All language subtitles for The Jeffersons s10e13 The Command Post

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

Atlantic City Fund Guide, Atlantic City
Restaurant Guide, and $500 gambling

money allowance.

Just $500?

That's right. When that's gone, that's
it.

Then what is that?

Oh, this is my own personal $3 ,500
emergency gambling money.

Well, I don't think I'm going to gamble
this trip. The last time I lost $20 and

you yelled at me all night.

That's because you're a lousy gambler.

But you lost $500.

I know, see, but I know what I'm doing.

See, Weas, what you need is a course in
the George Jefferson School of Smart

Money Gambling. Okay, now pay attention.

Let's say you put a quarter in the slot
machine and nothing comes out. What do

you do?

Put in another quarter?

No, you go up to the room and wait for
me.

You mean I only get to play once?

Well, it's your fault you had a quarter.

You could have played a nickel machine
five times.

That's what I'm talking about. Smart
money.

So, off for some fun, huh?

Oh, we sure are.

Are you going to be all right? Oh, fine,
fine.

Don't even think about me.

When?

Now, just go ahead and have your fun.

I'll stay here.

Alone.

Are you sure you're going to be all
right?

Oh, fine, fine. Listen, I'll just look
at some TV, do some crosswords.

All right. We'll see you Monday.

George,

can't we take her with us? Oh, we... Oh,
come on. What'll it hurt? Look.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we are
going on a vacation, am I right?

Well, yeah.

Okay, now what good is a vacation if you
don't have somebody to vacate from?

Look, Florence, Atlantic City is not
really that much fun.

I mean, you take away the lights,
casinos, headline entertainers, what

got? Just a big pile of sand.

Then why are you two going?

Because it's closer than Las Vegas.

Oh, George. No. Before you go, can I ask
you something? What?

Please take me with you.

Look, Florence, will you get off trying
to make me feel guilty?

Now, I've taken you places before. We
took you to Hawaii, we took you on a

cruise, and I'm supposed to be going on
a vacation with my wife, not some maid.

And that's all you are, Florence,
whether you like it or not, just a maid.

No, I don't want to eat.

She ain't going with us. No.

Go ahead.

Leave me behind.

disturbing you?

No, just painting my toenails.

Oh.

Does that say wanna dance?

I was bored.

Do you know the Jeffersons wouldn't take
me with them to Atlantic City?

Oh, that's so unlike them.

I mean, I can't think of anyone who's
more caring, more considerate, and more

generous than the Jeffersons.

They're already gone, Ralph.

The stinking rich.

I guess I'm just a little disappointed
about not going.

I mean, nothing exciting ever happens
around here.

It's so boring.

You know, I'd even put aside a little
money for some gambling.

How much did you put aside?

Oh, just 50.

Just call me Mr.

Excitement.

I like to consider these my business
cards. After all, there are a lot of

women in the neighborhood.

Well, I don't know. I had my heart set
on Atlantic City.

Well, I can understand how you feel,
Florence. It'd be a kind of a letdown. I

mean, after all, I can't give you the
shows, the glitter, the lights.

All I can offer you is a little
companionship and a chance to triple

I'm in.

It's the spirit.

Now, I'm kind of new at this, so you
show me what to do, okay? It'll be my

pleasure. Believe me.

I'll be the dealer. And as it is in any
casino, the odds are greatly against me.

What shall we play?

How about blackjack?

Well, let's see. The object of that is
to get 21, right?

Uh -oh, I'm in trouble. The lady knows
her card games.

Make your bet.

All right. Dealer gives you a nine.

Dealer gets a ten.

Dealer gives you a queen.

Dealer exercises his option to draw from
the bottom of the deck and gets an ace.

Dealer wins.

I thought you said the odds were against
you. Oh, they were before that hand.

Now the odds must be staggering.

I mean, can you imagine what the odds
would be if this would ever happen

21. God, call Ripley's.

Ralph, this is getting boring.

And it don't feel nothing like Atlantic
City.

Then let's hear a little bit of the
lounge act.

When the moon hits your eyes like a big
pizza pie, that's

21 dealer wins.

You mean I lose again?

Well, you're the one that wanted to go
to Atlantic City.

Who is it?

Always police.

Oops, I've got to go.

Well, I wonder what the police could
want. Oh, I haven't the slightest idea.

sure it's all very routine. Hold these.

I'm clean.

Are you Mrs. Jefferson?

Who wants to know?

Inspector Targovich.

And this is Detective Wiley, NYPD.

Florence Johnston, MAID.

M -A... Oh, yeah.

