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

Last week on The Jeffersons, George decided he had to move to Hawaii for

reasons. Oh, isn't it wonderful here?

Yeah, it sure is.

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

What? 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.

I know.

Oh, I guess we only talk on cloudy days.

We're building 300 units on prime oceanfront land. We're calling it

Acres. Paradise Acres. Hey, it's got a nice ring to it.

After finding a business deal that would allow him to retire in Hawaii, George

then had to convince Louise.

George, no matter where I lived, things wouldn't be the same without Tom and

Alan.

You mean you'll go sailing with me?

Sure.

I mean, first thing in the morning.

I mean, after all, life is too short.

I mean, we good friends got to stick together no matter where we might be.

that right, old buddy?

I just wish I could see the beach.

Let me see the beach right over there.

The Jeffersons continues.

Last time I let you be captain. Gee, you're the one who turned the boat over.

I hadn't grabbed these life jackets, we'd both probably be inside some shark

right now. Yeah, me maybe. But for you, the shark would have to bring along a

doggie bag.

I wonder where we are.

I don't know.

But when you're here, I know it ain't Fantasy Island.

Look around, George.

I don't see anything.

I don't see any houses.

No buildings.

This island looks deserted.

Deserted? Oh, man, that's crazy.

Ain't it?

Oh, I don't know, George. The wind could have carried us anywhere.

You mean only two people on this whole island?

Well, it's possible.

We've got to stick together. We've got to work as a team. Through thick and

through thin. Through the good times and the bad times.

Remember, George, old buddy, all we've got is each other.

and Crusoe.

Well, don't look at me. I ain't Friday.

What was that? I don't know. It sounded like a person.

Come on.

No, no, no. Wait, George.

You know, I read that some of these islands might still have Japanese

on them. Japanese soldiers?

Yeah, from World War II. They don't know the fighting's over yet. Oh, Will, get

out. That's the stupidest thing I ever heard in my life.

Does that sound like a bonsai to you?

I'm not sure.

Well, cool. We can't just stay here.

I'm moving up for a closer look. Come on, come on.

Well,

at least we know this island is inhabited.

Yeah, there are people here, too.

They look Japanese.

I think they're Hawaiian.

You know, I heard that some Hawaiians aren't too crazy about foreigners.

Oh, what's all they like?

George, over here, we are the foreigners.

Oh, they've seen us.

What do we do now?

Oh, no.

Hey, I got it. What's that?

No, I showed it to me. It's Hawaiian for stay cool.

Stay cool?

Just do it.

Let me do the talk. Yeah, okay.

Aloha. I thought I told you to let me do the talk.

Aloha.

Say, any guys Japanese?

Japanese? Why, you see a camera?

You really hate to bother you, but could you tell us where we are?

Yeah, you're in our fishing net.

Biggest catch of the day, too.

What he means is, where is Honolulu?

Honolulu's on the other side of the island.

This island? Yeah. Oh, thank God we don't have to get in another boat.

We were out sailing and our boat tipped over.

Yeah, it was all his fault.

Our wives are probably worried sick about us. Is there a telephone around

we could use?

Sure, follow me. You can use the telephone in my house.

See, that's what I told you you had nothing to be scared of.

Your trouble is you don't have enough faith in people.

Yeah, I guess you're right, George.

Yeah, I know I'm right. Come on, let's follow him.

Look, if he makes a sudden move, hit him with this.

Oh, I just wish I knew what to tell Leon when he proposes.

You do think he's going to propose to you, don't you? Of course.

I bet he's just waiting till we're alone.

The trouble is, I don't know what to say to him.

Oh, decisions, decisions.

Excuse me.

Is there a Louise Jefferson here?

I'm Louise Jefferson.

There's a phone call for you. It's from your husband.

George? Where's he calling from?

He didn't say. He just kept yelling at me to find you.

The way Mr. Jefferson yells, I'm surprised he needed a phone.

Excuse me. I think Leon needs his towel.

Thank you, Florence.

You know, there's something I want to ask you. Oh, Lord.

Is this about marriage?

You must have ESP.

No, just butterflies.

I'll be right back.

This is it.

This is it. This is what?

Leon's going to ask me to marry him.

What should I say?

Well, do you want to marry him? I don't think so.

Then say no.

I can't say that. Then say yes.

Well, ain't you got something in between?

Look, Florence, it's either yes or no.

