08x21 - The Strays: Part 2

[bunniefuu]

To a deluxe apartment
in the sky

We finally got
a piece of the pie

Fish don't fry
in the kitchen

Beans don't burn
on the grill

Took a whole
lot of tryin'

Now we're up
in the big leagues

As long as we live
it's you and me, baby

Ain't nothin' wrong
with that

To a deluxe apartment
in the sky

We finally got
a piece of the pie

NARRATOR: Last week on
The Jeffersons...

George wanted to get Louise
something special
for their anniversary.

See, I want to get
another diamond put
in Weezy's wedding ring

without her knowing
about it, but I can't.

Why not?

'Cause she never lets it
out of her sight.

I mean, let's face it,
Florence,

when George Jefferson
gives somebody something,

it's not easy
for them to part with it.

That would explain
this headache I've had
for the last seven years.

NARRATOR: But the ring
wasn't all that was
on George's mind.

One of his stores
had been robbed.

Well, I just got here myself
only minutes ago,

but so far
the evidence points
to one thing.

-What?
-All your money is gone.

What evidence
have you got?

All your money is gone.

NARRATOR:
George went out to examine
the scene of the crime.

I wonder who this watch
belongs to.

Me! But I have a feeling

I'm gonna like yours
much, much better.

George was embarrassed
about being robbed
by a girl street g*ng,

so he hired
a tough bodyguard
named Hugo.

What are we doing tonight,
Mr. Jefferson?

We're gonna go out and
scare some girls.

You got me a date?

They went back to
the alley to throw a scare
into the g*ng,

but it didn't quite
work out that way.

Oh, the little girl's
got a Kn*fe.
That's supposed to scare me?

My man here eats
knives for breakfast.
Right, Hugo?

Hugo?

Nice, thanks.

Hey, wait a minute.
That don't belong to you.

I know.
Now it belongs to me.

I'm telling you,
it's for my wife.
It's for our anniversary.

I'm your wife.

Hey, wait a minute,
you can't...

Oh.

I said I'm your wife.

C'mon, let's get out of here.

NARRATOR: And now,
The Jeffersons continues.

Help, somebody help.

Officer Barrett?

Mr. Jefferson?

Hey, I'm glad
to see you.

Man, what are you
doing here?

I was trying to chase
off the Strays.

You're hurt!
Get an ambulance.

C'mon, you got to
get to a doctor.

No, no, no.
They got my wife's ring.
I gotta go after 'em.

Uh-uh. The only place
you're going is to a doctor.

But you don't understand.
Tomorrow's our anniversary.

No, you don't understand.
If you don't
get to a doctor,

you ain't gonna
have an anniversary.

What do you want
this time, Mr. Jefferson?
I'm busy.

May I have some mustard
on my sandwich, please?

Ain't that the mustard
right there in front of you?

Yeah, but to reach it
I'd have to bend.

And a person
that's been stabbed

is not supposed to
bend.

Is that what you want,
Florence?

You want to
make me bend?

Only if its fourth down,
and I could punt.

C'mon, Florence.
Don't give me a hard time.
I'm hurt.

Oh, you ain't hurt.
The doctor said you're fine.

All you got is
a little flesh wound.

Are you kidding?
I was at death's door.

Well, apparently death
looked through the peep hole,

forgot to look down

and figured
it was a prank.

-Mustard, please, Florence.
-Oh, forget it.

Weezy said
to take care of me.

-What?
-Ketchup.

Where you going?

I'm going where I can
get some peace and quiet
for a change.

I'm going bowling.

Oh, Mrs. Jefferson.
I'm sorry,
are you okay?

-Yes.
-Good, then excuse me.

Is something wrong,
Florence?

ALL: Oh.

Oh. Before you leave,
have you finished cleaning
my wedding ring?

Oh, uh,

uh, no, but you
should be getting it
pretty soon now.

I'll see you later.
I'm going bowling.

But you hate bowling.

Look, bowling is the
only place where I get
to knock down things

the size of your husband.

Oh, hello, George.

Are you feeling
all right, George?

Oh, how're you
feeling, sweetheart?

Oh, I feel fine.

Hey, nice looking sandwich.

Tom and I brought you
this box of candy.

Yes, and it's from my
favorite candy store, George.

They even have tables
so you can eat it
right there.

Thanks a lot.
What's in the bag, Weez?

Oh, it's your
anniversary present.

But you don't have to
worry about that now.