Well, is Mrs. Jefferson in? No, she and
her husband went out of town for the

weekend. Ma 'am, we're here on a
sensitive police matter. It requires our

occupancy of this residence for an
unspecified period of time. Can we count

your cooperation?

What are you talking about?

He said, can we come in? Well, I'm
alone.

I don't know if I should just turn my
boss's residence over to you. Inspector

Comstock, ma 'am, we'd really appreciate
it.

Mika the fuka.

Wait a minute.

What's going on?

We're establishing a base of
surveillance in order to observe a

felony. This position provides an
optimum field division of the adjacent

recognizance. Huh?

We're staking out the building across
the street. Do we have your permission

use the apartment?

Well... You may be here a few days.

Hey, be my guest.

You guys get the equipment out, set it
up on the balcony.

I'll contact the backup units and tell
them we're setting up.

Hey, what do you guys call that gadget
that you use to contact the backup

A telephone.

So, what's going on?

Somebody in trouble over there?

I hope it's not that bodybuilder on 9
that's always running around in his

bikini.

No, ma 'am.

Then I bet it's that old lady on 14 that
beats her dog.

No, we're watching the corner apartment
on 11.

You ever see anything strange going on
in there?

Hey, what do you think I am, a peep in
time?

I mean, I stay out of other people's
business and they stay out of mine.

What's going on now?

We have reason to believe a group of
suspects is engaged in the illegal

trafficking of a controlled substance.

We're gathering evidence in order to
enter the premises and take them into

custody.

A drug bust.

Well, if you have to get technical,
yeah.

Hey, do you mind if I watch?

I never saw a real -life drug bust
before.

Except for that time in high school when
Roland Thomas stole his mama's thyroid

pills and told everybody they were
Benny's.

Lady, lady, we prefer if you'd leave the
surveillance to us. These men are

dangerous. How dangerous?

They kill people.

I'll be under the kitchen table.

No.

No.

No more, no.

No more.

No, no.

No, no.

No, no. Having a bad dream?

I was dreaming that maid was bringing us
more of those coconut raisin clods.

I know what you mean.

Wiley already sent some down to the lab.

They sent them back unopened.

Anybody want some homemade date bricks?
Oh, no, thanks.

I'm watching my health.

My weight.

Oh, this is so exciting.

I mean, I don't know about you guys, but
I am having a ball.

How about you?

I don't deserve this much fun.

You know, you probably won't believe
this, but I almost became a policewoman

once. But then I decided to become a
maid.

See, the way I look at it, cops and
maids have a lot in common. I mean,

both working for a cleaner America.

Eerie. Do you know what fascinates me
the most?

The inside scoop on what it's like to be
a cop.

I mean, not that Hollywood jive, but the
deep down, gut level, emotional stuff.

So give it to me straight.

What does the O in Hawaii Five O really
stand for?

O.

Really?

See, that's the kind of scoop I'm
looking for.

Your shift, Torgovich. Anything
suspicious going on?

Uh, not on 11.

There's a poker game on the eighth
floor.

Some old lady's beating the socks off a
guy in a doorman's uniform.

You know, man, there's nothing like a
good stakeout.

The feel of goosebumps all over your
body from standing out on some freezing

balcony.

The smell of four sweating cops jammed
into a patrol car for hours.

The depression of letting some lowlife
get by you just when you thought you had

him. And the elation of when some
slimeball slips up so you can really

Now that's living life to its fullest!

Guys, I got something.

They spotted our telescope.

Jim! Hey, one of them just asked for a
rifle.

Ladies, doctor!

Oh.

Here we

are. Now, isn't this a nice room, Miss
Jameson?

That's Johnston's. Fine, fine.

Now, why don't you just get some rest?
You'll need plenty of strength for that

kidney transplant tomorrow.

Transplant?

No, no, I'm just here for this.

Oh, well, I can assure you, dear, that
we have one of the finest psychiatric

departments in the city.

Dear, you don't understand.

I just fell and bumped my head. Oh,
well, I'm sure you won't be here much

than a month.

A month?

Look, I'm just here for observation.

My doctor said I could go home tomorrow.

What's wrong with her?

Oh, that's Mrs.

Carlson. She was in an auto accident.

I think.

No, that's Miss Taylor. She had a
facelift.

Are you sure?

I don't make mistakes.

I'm a professional.

Listen, why don't you just close your
eyes and get some rest? I'll be back and

wake you up in a couple of hours for
your sleeping pill.

Can you hear me?

Can you see me?

I can see you, Ralph.

Good. I brought you these.

Oh, they're beautiful.

Where should I put them?

How about that vase over there?

How about that?

