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

I know good music. Well, I've heard
Lionel sing.

Oh, I miss good music.

But you all, you're just fantastic.

Oh, Jenny, you sure you ain't just
saying that?

Would these goosebumps lie to you? And
let me tell you, Florence, nobody can

give me goosebumps.

Honey, my old man can give me
goosebumps, but they go away as soon as

his teeth back in.

Well, anyway, you're all just great.

Shoot, with an audience like this, too,
to practice over here more often. Mm

-mm, Pearl. You know what they say. Just
one rotten apple can spoil the whole

barrel.

Uh -oh, girls. Hold on to your apples.
We got a worm alert.

Aw, Mr.

Jefferson.

Now, don't tell us you weren't even
listening.

The time?

Quarter after one.

Judge, why do you always...

why do you do this whenever Florence
brings her group over here to sing? Oh,

were they singing? I thought that was
King Kong and the Toothpaste.

That reminds me, Mr. Jefferson, you
ought to get that cavity filled.

What cavity?

The one between your ears.

George, why don't you just admit that
Florence and her group are good?

Yeah, they're so good, in fact, that I
was just about to ask them to sing at

Jessica's baptism next Sunday.

Oh, Jenny, do you mean... Sure I do.

What a beautiful idea.

Yeah, I think it's a terrible idea.

What? Come on, we used to have to sing
inside of a church. It's embarrassing.

God's going to be there and everything.

George, Jenny wants Florence to sing.
Yeah, well, I don't. End of argument,

of discussion, end of everything. My
word is final.

So you're singing the baptism?

Definitely. Good.

Now, be there at 9 .30 that morning,
ready to sing.

And if you make it short, you can still
make that engagement you got up in

Transylvania.

To howl at the moon.

I'll show you the moon.

Alice,

it's not worth it. Just remember the
book of Job and be patient.

Yeah, but I doubt that there was
anything in the Bible like him.

Oh, sure there was.

The jawbone of an ass.

Thanks for inviting us over, Florence.

Oh, yeah, we really had a good time.

And thanks for letting us sing at the
baptism.

And you tell that handsome husband of
yours I'm looking forward to seeing him.

Oh, I'm afraid Lionel, he won't be
there. He's in Japan.

Japan? Yes.

My Lionel was picked by his company to
study Japanese advancements in computer

circuitry.

Now you know who to thank for giving
Lionel his brilliant mind.

Thank you, Mr.

Jackson.

Well, aren't you going to open the door
for us? Sure, if it opens to an elevator

shaft.

You better watch him, Ms. Jefferson.

He going to be mean when he grows up.

Mr.

Jefferson, that was the rudest thing I
ever saw. You telling me? They're just

going to barge in on Jessica's baptism
and ruin it.

Ask them, remember?

Yeah, well, Lionel asked me to make sure
that Jessica's baptism was a first

-class ceremony.

Here, Weezy, I figured out the cost.

Mr. Jefferson, this is a spiritual
ceremony. The Lord don't care how much

is coming out your pocket.

And just remember one thing.

It's easier for the camel to pass
through the eye of a needle than it is

rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

A camel can't pass through no eye of no
needle. His hump would get caught.

George, I know you're proud of your
granddaughter, but please, try not to

carried away this time.

Yeah, Mr. Jefferson, I appreciate all
the work that you've done, but, see, I

really prefer a nice, simple ceremony.
Oh, yeah, well, look, with Florence and

her cave -winning things, you've got a
lot more simple.

George, I believe Jenny has made her
decision, okay?

But what about me? Can't I do nothing?

Sure you can, Mr. Jefferson. You know,
they're repairing the stained glass

windows, and we can't see our handbook.
Oh.

So maybe you could stand on the
windowsill so the sun could bounce off

head.

Okay, Jenny, look.

It's your daughter and her baptism.
Don't blame me if, when Florence starts

singing, Jessica thinks she's being
punished for something.

I don't care, Tom. That was one of the
most embarrassing things that you've

done. And just what's so embarrassing
about consumer awareness?

They always let you test drive a new
car.

But we were at the delicatessen for
crying out loud.

I don't think you should know what seems
to be the problem. Oh, I'm sorry,

Jenny. Oh, hello, Louise.

George.

Oh, what's the matter, Helen?

An hour.

