There's no place like home.

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

With your love 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.

Pulled together, we'll make it right.

With help from our friends, I... No, we
can fly.

No place like home.

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

With so much love, you don't need to
roam. Cause there ain't no...

Come over here, girl.

Turn around.

Aren't you a pretty thing?

Turn around and let me look at you. Mom,
you're making her blush.

Don't tell me you're still shy.

He's just like your father. Come on, sit
down.

Well, now, he couldn't have been too
shy. Our daughter wouldn't be here.

You know, before your family moved to
Ohio, I saved your father's life.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

It was a choppy day on the Potomac. And
you and Fred were in a little rowboat

and a big boat.

causing a big wave, and Brent fell in.

He jumped in, and despite his kicking
and screaming, pulled him to shore,

his life.

So you have heard the story?

Many times, except in Daddy's version,
he saved your life.

So, Dinah, what is it like being away
from home?

Oh, Brent, I'm so nervous. I mean, it's
such a big city. I don't know anybody

here. Oh, don't you worry about a thing.
You'll make lots of friends in no time.

Not me. When I was a little kid, it took
me three years just to wave back to Mr.

Rogers.

Well, now, I want you to consider this
home, and you're with your family now.

just get in that kitchen and wash those
dishes.

Donna, I'm just kidding.

I'm really glad to hear that.

Oh, should I get the door? Donna!

My goodness.

Oh, hi, Mary. Hi, Brooke. Come on in.

Thank you.

Oh, Pearl Shea, I want you to meet Donna
Dalton.

She's going to be staying with us for a
few days. Oh. Just until I move into the

dorms at Howard University. Well, let's
show Donna to her room. Oh, great.

Excuse us, Pearl. All right.

I hope you're going to be comfortable
here, Donna.

And I'm getting out of here before they
lay a cup of eggs.

What? Mary, this woman has got me at the
end of my rope.

It should be around your neck, you.
What? Did you hear that?

Yes. Everybody in Washington heard it.

George Washington heard it.

Mary, Sandra is three months late with
her rent. Now, you know I am a very

understanding person. Huh.

But I told her she didn't have that rent
money by the end of the week. She was

out of here.

All the favors I've done for her.

Favors? What favors?

What about last week? You were feeling
kind of low.

You spent all that money on a new dress
and you didn't know if it was

attractive. You came to me for help. I
looked you straight in the eye and said

it was gorgeous.

I lied, Rose.

Well, I can lie, too.

Remember when I said you had till the
end of the week to make your rent? Well,

make that tomorrow.

Uh, Mary, I've got to go. I'm meeting my
roommate for lunch.

Bye, Brent. Bye.

Hey.

the solution to Sandra's problem.

She should have lunch?

No, a roommate to share the rent.

Oh, I love it.

It's just so charming.

Hello, hello.

I'm Rose Holloway, the landlady here,
and this is Miss Sandra Clark.

Pleased to meet you, Muffin T.

Matthews. Muffin? Oh, that's not my real
name.

I just use it for the beauty pageant.

Beauty pageant? Oh, and may I say that
living with you would be so fulfilling

and rewarding.

What are you, Miss Congeniality?

No, I'm Miss Tuscaloosa.

And next year, we're going after Miss
America.

My manager says I'm a perfect ten.

Oh, what a shame!

Why? She has it in the least. Two
perfect tens can't share the same

Here's the first and last month's rent
and, of course, the security deposit.

Janet, you know, you look very familiar.
Have we ever met before?

Oh, no, child, I don't think so.

I don't socialize very much.

Perfect. I'm sure you guys will get
along just great.

Okay.

I guess you're the one.

Welcome aboard.

We're glad to have you here.

Hey, baby, do I get my own room, or do
we share one, huh?

What you doing, baby?

Wait, let me talk to you a minute.

Baby, talk to her.

Please, one more time.

Come on.

Please let me... Ow!

Woo, every day these sales are getting
tougher and tougher.

You should have seen that tug -of -war I
had on that blouse I bought. Mm -hmm,

and if I had a better grip on it, it
would have been mine.

You do get a job?

No, I got a roommate.

A roommate? You didn't like any of the
six girls we talked to. But you didn't

see the latest one.

Oh, here she comes, right now.

Hello, I'm Mary. Hi, Miss Holloway.

I thought you were rooming at the Don.

Well, they overbooked. And when I told
Miss Clark... Well, I decided to take

little Donna here under my wing.

Let's go tidy up the nest.

I got a lot of work to do.

Donna? Sandra, think about that.

I don't want to think about it, Rose.

So you get rashes?

Oh, and blisters, too.

I break out something awful.

Well, if this doesn't bother you that
much, I'll do all the laundry, too.

Don't you worry about it.

Oh, all right.

But remember, now, we share the cooking.
You only have to make dinner Monday,

Wednesday, and Friday night.

