All language subtitles for The Jeffersons s07e02 Go to Hawaii 1

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

Just a second.

George, telephone!

Mr. Jefferson, please.

What is it?

Kurt Randall, your accountant.

Oh, must be good news.

How do you know?

Because it was bad news he'd call
Collette.

Hey, Kurt, what's happening?

Florence, didn't you hear the phone
ringing?

Oh, yeah, Mr. Jefferson, I heard it.
Then why didn't you answer it?

Was it for me?

No.

A hundredth time, the answer is still
no.

No. Well, what was that all about?

Blue Skies Cleaners is to make another
offer to buy my stores. Don't they know

that those stores are the most important
things that I've got?

You're forgetting me, George.

Oh, I'm sorry, Weezy. The most important
things we've got.

Don't you remember when I first started
out, everybody was saying, oh, that

little punk ain't never gonna make it.
Well, who's having the last laugh now?

That little punk? Thank you.

George sure has come a long way. Yeah, I
gotta hand it to the little punk.

He can afford to do anything he wants
to. My vacation starts Saturday, and I

can't even afford to leave this
apartment.

Oh, Florence, there must be someplace
you can afford to go.

Yeah, the zoo.

But with my luck, Congo the gorilla will
be asleep.

Oh, we pay you more than that.

Are you kidding?

My bank account is so low that my bank
says I owe them interest.

Hello, Mr. Bentley. Hello, Corrin.

Hi, Mr. Bentley. Come on in. Thank you,
Mr. Jay. I was just downstairs picking

up my mail, so I brought yours up, too.
Oh, thank you.

Ah, a card from Tom and Helen.

Ah, yes. Dear George and Louise, I'm
having a great time in Hawaii, and we

you were here. Love, Tom and Helen.

Oh, and P .S., we'll be home this
Saturday.

Is there anything for me, Mr. Bentley?

Oh, I wouldn't know, Florence. It
wouldn't be proper for me to look

somebody else's mail.

Oh, Hawaii.

Now that's my idea of a real vacation.

Oh, yes. Hawaii is a truly magnificent
place. Lush green forest.

Clear blue water.

Breathtaking sunset.

You've been to Hawaii, Mr. Bentley?

Uh, no, but I've seen every episode of
Hawaii Five -0.

Aloha from Hawaii.

Aloha means goodbye, don't it?

Uh, yes, and it also means hello.

Do you know how to speak Hawaiian, Mr.
Bentley? Uh, no, I only know aloha and

one other phrase.

Oh, and what's that?

Book him, Dano.

You wish George would take me someplace
like this.

Unfortunately, his idea of a vacation is
knocking off early for lunch.

Well, I better be off. I've got my own
mail to read.

Oh, Mr. J., I was just leaving.

Oh, good.

I hate long goodbyes. Oh, really? So do
I. You know, I remember once boarding

this room.

See you later, Weasley. I've got to make
an appointment.

George, look at the postcard we got from
Tom and Helen. Oh, yeah, what they had

to say.

Oh, just that they're having a wonderful
time in Hawaii, and they wish we were

there. Why?

Does Willis want somebody to watch him
do the honky -hoola?

George, do you realize it's been five
years since we went on a vacation?

And you want to go again?

Yes, George. Call me crazy.

But every five years, I get the urge to
take a vacation. You know, the kind

where you can just sit back, put your
feet up, and do nothing.

Oh, yeah, like what I paid Florence to
do.

George, will you be serious for a
minute? Look, forget it. Let's go to

like Tom and Helen. Weezy, look, I'm
right in the middle of my busiest

Dirt waits for no man.

But Tom managed to take time off from
work. Why can't you?

That's because the people he works with
are glad he's off.

Can you imagine what would happen if I
took off?

You'll make me your happy woman. No,
this is important stuff, Weez.

My whole business would fall apart.

But George, all I'm asking is... Forget
about Hawaii.

Hawaii ain't that great. If it was, why
did God separate it from the rest of the

country?

So much for vacation.

Yep. Looks like neither one of us is
ever going to see Hawaii.

Oh, Florence, just because George and I
aren't going, that doesn't mean you

can't go. Me? The closest I'll ever get
to Hawaii is the pineapple section at

the A .M .P.

Come on, Florence. Maybe someday you'll
get to Hawaii.

Oh, sure. All I got to do is find a
fairy godmother.

I wonder how I'd look with a wand.

What did you say?

Oh, uh, I was just wondering about Helen
and Tom.

Oh, boy, Helen, listen to those waves.

That wasn't the waves, Tom. It was me.

Oh, good imitation.

Tom, we've been in Hawaii for six days
and you've barely moved from that spot.

Oh, I'm just trying to get a decent
suntan.

Aren't you forgetting about me?

Oh, here. I thought you were finished.

You're impossible.

I might as well be talking to a ki 'i.

What's a ki 'i?

That's Hawaiian for statue.

If you take the time to learn a little
about the islands, you'd know some of

those things.