One solid hour. It took this man to
choose the food that we're serving after

Jessica's baptism.

You don't rush through 37 kinds of
salami, Helen.

Oh, please.

Really? Oh, Ma, Daddy, could you two
call a little truce? I want to show you

dress that I got for Sunday.

Let's go to my room.

Oh, you should have seen him, Louise. No
sooner had we walked into that deli

than he was all over the slight pan.

And the white business child don't even
make it.

Look,

Willis, I know this might be hard for
you, but try to throw food out of your

mind for a minute.

What? Well, have a seat.

Look, now Jenny invited Florence and her
gospel singers to sing at Jessica's

baptism. Now I want to get somebody
special. What do you think?

Pimento loaf.

You see, I knew I forgot something.

What's a party without pimento loaf?

Willis, Jessica's my granddaughter. She
deserves the best.

Jessica's my granddaughter, too.

All right.

Out of pity, she deserves the best.

What do you want me to say? You want me
to tell you to go out and hire Andre

Crouch? Who, huh?

Florence will be fine. Now, why don't
you two just... Hey, wait a minute.

Andre Crouch. I heard of him.

Ain't he a gospel singer? Yeah, one of
the best in the world.

Oh.

Hey, you know, somehow I never figured
you for a guy who would get down to

gospel music.

Well, I may be an Episcopalian, but I
can still get down.

Yeah, I know you can get down, Willis,
but where do you keep the crane to help

you get back up?

Oh, that's very funny, Jim.

Come on, Willis, now this is serious.
Look, Andre Crouch is just the kind of

person I'm looking for.

But he sang before 20 ,000 people at the
garden.

Why would he sing at Jessica's baptism?

Because I'm George Jefferson.

Well, I'm Tom Willis. Pleased to meet
you.

And I repeat, why would he sing at
Jessica's baptism?

I don't know. I figured a way to get him
there.

What do you know about the man?

Well, he's an ordained minister.

He is?

I thought he was a Baptist minister.

Look, George, why don't you just do
yourself a favor?

Go with Florence.

Look, I want Crouch, and I'm getting
Crouch. And I'm getting pimento loaf.

Tell Helen I went back to that deli.
Wait a minute.

You know what hotel he's staying in?

Well, I read in the paper where they
gave a little party for him at the

And I'll bet they had pimento loaf.

Get out, Willis. I got to find me a
singing minister.

George, you're never going to get him.

I'll get him. I'll get him.

Sure, sure.

Pimento head.

Hello?

Plaza Hotel?

Is Andre Crouch there?

Oh, no, he doesn't know me, but I'm sure
he'll want to talk to me.

My name? George Jefferson.

Uh, the Reverend George Jefferson.

I can't wait to show you the new shoes I
bought when I... Why'd you take the

painting down?

Well... The last

supper.

Well, I figured it would help Florence
with cooking, if she could see what real

food looks like.

But I don't understand.

And a new Bible, too.

Weasley, that thing was 20 years old.
I'm sure a lot of new stuff must have

happened since then.

Look, I got a very special client coming
over any minute.

Why don't you go up to Helen's and show
her your new shoes?

But I wanted to show them to you. I
know, I know, Weasley. But see, just the

other day, Helen pulled me to the side
with tears in her eyes. She was saying,

you know something?

Louise never shows me her new shoes
first.

So why don't you give the woman a break,
Weasley? Go up and show her your new

shoes first.

She'd really appreciate it.

Come on, we need to look. In fact, make
a day of it. Show her your feet too.

Thank you.

Oh, those darn kids of mine.

I don't know how they ever get their
homework done.

Yes, well, this is quite a nice home you
have here.

Oh, thank you. Well, like I always say,
it's easier for a needle to get into

heaven than a rich man to squeeze into a
camel.

Now,

Reverend, about this... Oh, please.

Don't call me Reverend. I'd rather be
referred to as just a simple man of the

cloth. Believe me, if it wasn't for
cloth, I wouldn't be what I am today.

I see.

Now, according to your phone message,
you said you had some sort of vision

night? Oh, that is correct, yes. You
see, there I was lying in my bed when

of a sudden the room got real, real cold
and real, real dark.

Has that ever happened to you?

Yes, many times.

Oh, what's the first thing you do?

Pay my electric bill.

See, you don't understand.