I just want to
make sure that
you are comfortable.

I'm comfortable. Ha.

Are you sure?
Uh, maybe I should puff up
your pillows a little.

No, I feel fine.

Are you absolutely sure?

Positive.

You jackass!

What'd I do?

Not you. You!

What'd I do?

How dare you risk
your life over a couple
hundred lousy dollars!

Do you realize that g*ng
could've k*lled you?

That's right.
What in the world
were you thinking of?

I mean, if you don't
have any consideration
for your own life,

the least you could do
is have consideration for
those who know you.

-Exactly!
-And respect you.

-Exactly!
-And love you!

Look, Weez,
I wasn't trying
to cause any trouble.

I just wanted to go
down there and scare
those girls, that's all.

My only mistake
was I took Hugo.

I should have hired
a bodyguard that had
an I.Q. higher than an onion.

Well, you shouldn't have
gone down there at all.

Well, now,
in defense of George,

a real man can only
be pushed so far.

Thank you, old buddy.

Ah, yes. Well, I've had
to stand up for myself
too, you know.

You know, for instance,
I'm reminded of
a nasty little incident

that happened to me
at work a few years ago.

Oh, no. Not that
Dave Taylor story again!

Well, you see, Dave Taylor
and I were standing in
line at the coffee machine.

I was standing ahead
of Dave, and while I was
pouring my coffee

he suddenly snatched
the last packet of Cremora.

Well, you know me,
I'm as easy going
as the next guy.

But a stunt like that
really fries me.

So I said,
"Dammit Dave, that's my
non-dairy creamer."

You didn't.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
I sure did.

Well, Dave got
red as a beet.

He said,
"Oh well, okay, Tom.
Here, you take it."

I said, "That's okay, Dave.

"Luckily, I have a few extra
packets in my wallet."

You really said that to him?
Don't you think
you might have been

a little hard
on old Dave?

Oh, maybe so.
But a man's gotta
live with himself.

Unfortunately, so do I.

-Willis, do me a favor.
-Oh, what, George?

Don't ever defend me again.

Listen, let's get our
minds off this and gift wrap
George's present.

Oh, great idea.
Oh, you're gonna
love this present.

Tom, please.
It's supposed to
be a surprise.

Oh, I know that.

George, don't you think
it's about time
you got a new robe?

Tom!

I didn't say anything.
Now he thinks
he's getting a new robe.

He has no idea
you bought him pajamas.

Tom!

I'm sorry.
Well, at least I didn't
say they were silk.

Oh, Tom.

-Silk pajamas. I wonder
what color they are?

TOM: Hey, Helen, let go.
At least I didn't tell him
they were red!

-Officer Barrett.
-Mr. Jefferson.

Give me the ring.

Certainly is
a lovely home.

Thanks. Thank you.
Give me the ring.

The view's nice too.

Officer Barrett,
read my lips.

Give me my wife's
wedding ring.

We couldn't find the ring,
Mr. Jefferson.

What? You promised me you
were gonna bring it.

At the time, Jefferson,
you were stabbed.

You were lying
in an alley, bleeding.

I didn't want
to depress you.

I'm going down
to that jail myself.

You'd be wasting your time.
We had to let the girls go.

What?

We released them
to the custody
of some relatives.

But they stabbed me!

These kids
are minors, Jefferson.

That means
in the eyes of the law

they're not anymore
responsible for their actions
than they would be

if they were
two years old.

Oh, beautiful.

Well, you do have
the right to press charges.

But it won't make much
difference anyway.

The way those things
are backed up down
at juvenile,

by the time
the case came up,

most of those kids will be
on social security anyway.

I hope to be
in the Bahamas myself.

See, I got my eye
on this sweet piece of
beachfront down by the...

Can't you do
anything about it?

Well, if I can get a loan,

I could probably
finance the rest though...

I'm talking about
finding the ring.

Well, about all we can
do legally is keep
an eye on their clubhouse.

Where's that?

It's in an abandoned
building on the corner
of Prospect and Greene.

We've been
watching it on and off.
No one's been there all day.

If something breaks,
we'll let you know.
All right?

Yeah, well, I know
you're doing your best.

Hey, it's nice
to hear you say that.

'Cause I try
to do my best.

I guess that's why
I became a cop.

I like being there
when people need me.

Well, look,
if I find out anything,
I'll call you.

What's your home number?

It's unlisted.

Uh, Jefferson.
Happy anniversary, man.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, uh, George, do you
have any scotch tape?

