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

home.

Time's gonna change it.

Every day, we won't get by with no flame
away.

Pulling together, we'll make it right.

With a number of my friends, I know we
can try. Cause 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 ain't no place like, there
ain't no place like,

There's no place like home.

I mean, no place, child.

Miserab. What's looking at me for?

Son is the one not with. Girl can't
move.

Rose, I may not know how to do a lot of
things, but how to move isn't one of

them.

Would you two cut it out?

Now, I want it faster.

Faster. Yeah, but earlier you said do it
slower.

Slower. Oh, my goodness. I wonder if
Quincy Jones has to put up with this.

I mean, how do you expect me to get a
show done?

Well, they picked you because you're so
calm and cool.

Such a pleasure to work with.

Can we try it again, faster?

Hit it, Daryl.

Come on in, he's on down, he's on down
the road.

Come on in, he's on down, he's on down
the road.

Don't you care, baby, I've been mad my
whole life.

Get me off.

You know, Mary, that's not the kind of
whistle I usually respond to.

production for the church.

Rose, in show business, there's no such
thing as a little production.

Only little people.

Well, you're lucky we're little people.
There's 11 of us here in one dressing

room. Yeah.

And what about that one bathroom?

It's got me uptight.

Oh, by the way, that reminds me. While
the choir is singing, we'll have to use

the gas station. Now, Mary, hold on. Oh,
trouble.

I hope.

Oh, Lord. Take five.

Emma, nice to see you. Very friendly for
someone who stole my director's job

from me.

I didn't steal it, Emma. The reverend
assigned it to me.

Well, all I can say is you must have
made some contribution to the church.

Yes, I did. The contribution of
directing.

Emma, you know you've never directed
anything.

I'll have you know in my 20s I directed
Caesar and Cleopatra.

Really? Was she as pretty as they say
she was?

Break a leg, Mary.

And I do mean break a leg.

What's the matter, officer?

Was I traveling too fast?

Pearl, I have seen every costume except
the lion. When am I going to see it?

Well, it was so expensive.

How about a rabbit?

A lion, Pearl. Get me a lion.

All right, but he's going to have big
ears.

How's the play going?

Reverend, there is no way I can get this
play done in a week.

Well, Mary, the Lord created the earth
in six days.

But he wasn't working with amateurs.

Well, I have faith in you, Mary. Oh, by
the way, the education committee wanted

me to thank you and Lester again for
volunteering to take in a college

Oh, it's our pleasure, Reverend.

Oh, she'll be here tomorrow.

And she couldn't have picked a better
time.

Can you believe it, Stacy?

I am going to be sharing my room with a
college student.

Do you know what that means?

Yes, I'm going to have two girls running
after me.

No.

It means I'm going to be meeting college
men and not high school boys.

Hi, Mrs. Dickens.

Okay, Brenda, off the phone.

There's work to do. I gotta go. Steven
Spielberg is back.

I gotta get back.

Is your room clean?

Kind of.

Work with me, Brenda. Work with me.

Not only am I doing a play, but I have a
college student arriving in a few

minutes. Okay, Mom.

This is so exciting. I hope she's cool.

Yeah, in my fantasy, she's vanity in a
crew neck sweater. Well, in my fantasy,

her name is Alexandria.

She'll help you get a head start in
college, and she might even give me a

around here.

Here, put this in your room.

I'll give you a hand. No, give me that
hand.

Put that in it, and when you get back, I
got something else for you to do. Oh,

good, Mrs. Jenkins. Something more to
look forward to.

Hey, Mary, what happened to my
nightstand?

Oh, honey, I put it in Brenda's room. I
thought it would make a nice little desk

for Alexandria.

Well, where am I supposed to put my
books when I read at night?

Just come over to my side of the bed.

I don't come over to that side for
reading.

Oh.

Oh, here they come.

Hello.

You must be Mr. DeWitt.

Professor DeWitt.

And you must be Mrs. Jenkins.

What a pleasure.

Well, come in, come in. Thank you.

Professor DeWitt, I'm Lester Jenkins.
How do you do?

And may I say how marvelous it is of you
to open up your home for my little

girl. It's our pleasure.

Well, where's Alexandria? I asked her to
wait downstairs.

