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

What happened as in... You... I think I
understand.

Oh, good.

I didn't want to lay it on too thick.

Louise, Tom and I are spending one of
the most exciting days of our whole

Oh, yes. You see... Tom just signed a
new writer. And as a present, he got me

gift certificate to one of New York's
most fashionable beauty salons.

And Louise, it's not just a beauty
salon.

They can make you over from head to
foot.

Of course.

I work at the works.

They have a chic international
clientele. But the thing that I really,

couldn't get over were the number of
celebrities in that place.

By the way, do you have a hand mirror?

Oh, well, I don't think that salon is
for me, Helen. I feel uncomfortable in

ritzy places like that.

Well, so did I at first.

But as you can see, I bought well under
the strain.

Sweetheart, why don't you just sit down
and give your face a rest?

While I tell Louise about my day.

You see, I signed up this new writer.
Mr. Jefferson, I'm too scrub in the

kitchen floor.

Oh, good, Lars, thank you. Did you hear
about Tom and Helen?

Yeah, sounds like you had a pretty good
day, Mr. Willis. Oh, actually, it was a

super day. Wait till I tell you about
it. And you too, Miss Willis.

Congratulations.

You look lovely.

Mrs. Willis?

Helen?

Oh, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have
started this. It's a bad habit.

Did you actually meet a lot of
celebrities in that new salon?

Well, I didn't actually meet them, but I
really did see a lot of them. I got my

hair trimmed right next to Liza
Minnelli. You didn't? Mm -hmm.

Oh, Tom, do you think my pores are
unusually large today?

No, dear, you're looking into the
magnification mirror.

Give me that.

You mean you...

I'm actually sat next to Liza Minnelli.
Well, that reminds me about my new

writer. What is the name of that salon?

It's called Hollenbeck Crop. It's very
exclusive.

Whoa!

Wait!

Guess what happened?

Wait a minute, George. Do you want to
hear about Tom and Helen? No!

My stock split three for one.

What does that mean?

It means that I made more in five
minutes than you can make in five

Remember that ring you wanted?

It's yours.

Oh, George, thank you. Oh, that's
wonderful.

Well, I'd say it's been a pretty special
day for all of us.

Tom's new client.

Oh, yes, you see my new client. George's
doc.

Louise's ring.

My new face.

And Florence isn't... Oh, Florence.

Oh, that's okay. Listen, it's been a
good day for all of you, and I'm happy

every single one of you.

Of course, I could have done without
hearing about all of it in one day, but

am happy for all of you.

Oh, come now, Florence.

Plenty of special things have happened
to you, haven't they, George?

I can't think of none.

Hold on, Mr. Jefferson, sir. I have a
special delivery package for Florence.

See?

There!

all you need was a little patience and
good things were bound to happen to you.

What is it?

My new vacuum cleaner bag.

Oh.

Well, there's a good side to that.

Well, you see, these bags hold two
gallons more than Good.

Send me over.

It says right here.

Helen, would you like a cup of coffee?

Love some.

I'll go polish you a cup.

Not been a good day, huh, Florence?

Oh, no, it's been a terrific day for
everybody else.

Oh, I understand.

It's the plight of the working class,
doomed to spend a lifetime watching our

superiors bask at the end of the
rainbow.

It's tough, but I guess the best that we
can do is to use each other to lean on

until we finally reap our own greater
and

just rewards.

Well, I guess you're right. Would you
like to come in for some coffee? Oh, I'm

sorry, but I can't.

You see, I helped fund a little
expedition that brought up a Spanish

last night, so I have to jet down to Key
West for the opening of the treasure

chests.

You know how it is.

Goodbye, Ralph.

Oh, Ralphie!

Would you like to make an extra five
bucks?

Passionately, sir.

Do it, because all you have to do is
hear me out.

I'm going to tell you about my new
client.

Now, that is the last straw.

I mean, it's one thing for all of y 'all
to have a special day, but when Ralph's

on top of the world, it's time for me to
come out fighting.

Mrs. Willis.

Mrs. Willis!

You know what I'm going to do?

I'm going down to that beauty salon you
went to.

Yep, I'm going to sit back and let folks
wait on me for a change.

So how much does it cost to get the
works?

Oh, well, $300.

Oh, but it's worth it.

Yeah, what the heck? I got $200 saved.
I'm going to blow it.

I could at least get two -thirds of the
works.

Uh, Flora.

Now look, Mr. Jefferson, you can stand
there and insult me all you want. I'm

going. No, don't, no. I just want to
give you $100 so you can get the whole

treatment.

$100? Shh.

Go get it.

Oh, Mr. Jefferson, thanks.

Thanks a lot. You know, this might turn
out to be a special day for me after

all.

Oh, George, I'm so proud of you.

That's one of the best things you've
ever done for Florence. Look, I just had

to, Ease. I can't imagine one third of
that face running around New York City.

All right, Sybil. Tell Gladys Knight
we're ready to begin her treatment now.

Right away.

Miss Knight, if you'll just walk this
way, please.

I'm so sorry you've been played by so
many autograph hounds, Miss Knight. If

wish, I can call an attendant to keep
them away. Oh, no, honey, don't you

Would you write to Joey, one of my
oldest and dearest friends?

Excuse me.

Have you seen any celebrities?

I guess you ain't.

Are you somebody?

I can see why you ain't.

Are you some... Yes,

you are.

There you are, Miss Johnson. We've been
looking all over for you.

Now... Just follow me. We'll begin your
treatment.