But no, all you want to do is sit around
all day smearing yourself with sun and

tan lotion.

Now, if I'm missing something, please
tell me, because I can't for the life of

me see what kind of pleasure you get out
of just sitting here doing the same

thing day after day.

Tom! Oh, I'm sorry, dear. I was just
watching the hips.

I mean, the ships.

I realize that you're missing the main
attractions of Hawaii.

Well, I catch what I can.

But we're leaving in three days, and we
don't even know what the other side of

the island looks like.

Yes, we do. It looks just like this
side, only the water's over there.

Well, if you want to sit here and fry
like a pork chop until Saturday, that's

fine with me.

I'm going for a walk. Oh, now, Helen,
wait a minute.

Helen, wait.

Sorry, Miss.

Helen.

Helen.

I guess she didn't hear me.

Boy, I'm glad I have to wait as long as
this guy did.

Can I go home now?

Would you roll up your sleeve again,
please?

For what? The nurse already took my
blood pressure. Yes, I know.

It's pretty high, George.

Oh, yeah, well, Doc, that's your fault.
You shouldn't let your nurse wear such

short skirts.

Just roll up your sleeve.

Okay. I'm going to check your pressure
again just to make sure. Okay, it's your

office.

My nurse tells me that you've been
suffering from... Headache, fatigue, and

occasional dizziness.

Oh, yeah, she told me a lot of things
about you, too, Doc.

How have you been eating lately?

Fast. When my maid cooks, you don't take
time to wonder what it is.

I mean, have you been eating a lot of
salt or salty foods?

Should I? No. Then I don't.

Okay, just breathe normally and relax.

Think about something pleasant. I mean,
think about your friend.

Your neighbor.

Your bank account.

Oh, okay.

Uh -huh.

Is that a good uh -huh or a bad uh -huh?

Okay, tell it to me straight, Doc. How
long do I got?

You're all finished, George.

What?

You're finished with your test.

The pressure came down, son.

Hey, it came down. It means I'm cured.
Hey, you're a miracle worker, Doc.

And you said he was a quack.

George,

the pressure came down some, but not
enough.

When was the last time you had your
blood pressure checked?

The last time I came to see you, two or
three years ago.

More like six years ago.

Yeah, well, that's what I said, two,
three, six years ago.

George, you're a lucky man.

Most people don't realize they even have
high blood pressure until it's too

late. Oh, well, how late is too late?

That's too late.

Well, ain't you got nothing earlier than
that?

candidate for either a heart attack or a
stroke. What?

You're a 50 -year -old black male in a
high -pressure job.

And black males have the highest
incidence of high blood pressure. Okay,

so what should I do about it? For one
thing, you should have your blood

checked every year. Everybody should.

Okay, then I'll see you next year.

You need yours checked more often.

Okay, I'll see you next month.

George! Look, I gotta go. I missed too
much work already.

For one thing, you have to learn how to
relax.

Look, Doc, I got a business to run. I'm
too busy to relax.

You're too busy to live?

Oh, Doc.

Listen, George.

Why don't you take some time off? Oh, is
that all I gotta do? Great. Well,

tomorrow, I'll knock off early for
lunch.

You need more time off than that. Now
you're starting to sound like my wife.

She was bugging me this morning to take
her to Hawaii.

Some time in Hawaii would be perfect.

It would?

Yeah, go to Hawaii. Spend a week or so.
Relax, and I'll check your blood

pressure when you get back. A week?

No way in the world I can take a whole
week off. Besides, I feel fine.

George, are you all right?

Hmm? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm okay.

Look, don't say nothing about this to
Weezy, okay?

She doesn't even know I'm here.

Hawaii, George?

Yeah, okay, Hawaii.

You want to go, too?

You look like you could use a tan.

Mr. J's store when I saw what you were
doing.

What were you doing?

Listening to see if Florence is in
there.

Oh, I can find out for you.

Florence!

I want to surprise her. I bought her a
first class plane ticket to Hawaii.

Oh, Mrs.

J, you're wonderful.

But keep it a secret, okay?

Roger, Mrs. J. You can count on me.

I won't say a word to anyone about it.
Good.

You won't believe what that woman did.

are you doing here?

I work here, remember?

What are you doing?

Well, I was... What does it look like
I'm doing?

Gift wrapping your fingers.

Right. I always do this nervous habit of
trying to quit.

Come on, Miss Jefferson. You're wrapping
something else. Now, what is it?

Okay, Florence, I'll give you a hint.

If you could be anywhere on Earth right
now, where would it be?

Billy Dee Williams' dressing room.

Besides that?

Billy Dee Williams' living room.

Florence, I've had enough of Billy Dee
Williams.

Then pass him over here, child.

This is for you. A ticket to Hawaii.

Back to my little grass shack in Hawaii,
Hawaii?

You leave Saturday.

Hawaii? You mean Hawaii?

Well, I figured since George won't take
me, why couldn't you go so you can tell

me all about it?

