Hey, Thelma,
what's for dinner?

Onions with
chicken backs.

Mm. Sounds like another one
of your gourmet feasts.

Michael, it's gonna
have to be that way from now on

because we're gonna
have to cut down

on our household expenses.

What could be cheaper
than onions with chicken backs?

Onions without chicken backs.

Hi, y'all.

Hi, Willona.
Hey, Willona.

We finished the pillows
for you.

Hey, what's the matter here?

Somebody came here
and take away your gusto?

Huh?

Willona, J.J. called
with some bad news.

Oh, no!

He didn't get married, did he?

Oh, honey.

No, Penny.

He just lost
half his job.

Lost half his job?

But how can you lose half a job?

Simple.

When your boss tells you
to stay home two days a week.

It's only temporary.

His ad agency lost some money
on one of their accounts,

so they had to cut back.

Well, that's a shame.

But three days a week
is better than nothing.

At least he's still
the breadwinner,

even though

he's only bringing home
half a loaf.

Yeah, Willona,
but I feel really awful.

I went and bought a new dress
yesterday.

Honey, you didn't know.

I know, but I can't even
return it,

because they're doing
alterations on it.

Well, don't worry, child.

The family budget
will not sink or swim

because of one dress.

Yeah, Willona,

but you should see me
in that dress.

I look fantastic.
You wouldn't recognize me.

Does it come with a mask?

That's not nice, Gramps.

Funny, but not nice.

Poor J.J.

We'll have to cheer him up
when he gets home.

Well, Penny,

I think the only thing
that can cheer J.J. up

is Lola Falana
dancing on his navel.

I just hope she takes off
her tap shoes.

Well, toot the horn.
Ring the bell.

Brother J. is home,
and all is well.

Well, now, you don't look
like a guy

that got one foot in the door
of the unemployment office

to me, honey.

I'll lend you some money
from my piggy bank, J.J.

That's very nice of you,
Penny, but--

And I'll only charge you
8.5 percent interest.

Compounded annually.

I love this kid.

Well, family,

I've come up with a scheme
to get the green.

Ooh, good. I can't
wait to hear this.

Come on, J.J.
What?

Well, friends, family,
and Thelma...

We are taking in a boarder.
Ha-ha!

I could have waited.

J.J. has finally
flipped out.

Yeah. One flew into
the cuckoo's nest!

Mm.

Well, look here.

I stopped by
a supermarket, you know,

put an ad in the little
thing up there,

the bulletin board.

Told 'em that we had
a room to rent.

It's going to be
beautiful.

I told them all the details,
et cetera, et cetera.

What room?

What "et cetera, et cetera"?

You know it's against the rules
to sublet in the project.

If Bookman hears about it,

you'll be half out of a job
and whole out of an apartment.

J.J., what room?

Hey, look here.

Bookman won't even recognize
the apartment.

You know, I disguised it
a smidgen.

That must be
the "et cetera."

J.J., what room?

Thelma, will you stop saying
"what room"?

Not until I find out what room

this boarder
is supposed to stay in...

if there's going to be
a boarder.

Look here, Thelma.

I figure, without question,
your room--

Wrong!

Naturally, that's wrong.

Thus, I came up with Plan B.

That's where me and Michael
sleep in your room,

the outsider
takes the anteroom,

and you, Thelma, will lounge
in luxurious splendor

on our spanking-new, comfy,
cozy, contour couch!

J.J., you can take your comfy,
cozy, contour couch

and cram it!

Honey, please.

J.J., what about Plan C? Huh?

I don't recall a Plan C.

Do you recall
having your own room?

J.J., Plan C means
the boarder would take your room

and you and Michael
will sleep on the couch.

Uh-huh, that was Plan C.
Plan C.

Well, I was just joking.

I just wanted to test y'all
to see if y'all was alert.

Well, the whole thing
is ridiculous

and it's just
out of the question.

Yeah, besides, who wants
to have a strange person

living in our house,
anyway?