That's fair.

Yeah, the other nights I'll be out.

Sounds like you go out a lot.

Yeah, I'm on a little hot streak.

Started when I was 14.

Maybe I'm just a late bloomer.

I get all nervous around guys. I never
know what to say or do.

Fix the clock. My date is right on time.

Date? I thought you said an insurance
salesman was coming.

I said a cute insurance salesman.

I said, he's your date? Mm -hmm, but he
doesn't know it yet. Take notes.

Oh, good evening, Miss Clark. Good
evening, Mr. Langford. Come in, come in.

This is my roommate, Donna.

Ah, nice to meet you.

Uh, nice to meet you, too, Donna. Have a
seat.

Thank you.

Well, we might as well get started, huh?

Now, you said that you were interested
in life insurance.

Yeah, I figured I'd buy some while I'm
young and full of pent -up energy.

Right. Now, you don't have any major
medical problems, do you?

No. I think everything is in place.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

Now, I have to ask you a series of
questions.

You know, Tony, I feel terrible about
asking you to come out at this time,

dinner time.

I know you must be starving. I know I
am.

No, it's all right. I'll just grab
something afterward.

Well, that's a good idea.

You know, but a nice man like you needs
a nice candlelight dinner.

Glass of imported wine, some nice music.

Donna, could you get my coat?

You know what I mean?

Yeah, um... I know this French
restaurant, and it's nearby.

Well, that sounds good.

What about the insurance?

Well, we can talk about it while we're
dancing.

say Donna upstairs in Sandra's apartment
is a bad move.

Well, Donna just have to learn. Time
comes when these kids have to leave the

coop. Same thing's gonna happen with
Brenda.

I know that. I already told her. When
she's 35, she's out.

I don't understand the big rush to
introduce her to Deacon Barnes' son.

Because I want her to meet somebody
who's nice.

Lord knows who she'll meet up in
Sandra's apartment.

Well, you sure picked the right kid.

But Donna, Date, and Robert, they won't
get around to kissing until the year

2000.

I know.

I was going to save him for Brenda, but
this is an emergency.

Hi, Robert.

Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins.

How you doing, Robert?

How's your parents?

Everyone's fine. Is Miss Dalton here?

Not yet. She'll be down shortly.

Why don't you have a seat?

So, where are you and Donna going
tonight?

Well, sir, I thought we might start off
by going to the sing -along at the

church social.

And then stop by that new yogurt place.

Tonight they change the flavor of the
muck.

That sounds real exciting.

Well, I think that's a wonderful first
date, Robert. Right, honey?

Oh, yeah. I hope Donna will think so.
She sounded really nice on the phone.

Oh, she is. She is.

Nice, quiet, shy girl.

Ah, that must be her now.

know what you're gonna say. I know that
purse don't go with them shoes. You know

what? Maybe I got some stuff in the
sequins. I'll see you out front, okay?

Here, give me.

Uh, maybe you ought to introduce Robert
to Donna.

As soon as he puts his eyeballs back in
their pocket.

Um, Donna, this is Robert Barnes.

Robert, uh, meet Donna.

Yeah, we better go.

These are for you.

Bless you.

Well, I'll tell you one thing. Donna
sure ain't the same sweet, quiet girl. I

mean, two weeks ago, she couldn't pass
the mirror without saying, excuse me.

Speak of the devil. Here comes Donna
now.

Madonna. I mean, Donna.

I think we need to talk. Sure, Mary.
What about?

About your, your, um, difference.

Oh, I know. Isn't it wonderful? I feel
like a whole new person. I've never had

this much fun in my entire life.

I feel so good and confident about
myself.

Coming to see you and Uncle Lester has
been the best thing that's ever happened

to me. Oh, I love it here.

straighten her out.

Oh, hi.

Donna.

Yeah, Donna.

Is Sandra home?

No, Sandra called.

She said she'd be a little late.

What did she say? How late?

You know Sandra.

You look... You look different.

Yeah.

I feel different, too.

Lately, I've got a lot of pent -up
energy.

I hope Sandra hasn't forgotten it's a 7
.30 curtain.

Oh, I hope not, too.

I'd hate to think of you sitting in that
theater all alone with your arm wrapped

around an empty...

You know, you remind me of somebody.

Just think of all the hungry theater
-goers in this town, and one seat has

to be wasted.

Which show are you going to see?

Cats. Oh, cats.

I read the book by T .S. Eliot. It's
based on his poem.

Oh, have you seen the show?

No, I'd love to.

And I'm sure Sandra would, too.

Wherever she is.

The show starts in about 20 minutes. I
don't think she's going to make it.

What about you?

Would you care to join me in seeing Cat?

She went out with my date and used my
ticket to see cats.

And all because I was just a little
late.

Don't you think you're overreacting?

Well, maybe I could have called her.

