present for Ma and Dad.

An electric blanket!

The 20th anniversary is Chinese. You're
supposed to get them something in China.

How about a Chinese electric blanket?

Oh, JJ, I never heard of no Chinese
electric blanket.

Yeah, that's one that warms the bed and
fries the egg rolls at the same time.

I tell you, Michael, when it comes to
jive, JJ is the best alive.

And I tell you, JJ, when it comes to
food,

I know. She's been giving me lessons.
She taught me everything she knows.

You're a good student, Michael, but
let's get serious now. The anniversary

Sunday, and like I said, the thing to
get is China.

Now, I saw this beautiful serving dish
at Sears. The only question is, do we

have enough?

It costs $12.

Hey, well, I've got $3 saved up. And
I've got six.

dollar shot JJ don't give us that
routine about being short yeah you've

got some cash stashed away someplace I
don't I swear

my surprise.

I was saving that money for paints.

I was going to paint a portrait of Ma
and Dad as my own personal present to

them. Oh, I'm sorry, JJ.

Yeah, me too.

Well, in honor of Ma and Dad, I will
humbly accept your apologies.

And besides painting a portrait of them,
I also made up a greeting card.

slogan to put on it what's that our love
for you is out of sight that

comes from thelma michael and kid
dynamite

okay

jj michael and i'll buy the china
serving dish we'll get the money somehow

we will uh -oh if that's more let's not
blow our surprise okay

Hi, children.

Hi, Mom.

What's going on?

Nothing's going on, Mom.

Oh, I think I get the vibes.

You kids are plotting to buy your daddy
and me an anniversary present, but I

just want you to know that is not
necessary.

But, Mama, this is a special
anniversary.

We want to. I know you do, but you
worked hard for whatever you got saved

and your daddy and me don't want you
spending it on any presents. Oh, Mom.

Really, really, children.

You three are the best present we could
have. And you're looking at the pilot

that started the series.

So listen now, all of you, forget about
the present. And JJ,

you can keep that money in your sock.

You know about my secret hiding place,
too?

Happy anniversary to me. Happy
anniversary to you.

We got the miles on us, baby, but we're
still good as new.

We're standing a huge call out of love.

And in 20 years, we only turned out one
clunker.

Now, James, you know you don't mean
that. Just jiving, Junior, just jiving.

Speaking of our three musketeers here,
do you know they were getting ready to

spend their money to buy us an
anniversary present?

Hmm, you mean Junior was getting ready
to dip into her sock again.

I got a feeling my sock is listed in the
yellow pages.

Well, look, much as I appreciate what
your kids was going to do, it ain't

necessary, because I'm fixing to give
your mother the best anniversary present

she could ever have. What's that, James?
Me.

Hey, baby, you're going to have two
whole days of uninterrupted me.

Joking about.

Baby, I hold here in my hands the keys
to paradise.

Remember me telling you about my friend
Charlie the foreman? Yeah. Well, Charlie

owns this cabin up by the lake. I told
him about our anniversary, and he's

offered to lend it to us for the
weekend.

Oh, that sounds so romantic. Yeah.

When are we all going?

Well, I know it'll be just like a second
honeymoon.

You know, Charlie's a bachelor. He's got
it all set up for romance.

It'll be some weekend, baby.

What's the matter? I told you about it,
but you don't seem to go for the idea

too much. Oh, I do, James. It's a
wonderful idea, but you... Well... But

Well, it's just that we never left the
kids alone for two whole days. Oh, now,

come on, Florida. Look at them. They
ain't kids no more. They old enough to

care of themselves.

You can have them. You and Dad deserve a
couple of days alone by yourself.

Now, see that? They ain't worried about
it. Why you gonna be worried about it?

Okay, I guess you're right. It is a
wonderful idea.

Two whole days, just me and you.

All alone.

Well, looks like they're getting started
early.

Michael, let's go finish that checker
game we had going in the bedroom.

Hey, good idea, JJ.

I've got all four kings, and all you've
got is one little lonely checker trapped

in a corner. You haven't got a chance.

