Well, we're moving on up, moving on up,
too deep down, moving on up, to a

deep...

Keep him, George.

The opera starts in an hour, and he
hasn't even called.

I hope he gets good seats.

The ones he got us last time were so far
back, we were practically in the

refreshment stand.

Oh, darn. I meant to thank George for
that.

Anyway, not to worry. Even if we do have
to sit far back tonight, I'm bringing

something along that will make the
evening very enjoyable for all of us.

What, no doughs?

Good thought. But no, I bought each one
of us a pair of opera glasses.

Oh, Tom, you're so thoughtful.

Oh, Tom's always been thoughtful. I
remember once when we were first

admired a beautiful fox furred sax.

Of course, we couldn't afford it then.

But a year later, after his first
promotion, Tom had it delivered.

Oh, it's a little like George.

One day I saw a leather coat I liked,
and the next day he gave me a hunting

knife and a tanning kit.

Hey, what's up?

What's everybody all dressed up for?

Oh, very funny, George.

Where are the tickets? What tickets?

What's going on?

I'll give you a hint. You want to know
why everybody's dressed up? Yeah. If you

ain't got no tickets, it's to go to your
funeral.

George, where are the tickets for the
opera that you were supposed to pick up?

I'll call the box office and see if we
can still get some tickets.

Don't be looking at me, Weezy. You want
to mess up.

It's your fault.

My fault? I must have reminded you 50
times to pick up those tickets. Well,

that's what I'm talking about. Instead
of nagging me every five minutes, you

should have lumped all of that time
together and went and got the tickets

yourself.

Well, I just asked the box office about
our chances of getting in tonight.

What did they say?

They're sold out.

Oh, thank God for that. Now I'm off the
hook.

Wait a minute, everybody.

Now that we're all dressed up, why don't
we go out and have a nice dinner?

And it'll be my treat.

See, that weed's getting a free dinner
out of this. Ain't you glad you messed

now?

Okay, so I forgot. I blew it, okay?

Now, can I say something on my behalf?

aren't you more thoughtful?

Why aren't you more like Tom Whizzy? My
skin can only stretch so far.

You know, Mr. Jefferson, you're always
making fun of Mr. Willis, and he don't

never say nothing bad about you.

Though I bet he's tempted to.

Well, that's right.

For instance, Florence,

what are some of the things I'd be
tempted to say?

Well, you could... Excuse me.

No wonder you don't like opera.

It goes over your head.

But then again, what doesn't?

Oh, was I ever tempted to say that?

But I didn't.

And when you forgot the tickets, he
could have said, why didn't you find a

scalper? Oops, I see you did.

Oh, I was dying to say that.

But I didn't.

Or he could have talked about your big
mouth.

Go, go, I love it.

He could have said, when you yawn, I'm
surprised cars don't pull up and order a

jumbo jack.

But I didn't.

And I appreciate it, child, because
that's what I live for.

Excuse me.

at gracious.

You know what I'd do if you were my
husband? Yeah, you'd be able to roll

your bed.

But I'd have no reason to want to.

George, don't you see you have ruined
our whole evening?

Why is it you constantly do thoughtless
things?

Like Wednesday.

It was Florence's day off. I asked you
to pick up some dinner. You forgot.

No, I didn't.

Well, I didn't get any. You were hungry,
too?

We should have asked Tom to get our
ticket.

Oh, I would have been glad to, but I was
busy picking up Louise's cleaning.

Okay, I'm the bad guy for a change, and
he's Mr. Wonderful.

But, George, you have to admit that Tom
is thoughtful.

You could learn a few things from him.

Well, I'd be glad to teach you, George.

It'd be the thoughtful thing to do.

You actually think that you're more
thoughtful than me?

Well, only in every aspect of our lives.

That's on a bad day.

So he never messes up, huh? Well, when
he does, it's never anything serious.

Okay. How about the time we were down at
Charlie's bar till 2 a .m. and you were

supposed to be home at 11?

He calls me every 10 minutes.

It was the thoughtful thing to do.

Oh, yeah?

