All language subtitles for The Jeffersons s09e17 Bodyguards Are People Too

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

for a change.

Let's go see a wrestling match.

Forget it, George.

Those matches aren't even real.

Every time one guy pins another guy, the
referee counts one, two.

Then the guy in the bottom kicks his
legs up in the air. The guy on top goes

flying off of him. And you don't see the
art in that?

He's just using his opponent's body
weight against him.

I'll show you.

You pin me. I'll use your body weight
against you. God knows it's an awesome

weapon.

I'm going to lay down here, and I want
you to lower yourself on me easily. We

don't want to wind up in the garage.

Well, okay.

Okay, pin me.

I'll count to three.

That's Reverend Taylor at the door. What
should I tell him you're doing?

You can just make up an excuse for
Willis because he probably won't even

as in short stack.

Oh, this is a pleasant surprise. Oh,
yeah. Well, when you weren't at home, I

figured you'd be down here.

Hey, is Ma around?

Oh, she's out shopping with Louise. Why?

Oh, it's just something I want to talk
to her about, but it can wait.

Oh, look, if you've got a problem, who
better to talk to than us?

What?

I'll wait for Ma.

Is there anything I can do, Jenny? Oh,
no, thank you. Yeah, there is something

you can do. No, but you'd probably find
your way back home anyway.

It is impossible to lose my way home.

Everywhere I go, they say, I know you.
You work for that idiot in 12D.

Well, now, sweetheart, if you've got a
problem, you can tell us.

Well, actually, it's something I feel a
little more comfortable talking about to

another woman.

What are you talking about? We just like
women.

Except we know things.

Yes, give us a chance to help.

Well, I don't know. Every time... I come
to you to, you interrupt me, and then

you give me solutions before I can
explain what the problem is.

Well, not this time. Yeah, we promised
to hear you out. Yeah.

Well, okay.

Okay, the thing is... How much do you
need?

You did it again.

Well, you need money, right? No.

George, now wait a minute. We promised
to hear her out.

Thank you, Danny. Then we'll give her
the money.

Go ahead, Danny.

Oh, I'll wait for Mama.

Look. They get their money from us.

Hi,

everybody.

Finally.

Oh, Jenny, where is my beautiful
granddaughter?

She's with the sitter, Ma.

Now, look, I have a bit of a problem.
I've been trying to explain this, but

Daddy and Mr. Jefferson don't
understand.

Well, you know men.

How much do you need?

I can't believe you didn't offer Jenny
money. I don't need money.

Well, you see, how could you be so
insensitive?

Jenny does not need money. Now, will you
be quiet and let the woman finish

talking?

Go ahead, Jenny.

Well, I mean, the thing is that, like, I
want to do a little more with my life.

And, well, I'm thinking about taking a
job.

You got a job.

Oh, Jenny, you sold your fashion design.

Uh, no, not exactly.

Oh, well, is it fashion merchandising?

Uh -uh, no, not quite.

Fashion sales?

Not really.

Oh, whatever it is, I know your new job
is fascinating, exciting, and fun.

What is it?

A file clerk for the Bureau of Public
Works.

Well, of all the works in the world,
public ones are the most fun.

I thought you wanted to be a fashion
designer. Look, I do, but nobody seems

want to take a chance on me. And with
Lionel in Japan, the baby not needing me

as much, I just want to feel like I'm
doing something worthwhile with my life.

mean, anything worthwhile.

Look, haven't you ever felt unfulfilled?

Oh, I have.

I always wanted to be an astronaut.

But I already had a job as a publisher.

So you're just going to give up on
fashion designing? Well, Mom, let's just

that it gave up on me.

Oh, don't get discouraged, Jenny.

Things turn around fast in this world.

That's right.

Hey, this could be somebody right now to
help you out.

Hi, I'm Hugo. Remember me?

Hugo, of course I remember you. What are
you doing here?

Sorry to interrupt while you're having
such a good time.

We're not having a good time.

Oh, then I fit right in.

Hi, Mrs. Jefferson.

Remember me?

Oh, I could never forget you, Hugo.

I'm flattered.

Tom, Helen, Jenny, this is our friend
Hugo.

How do you do?

Hi. Hugo was George's bodyguard.

Oh, I've heard a lot about you.

Oh, good, I hope.

Some.

I wish I could say the same about you.

I was kind of hoping to talk to Mr.
Jefferson alone. Maybe this isn't a good

time. Oh, no, no, Hugo. Stay.

I mean, sit.

I mean, we'll go in the kitchen.

Oh.

Come on. Make yourself at home.

Thanks.

That's quite a little lady you got
there, which is a natural segue into my

problem. Uh -oh, uh -oh. Sit down, Hugo.

Lay it on me.

Any problem of yours is a problem of
mine. Remember that.

Thanks. I really mean it.

Thanks. First of all, Mr. Jefferson, do
you know what today is?

