All language subtitles for Good Times s05e15 JJ and the Bosss Daughter

Good time, anytime you need a payment.
Good time, anytime you feel free.

Good time, anytime you're out from
under.

Not getting hassled, not getting
hustled. Keeping your head above water.

Making a way when you can.

Temporary layoffs. Good time.

He hung a Do Not Disturb sign on his
ear.

You know, he's really tired lately.

Do you know he slept through my
breakfast all this week?

That's not tired. That's survival
instinct.

Hi, y 'all. Good morning, Winona.

Hi, Penny.

Hey, what you got there?

My geography project for school.

Come on, Penny. Show them the map you
made of the United States. It's

My child is so talented. She sings, she
dances, she roller skates, she ice

skates. I can't draw.

She's right, Winona. She can't draw.

Girl, you lucky if you can trace.

Hey, I gotta go to school.

Grabs, don't tell her that. I keep
telling her she can draw to build up her

morale. That's why I keep saying you can
draw.

Even though I know I'm lying through my
teeth.

I'm going to ask J .J. for help.

Okay, I'll see if I can get him up.

J .J., now will you get up? Penny wants
to talk to you.

Penny, I don't think it's any use.

Do you mind if I try?

You can try, but I don't think it's
going to do any good.

Hey, big ball.

This is Boom Boom Belinda. Why don't you
come out and see me sometime?

Could you please help me make a map of
the United States for my geography

Oh, Penny, you don't need me to help you
make your map.

Hmm.

The United States is in a lot of
trouble.

It's not due for three weeks.

That's good, because it's going to take
me that long to get to it.

They got me doing so much work at the
office that the only time I get to go to

the bathroom is on my day off.

Then why don't you go to your boss and
ask for help?

I need help with my map.

So I came to you?

Penny, you're just a little tight.

Obviously, you don't understand the
intricate workeries of a big business

organization.

Ask for help, indeed.

Not a bad idea.

Warren.

Yes, Mr. Harris?

Where is Evans?

Oh, you told him to stop at the prop
warehouse on the way to work. You know,

Big Bear Cola layout, remember? Yeah,
the minute he gets here, you tell him I

want a theme in my office.

And it's important.

Certainly will do that.

Right.

Which way to the North Pole?

Who's your hunky friend?

Get it? Hunky friend? Get it?

Look, Warren, you better not mess with
this cat. He may just be hibernating.

Boy, I tell you one, I am tired, man.

Zumped out, worn out. Well, don't get
too comfortable. Mr. Harris wants to see

you right away.

He wants to see me, huh?

Well, doesn't he know Evans has got
things to do, too?

Evans has got a schedule. Evans has got
people to see, places to go. You know

what I'm talking about?

I got you.

So he will see Evans when Evans is good
at...

Evans is ready.

I'm glad you called me in here, sir,
because... Sit down, Evans. Because I

to sit down. That's what I want.

Now, what is this I hear about you
having too much work to do?

Me? Too much work?

Never. Hey, work is my life. Work means
everything to me. I love my work.

Well, I suppose you won't need that
assistant I just hired for you.

You hired a new assistant for me? Yes,
an assistant.

Why do you think I called you in there?

Uh, because, uh, because you wanted to
tell me about the assistant.

Thank you there, Mr. Harris.

T .J., what happened in there?

One, I just laid it on the man straight.

I told the cat, I said, man, either you
give me some help in here, otherwise...

I'm walking.

Well, don't feel too bad about it, J .J.
You'll probably find work somewhere

else, I guess.

No, Juan, he don't want to lose me. You
know what I'm talking about? He begged

me to stay.

As of today, I'm having my own
assistant.

He gave you an assistant?

That's right, Juan, that is right.

Give me some claw.

Is that your new assistant?

Get it?

Yeah.

Juan, I just know when this cat gets
here, he better be ready to work. You

what I mean? He better be ready to take
out the garbage cans, take out the

ashtrays, get me some coffee. That's
what an assistant's for, Juan.

Well, I'm really glad to see that
success hasn't gone to your head.

Not me, Juan. Not me at all.

No, sir.

