All language subtitles for 227 s02e20 Rich Kid

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 those same old
ways. No, no. Pulling together, we'll

it right.

With help from our friends, I know we
can fly. But there's no place like home.

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

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

Cause there ain't no place like. Better
believe it. There ain't no place like.

Better.

There's no place like home.

I mean, no place, child.

Hey, friend, what took you so long?

Some of us have to walk home. Where were
you? I would have driven you home.

Where would I sit in the glove
compartment?

We would have squeezed you in. Or I
would have thrown him out.

This sure is a beautiful car, Ron.

Thanks. Yeah, he's about due for a new
one.

This one's almost out of gas.

Oh, look at that car.

Calvin, what are you doing in this car?

My friend Ron drove me home. Ron, this
is my grandmother and Mrs. Jenkins.

Pleasure. Hi. Now I know where Brenda
gets her good looks.

Well, thank you.

Hey, Pearl.

Did you hear that?

No, I'm checking out this car.

Sure is spiffy.

It's got a modular sound system, compact
disc, cellular phone, rack opinion

steering, and mag rim.

What did he say?

He said it's perfect.

Hey.

Notice anything different about me? You
got new tennis shoes.

Calvin, you didn't spend none of your
college money, did you?

Grandma, all we got in my college fund
is $16.

Well, I never said you was going to
Harvard.

Ron bought them. They're $6 .99.

Those are good for $6 .99.

$6 .99 is the model number. They cost
$75.

$75?

Child, for $75, you could have got two
speedboats for your feet.

Honey, why did you want to give him some
$75 tennis shoes?

I wanted to.

Calvin is my buddy.

Yeah, but that's a lot of money.

Oh, don't worry, Mrs. Jenkins. I can
afford it.

Ron's got Uncle Roland in the door. Show
him the watch.

He's got everything.

Stopwatch, Split Time, Greenwich Time,
Luna Fade.

What did he say?

He said it's piffy.

I just like doing nice things for my
friends.

And do you also have some reindeer and a
place at the North Pole?

I just called you Santa Claus.

By the way, Brenda, I'm taking Calvin to
the Stevie Wonder concert if you'd like

to go with.

Stevie Wonder? I'm dying to see him.
Mom?

Brenda, we'll talk about it later, okay?
Don't you have some homework?

Oh, Mom.

Well, let me know.

Hey, Ron, how about some ice cream? I'm
buying. Sure, why not?

Nice meeting you.

You know, Pearl, I don't know if I'd let
Calvin keep those shoes.

It's too late now.

After they've been on those feet, ain't
nobody gonna take them back.

Afternoon, ladies.

Hello, Sandra.

Oh, what a cute... car.

Well, it's got all the accessories.

Well, the only accessory it needs is an
owner who's single and available.

Oh, he's single and available.

Ooh!

He's also about 17.

Ooh!

Anyone under 21, I throw back.

Well, you're on your way now, honey. Oh,
I have a date with a new man in my

life, Jeffrey.

I'm meeting him at the country club.
We're gonna play tennis.

Not dressed for tennis.

Oh, good!

You know this.

I hope he will.

He's in all kind of sports. Took me
bowling last night. I threw the first

in the street.

You mean in the gutter? No, out in the
street. My ball ended up on Pennsylvania

Avenue.

He wants to teach me golf, racquetball,
all that stuff.

Well, what's wrong with that?

The side effects.

What side effects?

Muscles.

I hate muscles. I had a muscle once. I
stayed in bed for a week till it went

away.

You know, he's wonderful, but if I could
just... get him into some healthier

things. Like what?

French restaurants, nightclubs,
department stores, you know.

Uh -huh.

Well, I better be going.

You sure he's only 17?

Uh -huh.

Early 17 or late 17?

Never mind.

Mom, have you thought about Stevie
Wonder yet?

Stevie Wonder? I'm still thinking about
Nat King Cole.

Come on, Mom. You know what I'm talking
about.

Brenda, you are too young to date.

This isn't a date. A date is one boy and
one girl. This is two boys.

If it was two boys and two girls, it
would be a double date. But it's two

and one girl. So it's not a double date
or a date. It doesn't even have a name.

Are you saying that two boys are safer
than one?

Yes. Then you are definitely not ready
to date.

Mom, do you know how hard it is to get
tickets? I don't care, Brenda.

You barely know the boy.

Hey, hey. Can I appeal to a higher
court?

Go ahead.

Daddy. Did your mother say no?

Yes. Then the answer is no.

Some higher court.

Now that I've rendered my decision, is
this something I want to know about?

Daddy, I have a chance to go to the
Stevie Wonder concert with Calvin and

Who's Ron?

Calvin's friend. He's nice and everybody
likes him, Daddy.

They sure?

The way he throws money around.