Tuesday.

Tuesday. Thanks.

Anyway, here's my promise.

Have you ever read a book called The
Heart is a Lonely Hunter?

No. Me neither.

But I was putting its headlock on this
guy, and the copy of the book fell out

his pocket, and suddenly I realized my
heart is lonely.

I didn't know that, Hugo. I didn't know
your heart was lonely.

Me neither.

Of course, see, I got everything in
life.

I got a good job collecting for Vinnie's
Easy Loan Company.

I got a nice apartment next door to a
guy with a bathroom.

And I got good posture.

You're looking for somebody to share all
of this with, right?

I knew you'd understand.

This is the springtime of my 29th year.

It's time for me to wed.

Okay, Hugo, you're a great guy, and I'm
happy for you, but can I ask you

something? Why are you telling me all of
this?

Well, I'm not telling just you.

I'm asking all my friends to help.

It's kind of the buckshot theory.

I figure you shoot enough buckshot into
the air, and by and by, you're bound to

bag a bird.

Yeah. I got a shotgun down in the car if
you need a visual aid. No, no, no.

Hi,

Hugo. Hi, Florence.

Remember me?

Yeah, that's why I used your name when I
spoke.

Yeah, but you could have meant anybody.

No, as far as I'm concerned, Hugo, there
can never be another Hugo.

Really?

I'm flattered.

You know, I feel a real bond with you.

So, I'd like to ask you something.

What?

What are you doing for the next 20 to 30
years?

I'm waxing the kitchen floor.

Oh.

It must be plenty dirty.

At least she's got a good excuse.

You should have heard some of the other
ones.

Look, Hugo, back to this woman you're
looking for.

What are some of your preferences?

Preferences? Yeah, you know, like age,
height, weight, color of hair.

Those all sound good.

All you got to do is find a woman with a
color of hair.

Thanks. You're a good friend.

Okay, now, look, when we find this
woman, how can I get in touch with you?

Well, there are two ways to reach me.
Oh.

You could borrow some money from Vinnie
and not pay him back.

Okay, what's the other way?

Or give me a call.

Oh, that sounds easy.

I'll get my address book.

Great. While you're out there, just
remember what my mom always said.

It's just as easy to marry a rich girl
as a poor one. I heard that.

Hi, I'm Hugo.

Remember me?

Oh, yeah. I just met you five minutes
ago.

Oh, sometimes I don't leave much of an
impression.

Oh, of course you do. You were a perfect
gentleman.

Thank you.

What you got there?

Oh, well, just some drawings.

I used to be a fashion designer.

Really? I worked in the fashion industry
myself.

Oh, really?

Yeah. I broke a guy's nose in the
garment district once.

Well, there have been times when I felt
like doing that myself.

It's all in the follow -through.

Can I see your drawings?

Oh, sure.

If you promise not to show me any of
your work.

It's a deal.

These are good.

I always adored culottes.

You make a lot of money from these?

No, I'm afraid not.

I can't even give them away.

I can't believe that.

I'd take one for nothing.

Boy, that's sweet of you to say that. I
think.

No, I really like them. I think you got
real talent.

Well, thank you.

Thank you very much.

You're a very dear man.

I'll see you later.

Maybe.

Okay, Hugh, what's the number?

Oh, I don't got one. The phone company
wouldn't give me a number unless I

to take a telephone.

Okay.

Tell you what.

Why don't you get in touch with me in
about a week?

Listen, while we're on the subject, how
do you tell a woman that you love her?

You just tell her you love her.

Really? Yeah.

I'll do it.

Thanks a lot. I got to go.

I'll see you. Where are you going?

With a little luck to the altar.

you like your coffee? Wheezy, after nine
years, even I know how the man takes

his coffee.

Okay, Einstein, how does Tom like his
coffee?

Next to a tray of donuts.

Now that's a bum rap.

Hey, are these holes getting larger?

Have you heard from Jenny since
yesterday? Oh, not yet. I hope she's all

Oh, don't worry.

I'm sure she'll do what's best for her.
She'll be fine, believe me. Just fine.

Dad, why aren't you two at home?

I looked for you upstairs and you're not
there. Of course not. You are always

here. Jimmy, calm down. What's wrong?

Something about the springtime of his
29th year.

Oh, it was you?

What was me?

Well, you gonna ask me how do you tell
somebody you love him?

And what did you tell him? I told him to
go for it.

But I didn't know it was you.

Oh, now, sweetheart, don't worry.

Just ignore him. He'll go away.

Was that Hugo?

He's serenading Jenny.

Twelve stories down?

God, even Caruso didn't have lungs like
that.

Well, he's determined. I'll give him
that.

Oh, well, he's more than determined.
Why, yesterday, he sent me a side of

With a card.

Meat from my suite.

went down to my mailbox and I found this
poem.

Roses are red, violets are blue, your
feet are small.

Will you go out with me?