There's nothing in between.

Some help you are.

Well, I'm back.

Now, where were we?

Well, you were here and I was there. But now you're here and I'm here too, so

you might as well go on and ask me.

Oh, here, hey.

Florence, would you... I'm sorry, Leon, but I've given this some thought and I

can't marry you.

Marry you?

I'm sorry, Leon, I can't.

I wasn't going to ask you to marry me. I was going to ask you to go to a

friend's wedding.

That's all?

Well, the reception too.

But I thought she was going to propose.

What gave you that idea?

Well, last night when we were on the beach, you held my hand.

Florence, just because I held your hand... I know.

I know.

That's just what Miss Jefferson said.

Oh, Leon, I'm so embarrassed.

I told Miss Jefferson and Miss Willis you were going to propose to me.

How am I ever going to face them?

Florence, are you okay?

I'm fine. I'm all right.

How did it go?

Well, it... It went fine.

Florence let me down easy.

I did?

Oh, right.

Leon and I decided to just be good friends.

Leon, do you know how to get to Panicola?

Panicola? Yes, that's on the other side of the island. Why?

Because that's where Tom and George are. They're boat overturned. What?

They're okay, but we have to go get them. That's okay. We can use my Jeep.

Have you got the address?

Yes, right here. Oh, come on, Louise, let's go.

Oh, Leanne, thanks.

Lawrence, that's what good friends are for.

Thanks, Andrew. Yeah, Mahula.

Mahalo. Yeah, whatever.

When our wives get here, we'll pay you for your troubles. Nah, no need.

You two fellas just relax till the doctor comes.

You didn't have to call a doctor, Andrew.

There ain't nothing wrong with us. We're just waterlogged.

Oh, no trouble.

The doctor was coming for the luau anyway.

A luau?

Oh, is that what's going on here? Yeah, we're making one luau for my son's

birthday. Hey, why don't you two guys and your wife stay for the luau?

We'll get plenty of food, music, dancing.

Oh, well, I was supposed to be at a meeting at 1 o 'clock, but since I

it, I might as well stay.

Hey, what do you say, Will? Oh, sure.

I love Hawaiian food.

Oh, you love any kind of food.

Hey, that's my son, Robert.

Robert, this is, uh, George.

How's it, bro?

Hey, nothing to it, blood.

And this is Tom.

Is it better?

Well, so you're the birthday boy.

You call him boy.

Tom and George were sailing and they got lost.

Oh, yeah. Where you guys from? New York. New York?

Wow, you are lost.

What George means is that we live in New York City and we're vacationing in

Honolulu. Yeah, but we're talking about moving to Hawaii.

We are?

Sure. Let's face it. I mean, this island is much nicer than Manhattan.

I mean, look at this. Pairs cleaner, people are friendlier, and less hassles.

mean, everything you need to live a nice long life.

Everything but a job.

Don't worry about it. I got it covered. I hope there's a business deal that will

set us both up for the rest of our lives.

Well, I've got to admit, it sure would be nice living here right by the ocean

like this.

Yeah, boy.

Andrew, you sure are lucky.

Yeah, but my luck's running out. Our lease is up and we've got to move.

Don't you own this house?

I own the house, but not the land.

Well, can't you renew your lease?

No, they're going to build some condominiums over here.

Condominium? Yeah, bro, that's the way it is, man.

The Hawleys been sucking up the land, and all they do is build buildings all

over the place, man. Who the Hawleys? Family that owns the land?

Hawley is like our word for white man.

Oh, yeah, we got a word for that, too.

Honky.

But the difference is, the way they think is, I know your family lived here

their life and your ancestors for thousands of years, but you know what?

out now because we need buildings, hotels, condominiums. My son, he gets

away a little bit.

Of course I get carried away. They're going to tear down our house for build

what? Paradise Acres.

Paradise Acres?

Yeah, that's what they're going to call this place.

Who are the people that are doing this?

Contractors, builders, investors?

Have you ever met these people?

No. They're greedy, not stupid.

They don't come around here.

No way.

Hey, bro.

Some help?

If

you

and your family had to move from here, where would you go?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe up Mocha.

Mocha? Malka, that's the mountains where they push most of the local people. The

mountains. I love living in the mountains.

You can have a great view.

You've never lived in the mountains. I live on the 12th floor. It's the same

thing.

Hey, Andrew, Robert.

How's it going?