Ron has money?

Hey, baby, we might reconsider this.

Our daughter isn't getting any younger.

Actually, it's his uncle's money. Ron
just spends it for him.

He's a nice enough boy, but I don't like
the way he tries to buy friends. Oh.

Well, that's not fair. You ought to get
to know him first. How about inviting

him to dinner some night?

Well, maybe we'll do that some night.

How about tonight?

Tonight? Daddy, Mom hasn't said no yet.

What's the big rush?

You gotta like him before the concert.

Well... Daddy, please.

All right, all right.

Thanks, Daddy. I'll go tell him.

So I gave in. It'll pay off on Father's
Day.

The coach had the football team
practicing until dark, and Ron bought 20

for them. They made him captain of the
team.

Couple more practices like that, and
they're going to have to change the name

the team from the Bobcats to the Hippos.

Oh, that reminds me, Mrs. Jenkins.

The hippos remind you of me?

No, I just want to thank you for your
hospitality. And to show my

I ordered you a gift. It's just a cake
plate.

Oh, you shouldn't have done that.

That's the way Ron is.

Speaking of Stevie Wonder... Uh, were
you speaking of Stevie Wonder?

No, were you speaking of Stevie Wonder?

Who was speaking of Stevie Wonder?

Okay, I was.

Would you like to hear his latest album?

Yeah. Okay, I'll get it.

Uh, Ron, now that Brenda's gone, there's
something I'd like to ask you.

Yes, Mrs. Jenkins.

Um, I know we don't know you very well.
Hey, that's okay.

I understand.

You do?

Yeah, sure. This happens to me a lot.

How much do you need?

Fifty? A hundred?

Put that money back in your pocket. I
take care of this family.

Hey, I was just trying to... Buy
friendship?

I wasn't trying to buy your friendship.

Well, that's the way it comes off.

And you don't need to do that.

Now look, you're a nice young man, and
people will like you for yourself if you

just let them.

Yes, ma 'am.

I couldn't find my album.

I must have left it at Tiffany's. I bet
she's gotten peanut butter all over it.

I can get another one at the concert, if
I go.

That's what's wrong with me.

Mary, she can hardly move.

I had to help her up the stairs.

That Jeffrey insisted I play.

Every bone hurts, every muscle hurts. My
fingernails hurt, and you know they're

not even mine.

Mary, do you have any liniment?

I'll see what I have.

But nothing that smells like a locker
room or a hospital.

I'm sorry, but Gucci doesn't make
liniment.

You'll be okay, Sergeant. You just used
some muscles you never used before.

And I'm never going to use them again,
either.

I'll put them in storage.

The worst thing was the ball kept
hitting me in the eye.

Well, how did that happen?

Serving. Every time I threw the ball up,
I swung, I missed, and the ball hit me

in the eye.

That sounds painful.

Who's this?

Miss Clark, this is Ron. Ron, this is my
Aunt Rose. Hi. How do you do?

Hi.

My teeth hurt.

I didn't have any liniment, but you're
welcome to use this heating pad. Oh,

thank you. Oh, Rose, would you help me
up to my apartment, please? Oh, of

I will.

Come on. I guess this is the last time
you'll be seeing that Jeffrey.

Are you kidding? He owns a yacht. He's
taking me to his club tomorrow.

What club?

Well, we're going to the ocean. Must be
one of those fancy beach clubs.

It's called the Polar Bear Club.

Isn't that the club where the folks jump
in the freezer and walk? Yeah, I didn't

have the heart to tell her.

Well, I better be going. I have homework
and I hate getting behind.

Would you say that again, please?

Louder. Please.

Good night, Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins. Night,
Ron. Good night. I'm going to walk them

to the door, okay, Ma?

Okay.

I hope I see you in school tomorrow.

I do, too.

Thanks for inviting me to dinner.

Oh, this is for you.

Oh, I couldn't. My parents would have a
fit.

Then just wear it for me.

Inside, next to your heart.

Good night.

Good night.

Is that Ron?

Yeah, and look what he gave me. Oh, it's
beautiful.

Ma, I don't think I should wear it yet.
Well, can I wear it? No.

I don't want my mom to know about this
until I have a chance to talk to her. So

don't say anything, okay?

Hey, I won't say anything.

Not even if they torture me. Please let
me wear it for a minute, Brenda, please.

Okay, okay.

This was made for me.

Brenda? Oh, hi, Tiff. Hi, Mrs. Jenkins.

Where did you get that?

Hey, I didn't do anything. See, Ron gave
it to Brenda, and I was just trying it

on.

They really had to torture you for a
long time, Tiff.

I'm sorry I break under pressure.

I told him I didn't want to take it. But
you took it.

I don't know what's wrong with that boy.
I just got through talking to him about

buying friendship.