I thought it best we speak first, sort
of get to know each other.

Well, so this is where Alexandra will be
living for the next year.

Charming.

Charming. Tell me, Mrs. Jenkins, which
door opens to the library?

That one. It's five blocks down the
road.

Mrs. Jenkins, I will be gone for an
entire year. It's important that I know

much about you as I can.

They come to you, Hoovers.

What?

Those are our neighbors.

Probably coming to borrow our
encyclopedia.

We got a mail. Here, check this out.

These are our neighbors, Rose Holloway
and Sandra Clark. This is Professor

DeWitt. Hello.

Oh, I dated a professor once.

Did he study anthropology?

No, anatomy.

Hey, Mrs. Jenkins, I finished taking out
the garbage. Anything else?

Okay, Mom, my room is all cleaned out.

You must forgive us, Professor.

It usually isn't that hectic around
here. This is our daughter, Brenda, and

that's our neighbor, Calvin Dobbs. How
you doing?

Where's my new roommate?

She's downstairs studying her physics
book.

Oh, she's a science major. That's her
minor.

She's majoring in philosophy, higher
mathematics, and linguistics.

Hey, my three favorite subjects.

Hey, if she ever needs any help, I live
right downstairs.

That must be Alexandra now. Oh, I'll get
it.

Alexandria. Alexandria?

This is my daughter, Alexandria.

These are the Jenkins.

How do you do?

Strong grip.

Construction game, perhaps?

Yes, I do own a construction company.
Good choice. Housing starts are up 6 %

this year.

And this must be Mrs. Jenkins.

Yes.

I'm in housing, too.

Nice to meet you, Alexandria.

Thank you for inviting me here. I'm sure
we'll get along splendidly.

And this must be Brenda.

Yes, ma 'am. I mean, hi.

Brenda, this should be fun. Do you like
music?

Oh, I love music.

Good. I brought my entire collection of
the three Bs. What group is that?

Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms.

Well, um, I like rap.

Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

Oh, honey, you'll grow up.

I'm your landlady. Oh, landlady. Are you
familiar with Keynes' theory of

economics? No, but I'm familiar with
Keyes' theory.

What's that?

No rent, no keys.

And I don't believe I've been told about
this chap.

This chap lives downstairs with his
grandmother, who's got to see this to

believe it.

How old are you?

you're entering college? Some 11 -year
-olds haven't even graduated college.

Well, uh, I gotta finish putting on my
lion's costume. If you hear any growling

upstairs, you know my date's arrived.

He's a real animal.

Good luck, Mary.

I'll be watching Wild Kingdom.

Now, Brenda, would you kindly show me to
my room?

You mean my room?

You mean we're sharing?

Well, actually, the whole closet is
empty.

along splendidly. Uh, Mr. DeWitt, we had
no idea that Alexandria was only 11.

None whatsoever.

Well, now, I know we have an agreement,
but I really think we have to discuss

this. Good!

Because, frankly, I'm a bit concerned
about you two.

I beg your pardon.

Tell you what. We'll give it a two -week
trial.

Guess what?

I gave Brenda the gift. She's gonna love
those laboratory mice.

How about a one -week trial?

So you see, Reverend, Alexandria is not
exactly what we expected.

Well, it seems as though you have your
hands filled, but I can't think of a

better couple to handle it.

I wish you could.

Well, the trial period will be over
soon, and you can make your decision

I guess so.

Okay, break's over. Let's get back to
rehearsal.

What's up next, honey?

Pearl's number.

All right, Pearl, it's time for Don't
Nobody Bring Me No Bad News. Get on up

there. Well, I got bad news.

I ain't doing it.

Pearl, Pearl, please don't do this to
me. The production is tomorrow.

But, I mean, that song is not sexy
enough for me. I really need something

hot, you know what I mean?

Pearl, that song is a showstopper. Yeah,
you got the best song in the musical.

Oh, come on, Mary. Let's show her how to
do it. Oh, whatever.

Okay, hit it, Gerald.

When I wake up in the afternoon, as it
pleases me to do, don't nobody bring me

no bad news.

Because I wake up already negative, and
I'm lighting up my fuse.

So don't nobody bring me no bad news.

