Well, we're moving on up. Moving on up. To the sun. Moving on up.

To a deep.

Last week on The Jeffersons, Louise and George received a postcard from the

Willises. George, look at the postcard we got from Tom and Helen. Oh, yeah,

they had to say.

Oh, just that they are having a wonderful time in Hawaii, and they wish

there. Later that day, George made a doctor's appointment and was told he had

high blood pressure. The doctor recommended that George take a vacation.

Now you're starting to sound like my wife.

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

Go to Hawaii, spend a week or so, relax, and I'll check your blood pressure when

you get back.

Without telling her the real reason, George surprised Louise with plane

to Hawaii.

I got us some tickets to Hawaii.

Hawaii? George planned his trip carefully so that he was leaving for

same day Tom and Helen Willis were due home.

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

Willises.

But what George didn't plan on was the Willises deciding to extend their

vacation.

And now, the Jeffersons continue.

This place is perfect for my horoscope.

Horoscope? Yeah. I was reading it on the plane, and it said I'd soon be involved

in a running romance.

I can believe that. Any man that sees you coming is going to start running.

See, George, I told you it would be too warm here for a business suit.

Yeah, Mr. Jefferson, this is Hawaii.

You're supposed to let your hair down.

Or in your case, keep track of what you got left.

Come on, let's go check in.

Oh, Mr. Jefferson, would you check in for me, too?

Where are you going? To the beach.

I've been in Hawaii 45 minutes and I haven't touched the ocean. So what?

You've been working for us for six years and you haven't touched a vacuum

cleaner.

I can see why Tom and Helen like this hotel.

Why? Is the furniture made out of zebra skin?

Mmm, this is better than going to the supermarket on Monday morning.

I was checking you out from over there, and I could not believe my eyes.

Why? Ain't they got no women where you come from?

Well, yes, but they don't hold a candle to you.

Oh, go on.

Oh, really?

How long have you been living here?

Well, I just got in today. I'm a tourist.

Do me the honor of allowing me to place this lei around your neck.

Why?

Get off those gorgeous eyes.

Call me a romantic, but I just got to complete this picture.

Well, I guess we can't have no underdeveloped pictures, can we?

Okay.

Well, it was a lay.

Well, I thought you wanted to take my picture.

Well, then that's going to cost you an extra five dollars.

Aloha, pretty lady.

George, I can't believe we're really in Hawaii.

Never thought I'd live to see this place.

Yeah, me too.

Now, this afternoon we could... George, what are you doing?

Oh, nothing. I'm just looking at this dumb machine that checks your blood

pressure. Wow, isn't this something?

Why don't you sit down and check your blood pressure so we can see how it

Are you kidding me? This thing costs 50 cents.

We just got to the hotel. You're blowing money off Eddie.

Now, the first thing I want to do is buy some postcards. Oh, Tom and Helen would

be surprised to find out where we are. Yeah, this vacation is just what I need.

Seven whole days without the Willis's. Oh, yeah.

And after that,

we'll go to the Hanover, and then to the Poly, and then to the Bishop Museum.

That's enough for the rest of the day.

That's enough for the rest of the month.

Don't stop complaining. You promised we'd go sightseeing.

Why don't we wait until tomorrow?

That way we can have a full day.

Today, we could go rent a sailboat. Tom, I told you, I don't want to go sailing.

Now go rent a car while I map out our route.

Helen, do you really want to spend a nice day like this cooped up in a stuffy

car?

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Rent a convertible.

Helen. Now, Tom.

Yes, dear.

until tomorrow, so maybe we should... Tom, I just thought Florence out there.

Florence? Florence who?

Florence Johnson. She walked right across the patio.

Maybe we ought to forget about the convertible. You sound as if you've had

much fun already.

Maybe we ought to spend the rest of the day just taking it easy. No, Tom. We're

going touring.

Now, are you going to rent a car, or do you want me to? Okay, okay, but you just

stay here and relax.

I'll get a car with air conditioning.

I'll be just a second, George. I have to find Florence to give her her room key.

That's okay, Richard. I'll just stay here and give me her reading.

I mean, you know, read a paper.