This ain't gonna hurt, is it? Not at
all.

Remember, at Hollenbeck Croft, your wish
is our command.

Well, now, you know, that is good to
know. Because if I don't hurry up and

some celebrities, I'm gonna command you
to send my bill to Helen Willis.

Are you going to be all right under all
that avocado, Miss Knight?

Fine. Well, it should only be a few more
minutes. Let me know if you need

anything. Okay.

Oh, I might get hungry. Could you bring
me a bowl of corn chips in case I want

to taste my face?

Yeah, but if I wanted this kind of
treatment, I could have saved my money

just washed my face at the A .M .P.

They sure do laugh a lot around here,
don't they?

Yeah. At these prices, they can afford
to be in a good mood.

Hey, have you ever been here before?

No, first time.

Good, then I'll show you the ropes.

You've been here before?

Me? Shoot, yeah.

Sometimes even more often than that.

Sandwich? Well, I don't know. How much
are they?

They're free, ma 'am.

Oh, in that case, I'll take three.

Oh, that's great.

Now I can hear my favorite singer.

Oh, and who would that be?

Diana Ross.

You know, I think she's the best of all
time.

Well, I wouldn't say she was the best of
all time.

Who'd you pick?

Gladys Knight.

She's good, too.

So they say.

You know, when you're into music the way
I am.

It's easy to tell the good ones.

Oh, you're a musician?

Well, sort of.

Actually, I sing in a church choir.

Oh, really?

I used to do that.

Did you? Yeah. Listen to this and tell
me what you think.

On a hill far away stood a...

Keep working on it.

I mean, you got potential and all that,
you know.

But you're just not ready for no church
choir.

Well, that was a long time ago. I had to
quit the choir and go to work.

Oh, yeah, I know what you mean.

Of course, I'm sure you're good at
whatever you do, though.

Some seem to think so.

Matter of fact, last year I worked in
over 35 different cities.

Well,

you just hang in there. Something
permanent will come along.

I got a little secret I want to tell
you.

I ain't never been here before neither.
Hush your mouth.

I ain't no rich lady.

I'm a maid.

Of course, it's steady work and all
that. I wouldn't trade it for none of

part -time stuff you do.

But, you know, you're probably going to
think this is silly, but I came down

here to be treated special, you know?

I don't think that's silly at all. You
don't? No. As a matter of fact, that's

the only reason I'm here.

When I see that, we got a lot in common.
That's right.

So what do you do to feel special?

And please don't say come down here,
child. Because if my boss hadn't sprung

a third of this treatment, they'd have
just smeared peanut butter on my face

sent me home.

No, no. Well, I've been a lot of places,
I tell you. But to me, there's nothing

more special than being around the
people that you love and the people that

you. Now, I'm not saying we shouldn't
pamper ourselves every now and then.

But let's face it, we all get in a rut
every now and then.

You reckon?

Yes, I do.

Even Diana Ross? Oh, I certainly hope
so.

But the point is, it's your friends that
make you special. Whether you've got

one or a hundred.

What more do you need?

You know something? You sure are telling
the truth.

Yeah. I guess I just don't think about
it enough.

But I am special. That's right.

It's time.

Well, gotta run.

See you later.

Oh, you know something? What?

You're special, too.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, miss.

Yes, ma 'am?

You're that lady that was sitting here.

She don't work too steady.

So, I want to pay for her tip.

Now, here's a dollar for her.

And one for me.

And I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't
say nothing to her about it, okay? Yes,

'am, whatever you say.

Oh, the good life, full of fun, seems to
be the ideal.

Oh, sing it, Diana.

Gorgeous. Yeah, I do, don't I?

And I had a lot of fun, too. The only
bad thing was I didn't get to see no

celebrities. Well, honey, the way you
look, you could be a celebrity yourself

it wasn't for the fact that you're a
nobody.

You know you took the words out of my
mouth?

Well, y 'all can admire me later.

You know, we gotta get this song
together.

So let's go.

One. Two.

Saved by the bell.

That's probably the music police to come
to arrest you off of vandalism.

Excuse me, does Florence Johnston live
here?

Yeah, unfortunately.

George, don't just stand there. Who is
it? Oh, I see her. Never mind.

to think.

You know, we're just not doing it
justice.

Now, there's your problem right there.
Your mouths are open and ain't nothing

coming out.

Now, I don't look that good.

Well, maybe I do.

Anyway...

me what you did for me at the beauty
parlor today and i just wanted to come

to say i thought it was beautiful what
the tip you left for me remember

i'm the lady with the green face that
sat next to you today you

wouldn't you was uh -huh lord take me

into your kingdom

It was a nice thing to do. You should be
proud of yourself.

Really. I'm telling you. I mean, a lot
of people would do things for me when

they know who I am.

But to you, I was just another woman
with a vegetable on her face.

But still, you treated me special.

If that's the kind of person you are.

special.

You're a superstar, girl.

Well, here's your dollar.

And, uh, I'll give you another one if
you'll just ask these people to stop

firing those flashbulbs in my face.

Mr. Jefferson, please.

I should dig yourself.

What do you want to do?

Rehearsal? Music?

Yes, this is part of my church choir.

Oh, really? Oh, about what you said
about my voice, about not being suited

the choir?

I kind of like to check these things out
for myself, you know.

If it's all right.

Thank you. Thank you.

You kind of help me out if I get a
little shaky.

Go ahead, girl. Run with it.

Okay. Oh.