Bring the message in your head or it's
something you can't lose.

Don't you ever bring me no bad news.

If you're going to bring me something,
bring me something I can use like a man.

Check on our star.

Dorothy's number's up next.

Okay.

Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Jenkins. What is it,
Alexandria?

Do you believe in physical violence?

Of course not.

They're after me. They're after me.
Help.

There's that little monster.

Wait a minute. Just a minute. Just a
minute. Do you know what she did? She

us to her college and embarrassed us in
front of her entire psychology class.

We're not sure. She said something in
Latin and all her friends started

laughing. That's how much you know. It
was in Greek.

Oh, let me at it.

No, no, stop it. Stop it, you two.

Now, I think we can settle this when we
get home.

In English.

All right.

All right. At home.

We'll get with you later.

Look at it this way. You could be Toto.

Well, at this point, I'd rather be a
flea collar than this. In the original

book, Toto didn't wear a flea collar.

In fact, the flea collar was invented in
1949.

Alexandria, Alexandria.

Take your little stuff over there and
sit down.

And read a book. Better yet, write one.

Don't you touch my tail.

The men are going to love me in this
costume.

When I grow up, I want a man to love me
for my mind.

Honey, trust me. I dated that guy, and
he's a real drag.

Can we get back to rehearsal?

Forget Dorothy's part.

The star has an upset stomach and had to
go home.

Mary, I could read the part of Dorothy.

Emma?

You're lucky you're reading Toto.

Um, Alexandria, come here.

I want you to come up here and be
Dorothy for a few minutes, okay?

Here, now read that.

If you believe within your heart, you'll
know that no one can change if

happiness goes.

That's not true.

Freud wrote that people can't change.

Read.

garbage. Alexandria, it's only a song.

Well, it's no Aida.

Alexandria, everything does not have to
be perfect or intellectual.

Some things are done just because
they're fun. Fun!

Mrs. Jenkins, forgive me, but if you
think about it, you're talking like a

child.

No, I'm talking to a child who doesn't
know how to act like one. Now read it.

You couldn't sleep either, huh?

No.

Thinking about Alexandria.

Yeah, she's in there huddled up in my
chair.

Mm -hmm. Brenda evicted her.

What are we going to do about her?

Well, we may not have a decision to
make. She doesn't seem to be too

with us.

Well, I can't say I blame her. I have
been crazy with this show.

Yeah, and I've been busy with work.

And Brenda was expecting an 18 -year
-old. Oh, babe, we were all expecting an

-year -old. Mm -hmm.

Instead, we got an 11 -year -old. Going
on 50.

Oh, it looks like there might not even
be a show.

Well, it's not your fault the star of
the show came down with measles.

What's that?

Alexandria.

I'll go.

Alexandria?

Honey, what's the matter?

Is this the Tiber I love? of control.

I'll be fine.

Yes, I can see that.

Oh, Mr.

Cheekus, nobody likes me. You don't like
me. Mr.

Cheekus doesn't like me. Brenda hates
me.

Oh, now, Alexandria, honey, none of
that's true.

You just aren't quite what we were
expecting, that's all. And it takes a

time for people to get used to each
other.

And how do you want to act?

I don't know. I just don't want anybody
to be mad at me.

You know what I think?

What? I think you should just be
yourself.

I mean, sometimes that might be acting
like a grown -up, and sometimes that may

be acting like a kid.

But either way, as long as you always
remember to treat other people with

respect, then they'll respect you.

Mrs. Jenkins?

What?

Right now, I want to be a kid.

Thank you, Mrs. Jenkins. I feel much
better.

And emotional catharsis can be very
cleansing.

Yeah, child.

Sure can.

What's going on?

Mary, what is it? Is Alexandra all
right?

Yeah. My little baby's going to be just
fine.

Wait a minute, Mom.

I thought I was your little baby.

Oh, Brenda.

that shows you what a great director can
do.

Can I get out of this tin pan now?

Just as soon as we get your partner off
stage.

Wonderful.

You sure you know all your lines?

Oh, who am I kidding?

You're going to be wonderful.

Mrs. Jenkins, you ain't heard nothing
yet.

Ain't? I hope our father doesn't hear
that.