Okay, I'll be right back.

Or for today and tomorrow. Tom, I just saw Louise.

Louise who?

Louise Jefferson.

Oh, Helen.

She walked straight out that door.

I saw her as plain as day. Helen, your mind is just playing tricks on you

because you miss your friends.

Well, I haven't been George.

Friends, Helen.

I said friends.

Maybe you're right. Of course I am. Now, you just finish with your map.

And I'll be right back.

Hey, buddy.

You need to relax.

Pardon me, sir, but can you tell me the time?

No, I'm sorry.

Thanks anyway.

do some sightseeing, so we decided to stay in Hawaii another week.

Oh, George, isn't that wonderful?

Yeah, wonderful for New York.

We were going touring this afternoon. Why don't you go with us?

Oh, Helen, we don't have to go sightseeing today.

I'm sure George and Louise are tired after their long flight.

No, they ain't. They slept on a plane.

Oh,

we'd love to go sightseeing. Come on, George, let's go change.

But, Louise, you said you and me were going to spend a nice, quiet vacation.

I can't understand how you can spend all that money to get here and then just

want to lay around all the time. Shoot, you can lay around at home. Yeah, nobody

knows that better than you.

Come on, everybody. Let's go.

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

A once -in -a -lifetime adventure.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. Oh, come on, George.

Isn't it wonderful here?

Yeah, it sure is.

We've been here three days already. I ain't got dizzy once.

Dizzy? Why would you be dizzy?

Huh? Oh, you know, when I stay in the sun a long time, I get dizzy.

You never told me that.

Oh, no?

Oh, I guess we only talk on cloudy days.

George, you know, ever since we've been here, you seem like a new person.

I do?

Yeah. You seem much more relaxed than you are at home.

You don't get angry or upset.

You're even getting along with Tom Willis. Oh, yeah. Oh, Willis is easier

take now that he's got a tan.

Yeah, but I know what you mean, Weez. You should have never waited this long

come over here.

You're right, George.

Life's too short.

Yeah. Not anymore, then.

Lovely flowers.

Yeah, I found out it was an old Hawaiian custom.

If a woman wears a flower on the left side, it means she's spoken for. And if

she wears it on the right side, it means she's available.

Available for what? Planning?

George.

Florence, would you like to join us?

Oh, no, thanks, Mr. Jefferson. You know what they say.

Two's company and three's a crowd.

Oh, Florence, that's silly.

No, it ain't. I heard a lot of people say that.

I appreciate you including me in everything, but this is your vacation,

mean, you've got Mr. Jefferson, and Miss Willis has got Mr. Willis.

Shoot, I just wish I could find me somebody.

Why don't you put another flower in your hair? Maybe you could find yourself a

gardener.

Flowers, I know you would like to meet someone, but you've only been here a few

days. Yeah, but my horoscope said I'd meet somebody soon.

Look, maybe you're trying too hard.

Want me to give you some good advice?

Just be yourself.

Well, Jefferson's a good advice.

Mr. Jefferson's right. I've been myself all my life, and that's all it's got me,

myself.

Well, I'm going down to the beach to see if I can find somebody interesting.

You better settle for anything.

Joyce. Yeah, we... Shut up.

myself a woman.

This is supposed to be the island of romance.

One woman isn't too much to ask for, is it?

I mean, all I want is someone who's nice.

Someone who's easy to talk to.

Someone my wife will never find out about. You ought to be ashamed of

So what? Do you think I'd go out with a two -timer like you?

I'm glad I found out about you before it was too late.

Ma 'am, I'm a myth.

Excuse me, but you stepped in my puka. I did?

No, no.

Puka in Hawaiian means hole.

Oh, well, you ought to be more careful where you put your puka.

Again, I apologize.

My name is Leon Kanekuulo.

Well, pleased to meet you, Mr. Kanekuulo.

Kanekuulo.

You can call me Leon.

My name is Florence Johnson.

Nice to meet you.

But you can call me Florence.

Yep, I was born here.

Oh, it must be a nice place to bring up a family.

Yeah, but I don't have a family.

I haven't found the right woman yet.

Oh. I mean, oh.