You know what? in this world, there are
followers and there are leaders.

Me, I happen to be a leader of leaders.

Well,

well, well, well, well.

Charmed.

Johnson, your new assistant.

You're my new assistant?

But I thought that... I was supposed to
be a man, right?

Oh, well... It's obvious to see you're
not a man.

Why don't you come over here, mon chéri?

Sit down here with me and possibly have
a little coffee.

Getting coffee?

I thought that's what assistants were
for.

Oh, that's right.

Johnson, give me some coffee.

Well, uh, see you later, leader of
leaders.

Nice meeting you, Valerie.

I'm going to my desk now.

Over here.

Uh, Valerie, let me help you with that.

Oh, that's okay, Mr. Evans.

Uh, you don't have to call me Mr. Evans.
You can just call me... Day Day.

And, uh, I wish you'd call me Val.

Well, Val, now that we have all the
small chit -chat out the way, why don't

say me and you go down and skip the
light fandango and have a little lunch

break. You know what I'm talking about?

Okay, J .J. You know, it's a good thing
I was hired to be your assistant.

You need one.

Huh?

See,

I made a little oops -oops.

straightening up down at the executive
toy toy.

Well, how's it going, honey?

Fine. I think it's going to work out.

Oh, good. You want to go to lunch?

Oh, you should have asked me sooner.

I'm having lunch with J .J.

You know, he seems like a real nice guy.

Yeah. Does he know who you are?

No.

And I like to keep it that way, okay,
Daddy?

Whatever you say, honey. I'll talk to
you later.

I see you talking, though, over the
hill, Harris.

JJ, is that any way to talk about your
boss?

Boss in name only.

Everybody know I make all the impact.

Oh, really?

That's right.

Everybody know old Harry's been taking
credit for my work for years.

Better watch out around old Harry.

more pension than an oversexed lobster.

Old bald head geezer.

Well, look, I'm going to go get my coat,
okay? Yeah, and watch out for old

Harris lurking in the hallways, probably
chasing after women.

Well, I really got to hand it to you,
JJ.

You really painted a very vivid portrait
of Harris for Valerie.

Bet you scored a lot of points, too,
huh? Well, you know, what can I say?

Maybe you should say goodbye.

Valerie is Harris's daughter.

Goodbye, desk.

Goodbye, chair.

Goodbye, rubber cement.

Goodbye,

big fella.

Keep a cold upper lip.

And goodbye, paycheck.

Lunch has been canceled due to a case of
big mouth in his mouth.

So you found out I'm the boss's
daughter.

Oh, come on, J .J.

Put your things back.

I'm not going to have you fired.

But, you know, my father really isn't
bad at all that either.

No, I know. I mean, he's made this
agency what it is today.

He's a wonderful person.

He's a family man. He goes to church.

He loves his family.

He loves his wife and his children.
Matter of fact, I was thinking of having

made St.

Harris.

Wait a minute. He's not as good as all
that either.

Look, J .J., I didn't tell you I was
Harris' daughter because I wanted to be

liked for who I am and not for who I'm
related to.

Now, how about lunch?

Well, uh, I did bring a sandwich here.
We could share that.

Ah, b----.

want this sandwich.

Why not?

My sister Thelma made it.

What is it?

Uh, green tuna.

Green tuna?

Well, you know, maybe it isn't ripe yet.

Oh, yeah, I would feed it to the bear,
only he's an endangered species.

I don't want the poor thing to become
extinct.

Tell me a little about yourself.

Well, there's really not much to tell.
It's a very short story.

I'm charming, witty, brilliant,
debonair,

cordial, wonderful, superlative, and
just your everyday ordinary genius.

Is this for an ad layout?

Oh, yeah, it's just a little sketch I
did. It ain't no big deal there. J .J.,

it's fantastic.

Oh, no, I'll give you another one that's
better. This one's all smushed up. No,

but I want this one. Oh, no, this one's
not that good. No, but I don't care. I

want, I want, I want.

Well, uh, what are we going to do now?

Kick it, Perky.

Oh, man, come on.

