You know, Willona,

meat costs as much
as jewelry these days.

I was gonna have the butcher
engrave my pork chops.

[LAUGHS]

Um, Willona, I saw your body
get off the bus,

but is your mind
still on it?

Why would you
say that?

Well, because you just put
the toilet paper in the freezer.

Oh.

Well, I didn't
want it to go bad.

You know, what's really
bothering me is Penny.

It's been two days now,
and no one knows

what's going on
with the mother or child.

They just disappeared.

Even if we knew, we couldn't
do anything about it.

I know,
but when they was here,

if she got in trouble,
she could come to one of us.

But who's she got
to go to now?

Very, well, I'll talk to you
later, honey.

Okay, Willona. Thank you
for helping me.

WILLONA:
Mm-hm.

Hey, Willona, wait a minute.
You forgot your cleaning.

Willona?

Hey, Willona, it's me.

Anybody home?

WILLONA:
Oh, hello, Mrs. Carpenter.

So nice to see you.
Any news about Penny

or her mother?

No, nothing,
I'm afraid.

I-- I was on a case
in the neighborhood

and just thought
I'd stop by.

Oh, well--
Come on in.

Thank you, I will.
THELMA: Want some tea?

Oh, no, nothing. But I want you
both to know that we are using

every means at our disposal
to track down Mrs. Gordon.

Oh, I know the first place
to look.

In every store
that sells boxing gloves.

I understand how concerned
you both are,

but you must remember,

the child's mother's
in need of help too.

Yeah, right.

[INAUDIBLE]

Trust me, little bro.
I got a foolproof scheme

to get rid of these
leftover carnival goldfish

and make a profit
at the same time.

Hey, look here, Michael.

How was I to know that
none of those fools

down at the A&P

were willing to take
a chance of a lifetime?

J.J., I was the only fool
down there.

You know why?
That's because I listened

to another
one of your dumb schemes.

Michael, one day
one of my dumb schemes

gonna make us all rich.

Then I'll be known
as J. Paul Ghetto.

Michael and J. Paul Ghetto,
we do have company.

Oh, hey there,
Mrs. Carpenter.

Look here,
you find Penny yet?

No, I'm sorry.

Hey, this is
just a wild hunch,

but did you two
business tycoons

have any trouble getting rid
of the little goldfishes?

Willona, we couldn't
even give them away.

That's 'cause Michael here won't
listen to the entrepreneur.

Oh, yeah? Well, get a load
of what J.J. wanted me to say:

[CLEARS THROAT]
"You say you don't like pets?

"We don't care.

"You say you don't have a bowl?
We don't care.

"You say fish give you hives?
We don't care.

"You say you don't have
a quarter to pay for these fish?

[DEEP VOICE]
We care."

[LAUGHS]

Well, I-- I hope
we can find somebody

to give these
little fish a home.

Oh, well, why don't you
set them free?

Hey, Mrs. Carpenter,
you know, that's a good idea.

I'm gonna dump these jokers
in Lake Michigan.

Oh, dear, I-- I didn't mean
for him to kill them.

Yeah, poor Michael's just about
to commit fish-icide.

Oh, oh, excuse me.

I-- I am going to be late
for my appointment.

Now I'm gonna
really have to, um,

hustle my butt.

Ooh, very good,
Mrs. Carpenter.

Good. Later.

"Later."

Oh, I'm gonna
have to remember that one too.

[LAUGHING]

Oh, it sure is nice to know
someone is worried about Penny

beside us, huh?
Yeah.

Well, I'm gonna go
and do my ironing.

Wait a minute. Since you helped
me with the groceries,

why don't you stay and have
the last piece of cake I baked

as a reward, huh?

Not eating Thelma's cooking
at all is reward enough.

J.J., there are two things
in life that I never say no to.

One of them
is a piece of cake.

[LAUGHS]

And the other is
a piece of cake with ice cream.

[LAUGHS]

Hey, that's weird.
It's gone.

WILLONA: What?
Yeah.

Now, I know that cake
was in here this morning.

J.J., what are
you doing?

Looking for dead roaches.

[LAUGHS]

Because if they ate
that cake,

they couldn't
have got too far.

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

All right.
Where is she?

Where's who?
You know who.

Penny. She's run away.

Thank God.

[LAUGHS]

But she isn't here.

