Good times.

No, no, no. You got to watch one more
time here. You are going to get this

for the community -centered dance. You
hear me? Now watch me. I'm going to turn

on the radio, and we're going to dance.
Okay. All right.

I

don't

think I want to do that.

Without music, you can get arrested. Do
you understand?

Oh, no, you can't.

dance Saturday?

Boom Boom said she's tired of J .J.
dressing fancier than she does.

So J .J. said, well, what can I say?

When it comes to fashion, I'm a model
from heaven. And the clothes you wear,

you're 747.

Yeah, but I'm surprised that J .J. broke
up with Boom Boom Belinda before the

dance.

Hey. Hey, maybe this is a chance for
teeth cleaning. Wait a minute. What's my

helper got to do with J .J.?

A TC's hot to trap for JJ.

Hot to trap?

I think it's time for you to do your
homework. Come on.

Every time the good stuff comes around,
I got to go study.

Don't even worry about it. We can play
gin over at your house later.

Come over to my place, big boy.

We'll finish the gin, and after that, we
can play cards.

sink for y 'all. Oh, can you imagine
that? A tub fixing a sink?

We told you about that leak three months
ago, you know? Yeah, but I didn't have

the things I needed to fix it.

Here's your helper now, Hamburger.

Hi, TC.

Is, uh, JJ here?

No. Oh.

Well, are y 'all going to the dance
Saturday night? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah,

gonna go.

Is JJ going?

girl he was going to take to the dance.

Really? Yeah.

Oh, that's too bad.

Okay, TC, that's enough of that chit
-chatting. You want to chase after JJ,

it on your own time. And another thing,
young lady, you don't see me let my love

life interfere with my work.

How could nothing interfere with
nothing?

TC, get that thing fixed.

Oh, by the way, Miss Woods, don't you
have a shower for me to fix?

No, no, no, no, no, no. That was five
months ago.

Who needs hot water anyway?

I know what you mean. I've been taking
cold showers ever since the day I got

married.

What do you think?

I thought J .J. was going to take you to
the dance.

Haven't y 'all been going out for a
month now?

Yeah, Michael, but it's only on
weeknights.

We watch the hockey games, the
basketball games, the wrestling match.

I would like to be something more than
just one of the guys.

Oh, TC, it's not you.

You know, when it comes to women,
there's something you must know about

Oh, no.

JJ's gay?

No, no, no, that's not what I mean at
all.

Well, see, his taste in women... Well,
how can I say this? You know, well, it

runs to... Trash.

Well, let's say flash. I mean... What
she's trying to say is...

His girls have nicknames. He gives them
all nicknames. Like Boom Boom Belinda.

Or Myrna the Burner.

And Mickey the Quickie.

Hey, everybody.

Hey, Keith.

How you doing?

How you doing? See, babe, I told you I
had to remember to pick up my suit.

baby. You were supposed to pick up my
dress at the cleanest. Where is it? Jay

just got your dress.

Don't worry. He'll be up in a minute. He
was just huffing the girl down at the

cleanest for a date to the dance.

J .J. is going to take a perfect
stranger to the dance. She turned him

J .J. wouldn't take no for an answer.
When I left, she was pressing his

With him in them.

J .J., will you look at my dress? What
are you doing?

It's got 50 creases in it.

Malona, I'm lucky that I'm not creased.

with a dress is not exactly easy.

I had a whine or wink at me. I had a
construction worker whistle at me. And

guy asked me to go do a dance.

Why wouldn't you go?

Hey, TC, my main man, what's happening,
bro?

JJ, I heard you broke up with Boom Boom
and Liz last night.

Uh, uh, it's not gonna be easy to get
another date for the dance.

No big deal, Thumb.

All I got to do is pick up the phone,
make one quick call, and my reputation,

girls will break down the door just to
get a look at me.

J .J., and when they do get a look at
you, they'll break down the walls to get

away from you.

Yeah, I'm going to make one girl real
happy tonight.

Yeah?

