- Hi, Pearl.
- Hi, Pearl!
- Hi team, how'd it go today?
- Great.
- Wonderful.
- Oh, they're really
turning the work out Pearl.
They're great.
These kids have
taken to my business
like a duck takes to water.
- Well personally, I
am one tired duck.
My tail feathers are dragging.
- Stop complaining, Arnold.
- I'm not complaining.
It's just that all day long
it's Arnold go for this,
Arnold go for that.
I was so busy going I
never got a chance to go.
- Well listen, I am
really proud of you
and as a matter of fact,
I'm gonna give
all of you a raise.
- A raise!
- I thought that'd perk
up your tail feathers.
- Aw, thanks dad.
You're my kinda boss.
- You're my kind too.
Does that offer extend
to the household help?
- Well as a matter
of fact Pearl,
no way.
But I promise to think about it.
- Thanks.
Oh, Kimberly.
I almost forgot.
You got a call from
an employment agency.
The number's by the phone.
- Thanks, Pearl.
- An employment agency?
What's that all about, Kimberly?
- Well daddy, I was gonna
tell you about it tonight
but well,
I'm thinking of
getting another job.
- Why?
And quit my company?
- Yeah.
- Why would you want to do that?
- Kimberly, that's a
terrible thing to do.
You're part of the team!
Dad, can I have her raise?
- Kimberly, I don't understand.
Aren't you happy working for me?
- Yeah, what could be
better than working for dad?
You've got it made!
- That's the
whole point, Willis.
I don't want everything
handed to me on a silver platter.
I'll never know
if I'm doing well
or if I'm just getting by
because I'm the boss's daughter.
- If you really wanna
know, I can tell you.
I'm serious Arnold.
I wanna do something on my own.
I wanna get out and
taste life as it really is.
- Well Arnold and I
did plenty of tasting
when we lived in Harlem and
I don't want a second helping.
- Me neither.
I plan to make it to
the top the easy way.
I'm gonna start there.
- Dad, you understand
what I mean don't you?
- Yes, I think I do.
Apparently you've
given this a lot of thought
and if you really
think you need to try it.
Well, I won't stand in your way.
As a matter of fact,
I admire you for it.
You have my blessing.
- Dad, thanks.
You're wonderful.
I wasn't sure how you'd take it.
- Well, I'm a modern parent.
I try to be broad-minded.
And besides, I'll
be saving a salary.
- Oh, I better call
this agency back.
- Well Kimberly what kind
of job are you gonna get?
- Well I asked them for
something in a nice boutique
or maybe a gift shop.
Oh, hello?
Yes, this is Kimberly
Drummond returning your call.
Yes?
You got a job for me?
Well that's great!
Where?
The Hula Hut?
What's that?
- It ain't Guccis.
- Those are places where
you get volcano burgers.
Two of those and
you belching fire!
- Oh I see.
Is that all you have?
Well can I think about it?
Okay, I'll call back.
Thanks.
Bye.
Who wants to work
in a fast food joint?
- Too rough for you huh?
You want to taste life but
you want it to be sweet.
- That's not true, Willis.
- Then why won't
you take the job,
Miss Free-And-Independent?
I bet you wouldn't last
a week as a waitress.
- That's right.
You'd probably faint at the
sight of a dead onion ring.
- Alright, wise guys.
I'll show you!
- Kimberly, you don't have
to prove anything to us.
- Maybe I want to
prove it to myself.
I'll take that job.
- That's great!
A hamburger place
is perfect for you.
You're always
sittin' on your buns.
- Thank you very much.
Hey Julio, why don't you
thaw out some wiki wiki dog
before the lunch crowd roles in?
- Ey, wiki wiki comin'
up quickie quickie.
- And bring out a load of
cameyameya-mayonnaise.
- Got it.

- Well, I'm ready.
- Hey, look at you.
Princess Papuli
has plenty papaya.
- I hope it looks
alright, Brian.
It is a little tight.
- Only where it should be.
- Well, what would
you like me to do?
- Don't move.
I wanna remember
you like this always.
With the moon
shining in your hair,
and the gentle trade winds
blowing kitchen
grease into your face.
- I'll bet you say that
to all the native girls.
- No.
None of the other natives
ever made me this restless.
Here.
For luck.
- Thanks Brian, I...
- It's an old Hawaiian custom.
Hey, your shoulder
bow isn't tied quite right.
I love your perfume.
- I'm not wearing any.
- Then I love your skin.
And don't tell me
you're not wearing any.
- Brian, shouldn't
I clean a table
or french a fry or something?
- Don't interrupt the
boss while he's working.
- Look at this poor plant.
Oh gosh, I better water it.
- It's plastic, Kim.
- Well, maybe I should
go out and buy a real one.
