1. 'It's Willsenio-o-o-o..'
Copy !req
2. '... Smith!'
Copy !req
3. Ah!
Copy !req
4. Ah!
Copy !req
5. Tonight,
on "The Willsenio Smith Show"
Copy !req
6. a boy making a videotape
for his mama.
Copy !req
7. Give it up for him.
Copy !req
8. Hi, mom, it's me.
You know, Aunt Viv told me
Copy !req
9. that you finally came into
the '90s, and you bought a VCR.
Copy !req
10. So I thought I'd make
a little tape for you.
Copy !req
11. Well, I've grown a little bit
Copy !req
12. since you've seen me,
about an inch and a half.
Copy !req
13. Oh! Check this out,
check this out.
Copy !req
14. I got some chest hairs now.
Look.
Copy !req
15. See? Digger one there.
Digger one..
Copy !req
16. Oh, that must have been
sweater lint.
Copy !req
17. Well, anyway, hold up.
Copy !req
18. We'll be right back
after these messages.
Copy !req
19. Have you ever felt,
you know, not so fresh?
Copy !req
20. No, just kidding, mama.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Copy !req
21. Check it out.
Check it out. Check it out.
Copy !req
22. Got an A-plus
on my Spanish test.
Copy !req
23. Man, muchos brainos
en el cabeza, si?
Copy !req
24. Man.
Copy !req
25. But, yo, yo, yo.
I bettervamanos
Copy !req
26. 'cause you know how Uncle Phil
gets if anybody hold up dinner.
Copy !req
27. 'Will!'
Copy !req
28. Well..
Copy !req
29. That means,
"How much is the espadrilles?"
Copy !req
30. Hey, yo. I don't know
how to say I miss you, mom.
Copy !req
31. But I do.
Copy !req
32. Alright. Adios.
Copy !req
33. Oh, cut it, Ash.
Copy !req
34. Hilary, your makeup's here.
Copy !req
35. No, it's one of your friends
from Philly
Copy !req
36. too cheap
to buy an airline ticket.
Copy !req
37. No, this is
my new exercise bike.
Copy !req
38. I'm gonna use it
to develop my huge legs.
Copy !req
39. You know, I figure I'll need 'em
to support my massive chest
Copy !req
40. and my 24-inch pythons.
Copy !req
41. This equal-opportunity thing
has gone just a little too far.
Copy !req
42. I can't believe
they're letting girls
Copy !req
43. play on my intramural
baseball team.
Copy !req
44. Ooh. Next thing you know,
they'll be letting us vote.
Copy !req
45. Don't even get me
started on that issue.
Copy !req
46. Women have their place
Copy !req
47. but men are the cornerstone
of civilization.
Copy !req
48. Not only are we good
at men things
Copy !req
49. but we're good
at women things, too.
Copy !req
50. I can't believe you're serious.
Copy !req
51. Hilary and I could do a
so-called man thing a lot better
Copy !req
52. than either of you could do
a so-called woman thing.
Copy !req
53. Would you care to
place a little wager?
Copy !req
54. I bet you couldn't..
Copy !req
55. Couldn't, um—
Copy !req
56. Assemble an exercise bike.
Copy !req
57. Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
58. We got one right here!
Copy !req
59. Well, we could do that
a lot better than you could—
Copy !req
60. Sew a dress.
Copy !req
61. I saw it on "The Brady Bunch."
Copy !req
62. You're on.
Copy !req
63. Another planet, man.
I ain't sewing no dress.
Copy !req
64. Ah, in other words,
you can't sew no dress.
Copy !req
65. Well, what? Are you crazy?
We'd do a dress like that.
Copy !req
66. And that includes
a full smocking and smart pleat.
Copy !req
67. Then it's set. The loser has
to help Alice in the kitchen.
Copy !req
68. I mean, Geoffrey.
Copy !req
69. - Hi, Ed.
- Evening.
Copy !req
70. Well, is grandma here yet?
How does she look?
Copy !req
71. If I was 50 years old
Copy !req
72. I'd definitely take her out
for a bucket of chicken.
Copy !req
73. - Hi, sweetie.
- 'Hi, baby.'
Copy !req
74. Oh, your mother loves her room.
Copy !req
75. She's been clapping
the lights on and off
Copy !req
76. for the last 20 minutes.
Copy !req
77. Huh.
Copy !req
78. Well, you know, ever since
grandpa died last year
Copy !req
79. I've been trying to get grandma
to move out here with us.
Copy !req
80. So I want everybody
to cheer her up.
Copy !req
81. I mean,
I don't want her moping around
Copy !req
82. in some old housecoat all day.
Copy !req
83. - Zeke.
- Mama!
Copy !req
84. Oh, it's so good
to see you, baby.
Copy !req
85. Oh, mama!
Copy !req
86. Oh, you look so fluorescent.
Copy !req
87. Don't I, though?
Copy !req
88. I am three pounds lighter,
a whole lot tighter
Copy !req
89. and I'm dressed to chill.
Copy !req
90. - Oh! Go, granny.
- Whoa!
Copy !req
91. Go, granny.
Go, granny.
