All language subtitles for Good Times s06e01 Floridas Homecoming 1

Good time! Anytime you need a payment.
Good time! Anytime you need a friend.

Good time! Anytime you're up and under.

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

Making a way when you can.

Temporary layoffs. Good time!

If you are not home in that bed in 30
seconds, you are going to have hot buns

before breakfast.

But aren't we going to wait up for
Michael and Thelma, though? 29, 28.

Shut up.

Even Marie Osmond knows more than I do.

I'll watch.

Hey, Walona. Huh?

You're telling me that Thelma and
Michael are not home yet? Me, the

home first? That's right.

Well, then. What are you doing?

I'm getting ready to make another date.

I'm going out with Bess the Midnight
Express.

She starts late but makes no stops.

I've seen Bess. She looks more like
Poggy.

Well,

I better go change into some threads
more apropos for the late, late, late

AJ, what's going on?

Since Flo has been away, you kids have
been running wild.

I tell you, I don't know how much more I
can take of this.

Oh, take it easy, Walona.

Evan's family's doing just great, you
know what I mean?

I'm a big -time advertising exec.

Michael's getting ready to go to
college.

Thelma, well, you know, you can't win
them all.

A little too conservative for me.

J .J., I know you're... making a good
salary, but must you spend all your

on clothes? Why don't you put some money
in the bank?

Because I attract more interest this
way, Walona. The bank only gives away

calendars. Me, I get the live
merchandise.

Well, Walona, how you like it?

You want my honest opinion?

Yeah, why not?

You look like a Q -tip dipped in
Mercuricone.

Hi, JJ. Hi, Walona.

Y 'all show up early.

Grams, just one minute. You know what
time it is?

Yeah, Michael, don't you think you got
something to say here?

Sure.

Good night.

I hope yours is as good as mine.

Michael, now the only time you stayed up
this late before was when you were

doing your homework.

Well, Belona, I may not have been at
home, but I was working.

Matter of fact, I gotta say goodbye to
all these women before I leave for

college.

Hey, Michael, you don't leave for
college for two weeks yet. It's going to

you that long to say goodbye to all
those foxes? If I hurry.

In that case, Michael, there's still no
reason for you to be coming home this

late. So me being the brother superior
and head of the house, I'm going to have

to command you to your room. Oh, good
night. But I'm confiscating this

Hey, brother, you can't take away my
gusto.

What's going wrong in this family?

You're all coming in late. Don't have
your meals together anymore.

You don't even see each other for days
at a time.

You all are getting on my nerves.

Have any of you noticed what's happening
to Thelma?

What's wrong with Thelma?

Well, she's coming in late, acting
distant, and when I ask her where she's

she doesn't hear me.

Sounds like she's in love or going deaf.

J .J., I'm serious.

All right, all right.

When she gets home, I'll have a good old
-fashioned hard -to -hard talk with

her. And then we'll get to the bottom of
this here problem.

Well, here's the bottom.

Good evening, folks. I mean, good
morning, folks.

Bugger, what are you doing nosing around
here this time of the morning?

Hey, this is trash day.

Better get down there before the truck
leaves without you.

You know, I come up here to do you
people a favor, and all I get is

don't need this. Bye.

Bye.

Oh, I'm going now. Bye.

Adios.

Well, I mean, if nobody's worried about
where Thelma is, it's fine with me.

Hey, look away.

You know where Thelma is? Yeah, I just
saw her. Where is she? Is she all right?

Where is she? Hey, I don't want to upset
nobody. Hey, now, Negro, please, tell

me where she is.

Sitting down right in front of this
building and a big, long, red Cadillac

necking with some dude.

What? There's only two kind of dudes in
the ghetto can afford a fancy car like

that. One is a numbers runner, and the
other is... I'll kill her!

Did you recognize the dude?

Well, I tried.

Lord knows I tried, but they were
kissing so hard, they fogged up the

I'll teach him to muscle my sister. Hey,
hey, hey, I think he already knows how.

excited rationally and calmly who is it
i'm a winner hell have you been hello

the car windows isn't all that's fogged
up

is this window fogger you've been going
out with.

His name is Keith.

Keith Anderson.

Hey, he's got the same name as that
black football player who almost won the

Heisman Trophy.

Michael, that is him. It is.

You mean you, the ugly duckling that
snagged the Golden East?