Actually, it probably was just an
innocent little thing. It probably did

some good.

Poor Tony was probably bored to death.

Oh, hi, Mary.

Oh, Sandra, there you are. There was
nobody at your apartment, so the

man left these with me.

Oh, you're welcome.

Where are you going?

Oh, the delivery man's a friend of mine.

He'll be back for some tea.

Oh, Mary, you know what? These are
probably from Tony apologizing for last

night. Now, you see there, you were all
upset for nothing.

Dear Snookums.

Snookums?

Snookums?

Please accept these flowers as well as
an invitation to dinner Friday.

La Bamba?

Child, that place is so expensive, even
the doorman takes credit cards.

a stake in judgment. Nobody, I mean,
nobody messes with Saundra Claus.

What are you so upset about? You've got
a hundred guys calling you.

Well, today it's 99.

You told me to take notes. Well, that's
all I told you to take.

Now, I got three words for you. You pack
your bags.

Oh, make it five.

Get out.

Donna, I think it's time we had a talk.
Sit down. Well, after... Actually, I was

about to... Sit down.

Now look, Donna, you're going too fast.

You keep going like this, you're going
to get hurt.

I'm having a ball for the first time in
my life. You call taking somebody else's

boyfriend and having wild parties a
ball?

And another thing, about your makeup.

What about my makeup?

Donna, it is too much.

I mean, you look like you're advertising
for one of those street girls.

Well, if that's the way you feel, then
that's fine.

Because come Monday morning, I won't be
living here.

I'll get my own apartment where I can be
myself.

Well, now, that's just great, but today
is Friday.

And just who do you think is going to
put up with that selfish little girl

you've become until then?

Don't you worry about me.

I think I know someplace where I'm
wanted.

Look what the cat dragged in.

Anna!

Marie!

How are you doing?

Brad, look.

How are you?

What a surprise.

Yeah, they just flew in from Ohio to see
how their little Donna was doing in the

big city.

We just couldn't stand being away from
our little baby.

So how is she doing? We were hoping her
being away from home would help her to

stretch.

Oh, she has.

Like a rubber band.

You know, Mary, soon you're going to be
going through the same thing with

Brenda. Oh, no, no.

Lester and I have decided to send Brenda
to school locally.

So where is our little princess?

Well, she's probably up there. Why don't
you sit down?

Oh, yeah, yeah, sit, sit, sit.

So, how is the weather in Ohio?

Oh, fine.

Mary, why don't you go upstairs and
bring Donna down here?

You know how long it's been since I've
been in Ohio?

Yeah, we were just talking about that.
Uh, Ida, Fred, excuse me a minute.

Mary, can I see you in the kitchen for a
minute? We'll be right back.

Okay.

What's wrong?

What's wrong? Yeah.

Nothing.

Donna just stole Sandra's boyfriend,
then Sandra kicked her out of the

apartment, then she came down here and
had it out with me, then she marched out

of here to spend the weekend. Only the
good Lord knows where.

Mary, how could you let this happen? How
could I let...

I'm afraid we're depending on us to keep
an eye on her. He's my best friend. How

am I going to face him? What am I going
to do?

Just go out there and tell him the
truth.

Maybe I should have let him drown.

Hey, Lester, is everything okay? Oh,
sure, man. Set a house.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

There. That's all our clothes.

Those are Donna's clothes.

Yes, they are.

And this is Sandra Clark.

Who does our laundry?

Your what?

Pardon. The laundry.

She likes when you say it in French.

You know, Mary, there's a couple of
things I'd like to say to you. Oui, oui,

oui.

Oui, oui, mademoiselle.

When will Don be back?

Lester?

Uh, friend, you remember that time when
I saved your life?

No.

Uh, well, Mary has something to tell
you.

Um, well, it's about Donna.

She's, um, come back.

Oh, it's Dad!

We rise!

You're looking great. Look at her. Hey,
sit down and tell us all about how

you're doing.

Mary, could you help me get something to
drink for my parents?

Why, certainly, Dada.

Well?

You were right.

I'm not ready for life in the fast lane.

No.

I went over to Tony's place, and he said
that I could sleep on the couch.

Mm -hmm.

I didn't know he planned on sleeping
there, too. What happened?

Nothing, nothing.

I got out of there, and I went to my
girlfriend's dorm.

I'll be able to stay there, and I think
that's what's best for me. I think so,

too.

I want to apologize for the way that
I've acted.

It all seems so easy.

I thought that I could get anything I
wanted and never mind who I hurt.

But now I realize that I can't do that
anymore.

Well, as long as you really realize that
now.

I'm going to go apologize to Sandra.

Donna, it's really nice having the old
Donna back.

Well, not completely.

I plan on keeping just a little bit of
the new me.

Oh?

Okay.

Until I get a date for homecoming.

Deal.