- Hey, relax.
Come on.
Be nice.
I can make things real
easy for you around here.
- Brian, I don't
want it to be easy.
I just want to be treated
like a regular employee
and that's all.
- Come on, Kimberly.
- Brian!
Come on, control yourself.
This is a Hula Hut!
- Right.
And it takes two to hula.
- Bri...
Brian!
Come on, stop it!
Brian, leave...
Look, will you leave me alone?
Let go of me!
- Not yet!
- There's another
Hawaiian custom for you!
I quit.
- Up to your old tricks
again huh ketchup face?
- Mind your own business, Julio.
- Look man, I don't know
why she took this job
in the first place.
She sure doesn't need it.
- What do you mean?
- I mean, she's loaded.
Her father owns
a big corporation.
- How do you know that?
- I was talking to her earlier.
Man, didn't you see the
address on her application?
She lives on Park Avenue.
- Park Avenue?
Really?
- That is one wealthy wahini.
- Thanks Mr. Drummond,
I owe you one.
- Well, it was lucky
thing I caught it.
What happened?
- Something scared me.
- Oh really?
What?
- This.
Arnold!
- I'm sorry dad!
I didn't mean to do that.
That was an accident!
- I'll clean it up Mr. Drummond.
- Thank you.
Arnold!
Do you know the story of of
Miss Muffet and the spider?
- Yeah!
- You better get
that thing out of here
or you're gonna
have a very sore tuffet.
- Look who I met in the lobby.
Miss Hula Hut.
- Kimberly, what are
you doing at home?
I thought you were working?
- She couldn't
take it, she quit.
- Quit?
What happened honey?
- She squirted ketchup
in the manager's face.
- Good thing she quit.
A few more days of that
and she would have
been fired anyway.
- Honey, what in the
world would make you do
a thing like that?
- He was hitting on her
and he tried to kiss her.
- Willis, do you mind?
I can speak for myself.
He started hitting on me
and then he tried to kiss me.
- Well we know that.
But what else did he do?
- Looks like he tore
off half her clothes.
- Honey, I know you're
only working part time
but couldn't they give
you a whole outfit?
- Oh, I think she
looks real cute.
Kimberly, I wish I
had a figure like yours.
Or like yours Mr. Drummond.
- Kimberly, come
and sit down over here
and tell me exactly
what happened.
- Well daddy, at
first I liked Brian.
That's the boss.
He seemed so nice
and he's such a fox.
And then all of sudden
he turns into an octopus.
Why is that all good
looking guys think
that girls are just
gonna fall all over them?
- Not all of us think that.
- Listen Kimberly, if
it'll make you feel better,
I'd go down there and feed
that dude a knuckle burger.
- I'll help you.
Nobody messes with our sister.
- Yeah.
- Thanks guys but I
can take care of myself.
- Well it sounds as if you
handled it pretty well, honey.
But if hat ever happens again,
don't throw ketchup.
Use Tabasco sauce.
- Excuse me, sir.
Are you by any
chance Mr. Drummond?
- Yes, by every chance.
What can I do for you?
- Don't worry about your
sarong, you'll get it back.
I'm sure you need it for the
next unsuspecting maiden
you sacrifice to
the god of letch.
- Kimberly, is this the guy
who was hitting on you?
- Yes.
- Young man, I think you
owe my daughter an apology.
Your behavior
was way out of line.
- Yeah, she says you're
all handsome pucker sucker.
- Look, I understand
how you all feel.
Especially you Kimberly.
I came to apologize.
I can't begin to tell you
how awful I feel about this.
I mean it, I'm really sorry.
I acted like a complete fool.
- You probably
had a lot of practice.
- He's trying to apologize.
Let's give him a chance.
- Young man, keep apologizing.
Kimberly, keep listening.
I'll keep workin'.
- Kimberly, I don't
know what to say.
There's no excuse for
coming on to you like that.
- Oh really?
Don't you think I'm attractive?
- That's the problem.
You're too darn attractive.
Especially in that outfit.
I got a little carried away
and made a real jerk of myself.
- I'll say one thing for him.
He's an honest jerk.
- Kimberly, would you
please accept these?
Roses.
- And they're not plastic.
- She's not gonna fall
for that old gimmick.
- Oh thank you, Brian.
- She's gonna fall for it.
- Oh, these are just beautiful.
This is really
thoughtful of you.
- It's the least I can do.
Will you come back to work?
- Well, I guess I should
give you another chance.
- Not so fast, Kimberly.
Excuse me.
Now, look Brian.
Flowers alone ain't
gonna do it my man.
Offer her a raise and you
might have a little deal here.
- If that's what it
takes, she's got it.
- Now you're talkin'.
Okay, Kimberly.
You can go back to work.
- Thanks, Arnold.