These are two sailors?

Yeah, this is Tom and George.

This is Stan. How's it going, guys?

Hi, Doc. How are you? Look, have a use of your house, Andrew. Sure, sure.

Why don't you guys go inside and I'll take a quick look at it. Oh, thank you,

Doc.

Oh, I stopped by the store on my way, and I heard two guys talking about the

Paradise Acres deal.

I think they're on their way here. That's all I'd tell you.

Hey, Tom, did Doc check you out yet? Yeah, he said everything was just fine.

Except my voice.

Listen, we're getting ready to dig out the pig now. You want to come watch?

I want to do more than watch.

I want to eat.

Be right there.

Oh, Tom.

Helen. Oh, Tom, I'm so glad you're safe.

Oh, me too.

You know, Helen, there are a lot of things that go through a man's mind when

he's facing a life or death situation.

I was out there fighting those treacherous waves. I knew exactly what I

going to say to you if I ever got back here alive.

What was that, Tom?

Why the hell did you let me go sailing?

George! Hey, what do you say?

Oh, George!

George!

George, how do you feel? I feel like a bag of shaken bacon.

Aloha. Hey, these must be the Wahine's.

No, these are the Jefferson's. And those are the Wilson's. No, Florence, Wahine

means woman.

Oh.

Oh, what is it? This is Andrew, the dude who saved our lives.

Oh, no.

Aloha, but I never do nothing.

Well, listen, there's something I'd like you to do for us.

I want you all to come to our luau.

Luau? You mean we get to go to a real Hawaiian luau?

You got it. Come on, we're digging up the emu now.

Emu? I thought we were having pig.

We are.

Emu is what we call the hole where we cook the pig.

What are you laughing at? You didn't know that.

I did, too.

Leon told me how they buried the pig in the ground and then cook it.

Oh. Well, that's the switch.

When Florence makes dinner, we bury the food after she cooks it.

Oh, that's good.

Hey, look, we need to meet you.

You know, I don't think we should stay for the luau.

Well, why not, George?

Well, because they might not have enough food.

I mean, they just invited us. They didn't invite all these people. They

know Florence and Leon were coming.

Well, that's only two extra people. I know, but it was also Willis. You know,

can eat the whole pig himself.

Come on, George, just stop acting silly.

Oh, what?

Sanders. What did you say?

Colonel Sanders.

Hey, that's it. We'll get a couple of buckets of chicken.

Excuse me. Yeah? My name is Ken Sanders, and I'm from... Paradise Acres, right?

Yes, how did you know? I was standing downwind.

You know what? We would invite you to the Lou Alba, but we already got one

piece.

Damn, where did Leon put the keys?

I don't know. He probably took them with him.

Let's look on the floor. Maybe we can get another set.

George, this is crazy.

It might take two hours before we even find a Colonel Sanders.

Great.

Look at that watch.

How many local people you can throw off their land for pay for that?

That's very funny, young man. Now, if you'll excuse me, we have work to do.

Not here, bro. Not today.

What makes you think you can stop us? Simple arithmetic.

It's three of us and only two of you. That equals no way.

Damn, no keys.

You're wrong, son.

There's three of us, too.

Hey, Jefferson!

George, who is that man?

How should I know?

Well, he called your name.

He did?

Man, what a lucky guest. Come on, we've just walked to Colonel Sanders.

George, that's crazy.

Yeah, you're right. Let's run.

Hey, George, wait.

George, you know this guy?

Of course he knows me. We're business partners, right, George?

Well, um... Business partners?

Yeah, in Paradise Acres.

You're part of Paradise Acres?

What's Paradise Acre? They're the people who turned off our land to build

condominiums. Yeah, they're the ones who are going to tear up this land and put

big buildings in it. There's no more feeling for the land or the people who

lived here a thousand years.

Look, buddy, this land was here long before you and your ancestors discovered

it. You don't own these islands.

You're right, bro.

But neither do you. The land belongs to no one and to everyone.

Yeah, and the difference between you and us is we, like, save these islands.

You, like, destroy them.

Come on, let's face it. You can't stop progress.

You think throwing people off their land is progress?

Well. Progress should help people, not hurt them.

We've wasted enough time talking. Now, come on, George. Let me show you where

we're going to put the tennis courts.

Look, Sanders, I didn't know that this project meant throwing people off their

land. George, they'll find somewhere else to go. They always do.