How about the time your wife asked you
to buy her a watch for her birthday and

you forgot?

He bought me a mink instead.

Well, yes, Helen already had a watch,
and I felt that with fall approaching,

would be the thoughtful... The
thoughtful thing to do, okay.

Okay, he's perfect. He's America's most
thoughtful husband.

He calls his wife. He picks up the
laundry. He buys his wife a mink coat.

buys his cousin life insurance.

He buys us dinner.

What? What, Cousin Tom?

Well, uh... Oh, it's not the thoughtful
thing to do to forget your cousin's

name. It was Meg, wasn't it?

Meg?

Your cousin Meg?

The one who hates me and has cursed our
marriage every day of her life?

That's the one, dear.

I got a hunch you did something wrong,
Weaves.

After all she's said and done to me, you
bought her a life insurance policy?

I did not buy her a life insurance
policy. I bought one for myself and sort

made her the beneficiary.

Which means she sort of gets the money.

Sort of.

Now I'm sure he did something wrong.

But, sweetheart, you've got to
understand that she's lonely, she's

she's very unhappy.

She is bitter, she's vicious, and worst
of all, she's a racist.

My instincts were right.

Right here's where he blew it.

Helen, you have to take into account
that Meg and I were brought up together.

mean, we were very close at one time. I
understand all that, Tom, but you know

how I feel about her. Yet you took our
money to buy her a policy without even

telling me.

Well, sweetheart, I didn't want you to
be upset.

So I thought the thoughtful thing to do
was... Oh, can the thoughtful trash Tom.

George,

don't you think we should leave Tom and
Helen alone? Weezy, if they're going to

fight. The thoughtful thing is to watch.

Well, now that it's out in the open, I
guess there's no harm in telling you

the insurance policy is worth $100 ,000.
I bought it a long time ago. Now let's

eat. What do you say, everybody?

French or Italian?

Okay, since you buy it. Just wait one
minute. The only thing that's keeping me

from strangling you, Tom Willis, is that
your cousin would get the $100 ,000.

Helen. Don't you think you might be
overreacting to this? Stay out of it,

Louise.

I guess you don't.

Tom, your cousin Meg refused to come to
our wedding.

And she never so much as sent our
children our birthday card. Oh, yes,

that wonderful present she sent me last
Christmas.

An I .D. bracelet engraved gold digger.

Hold it.

Maybe I can help out. George, please.
Trust me, Louise.

Now, look.

There are two ways to look at this. The
negative way is to say that the gold

digger ID bracelet was mean and vicious.

Now, the positive way is to say, hey,
now here's a racist with a sense of

Thank you.

By the way, how did he find out about
this and I didn't? Well, maybe because

doesn't make me pay for the information
the way you do now.

Oh, really?

Now, now, let's calm down.

and look at this problem rationally.

Helen, why don't we go upstairs and
discuss this privately? There's

I'd like to say to you there.

No, I'll go upstairs, and you can say it
here.

You seem to be so much more comfortable
doing things behind my back.

Oh, don't you think you're driving this
into the ground? Look, I did it. I'm not

going to change it. Let's forget about
it. It's in the past.

So is my trust in you.

Oh, well, then maybe I shouldn't come
home tonight.

Maybe you shouldn't come home ever.

Thank God I forgot those tickets. You
two would have been fighting all night.

Hey, we... Sorry I'm late.

One of Cunningham's cleaning stores
burned.

Why did that make you late?

Well, I had to stop by our church and
give thanks.

You know what Tom Willis slept on last
night.

No, but I'm sure whatever it is, it's
unrecognizable by now.

He slept on a hotel bed.

George, our best friend's marriage is on
the rocks.

Oh, come on, Weasley, it ain't that bad.

They've had fights before.

Then Willis gives Helen flowers.

She gives him a tub of Rocky Road and
everything's cool.

Look, Weasley, as disgusting as it
sounds, they're the perfect couple.

Not today.

Tom called Helen this morning, and he
told her he was staying at the Mayflower

Hotel. Well, at least they're talking.

He called so she'd know where to forward
his mail.

You mean it's that bad?