I'm sorry I ruined your sandcastle. Don't worry, Bart.

I mean, hang loose.

Don't worry, no big deal.

Oh.

You mind if I help you?

Of course not.

I'd love to come to you.

Okay, um, what do you want me to do?

Well, you can get me some more wet sand if it's not too much trouble.

Trouble? Hey, Leon.

Sorry,

friend. Oh, sorry.

No,

no, no, no, no, no. It's the second you flick it with your wrist like that.

Hey.

That's bad. I think you're a natural.

Want to join us?

Sure. All right. Come on.

Hey, Weezy, keep an eye on my stuff. You just might be looking at the next

Frisbee throwing chant.

Oh, good.

The prize will look nice next to your trophy for throwing the ball.

You sure do beautiful work, Leon.

Well, I could never have done it without you.

You're the best helper I ever had.

Thanks. Are you an architect?

No, this is just a hobby.

I'm in charge of security at the hotel.

Security?

Well, you can protect me anytime.

Uh -oh.

I gotta go.

Have you got plans for tonight?

Well, I was gonna see that Polynesian show.

But I don't really want to see that.

It's too bad I was going to invite you to come to the Polynesian show with me.

Hey, I always wanted to see a Polynesian show.

Fantastic. I'll meet you at 7, all right?

Perfect.

See you at 7. Aloha.

Aloha.

You're really good.

George. George Jefferson. George? Bill Wilson. Oh.

Hey, Bill.

Man, you know you make that Frisbee do everything but the hula?

Yeah, well, I get a chance to practice a little bit every day, George.

Oh, you live in Hawaii?

Yeah.

Moved here 23 years ago from Chicago.

Left there on my 50th birthday.

Ooh.

23?

73?

You don't look it.

These islands.

My doctor in Chicago told me that if I didn't learn how to relax more, I'd be

dead in a year. You know what I did when he told me that?

Loaded up on life insurance.

I sold my business and I moved here right away.

I've been great ever since.

You mean you gave up everything and moved to Hawaii?

Well, I tried, but my wife came with me anyway.

What did you do for a living?

As little as possible.

You see, I took the money that I got from my business and I got somebody to

invest it for me over here.

I guess I don't have to tell you what a good investment counselor can do for

you. Of course not.

What can he do for you?

Well, instead of me working for money, he's got my money working for me.

You mean you don't even work?

No.

Ken Fander's my investment counselor. He does everything.

I tell you, George, Hawaii is a gold mine. And that Ken has got a great nose

business deals.

Do you think he'd do a little stripping for me?

Yeah,

maybe he could set me up with something like you got.

Yeah, well, as a matter of fact, I'm meeting Ken in the bar tonight. If you

to come by, I'll introduce you to him. Great, what time?

Eight o 'clock.

Oh, damn, I'm taking my wife to that Polynesian show tonight.

Ah, okay.

But I'll think of something. Don't worry about it. All right, George, but I got

to tell you something. When it comes to money, Ken doesn't deal on a small

scale. He needs a small scale for lightweight.

You take it easy. Yeah, I'll take it easy.

Yeah, I plan to.

I make a call on this phone?

As far as I know, that's all you can do on it.

I tried surfing on it once, but the cord wasn't long enough.

What are you, the local comedian?

What are you, a talent scout?

Just pick it up and the operator will come on it.

Hello, operator.

I'd like to make a person -to -person call to Mr. Kurt Randall in New York

The area code is 212...

Hi, Kitty.

How about a drink?

That sounds great.

But I think I'll let my husband buy it for me.

Would he buy me one, too?

Yeah, you heard me right.

Ask Blue Sky Cleaners how soon they can buy my stores.

What? How am I supposed to know how much they worth? You need to count.

That was a big step.

But look, this could be a matter of life or death.

Talking to? Yes, on the phone.

On the phone?

Oh! I was just making sure we had our reservations for that Polynesian show

tonight. Oh, how thoughtful.

You know, George, these last few days have really been great. Yeah, they sure

have.

Hawaii's such a beautiful place.

Ain't it?

You know, I feel like we jumped inside of a postcard.

I could stay here forever.

Really?
