That'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 that's no

like home.

Times are changing every day.

We won't get by with those same old
ways.

Pulling together, we'll make it round.

With help from our friends and family.

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

ain't no place like. There's no place
like home.

I mean no place child.

to have a great rummage sale with all
this stuff we've collected. Yeah.

But you know, this table of Lorraine's
seems too nice to give away.

Oh, that's part of her divorce
settlement.

I know.

She got the furniture in the apartment,
and he got the car and a younger wife.

Would you believe it? Lorraine's husband
leaving her for a younger woman?

What would be unbelievable is if he left
her for an older woman.

Who was he with? The busybody steel door
company?

Now, watch it, lady. If you're not
careful, you're gonna end up like

You're not careful. You're gonna end up
with a nose like Pinocchio.

Guess who I accidentally saw parked in a
car across the street last night?

Pearl, now you know you can't see that
far.

With my telescope.

Do you have to make that racket?

I'm sorry.

I didn't know this was the public
library.

Well, take what you don't know and make
a new world.

Rose, why did you buy a steel door in
the first place?

Oh, they're sturdy, easy to clean, and
they last forever.

In other words, the salesman was cute.

I gotta get going.

What does he want?

Us to throw him a party?

Miss Holloway, does something matter
with your doorknob?

Now, you can open the door from the
outside, but you can't open it from the

inside. Wait a minute.

You're going to leave it like that?

Well, I put a wedge under the door that
just don't close it. I'll be back in a

couple of days with the new doorknob.

A couple of days?

Yeah. I'm going on vacation.

This is hard work.

Well, ain't that about a blip.

Ladies, ladies.

Oh, there you are. Wait till you hear
this.

Can you keep a secret?

No!

Oh, no,

we're locked in here.

How did that happen? You, that's how it
happened.

The door can't be opened from the
inside.

Are we gonna die?

Pearl, we are not going to die.

Don't make such a big thing out of it.
Calm down.

Thanks to you, Sondra, we're trapped in
here.

Well, we can't be trapped.

I hope it's Superman, because that's the
only way you're getting out of here.

He is faster than a speeding bullet.

Oh, what are we worried about?

I mean, Brenda and Calvin will be here
soon. They'll find us. Look, all we have

to do is do what Mary says. Just stay
calm and wait.

Yeah, well, that's great for you. You
all need a dull existence anyway.

But I'm not going to the Bahamas.

and plucking straws. Then we're going to
turn out the light, and the one with

the short straw gets to kill your butt.

Well, that's the thanks I get, huh, for
being nice and coming down here to make

you envious.

Poor Calvin.

When I'm gone, who's going to holler at
him?

Pearl, you are not going to die. You're
not going anywhere.

You've been here almost 50 years, and
you'll be here another 50.

50 years?

Rose, don't you think it's time you
repainted my apartment?

Oh, you've been here that long?

Yeah, she was one of the first ones of
us to move in this building.

I sure was.

I'll never forget that day.

Mom and I heard about this apartment for
rent.

Well, I arranged to meet her there right
after work to take a look at the place.

Of course, I was much younger then.

Carry that for your girl.

Big, strong, good -looking man like you?

Maybe you can.

What have you got in here?

My homemade fruitcake.

Be that to the Germans, we'll win the
war.

No, you're here.

I'm not only here, I'm three bucks ahead
and raising.

Do what you want.

But the lady across from you is holding
three aces.

Four.

Girls, I've got to talk to my pearl
here.

Now, the apartment is in the back, but
it's very nice.

I put a six -month lease on it.

But I haven't even seen it.

Six months. It's been a time to see it.

It's not that big.

I was hoping for something spacious and
airy with a view like this

apartment right here.

Sir, that's my place.

Well, honey, it's wartime, and you got
to take what you can get.

Well, at least we have a place all our
own.

Right. It's all yours.

Between the hours of 8 p .m. and 8 a .m.
What?

All the apartments, they're rented in
shifts.

We match up the tenants according to
their work schedules.

You mean to tell me I can't go upstairs
right now and take a bath?

Not unless you want to share it with a
200 -pound night watchman.

What does he look like?

Never mind, child. He's more my type.

I don't believe this. I've been drafted.

I'm going to be leaving all my friends.

There, there.

Can we have your apartment?

Well, he came back from the war, and we
argued about who would take over the

apartment.

So I married him, moved in, and kicked
him out.

I'm desperate. Anybody got a hairpin?
Oh, Sonny, this is no time to be worried

about your appearance.

Now I want to pick the lock. An old
boyfriend showed me how.

You mean you dated a locksmith?

Mm -mm, a cat burglar.

It was only once, and I never saw him
again.

I don't have a hairpin, but I got a
paperclip.

What are you doing with... joints?

I see a jiggle to the left.

Wigger to the right.

She's talking about the lock or her
walk.

What? My lock?

Oh, I knew I should have dated him a
second time.

I don't want to die in a storage room.

Girl, if I have to tell you one more
time, you're not going to die. I'm going

let you die here.

I told you Brenda will be home soon.
They'll find us. Well, how can you be so

sure? Because this is her allowance day.

