Oh, I should have known.

Said seal lid before striking.

at the new head buyer at the boutique.

Oh, mama, I'm so happy for you. Oh,
baby. Just think, my mother's a buyer.

Wait till I tell the kids my mother's a
buyer.

Right. Mama, what's a buyer?

What's a buyer?

A buyer is, well, you see, a buyer has
to... A buyer has to know all about the

fashion. No, a buyer... Never mind.

buyer is this. If there was no buyers in
the world, we would be running around

in our jockey shorts.

Well, Lana, you think you can handle it?
Honey, can't I handle it?

Ooh, child, when it comes to spending
money, I am good.

But when it comes to spending somebody
else's money, I am sensational.

Lana, you'll be the best buyer that
boutique has ever had. Oh, thank you,

You know what?

I can't tell you kids what this
promotion means to me.

Not just the glory of it, although I
sure would enjoy that.

But since I was 16, I've been scratching
and scuffling and struggling for

survival. Honey, ain't nobody ever gave
me nothing. You hear me?

So now this is what makes a promotion so
sweet. You know what I'm saying to you?

You earned it. I earned it. Hey, hey.

Oh, Lana, there's no stopping you now.
Honey, if I keep on keeping on naming

markers, what's your call?

Good, Penny.

Thank you. Oh, hi, Frank.

Hey, uh, somebody's missing.

Oh, yeah, JJ. Even when he's here, he's
missing.

Frank,

he's on a date with Wanda the Watusi.

You say Wanda?

Thank you. The Watusi? Yeah.

Watusi is what you get. Oh, yeah.

Oh, just a few little goodies here for
my favorite family, Thelma. Oh, thank

you. Yes, and Penny, Michael, and one
for Jay. Hey, bro, what were you

time?

I'll tell you what, kids. Why don't you
do me a favor and go open the presents

in your room? What's wrong with out
here?

Michael, how did you get to be 16 and
not know anything?

I couldn't get an answer at your place.
Oh, you know, the last time we talked,

you were going to Venezuela or something
to put up some building. Well, I put

them up, and once they were gone, you
know, it was adios, amigo.

Oh, well, senor, we're off to Argentina
next or Montego Bay.

Would you believe Lakeshore Drive?

Too late, baby. They already built that
up.

I mean, to live there.

Frank, you gonna move to Chicago?

Frank, you driving me?

Look here, baby.

I'm going to buy a pad so bad, the
toilets won't even flush.

They'll hum.

Yeah.

It's that laugh, baby. Oh, it's so good
to hug you again. A hug, you don't mind

it one bit.

Hey, you remember when I left?

You promised me that if I came back and
settled down in one place, we'd do it as

man and wife.

I do have some vague recollection of
that.

Well, uh, I'm gonna hold you to that
promise, Miss Malona Woods.

Oh.

There you go.

Oh, Frank!

Honey, this isn't a dime, eh?

This is a flash cube!

Hey, Mama!

What?

Oh, you two with Dad again.

Oh, Teddy, um... Well, it's all right.
You don't have to stop on account of me.

Well, all right.

Penny, how'd you like your present?

Yeah, that's what I came to ask you
about.

What is it?

Well, it's a genuine Venezuelan charm
necklace.

Made from real monkey teeth. And the
natives say that it brings good luck.

Well, if it's supposed to bring you good
luck, then why is some poor monkey down

in Venezuela gum and bananas?

You're welcome, Penny.

Penny, wait a minute, baby.

Mama has a little problem. I want you to
help me decide something, okay? Okay.

Frank has decided to stay here in
Chicago and he wants to marry me.

He does?

What do you think?

Mmm.

ever proposed to a whole family.

Oh, Lord, I'm so happy for you. Thank
you, baby.

Oh, what a day this has been. First a
promotion and now a proposal.

You got a promotion?

Yeah. Mama's a buyer. Not just a buyer.

You are looking at the boutique's head
buyer, Frank.

Yeah. Congratulations.

I'm proud of you, baby. Oh, thank you,
baby. I'm so happy.

Well, Miss New Head Buyer.

Yeah. When you gonna have... and your
notice.

What notice?

You know, your notice. Hang it up. Quit.
Say goodbye.

