All language subtitles for Good Times s06e23 The Evans Dilemma

Good times, any time you need a payment.
Good times, any time you need a free.

Good times, any time you're out and
under.

Not getting hassled, not getting
hustled. Keeping your head up for water.

Making a way when you can.

Temporary.

Pancakes are good.

Girl, you sure you made them?

Sure. Mmm.

Yeah, Thelma, these pancakes are really
good. Next time, try to remember what

you did wrong.

I just had more time to practice since
Mom's been away visiting.

Boy, before when you used to make
pancakes, they were so bad, Aunt Jemima

blindfold on them.

JJ1, Thelma, 11 to 7.

And besides, Keith loves pancakes. Maybe
this will cheer him up.

Yeah, Thelma, you know your husband's
been pretty down lately.

As a matter of fact, last night he went
to sleep on the Miss Black Universe

pageant. That's not down, that's
deceased.

Come on, now, try to understand, Keith.
He's been working hard lately.

I mean, driving that cab part -time and
then spending his days off job hunting

with you, Mr. Hardcore Unemployment of
the Year.

Hey, brother -in -law, why don't you cop
a squat, man? The food is edible for a

change. Bad.

Don't feed him pancakes. Throw him raw
meat.

I'm not hungry.

Oh, come on, Keith. You have to eat
something.

Oh,

later?

Okay, you're going to eat later, right?

He's going to eat later.

Well,

Thelma, that's enough pancakes for me.
I'm full.

Tell you, them pancakes go right to my
hips.

And then they evaporate.

Well, hey, Keith, I feel lucky today.

Boy, the first stop we're going to make
to is that little accounting agency. You

know, where they have that foxy little
personnel director with no liabilities

and plenty of assets.

I can feel it. Keith, I feel lucky. I
had a dream last night that she hired

of us. Boy, I know something's gonna
happen today. I can't wait to hit them

streets. I'm not going.

Say what?

Try and read my lips, totem pole. I said
I'm not going.

Oh, Keith, why not?

Yeah, man, it's better than sitting
around here all day. Look, every day off

the past three weeks, I've been out
looking for a job, right?

And all I got to show for it are tired
feet, scuffed shoes, and enough uncut

jive to sell it wholesale.

You know, Keith, I know it's tough, man,
but they say the unemployment rate in

the ghetto is over 50%. Yeah, and the
other 50 % are out looking for work.

The answer is through education.

Speaking of that, I better hurry up
before I'm late. Later, y 'all.

Might as well be late. You ain't gonna
find no job when you graduate anyway.

Well, maybe not, but at least I know how
to read the one ads, brother.

I don't know what you're feeling so down
about. At least you did get one job

offer. Oh, Keith, you got a job offer?
JJ, I told you not to bring that up.

Man, I swear, if your mouth was any
bigger, you'd swallow your own head.

Come on, Keith, tell me about it. All
right.

They wanted me to go door -to -door
selling Howard Cosell piggy banks.

What? That's right, Howard Cosell piggy
banks.

Oh, and when you put the money in his
mouth, he starts talking, right?

No, you put money in his mouth to make
him shut up.

J .J., if you want to keep on going out
there, you go on ahead.

But I've got too much pride to keep on
spending my time listening to a bunch of

garbage from all those people.

Too much pride.

Keith, where are you going?

I'm going to the bathroom. There are
some things I'm still pretty good at,

know.

Keith. I mean, he used to be so level
-headed, so cool, so suave.

And all of a sudden, he lost it. You
know, with a little more training, he

have been another me.

Hi, y 'all. Hey, Wilona.

Velma, here's the blueberry muffins I
made for Keith. Honey, there's only one

thing on Earth sweeter and more tender
than these little darlings.

What's that, Wilona? I don't know. I
ain't met him yet.

Blueberry muffins for Keith, huh? Mm
-hmm.

I'll tell you, boy, the only thing he's
been sinking his teeth into around here

has been us.

Wait a minute, honey. You must be
jiving. After all the work I went

staying up all night long, starting from
scratch, you going to tell me he's...

Yeah, y 'all.

Well, no, no.

Oh, wee. It's a wonder you ain't in
jail, because you certainly are dressed

kill this morning.

Sinking his teeth into you, huh?

No, no, no, no. Don't tell me. Don't
tell me. No, it can't be. Not my

Not those delicious blueberry muffins.

Uh -huh. Yay!

Lord have mercy. Good looking and good
cooking.

Now, what you trying to do? Throw Betty
Crocker out on her buns?

Mm. Either he's got a twin in that
bathroom, or we're in the Twilight Zone.