Yeah. What I'm going to do is go get my
little black book and let my fingers do

the walking through the yellow pages of
L .U .V.

Love.

Tracy, you better do something.

What? Take the initiative.

Ask him out for a date.

Well, I don't know.

Hey, look, this is the age of the
liberated woman. I mean, I always enjoy

when a girl comes on to me.

Before

you

were married, right?

Yeah, yeah, long time ago.

what J .J. calls some bimbo, you'll be
out on the limbo.

Who is going to be the lucky girl?

So, J .J., this is your little black
book, huh?

Uh, that's only from A to G, Keith. I
couldn't carry the rest of it out here.

Let me look at this mess you got here.

I got it all indexed and everything,
see?

I got it according to height, weight,
hair color, hairstyle, hair length. You

even got a little extra star down there
for experience.

You go out with a girl who's 38.

Uh, that's not her age, Keith.

That's her IQ.

Yeah, Keith.

I even got dates according to present
dates, current dates.

Future dates?

Mm -hmm. Future dates.

Lola Falana, Donna Summer, Princess
Grace.

I like a little challenge.

J .J., do you think that, um, uh, I
wonder if... Shut up!

Fifi? Yeah, this is J .J. here.

Yeah, kiss, kiss to you too, lover.

Look here, I know this is a little far
in advance to be calling you.

But there's a dance tomorrow night. You
think you can make it?

Oh, you got a babysitter.

Oh, yeah, you got a babysitter for
little Timmy Johnson?

Oh, okay.

Little Timmy Johnson?

Wait a minute, that dude's 22 years old!

JJ, if you need a date for the dance,
what to call those girls?

There's a sexy lady right here in this
living room who would love to go to the

dance with you.

Well, don't you think you're a little
too old for me?

Slap across your nose.

Uh, J .J., I have something very
important to ask you.

Oh, yeah. I got something important to
ask you, too, T .C., but you go first.

Oh, no.

It can wait. You go first.

Well, you know, there's a big dance
Saturday night.

Uh -huh.

And, you know, we've been going out a
little bit lately, you know, going to

football game, basketball game over at
Hanson's, right? Yeah, I have so much

fun. I always have a good time when I'm
with you, JJ.

Yeah, yeah. We laugh.

Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha. And we laugh.

Ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha,

ha. Remember that wedges who spilled a
drink on you?

Oh!

I was down there about a week ago. And
he spilled a drink on me.

I just don't understand, JJ.

I mean, even when the cocktail waitress
turns him down, he goes to a singles bar

to try to hustle a date.

What's wrong with me anyway?

Hey, TC, you finishing here yet?

Please, buffalo butt.

finished, yeah.

Well, I mean, can't you see she's upset?

She wanted JJ to ask her to the dance,
and he didn't. Oh, that's too bad, T .C.

I know how you feel.

There's nothing in the world worth than
being dumped.

You feel... You sort of feel lower than
dirt. You just want to crawl in a hole

and die.

Burger, don't ever apply for a job at
Hallmark.

You know, TC, one way to get rid of a
broken heart is to just throw yourself

into your work.

Bookman, I'm a plumber. I fix toilets.

I know that.

But you'll get over it, kid, because
you're a tough guy.

See what I mean? I am tired of being one
of the guys.

I am a woman.

Right on, TC.

And, TC, don't be ashamed to show it.

Treat it like every other man.

Hook his goose, you got to catch his
eye.

That ain't no shaming. Shake him before
baking.

What do you mean?

Honey, you got to be feminine.

There's a definite feminine walk, okay?
Now watch.

Now, that would turn the heads of most
men.

Yeah.

One foot in front of the other.

The girls that turn JJ on walk like
that?

No, they walk like this.

And her gestures.

Watch.

I didn't know there was anything between
us, Miss Wood.

There always is. Your stomach.

got to take care of some business.

I was just noticing that you happen to
be Aquarius.

Oh, you're an Aquarius, too?

Are you kidding?

Well,

you know, my moon is in the seventh
house.

I know what you're talking about. We've
been evicted a couple of times

ourselves.