They fit perfectly.

That was really thoughtful of you,
Ralph. Oh, I wouldn't miss a chance to

a famous heroine.

After all, you helped the police make a
big arrest.

You mean they caught those guys selling
drugs?

No, but thanks to you, they got them on
an attempted murder rap.

Well, I was glad to be of service.

Florence, can I ask you a personal
question?

Ralph, I am not going to tell you where
the nurse put my pocketbook.

I want to know what it's like to be
shot, to face death, to be near the

answer. Ralph, I wasn't shot. I just
fainted and bumped my head.

Well, here's a fine howdy -do.

I mean, I feel silly now after having
called the Jeffersons. Ralph, you have

to call them back and tell them I'm
okay.

Okay.

But if they really think you're hurt...

This would be a golden opportunity for
you to make some extra change.

Ralph.

Just testing your integrity.

I'll call him.

You don't mind if I watch TV, do you?

These old TVs take a long time to work.

Well, must be broken.

Just as well.

You sound like you could use the rest.

Excuse me, I'll be in the bathroom for a
minute.

It's even worse than Ralph said on the
phone. Come on, Reese. Don't let her see

you break.

You gotta think positive.

Okay. Now, say something on the bright
side. Okay.

Hi,

Florence.

Hey. You look good in white.

Come on, Reese. You can see right
through that.

Hey, Florence, how you doing?

Look, we brought you a present from
Atlantic City.

Some saltwater taffy.

Be careful, though. You might get it
stuck to the roof of your... Oh, sorry.

George, I can't keep pretending
everything is okay.

Florence is hurt, and I just can't bear
to see her lying there like... like...

Yes,

forgive her, Florence.

She lost her shirt at keynote.

Mr. Florence, uh, I just want to tell
you.

We really wanted to take you to Atlantic
City with us, see, but that would have

spoiled the surprise.

Because me and Weezy were going there to
buy you a fur coat.

Mm -hmm.

Okay, okay, so there's no fur coat. I
was just trying to cheer you up.

I can't stand to see you landing like
this.

Motionless, not doing nothing.

You know I always hated that.

Look, I'm sorry if I insulted you,
Florence. You know I'm only teasing,

Mm -hmm.

Just like the time when I bought you
that birthday cake and I asked you if

wanted me to light the candles or burn
down a forest instead.

Or the time we went to that space alien
movie and I hung your baby picture in

the lobby.

And the time I said your pork chops were
great.

Now, that wasn't an insult. That was
just a lie.

Okay, now that that's all off my chest,
I better be going.

Anything I can do for you before I
leave?

Huh? Sure.

How about some TV?

See you later.

Floor it.

Floor it.

I got it taken off, okay?

You got to get better.

Not just for yourself, but for me and
Wheezy.

Especially me.

See, when I was a kid, remember, my
father got killed in an accident, right?

Well, I never told anybody this before,
but that day before the accident, we had

a big fight.

I never had a chance to tell him that I
was sorry, you know, or that I loved

him.

And, you know, like this morning, I said
you was just a maid. I mean, that's not

true. I mean, you're more to us than
that.

You're like family to us, you know?

I just don't want to lose any more
family.

Without telling them that I love them,
you know.

George, visiting hours are almost over.
Can I come in for a minute?

We're not in the hallway.

you feeling?

Well,

can I make you more comfortable or turn
on TV?

Oh, I know it's frustrating.

But you'll be better in no time at all.

Miss Jefferson.

You see?

You're talking already.

Miss Jefferson, I'm over here.

Hi, Florence.

We'll be back to see you tomorrow.

Florence!

Is this really you?

Yes.

And you didn't get shot?

No, just a bump on the head.

Then why did you scare the hell out of
us like that?

I never thought you all would think that
was me.

Well, if you were you, who's that?

Miss Taylor.

Facelift.

Poor thing.

She's going to be walking on her tippy
toes.

But the important thing is you're okay.
I'd better go tell George. Oh, no, no,

no. Don't tell him.

Why not?

Well, he said some pretty personal
things when he was in here, and he

was really sick.

And I think he'd be pretty embarrassed
if he found out I wasn't.

Well, I can't let him worry about you
all night.

And how am I supposed to explain your
sudden recovery?

Just tell him that whatever he said when
he was in here must have done me a

whole world of good.

But that's not true.

Oh, yes, it is.

Well, all right. But you know, he'll
never let you forget something like

You know, he'll think he's a god, gloat
for months, and make your life

miserable. In other words, life as
usual.

Right.

Well, child, after everything that has
happened, life as usual is going to be

pretty easy to take.
