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

To a deep.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

No, you should be ashamed.

Sneaking up on a body like that.

Oh, I'm sorry, Florence, but I had to
sneak.

I didn't want to disturb your reading.

Well, that was very considerate.

To return the favor, why don't I dust
your furniture for you?

No, that's very nice.

Florence, would you believe tomorrow
will be 33 years George and I have been

married? No.

as a matter of fact I don't believe you
went on a second date with the man hey I

had to it was his turn to pay I'm just
kidding congratulations really

oh thanks Florence

Oh, I knew I heard some kind of buzz.

Miss Weasley.

She's in the bedroom. Why? Good.

I want you to help me do something.

Uh -oh. Is this going to be that I can
do it myself, but I'm just too lazy kind

of help?

Or that Florence Johnston is my last
hope kind of help?

Because if it's the hope kind of help,
you ain't going to get no help until you

help my hope check.

Okay.

Will $50 help?

I'd say there's hope.

Now, look. Now, you know, as you know,
tomorrow is me and Weezy's anniversary,

right? I've already bought Miss
Jefferson a sympathy card.

Oh.

That's so nice, Florence. Now, look.
See, I want to get another diamond put

Weezy's wedding ring without her knowing
about it, but I can't. Why not?

Because she never lets it out of her
sight.

I mean, let's face it, Florence. When
George Jefferson gives somebody

it's not easy for them to part with it.

That would explain this headache I've
had for the last second.

Florence. Okay, okay. What do you want?

Okay, I want you to get it away from her
for me.

See, when she asks for breakfast in the
morning, I want you to get her some

toast with a lot of butter.

And then you yell, look, a duck. When
she turns to look at it, you slip the

off of her finger and just give it to
me.

You spent all morning thinking of that.

Well, can you come up with a better
plan?

Well, now just ask her for it. Just ask
her for it, just like that. She's just

going to give it to you, just like that,
huh?

That's what's so cute about you. You're
always looking for the easy way out.

You're so innocent, so naive, so dumb.

Life's not that simple, Florence. If you
can't, you gotta plan for it. Excuse

me, excuse me.

Uh, Miss Jefferson, I noticed that your
wedding ring was dirty. If you take it

off, I'll clean it for you.

Oh, why, thanks, Florence.

Very thoughtful of you.

See, now you're learning.

Now, the next thing I want you to do is
take it down to Tishman's Jewels. He

already knows what I want done, okay?

Then I want you to pick it up for me
later.

Okay, but it'll cost you another 50
bucks.

Another 50 bucks?

Yeah. The first 50 was to get the ring
from your wife.

It'll cost you another 50 to get me to
do your legwork for you.

Robbery.

Robbery? See, Mr. Jefferson, that's
what's so cute about you.

I mean, you're so innocent, so naive, so
dumb.

Yes, speaking.

What? You kidding?

When?

How much was taken?

Okay, okay, okay. Just call the police.
I'll be right there.

George, what happened?

Oh, my messenger from a Brooklyn store
just got mugged. They got away with my

whole week's proceeds.

Oh, George, was anybody hurt?

Yeah, me. I said they got away with my
whole week's proceeds.

George, I meant your messenger. Is he
all right?

I'll find out when I get there, but if
he gave up that money without a fight...

You can send him flowers.

Oh, sure.

I mean, what's a human life compared to
a whole week's proceeds? See that? You

understand. Why couldn't it have been
you that got mugged?

Ed, you okay? Yeah.

They got me from behind, Mr. Jefferson.
I didn't even see what they looked like.

I'm sorry.

Okay, okay, Ed, don't worry about it.
The money's not important. The man

that you're okay.

Same. Hey, look.

When you feel up to it, I want you to
fill out this repayment plan.

Mr.

Jefferson. Officer Barrett.

How you doing? Fine. How about you? Hey,
look. Never mind that.

What the hell happened here?

Well, I just got here myself only 15
minutes ago, but so far the evidence

to one thing.

What? All your money is gone.

What evidence have you got?

All your money is gone.

Now, according to Ed, he left here cut
through the alley on his way to the

He was struck from behind, rendered
unconscious, and robbed of your whole

proceeds. Are those the facts, sir?
Yeah.

So what does all that mean?

All your money is gone.

Quit saying that. I know all my money is
gone. What I want to know is who took

it. We believe some kids are
responsible.

Kids?

Ed, you mean to tell me you let some
kids take my money? But, Mr. Jefferson,

got knocked out.

With what, a slinky?

Would you do this to me, Ed?

Haven't I been good to you? Don't you
remember six years ago that day when

wife had triplets? I let you go home
early?

I'm speaking of going home early.

Again?

Well, my head hurts.

Okay.

But look, remember on your way home, you
got to pass that nursery school. You

know, those kids get pretty mean when
they're teasing.

Mr. Jefferson, I think your problem is
you're getting hung up on the word kids.