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

And I think you owe him an apology for
letting this secret slip out in the

place. No, it's his fault. He should
have never let it slip out to somebody

me. He should have known better.

Well, I... I still think you owe him an
apology.

So go see him, and maybe he'll come home
and settle things with Helen.

Yeah. Don't say nothing about it, but I
have been worried about him.

I mean, the only way he's going to get
out of this mess is if somebody caring,

diplomatic, and understanding steps in.

You're right. I'd better go. No, no, no.

I'm the one that accidentally caused the
whole thing.

It's my fault that he's standing in the
hotel room.

It's my fault that his wife will never
ever speak to him again.

But you gotta admit one thing, Weave.
What's that?

Me going down there is damn thoughtful.

and a newspaper down in the lobby.

And here.

49 cents off on a Phillips screwdriver.

It's a coupon.

Do you think that after all the damage
you've done, you can walk in here with a

coupon and try to win me over?

Well, it's good through July.

Well, still mad at me, big buddy?

Well, you've all but ruined my marriage.

But, Willis, I'm telling you, I didn't
know. I figured Helen already knew about

the insurance policy.

Oh, that's okay, George.

It's just that I guess what made me so
mad at you at the time was that, well,

when I first told you about that
insurance policy, I remember I said,

don't tell Helen about this, because if
she finds out, it will be the end of our

marriage. But when I look back on that
moment, perhaps I was a little vague.

So now why don't you just go home and
forget this?

Well, why should I? I've done nothing
wrong.

Besides, you're assuming that I miss
Helen.

Willis, I stayed in this hotel before.

These pictures weren't in my room.

Oh, hey, by some strange coincidence,
they put me in the Helen Willis suite,

okay?

You really miss her, don't you?

I certainly do not.

Well, look, I brought myself plenty of
work to keep me busy.

Oh, I'm having a high old time over here
all by myself.

Oh, I don't miss Helen at all.

Oh, God, let that be her.

Darling! Hi, sweetheart.

Home service.

me i'm looking for the willis party he's
it sign here please sure yeah

oh thank you uh let me get this great uh

all of this and this and that is your
dinner

uh -huh do me a favor would you stand
right here

put your hand right on there that's hot
i'm sorry okay just stay room Remaki.

Great.

See, this is for the guys in the
kitchen.

People like you give them a real sense
of purpose.

Really?

Oh, well, look, George, thanks for
coming over, but I'm getting along fine.

Just fine. I don't miss Helen a bit. Ha!
Not a bit.

Oh, boy.

You know, I ordered all this food, and
now I'm not even hungry.

Say that again?

not hungry. You're not hungry? Now I
know something's wrong.

Look, Willis, why don't you go back home
and bring everything back to normal?

Listen, George, I just can't apologize.

I mean, all I did was try to take care
of a member of my family. And if Helen

can't accept that, well, well, then she
can't accept me. But you got a great

marriage. What are you trying to ruin
it? Oh, I'm not trying to ruin anything.

It's just that in our relationship,
well, I'm always the one who ends up

apologizing. Well, this time it's her
turn.

I mean, I love Helen, but she has to
understand something about me.

I mean, if I respond to my cousin's
hatred with more hatred, then I'm every

as wrong as she is.

Hey, you're right.

What am I doing talking to you? She's
the one I should be talking to.

Hang in there, old buddy. Wait a minute,
George. Why are you so interested in

all of this? Never mind.

No, no, I'd really like to know. Why do
you want to see Helen and me get back

together again?

Well, because you're mine.

Well, okay.

Because you're mine.

Can you believe it, Louise?

Tom hasn't even called. He hasn't made
the slightest move to apologize.

Oh, come on, Helen.

Someday you two will look back...

it's not your fault. I'm better off
knowing that my husband keeps secrets

me. He misses you, you know.

Oh, really?

Then why hasn't he called?

Well, because it's my fault. I forgot to
give him your number.

I'm sorry.

I know that you two are doing your best
to get us back together again, but that

can't happen until Tom comes to me and
apologizes.

Well, I went over to his hotel and tried
to get him to come back.