Yeah, look in
the drawer there.

What? Oh, okay.

Oh, yeah,
here it is. Thanks.

You know, George,

your getting knifed
by those girls

made me reflect on
the Dave Taylor incident.

I mean, what if Dave
had refused to give up
the Cremora?

I mean, I wouldn't
want to punch out
an year old man.

That is something
to think about.

-Mmm-hmm.
- Look,
if Weezy looks for me,

-tell her I stepped out
for a minute.
-All righty.

Well, uh,
where are you going?

To get Weezy's
anniversary gift.

Hello?

Hello.

Hello.

Damn! Look at all this stuff.

Boy, these kids
are big time.

Oh.

My store keys! Dynamite!

Oh, here's my wallet!
Look at this. It's empty.

Figures. Well, at least
they left my picture
of the Pointer Sisters.

That ring's
gotta be here somewhere.

Calculator. I need
one of these.

Hi, uh, I'm George
from, uh, Con Edison.

Have you been
paying too much
for your utilities?

-Shut up.
-You got it.

Against the door.
Come on!

Come on, move it!

Hey, look,
I'm a pro at this.
So I'll help you out.

Back left pocket.

Okay.
Turn around now. Slow.

Hey, do you know
you're pregnant?

Shut up!

-Okay.
-What are you doing here?

Uh, I used to live here
about years ago.

And I, I left
the tub running.

I came back
to see if it was still,
you know, still running.

Everything's okay.
I'll see you later.

Freeze. Now, move
away from the door

and sit down
over in the...

-Say, you all right?

I'm not gonna
tell you again, man.

Move away from the door!

Okay. I'm moving.

Over there and hurry up.

Look, if you need
some help or something

I could always call
an ambulance.

You a doctor?

No. I'm a dry cleaner.
Jefferson Cleaners,
you know,

grape stains, no problem.
Grease stains, no problem.

-Sit down.
-No problem.

What were you looking for?

Uh, well, my wife's
wedding ring.

One of your friends
stole it from me.

I don't know nothing
about that.

Look, I'll tell you what.
Just tell me how much
you want for the ring.

Tell me what you want,
I'll write you a check.

I said I don't know.

Hey, you need a doctor.

I don't need nothing.
We're just gonna
sit here

till Rachel gets back
and then we're,

Hey, you sure you okay?
You all right?
What can I do?

I think the baby's coming.

I can't do that.

Can't you postpone it
till you're feeling
a little better? Huh?

Hello in there.

Don't come out.
Nothing's happening out here.

Go back to sleep.

-

-It hurts.
-I know.

-

Sympathy pains.

I'll be okay. Look,
I read in a book

that someplace
that you're supposed to be

laying down when
you're having a baby.

Why don't you just
lie down right there?

Don't worry about it.
It's okay.

Everything's gonna
be all right.
It's no big thing.

You delivered
a baby before?

No, but I've met
a lot of 'em.

My name is George.
What's yours?

-Wanda.
-Oh, hi, Wanda.
That's a pretty name.

Wanda, look,
you have a telephone?

-No.
-Okay.

I'm going
to get an ambulance.
I'll be right back.

No, no, please.
Don't leave me.

Well, look, okay,
okay, Wanda.

Look, Wanda,
I have to time
your contractions.

Do you have a watch?
I know you got one
'cause you stole mine.

Over there in the drawer.

Okay. I'll be right there.

Don't go away.
Don't go away.

Okay. Oh, it's :
and partly cloudy.

Wow, these
watches do everything.

-I gotta get one of these.

-Okay, hold it, hold it.

Okay, Wanda,
I want you to
breath like this.

Okay? Good.

Good. Again.
Again. Again.

Great, great, great.
Feel better?

-No.
-Me neither.

Put this under
your head, okay?
Easy, easy.

Now how long
have you known
that maniac, Rachel?

She's my sister.

Ah, sweet kid.

I'm a little scared.

Yeah, I know, I know,
but everything's
gonna be okay.

I promise you.
Just try to relax.

Everything's gonna
be fine.

Oh, boy.

Thank God you got here.

-Shut up!
-Again, shut up.

Wanda, what's the matter?

The baby's coming.

God! Now?

What is he doing here?

Well, I was coming back
to get my wife's...

You know,
you're a real stupid man.

You think
I'm proud of that?

And you talk too much.

Get him out of here.

Look, no!
I came here
for that ring.