This was different. Like I said, this
angel came in, and he walks over to me

tells me, George, be ye not afraid.

That's it.

What do you make of that?

Well, I would say that it meant...

You shouldn't be afraid.

Of course.

Why didn't I think of that?

Hey,

I really gotta go. Wait, wait, wait.
There was something else.

I was afraid of that.

Like I was saying, this angel guy, he
walks into my room and he tells me that

should get in touch with you because the
next baby girl's baptism you sing at is

destined for greatness. See?

Let me see if I got this straight. You
say an angel appeared unto you in your

bedroom, told you not to be afraid, and
then asked you to get me to sing

at a baptism?

Mm -hmm.

Man, you lying your socks off.

I can't sing.

Hey, I got to go.

Oh, look, see, Sunday is my
granddaughter's baptism. You just got to

her, please.

Here, look, this is a picture.

Ah, she's cute.

Yeah, she's a big fan of yours, too. In
fact, the first word she ever said was,

Andre Crouch is a good singer.

Well, this would mean a whole lot to
you, huh?

All right, I'll do it this one time as a
favor to a fellow man of the cloth.

Oh, thank you. Boy, you really made a
lot of people happy. I'll tell you what,

I'll call the hotel.

And leave the name, the place, and the
date. Okay, but there's just one more

thing. Yeah?

If ever you're lying in your bed and an
angel really does appear unto you, I

hope he's an Edwin Hawkins fan.

George?

I can't believe you got Andre Crouch to
baptize our granddaughter.

I just hope Florence wasn't too hurt
when you told her she couldn't sing.

Well, she was at first, but to cheer her
up, I got Ralph to take on a long

drive.

Now, I know a lot of you are surprised
to see me here this morning. And I was

caught a bit off guard myself.

But now that I'm here, I want to
rejoice.

I want us all to rejoice.

Because a baptism is a presentation of
another soul to the Lord.

Can I get an amen?

You're here.

Now, I would not be here today were it
not for the efforts of a very

special man.

Amen. A kind man.

Amen. A considerate man.

Amen. The Reverend George Jefferson.

Say what?

Reverend?

Well, that's a business term, Weeds. You
know, like the mafia, they use

Godfather. Well, in the dry cleaning
business, we call each other Reverend.

Reverend Jefferson, would you mind just
coming up and saying a few words to the

people?

Come on now, let everybody take a good
look at you.

He's so modest. Come on, come on.

Jefferson, everybody.

Say a few words to the congregation.

God bless you.

Hi.

As I look out over the congregation, I'm
reminded of that old

parable about the rich camel.

get into needle heaven.

But I won't bore you with that.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't we take this moment to bow our
heads in silent prayer.

If we weren't inside a church, I'd death
you.

Is something wrong, ladies?

Ralph tried to take us to Canada.

Well, did you have a nice trip?

Lovely until we hit the moose.

That's Andre Crouch. What's he doing?

He's going to sing in a minute.

Oh, is he going to sing with us?

No, he brought some good singers with
him.

Look,

Florence, you already killed a moose
today.

Let these people in.

Don't worry about these people.

It's the bald eagle I'm after.

Very

inspiring.

Tell me, what do you do at your Easter
service? Stack out on the pews?

I've got to tell you something.

I know, I know. You're not a real
reverend.

You knew all along?

What was my delivery?

My walk?

Even more simple than that.

Jefferson Cleaners does aqua rules.

But if you knew I was tricking you all
along, why did you agree to come here?

Well, George, it's like this. I figured
any man that would go to a lynx that you

went to for his granddaughter must love
her very much.

And I like the same way there's a lot of
love.

All right, brother.

Amen.

At this time, the Reverend Crouch has
agreed to bless us by singing a song.

Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only
Andre Crouch.

Can't nobody prove me like Jesus.

Ain't nobody.

Do me like the Lord.

Ain't nobody.

Do me like Jesus. Because he's my
friend.

Sing along with me.

Ain't nobody.

Do me like Jesus. Ain't nobody.

He's my friend.

Listen.

Let me tell you what it is.

I came to Jesus.

Just as I was.

I was weary.

My heart was so sad.

Trouble, trouble, watch us.

He's my friend.

He's my joy in the midst of sorrow.

He's my friend.

I said he's, he's my friend.

I can lean on him. He's my closest
friend.