Now, what y 'all guys doing here, man?
Hey, look, man, I just came down to tell

you we got tickets to the roller derby.
You know, championship playoff three

weeks from today.

The roller derby.

where the thrills are exceeded only by
the vicious brutality of its demented

partition.

Yeah, yeah. Well, look here, this is
wonderful, Catherine. As you can see,

be there, but there's a conference going
on right now, so y 'all have to wait

here. Wait a second. Aren't you going to
introduce me to your friends?

Uh, yeah.

Valerie, this is Popbo and Head, but
they were just leaving. Hey, no, no.

That's Brother Jay. Hey, man, can't you
see that the brother wants to be alone?

Hey, man, I can't see nothing but the
lady.

Hello, Valerie. Oh, man, come on.

Just getting started. Jam blood.

That's what you told my sister. Now get
on out of here.

We got some interesting friends.

Yeah, very. Now look, Valerie.

Yes, JJ?

Where were we?

Anything dirty to take down to the
laundry room? No, I did the wash

Wilana. Honey, I ain't talking about the
laundry.

I'm talking about some gossip.

Wilana, how about JJ's been seeing
Valerie every night for the last three

Honey, that is not gossip. That's
ancient history.

Did JJ finish my math for school?

I don't think so, Penny. You know he's
been very busy lately.

I don't know which makes me feel worse.

That he's not helping me do my homework.

That he's going out with that old, ugly
girl. Oh, don't be jealous. He just

likes Val. That's all.

Mama, what has she got that I won't have
in a few years?

Right now, Penny, she has a father who's
J .J.'s boss.

Oh, now, Graham, that's not nice.

Well, Lana, things have been getting
better for J .J. at work since he met

Oh, no, darling, that's nothing. It's
just a coincidence.

I don't believe it. It's unbelievable.

Justice has finally occurred.

What, what, what? It's a miracle.

What happened?

Well, beloved family, friends, and
Thelma.

As of today, the person in charge of the
artwork on the Big Bad Cola account is

me, yours truly, the Ebony Prince.
That's right, that's right, that's

lunch me and valerie came back from
lunch and mr harris laid the news on us

told you it was just coincidence and
would you believe there are certain

insidious people down the office that
believe that i got this assignment just

because of my relationship with val can
you believe that ludicrous and

ridiculous assumption

JJ, if that map isn't done by tomorrow,
you and I are through.

I bet you heard that.

Well, things are really going good now.
I'm now rising up the corporate ladder.

Yeah, JJ, but whose shoulders will you
be standing on?

What do you mean by that?

You know, Val is a very nice girl, but
she is the boss's daughter.

JJ, has it ever occurred to you that you
might be using her?

Oh, come on. Thelma, I happen to like
the girl. That's why I'm going out with

her. The reason I'm rising up the
corporate ladder is because, like cream,

always rise to the top.

So does the garbage in Lake Michigan.

I don't have to listen to this anymore.
I had enough of you cats.

I happen to have a date with Val tonight
anyway.

Oh, what a surprise.

I just probably vow right now.

Huh, okay.

All right.

Climb aboard, Brother Jay, cause the
roller derby express is on its way.

It can't be, not tonight.

Oh, Lord, so much trauma.

Hey,

look here, if you were a socket and I
was a light, could we get together and

twinkle tonight?

If you wear a shoe... Yeah, yeah.

And I wear a sock... Oh, yeah, yeah.

You know what I say?

Yeah. Go crawl under a rock.

Hey,

wait a minute, guys. Hold on.

I don't think I can make it tonight,
man.

Hey, man, you gotta make it. I bought
you a ticket.

Cash money.

And I get mean when you mess with my
green.

Oh, wait a minute. I got a date with Val
tonight. Hey, man, you can break it.

No, he can't.

Why not?

Because she's the boy from the daughter.

All right.

Oh, now, come on. Hold on. Hold on, man.
It ain't anything like that. I want to

go out with Val.

I mean, I happen to like the girl.

Is there anything wrong with that? Hey,
man, there ain't nothing wrong with

that. She's fine. It's cool with me. All
right.