Quit what?

Your job so we can get this marriage
rolling.

Honey, I ain't quitting my job.

Of course you are.

What do you mean, of course?

You are going to be Mrs. Frank Mason.

Um, how many invitations are we going to
need? Frank, why do I have to quit my

job to be Mrs. Frank Mason?

Because you won't have to work anymore.

Honey, don't I have any say -so about
whether I want to work or not? Hey, hey,

listen, you little bird. I got a great
idea. Why don't you get married to

Reverend Beasley's church?

I heard that if you get married on
Friday night before midnight, you get a

bingo game.

Well, Lona, don't be ridiculous.

You've been working all your life.

Frank, so have you, baby. I'm not asking
you to quit your job.

Hey, can I be the flower girl?

But that's different. Frank, oh.

asking for is a choice.

You are acting like a dictator.

I'm gonna be your husband.

It doesn't give you any license to drive
my life, honey.

Now may I ask you, have you ever seen
two people more in love?

J. Edgar Hoover and Ma Barker?

Well, Lona, you're making something out
of nothing.

Maybe, maybe.

me nothing to you, but to me it is
definitely something.

Hey, pretty, pretty, you don't
understand.

I'm going to give you the world.

Jewels, furs, a car, a chauffeur, a
white one if you want it. Oh, Frank.

Oh,

baby, baby.

You ain't going to have to lift a
finger. We'll hire somebody to lift it

you. Oh, Frank.

What are we doing?

Baby, it's been a long day, and I'm
excited and everything. Why don't we

about it some other time, okay?

Come on, don't be mad now.

Come on.

Okay. Okay.

Hey, look, I got over here so fast, I
didn't even have a chance to pick up my

bags. Oh. I'll go to the airport, pick
them up, you know, arrange for the

and I'll talk to you later. Okay. Okay.

Say goodbye to the kids for me. I will.
Oh, well, you might as well think about

that letter of resignation.

I'm sure you're going to see it my way.

Thank you.

Good night, Mrs. Mason.

Hi, Bologna.

Bologna? What you want, baby?

Girl, where are you?

I'm in here.

Hello?

Boo!

It's a good thing you came out, girl,
because I was just about to get somebody

to come and mow your counter.

I'll tell you, Frank is either trying to
build up points or build me my own Rose

Bowl float.

Well, the last green thing my boyfriend
gave me was a bottle of Scope.

Do me a favor, baby. Take some of these
flowers to your counter. Oh, okay. Okay?

It's my first day as a buyer, and I want
everything to go just right. You know

what I mean?

I'm expecting a salesman to come in,
too, this morning.

Boyfriend once was a salesman.

Traveling salesman.

Aren't they all?

You ought to take something for that.

Oh, boy, this is pretty, this.

Guess who?

Oh, no.

Don't tell me it's Frank Mason with more
flowers.

No flowers.

Candy, baby. Oh, Frank.

You got chocolates from Australia,
bonbons from Paris, and Turkish taffy.

All you got to do is walk by this
counter. You can get acne in 15

languages.

Baby's not here. Why not?

Not here. This is my place of business.

Now, why don't you do me a nice favor
and go browse?

I'm browsing. I'm browsing. Frank, if
you don't leave me alone and get out of

here. Okay, I'll go. Go on.

Got nothing else? Get going.

Frank, please. Please, please.

Who was that man?

Frank.

Lord.

Skip Casey, St. George Fashions. Oh,
hello.

Wilona Wood.

You're going to love our new spring
line.

Everyone's wearing it. Yafit Kota wore a
shirt identical to this in his latest

film. Not only did he look fantastic in
it, but after he was shot, the blood

washed right out in cold water.

How many dozen would you like, Wilona?

Now, wait. Before I decide, I'll have to
see one on the model.

Saved you the trouble. I'm wearing one.

Feel the material.

Let's see now.

Oh, it's soft.

Yeah.

Very nice. Working hard?

Oh, honey, uh, Mr., uh... Casey.

Skip Casey.

St. George Fashion.

Yeah, I'm Frank Mason, fiancé.

Frank, don't do that, darling.

Frank, uh, he was just showing me his
line of shirts, dear.

