There's no place like home.

With your family around you, you're
never alone.

When you know that you love, you don't
need to roam.

Cause there's no place like home.

Times are changing every day.

We won't get by with old flame away.

Pulling together, we'll make it round.

With him, my friends, I know we can fly.

No place like home.

With your family around you, you're
never alone.

When you know that you love, you don't
need to roam.

This is real fresh, Brenda.

Yeah, thanks, Mom, so much.

This is really going to help me with my
music class.

Well, a promise is a promise. You kept
your average up, so you got the

Well, if I keep doing well, what do I
get next month? To keep it.

Uh, Calvin, Calvin, sweetheart, if
you're in the same music class, don't

close to Brenda, okay?

on her way to the market. Do you need
anything?

Yeah, she's gonna need some more
peaches.

Hey, when did you get this?

Oh, we got that for Brenda. Oh, it's
nice. Oh, Mela, it's a shame you

buy a whole piano.

It's a keyboard, Grandma.

Oh.

Brenda just loves it. Of course, now,
when I was in high school, I wrote a

once. Musical talent runs in my family.
Oh.

It's called He's So Cool.

Watch out, Ruth.

Let's see now. How does it go?

He's so cool.

He's nobody's fool.

He knows how things should be.

Only 15 when I wrote it.

Only? Mom, when Michael Jackson was 15,
he had two gold records.

And his original nose.

When I was 15, the hips...

trying it out. Yeah, Mary wrote a song.

Really? How nice.

A little something for a funeral?

Uh, Rose, Sandra's ready to leave. Would
you open the window?

Come on now, Mary. I'd love to hear your
song.

Yeah, play it again, Sam.

Okay, Rose, help me out. Okay.

I think that's how it went.

He's so cool.

He's nobody's fool.

He knows how things should be.

Oh, my, when he's squeezing me.

Oh, no, wait a minute, wait a minute,
wait a minute.

You need to jazz that up.

Try it again.

Okay, Barry, I'll take the first part.
Okay. All right.

He's so cool.

He's nobody's fool.

He knows how things should be.

Have a choice.

A great joke or junk mail.

I'll take the junk mail.

Rose, this guy's invited to the White
House to a banquet.

In the middle of lunch, he lets out a
loud burp. A general says, how dare you

burp before the president?

He said, oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know it
was his turn.

these books off at the library, okay?
Okay, honey.

I don't believe it.

Look at this.

Miss Wilson has passed your song on to
us, and we are prepared to offer you $5

,000 for the publishing rights. Please
contact us, Blue Moon Publishing

This must be a joke.

Well, who's this Miss Wilson?

It's Mary Wilson, Mom, from the
Supremes. The Supremes? Yeah, you

told you she came to speak to our music
class, and I gave her your song.

Ooh, baby, you're going to be a
songwriter.

$5 ,000.

Loan me your keyboard, honey.

And, honey, that's just the beginning.

I'm going to write a lot of songs, a
motion picture. I may even write a

Hey, maybe Prince will record your song.

Uh -uh.

I don't think Prince is right for my
song.

And I know he's going to be
disappointed.

Come on, baby. Let's not go overboard.

You got to admit, you did have a little
luck.

Takes a little luck to make a buck. Hey,
that's good. Thanks, honey. Write that

down. All right, but you have to send
that one in yourself.

Takes a little luck to make a buck.
Unless you get stuck, then you need a

Mary, don't drive yourself and everybody
else in this house crazy.

You're driving me crazy.

What did I do? Somebody's already done
that song.

Honey, don't give me things people
already did. I haven't given you

I'll get it. I'll get it. You get it.

You get it.

Hey, Sandra, welcome to Soul Train.

Oh, Mary, I just heard. This is
wonderful. It's like a dream come true.

going to sell millions of records. We're
going to be rich. We're going to be

rich. We're going to be rich. Wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

What is all this we stuff?

Well, I heard all about it. You sold our
song.

Our song?

Don't you mean my song?

It's my song, okay? Uh, Brenda, come on.
Let's go in the kitchen. This is going

to get hot.

Mary, if it weren't for my ooh -bop -a
-doo -bop and my boy, you wouldn't even

have a song.

Oh, come on, Sandra. I mean, I wrote
that song in high school. Now, that had

be at least ten years ago.

At least.

I'm going to the door. Follow me. You're
going through it. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Pearl and I are writing a song, and we
came down for your professional opinion.

Well, don't tell it to her, because
she'll steal it away from you.

Speaking of stealing, do you know this
is for almost $2 ,500?

