All language subtitles for The Jeffersons s11e13 Sayonara 2

Well, we're moving on up, moving on up,
to the side, moving on up, to the D

-line.

Last week on The Jeffersons, George,
Louise, Jessica, and the Willises threw

surprise party for Lionel and Jenny's
homecoming. But Lionel and Jenny had a

surprise of their own.

Mom, Jenny and I are getting a divorce.

Of course, no one took sides, and
everyone handled the news maturely.

Good riddance!

And now, The Jeffersons continues.

Is something wrong with your dinner?

It was made with love, understanding,
and care.

Yeah, I realize that, Mom. You're
probably not used to that.

I know what you're doing. You've been at
it almost a week now. You're trying to

make Jenny out to look like a bad guy.
Jenny doesn't cook for you. Jenny

care for you. Jenny doesn't understand
you. What is this obsession you have

Jenny? Well, she is my wife.

Your ex -wife.

Not yet. Besides, I still care for her.

Look, Lionel, your father and I only
want what's right for you. Right,

Tell me something.

What made you get mixed up with the
Willifers in the first place?

I don't know. For some strange reason,
Jenny just decided to invite them to the

wedding. Remember that band that they
hired?

No, you hired them.

Will you let me finish?

They were great, weren't they?

Now, George, don't get started on the
Willises. You'll only get yourself

up again. And what for?

They're not worth it. Those two
loudmouthed, inconsiderate... Okay,

I'll stay calm.

Hi, everybody.

Hello, Jessica.

What are you doing here?

Mommy said I could come down because I
ate everything on my plate.

But Willis at the table, she's lucky she
even had a plate.

And Grandma Willis said I was big enough
to ride the elevator all by myself.

Did you hear that?

Helen let a child ride the elevator
alone.

Oh, my God, a whole floor?

Look what I drew.

Oh, that's nice.

Look, Grandpa.

Oh, yeah, that's fantastic.

What is it?

It's Mommy with Grandma and Grandpa
Willard.

Oh!

I thought it was two tips of licorice
waiting for a bus.

My project for family night at school.

I'm drawing my whole family.

Your whole family?

Well, where are Grandma and Grandpa
Jefferson?

Aren't we part of the family?

Sure. I came to draw you now.

Oh. Good. For a minute there, I thought
someone might have been brainwashing

her. No, not my brain. But I did have to
wash my hands before dinner.

Come on, I want you to pose for me. Oh,
but wait, maybe I should change.

How about my red dress?

Let's see, I'm almost out of it.

But do you have anything in... Raw
umber?

I'd better wear this.

Okay.

You sit here.

Grandma, you'll be here.

Daddy, you stand here.

How's this?

Daddy,

you're blocking the light.

Will you stop blocking the light?

Grandpa, you're moving.

I'm sorry.

a long time, you start looking like each
other.

Well, how come the bus doesn't look like
a liquorice stick?

Baby, that's the prettiest picture in
the whole world.

I like it because we're all together.

Not like tonight with those guys up
there and you guys down here.

Daddy, does divorce mean we don't eat
together anymore?

Listen, baby, I tell you what. Why don't
we go in the kitchen and talk about

this over a nice big bowl of ice cream?

I guess he doesn't want you to hear
this.

Rocky Road.

How appropriate.

Sound good?

Hi, Beth.

Uh, Beth, you remember when we talked
about how your mommy and I weren't going

to live together anymore?

And you said it was cool, right?

Yeah.

Well, if you don't live together, it's
kind of hard to eat together.

But where will I eat?

Well, sometimes you'll eat with me, and
sometimes you'll eat with your mommy.

But where will my cup be?

Oh, what, you mean the one with Snoopy
on it?

No.

Snoopy's for kids.

Oh, excuse me.

My cup has drink on it.

Can you drink from that?

We'll get you an extra one. And my
pajamas?

We'll get you an extra pair.

And my piano?

We'll get... We'll make sure you
practice that, your mommy. She'll eat

cream. I'm not hungry.

I don't want to get a divorce.

Honey, we've been through all that.

Why can't you and mommy like each other?
Well, we do. We love each other.

Then why can't you live together?

Well, just because people don't live
together, it doesn't mean they don't

each other.

Remember all that time I was in Japan? I
didn't stop loving you, did I?

Even though your mommy and I'll be
living in different places, we'll still

each other. And there's a very special
part of us that'll always be together.

And that part is you. You get it?

I'll have to think about it.

Better make this one a double.

Come on, Weez. Look, this blowup we had
with the Willis is not that much of a

tragedy.

I mean, I can think of a lot of good
things that come out of this, you know.