Who are you trying to kid.
Where else would she go?

Hold it!
Hey, hey, hey.

Where do you think
you going?

Look, this is none of your
business, so just butt out.

Butt out? Honey, I ain't
started butting in yet.

You listen to me.
You just get out of my way

because I am going to look
in those bedrooms.

You can't come barging
in somebody's house

and looking in their bedrooms.
I can if they're hiding my kid.

Ain't nobody
hiding your kid.

[ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

Ladies, ladies, ladies,
take it easy, take it easy, now.

Stop cackling like gooses!

Settle it down!

I am not leaving here
until I get my child.

Hm!
In that case,

I'll help you look for her.

And, uh, we'll see
how small you feel

when she's not in here,

for instance.

Penny? Penny?

Or in here,

which happens to be
our porcelain facility where,

as you can see,
there are nothing but

Thelma's unmentionables
hanging in their usual place:

all over.

J.J., give me those,
you fool.

Or you can see she's
not hiding under here.

All right, all right,
don't be funny.

Maybe I was wrong.

It's obvious
she's not here.

Hey, wait a minute, now.

Don't quit on me now.

Just when I was
starting to get warm.

We haven't checked
in the, uh, closet yet.

Look, would you
stop him.

J.J., the woman's
leaving.

Not until she's
seen everything.

[CLEARS THROAT]
On second thought,

maybe she has
seen everything.

Look...

I'm sorry I barged in
the way I did.

We accept your apologies.
Here's the door.

No, no, no, just--
Just one minute.

I got something I gotta say.
No you don't, Willona.

Look, honey, I don't know
what your problem is,

but I've seen enough of Penny
to know her problem is you.

I don't have to hang around
and listen to this.

That's right, you don't.
Um, Mrs. Gordon?

Um, I heard of a group called,
uh, Parents Anonymous.

And it's like,
a lot of people get together

with the same problems
you have,

and they
help each other.

Oh, is that so?
THELMA: Yeah.

Well, you listen
Miss High and Mighty.

You just get off
your soapbox, hear,

and stop trying to save me.

What do you know
about me, anyway?

Any of you?

We know one thing.

You've been using that child
as a punching bag.

"That child."

Is that all you can talk about
is "that child"?

What about me?
You think it's easy

raising that kid
without a father?

Big deal.

I was raised
without a father.

My mother didn't go
upside my head.

Well, then you were lucky, baby.

Because my family went upside,
downside and across mine.

I've had to scuffle all my life!

Honey, you don't own the rights
or the patent on scuffling.

I been on my own
since I was 16 years old.

Well, that's fine for you,

because when you were 16,

you didn't have to worry
about nobody but yourself.

Me, when I was 16,
I was pregnant.

And I didn't have a dime.

With a man that ran off and left
before Penny was even born.

That happens every day
in a week.

You could have
done something about it.

Done something?
Sister, I did do something.

I carried that baby
and I made a living for myself

at the same time.

And I wanted to do those things,

but when the baby was born,
what did she do for me, huh?

What did she do for me? Nothing!

I can't even keep a man
on account of Penny.

If it wasn't for her
all the time needing things,

wanting things...

[SOBBING]

...maybe I'd have
some happiness.

Now she's gone off and--

And caused me more trouble.

God, haven't I had enough?

[CRYING]
Don't cry, Mama. Please don't.

So you weren't
hiding her, huh?

What is this?
You lied to me, all of you!

Mama, they didn't know
I was here.

I sneaked in and took some cake

because I was hungry.

Then I heard someone coming.

I got scared and hid.

Please, can we go home now?

Home?

Oh, sure, we can go
right home.

Mrs. Gordon?

Do yourself a favor.

Get some help.
You need it so badly.

Remember I told you about
Parents Anonymous?

Parents Anon--?

What are they gonna do for me?

Huh? Are they gonna pay
all my bills?

Are they gonna solve
our problems?

They might help you
find yourself.

I mean, they can help you
understand your frustrations

so you can deal
with them.

And probably suggest
some kind of therapy.

[GASPS]

Therapy?

Oh, so now you think
I'm crazy, huh?

Hey, look here, Mrs. Gordon.
Everybody needs

a little brain straightening out
once in a while.

I mean, even me.

