Here are some scenes from last week's
episode.

All right, what's up, folks?

I just come up to let you know that the
elevator's gonna be out of order for its

annual service check. So if you guys got
something to do, you better hurry up.

Service check?

Since when do we have an annual service
check?

What do you mean? We've always had an
annual service check.

Of course, you probably don't remember
the last one. You were just a baby.

Larry,

that was good.

Larry?

Ma, what's the matter with him?

You know something?

This child isn't retarded.

He just can't hear.

But what's all this got to do with his
hearing?

I think he has a hearing problem.

You haven't said that much of anything
if you want to know the truth.

Yes, yes, yes, honey.

Now, you saw him answer me from the
front and from the back, so there's no

way that I can prove it to you. He can
hear only if you yell at him, which is

most of the time.

Thank you for the coffee and the 17
-floor climb.

Where did he go? Oh, my God, the
elevator.

Listen to me.

Don't move.

Don't step back.

And now for the conclusion.

Oh, oh, oh, thank God.

You saved his life.

Yeah, man, you really did.

You okay, man?

Yeah, I'm all right. Good, I'm going to
go talk to Bookman about this elevator.

If he doesn't do something about it, I'm
going to tear the butt off that

buffalo.

Don't you know you could have gotten
yourself...

Figure out?

You had to figure out what we were
saying?

Oh, my God.

Believe me, Mrs. Baker, it's his
hearing.

This child needs medical attention, and
he needs it right now, because the next

time might be too late.

All right, all right.

But where do I take him to find out
about these kind of things?

Don't you have a family doctor?

Yeah, the free clinic.

But all they give you is birth control
pills.

And after six kids, it's a little late
for that now.

Well, the public health service may be
able to refer you to the right hospital.

Hey, wait a minute.

Would somebody mind telling me what's
going on here?

Look, baby, we're going to go and get
you here and tested, okay?

What for?

Well, Mrs. Evans and I feel...

that you're not hearing as well as you
ought to be.

Look, why don't we all just get out of
this hallway before somebody comes along

and spray paints us?

You can

make that call here, Mrs. Baker.

Oh, no, Mrs. Evans. I can't do that now.

I mean, I would, but I got to get back
to work tonight. And I work all day

tomorrow.

I'm a bartender, and if I ain't there to
open and close up, I could lose my job.

Well, can't you get somebody else to do
that, like the cocktail waitress?

I am the cocktail waitress.

Then what about the cashier?

That's me, too.

Bouncer? Uh -huh.

If anybody get out of line with the
cocktail waitress or the cashier, I just

yell, bouncer, and then I bounce them.

Keep the profits, get time off, and a
drink when I need one.

But what about Larry?

You can take me, Mrs. Evans.

Oh, not Larry.

Oh, that's right, Ma. You're not working
tomorrow.

But Velma. Hey, Ma, I think that's a
great idea.

But Michael.

She'll do it. She's wonderful.

But Annie.

That would be great. You see, then Mrs.
Baker can go to work, and Larry will

still be in the hands of a great,
responsible adult. a wonderful and

responsible adult.

Y 'all are spreading it so thick.

I just hope it's one of the cheapest
spreads.

Look, Larry, I think your mother should
have something to say about this.

Oh, she doesn't mind.

Well, it would be an awful lot of help
to me if you could, Mrs. Evans.

See, I told you.

Well, in that case, it's fine with me.

It'll work. Come on. We gotta be going.
Come on.

Oh, and Mrs. Evans, I'm sorry about the
way I acted earlier.

I've been so overworked, I guess I'd
just about jump on anybody.

But you've been a whole lot of help to
us, and I just wish there was a way I

could pay you back.

A layaway's always nice.

Honey. Well, if it's us, that counts.

Thanks again, Mrs. Evans.

You're welcome.

I'll see you tomorrow, Larry.

Right. Bye, everybody.

Bye -bye. See you later, Larry. Bye -bye
now.

Paging Dr.

Woodcock, report to surgery.

Dr. Woodcock, report to surgery.

Paging Dr.

Benton.

Just for some tests.

For what?

Leprosy.

What?

It's rare in Chicago, but when it
spreads, it spreads.

I don't want to say nothing. As soon as
I get home, I'm telling the old lady on

you, sucker.

You hear that?

Well, Lana, Larry's been in there an
awful long time with that doctor.

really starting to get worried about
him. No, stop worrying. He's in good

This is the best hospital in town.

I know.

I'm so glad you can get time off from
your job to come down here with me.

Don't thank me. Thank my boss.

I told him today was a special day for
black women all over America.