That's what he thinks.

While he wasn't looking, I painted on
some more squares.

Well, I better go referee.

Hi, y 'all.

Table on.

For your groovy dude, your foxy chick,
you've been married for 20 long years.

How did you make your stick?

Oh, well... 20 years.

Honey, I'll be celebrating my 20th. I
came that...

Huh?

Eighteen and a half more years than I
would have made.

Although our marriage only lasted a
couple of innings, honey, that man sure

he was in a ball game.

You'll catch yourself a husband someday.

Honey, I hope not.

I'm having too much fun looking.

I didn't come here to talk about me. I
came to bring you some anniversary

goodies. For he.

Thank you. For he. Have a happy.

Come on, open it.

All right.

Because they're beautiful.

Now, the 20th is China, right? Yeah. You
are now the Honorable Mr.

and Mrs. Egg Fuya.

Most grateful thanks.

Hey, James, this will be perfect for the
cabin.

I'm sure.

Cabin? Did I hear you say cabin?

Yeah.

Mrs. Foreman is going to let us use this
cabin over the weekend to celebrate our

anniversary. Oh, China!

Now, when you get there, get the lights
down low, get the fireplace going, slip

into those robes, go in your neutral
corners and come out loving.

For breakfast tomorrow morning, there's
oatmeal and eggs. And for lunch today,

there's going to be fried chicken. I
stayed up late last night making it.

Ma, I wouldn't count on that fried
chicken if I was you.

I stayed up later last night and ate.

That's just great.

Now you don't have anything for lunch.

Don't worry, Ma. You know I can always
cook up something.

That still leaves us with no lunch.

All right, Michael.

Thelma, now if the plumbing gets stopped
up, don't call it down. It'll take him

a week to get here. The plunger is right
under the sink. Oh, let me make sure

it's under there. That's okay, Ma. I'll
find it. And if I don't, I can always

use J .J. instead.

If the vacuum cleaner don't work, we can
always use your mouth.

Hey, JJ, why don't you stop barking? All
right, all right, children.

Now, I don't want any of that while
we're gone. Promise?

Promise?

No.

No, Mom.

I'm putting you in charge of everything.
Hey, Mom, how come she's in charge?

I'm the oldest.

Well, she knows more about running the
house.

But, Mom, you need a man around the
house to defend against lawless

Absolutely right, JJ.

Michael, I'm putting you in charge of
security.

Move on. We don't want to miss that bus.
All right, James.

Listen, Michael, they say it's going to
turn real cold this weekend.

So if you go out to play basketball, I
want you to dress real warm. You hear?

Yes, Mama. I want you to put on your
hat.

Yes, Mama.

And your scarf.

Yes, Mama. And two pairs of socks. Yes,
Mama. And your mittens. Yes, Mama. Maya,

I got shoe baskets with mittens on.

I don't know, but I was doing so good
with Yes, Mama, I couldn't stop.

Come on, Flora. Let's go, huh? Okay,
James. Bye, children.

Bye, Mom. Take care.

See you later, Mom.

I'll miss you. JJ, I want you to take
care of everything.

We'll call you as soon as we get there.
Bye -bye.

Oh, and there's money in the cookie jar
in case of emergency. Okay, Mom. Bye

-bye. And be sure and keep the door
locked and don't let no strangers in.

look, in case there's anything you can't
get.

is recreate our honeymoon, baby. Yeah,
but on our honeymoon, I only weighed

Yeah, he was just skinning bones in.

But you're just right now.

Just enough to feel my arms, but not too
much to make my knees buckle. Oh, come

on, baby.

Hey.

Yeah, this is some place he got here,
ain't it?

Boy, this cabin is everything Sally said
it was, baby.

This is going to be some weekend.

Yeah. Honey.

Huh? You think the kids are going to be
all right?

Oh, now, Florida, the kids are going to
be fine.

Look, we're supposed to be Liz and Dick,
not the Swiss family Robinson.

Well,

they left them a few hours ago.

Yeah, but you know how they are.

Yeah, and you know how I am, so let's
get it on.