Thelma, you know I read in the paper
that he's in town to sign a million

contract with the Bears.

A million -dollar contract? Thelma, the
nice young...

He introduced himself to me after he saw
me dance at the community center.

And I didn't even know he was a football
player.

Thelma, when are we going to meet him?
Really, really soon.

I've been going out with him for about a
month, so I decided to invite him for

dinner.

Dinner? Yep. Who's going to do the
cooking?

I am.

Ooh.

Thelma, you going to tomane the goose
before he lay the golden eggs?

Thelma, wait a minute, baby. I want to
ask you one question.

How does Keith feel about you?

I don't know, Ilona, but I do know one
thing for sure.

I love him.

And I just can't stop hoping that he
loves me, too.

Look at this dress. It's stuck. I can't
zip it up.

Thelma, that's because it's got buttons
on it.

Some Chinese food.

I thought Keith may like some. I got
here some Mugu cow pain.

Some Mongolian albifo.

Some Peking duck.

And a chicken that lost its passport.

JJ, you know I cook the roast.

Hi, y 'all. Is Keith here yet?

No. What's all this?

Oh, nothing. Just a couple of dozen hors
d 'oeuvres I threw together.

I want Keith to be really comfortable,
so just everybody just be yourselves.

Except for you, JJ.

Hey, silly.

There ain't nothing but somebody's name
scribbled on a piece of paper. Most of

the time, you can't read them anyway.

Hey, that's all right. I don't mind,
man.

Well, in that case, make it out to J
.J., the man who has

created more moves than prune juice.

Hey, this is my brother, J .J. Hello,
man. Glad to meet you. Thelma told me a

lot about you. I deny every word.

The girl's gotten into a bad habit of
lying.

Well, she told me you were a talented
artist, had a good future, and, uh, were

very handsome.

As I was saying, Thelma has never lied a
day in her life.

And this is my other brother, Michael.

Glad to meet you, Keith. I saw your last
football game, man, and that touchdown

you made was on the money. Ah, man,
thanks, Mike. No problem. And this is

little neighbor, Penny.

Uh -huh, well, I'm big born.

Ah, yes, my little chickadee.

I'd like to sing a little ditty for you.
You light up my nose.

Keith, I didn't know you were an actor,
too. Hey, well, I took drama in college.

That's why the teacher made me go out
for football.

Well, this is our best friend and
Penny's mother, Walona Woods. How are

You're lovely. You're as beautiful as
Thelma said.

Ooh, child, honey, he's a natural.

He ain't even got the ball yet, and he's
already scored a touchdown.

Well, Keith, dinner will be ready in a
minute. All right, babe. Order?

No, that's all right. How about some moo
-moo cow pants?

a big Chinese delicacy. Come on, help me
in the kitchen, please.

I'll help too, Thelma.

I'm the artist, yeah. Oh, Keith, I watch
football on TV, and could you tell me

one thing? What's that?

Why does the man who called the numbers
always have to lean over and tickle the

man who hands him the ball?

That's to warn him if he doesn't hand it
right, he might get more than a tickle,

you know what I mean?

Yo, got a question for you. How come
there aren't any head black coaches in

football today?

Because we players can't afford to take
the cut in salary. But, Michael, there's

going to be some black head coaches
someday real soon, my man. I hope so,

brother. I mean, this is the 20th
century now.

All right. All right, then. Well, let's
get down to the main, most important

aspect of professional sports. What's
that? That happens to be product

endorsement.

As you know, I'm a big -time advertising
exec.

Michael, my cigars, please.

Keith Albert Anderson, right? Right.
Well, you know there's OJ Simpson.

From now on, you're going to be known as
K .A. Anderson, better known as Kool

-Aid Anderson.

Way out, huh? Hey, wait, wait out, J .J.
You're on to something there. Well, you

know, what can I say?

There's plenty more where that came
from.

Now, you know how O .J. Simpson runs
through airports and rents cars?

Well, from now on, you're going to run
through bus stations and rent airplanes.

Yes, sir.

That's brilliant. Say, how about renting
out advertising space on my uniform,

huh? I ain't no doubt about it. See,
that is right in the back there.

I'm telling you, boy, what we got to do
is incorporate you. Between my brains

and your athletic ability, there's no
telling how much bread we can slice.

All right, I hear that, man.