It is? What happened?

We all made it through yesterday.

what I did.

Okay, Bookman.

Thank you for driving us down here.

How much does he owe you, Booker?

After what almost happened to that boy
yesterday, I figured it's the least I

do. You know, I tossed and turned all
night.

I know.

The whole building was shaking.

Please, y 'all. I'm really worried about
Larry.

No, don't worry.

that's coming in.

Say, Mama, my name is Lin -Nag.

And if you can't get it here, then there
can't be that Min -Nag.

Now, I got some cough drops and potions
and cups of Hotate.

I'm not ear, nose, or throat, but I can
fix your whole body.

I got a hot water bottle. If you want
it, you can take it.

Or a whole set of bedpans just in case
you can't make it.

Well, hello there, Lenny.

My name is Flo.

Now, I don't want to rush you, but I
wish you'd go.

Because not only are you nuts...

But I'm beginning to see red.

And if you don't get out of my face, I'm
going upside your head.

Take my stuff to the Red Cross.

Excuse

me.

Are you with the Baker boy?

That's right, doctor.

I'm Dr. Casey.

Hey, like in bed?

Well, Doctor, how is he? Is it serious?

Well, we feel any time a person is
subjected to a hearing loss, that's

And so much of it is preventable. When I
see something like this happen to a

sweet little kid like Larry, I tell you,
I gotta stop and take my own blood

pressure. Is it that bad?

146 over 88.

Of course, if I eliminate salt from my
diet.

Oh, you meant Larry.

Well, I feel we should have been
treating him long before this.

Now, don't get along.

It's just that I can't help but feel
concerned about my patient's welfare.

Dr. Casey, it's Mrs. Fletcher on the
phone.

Tell her to go jump in the lake.

Oh, that was just my mother -in -law.

Doctor, about Larry's loss of hearing,
exactly what causes this? Is it some

of disease?

Well, we can't be sure until all the
tests come back, but right offhand, I'd

he's suffering from a moderate case of
stapedial otosclerosis. Oh, my God!

Not that!

No, it can't be that!

That poor kid, and he's so young!

Exactly what is stupidal exclerosis?

Fuck, money!

a progressive softening of one of the
bones in the middle ear.

To put it quite simply, the worse it
gets, the less he hears.

Hey, Doctor, you know, I had an aunt one
time. Good for you.

Now, will you sit down and shut up,
butterball?

Now, getting back to Larry, if we do
find otosclerosis, I'd suggest a

stapedectomy just as soon as possible.

What's that?

Well, it's a simple operation. We just
surgically remove the diseased bone,

replace it with an artificial one.

Of course, it's going to have to spend
the night for observation, but if

everything else checks out, we can go
home the next day.

And that's all there is to it?

Mm -hmm.

Doctor, if it is that simple, why
don't... Well, why don't more people

about it? Right.

I don't know.

Kids need regular physical checkups. I
mean, we can't help them until they come

to us.

And so many parents don't even recognize
the problem until it's too late.

Instead, they feel the child is slow or
inattentive.

Well, then, when can we schedule Larry
for this operation, Mrs. Baker?

Oh, I'm not Mrs. Baker.

Mrs.

Baker? No, I'm single.

And I'm fighting it every day.

Well, then, how about you? Are you the
parent?

Hey, man, do I look like I've had
babies?

No, but it won't be long now.

Doctor. Yes?

Larry's mother is working, but I'll tell
her, and she'll get in touch with you.

Good. And the sooner, the better. Yes,
Doctor.

Oh, Larry.

Hey.

How's my boy?

Fine, Doctor.

Good, good, good.

Well, all right, everybody.

Thank you all very much.

Thank you, Doctor.

Dr. Casey, your mother -in -law called
again. She says she threw her back out.

Threw her back out.

Now that's a start.

If I can just figure out a way to throw
the rest of her out.

See you later.

Well, Larry, what did the doctor tell
you?

Well, he said I might need an operation.

Are you going to bring me?

Oh, no, I think your mother will do
that.

Well, then I'm not coming.

Oh, come on, Larry.

It's nothing to be afraid of. It's a
simple operation, and your mother will

so proud of you. No, she won't. She
doesn't even care. Oh.

That's why when I finally do get out of
here, I'm going to run away from home

and come live with you for the rest of
my life.

or what time is it?

4 .15.

That's the fifth time you've asked me
what time it is, Flo.

Now listen, you had no choice. You had
to tell Larry's mother what he said.

I know. So what if she got a little
upset and yelled and screamed and

the phone down in your ear?