Yeah, but these people are my friends.

Oh, come on, George. You can't let friendship get in the way of a business

decision. Now, don't be a fool.

Don't be calling me no fool, chump. All right.

Jefferson, you're forgetting that I'm the one who's going to make you rich.

Oh, look, I am already rich, chump.

Now you take your little project, stick it in your mouth, and start heading

south. All right!

Okay, Jefferson, but don't think you're going to stop this project.

Paradise Acres will be built. Not by me, it won't. And if you don't get off of

these people's land right now, I'm going to throw you off.

Jefferson, you're a fool.

Oh, wait, take it easy, bro, take it easy. Damn, Alec!

Oh, I'm so proud of you. You did the right thing.

Yeah, for them maybe, but not for me.

What?

Well, see, Weezy, just before we left New York, I went to the doctor's to have

my blood pressure checked.

And the doctor said it was high.

How high?

Well, high enough for them to make me take this vacation.

What?

You told me we came here because you love me. Yeah, well, I do love you,

but see, the doctor told me if I didn't take time off to relax that I'd be dead

soon. And being dead ain't nothing like being with you.

Oh, thanks, George.

I think.

And see, ever since I've been in Hawaii, I've been feeling great.

That's why to keep our blood pressure down, we gotta move here.

We gotta move here? George, I think you are overreacting.

The hell I am.

Hey, Doc!

Yeah, George.

Hey, tell her, Doc.

If we move over here, my blood pressure will stay down and we have a lot of

years to live together.

That's not right, George.

Oh, it's okay, Doc. We're married.

No, no, no. What I meant was living here won't keep your blood pressure down any

more than living in New York will keep it up.

Well, how come it's not as high here as it is back there?

Probably because you left the stress and tension of your work behind you,

George. You move it over here and your problem will be the same.

Oh, then where a person lives doesn't make any difference.

That's right, George.

Now, the only move you need to make is to your doctor's office for regular

visits. Take it easy.

Follow his advice.

You should be fine.

Oh, you hear that, Weasley? We can live in New York.

Hey, come on, George. We're picking up the pig now.

One more thing, George.

Go easy on the pig.

You shouldn't eat too much pork.

Right, Doc. Let's go, Weas. Now, George, I hope you remember what the doctor

said about relaxing.

Look, believe me, Weas, if I learn anything in Hawaii, it's how to relax.

That's good.

Come on, everybody.

Let's party. We have a beer.

Come on, let's get down.

bringing us from the airport, Lionel. Hey, no problem.

Listen, how much did you have to pay for excess baggage?

Nothing. Ross already had a ticket.

Well, from everything you told us, it sounds like you had a really great time.

Oh, we did.

And I can't think of anything that could have made our trip any better. I can.

You could have brought me and Jenny along.

Oh, now, Lionel, is that all you can think about yourself?

So what did you get me?

Oh, Jenny, you're going to love it. I got you one of those Miley Leaf

What? A Miley Leaf.

It's still packed, but... Oh, Florence, why don't you show Jenny yours?

Oh, that's beautiful.

Hawaiian legend says that anyone who wears one of these is going to have lots

good luck.

Oh, so is it working? I don't think so.

I'm still working for Mr. Jefferson.

Flores, get that.

I got to get my money back.

Lina, Jenny, you two have to go to Hawaii someday.

Oh, you enjoyed it, huh?

I wouldn't have missed it for a million dollars.

Shoot, if we'd stay there a couple more days, that's what it would cost me.

Well, Mr. Jefferson, it's Kurt Randall, your accountant. He's got to talk to

you. Man, I ain't been home two minutes and nobody wants to talk business.

Tell him I'm still on vacation.

Tell him to call me Monday morning.

But he says it's real important.

Nothing can be that important.

Just take a message.

Take a message?

Call me Monday?

Mom, you better get back to Hawaii quick.

Why? To find my real dad. This don't sound like him.

No, Lionel. You are now looking at a new George Jefferson.

Hawaii taught me how to really relax.

And I ain't gonna let business drive me crazy no more.

Mr. Randall says that Blue Sky Cleaners has agreed to your price, and he's going

to go ahead and sell all your stores.

Say what?

Oh, my God. I forgot to throw Randall the dealers off.

George, where are you going?

I got to straighten things out, Weasley. This is terrible.

But don't you remember what you learned in Hawaii?

Oh, yeah. Aloha.