That's right, Mr. Mason. Care to feel
the material?

Don't mind if I do.

Frank,

put him down.

He's strong.

Frank, put him down. Get lightweight.
Put him down.

Not a wrinkle. Not a single wrinkle.

Isn't he funny?

You see, he's a weightlifter. You just
stay here one minute. I'll be right

okay? May I speak to you one moment,
dear? Of course, darling. In private?

Nice meeting you, Skip Casey.

Are you crazy? What are you doing?

I was only trying to help. If the boss
had seen that, I would lose my job.

That's what you're trying to do, huh?

Help me get fired.

Of all the rotten, low -down things to
do.

Hey, baby.

Okay,

okay, it was a rotten thing to do. I
won't ever do it again if you promise to

have dinner with me tonight.

Oh.

Dinner? Anything, anything, anything.

May this do me a favor, please. See Mr.
Mason out.

I'll go, but dinner tonight.

Okay, okay.

I'll be there.

What time?

got the coffee going?

Yes, parking.

Good. Has a new line of imported French
nightgowns from Brooklyn come in yet?

No, but the Italian shoes came in from
Japan.

Good, I'll check them out.

Oh, there's something else you should
check out first.

What? Mr. Simpson wants to see you.

Lord have mercy. Just three days on the
job and already the boss wants to pat me

on the back.

I hope it's my back he wants to pat.

Mr. Simpson, you sent for me?

Yes, Miss Wood.

Perhaps you'd care to sit in my lap.

What?

Frank,

what are you doing? What are you sitting
in the boss's chair for? Do you know if

he walked in that door, I'd get fired
right this minute? Well, sure, Malona,

first you've got to answer my question.
Do you want to sit in my lap or don't

you? Oh, Frank, come on, baby. Get out
of the chair. This isn't funny. Get out

of the chair. Relax, baby.

The boss comes in here. The boss is
here.

Oh, maybe. Be serious.

I am serious.

I just bought this boutique.

Lord have mercy.

You said you just bought this boutique.

Me and the bank.

Why? What are you trying to do?

Make money.

Looks like it's going to be a good
investment.

Oh, Frank, you don't need no more
investments.

I know why you bought this place. You
figure if you're the boss, you can fire

me, right? Why would I do that?

Because you want a stay -at -home,
dutiful, boring wife.

Well, Luna, you know that's not my
style.

Oh, Frank.

Oh, baby.

Look.

Okay, so I was wrong to tell you you
couldn't work.

That's my hang -up.

But, baby, you've got to realize where
I'm coming from.

My mama worked hard all her life. I
watched her work herself into an early

grave. And I made myself a promise.

No wife of mine would ever go through
the same thing.

Oh, Frank, so did mine.

But they had to work for survival.

But it's different with me.

I'm working for self -fulfillment.

Okay, you're making it pretty clear how
you feel about that. So if you want to

work, go ahead and work.

Oh, see, all that for nothing.

I got a surprise for you. Oh, no, no,
no, honey, no more chocolates, no more

flowers. No flowers, no chocolates, just
this. This?

This is your office.

My office. This is your boutique. My
boutique. You're in charge.

Oh, I got a million things to do. I can
lock up the wall, bring in a new...

Honey, I'm in charge.

Oh, don't think that I'm in charge.

What do you know about being in charge?
All you got to do is sit over here and

be pretty. I sure will.

Yeah, now if you want to come in at ten
and go home at three, that's fine.

If you want to take three -hour lunches,
five -day weekends, tell everybody else

what to do, in fact, you don't even have
to be here. You can just phone it in

from the country club.

What do you mean, phone it in from the
country club? I thought you said I was

charge. I have a million things to do
now that I'm the boss.

Well, wait a minute now. You're going to
be Mrs. Frank Mason. You're not going

to have time for all them little petty
details.

Petty.

Did you say petty?

I see we're right back to where we
started, huh?

You just don't want me to work.

Well, you may as well fire me.

What? What?

Well, Lona, I thought you'd be happy
about all of this. Frank, I don't know

I feel right now.

You're going to think I'm crazy when I
tell you this, baby, but there was a

when I thought all I needed was a good
man to take care of me.