Yeah, yeah. These will be great degrees
on while me and JJ go job hunting.

Job hunting? But you said that we were
going to not. Come on, man. There's a

whole new world out there for us. What
the?

And one day, Scarlet, all this will be
yours.

Tara, the plantation, the river, the
dam.

No, wait.

Frankly, Scarlet, I won't give a damn.

Oh, oh, yes, he is. One minute. Keith?

Hey, I told Donna Summer not to call me
here.

Hello?

Malona, if you had been here ten minutes
ago, you'd have seen that Keith had all

the charm of a shark with root canal
work.

Could you all excuse me a minute? This
is kind of private.

Oh, come outside and tell me what's
going on.

Well, I'll go start the dishes.

Hello, Joe.

Hey, what's happening, man?

When did you get in?

Oh, me? I can't complain.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, man.

Just give me a couple more months. My
leg will be better.

I'll be out there again.

Hey, look, why don't you give me your
phone number, ma 'am?

Uh -huh.

Oh, Keith, why don't you invite him? No,
no, no, I got to go. See you later,

Joe. Got to split.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, that's all right, babe. That was Joe
Stanton, an old college teammate of

mine. He's going to be in town for a
couple of days. I told him I'd drop by

got the chance.

Oh, you must really like him. He sure
cheered you up. You kidding?

Me and Joe, we were so tight in college,
if he got dandruff, I had to shampoo.

Playing for the Miami Dolphins.

Signed up for a second year.

I gotta go, babe.

Bye -bye. Bye.

Bye -bye.

Greetings,

unemployment fans.

Hey, where's Keith?

He'll be up in a minute. He's downstairs
arguing with Bookman.

Bookman? What did Bookman do this time?

Nothing, but he's not doing it the way
Keith wants him to.

Say, as far as Keith's concerned, old
Fang Face is back.

Bad day, huh?

Well, let me put it to you this way.
It's the kind of day Donnie would punch

Marie.

I don't know. That Keith is something.

It's those crazy, unpredictable moods of
his. It's like pounding the pavement

with the Incredible Hulk.

Hey, that's not fair, now. You're making
it sound like Keith has an emotional

problem.

and I'm going to prove it to you.

Hello, sweetheart.

I have a surprise for you. Who cares?

Like putty in your hand.

Hey, brother -in -law, what's wrong,
man? The employers turn you down?

Yeah, white employers, black employers,
Chicano employers, Eskimo employers.

I'm an equal opportunity reject.

And you know, Keith, you just can't go
around threatening personnel directors.

I didn't threaten nobody.

Oh, yeah? What do you call putting a
man's tie in an electric pencil

Man, then you had it all the way up to
the knot till I stopped you.

Uh, Keaton, I want you to sit down over
here and relax yourself, and let me tell

you about this problem, okay? Are you
pregnant?

No. Then I don't want to hear about it.

Well, it's about your friend Joe
Stennett. I invited him for dinner

Here? Yeah. You invited Joe here without
asking me? Are you crazy?

I don't care what you thought. If I
wanted him over here, I'd have asked him

here myself.

Now call him and cancel.

Oh, Keith, come on now. I already cooked
dinner.

Then warn him and he'll call and cancel.

Keith, he'll be here in a few minutes,
Tina.

Damn it, Thelma, you had no right
butting into my business like that.

Oh, Keith. Get out of my way.

I guess I showed him.

Okay, where is he, huh? Where is he?

Hey there, Bookman. Don't Bookman me.
Look, Thelma, I got a bone to pick with

your husband.

Well, if you're involved, that's the
only thing that's left.

Am I laughing?

Is there joy on this sensitive face?

No. And you want to know why?

Because all I did was ask that nut who
he likes in the Super Bowl. You know

he said?

She won't be able to fit in the Super
Bowl.

Bookman, look here. Let me explain.

Let me explain.

See, Keith has gone cuckoo.

See, what happened is that Keith's been
under a lot of tension and strain

lately, you understand?

Yo -Yo City, Bookman. Yo -Yo City.

So on behalf of the family and everybody
involved, We wish our sincere

apologies. And we will talk to Keith
about this and promise you that this

never happen again.

And my apologies also to your big fat
mama.

Hey!

T .T., I heard what you said. And I
didn't like it one bit.

Keith is not a nut.

Oh, yeah? Well, if he's a tree, I
wouldn't want to stand under him.

I think he's thick.

Physically, that is.

You can call me Ray, and you can call me
Dave.

Michael, the only time he seems to be
happy is when he comes out of that

bathroom.

And I got a hunch on where he's getting
his medicine.

Michael, let's check in here while Keith
is changing his clothes.