You know, there's something not right
about this whole thing.

Sorry I'm late, man. I had to help my
grandmother with the laundry.

You ready?

Well, my man, actually... Hey, you
better be ready, man, because I'm taking

to the hoop.

I can't, Calvin. Something came up.

I just dropped by to ask a favor.

Hey, sure, anything for you.

But you need me to drive your car around
for a few days? Nah, man, actually,

yeah. Uh -huh, I know.

There's this fine chick at school that
won't take no for an answer, and you

me to take off your hand. Not quite.
Hey, we came to the right man, because

Calvin's my name and heartbreak's my
gang.

Hey, man, forget the choice.

How would you like to make a quick 50?

50 bucks? Yeah, what do I have to do?
See, I was supposed to meet a guy here,

but I have to run some errands for my
uncle. So all you have to do is meet

guy and give him this.

All I have to do is give him this and I
get 50 bucks? Yeah. His name is Tony,

tall and skinny, about 19.

He'll be looking for you. What's in it?

Hey, man, what are you worried about?

It's no big thing.

50 bucks just for doing that?

Sound like a Miami Vice drug dealer.
Hey, man, get serious.

I mean, do you want the 50 or don't you?

Sure, man. Well, then don't sweat it,
though, man.

Hey,

you're doing this for me.

We'll get on the court tomorrow, okay?
All right.

Later.

Sure.

Mary. Get in here, Calvin.

Grandma. Don't grandma me.

What's the matter, Pearl?

We have a little problem about where
Calvin's going to spend the next few

Oh, is that all? There's lots of good
colleges around.

Yeah, and there's also Joliet, Sing
Sing, and San Quentin.

What are you talking about?

Turn your head, Calvin.

Look at this.

What is it? A thousand dollars, that's
what.

Lord, where'd it come from?

Tell her, Calvin.

Well... It came from some kid named
Tony.

Tell her what he gave you the money for.

Well... For handing a package to him for
his friend, Ron.

Tell her how much he gave you to do
that.

Well, he... Fifty bucks.

For standing on the corner like a dummy
and handing a package to another dummy.

Now don't you feel better since you got
that off your chest?

Of course you do.

Drugs. That's what it was.

Grandma, we don't know that for sure.

What did you think was in that little
thousand dollar package?

A Twinkie?

Are you telling me that Ron is selling
drugs?

He sure is.

Calvin, you were helping him? No, I was
just doing him a favor. I didn't know

what was in the package.

You mean you didn't want to know what
was in the package?

But when I saw the money, I brought it
right to you, didn't I? Well, that's the

only smart thing you've done today.

I guess I just didn't want to believe
the wrong with Dylan.

Well, that certainly explains all that
money.

Well, what do we do now?

Well, the first thing we ought to do is
make sure his folks know about this.

What about the money?

Turn your head and put in a safe place.

Nobody ever looks in there anymore.

I'm Mrs. Jenkins. Miss Davis? Yes.

Come in, please. Have a seat.

Thank you.

You say this has something to do with my
son?

Yes. Is your daughter pregnant?

No. Good.

Look, I'm not here about my daughter.

I came to talk about your son.

What about my son?

Well, for starters, he's giving out
expensive gifts.

I can't allow my daughter to keep this.

Do you have a rich uncle in your family?

Rich uncle?

Oh, sure.

And I just clean other people's houses
for the fun of it.

Then I don't know how to tell you this,
but... Well, I think Ron is dealing

drugs.

Woman, are you crazy? My son isn't
selling drugs. I raise all my children

I know it's hard to believe. And I don't
believe it. Not Ronald.

Then how do you explain all this money
he's throwing around?

He's got a job. Honey, he would have to
have seven jobs to pay for that

expensive car he's driving.

Oh, shoot.

Is that what this is all about?

That car belongs to his friend Calvin.

He's just keeping it while Calvin's
traveling in Europe.

Calvin in Europe?

Honey, the furthest Calvin has ever been
is Baltimore, and that's because he

fell asleep on the bus.

Now you're calling my son a liar. Now,
wait.

I don't want to fight with you.

I'm a mother, too, and it's obvious to
me that you don't know what's going on.

No, you don't know what's going on.

There's a drug meeting at the old church
on Youth Street tonight, and we're all

going.

I think you should be there.

And I think that you should mind your
own business.

When your son starts selling drugs in
front of my building and using our kids

do it, it is my business.

You rich ladies think you have the right
to just button anybody's business.

Rich ladies?

Look at you. You're either rich or going
to a funeral.

But if I'm going to a funeral, maybe
it's yours because you sure are burying

your head.

Well, I can't believe it. That nice
boy...

Standing out in front of our building
selling drugs?

But Ron's cool. It's got to be a
mistake.

It's not a mistake, Tiffany. Ask Calvin.