What? This definitely won't be them.

Hi,

Mr. Jefferson.

Oh, hi.

Can I come in?

In?

Yeah, in.

Thank you.

Hi, Mrs. Jefferson.

Hello.

Did you have a good dinner?

Yes.

And you?

Oh, it was great.

We had spaghetti.

Al dente.

I like Boyardee.

Are Jessica and Lionel here?

Lionel, Jessica, someone is here to see
you.

Oh, I know you. A Ginny something,
right?

You guys better get a move on. We don't
want to be late for family night.

Oh, right.

Sweetheart, did you finish your picture?

Yeah. Good.

Thanks for dinner, Mom.

See you later, Pop. See you.

Now have a good time.

Uh, my parents are waiting for us in the
lobby.

Her what? Are waiting for you where?

Oh, please, not now.

My parents, they're going with us.

Oh? Well, how come they're going and
we're not?

Mrs. Jefferson, I asked you last week if
you wanted to go and you passed.

Of course we passed.

Because we knew that this was Lionel's
first family night.

So we felt that it should be something
special for him, you, and Jessica.

Obviously, your parents don't share our
sensitivity.

Mom, they're not being insensitive.
Jenny asked them to go, and they said

They would.

Well, I ain't getting away with this. If
they're going to be there, then we're

going to be there.

You've got that right.

Oh, goody!

It's going to be one hell of a family
night.

The wool is all crammed in that seat.

It's like a side of beef stuffed in a
hot dog bun.

Helen looks pretty ridiculous, too.

like we do.

Attention, everybody.

Just a few more minutes for visiting and
then we'll begin our family night

presentation.

Look, I made this in art.

It's a cow eating a salad.

Oh, it's very good, sweetheart.

Yeah, yeah, but don't cows eat grass?

Okay, it's a cow eating grass.

Why don't you run over and show it to
Grandma and Grandpa?

Oh, Jessica, here we go.

Look, Willis, you know you'd make a
better door than a window.

You'd make a better door than a
grandparent.

Oh, listen here. Excuse me, sweetheart.

Look what I made.

Oh, it is beautiful.

It's more than beautiful. It's inspired.

Why, what an eye for color.

Oh, what an innate feeling for style and
symmetry.

Guess what it is.

Two styrofoam cups and a couple of pipe
cleaners.

No.

It's a cow eating a grass sandwich.

Well, whatever it is, Grandma Helen
loves it. And Grandma Louise loves it

twice as much. Grandma Helen loves it
ten times as much.

One million times.

Ten million.

100 kazillion.

All right, all right, excuse us.

All right, we'd like to speak with the
grandparents.

I sure hope it's about good citizenship.

Come on, sweetheart.

Look, if you all don't behave
yourselves, you're going to the

yeah? Well, if it's anywhere near the
cafeteria, Willis will love it.

Why don't you shut up, George? You shut
up. No, you shut up. Oh, you shut up.

You shut up. You're telling me to shut
up. No, I'm saying... Stop it. Stop it.

Stop it.

arguing right this minute.

Now, what is tonight?

Tuesday.

No.

What is tonight?

Wednesday?

No, Daddy. It's family night.

Huh?

Look, do you know what that means?

Yeah. It means that George and Louise
have a good excuse to horn in on our

times. Wrong, Ma.

Give a hell, Jenny.

to celebrate their children's
accomplishments.

Right, so could we at least pretend to
be a happy family for the sake of the

child? It happens to be your
granddaughter.

Well, Georgia's just for one evening.

Okay, Willard, what do you say, adults?

Well, adults.

We got an outside chance, kiddo.

Good. Then I can show everybody our
classroom.

Come on, let's go.

And

these

are our hamsters.

And these are our fishies.

Keep an eye on Willis.

They may be fishies to her, but to him,
they'd catch it a day.

And this is penmanship.

Oh, Jessica, your handwriting is just
beautiful.

A little less is good, but the bigger...
Is your Grandpa George.

Everybody, we're about to begin our
family night presentations.

If you would, please find your child's
desk and be seated.

I have did.

Well, wait a minute here.

Quiet!

Welcome, everybody.

We're glad you're all here.

Well, we're glad most of you are here.

First presentation, it is in the field
of science, Johnny Samson.

My project is an ant farm.

This is Rachel, and this is Bridget, and
this is Timmy. No, this is Timmy.

Johnny, Johnny, why don't you tell us
what your ants do on their farm?

Not much, really.

presentation in the field of art,
Jessica Jefferson.

Jessica!

Jessica! Jessica!

Jessica!

Jessica!

Jessica's gone!

Yes,

Miss Anderson.