JJ, I don't even know what we're looking
for, man.

Anything happy, Michael. Anything happy.

Now, what kind of clue is that?

Michael, right now, that's the best clue
that I got.

Don't just stand there. Are you going to
help me? I'm helping.

Boy, let's just pray that I'm wrong this
time.

But any man that can get happy that fast
can't be doing it alone.

Wait a minute, JJ. How do we know that
Keith is doing...

Wait a minute. Now, who be stupid enough
to hide?

Yeah.

Either this is Keith's joy juice or the
tidy bowl man has a new boat.

Vodka? Yes, vodka.

The Russian revenge.

No wonder Keith's been acting crazy
lately, man. He done killed this bottle,

too. Yeah.

No wonder he thinks he's a king.

His throne is 90 proof.

And then the coach held up this size 40
double D cup bra and said, what you call

this, Janet?

Dolly Parton knee pads?

And speaking of holidays, did you know
this is National Take a Limit at Lunch

Week?

Oh, that's right.

So let's get rid of these booze and
let's break out the lemonade. The

This good 20 -year -old scotch go to
waste.

Come on. Joe brought this by to help
keep things lively, didn't you, Joe?

on, Keefe.

Yo, man.

Remember that, Keefe?

Yeah, yeah. Hold on a second. Who used
to call me that? It was... That girl.

That girl, right. What was her name?

Annette. Annette!

until you've seen Annette, ugliest girl
on campus.

That's the bottom.

Scotch.

Thelma, that girl was so ugly, we were
going to make her the team mascot and

change the name of the team to the
orangutan.

half a year now.

Don't we, Joe?

Helps keep things lively, huh?

Keith, a little toast first. A little
toast. All right. I'll drink to that.

All right.

Here's to Keith and Thelma. And may they
always have happiness and health. Amen.

And may prosperity be just down the
road. All right.

And may they always have the respect of
their friends and relatives.

brick road to their future.

We're all little lambs that have lost
our way.

Bah, ha, bah, ha, bah.

We're all little lambs that have lost
enough, enough, enough.

And as Jackie Gleeson would say,

I think you've had enough. Hey, hey,
hey. Come on now. Enough.

Well, excuse me. I didn't know my daddy
played for the Dolphins.

Let go of the bottle, Keith.

I smell dessert.

Is there anything else I can do for you,
brother?

Like wash your car?

Shine your shoes?

You know, we poor folk, we supposed to
be able to do that pretty good, you

Keith, please.

No, no, Thelma, it's cool.

Stennett, you ain't fooling nobody.

The only reason you came by here tonight
was the hope of seeing me on crutches.

Oh, wow, man, you have it all. Yeah, you
just switched it with last year, so

then you would have been the one up for
the Heisman Trophy, right?

Right? You were jealous of me then, and
you're still jealous, you jive sucker.

Look.

Get it.

I think I better go.

No, Joe, don't go nowhere, man. We still
got stories to tell, man.

Like how about that Ohio State game?

Look, man, I don't know what you're
talking about. Yeah, I didn't think you

would, so let me fresh your memory.

J .J., get out there.

Oh, Keith, I thought I was staying here.
I said get out there.

Keith, you're embarrassing everybody.

Would you shut up?

Now, it was our ball, third down.

in Long Yardage. It was me over here and
Joe was over here.

Now hike the ball, J .J.

What ball?

Hike the ball!

Please stop it. Would you let me finish?

You're drunk!

I said shut up!

J .J., I swear, man.

Oh, man.

Hey,

Michael. I don't want to hear it.

Yeah, you better have a good excuse for
this one, Keith.

Otherwise, I'm going to put you in every
shot glass across Chicago.

Hey, hey, everybody.

Hey, I'm sorry.

Hey, Joe, man.

Oh, who are you going to tell, man?

Me?

or your wife.

Tell me, would it help at least if I
said I'm sorry?

Come on, babe, I know you're upset, but
running away won't solve anything.

You sure got that right.

Because I live here.

These things are yours.

I should have known that.

Can't we at least talk about it, babe?

Talk? Talk about what?

Just who the hell do you think you are?

Do I look like a punching bag to you?

Now I understand.

No, you don't understand, babe.

Do you know what it's like to be one of
the best running backs in the world and

have your leg and your life snap out
from under you and end up driving cab

-time? Babe, you can't begin to
understand.

And this understands, right?

A bottle of fermented potatoes
understand.

Don't you know I love you?

I'm only 24 years old.

Since when has life ended 24?

You want to play...

We're going to start all over again,
right?

Right.

Everything even between us?

Right.

Then I owe you something.