Michael, we already have
a strange person

living in our house.

J.J., I don't like it.

I don't like it
at all.

Hey, Willona,
I don't like it either.

But we gotta
make up for the green some way.

Besides, you may meet
a wonderful new friend.

And Bookman may come
with a wonderful new family

to move into this apartment
after he kicks you out.

Hey, Willona, if we don't do it,
and we don't pay the rent,

we get kicked out.

If we do do it,
and we get caught,

we still get kicked out.

I say, folks,
let's take a shot at it.

Well, J.J., all right.

I guess I get the message.

I guess we have to do it,
but I know one thing.

This boarder
better eat what we eat,

because I am not cooking him
anything special.

Thelma, he's just going
to have to get food poisoning

like the rest of us.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

A-ha! That's our new boarder
right now.

Puff up the couches.

Come on, Penny,
straighten yourself up here.

[CHUCKLING]

Well, the rental king
will handle everything.

Come on, Penny,
I can't bear to watch this.

Come on.

Well, well, well!

You have a room for rent?

For you, lovely lady,
we have a palace.

I can't bear
to watch it either.

Come on, babe.

Trouble.

Now, when would you like
to move in, lovely lady?

Now, hold on, mister.

Now, let me check
your place out.

Oh, go right ahead.

If there's anything
you don't like,

we'll gladly
redecorate.

I copied down your ad.

Where's the crystal
chandelier?

Crystal chandelier...
That must be the "et cetera."

Uh, crystal chandelier?

Uh, we sent the crystals out
to be re-crystallized.

No chandelier.

You ad said
"air conditioning."

Um, I don't see
a cooling unit.

Oh, yeah, see,

we don't have your normal
bodacious big machinery

around here.

But what we do have,
as you can see right here,

is our own private air shaft.

That's right.

See, we have 17 floors
of natural ventilation,

'cause we feel around here

nature's way
is the best way.

No air conditioning.

And I don't suppose
you have the microwave oven,

the enclosed terrace,
or the sauna, either.

Uh, just can't depend
on them delivery men.

Good day, mister.

Oh, wait a minute,
lovely lady.

If the room rent's too high,
we could lower it.

J.J., stop it.
J.J.!

Hold on.

If it's finances
that are giving you a problem,

I'll loan you the money,
personally.

Look, let me out of here. I've
had enough of your foolishness.

Freak!

I guess the rental king
got dethroned, huh?

Yeah, and you were right
about one thing, J.J.

Bookman will not
recognize this place

from that notice
you put up there.

Crystal chandeliers indeed.

Good thing she didn't ask
about the swimming pool.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I'll get this.
Oh, no, you won't.

And this time, I'll get it,
and you try to control yourself.

Hello.

Hi. We're the Dunbars.

We came to see
about the room for rent.

It's for our dad.

Oh, yeah. Come on in.
Okay.

Oh, it looks very nice, John.
Yeah.

There's no
chandelier.

Yeah, some dumb kid
printed it in the ad.

Well, he couldn't
have been too dumb.

He spelled it right.

Oh, thank you very much. Oh--

Could I see
the room?

Oh, sure.
Right through here.

Right this way, my lovely lady.

Dad has to move
from his present apartment,

and my wife and I...

Well, our place
is kind of small.

He'd have to sleep
on the couch.

You know how it is.

Yeah, I know how it is.

Dad's never had
a sick day in his life.

And he's very easy
to get along with.

Terrific sense of humor.

I think Dad'll like it
very much, John.

Oh, great. We'll take it.

Good. That's a month's
room and board in advance.

All right, then.

Uh, J.J., do they
have any references?

Yes, they do, Thelma.

Grant, Jackson and Hamilton.

It's all settled, then.

When would your father
like to move in?

The first
of the month?

Hey, how about
right now?

He's right outside
in the hallway.

Uh, this is a little quick,
you know.

We didn't have time
to even clean up the room

or anything.

That's right.

