blessed with
the reflexes of a cat?

Knowing that I never give up?

You bet on Willis?

Everything I own.

George, Helen said...

Tom is serious about this race.

He's even rented equipment to help get
himself in shape. He ain't got to rent

equipment. All he's got to do is tie a
stick to his head and put a Twinkie on

the front of it.

Laugh if you want to, George, but Tom's
even put himself on a special diet. Oh,

I'm scared.

I'm going to go out and buy some boots
so I can shake in them.

I'll show you how scared I am.

George would win with ease if his feet
ran like his mouth.

Here you go.

I can't. I think I can. I think I can.

Oh, thank goodness.

George,

I didn't expect to see you till the
race.

Yeah, well, you know, I figured I'd just
run upstairs and see how you're doing.

Don't mind me.

I'll just eat this cake.

Don't do this, George.

What?

I'll just watch you work out while I eat
this rich.

Delicious cake with three layers of
thick frosting.

This is really low.

See how the fork just glides?

And the way the chocolate glistens with
beads of moisture.

Go ahead, Willis. Suck it down.

No, I won't be tempted.

I do need energy, though.

Oh, I think I'll have a tall, cool glass
of raw eggs. Cake's got eggs in it.

George, why don't you stop trying to
sabotage me and start getting into

I don't have to get into shape. I'm in
shape.

Oh.

George, are you all right? Yeah, that
felt better. This run is terrific.

Oh, what are you looking at?

The agony of defeat.

Ain't that something you should be
doing?

Mm -hmm. I should be down at the bank
borrowing some more money to bet on Mr.

Willis.

George, are you sure you're all right?
Yeah, Whizzy!

Well, George, when I hear a man shriek
in agony, I usually feel he's in pain.

Oh, see, that's your trouble. He's
always jumping to conclusion.

Lionel, will you tell your father that
he's going overboard trying to beat Tom

Willis? Pop, you're going overboard
trying to beat Tom Willis.

Listen to your son, George.

Lionel, tell your mother she should be
glad I'm taking an interest in physical

fitness. Mommy should be glad he's
taking an interest in physical fitness.

Listen to your son, Willis.

Look, I got to go.

See, I want to get a few more hours
running so I can build up an appetite.

See, Jenny's trying to want a new recipe
tonight, and it'll help if I'm

starving. No need to walk me to the
door, Pop.

Bye. Go on, Lionel.

George, you are acting like a child.

If you had any sense, you would get
together with Tom and call this thing

Neither one of you is in shape.

Yeah, maybe right, Weezy. I'm in shape.

I'm a running machine.

But I should be thinking about poor
Willis. I mean, he's probably got aches

pains all over that wide load.

Yeah. In interest of his health, maybe
I'll let him off the hook.

Do you mean that? Sure.

If Tom agrees to drop out, you'll cancel
this whole thing?

Why not? I don't want to be known as
George the Widowmaker.

Oh, that's wonderful.

I'll run up and tell Helen. Oh, George,
you're doing the right thing, and I'm so

proud of you.

Even my face hurts.

Hi, Helen.

Hi, Louise.

Welcome to Jack Mullane's.

Boy, Tom really went to town.

No, he went to bed.

He's in pain.

So is George.

Oh, you know, Louise, this thing has
really gotten out of hand.

Well, I have good news. I spoke to
George, and if it's okay with Tom, he's

willing to call the race off. Oh,
Louise, that's wonderful.

I'm sure Tom will agree.

I hope so.

I've really been worried about this
race.

So have I.

competitive. Oh, I don't know.

But can you picture Tom and George
trying to run 26 miles?

Not without laughing.

That would have been some sight.

Yes, especially George.

Especially George.

Well, George is not in the greatest
shape.

That's true.

But neither is Tom.

Well, you're right. But Tom has had
athletic training. And George hasn't.

But you'd never know that by looking at
Tom now.

Well, I don't exactly remember seeing
mussel sprouting on George's scrawny

little body.

Yeah? Well, at least my husband doesn't
have his clothes made by Goodyear.

Well, thank goodness Tom doesn't have
skinny little legs like George.

You could pick your teeth with those
sticks.

Yeah?

Well, at least when my husband goes to
the beach... he doesn't have to cover

harpoon scars.

Well, it is too bad that George weaseled
out of the race because Tom would have

creamed him.

Only if he sat on him.

Well, I guess we'll never know, will we?

Oh, yes, we will.

Because George is running Sunday.

You just make sure you tow your husband
there.

What do you want?

Didn't Wheezy tell you the good news?

I'm letting the great white dope drop
out of the race.

I just couldn't really let him thank me
personally.

George, the race is on.

What, Wheezy? Shut up. This doesn't
concern you.

See those legs?

Yeah, you get Tom out here.

There she blows.

Move it, George.

You got work to do. I ain't got no work
to do. Oh, yes, you do. And don't worry

about the elevator.

You're taking the stairs.

Pick them up, boys.

Come in,

Ralph. It's open.

Come on in, Ralph. The door is open.

It's open!

The door is open!

Excuse me, sir. Did you say the door was
open?

What do you mean?