Well, if they come back, would you
please tell them that Jessica is home,

and sound?

Yeah. Thank you.

I can't believe that you walked three
blocks home all by yourself. Don't you

know how dangerous that is?

It's just like riding the elevator,
except you go this way instead of this

Don't you ever do that again. Do you
hear me?

You had everybody just worried sick
about you.

All they did for my whole family and I
is fight.

I'm going to be the laughingstock of the
whole first grade.

Well, you can't help that, honey.

You inherited that from your Grandpa
Jefferson.

I don't get it.

If Mommy and Daddy don't fight, then why
does everyone else have to?

Well, honey, sometimes when you care a
lot, you hurt a lot.

And when you can't find anybody to
blame, you just pick on the person

you.

Pretty weird.

Yeah, I think so, too.

But you know, even though caring can
make you fight, that same caring

will make you stop.

I sure hope eventually gets here soon.

Me, too.

Now, why don't you go in the kitchen and
fix yourself a nice big bowl of ice

cream, okay?

That always seems to help.

George, you checked the bedroom. I'm
calling the police. You just called them

from the lobby.

Well, something could have happened
while we were on the elevator.

Don't stay on there too long. I want to
call the police.

No, no, I want you to call the police.

But, Miss Jefferson... Louise, please
give me that phone. You'll never get it

dialed. Come on, Helen, hurry up.

I'm trying.

Oh, later, honey. We're busy looking for
you.

Oh, Jessica!

Jessica!

How come you didn't tell us she was
here? I tried to. You were too busy not

listening to me.

Jessica, do you realize how badly you
had her scared?

I'm sorry, Mommy.

Now, wait. I want you to promise me that
you will never, ever run away like that

again. Do you promise?

I'll be good.

Okay, sweetheart.

If everyone else will.

Well, everything would have been just
fine if you two hadn't stuck your noses

into our family night.

Your family night?

Oh, well, we are part of the family,
too.

Don't remind me. You only tagged along
tonight because you were afraid.

Afraid of what? Afraid that if Jessica
spent one evening alone with the good

side of the family, she might never want
to be with you again.

That's the last thing on earth I'm
worried about. Our side is the good

Right, Jessica?

Sweetheart.

Tearing up your pretty picture, huh?

It's all wrong.

This was supposed to be our family.
We're not a family anymore.

We're not anything.

That poor baby.

I hope that you're all happy now.

Well, I guess we'd better go talk to
her.

No!

You're not going in there.

No. But, Lionel, we just want to let her
know that we understand.

Oh, how are you going to do that? You
don't understand?

Tell him, son.

But, see, neither do you, Pop.

Have you stopped to realize that the
four of you is why the kid's crying?

Lionel, wait.

Now, we know you're going through a
tough time.

Yeah, but, see, you're not doing
anything but making it tougher.

Lying. All of this is... Well, when you
kids got married, we just all thought it

would be forever. That's all.

Hey, so did I.

But face it. Look, that's not the way it
turned out.

Folks, it's over.

You see, we've made our decision.

So please, can you support us on this?

Lying on you.

Your father and I have supported you all
along.

Yeah. And we've always supported Jenny.
Yes.

See, that's it. You took sides. You
didn't support us.

Did you think that four weeks in Tokyo
was a picnic? I mean, we went through a

lot of pain.

Now, look, nobody is to blame here.

Mom, we're just doing what we have to,
okay?

Lionel, we love the both of you very
much.

It's just that it's so difficult for us
to accept.

I know, Mom.

I know. You got that?

Oh, Miss... Miss Jefferson, I...

Yes, I'm crying, sweetheart.

Then why are you crying?

Uh, I'm crying because... because I hurt
you

by fighting with your Grandma Helen and
your Grandpa Tom.

Yeah, that did hurt me. But Mommy said
sometimes grown -ups can act like kids,

even kidsier.

Your Mommy's right.

But we have all learned our lesson, and
we are not going to fight anymore.

Promise?

Say you do.

We promise.

Cross your heart.

Spit on your hand and bury your best
toy.

We'll do that next time, sweetheart.

Right now we have some more things to
talk about with your mommy and daddy.

That's all right. I'm out of here.

I've got something I've got to do.

Look, Jen, you're not going to stop
coming around, are you?

Of course not, Mr. Jefferson.

Y 'all keep this up, you're going to
have me crying.

Look what I've got.

Scotch tape to put our family back
together again.

Hey, hey, look, this is the most
handsome one.

It must be me.

You're the other most handsomest one.

Oh, and what is this liquor stick?

Well, it's either me or you.

Are we waiting for a bus?

No, the bus is me.

Now, that is a family.