I didn't even get a chance
to take a dip in the pool.

Dad, these are the people
you'll be staying with.

This is my father,
John Dunbar, Sr.

Well, welcome
to the Evans Hilton!

Is it okay?

We wouldn't let you
stay here otherwise.

Well, I sure hope
you know what you're doing.

I'm Thelma Evans.

My brother, J.J.,
and my brother, Michael.

Well, Dad,
we got to be going,

but we're leaving you
in good hands.

That's right.

You're in good hands
with the Evanses.

Yeah, you're amongst friends
around here.

Sure.

That's what they said
to Julius Caesar,

and look what his friends
did for him.

Now, look, that kind of stuff
may happen in Detroit,

but this here's the Windy City,
Chi-Town, Chicago, you know?

We looks out for each other
around here.

Thank you.

We'll be back to visit Dad
in a day or two.

THELMA:
Okay. Bye-bye, now.

See you later, Dad.
Bye-bye.

Okay.

Uh, Thelma,
get the bags.

The D.A. will be
relieved, sergeant.

Looks like the perfect
safe house to me.

No place is perfect
in a case like this.

Remember that witness
we hid

with that bus driver
and his family?

Yeah.

Still can't figure out

how that Mob
tracked him down.

Yeah, well,

I hope old man Dunbar's
all in one piece

when we come back to get him
for the trial.

And that goes
for his new family too.

Hi, y'all.

Who's that?
Oh! Oh!

That's our neighbor,
Willona Woods.

Who's that,
the new boarder?

Yeah.

What's he doing,
looking for cockroaches?

Maybe he's trying
to acclimate himself

to his new, strange
surroundings.

Mr. Dunbar,

what are you doing
with that chair?

Are you going to go tame a lion?

Look, there's no lock
on that door over there,

so I figured

if I prop this up
under the doorknob,

couldn't nobody get in.

Hey, Mr. Dunbar,
you don't have to do that.

You're amongst friends
around here.

Well, you can never
be too careful.

You smoke, sonny?

Oh, no, Mr. Dunbar,
but thanks for asking.

Oh, I wasn't going
to give you one.

I just didn't want you
tampering with my cigar.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

MAN: Anybody home?

Oh, it's Booger!

[SHRIEKS]

Oh, my God. Save me!

I'm way ahead of you,
Mr. Dunbar.

Mr. Dunbar, make sure
you stay back here.

Don't make a sound,

'cause we don't want anyone
to know that you're back here.

You can say that again.

We don't want anyone to know
that you're back here. Go.

Hey, Bookman.
Whatcha doing here?

We didn't call
for the Goodyear blimp.

I came up to tell you guys that
we're cutting the hot water off.

They're fixing the boiler
tonight.

Again?

That boiler's been fixed
more times

than the Friday Night Wrestling.

Hey, who's smoking cigars
around here?

Oh, uh-- Uh, I am.

I always like a good cigar
after a hard day's work.

Huh. Then this must be
your first cigar in months.

Well, come on, clown.

What you gonna do,
wave it around or smoke it?

Uh, just so happens
I don't have a match.

Well, the Bookman do.

[COUGHS]

Be careful, man,

or I'm gonna have to get
a fire extinguisher

and put your face out.

That's so funny.

Put your face out...

Fire extinguisher...
That is so funny.

I got something funny
for you too.

What's that?

Put your face
out the door.

Boy, this cigar must be made
from dead rats.

All clear, Mr. Dunbar.
You can come out.

That jive janitor's gone.

That was the janitor?

Are you sure?

Well, we're not proud of it,
but we're sure.

Mr. Dunbar--

Why are you so jumpy?

Jumpy? I'm not jumpy.

[STAMMERS]

What did you do with my cigar?

Now, you smashed up
a perfectly good 15-cent cigar.

Uh, Mr. Dunbar, you've had
an exciting day.

Why don't you take
a little walk

around the block.

I'm not going
out of the house.