Boy, look at that, Charlie. Got logs in
the fireplace.

Look here, baby, a bottle of champagne.
That's for us.

Everything.

Look here.

Why don't you go flipping them Chinese
robes that Walona gave us?

I'll get these logs going, and we can
get real cozy, huh?

Uh -huh. What do you say to that, baby?

Uh -huh.

What's wrong? What you looking for?

Seems there's no phone.

Well, that's good.

That way, can't nobody bother.

No, but I promised the kids I'd call
them as soon as we got here, let them

we were safe. Honey, I'm worried about
them. Oh, now, Prada, stop worrying

the kids. Now we came up here to relax,
get away from it all.

Remember?

It's you and me, baby.

You and me.

I guess you're right, James. You know
I'm right. Give me some sugar.

Excuse me, honey.

Now, where are you going? I just
remember there's a phone booth in that

station down the road. No, pardon me.

here, too.

Get up and get dressed and clean up this
living room.

Says who?

Says me.

You heard Ma. She put me in charge.

I got news for you, Thelma. You just
been un -in -charge.

From now on, I'm giving the orders
around here.

What did you say?

That's right.

This was known as a military...

Michael, you're in charge of garbage
detail.

And what are you going to do?

I'm going to rest up from all this
military cooping.

Something tells me this weekend's going
to be longer than I thought. No, it

ain't.

What's that, J .J.? Soft -boiled eggs.

Hey, Thelma, answer the phone.

You answer it. You're going in the
country.

Boy, Thelma, you are definitely asking
for a court -martial.

Your attitude is abominable.

vacation going?

Is it really?

He gave me the place for the weekend.

Oh, wow.

I'm supposed to meet him here. Isn't
this the 17th?

No, it's the 10th. Really?

All day long.

Oh, shoot.

I am always so confused, you know. I
post for calendars, but I never look at

those little numbers.

I thought you looked familiar. I seen
your picture on Charlie's wall in his

office.

James Evans.

Oh, it is just a shame about this mix
-up. You know, it took me three whole

hours to drive up here in all that snow.

Oh, that's a shame.

Oh, that fire sure looks good. Do you
mind if I warm it up?

Think about that drive all the way back.

Yeah. Oh, this is just, just too cozy.

Yeah. What? You know something?

Huh?

You're a better looking dude than
Charlie.

Oh, look here, Miss Jackson. Oh, you can
call me Gloria.

I think it's only right that I tell you
I'm a married man.

Oh, congratulations.

What I mean to say is that my phone call
is down at the

white mix.

I mean, my wife is down at the phone
booth making a call, and she'll be back

minute. Oh, well, that's the way it
goes.

Don't worry, sugar. I'll split. Ooh,
that fire. It's getting just a little

too low.

James.

I think you better do a little speaking
to me.

You must be Mrs. Evans.

Yes.

Baby, this is...

December Jackson.

I mean, Gloria Jackson.

She's a friend of Charlie. She got the
calendars.

I mean, the weekend's mixed up.

You ain't two to gather yourself, lover.

Well, I think I'll be going now. Oh,
just thanks so much for the use of the

fire.

I'll just be getting on down the road
and I'll just see you guys. Oh,

James.

You know, if you like, I'll stop by the
office someday and autograph that

calendar.

one of them nature things.

Mountains.

Mountains and trees and all that kind of
stuff, baby.

Yeah.

I saw you admiring the scenery.

Now, Florida, you know you're the only
scenery I want to look at, baby.

She might have been Miss December, but
you might count on the girl all year

long. Every year.

And this kid's getting better and better
and better, baby.

You improve with age, too, lover. All
right.

Now, how are kids doing?

Fine, just fine. See, didn't I tell you?
Now, look, you march yourself right in

there. Put on that robe Walona gave you.

I'll pour some champagne, and we'll get
this 20th anniversary on the road.

Now we are off and running.

Baby, you look beautiful.

Thank you.

Well, step up, Lotus Blossom.

The bar is now open.

Yeah, I kind of dig the bartender.

In that case, I have a drink with the
customer.