For ooh -boppa -doo -boppa, my boy. Can
you believe that? Well, to tell you the

truth, Mary, your whole song ain't worth
$50.

Now, Pearl, be kind. You see, Mary, our
song is filled with kindness, joy, love,

and happiness.

And if any one of you try to steal it,
we're going to kill you.

you be so greedy and selfish after all
I've done for you?

What? What have you done for me? I gave
you oop -bop -a -doop -bop -a my boy.

One line.

It's a key line.

Rose, you were there. Tell her. Tell
her. Yeah, Rose, you were there. Tell

Hold it.

Hold it. Hold it.

You'll wake up Congress.

Lester, Mary's being unfair.

I am not.

Honey, she didn't do anything.

That's not true.

Now, can we please settle this? If you
two calm down, we can settle this like

reasonable, rational people.

In order to do that, Sandra would have
to leave the room.

Well, I'm taking my ooh -bop -a -doo
-bop and my boy Whitney. Okay, now,

you first.

Tell me exactly what happened. Okay, I
was over here, Rose was there, Pearl was

there, and I was... Wait, wait, wait,
wait, Ashley.

Pearl was sitting there, you were
standing there, and I was sitting here

the keyboard.

You see, Lester, she's wrong already.

Rose was playing the keyboard, Pearl was
there, I was here.

And I was just getting ready to say...
Wait a minute.

There's something wrong.

What? I was eating a peach.

We don't have any more peaches.

I got some peaches downstairs.

Can we just get on with this? Mary,
hurry up and get to the part where I

and made the song good.

Uh -uh, baby.

Before you came in was when the song was
good.

Now, like I was saying... A neckerine
would be all right.

Pearl, if you'd just be quiet, I would
buy you a whole fruit salad, okay?

Like I was saying, I was singing, he's
so cool, when I came in with the key

line, oop -bop -a -doop -bop -a, my boy.

And ignoring that, I went on.

I was singing, he's so cool, he's
nobody's fool, he knows just how things

be, and oh my, when he's squeezing me.

Did you hear me, sir?

Pearl Rose, is that what happened?

No. Now, I was eating a peach.

That must have been one hell of a piece.

Well, that's pretty much how I remember
it.

Well, Mary, if you use Sandra's line,
then I think she's entitled to

And I was going to give her something
before she opened her big mouth.

What were you going to give me? A free
album.

What?

Oh, Mary, come on.

Okay.

Even though it's my creation,

I am willing to give you 10%. 10 %?!

That's robbery!

If I don't get my 50%, I'm taking back
my ooh -boppa -doo -boppa, my boy. Well,

take your old ooh -boppa -doo -boppa, my
boy.

I will, and I'll see you in court.

Hi, Rose Pearl. Remember, tonight,
dinner's on me.

Dinner? Mary, we're going to tell the
truth. We are honest.

We are also hungry.

Sorry I'm late, babe. I had to pick up
the tape recorder.

The District Court of the District of
Columbia is now in session. Judge

presiding. All stand, please, for his
honor, Judge Eckworth.

case, please?

Sandra Clark versus Mary Jenkins.

Are we ready to proceed?

In a second, Your Honor.

I'm waiting for my lawyer.

Did you hear that? She heard some two
-bit voice. Oh, here he is now.

Now, do you know who that is?

It couldn't be.

It could, and it is, and I'll take my 2
,500 in small bills.

He's the best legal mind in the country.

It's really going to be something to see
him in, actually.

Whose side are you on?

I'm sorry I'm late, but those Yale
graduation ceremonies are eternal.

Oh, I'm just glad you could make it on
such short notice.

Sandra, how did you get him to be your
lawyer?

He's my boyfriend Malcolm's attorney.

Friend of Malcolm's a friend of mine.

Professor. This is Lester and Mary
Jenkins.

Mary's the one trying to beat me out of
my money.

Delighted, Mrs. Jenkins.

How do you do? And I want you to know
that I'm going to take you for every

you've got.

Oh, yeah?

Well, the only way you're going to get
it is to take it because you're

definitely not going to win it. My dear
lady, I have just won 751 cases

consecutively. Then along came Mary.

We can still settle this before the case
gets underway.

Oh, giving up already?

Will the principals please approach the
bench?

Your Honor, I... I know who you are,
Professor.

And may I say I am honored to have you
in my courtroom.

Thank you, sir.

Your Honor, I... And when we're through,
could I get your autograph?

Your Honor, I'm Mary... Please don't
interrupt when I'm speaking with the

Professor. That's not fair, Your Honor.