Well, maybe not now,
but later,

when you want to go out
and stretch yourself--

I'm never going
out of the house.

Thelma. Hey, y'all.

This dude say

he ain't never
going out of the house.

Well, you know, Mr. Dunbar,
people do need fresh air.

You could just sit
by the window.

Uh-uh.
I don't sit by no windows.

People can see you

when you're sitting
near the window.

Mr. Dunbar,
we're 17 flights up.

But they could be very tall.

Thelma, I think
we done got ourselves

a fruitcake.

Yeah, I got to run,
you know.

I gotta take my daughter
to her ice skating lesson.

I'll see you later, Mr. Dunbar.

I sure hope so.

Trouble.

Well, I'll go get
some rest, you know.

Wait up for me,
Thelma.

I want you to help me out
on my homework.

Hey, wait a minute.

What you all doing
leaving me alone here

with this cuckoo clock?

He's your boarder.

Bye-bye.

Well...
[SHRIEKS]

Hey, Mr. Dunbar,

why don't you say
we sit down here

and have a little talk?

I never sit
with my back to the door

or my head near the window.

Mr. Dunbar, you in
some kind of trouble

or something?

Well, now, I don't know
if I can trust you.

Oh, Mr. Dunbar.
You can trust me. Honest.

Just look at this face.

You right.

With a face like that,
you got to be honest.

But you got to promise me
something.

You got it.

Promise me
you won't throw me out

when I tell you.

Okay, you got my word.

Now, you been reading

about that big real estate
swindle?

You know, where all those people
lost their life savings?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Uh, those people got ripped off.
That dude, uh, Frazee.

Yeah, that was a terrible scene.

Yeah, well,
I was Frazee's bookkeeper.

You were?

Then you the one

that could put Frazee
in the pokey.

That's right.

That's why the police
are hiding me here in your house

until the trial comes up.

Well, you'll certainly
be safe here.

Sure.

Until Frazee finds out
where I am.

Then it's lights out.

Let's hope for your sake
he doesn't find you.

For your sake too,

because if it's lights out
for me,

it's lights out for us all.

So now what do we do?

I mean, we can't even call
the police.

They're the ones
who put him here.

Hey, Michael,
don't talk so loud.

Dunbar hears you,

he'll come running out here
like a scared chicken.

Well, J.J.,
you know Dunbar is right.

You can't hit a moving target.

Michael,
don't say the word "hit."

J.J., why don't you give him
his money back

and send him on his way?

Oh, Thelma, I can't do that.

I gave the man my word
I wouldn't kick him out.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Who's that?

Somebody's knocking at the door.

At this hour?
I mean...

I guess hit men
don't just work

from 9 to 5.

Go ahead, Thelma.
See what's happening.

Uh, who is it?

It's me, Bookman.

Ah, Bookman! That's the one
who can kick him out.

I get Bookman to kick him out,
I won't be breaking my word.

Wait a minute, J.J.

Then Bookman will put us
out in the cold.

Michael, better be chilled
than killed.

Hey, man, about the hot water.

The cold gonna be turned off
tonight too.

Come on in here, Bookman.
Yeah.

Glad to see you. Terrific.
Hey.

I must be in
the wrong apartment.

Oh, no, you're not.
No, no.

You know that rule y'all have
about taking in boarders?

Mm.

Well, we took in
a boarder.

You took in a boarder?

Yes. Uh-huh. Now,
just throw him out.

What kind of heartless dude
do you take me for?

I mean, the word is
all over the street

that your bony brother
got cut back at the office.

I know you need the bread.

You mean you're not gonna
kick him out?

No. Not until I find out
you working full time again.

And everybody says

Bookman likes to kick a man
when he's down.

I do.

But J.J.'s down so much
that it's boring.

That's the most
unreliable janitor in the world.

When you need him to be a rat,
he never is.

Oh, hi, Mr. Dunbar.

Did you get a nice little nap?

Nap? You mean nightmare.

I dreamed Frazee found me.