It was supposed to be an hour ago. Oh,
sir, you don't know the trouble I had to

go through to get this map. The phone
calls I had to make, the places I had to

go. Never mind that. Just show me the
map. Yes, sir.

Look, don't worry about it. Florence is
off and Weezer's at the help center. Oh,

that's very good, sir. Now, okay.

This is the map of Central Park. The red
line is the route of the race. Uh -huh.

Right there is the starting point.

Okay, now, this is exactly what we're
going to do, okay?

As soon as the race starts...

I'll sprint ahead and run about a mile,
then I'll duck into these bushes where

you'll be hiding.

Bushes? Oh, sir, there may be poison
ivy. It makes me break out something

Can I tell you you're getting $100 for
this? I'll buy some lotion.

Okay.

Once I get into the bushes, we'll cut
across this trail out to this road right

here where you'll have a cab waiting.

We'll get in the cab, then we'll go to
lunch at Grimaldi's restaurant here.

Okay?

Okay, now, after dessert and a good
cigar, there'll kill some time at this

right here, because I could use me a
couple of new suits.

Uh, sir, I can't help but noticing how
close we'll be to Radio City.

You want to see the Rockettes?

I love those women.

This is a race, Ralph. Take it
seriously.

Okay, man, after I pay for the suit, I'm
going to jump in another cab, and we'll

go to this point right here, which is
just short of the finish line.

Then I'll sprint across real quick and
wait for Willis to be carried on on a

stretcher.

Oh, sir, that's a great plan. I feel
like a spy.

Look, don't blab about this to nobody.

I don't want Willis finding out about
it. Oh, he won't learn a thing from me,

sir. No, sir.

He can threaten me, beat me, stick
bamboo splints under my fingernail, but

he'll get from me is my name, rank, and
union card number. I'm a rock, sir. Go

ahead, Will.

Hi, George.

Oh, hi, Ralph.

Ralph Hart Dorman, union card number
4826.

What are you doing here? I thought you
were going to be all day at the help

center. I was, but I couldn't stand
listening to Helen anymore.

Whenever anyone walked through the door,
she'd start bragging about Tom.

I couldn't get a word in edgewise about
you.

What's behind your back? Huh?

Oh, this is Ralph.

Eat this.

Ralph?

Isn't that a map? Ralph Hart, doorman,
union card number 4826.

Yes, it's a map, Weezy. Look, Ralph's
vacation is coming up, and I was just

giving him some advice on where to spend
it.

But this looks like a map of Central
Park.

Times are hard for poor Ralph.

Maybe next year it'll be Yellowstone
Park.

Hold it, you two!

George, this is a map of the marathon
route.

He made me do it. I didn't want to help
him cheat in the race. I'm just a pawn.

Ignore him, Wheezy. He's just delirious
because he just lost a hundred dollar

tip. Oh, I'm sorry. She forced it out of
me.

George, I don't understand.

Oh, wow, Wheezy. Boy, what a dress.

It's great. I love it.

It's so green.

George, I'm ashamed of you.

You were going to cheat on this race.

So what?

So I believed you when you told me you
could outrun Tom.

I can.

you'll do it fair and square.

Fair and square?

Yes, George. Promise me you won't leave
the course.

Okay, Weasley, I promise.

Oh.

I promise I won't leave the course. Oh,
thank you, George.

Ralph, look, I just came up with plan B.

Stop your crying, Ralph. You'll get your
$100.

What was that?

How the hell should I know?

Willis, you idiot. I think you sat on a
snake.

Sir, it's me, Ralph.

Ralph, what are you doing here?

Ralph, can't you do nothing right?
You're supposed to meet me back at the

-mile point.

But, sir, this is the one -mile point.

Did you bring the stuff?

Yes, sir. Right here.

Give me.

Hey, that's oxygen.

Well, go to sleep, Willis. You dream.

Can't use that. That's cheating.

Give me some.

Get your own.

Sir, you know, you'll never believe the
trouble I went through to get this

thing. Oh, please, Ralph, not now.

Well, sir, it's a lot heavier than it
looks, and I'm not as young as I used to

be.

What if I give you some for your
troubles?

If you insist.

Okay, you give me the oxygen.

When we get back home, I'll give you
$25.

$25. Thank you, Sue. You're very
generous. I'll give you 50.

I have $75. Do I hear $100?

$100.

$150. $175.

$200. $200.

I'm sorry, sir. Thank you again.

If you need anything else, I'll be at
Radio City.

Hey, give me that and you'll suck all
the air out of me.

Well,

here we go again.

And may the best man win. Yeah, I will.

Okay.

Get ready. Ready.

Get set.

Go!

Blister! Blister!

You all right, Tom?

Oh, Whis, what are you doing here?

What are you doing down there?

Oh, Whis, I got real bad cramps in my
legs. I mean, bad cramps. Well, then

running and they'll go away.

This is your chance, Tom. Get up!

Oh,

stop whining, you big baby.

Come on, George, stop running.

I can't run.

Well, then crawl, George, crawl.

I got cramps in my family birth.

Here, you race.

Here, Helen.

Stick it.

You think the girls will be okay?

Sure.

Running's good for you.

Hey, there's nothing hanging about here.

What do you say we go get a bite to eat?

Well, sounds good to me.

I thought it would.