I'm Mary Jenkins.

Well, Miss Jenkins, in my court, you are
assured your equal rights.

and a fair and just trial.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Now, you can return to your seats and we
can begin.

By the way, Professor.

My son Franklin is in your class.

How's he doing?

I'll tell you when this case is over.

Did you hear that?

She's got the lawyer and the judge.

He's as smooth as silk.

Professor, you don't mind if Mrs.
Jenkins goes first, do you? Not at all.

all. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. He wants me to go first?

And you want me to go first?

Well, I'll have to confer with my
associate.

Think I should go first?

I think you should go home.

Well, okay.

I'll go first.

But he's going second.

Your Honor, you've read my statements.

I would just like to say, when I was a
young girl of 15, I was very, very

sensitive. And one day, I sat down,
poured out my heart, and I wrote

a soul -searching tune. Your Honor, for
the record, the words of that soul

-searching little tune are as follows.

He's a sweet... talking, real, cool cat
that makes my heart go

pitter -pat.

Hardly Socrates.

Well, Socrates hardly got $5 ,000.

You tell him, Merrick.

That's one for you, babe. Although that
was pretty good, wouldn't you say,

Professor? What did you say your son's
first name was?

May we continue?

Well, actually, that's all I have to
say, Your Honor.

Except I have two witnesses, Mrs. Shea
and Mrs.

Holloway, who will be happy to
corroborate my statement.

Do you have any more questions for this
witness?

No, Your Honor.

Mrs. Jenkins, you're excused. Thank you.

Your Honor, I think we can straighten
this whole matter out by putting my

on the stand.

Mr. Clark?

We get asked to go up there.

Because we don't walk like that.

Now, would

you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Why does this case mean so very much to
you?

You see, Your Honor, I was raised on a
little farm in Butte, Montana.

I object, Your Honor. She was raised in
the East.

Oh, all right. It was East Butte,
Montana.

And one day, after doing all my chores,
milk the cow, feed the chickens, plow

the field, do the laundry, I had a lot
of chores.

Pop was working in the coal mine.

I object.

He objected, too. And Mama was in a
wheelchair. Your mother

was in a wheelchair?

puppy spot picking picking flowers for
my mother when suddenly

a bull started to charge me and her bull
is still running

As you see, this is not a sordid matter
of money. This is a matter of the memory

of her dear departed, much lamented,
little canine,

Spot.

Why don't I just buy her another spot?

Why don't you give me my $2 ,500 and
I'll do it myself?

Oh, my dead body, I'm not giving you...

Why don't you listen to my client's
song?

You mean your client's line?

Is there a recording available?

Uh, no, Your Honor, but I can sing a
little bit for you.

All right.

Okay. Now, this is Mary's part.

was entirely unnecessary to the song. I
respectfully disagree.

Without the ooba -ba -dooba, my boy,
that song is nothing.

Now, the ooba -ba -dooba of my boy was
catchy.

You know, this is not working. I suggest
we throw ourselves on the mercy of the

court. Oh, no.

Not over until it's over.

Your Honor, I would now like to do my
version of the tune without Miss Clark's

minor contribution.

Go ahead, Mrs. Jenkins.

But first, Your Honor, I would like to
call someone in to help me.

Who? Rose and Pearl?

Might as well write that check out now.

I thought you'd pull something like
this. Well, ooh -bah -ba -doo -bah,

You all ready, Mary?

of the Supremes.

Oh, no, no, no. I used to be with the
Supremes until, well, read about it in

new paperback book.

Oh, it's not fair. You can't bring in a
professional.

I can and I did.

Come on, Mary.

Let's show the judge.

Honey.

Kitty girl.

He's no cool.

He's nobody.

Choo -choo.

and Miss Clark approach the bench,
please.

Now, ladies, let's stop the foolishness.

Obviously, Mrs. Jenkins wrote this song.

I won!

I won!

And obviously, Miss Clark helped it.

Can't you two ladies put your
differences behind you?

What you've created came out of
teamwork.

Now, why don't you work with instead of
against each other?

Because Mary thinks I'm no help.

I never said you didn't help a little
bit.

Thank you, Mary.

But not 50 % worth.

Okay, that was a little bit overboard.

How about 25 %? How about 15 %?

My recommendation, Your Honor, is 20%.
All right.

It's a deal.

Then it's settled.

I must admit this has been a very
entertaining case.

Of course, I haven't heard the song in
its entirety.

No problem, Your Honor.

Honey.

He's so cool.

He's nobody.