If your brains are going to be behind
this whole organization, I got the

slogan for your ad company. Oh, yeah?
What's that?

Get a piece of the rock.

Michael, answer the phone. I got it.
Well, I think of an answer for that

wisecrack. Hello?

You want to speak to Keith Anderson?

Who's calling?

Guy by the name of Mr. Compton. Well,
that's my agent. I told him I'd be here.

Yeah, he's here.

Hi, Al.

Oh, they made us another offer, huh?

Oh, we're 15 ,000 apart.

Yeah, well, don't give in, man.

No.

Yeah, let me know what happens.

Yeah, see you, baby.

Okay, later, Al!

Okay, let's go to the colonels.

Belma, look at the roast. Belma, the
roast looks absolutely beautiful. Not

as beautiful as the cook looks. Well,

I guess I'll come.

It's JJ. Aren't you forgetting
something?

Oh, yeah, right.

Lord, who parted the Red Sea off of
Egypt's coast.

My college coach always had us say a
prayer before each game. I still

it.

Dear Lord, we humbly ask your blessings
for our team and our opponents.

Let us be gentle and righteous, for
peace and love are all that matters.

Now let's get out there and kick their
butts!

Cut one, cut two, let's eat. Cut to me,
man.

Why don't you use the sharp end of the
knife?

half -sauce would be more appropriate.

You see, Thelma's used to cooking in a
radar oven. Yeah, but the radar kept

locating enemy submarines.

I tell you, ain't nothing like a good
firm roast to strengthen your teeth.

Yeah, smiling Leon Spinks eat here all
the time.

than the Dallas defense.

Honey, who cares?

Look, Thelma.

Thelma, you're gorgeous. You're sweet.
You're the best woman I've ever met.

And I'm not marrying you for your
cooking. Wait, wait, wait. Would you

that?

I said I'm not marrying Thelma for her
cooking. Is that a proposal?

It is.

You ain't got much time. I already told
you, as soon as I sign this contract, I

got to go off on the road with the
Bears.

And I feel a lot better if I know you're
Mrs. Anderson.

So if we're going to do it this
Saturday, it has got to be the day.

Oh, Keith, I love you and everything,
but I can't say yes until I talk to my

mother, and she's in Arizona.

Let's talk.

Mom down is always there when you need
us. We call a collection.

Come on, Katie, dial that phone. We call
a collection. We've been waiting 21

years to hear this message.

It's ringing. It's ringing.

permission will i marry him if you say
no yes ma

i think so well if i love him that much
marry him

Yeah, I should have never let J .J. go
pick Ma up. J .J. can't even pick up his

own socks in the morning.

Diamond, you know J .J. wanted to do
this whole thing on a first -class

As a matter of fact, he borrowed a limo
from Ferguson's mortuary.

How y 'all's floor here? Oh, no, Walona,
I don't know. I hope nothing went

wrong. Oh, honey, calm down.

You're a nervous wreck.

Yeah, I guess I am upset.

You know, Walona, last night I couldn't
sleep at all.

You know that's natural?

You get married tomorrow?

That means two nights without sleep.

Gramps. Well, I'm just telling it like
it is.

I don't believe it. Little Thelma Evans,
a bride.

You're going to be so happy together.

Marrying a rich, handsome football
player.

Why couldn't it happen to me?

Forget the wedding bouquet, honey. Throw
me a football player.

Well, I shouldn't be upset.

Because my ex, Roger the Dodger, and I,
we had a fantastic wedding.

Honey, I walked down the aisle with my
pot de soie silk.

And six bridesmaids threw rose petals as
I stepped down the aisle.

It was a beautiful wedding.

Only thing that's flawed was the
marriage.

Sure, honey. You won't have the trouble
I had with my man.

Now, Roger was not a football player,
but he sure played the field.

Come here, Gramps. Let me show you a
picture of this dude right here. Look at

this. Oh, ain't he handsome, honey? He
is so fine.

He smokes.

There ought to be a warning behind his
name.

Hazardous to your health.

Oh, but he was so good to me.

He was good to the cocktail waitress, a
meter maid, and he was very good to the

Avon lady.

They rang each other's chimes.

And would you believe the day we were
splitting, he followed a black dress for

ten minutes before he realized it was
the judge that was divorcing us.

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

thinking how it all looks when we die.