And he had a knife,
a rope and a gun.

He gonna kill you
multiple choice, huh?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[GASPS]

[SHRIEKS]

That's Frazee!

I'd know his knock
anywhere!

[ALL SHRIEKING]

Oh...

Wait a minute. Hold on.

What's everybody
so scared about?

We're in the confines
of our own home.

You know
what I mean?

Don't have to be worried
about no hoodlum coming in here.

I'll handle this.

The man of steel!

Yeah. What do you want?

Package for Evans.

Oh, yeah?

There you go. Very simple.
See that?

Package for Evans. Huh.

Package for Evans?
This could be a bomb!

I've seen the bomb squad
do this many times.

I'll neutralize...

I'll get it together.

It'll be all right.
It'll be all right.

It'll be all right.

I've neutralized the bomb.

Oh, J.J., my brand-new dress!

I'll neutralize you!

Hey, what is this?
Have we all gone mad?

I mean, bomb threats,
Mobs, revenge...

We act as though
a hit man is going to be here

any minute.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[ALL SHRIEKING]

You get the door, J.J.

Yeah, you get the door.

You've lived the longest.
Go on.

Okay, now, just maintain cool.

Y'all getting upset
over nothing.

This is just a Fig Newton
of your imagination.

I'll tell this guy
where it's at.

I'm looking
for Mr. Dunbar.

Uh, that movie's playing
down the street.

I said "Dunbar," not "Goodbar."

Frazee!

Oh, hello, Dunbar.

It wasn't easy, but I found you.

Don't shoot.

We just washed the floor!

I have something for you,
Dunbar.

[ALL SCREAMING]

Twenty-five thousand
dollars.

Huh?

I want you to go
to Mexico

and forget about testifying
against me.

Twenty-five thousand?
Shut up, toothpick!

This is between
Dunbar and me.

What do you say,
Dunbar?

How 'bout it, pal?

You know, I don't like the idea

of you offering
my man Dunbar here

a bribe.

This is a man of honesty,
integrity, bravery and courage.

Matter of fact,

I think I can safely state
from my position

that rather than take
your dirty money,

Dunbar here
would rather have you shoot him.

Hey. I'll speak
for myself.

Go ahead.
Go ahead, Dunbar.

Tell him about all those people
you gonna get their money back.

Tell him about
all those people

you gonna give
their day in court to.

Tell him about all those
poor people,

and you're gonna get
their money back.

Go ahead, Dunbar,
tell him.

You right, J.J.
I shouldn't take that money.

That's right.

But I am.

Look, I'm sorry,

but this is more money
than I ever seen in my life.

Come on, Dunbar.

Get your things
and get out of here.

I'm putting you on the plane
to Mexico.

Hope you get down to Mexico

just in time
for the Kaopectate festival.

J.J., I love you so much
for what you did last night,

I'm giving you two helpings
of pancakes.

Thelma, if you loved me at all,
you wouldn't give me any.

Oh...

You know, I'm just sorry
that Mr. Dunbar got away.

Thelma, he didn't get away.

Matter of fact,
when he was leaving,

I slipped two of your cookies
into his pocket.

So that means
that when he got to the airport,

they must have arrested him

for concealing
a deadly weapon.

Oh, J.J.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

Cello.

Oh, hello there, Mr. Galbraith.

Yeah, nice to hear from you,
boss.

Huh? What?

You're giving my five days
a week back?

You know there,
Mr. Galbraith,

I was thinking
about quitting that job.

Hey! Give me
that phone, fool!

Hello, Mr. Galbraith?

He'll be back.

And thank you
very much.

Okay, bye-bye.

Hey, Thelma,
what'd you do that for?

We don't need that job.

All we got to do

is reel in a customer
for next month.

And then after that,

we can rent
some more apartments.

Then after that,

we can rent some more,
and some more.

And it gets bigger and bigger,

until one day,
we'll own our own ghetto!

Oh, J.J.

Once is enough.