Hey, listen, J .J., now, we've been
buddies for a long time, right? Mm -hmm.

Now, has this fox got you so wrapped up
that you can't get away for one night?

Yeah, man. Now, come on, remember our
song, now.

United we stand.

Yeah, I'll divide and we fall. Wow,
we're tied as a pantyhose, two thighs

small.

Hey, Thelma, I'm my own man. I can make
my own decisions.

I don't know what I'm going to tell
Valerie.

Well, whatever you tell her, I don't
want to be here to hear it. I do. No,

don't, because we're going to remote.
Wait a minute, guys.

I'm going to live through this house.

Hey, Thelma, Thelma, Thelma.

Never,

never, never.

She's starting to weaken.

where those lady skaters and those tight
leotards just turned me off.

All right, I hear you. To answer this,
we're going to get ready to get on the

giddy -up. We're going to go to the
roller derby. Hi, J .J., you ready?

Oh, hi, Val.

Come on in.

You remember Pop on Head?

Yeah, of course. How you doing?

Can we get going? We're running late.

Val, there's been a slight change in the
plans.

We're going to the roller derby.

Roller derby? Hey, man, I only got three
tickets.

J .J., I'm waiting.

Well, uh...

Now that we stand, divided we fall.

We're tied to them pantyhose, two sizes
small.

All right, guys, we're going to the
roller coaster. All right, all right,

right. Okay, I'll meet you all down
there, man. Hey, Jay, take care of

man. Okay.

Right on there.

You mean to tell me you'd rather go with
them instead of me?

Uh, well, Valsie, uh, you don't
understand.

We've been lifelong buddies.

No, you don't understand.

You got to give a little to get a
little.

Now, uh, what's that supposed to mean?

Oh, tell me, you haven't been enjoying
the fringe benefits of being my

boyfriend. Like the big bear Cola job.

Oh, now, come on, Val. I got that
assignment because I deserved it.

Well, if that's what you want to think.

Hey, Val, anything I get, I get on my
own. I don't need you.

get without me.

Hey, JJ.

What are you doing home? You should have
been at work hours ago.

Thelma, I'm not going to work. Why not?

After what went down last night, I'm not
sure whether I have a girl or a job

left.

Oh, come on, JJ. Now think about it. a
bright side, huh?

Thelma, that is the bright side.

You got any of that oatmeal left?

Oatmeal? Since when do you eat my
oatmeal?

I don't. I'm using it to make California
on Penny's Mac.

I want it to be earthquake -proof.

Oh. Excuse me, I'm Mr. Harris, JJ's
boss.

May I speak with him for a moment? Yeah.

Oh, Evans, why aren't you at the office?

Oh, you want me to come down and clear
out my desk, huh?

Clear your desk out? Hell no.

I want you to get busy on that big
barricola layout.

You know, me and Val broke it off last
night.

Yeah, I know. She told me. And I told
her she was completely out of line.

You mean she had nothing to do with me
getting that assignment?

Evans, what do you take me for?

I run an ad department, not a gift shop.

Now, you got that assignment because
you're a damn good artist.

Well, if you feel that way about it.

Just be down to the office in two hours.
I'll be there in ten minutes.

I think you're going to need a little
bit more time.

Hi, JJ.

Uh, hi, Val.

I know you probably don't want to see
me, but I just wanted to apologize for

last night.

I was out of line, and I said what I did
because I was being spiteful.

And, well, look, I guess I better be
going now. Uh, wait a minute, Val.

You know, uh, we could start over again.

We could, couldn't we?

Would you like to go out to lunch?

Well, I would love to, but I'm waiting
for California to dry.

What?

On Penny's map, I use oatmeal to make
California, and I'm waiting for it to

J .J., the Mississippi River doesn't go
through New Jersey, and Texas should be

bigger, and North Dakota should be above
South Dakota.

Valerie, Valerie, you may be the boss's
daughter, but around here, I'm

the boss.

Just looking out of the window, watching
the asphalt road,

thinking how it all looks and we die.

Good times, good times, keeping your
head above water, making a

wave when you can.

Good times is videotaped in front of a
studio audience.