Oh, George, you didn't have to do that,
but I appreciate your effort.

I must say, you're being pretty
considerate.

Well, you know I'm not the kind of guy
that goes around bragging about himself.

But if the truth be known, I am the
nicest guy I ever met.

George Jefferson, you are such a... a
George Jefferson.

Blow, blow, Louise.

No, Louise, you can't fault George in
this.

He really tried.

Look, Helen, I want to think something.

Uh, George.

When you said something before, Tom
wound up sleeping across town.

We'd kind of like to keep him in the
state.

This is important.

Why don't you go make some coffee? I
want to talk to Helen man to man.

Helen.

Okay, but no matter what he says... I
hope we can still be friends.

Now, listen, George.

If you're going to tell me that Tom is
right and I'm wrong, forget it. Because

disagree completely.

It doesn't matter who's right or who's
wrong.

Oh, really?

Right. Look, you're sitting here.

Your husband is sitting over in some
hotel room. That's what's wrong.

Look, George. Now, look. We have both
met people like his cousin, Meg.

She hates me.

And I don't have to tell you what it's
like to be hated.

Anyhow, I hate supporting a woman who
Tom knows hates me. But you ain't

to that woman. You married to Tom.

See, that's what happened. The whole
thing started because I was jealous of

You were?

Yeah. Because everybody was talking
about how great he was, what a

husband he was. So I got mad.

But why?

Because of the truth.

Now listen, George. No, no, no. You
listen. Look, the man is over in the

right now.

He's lonely.

He's depressed. He's sad.

He's got the place plastered with every
picture of you ever taken.

Every one?

Every one.

Oh, not the one in that ugly red dress.

Oh, you mean the one where you had your
arm around Tom's neck and you would lean

up against the wall in front of
Starlight Casino? That's the one.

He had every one up at that one. Oh.

You know, I know that you're trying to
make Tom seem like a nice guy, but...

not trying to make him seem like a nice
guy. He is a nice guy.

Okay, take, for instance, the opera
glasses.

I never would have thought of that.

If Wheezy had told me, she couldn't see.
I would have told her to stand up.

But see, that's the way he is. He thinks
about everybody. That's his problem. He

cares more about everybody else than he
does for himself.

Well, you know, I'm surprised to hear
you say that.

The way you're always sort of slamming
him and making snide remarks about

his girth.

Yeah, well, I know I do that. But see,
that's another point. I mean...

He has to be one heck of a friend to
take all of that stuff from me.

And let's face it, it ain't easy being
my friend.

You can say that again.

It ain't so easy being your husband,
either. Oh, now, wait a minute. Now,

up. Okay.

Remember way back when, when y 'all
first got married, it wasn't too cool

white man to be married to a black
woman?

I know. No, but do you think it was easy
for me to marry Tom?

Well, that's exactly what I'm talking
about. But you stuck together, both of

you. Don't you know you have a very
special marriage? In fact, extra

But, George, look, he is using our money
to help Meg, a woman who'd like nothing

more than to see our marriage break up.
And if your marriage does break up,

ain't nobody gonna be happy but Meg.

Oh, wait a minute. You know something,
George? Yeah, I know. You're gonna say

I'm right.

You all right, George?

Thank you. I thank you.

There you go.

Well,

I'm glad that's over. It was getting
pretty painful crouching at the door.

But I have to tell you, what you just
said was beautiful.

Yeah, I know. He's almost made myself
cry.

Well, if you two will excuse me, I'm
going to run over to Tom's hotel.

Great. He's in room 422.

Give him this.

32 cents off on a bald peen hat?

Just tell him it's good through July and
you got a friend for life.

I'll say it again.

You were wonderful.

Thank you, Wee.

And I also want to say I was wrong when
I called you thoughtless.

You are the most thoughtful,
considerate, the most wonderful husband

whole world. Hold that thought, Wee.
Hello, Cunningham.

Hey, George Jefferson here.

I got a little riddle for you. Okay? You
ready?

What's black, smells like smoke, and is
great for my business?

You give up?

Your Bronx store. Ha, ha, ha.