And I'm not
leaving without it.

So I'm gonna ask
you one more time,

-you gonna give it up
or what?
-No.

Then you're gonna
have to k*ll me.

Okay.

Okay, look.
Now, I don't
wanna hurt nobody.

And I damn sure don't
want nobody to hurt me.

But I'm not leaving here
without that ring.

You know,
I can't believe you.

We take all your clothes.
You keep coming back.

We make a fool of you.
You keep coming back.

I cut you in an alley
and you keep coming back.

What is it about that ring?
You think it's magic
or something?

It stands for something.
It means that me and
my wife are a team.

Just like your jackets
stand for something.

That means you all
are a team, right?

-Yeah.
-And if somebody
took that from you,

wouldn't you fight
to get 'em back?

-Yeah.
-Well, that's why I'm here.

And that's why I'm gonna
keep coming back.

And I guess in a way
the ring is magic.

Okay, okay.

Don't you touch her.

You know how to
deliver a baby?

-No.
-Then shut up!

Somebody go
get an ambulance.

You got any hot water?

-No.
-You got a hot plate?

-Yeah
-Then heat it up.

I need some clean towels.
Go get some.

Go with her.

Okay, easy, easy.
It's okay.

Uh, look. Can I help
with something?

Yes, you're gonna stick
around in case I need you
to hold her arms down.

Is she gonna be okay?

How the hell
should I know?

If you wanted
this thing done right

you should have
ripped off an obstetrician.

You kids must be crazy.
Running round here stealing
and hurting people.

You don't even know how
to take care of yourselves.

-I'm here.
-Doing what?

This girl should be
in a hospital,

not lying on some floor
in a condemned building.

-It's okay, Wanda.

It's okay. It's coming.
The baby's coming.

Wanda, okay,
I want you to push.

Would you do that for me?
Push, okay?

Hold her arm, dammit!

Okay, Wanda.
It's gonna be okay.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Relax. It's gonna
be all right.

That's my niece.
Ain't she bad?

She's gonna have class.

-Hey, thanks.
-

Look, I just
thanked you, man.

-What do you want?
-You know what I want.

I ain't' giving you back
the ring.

Okay. Look, let me
tell you something.

What's the use?

Look, it's mine now.

And what's mine
stays mine.

That's just the way it is.

Okay, that's cool.

Hey.

Thanks. I thought you
wasn't gonna give it back.

I ain't giving it back.

I'm just paying the doctor.

NARRATOR: Don't go away,
we'll be right back.

Okay, Jenny. Bye-bye.

Well, Jenny ain't seen
Mr. Jefferson either.

But where could he be?

Did you call
all of his friends?

I tried both of them.
Neither one of them
was home.

Well, I just know
something terrible
has happened.

He would have
called me by now.

Oh, Ms. Jefferson,
don't think like that.

Oh, but it's true, Florence.
I just know it.

Oh, George, if I could
only reach him,
talk to him, anything.

Just for a moment,
to let him know

how much I love him
and need him.

Hey, Weez.

I oughta pop you!

Where the hell
have you been?

I went out to get your
anniversary present.

-Here it is!
-Oh.

Oh, my wedding ring!

Oh, you put in
a new diamond.

Cost me a fortune, too.

George, it's beautiful.

And you knew about it
all the time.

Yeah, but Mr. Jefferson,
I don't see why you had...

Let the moment
speak for itself, Florence.

-But I...
-You're speaking
into the moment.

Oh, it doesn't matter.

Oh, George, I love you.

I love you too, Weez.

But, why were you
gone so long?

Well, it's a long story.
Hey, remind me to call
the florist tomorrow.

What for?

Somebody I know
just had a baby.

Oh, well, I guess
it's time I gave y'all my
anniversary present.

Oh. What is it?

I'm gonna get the door.

Hi, Florence.
Remember me?

No.

Oh, yeah. Last time
you saw me I was
wearing different clothes.

Hi, Mrs. Jefferson.
Remember me?

Oh, yeah.

Hi, Mr. Jefferson.

I heard about
you getting stabbed.

Gee, I hope
it wasn't fatal.

No, Hugo,
I think he's alive.

That's good.
But be that as it may,

I brung you
these flowers.

I didn't mean
to run off and leave you,

but you said
we were supposed
to scare those girls

and they weren't scared,
so I went home.

Come a little closer.

Closer?

I can't hear you.

-How's this?
-You left me.

How could you just do that?