You have no reason to be nervous.

Nervous? What makes you think I'm
nervous?

Well, darling, for the last 25 minutes
you've been spray waxing the furniture

with Michael's deodorant.

matter don't you want our friendship to
smell nice nice try baby well listen

you're both mature adults and mature
adults can always get together and talk

things over without getting angry hey
mrs evans i got a book here on boxing

lessons that you can practice with
before mrs baker gets here now i used to

and the one thing i remember the most
important thing is to keep your chin

tucked in like this you see that's the
way i'll

I know, I dig all that, but what do you
do with the other two chins you got

hanging out here?

You tuck those.

Huh?

Bookman, I don't want boxing lessons.

Oh, okay, then I got some other books
you might like. Here's one on wrestling,

fencing, kung fu.

Oh, here's one, how to cop a plea in
five easy lessons.

Bookman, I don't want any of those.
We're just going to talk, that's all.

Okay, okay, okay, but just in case.

I got a first aid kit tucked in my tool
belt, and I got the police station's

phone number in my wallet. And I'll
personally be right outside just in case

need me.

I appreciate that, Bookman.

And we're deeply impressed with your
concern.

Okay.

Hello there. Excuse me, I'm on my way to
Jamaica.

Hey, Flo, you want me to stay?

No, you go help Bookman Pat.

Don't be no fool, honey.

For the life you saved might be your
own.

Why don't you have a seat, Miss Baker?

No, thank you.

I just came over to pick up my child.

That is, if you already haven't filed
for legal adoption.

Your son is in the back room playing
with my neighbor's child.

Miss Baker, when we talked over the
phone, you didn't give me a chance to

explain. I didn't influence Larry to say
any of that.

Well, what else would make him say a
thing like that?

I mean, do you have any idea how that
makes me feel, Mrs. Evans?

Working all of my life, sacrificing.

Just so my kids would have a decent
change of clothes to wear. And then to

a child come back and say that I don't
care?

Now you tell me, just how am I supposed
to feel?

I don't know what made Larry say any of
that.

Look, maybe if we can just work
together... Mrs. Evans, how many of my

you want?

Maybe I'll just take out my wallet and
let you browse through the pictures.

Miss Baker, Larry is under the
impression that he is mistreated.

Now, if you don't want to discuss it
with me, I suggest you get yourself a

child psychiatrist.

Now, just a minute.

I don't need no psychologist telling me
that I'm an unfit mother and then trying

to charge me an arm and a leg for the
privilege.

I'm already putting myself in debt for
this operation Larry got to have.

Sadly, Mrs. Evans, because I do care.

That's all I need.

Revenge of the brown panther.

Lowry.

Lowry, will you come out here a minute,
please?

Yes, Mrs. Evans.

Your mother's here.

Okay.

She is very upset about what you said at
the hospital.

You told her?

Yes, I did.

Oh, well, I don't care. It's true.

Larry, what makes you think your mother
doesn't care?

Oh, she just doesn't. That's all.

Well, there must be some reason for you
to think that.

Well, she didn't know I had a hearing
problem, and you had to tell her.

Now, if she really cared, she would have
found out a long time ago.

Why didn't you tell her about your
hearing problem?

Well, because I didn't know.

Ah.

And how'd you expect her to know?

Well, because she's my mother.

She's supposed to know.

But all she cares about is working all
the time.

Oh, honey, your mother works because she
loves you.

No, she works because she wants to.

I'm not sure about that.

Well, then, if she really loved me, then
how come she never told me?

I never told you, but you figured it
out, didn't you?

Well, how come you... who I had trouble
hearing and she didn't.

Well, Larry, it's not that she didn't
love you.

It's just that it came on so gradual
that she simply got used to it.

It's a case of not seeing the forest for
the trees.

But you saw it.

Well, ain't many trees around here.

Why, she's loved you all along.

You didn't see it, but I did.

It was in her eyes when you almost fell
down that elevator shaft.

It was in her voice when I spoke to her
over the phone.

And it's written all over her face right
now.

I'm sorry, baby.

Let's see dear Abby top that.

Oh, JJ, I'm so sorry you didn't get the
job.

Look, you stay right there at the bus
station, and we'll pick you up.

Okay, I'll see you in a minute.

Oh, just fine.

Listen, we just came by to bring you a
little present for all of your help.

Oh, you didn't have to do that.

Oh, yes, we did. And Larry insisted.

Okay, Larry?

Okay.

Now ask me something.

All right.

If two is company and three is a
crowd...

What is four and five?

Nine. Ta -da!

Oh, that's

the best present I...