What are you talking about?

Well, I don't think we're dealing with a
glee club here.

I have a hunch your messenger was
attacked by a very tough street gang.

A street gang?

Are you sure?

Nope.

But it sounds good.

Listen, I'm through in here. I'm going
out into the alley and investigate the

scene of the crime.

Well, you think you might find anything?

Nope.

But it can't hurt to go through the
motions.

What the hell? I'm a professional.

I'll go with you. You think there's any
chance you might recover some of my

money? Nope.

Well, maybe.

You've got all the serial numbers.

Serial numbers.

Quick, Ed, give me the serial numbers.
Huh?

I think one bill had a six on it.

Good work, Ed.

One bill had a six on it.

Well, ain't you going to write it down?
Oh, forgive me.

One bill had a six.

Ed, look, would you lock up, please?

And see if you can do it without getting
knocked out, okay?

Hey, find any clues yet? Not yet. Look,
don't you think you might be in this

over your head?

Why don't you turn it over to the FBI?

Well, you ain't detecting a damn thing.

Sometimes it helps to lay out the crime
step by step.

Now, here's the offer.

And here's the treat your store is on.
Right. Now, I figure the gang must have

waited for your messenger here.

Yeah. And my messenger entered here.

Now, the gang spotted him and cut him
off, met him here.

Then he tried to escape here.

But that was the dead end.

So they headed him off here.

Uh -huh.

Then they tried to run him down here.

Only to be cut off here.

Yeah, so what does all that mean?

Simple.

You lose.

Try for two out of three.

Look, Barry, why don't we just stick to
trying to solve the crime, okay?

One thing I know for sure, there's no
such thing as a perfect crime.

Every criminal makes a mistake.

They got all your money, didn't they?
Yeah. Then I don't think they made a

mistake.

Hey, what all on this candy wrapper's
been here?

Jefferson, why don't you just let me do
the police work?

What are you talking about? This could
be a clue.

Say, maybe you're right.

Try this on for size.

Your messenger was bashed over the head
with a tootsie roll.

Then the fiends covered their tracks by
eating the weapon.

Oh!

So in other words, the crime was
committed by a tootsie roll lover.

That's exactly what they want us to
think.

But in reality, the crime was
perpetrated by kids who like some other

You sure?

Nope.

Let's look around for something that
means something, okay?

Hey.

It's a $5 bill.

It's probably mine. And no... No sticks
on it.

I'm the keeper.

Well, I've done all I can do here.

Think I'll mess around in some other
case till it's time to knock off.

You're a real comfort, Barrett.

Serve and protect.

You know something? It's a good thing
I've got a good accountant. Or my taxes

will be paying your salary.

Here.

Hey.

I wonder who this watch belongs to.

Me.

But I have a... feeling I'm going to
like yours much, much better.

Louise, aren't you even curious?

No. I don't know how you do it, Louise.
I mean, if it were me, and I knew that

my anniversary present was probably in
the apartment, I'd be tearing the place

upside down trying to find it.

Well, George...

me and he wants it to be a surprise, so
you check the closet and I'll check the

cupboards. Right. Right.

Hey, look at this.

Do you believe that people actually used
to wear these silly hats?

Tom,

that's my hat.

I left it here yesterday.

Oh, uh, Louise, don't you agree that
this is a pretty silly -looking hat?

I got it for, as a gift.

Well, I guess what I'm trying to say is
that, uh, when it comes to hats, um,

that certainly is one.

Yeah. And when it comes to Big Mouth,
that certainly is one.

What are you laughing at, lady?

What happened to you? I got robbed.

Yes, Louise told us about the store.

I'm talking about me just now, right
beside the store.

You're kidding.

Do I look like a man in search of a
laugh?

Maybe not, but you're certainly going to
get one.

Oh, come on, George. If I was standing
there in my underwear, you'd laugh. No,

wouldn't. I'd take out avalanche
insurance.

George, why didn't you borrow some
clothes from your store?

Because it was locked. They stole my
keys.

George, are you hurt?

Yeah, my pride.

They took my clothes, my wallet, my
watch.

They even took my special money clip.

Oh, not the one shaped like the Statue
of Liberty where you push the money in

our cleavage.

Yeah, that's the one.

Crime in this city has gotten out of
hand. Somebody's got to do something

it.

No, dear.

But what's more important is that you
were all right. Did you get a good look

who did it, George?

Yep. Did you tell the police?

Yep. But they said I'm not the only one
that's having trouble with street gangs.

A street gang?

They're a big problem in the city now.

How old were they?

Oh, 13, 14.

Oh, what did they do?

Threaten you with a slinky?

You know something, Willis? It takes a
chunk to laugh at a man that's been

attacked. God knows I'd never do that.

Besides, you weren't even there.

And these were some tough girls.

Girls?

Oh, Helen, did you hear that? George got
mugged by girls.