She'll find me anywhere.

Rose, you ain't going nowhere.

Lord, I haven't seen this since the day
I moved in.

I had to do the moving in all by myself.

My husband was in the army then. And
wouldn't you know it, he couldn't get a

furlough.

Hi. Hi, I'm Pearl. Your day was
downstairs.

I thought you'd like to have a cup of
coffee.

Well, right on.

Is that a yes or no?

It's a yes.

Good. I'll wait while you make it.

Oh, I'm sorry, Pearl.

My pot's still packed away.

That's illegal, isn't it?

My coffee pot.

Oh, okay.

I'll come back tomorrow.

That is if you're still here.

Wait, wait, wait. Why wouldn't I still
be here?

Well, nobody lasts a night in this
apartment.

Well, what...

Why don't they last the night in this
apartment?

It's the Henderson curse.

The Henderson curse?

Uh -huh. The Henderson curse.

Well, what is it?

I'm sorry. I said too much already.

Good night.

But, Carl, wait a minute.

What is the Henderson curse?

That's my imagination.

Okay?

One thing's for sure.

It's not my imagination.

All right, check this out, Henderson.

Now, I don't know what your scene is,
but, man, it's not my trip. So you can

rattle your bones someplace else, but I
ain't scared of you.

Your neighbor.

Pardon me.

I'm Jeremy Whitestone.

I live across the hall.

I'll get right to the point.

My band and I rehearse every night.

If you find that inconvenient, I'm truly
sorry.

But I have a three -year lease, and
there's nothing you can do about it.

Peace.

Oh, by the way, I hope you'll buy our
albums. We call ourselves the Henderson

Curse.

Child, I still remember you and these
noisy bees.

We've been locked in here for two hours,
and it's all Brenda's fault.

Oh, right.

Brenda came running in here to tell us
the secret, kicked the wedge out the

door, and got us locked in.

Sure, take her side.

We're all gonna die.

I sure am glad I didn't pay last month's
rent.

Would you guys stop being so negative?

Why don't you put your heads together
and try to come up with a way to get out

of here?

Open from the inside. We're trapped in
here.

Mom, I hope you have my allowance with
you.

Stand back. Stand back, everybody.

Could y 'all let a man handle this?

I mean, it's only a door.

Door opens in, genius.

Oh.

Okay, now what?

Oh, there's still Lester. When he gets
home, he'll be so hungry, honey, he will

come looking for me.

I don't think so, Mom.

Dad's not coming home.

Oh. Well, at least he waited till Brenda
was grown.

What are you talking about, Brenda?

Dad called and said he's going to
Philadelphia to see a ball game. He

back until late tonight.

Oh, fine.

He'll come home, tiptoe into the
bedroom, slip into the bed, fall fast

We're dead.

It's only a matter of time before one of
us has to go to the bathroom.

Time's up.

Oh, enough of this gloom and doom.

Let's think. Happy thoughts.

Yeah, did anybody see the Cosby show
yesterday?

Oh, shut up, Cal.

Okay, Mary, why don't you tell us about
when you and Lester moved into the

building? Oh, Rose, nobody wants to hear
about that.

Yeah, right.

You see, I think it was a Tuesday.

Or maybe it was a Thursday.

To tell you the truth, so much was
happening, I don't know what day it was.

welcoming committee.

Oh, how nice.

I'll be right out. Okay.

God, you're so nosy. I'm not. I'm trying
to see what kind of people they are.

How? By checking out their deodorant?

I declare, who hangs wallpaper in their
bedroom with wagon wheels and hoof

prints on it?

Welcome to the building. I'm Rose
Holloway, and this is Pearl Shea.

Well, I'm Mary Jenkins, and this is
Brenda.

Nice to meet you both.

No, thanks. I use dress shields.

We thought you might like a cup of
coffee. And some fruitcake.

Oh, how nice. Thank you.

Try the fruitcake first.

So, are you married?

Pearl.

That's okay.

My husband's at work. He's the
construction foreman.

I almost met a construction foreman.

Well, the day before the wedding, he was
killed by a wrecking ball.

Well, I tell you, sometimes I wonder how
some people get as far as they do in

this world. Oh, here's my hubby now.

These are our neighbors, honey.

This is Rose and Pearl. Hello. Pleased
to meet you.

I got in a big fight with Dawson. He
wanted me to approve substandard

for the building, and I told him no.

Well, good for you.

And I told him if he wanted somebody to
cut corners, then he could get another

man. Well, good for you.

And then he put his hands on me and told
me to get my butt back to work, so I

slugged him. Good for you.

And then he fired me.

Well, honey, you did what you had to do.

Well, Per, we better be going.

Now, if you guys need anything, just
holler.

And leave the door open so the rest of
us can hear.

And thank you for the coffee and the
fruitcake.

You're welcome.

you, and you won't be able to get a job
anywhere. Did you forget that I was

pregnant, and that we just moved in
here, and there's a recession going on,

our bedroom looks like bonanza?

May, will you calm down? We'll get by.

Oh, we'll get by. Of course we will.
Why, we can live off of this fruitcake,

if we slice it very thinly, it'll last
us till Christmas, and we can take the

rest and make Christmas gifts.