Well, I tried that, honey.

Didn't work out.

I found myself out there in that world
with nobody to lean on. And I wasn't

going to take welfare, and I wasn't
going to take no handouts. I had to

my own two feet. I know that, Winona.
Frank, listen, honey, in just four

I came from stock clerk to head buyer.

Now you come along and want to knock the
whole thing out from underneath me.

Frank, baby, you're trying to buy my
independence, and, baby, it's not for

Ilona, there is something I don't
understand.

Maybe you just don't understand me,
Frank. I don't get it. I just don't get

I mean, I can figure out how to lay 50
miles of pipeline through swamp and

jungle, but I will never understand the
female mind.

The female mind.

It has nothing to do with being a
female.

It has to do with being a person, a
person that wants to fulfill their life.

Now, Frank, we couldn't even get married
because you were fulfilling your life,

traveling all over the world. I never
tried to stop you. Hold it!

I've been busting my butt here trying to
do something good for you. And all I'm

getting back from you is lip -flap and
back -talk.

Frank, you're getting my love.

But I guess that's just not enough for
you.

Where are you going now?

Someplace you can't buy.

Home!

Pork. Spoons.

Knives.

Selma, something's missing.

What did I miss?

Where's that stomach pump?

Hi, Penny.

Hey, Penny. How's your mother? Not too
good.

I think she's bored.

Well, no wonder.

She lost the job and Frank didn't call
her. Yeah, Penny, you know what you

should tell your mother? She should get
interested in a hobby.

I tried that already.

Did she do it? Yeah.

She's playing with my matchbook
collection.

Venus massage parlor.

I found it on the back.

Okay.

Well, hi, kids. Hi, Wilona.

How's everything going?

Fine, Wilona.

Wilona. What, Graham?

He's sitting on my book report.

Oh, no.

Sorry, you want me to iron it out for
you?

Well, anybody care for a movie or
something?

No, thanks, Elona.

Hey, Elona, why don't you go out on the
town by yourself and try to forget about

Frank? Frank?

Frank who?

Haven't thought about him in days.

But, Mama, this morning... That's right.

Haven't thought about him in days.

No, no, no, no, no. Please, let me do
it.

Make me feel like I'm doing something
important.

I'm not.

What do you want, Bookman?

Just want to let you know I won't be on
duty tonight. I'm going out.

Oh, take me with you.

Am I saying?

Well, Miss Bookman and I are just going
to our regular club meeting. Bookman,

what club do you belong to? The Jolly
Janitors.

Tonight we're going to discuss the
relative merits of pipe joint conflict.

Listen, I can fix you up with a date.

Hey, my friend Leroy Hackett, you'll
love him, too.

I mean, you both have something in
common. Like what?

He broke up with his sweetheart, and
he's out of a job, too.

Mr. Buffalo Brain himself.

Hey, what ever happened to Buffalo Butt?

Your butt and your brain is in the same
place.

Hey, that'll be the little lady. She
can't stand to be away from my side.

Baby,

you ain't got no side.

we should shake hands?

Don't wait downstairs.

Hi, Walona.

Um, Michael?

Yeah? Penny?

Tommy, you better do something about
that nervous twit.

to see you here, Frank.

I thought you'd be out buying up half of
the city of Chicago by now.

Yeah, well, guess I deserved that one,
didn't I?

I just came by to tell you I pulled out
of the deal to buy the boutique, and

I've arranged for you to get your job
back.

Is that true?

No strings?

No strings.

I've had time to think about it.

And I'm sorry for trying to step on your
dreams, run your life.

Listen, I know how much it means to you.

Look, I guess in all the time we've
known each other, we never took the time

really get to know each other.

So what's going to become of us?

Because, lady, I happen to love you
very, very much.

Frank, I love you, too.

Maybe we should take some time now and
try to work things out.

We know we love each other. Now let's
see if we can like each other.

Sounds good to me. Me too.

Now about this, should I... You leave
that right where it is.

I'm not going anywhere.

Neither am I.

You know something? What?

I'm hungry.

Me too.

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.

Temporary layoffs, good times, easy
credit ripoffs, good times.

Good times is videotaped in front of us.