It's not a laughing matter, Tom. Some of
these girl gangs are more vicious than

the boys. Thank you, Helen. Ooh, they're
vicious, all right. They expose

George's legs to public view.

Oh, this is a nice hat, though, really.

Oh, George, thank God you gave them what
they wanted.

I'd rather lose all the money in the
world than lose you.

Speak for yourself, Weave.

I'm going to handle those girls. Oh, of
course, of course.

I was pretty vicious in my day.

Oh, sure, but little girls probably
weren't that tough then.

Yeah, well, I'm going to make sure this
never happens again.

Oh, you mean you're going to show them
who wears the pants around here.

Pants, get it? He's not wearing any
pants.

Mr.

Jefferson, your sandwiches are ready.

Yeah,

I still got it.

Well, being gay... get rid of it.

Listen, I got the stamina of a horse.

Speaking of horses, how you doing,
Florence?

Well, I feel good.

Here you go, Hercules. Why don't you use
some of them muscles to open this jar

of pickles?

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

after I loosened it up.

You know, this reminds me of my gang war
days.

I used to be in a gang, you know.

The whole neighborhood knew it.

Well, I guess so. Everybody heard of the
Seven Dwarfs.

Oh, uh, by the way, here's Miss
Jefferson's wedding ring.

Oh. Ain't that beautiful?

You know, I sure hope I get one like
this someday.

Don't worry about it, Floss. You'll get
married sooner or later.

You really think so?

Sure. As soon as the guy divorces his
wife.

Frankenstein. How come you had me make
all these sandwiches anyway?

Because that's my master plan for
getting back at those girls that ripped

off.

Remember a few months ago I hired that
bodyguard named Hugo?

You mean the walking coke machine?

That's him. Well, anyway, he'll be over
here in a few minutes. And me and him

are going to pay those girls a little
social call.

Believe me, one look at Hugo and those
girls will go back to making brownies

like they used to.

Bigger the devil.

And you should, because someday he'll be
your landlord.

Hugo! Food!

Hiya,

Florence.

Remember me?

Uh, I'm not sure.

You have one of those faces that blend
in the crowd.

Good one.

So, what are we doing tonight, Mr.
Jefferson?

We're going to go out and scare some
girls.

You got me a date?

No, Hugo, it's not a date. See, I just
got ripped off, right?

It was a girl gang called The Strays. So
what we're going to do is we're going

to go down there. I don't want to rough
them up or nothing. I just want to teach

them a lesson.

I don't know much about teaching.

A more kind of the physical type.

Gee, I always admired you for your mind.

Hey, thanks, Florence.

I like you, too.

Say, are you married?

Uh, yes, I am.

Married, very married.

I mean, married.

Too bad.

She makes a good sandwich.

Wait a minute.

What? See, I've been doing a lot of
thinking lately.

You? Thinking? Well,

better late than never.

Thanks. Anyway, last Thursday, I was
choking this guy down by the doctor.

And it occurred to me that I could be
doing something more with my life.

I want to go to medical school and be a
doctor or something.

You? Doctor?

Sure, if Julius Irving can be one, why
can't I?

I mean, look, couldn't these be the
hands of a surgeon?

Hugo, these hands weren't meant for
storing people together. They were meant

ripping people apart.

Well, I do have a flair for it.

You were put on this planet to horrify
people.

That's your gift.

Take a look.

See, now wouldn't you be scared if you
saw you coming down the dark night?

I guess so, if I didn't know me so well.

Now, here's my plan. I found out that
these girls hang out in this park near

Brooklyn store, right?

So what I'm going to do is I'm going to
get them to chase me over into the alley

across the street.

And that's where you'll be hiding.

You follow me?

I thought they were the ones following
you.

They are!

Will you just listen?

Okay. After they chase me into the
alley, you just jump out and scare them.

How?

What should I do?

Pretend they stole your lunch.

There,

come on.

Uh -huh.

We got you this time.

So you figure you had another easy hit,
huh?

Well, this time you bit off more than
you could chew. Because my man here, his

mother was a human being and his father
was an angry rhinoceros.

Now maybe, just maybe, I could call him
off.

That's if you promise me that you won't
show your faces around here again.

Is it a deal?

Oh, the little girl's got a knife.
That's supposed to scare me? My man here

knives for breakfast.

Right, Hugo?

Hugo!

Hey,

Hugo.

Hey,

what do you say we all go get ice cream
Sunday?

kind of wise guy, right?

Turn around. Hey, what are you doing?

Shut up.

You got another watch, man? No, I don't.

Yeah, let's take all his clothes off
again.

What's in that pocket? Nothing.

Nice.

Thanks. Hey, wait a minute. That don't
belong to me.

I know. Now it belong to me.

But I'm telling you, that's for my wife.
It's for our anniversary.

I'm your wife.

Hey, wait a minute. You can't take...

Hmm.
