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

deep...

We're excited that Mommy's bringing
Daddy home.

Uh -huh. Where is Japan anyway?

Well, let me see.

Do you know where China is?

No.

Do you know where the Pacific Ocean is?

No.

Well, do you know what east means?

we, honey? Yeah, they're bringing me a
surprise.

Daddy said it's even better than a doll.

Hey, lucky you.

Yeah, I wish they'd go a little more.

Oh, George, hello there.

Oh, hi, Jessica.

Oh, hello, pumpkin.

How's my little sugar plum?

You little jelly bean, you.

Can't you ever get your mind off of
food?

Lionel and Jenny's friends.

They'll be here in less than an hour.

Great. Do you think we should be doing
this? After all, they told us not to

a fuss.

Oh, they always said the opposite of
what they mean.

I'll say.

When Lionel went away three years ago,
he said, see you soon.

What's all this mail addressed to Lionel
and Jenny?

Oh, that's mail addressed to Lionel and
Jenny.

Oh. Well, we've been picking it up for
them while Jenny's been in Japan for a

month. And what kind of person... Are
you?

Don't you know it's not polite to look
through other people's mail?

Well, it's all junk anyway.

Except for the Macy's bill, a letter
from Jenny's college roommate, and a

reminder of the appointment with Dr.
Green Tuesday at 4.

Well, here it is.

Devil's Food Upside Down Cake.

Yay!

Oh,

Florence, I've never heard of Upside
Down Devil's Food Cake.

Me neither.

I had a little accident in the kitchen.

I had to go through with it. It was a
special request.

From whom, the devil himself?

No, I didn't bake anything for you.

You know, I got a postcard from Jenny
from Japan, and she said more than

anything else, she had a craving for my
cake.

Don't touch that frosting.

No, but she, uh... It's filling in the
dents.

Have you got any more of that frosting?

We've got a crack in the bathroom
ceiling.

Hello, Mr. J.

Hello, everybody.

I thought these balloons would add a
festive touch to the homecoming.

Hello, Princess Jessica.

Hello, Prince Harry.

Can I give you some balloons?

Thank you. You're welcome.

Why are they flying?

Oh, well, you see, it's simple, Jessica.
They're filled with helium.

which is number two on the periodic
table of elements, and thus lighter than

oxygen, which is number six, and a major
component in the air. Now, when the

helium is compressed into an enclosed
area, it's magic, dear.

I like magic.

Oh, Jessica, let me show you some real
magic.

Hello, Jessica. Welcome to Munchkinland.

How did you do that?

just by your drawers two sizes too
small?

Not actually, Mr. J. You see, the speed
of sound relative to helium is faster

than the speed relative to air, and this
accounts for the accelerated resonance

frequency.

It's magic, Grandma.

Oh, that's my cookies. They're done. You
want to help me bring them out,

Jessica? Come on, Flora. She's too young
to operate a forklift.

You have Sunday's paper.

When Jenny called yesterday, she said
that Lionel wanted us to save the real

estate section.

Gee, that's odd.

Not really. Maybe they're looking for a
bigger place.

Why, the place they have now is plenty
big.

Yeah, and even with Lionel home for
good, there's still just the three of

Hey!

Jenny's doctor?

And the real estate section.

And Jenny's weird food cravings. Yeah,
anytime you crave a Florence's food,

that's a weird craving.

And Jessica said they're bringing her
something better than a dog. Oh, my God.

They're bringing home a pregnant geisha
girl.

Jenny's the one who's pregnant.

They said they had something to tell us.
Something important.

Oh, we're going to be grandparents
again.

Oh, I just can't wait to tell everybody.

Come on, Weasley. This is their big
news. Let them announce it. George is

Don't tell anybody.

Promise. Promise.

Promise. Promise. Promise.

Lionel and Jenny are having a baby.

I don't know the due date, but... Well,
personally, I would prefer a boy, but

please, don't breathe a word of this.

That's right. A bun in the oven.

But you didn't hear it from me.

Hello. Hey, Ralph.

Great. Huh?

Hey, thanks, Ralph.

Look, the kids just got out of a cab
downstairs. They should be up here any

second. Oh, Jessica, they're coming.

Come on out.

Now, go in the kitchen and hide.