Not so loud the neighbors can hear.

No, we can't.

Mary, I put that in the oven. That's a
boy.

I'm baking it. It's a girl.

Whatever you say, but can we name her
Brian?

How about Brianetta?

Three months later, Brenda was born, and
everything turned out fine.

And now I'm 17, and Calvin's the closest
thing I've had to a real boyfriend.

You call that close?

You never even really kissed.

Well, since the end is near, we can
remedy that now.

You do, and the end won't be near. It'll
be here.

This brings back memories of when I was
a teenager five years ago.

You must have been a leap year, babe,
because you sure leaped over a lot of

years.

remember the day you and I met.

Remember? I was looking especially cute.

Excuse me. Did you tell me who I talked
to about the vacant apartment?

Oh, the owner's out of town. I'm in
charge. My name is Mary Jenkins.

Mary. What a fascinating name.

Easy to remember. I bet it looks nice on
an ankle bracelet.

Well, I can see the S on your sweater
stands for Swift.

What's your name?

Sandra Clark.

But all my friends call me Sparkle.

That's because I brighten things up
wherever I go.

So weird. And I thought it was the sun.

Do you have any references?

Oh, here you go.

Sparkle is the greatest. Tommy. Is that
your boyfriend?

No. He was my favorite feature.

To whom it may concern, if I had a
place, I would want Sandra to live

Jack. Another teacher.

Jack. Oh, he's the bus driver. I met him
on the way over here.

Wow, what a morning.

Look how bright it is out here today.

No, it's just me.

This is my husband, Lester Jenkins,
honey.

Meet Miss Sunshine, Sandra Sparkle
Clark.

She's here for the apartment.

Oh, nice to meet you, Miss Clark. What
do you do for a living?

I'm a cheerleader.

Don't see many calls for that in a
classifier.

Oh, but I'm very, very good. I was head
cheerleader at my high school.

Listen to this.

Sounds very hot. Sounds very hot. We
play clean. We play fair. We don't play

dirty, but we can if we have to. Yay!

I thought that myself.

Let me guess. You graduated magna from
loony.

I know this is no time for logic, but
since you're in between cheers, how do

intend paying for this apartment?

Oh, I saved up quite a bit of money. And
when all that's gone, I'm going to look

for a job.

You know, I don't think that this is...
Oh, then I don't say no.

Now, I know things are going to work
out. People are so nice in this town. On

way over here, this man offered to pay
my bus fare.

But it was to his house that I had to
say no.

Isn't that nice of him, though?

May I speak to you for a minute?

Why don't you give the kid a break?

Are you crazy? Come on, what are you
worried about? The poor thing sounds

she fell off a turnip truck.

She got pushed off the turnip truck.

Well, whatever you decide.

I gotta get to work. Nice meeting you,
Miss Clark.

Bye, Mr. Lester.

So, Sparkle, dearie, now you're young
and obviously very, very popular, and

sure that you would like to have lots of
parties.

Oh, now I get it.

Don't worry.

You and Mr. Lester will be invited to
all of them.

I'm afraid that this isn't the right
place for you.

You think I could talk to the owner?

I'm afraid Mr. Calloway is out of town
for quite a while.

Mister? The owner's a man?

How are we there?

Neighbor.

Well,

Sondra, you haven't changed a...

clearly this outfit on special
occasions.

Well, you know, a lot of things have
changed over the years, but there's one

thing that hasn't changed.

That's us. We're still together.

Still friends, for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer, in sickness and

in health.

We're just friends, Rose. Dang, we're
not getting married.

You know, this might be a good time to
clear the air, what's left of it.

Pearl?

There's something that I want to tell
you.

You're paying entirely too much money
for your apartment.

Now, Rose, there's something I want to
tell you, too.

I'm the one that reported you to the
housing commission.

Uh, Linda.

Um, remember two years ago when I
couldn't take you to the sock hop and I

you that I had strep throat?

Well, the truth is, I went to the
Redskins game.

Yeah? Well, remember I told you I was
going to stay home that evening and wash

my hair?

Yeah, and you were lying, too?

No, I wasn't, and I'm never going to
speak to you again.

Mary, this might be a good opportunity
for you and Sandra to straighten things

out between you.

How?

Okay.

Sandra?

You owe me for 672 uninvited meals that
you ate at my house.

Maybe. Be serious.

I'll start.

I want to apologize to you for all the
terrible things I ever said to you.

You accept my apology?

Oh, of course.

And I would like to apologize for all
the rotten things I've said to you.

And someday I will.

God, you can't. Dad, don't let the door
close. If it does, we can't get out.

Right. We've been trapped in here since
this morning.

Isn't that just like a bunch of women?

No offense, Calvin.

To get themselves into a dumb jam like
this is a good thing I came looking for

my baseball glove.

You know, this could have happened to
anybody.

No, it couldn't. Only to a bunch of
women. No offense, Calvin.

Well, let me out of here. Yeah, here
comes my mama, mama.

Thank you, Mr. Jenkins.

Oh, there's my mint.

Thank you.