Mrs. Gordon, if you keep on
the way you're going,

the cops are gonna
stomp all over you, honey.

Now you listen.
This here is my kid.

And I'm gonna handle her
any way I want to.

Just like my family
handled me.

Come on, Penny.
Oh, Mrs. Gordon.

You stay out of my face!

Stay out of my face with all
the stuff you're laying on me.

I got enough trouble
of my own.

Mama--
Keep your cool, Mrs. Gordon.

Shut up, you.

And I've had enough
of your preaching.

I've had enough of you strangers
messing in my business.

I've had enough of you
bothering me all the time.

I want some peace...

Oh... oh, God.

Not again.

I gotta get out of here.
Wait for me, Mama.

No, I-- I'll be back.
I-- I n-- I need some air.

Mrs. Gordon, now will you
get some help?

Would--?
Please think about it.

I am thinking about it.

I'm thinking that
maybe this time

I'm the one that's gonna
run away from home for a change.

There's a life
out there somewhere,

and I'm gonna have me
a hunk of it.

Don't do this to Penny.
Don't leave her like this.

You can't leave
your child.

She deserves something
better than me.

Mrs. Gordon...

Hey!

Had a long talk
with your mom

and everything's
gonna be okay.

Hey, what do you say
we all play some cards?

Some Whist?
Tonk or something?

Hey, you know what
we could do?

If there's something
good on TV.

Like a good spooky movie.

[CHUCKLES]

How about us playing checkers
and look at TV at the same time.

THELMA:
That's fun.

Oh, I know what we could do.

We could all take off our shoes

and pick up some marbles
with our toes.

[LAUGHS]
J.J., got any marbles?

No, he done lost his marbles.

She isn't coming back,

is she?

I don't know for sure, honey.

She isn't.

Better call
Mrs. Carpenter.

Mama won't go to jail,
will she?

No, no, she's not.
I don't want her to go to jail.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Yes, everything's
gonna be all right.

See, Dr. J.J.'s
gonna spread cheer.

Calm the troubled waters with
his astonishing and amazing

psychological insight
to the situation.

Boogedy-boogedy-
boogedy-boogedy-boo!

Woods, Willona Woods.

I have a very important message
for Mrs. Carpenter.

When do you expect her back?

J.J., we have to cheer her up.
Do something.

All right.

Penny, you just happen
to be in luck.

Because now you can see
my world-famous impression

of a fly flying
through a fog of Black Flag.

Check this out.

Spraycan.

[IMITATES SPRAYING]

Flying.

* Oh, what a beautiful morning *

* Oh, what a beautiful day *

* I got-- *

[CHOKES AND WHEEZES]

[LAUGHING]

[COUGHING]

[CROAKING]

That's funny, J.J.

Die again.

Well, when she gets in tomorrow,
please have her call us.

It's very urgent.

Thank you very much.
Bye-bye.

Well, there's nothing more
we can do now.

Penny will have to
stay over.

Penny, how would you like
to stay over with someone

who likes you very,
very much.

Would like
nothing better

than to have a sweet,
dear little girl stay over?

Hm?
Oh, boy.

I get to sleep with J.J.

I just love your apartment,
Willona.

Oh, thank you, honey.

[PHONE RINGS]

Telephone, Willona.

WILLONA:
Will you get it for me, baby?

Hello?

Who's calling, please?

Just a minute.

I'll see if she's home.

Willona?
Hm?

It's some dude
named Elroy.

He wants to know
if you're free tonight.

Oh, that joker?

Try to get rid of him
for me, honey.

What will I say?
WILLONA: I don't care.

Tell him anything.

Uh, I'm sorry,
but Willona isn't home.

Where? Uh...

She went to India.

You see, her uncle died
and left her a million dollars.

And a castle.

But, see, she had
to go over there and live in it.

I think she's gonna
raise camels.

And she gets to have
servants and genies,

and a harem and everything.

So she won't be back
until tomorrow.

Bye, Mr. Joker.

Honey, what did you tell him?

I told him you couldn't make it.
Good girl.

Now, it's time
for you to go to bed.

Kick off those slippers
and climb under the covers.

Hey, we just wanted to say
good night to Penny.

WILLONA:
Oh, come on in.

Oh, good. J.J., tell me
a bedtime story.

I don't know any
bedtime stories.