Oh, Miss Jefferson.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I don't know what to say. I hate you.

I think I get the message.

This is the best thing that ever
happened to me. And you know what? I'm

start packing right now.

Florence, you aren't leaving for three
days.

I know. And the next time you pull
something like this, you got to give me

little more notice.

What do you say?

Oh, hi, George.

Hey, have I got something to tell you?
Oh, I have something to tell you, too.

No, no, me first, me first. Okay.

What have you been bugging me to do for
a long time?

George, shouldn't we wait till it's
dark?

Not that long, Weed.

I'm talking about this.

I got us some tickets to Hawaii.

Hawaii? That's right.

You mean as in, I want to go back to my
little grass shack in Hawaii, Hawaii?

That's the one. We leave Saturday. It's
a great hell.

Look, we forget about this morning.

Just consider me an afternoon kind of
guy.

But what made you change your mind?

Well, there was a little something in my
blood.

Can't you just see the two of us just
sitting under palm trees, drinking my

flies?

My ties.

Yeah, them too.

Mr. Jefferson, do you think diamond
earrings will go okay with this dress?

Sure, Florence.

Can I borrow your diamond earrings?

Forget the earrings, Florence. Besides,
there's a lot of things I want you to do

before me and Wheezy take off for
Hawaii.

Hawaii? You mean you're going to?

Of course I'm going to.

You think I'm going to let Wheezy go to
Hawaii all by herself?

Uh, George, there's something I've got
to tell you. Wheezy, are you happy to go

to Hawaii?

Oh, why, sure I'm happy, George.

Well, I thought you was going to be
thrilled.

Jenny, is there anything you want from
Hawaii?

Oh, yeah.

Some chocolate -covered macadamia nuts.

And a puka shell bracelet.

And a muumuu.

Anything else?

Yes. Any piece of clothing ever worn by
Don Ho.

Not until now.

Here, Ralph, this is the last piece.
Yes, sir.

Where's Jessica?

Oh, she's with a babysitter.

Oh, well, tell her her grandpa's going
to bring her back a grass skirt when he

comes, okay?

I don't think they make grass skirts
that small.

Okay, I'll just get a big one and mow
it.

Are you sure that's everything, sir?

Yeah, Ralph, look, I want you to take
all this stuff down the line. this car

we'll all meet you down in a minute,
okay?

Yes, Mr. Jefferson, and might I be the
first to wish you a safe trip and a

wonderful week in Hawaii.

Yes, you may, Ralph.

Yes.

You know, sir, not everyone gets to
spend seven days in such a beautiful

tropical island.

Why, I thought I'd go there myself this
year, but money being what it is. Oh,

yeah, here you go.

You know, sir, you are very lucky.

For me, it's a...

Looks like I'll be taking the same old
vacation I've been taking year after

year. Here it is, Ralph. That's it.

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

Ma 'am, have a wonderful vacation.

Oh, we will, Ralph.

And speaking of vacations, where do you
go every year?

Oh, I have a little beach house in the
Virgin Islands.

guy for blue sky cleaners oh we'll tell
him to talk to my accountant but pop is

about your story he wants to talk to you
but then hang up on him i can't do that

pretend it's your draft board wrong
number uh come on florence it's time

to go all right well hurry up woman

in the closet.

George!

Florence, you look very, um... colorful.

Why, thank you, Jenny.

I'll say one thing.

If she gets air sick in that dress,
ain't nobody gonna notice it.

Listen, Jenny.

When your parents get back tonight, tell
them how sorry we are we missed them in

Hawaii. If you don't mind lying.

Well, Pop, I sure wish I was going with
you. I've heard a lot about those island

women. Oh, yeah, me too.

Don't believe everything you hear, son.

Well, I'm sure you're going to have a
good time.

Yeah, and just think, George, no
traffic, no smog. And the best part of

no will or says.

Tom?

Huh? Oh, hi, Helen.

Tom, do you realize what time it is?
We're supposed to be at the airport in a

couple of hours.

Yeah, I know.

So what are you still doing here?

Oh, nothing.

Just looking over the horizon.

Why? Is it wearing a bikini today?

You ever seen such blue water in your
life?

Tom, we have to hurry.

You seen the water in Long Island found
lately?

On a good day, it's the color of an old
army cot.

Tom. Probably just as lumpy, too.

Tom, if we don't hurry, we'll miss our
plane.

And the air. It's so clean here.

I don't understand why you don't like
Hawaii.

What are you talking about? I love
Hawaii.

Great. Then why don't we stay a few more
days?

What? Look, Helen, I've got another
week's vacation coming.

I promise, if you stay, we'll see all
the things you wanted to see. The

aquarium, the pineapple fields, the
sugar mill.

I'll even take you sailing.

Tom, you know I get seasick.

You'll have more time to get well.

What do you say, Helen?

Can we stay?

Well, I was looking forward to seeing
Jenny and the baby.

And Lionel. And Louise.

What about George?

Well, maybe another week in Hawaii would
be kind of nice