All right, everybody, remember how we
rehearsed it earlier.

Hey, where you going?

I'm just going out into the hall for a
breath of fresh air. The same air that's

out there as in here.

But it's better lighting. I like to see
what I'm breathing.

Welcome home!

I only went out to get cigarettes.

You've lost weight. Didn't you eat well?
Of course you didn't. Who likes raw

fish? Mom, Jenny's here, too.

Oh, Jenny.

Oh, I'm sorry. I guess it's the
excitement of you coming home, the

party?

It's not really your party. It's just
your family and some friends.

Look, Mrs. Jefferson, I specifically
told my mother not to make a big deal

of this. Oh, but we know how you two
are.

And now with the news about the baby.

What baby?

Oh, come on. We already figured it out.

Jenny is pregnant, isn't she?

No, I'm not.

I'm not.

You're not?

Who's you got to tell us?

Mom, Jenny and I are getting a divorce.

Mrs. J., must I leave? I've always
considered myself extended family.

Lionel, hello.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Bentley, but we have
an emergency here. You see, Lionel and

Jenny are... sick.

They brought home a rare tropical
disease from Japan.

Oh, who am I kidding? I'm just a
neighbor.

First thing you ask somebody when
they've been away for a long time. So

your trip? What'd you bring us?

Listen, sweetheart, maybe we should save
the presents for later.

Yes, later.

Right now, we should all talk.

Florence, why don't you take Jessica
into the other room and get her packed?

She's already packed.

Well, then why don't you take her into
the other room and read her a story?

I've already read her them stories.

We're sticking to them stories.

Uh, Florence, we have something very
important to discuss, and I don't want

talk about it in front of the B -A -B
-Y.

It won't work, Grandma.

Aunt Florence knows how to spell.

Florence, out.

I'll see you later, okay?

Well, we can take a hint.

If you don't want us in on your gossip,
we'll just make up some gossip of our

own.

Child, have you heard who just checked
into the Betty Ford Center?

What's going on here?

I think that Louise just wants to clear
the room so that Lionel and Jenny can

tell us their special news.

Why, Helen, what special news?

You know.

Oh.

Oh, that's special, Newt. Look, I think
there's some kind of misunderstanding

here. Look, Mr. and Mrs. Willis Pop,
Ginny and I... Don't say it! Don't say

Mom, they gotta know sometime.

Okay, fine.

Kill your parents!

You've already broken my heart to
pieces!

Call me crazy, but this doesn't sound
like a baby announcement.

Listen, we've... try to think of the
best way to break this to you, but it

doesn't seem... They're moving to Japan!

Oh, no!

We're not moving to Japan.

They're getting a divorce!

Thank God.

A what?

A what?

It's just a divorce, Pop.

I'm confused.

Jessica said you were bringing her home
something better than a doll.

Yeah, a watchman.

What does that have to do with your
doctor's appointment with Dr.

Green?

Ma, Dr.

Green is a family counselor.

Yeah, well, how about that real estate
section?

We thought you were looking for a bigger
place.

No, I'm looking for another place.

This isn't happening.

I refuse to believe this.

Oh, come on, Willis, don't you start it.

We'll never get them back together. Oh,
you're right.

Okay, kids, what is it? You have a
little spat.

What? Did Lionel forget to take out the
garbage?

That's a little tough from Tokyo, Pop.
Well, Jenny, you'll just have to find

somebody else to take out the garbage.

It's not the garbage, Pop.

Oh, well, uh, are you having a little
trouble in your sex life?

That's a little tough from Tokyo, too.
Well, Jenny, you'll just have to find

somebody... George!

And take that hat off!

Okay.

I realize you're adults, and you know
what you're doing.

Thank you.

So I have just one question.

What's that?

How can you do this to us?

Oh, we aren't doing anything to you.

Lionel and I, we've just grown apart.

Right. You know, I was taught that you
stick things out.

When a man and a woman got married, it
was for keeps.

That's right. Even if they grew to hate
each other, they stayed together for the

happiness of their families.

Jefferson, Lionel and I don't hate each
other. Yeah, we're happy.

We're getting a friendly divorce.

And when is this friendly... thing
supposed to take

place? It's going to be very quick.

Yeah, next month, we're all going to fly
to Haiti and take care of it there. Who

is we?