- Don't mention.
And don't forget my 10%.
- Look Brian, you better
not start hitting on her again.
Or somebody might hit on you.
- Don't worry.
I've learned my lesson.
- Good.
- Oh by the way Arnold,
I've got some coupons here
for some free burgers
and stuff for the Hula Hut.
Would you like them?
- Would I like free hamburgers?
Kimberly, I think
you've totally misjudged
this lovely person.
- By the way boss,
I forgot to tell you.
Jane called.
She sounded pretty mad.
- That's her problem.
Kimberly, got a second?
- Oh, sure.
- I've got something for you.
- What is it?
- Open it.
- Brian, a bracelet.
It's beautiful!
What's the occasion?
- It's our first anniversary.
We've been dating
one week today.
- One week, seven
hours and 42 minutes.
Approximately.
- It's okay, boss.
I'll take his order since
you got your hands full.
What will it be?
- Someday I'd like to buy
you a real nice present.
That is if I ever
earn enough money.
- You will.
- I hope you're right.
I don't wanna get
stuck in a place like this
for the rest of my life.
I want to get someplace.
But you need a little luck.
Not to mention connections.
- Well hey, you know
Brian, I was just thinking.
My dad's always looking
for bright young men
for his executive
training program.
Would you interested
in something like that?
- Would I?
But I couldn't ask
you to do that for me.
- Why not?
- Daddy thinks a lot of you.
- Besides, what are friends for?
Especially close friends.
- I'd say very close friends.
Julio.
Cover for us.
We're goin' out
for a bite to eat.
- Man, what's the
matter with the food here?
That was a dumb question.
- Aloha!
- Yeah, aloha and ohama
homa and nuka nuka
and Hawaii to you.
- Watch your language!
- What can I do for you?
- I want to collect on
these free coupons.
- Sure, what'll it be?
- What's an eruption burger?
- Well, it's like
a volcano burger
but if you don't eat it fast,
the bun dissolves.
- Great.
I'll take two.
And also give me
dog and grass skirt
and a large coconut surf slurp.
- You got it.
- Oh, and heavy on
the lava lava sauce.
- Little brave kid.
Comin' right up.
Hi, Jane.
- Okay, where is that rat?
- What rat?
- Come on, Julio.
You know who I'm talkin' about.
- Oh, that rat.
He just went to pick
up some supplies.
- When he gets back you
tell him that I want to see him.
He's been avoiding
me all week long
and I'm not gonna
put up with it.
- I'll tell him you were here.
- I got him this job
and I can get him fired.
All I have to do is
speak to my father.
You tell him that
when he gets back.
Got it?
- Got it.
- Oy.
She's really burnin'.
And she hasn't
even tasted the food.
What's her problem?
- You see the
boss is droppin' her
'cause he found this Park
Avenue cutie with a richer daddy.
It's goodbye Jane,
hello Kimberly.
- What you talkin' about mister?
- You wouldn't understand.
You're too young.
- I understand
more than you think.
Willis, I've been waiting
for you for an hour.
Where have you been?
- Playing basketball.
You shoulda seen me, Arnold man.
I had move that made
Doctor J look like a nurse.
- Willis, Willis, I
gotta talk to you.
- Wait a minute, Arnold.
Jesus.
Here.
Later man.
I gotta shower and pick
Charlene up for a movie.
- Willis, this is an emergency.
- Alright little brother,
what's the problem?
- Kimberly's boyfriend,
Brian's got another girlfriend.
He's burning the
candle at both ends.
And one of those
ends is Kimberly's.
- How do you know
he's got another girl?
- I was down at
the Hula Hut today.
I heard it with my own eyes.
I mean, I saw it
with my own ears!
- Now calm down, Arnold.
- Willis, that Brian's
nothing but a gold digger
and he's using Kimberly to
shovel his way into dad's wallet.
- Are you sure?
- Am I sure?
Do you think
you're good lookin'?
- You're sure.
- Willis, we've got
to tell Kimberly.
- I know we should but I
don't think she'll believe it.
- Why not?
- You don't understand women.
See, when a girl's
hung up on a guy,
he could be the biggest
louse in the world
and she'd still think
that he was wonderful.
- Then Charlene must
think you're a saint.
- Oh Pearl, did you find those
cuff links I was looking for?
- They're right here,
Mr. Drummond.
- Oh good.
That's great.
Where were they?
- In the washing machine.
I always pan for gold
after the rinse cycle.
- Hi daddy.
Ooh, you look very handsome.
- Thanks.
I'm all showered and
powdered and smellin' sweet.
- You're date will be
all over you, daddy.
- I hope not.
I hardly know Mr. Yamashiro.
- Go on, goodnight honey.
- Goodnight daddy.