Mom, you can't be sure.

Calvin never even looked in the package.

For which he got $1 ,000?

Grow up, Brenda.

I still think you shouldn't have called
the police.

I mean, you don't have proof.

Calvin's wrong half the time. And
confused the other half.

Tiffany, this is serious. And you are
being very flip about it. You too,

Mom, everybody knows about drug dealers.

They're all over the school.

Yeah, well, I better not ever catch you
near one.

Mom, you know me better than that. They
have their group and we have ours. Yeah,

this is Kidma Algebra class. Everybody
knows he deals.

He's kind of cute, too.

Tiffany!

We don't have anything to do with them.
I mean, they just do their thing and we

just... Look the other way.

Mom, what do you want us to do? We can't
go around telling on them. I mean, you

just don't do that.

Brenda, we're not talking about little
kids and tattling.

We're talking about responsibility and
life and death.

Sandra!

What happened?

Mary!

Why did you tell me the polar bear club
was where people jump into the ocean

when it's a thousand degrees below zero?
They're crazy!

Then you should have felt right at home.

It's not funny, Mary.

I came that close to being a popsicle.

I sprained my ankle.

You sprained your ankle jumping into the
ocean?

No, afterwards, when he took me
skydiving.

You jumped out of a plane?

Are you serious?

He took me at 5 ,000 feet, went to the
door with his parachute and said, follow

me. I said, follow this.

Where did you come by for?

I was wondering, can I... Can I keep
your heating pad a little while longer?

know the minute I defrost, my ankle's
gonna start killing me. Oh, sure, go

ahead. Oh, thank you.

Well, I gotta go now. I gotta return
these crutches to the nice man I

them from.

Well, Sergeant, how far do you have to
go?

Across the street. He's leaning against
the tree.

Hey, Calvin.

How's it going?

All right.

Hey, uh, did you open that package?

No.

Good.

Anyway, where's the envelope Tony gave
you?

I don't have it.

What?

Mrs. Jenkins gave it to the police.

That's why the police are checking my
place?

You better come up with my money, man,
because you owe me.

And look, man, I don't owe you nothing.

You left me hauling your drugs. I could
have been busted.

I thought you were my friend. Hey,
forget you, man. I don't have friends.

I have customers.

And you were just another sucker I used,
and all it cost me was some chunk

change and a pair of sneakers.

Here's your sneakers.

Now, why don't you just sneak your butt
on out of here? Hey, man, no sweat.

See, I got a deal cooking tonight that's
gonna make me so much money, I'll be on

a yacht in the Bahamas.

You ain't nothing, man.

If I ever get you around this building
or Brenda again, you just get ready to

throw down, chump.

My name is Alice, and

I'm an addict.

I used to steal from my parents for just
one more hit off that pipe.

I broke up our home, destroyed their
marriage.

I mean, I lost everything.

I joined the program about a year ago.

If I hadn't, I wouldn't be alive today.

We're glad you are. Here, here.

Well, I guess you can tell there's a war
going on here.

And if we're going to win it, we have to
start with the kids.

I'm listening.

I'm listening too.

We're not just talking about listening.

We're talking about doing something.

We know.

You know, this is a terrible thing to
say, but nowadays we have to be careful

who our friends are.

One thing is to not pick your friends by
the kind of car they drive.

Or to go ape when they buy you tennis
shoes.

Sit down.

How about accepting a gold chain from a
guy you hardly know?

Or being a dope, delivering dope for a
dope.

Okay, Grandma, I made a mistake.

Didn't you ever make mistakes? No.

Oh, well, if I did, I'm too old to
remember.

Sorry I was late. I went to the wrong
church. They had a wedding, so I stayed

for the cake.

Listen, everybody.

What we need to do is put the spotlight
on these pushers.

That's right.

You know, either they don't know or they
don't care what they're doing to

people. And it's getting so, I'm getting
afraid to send Tiffany to school.

I'm not afraid of them.

Well, I am.

I'll tell you another thing.

Drugs and men don't mix.

I just say no.

To men or drugs?

To drugs.

I try saying no to men, but I can't kick
that habit.

Well, if I catch any of those pushers
around our place, it's over for them.

Well, I got a baseball bat that would
give them a downer they will never

The sad truth is, if it weren't for
customers, there would be no pushers.

right. Now, how do we get the public to
believe how bad this is?

I believe it.

I just found out that my son, Ronald,
was dealing drugs.

That mess was in my house.

I just refused to see it.

He even had my 10 -year -old delivering
for him.

And near as the police can tell, my son,
Ronald, was...

Dealing with a junkie tonight who
probably didn't have enough money, so

figure he just took the drug.

After he stabbed my son to death.

I got three other kids at home I have to
worry about.

And I don't know what to do.