Oh, yes, you do. Tell her
the one about the little bear.

[WHINY]
Aw, J.J. tell her
the bedtime story, J.J.

No, aw, please.
Shut up. No.

All right, all right.

Well, once upon a time,

there was this little girl
named Afrolocks.

[CHORTLES]

And she was gliding
through the ghetto

when she come upon
this brownie housing project.

And that's where
the three little bears lived.

Now, the smallest bear's
name was Michael.

Now, the ugliest
and most bodacious bear's name

was Thelma.

Now, the smoothest and most
savoir-faire bear's name

was J.J.

So the door
was halfway open,

so the little
girl walked in there.

And there's a pot of grits
cooking on the stove

that old Thelma
the bear cooked.

So she eating the grits.

She had to put
some salt and pepper

and some butter on there,
you know.

And just greasing down
all over her face...

With the grits all out in here
and it's all funky,

grits and everything,
you know?

All of a sudden the little girl
started getting pains

in her stomach.

She can't move.

Little girl getting
convulsions and everything.

She realized she had
the bubonic plague.

The end.

PENNY:
The end?

Whatever happened to

"They lived happily ever after"?

No one eats Thelma's cooking
and lives happily ever after.

J.J., you should
be shot.

[ALL LAUGH]

All right.
Goodbye, Penny, good night.

THELMA: Okay, bye, Penny.
Bye, Thelma.

PENNY:
Bye, J.J.

Oh, baby.

Well, time for
sleepy pie.

Sleepy time.

Can I say my prayers?

Oh, of course, baby.
Come on.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

If I should die before I wake,

I pray the Lord my soul to take.

God bless Michael, Thelma,

J.J. and Willona.

Aw, that's nice, sugar.

Good night, Willona.
Mm. Good night, my darling.

You gonna be warm enough?
Uh-huh.

Okay.

Good night.

And God,

please watch over Mama.

Amen.

Amen.

[LAUGHING]
That's silly.

THELMA:
Oh, hi, Penny. Come here.

I'd like you to meet
Mrs. Carpenter.

She's from the Department
of Children and Family Services.

Hi.
Hello, Penny.

Now you're gonna be
going with me.

We're gonna find you
a new home.

Okay.

Well, um,

I think Penny and I
had better be on our way.

I'll be in touch, huh?

Hey, wait, wait, wait, Penny.

Now, you take care
of yourself, honey, okay?

Be good.

Goodbye, Willona,
and thanks.

You're welcome.

Remember, I love you.

Bye, Thelma.

See you later, Penny.

Bye, Michael.

Bye, J.J.

I don't care what
other people say.

I think you're nice.

And I will always love you.

Bye, Penny.

Later.

Penny acted like
she goes to a foster home

every day of her life.
Mm-hm.

Yeah, I guess the kid's
been through so much,

nothing shakes her up
anymore.

You know, if we had enough room,
we'd take her ourselves.

Stick your mom and Carl
with four kids? Hm.

Honey, I don't know how Flo
has made it all these years

with you three.

I had Penny one night
and I barely made it.

Why, Willona?
What happened?

Well, uh, for one thing,

a groovy dude named Elroy
called me and wanted to go out,

and I couldn't go
because Penny was there.

He'll call again.

I hope not.

But that isn't all.
I couldn't get any sleep.

You know, Penny twisted
and turned the whole night.

She even screamed one time.
Cried out.

Girl, give me
the single life any time.

[ALL CHUCKLE]

Yeah, just imagine you
being a mother, Willona.

[LAUGHS]

Surprise! I'm back.

What are you doing here?

Where's Mrs. Carpenter?

I ditched her.

How'd you do that?

Easy.

When we got in the elevator,

I pushed the B button
for basement.

Then I scooted out
before the doors closed.

Mrs. Carpenter,
she's a nice lady,

but I don't wanna go
to a new home.

I wanna stay at my old one,

right here with J.J.

Look, Penny, you're
a fantastic chick and all,

but, you know,
I can't take care of you.

I know.

You're a lover,
not a mother.

But, Willona,
if you'd have me,

I'd love to
live with you.

[LAUGHS]
Well, Penny...

Well, you see,
Willona's not exactly the...

Well, what I mean is, uh,
she's hardly ever...

Um, well you see, she--

She probably
just couldn't do that.