Are you into ESP?

Well, of course.

Well, then, would you happen to see us
spending the night together?

Well, I have a vision.

It's a moon.

for another one of your lies.

And I... And I just met you upside your
head.

Uh,

goodbye there, Mama. I'll call you
later.

Yeah, my polo injury, my knee.

Hey, string bean, you struck out, huh?

Me? Strike out? What gives you that
impression?

Well, if that... phony smile of yours
was any wider, your ears would be inside

your mouth.

Look, brother, you cannot be phony.

Girls are too hip for that. You got to
be honest.

Honesty is the key.

I mean, you got to be like yourself.

Yeah, honesty, huh?

I guess you're right. Honesty is the
best policy.

J .J. Evans, Robert Redford here.

tell you something you want some women i
mean just stick with me i have not

slept alone in years yeah neither have i
thanks to michael

well in fact the last time i slept alone
i was in this incubator

and the nurses were standing all on the
outside making eyes at me you

see i got this big big problem with
women

just cannot seem to get rid of them.

Oh, yeah?

If you're doing so good with women, what
are you doing in a spot like this?

Alone.

Oh, you see, I just haven't seen what I
wanted yet, you know?

Oh, until now.

Hey,

that is one...

hunk of woman there.

You know, I feel like I already know
her.

Yeah, me too.

No, no, no, no, brother.

That fox is going to be displayed in my
trophy case tonight.

Sugar, sugar, where have you been hiding
yourself?

I didn't know I was hiding.

Well, Not that much.

T .C., I hardly recognize you.

Well, if it isn't little J .J. Evans.

Only by reputation.

He's supposed to be a real lady killer.

Him?

even dirty toothpick.

Wait a minute here. Hold on.

T .C., how about me and you going down
and skipping this place and have a

hamburger?

Can you take this?

The great lover here wants to have a
hamburger.

And I suppose Billy Dee is going to want
a chocolate shake, too.

Yeah, we're too strong.

He probably has to be home at 10 o
'clock.

have a better idea.

I happen to know that there won't be
anyone home at your place tonight, so

don't we just go back there and have
dessert, if you know what I mean.

the average night for the kid.

Close your mouth there, bro. You're
gonna let the flies in.

Well, we're finally alone.

JJ, why don't you fix me a little
something?

Why, is a little something broken?

A drink.

Oh, a drink, yeah, a drink.

Some Kool -Aid, some root beer, some
ginger ale, some ferret bronco.

Forget it, D .J .J.

I did not waste any more time.

Uh,

D .C., uh, you sure you want...

and get the final sports score?

The only scoring I'm interested in is
right here.

TC, you know, you really surprised me. I
always thought of you as just one of

the guys.

Oh? Do I still seem like one of the
guys?

Not any of the guys that I know.

It's really surprising.

I mean, you think you know a guy. I
mean, a woman.

A Ms.

You go to the football game with them.
You go to the basketball game with them.

And then all of a sudden, well.

suspecting a change -up, and I got a
bite of blue fastball.

But, uh, I can't wait to see your curve.

It's so funny.

And so cute.

Well, uh, let me go, uh, take off my
jacket here and get ready for the real

action. Uh, yeah.

JJ, I got to level with you.

This isn't me.

The hair isn't me. The dress isn't me.
This whole night isn't me.

Well, then who are you?

Don't you see, JJ? It's an act.

I did this because I really like you and
I wanted to attract your attention.

You're too nice a guy, JJ, and I feel
guilty about fooling you.

Would you mind fooling me just a little
while longer?

Is that what you really want, J .J.? No,
hold on, T .C.

I'm not sure what I really want, at
least from you.

But I think we should take the time to
find out.

How much time, J .J.? Well, as much time
as we need.

And we can start tomorrow by going to
the dance if you want to.

I'd love to.

That is, if you're sure, it won't spoil
your reputation.

It's really not that much reputation to
spoil.

You mean what they say about you on the
ladies' room wall isn't true?

Not only is it not true, I'm sorry I
ever wrote it.

before a studio audience.