Now, sweetheart, I think the proper
thing to do in a case like this is to

back the meat and then tell him that you
already have a husband. Yeah, my son. I

told him.

Well, what did he say?

I even showed him my wedding ring, but
he still won't believe that I'm married.

So I said to him, I said, Hugo, would I
spend $5 ,000 on a piece of jewelry just

to avoid going out with you? And what
did he say?

Other women have.

to this once and for all. The man is
humiliating my daughter, upsetting the

entire building, not to mention
fracturing one of my favorite tunes.

Oh, no, Daddy.

No, Daddy, don't. I mean, look, he
doesn't mean any harm, really. I mean,

a very nice man, and, well, he has some
very fine qualities.

Unfortunately, perfect pitch is not one
of them.

listen to him sing some tie or yellow
ribbon. I'm going down there and tell

to shut up.

Must be out of his mind.

Ralph, what do you want? I have a
delivery, sir, from the unobtrusive

with the bullhorn.

He asked me to drop by a gift for Jenny.
No, no, no, forget it, Ralph.

Please, sir, my life depends upon it.

Well, what is it?

It does have its uses, ma 'am. On the
way up here, it did an excellent job

keeping the riffraff off the elevator.

I'm going down there and tell them to
shut up. Good luck, sir.

Mrs. Jefferson, will you marry again?

Oh, look, this is ridiculous.

Ralph, would you do me a favor, please?
Would you go down and tell Hugo to come

up here?

Tell him that I want to talk to him.
Yes, ma 'am, right away.

Ralph, I thought you were going to ask
for a tip.

Oh, the gentleman in the photograph
already took care of that, sir. He gave

the name of a reliable loan company.

Jenny, are you sure you want to do this
yourself? I mean, maybe it would be

better if we talked to Hugo for you. No,
no, I want to do it myself.

Look, at least we can help.

George, you know him best. What would he
be most likely to respond to?

A brisket.

Oh, you think so?

Because Helen's brisket is out of this
world. She uses a hint of garlic and

Jenny can handle this.

Just be calm.

Be strong.

Beware. Be ready to cook a brisket.

That might be him. Shh, just be calm.

Relax. He's okay. He's a nice guy.

Come in.

Hey, I see you got my picture. Goes nice
in here.

Right.

Why don't you sit down?

Look, you and I have got to talk.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Listen, you... Excuse me.

Well, let me start by saying that... Oh,
I'm just flattered with the serenade.

The gifts.

Oh, the photos.

Gosh.

The meat.

Yeah.

Nobody doesn't like meat.

Listen, Hugo,

I hope that this isn't going to be
painful.

I agree, Jenny.

But I got to say it anyway.

I beg your pardon?

Please, just let me get this out.

See, I'm not too good with words,
although I could do the TV guy

everything. Try this.

Three letters, blank, Selick. I got that
one.

Hugo, you say you have something to say
to me?

Oh, yeah. Thank you.

See, Jenny, I was thinking on the way up
here about that song I was singing to

you. Did you happen to hear it?

Oh, along with the rest of the block,
yes.

Well, it's called feelings, and it made
me think about my feelings.

Oh? See, what we had was a trip to the
moon on gossamer wings.

We were two strangers that passed in the
night.

We were a traffic accident that never
happened.

What are you trying to say, Hugo?

Jenny...

This is going to be hard to say, but I
gotta say it.

I don't love you. I never did.

I was in love with love, not you.

Oh, really?

I was afraid you'd take it hard.

Oh, yes. I mean, it's... God, it's sad,
Hugo. It's so sad. I mean,

you know, ours.

It could have been a special
relationship.

Well, don't feel bad.

I'm cutting you loose.

But don't take it personally.

I'll try not to.

See, I was looking for a woman.

And although you were one, you weren't
the right one. And I know if I took you,

I would just be settling. And people
shouldn't settle.

Yeah, you're right, Hugo. I understand
nobody should settle.

You don't hate me, do you?

Oh, no!

Oh, no, no.

Look, I can't speak for the rest of the
block, but I don't hate you.

Thanks.

Listen, you can keep the picture.

And Jenny?

Don't be upset.

I hope you didn't take any of that
seriously.

Oh, yes, I did. Hugo just did me a big
favor.

You're right. You should see where he
lives.

No, no, I don't mean that. I mean, when
Hugo was saying that he wasn't going to

settle for me, well, it made me start
thinking about my own life.

I was ready to give up fashion design
and take the first job that came along,

you know?

But you know what?

I'm not going to settle.

I'm going to stick to my dream and make
it come true.

Oh, Jenny.

We just want you to know that we have
all the faith in the world in you.

Oh, thank you, Ma.

But you know it's more important for me
to have faith in myself.

So, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go
home.

Because I've got some drawings to
finish.

What are you going to do with that?

Well, it has its uses.

Like what?

I'm taking the subway home.