Oh daddy, wait,
can I talk to you?
It will only take a minute.
- Sure, what's up?
- It's about Brian.
- The burger tycoon?
What's the problem?
Don't tell me you
two are in a pickle.
- That was awful daddy.
- Yeah, I don't
relish it myself.
- Daddy, be serious.
Now, you know
Brian is a good worker.
Very intelligent and one day
he'd make a great executive.
All he needs is some training.
- Now let me take
one wild guess.
Are you hinting that
I ought to put him
into my executive
training program?
Why daddy, the thought
never entered my mind.
But it's a great idea.
- Well, from what
I've seen of Brian,
I think he'd be an
asset to the program.
Have him call me Monday.
- Oh dad, thanks!
You're wonderful.
- It's a burden I've
learned to live with.
Bye honey.
- Bye daddy!
Have a nice night.
Okay.
- Kimberly, we've
got to talk to you.
- Sure, what about?
- You tell her Willis.
Breaking hearts
is your specialty.
- You tell her.
You're the one who heard it.
- Heard what?
Hey, what are you
guys talkin' about?
- Well...
Your boyfriend Brian, I've
found out he's just using you
to get into dad's company.
- Oh, Arnold.
That's ridiculous.
He wouldn't do such a thing.
Besides, his getting into
dad's company was my idea.
- I bet he just made it
look like it was your idea.
And this isn't the first
time he's done this to a girl.
- That's how he got
the job at the Hula Hut.
By dating the owner's daughter.
That man is nothin'
but a two bit gigolo.
- Oh, I don't
believe that Arnold.
- You better.
Arnold saw her.
And her name is Jane.
- So what if he went
with another girl once?
He's going with me now.
I don't want to hear anymore.
- I told you she
wouldn't believe it.
- You're right, Willis.
I don't understand women.
And I've read everything
I could get my hands on.
- Business is pretty
slow today huh, boss?
- Who cares?
I don't have to worry
about it much longer.
- That's right.
Movin' up to Park Avenue, right?
- You better believe it.
I'll be shedding this Hawaiian
monkey suit pretty soon.
Goodbye Dan h*.
Hello Pierre Cardin.
- Hi!
- Hi, honey.
What's the matter?
- Brian, there's
something bothering me.
- What's that?
- Who's Jane?
- Jane?
- I think I'll go suck
on a pineapple.
- Well?
- Jane's just a friend.
- That's all?
- Well, we dated
a couple of times.
Nothing serious.
Anyway, that's all over now.
How did you know about Jane?
- I heard she was in
here lookin' for you.
- Yeah, that's
what Julio told me.
I guess she's still
trying to hang on.
She'll get over it.
- Are you sure she still
doesn't mean anything to you?
- Listen.
There's only room
for one girl in my life.
And she's in my arms right now.
- Oh, Brian I'm so glad.
'Cause there's something
I have to tell you.
I'm afraid my father's
company has cancelled
its executive training program.
- Cancelled it?
- Yeah, I'm afraid
there's no way
I can get you in
the company now.
- But I thought it
was sure thing?
- Yeah, so did I.
But with business
as bad as it is,
they're cutting back on things.
- Boy, this is
really a let down.
- Well, Brian.
Look on the bright side.
You still have me and your
job here at the Hula Hut, right?
- Yeah.
Right.
Listen.
I guess there's something
I should tell you too.
It's not quite over
between me and Jane.
And well, she just might
come in here and cause a scene
and well, I wouldn't
want to embarrass you
or anything like that.
So maybe we
should just, you know.
Cool it for a while.
You understand, don't you?
- Yeah, Brian.
I understand.
- Well honey, you really
shouldn't blame yourself for this.
- Daddy, I just feel so foolish
letting him use me like that.
How could I have been
so naive and stupid?
- You didn't mean to.
You were just being yourself.
You know what I mean.
- Look, he had us fooled too.
- That's right, including
me and I consider myself
to be a pretty good
judge of character.
- There was always
something I didn't like
about that low down vermin.
- Kimberly, I know what
you're going through
but you know, these
things do happen.
It's part of life.
It feels bad right now
but you'll get over it.
- I know I will daddy.
- I'll tell you why.
You still got your
job at my company.
You can forget all about that.
Everything will be
the way it was before.
- Dad, I can't come back
to your company now.
I can't let one bad
experience stop me.
I've got to keep trying
to make it on my own.
- I was hoping you'd say that
but I had to make
the offer anyway.
- Well, I'm sadder but a lot
wiser about guys like Brian.
- Yeah that low down dirty
rotten two-faced two timer.
The nerve of him
trying to buy my love
with these crummy coupons.
- Are you gonna
tear them up, Arnold?
- No.
But when I've eaten
those free hamburgers,
my heart won't be in it.