Well, Lionel, Jessica, and I.

Oh. Well, we figured that as long as
we're going, we'd make it a family

vacation.

Well,

well, well, isn't this too, too
civilized?

Maybe we should all go and make it a
real family outing. Yeah, why not?

We'll have adjoining staterooms, order
some crackers and cheese and shake up

some banana dagglies. What the hell is
wrong with you two?

Now look, we understand.

This is a lot for you to accept all at
once.

You damn right it is.

And you are all too emotional to talk
about this right now.

I am not emotional.

Then why are you getting it? Because I
like to get it.

Okay, okay, look. Why don't we all get
some rest and talk more about this

tomorrow? Yes, I agree.

Well, maybe you're right, Lionel.

I'll go make up your room.

Oh, that's okay. I'll stay at our place.

Then, Jenny, I'll go upstairs and make
up your room.

Oh, don't bother, Mom. I'm going home,
too.

Okay, you ready?

Have you two no shame?

Okay, I told you. Can we go if we
promise to have plenty of shame?

Hell of a lot.

Look, we have been through 12 time
zones, and now we're here in a twilight

And I think we all need some rest.

Yes. Jessica!

Bye -bye to everyone.

Bye -bye.

Oh, jeez.

Did everyone get enough kisses? No.

Oh, okay.

All right. Okay, good night, everyone.

Good night. We'll talk to you tomorrow.

Yes, dear.

Tomorrow.

isn't so bad.

Maybe not.

It never is as bad as you think it is.

They seem to be handling it pretty well.

Yeah, they do.

Yes. We should try to handle it as well,
too.

Yeah, we should.

Yeah, we should handle it.

Handle what?

Jenny, are getting a divorce.

A divorce!

My poor little Jessica! My poor little
Lionel! My poor little Jenny! This is

worst thing that ever happened to me!

Can you believe it? Our kids!

Yes.

Our kids.

My little boy. My little girl.

It seems like just yesterday they went
out on a date.

like him right from the start.

And we like Jenny right from the start,
too.

Well, I like Jenny right from the start.

He was always such a good husband and
father.

Who would have thought he would turn
around and pull something like this?

far be it from me to point any fingers,
but, well, Lionel and Jenny did

seem a lot happier before he up and
moved to Japan.

Well, I don't want to point fingers
either, but if he was

so happy, why did he even accept an
assignment so far from home?

What are you trying to say, Louise?

Oh, I'm not trying to say anything.

I'm just asking a question.

Oh, well, I have a question too.

How happy do you think Jenny was trying
to raise a child in New York City alone

for the last three years?

I'm just asking.

you about a father alone in a Japanese
hotel room unable

to shell out $8 for a hamburger because
he's sending all of his

yen home so that mother and child can
buy pretty clothes.

Which her father -in -law cleans for
nothing.

since you're the one who convinced
Lionel to take that job and leave home

first place. Oh, yeah, well, I figured
Jenny would go with him.

Any wife who doesn't pack up and go with
her husband ain't no wife at all.

Now, wait a minute.

He didn't have to leave.

Obviously, he put his career before his
marriage. A chip off the old block, I

say. Do I put business before you ease?

That's beside the point.

The will is his.

I don't have a very good sense of how a
relationship works.

Maybe that's where Jenny got it.

Mm -hmm.

Careful, Louise. You might just say
something you'll regret, don't we? If

anybody says anything he regrets, it's
gonna be me.

You know, if you didn't let your husband
walk all over you like that, maybe your

son would have learned how to be more
compassionate with his wife. Yeah.

Oh, shut up, Tom.

Maybe your daughter would have learned
how to respect her husband.

Hey, now don't you make my wife sound
like a witch.

It's the broom fit.

Ride it.

So why don't you teach me how?

Oh, please, look.

Lionel and Jenny have the right idea.

Jefferson's and Willis's just don't mix.

Well, good.

Just maybe you're right.

And maybe we just don't have to come
around here for a while. Maybe that's

No maybes about it. Well, maybe we don't
have to come around here anymore.

Maybe we'll just move right out of this
building.

Great! I know where there's a vacant
apartment.

In Japan!

Well, that's wonderful.

It'll be worth the commute never to see
you again.

And never is too soon for us.

Goodbye!

Hmm.