Copy !req
92. Come here.
Copy !req
93. Well, mama, I've got a busy day
planned for you tomorrow.
Copy !req
94. They're having
a solitaire tournament
Copy !req
95. out at the Bide-Away
Retirement Villas
Copy !req
96. and after that
there's a pudding buffet.
Copy !req
97. Oh-wee!
Copy !req
98. Sounds like fun,
but I don't think
Copy !req
99. I can take all that excitement.
Copy !req
100. Hey, hold up.
I don't know, granny.
Copy !req
101. Last week, they served tapioca.
Copy !req
102. Man, the cops had to
break that joint up.
Copy !req
103. Mrs. Banks,
I bought all the fixings
Copy !req
104. for a North Carolina dinner.
Copy !req
105. Oh! Geoffrey, I'm impressed.
Copy !req
106. But while you're cooking it
Copy !req
107. would you mind making me up
a salad?
Copy !req
108. - I'm slimming.
- Ooh!
Copy !req
109. - Mama?
- Hm?
Copy !req
110. You mean you're not cooking
at all?
Copy !req
111. Well, you know..
Copy !req
112. Oh, okay, you basset hounds.
Copy !req
113. If you leave me to it,
I can bake a pie
Copy !req
114. and still get in a bike ride
before supper.
Copy !req
115. Oh!
Copy !req
116. Now, go on. Get out of here.
Copy !req
117. Oh! Shoo. Get away. Shoo.
Copy !req
118. - Shoo.
- Go, granny.
Copy !req
119. Go granny. Go granny.
Copy !req
120. Evening.
Copy !req
121. Oh.
Copy !req
122. Evening.
Copy !req
123. - Yo, what up, Ed?
- Whoa.
Copy !req
124. Uh, granny, have you two met?
Copy !req
125. This is Mr. Ed Downer.
Copy !req
126. Ah, Ed,
this is Mrs. Hattie Banks.
Copy !req
127. A woman known far and wide
for her mean sweet potato pies.
Copy !req
128. Oh! Well, if it's half
as sweet as she is
Copy !req
129. maybe you might save me a slice.
Copy !req
130. Yo, that's a good line, Ed.
Copy !req
131. I'll have to use
that one myself.
Copy !req
132. Ah. Well, uh, Ed, are you
from around these parts?
Copy !req
133. No, my wife passed,
my daughter wanted me out here
Copy !req
134. and wouldn't take
no for an answer.
Copy !req
135. Hm. Since my Joe passed,
my son wants me out here, too.
Copy !req
136. But I don't think so.
Copy !req
137. Oh, don't let this jogging suit
fool you. I'm no spring chicken.
Copy !req
138. Well, maybe not.
Copy !req
139. But you a long way
from the stewing pot.
Copy !req
140. You know,
like my dad always said
Copy !req
141. women are like Cadillacs
Copy !req
142. they don't even begin to rev up
until they hit 70.
Copy !req
143. Yo, E. Another dope line, man.
Copy !req
144. We're gonna win this bet, Will.
Copy !req
145. I love the neckline,
and the fabric's great.
Copy !req
146. And the color really
brings out my eyes.
Copy !req
147. How're you doing, granny?
Wh-what do you think?
Copy !req
148. Six years of "Oprah,"
and this is still a shock.
Copy !req
149. I-it's a bet, grandma.
Copy !req
150. Don't tell me what
happens if you lose.
Copy !req
151. In fact, I don't want to
know
what happens if you win.
Copy !req
152. Oh, hell, just let's never
mention it again.
Copy !req
153. Son?
Copy !req
154. And I use that term loosely.
Copy !req
155. What's going on?
Copy !req
156. Uh, dad,
it's not what it looks like.
Copy !req
157. Will and I are making a dress.
Copy !req
158. That's exactly
what it looks like.
Copy !req
159. Look, Carlton,
let's just go upstairs
Copy !req
160. and pick out some accessories,
man.
Copy !req
161. Hm. Work it, honey.
Copy !req
162. Seat.
Copy !req
163. Handlebars.
Copy !req
164. Pedals. Hey, we're doing great.
Copy !req
165. Give me.
Copy !req
166. Oh. "Tools needed.
Copy !req
167. Pliers and a wrench
with a ratchet head."
Copy !req
168. Sounds like somebody
with a bad haircut.
Copy !req
169. What else?
Copy !req
170. Oh, goody! Listen to this..
Copy !req
171. "Do not overexert yourself
or work to exhaustion."
Copy !req
172. We have to stop, Ashley.
Copy !req
173. Oh, no, Carlton. Carlton, man.
Copy !req
174. Is this the saddest sight
that you've seen, man?
Copy !req
175. Other than your girlfriend
in biker shorts?
Copy !req
176. We are doing just fine,
thank you.
Copy !req
177. As a matter of fact,
as soon as we put it together
Copy !req
178. we'll be done.
Copy !req
179. When did you see my girlfriend
in bicycle shorts?
Copy !req
180. Last Thursday,
while she was playing tennis.
Copy !req
181. Magnificent server.
Copy !req
182. Speaking of serving
Copy !req
183. your parents are expecting you
on the patio for brunch.
Copy !req
184. Mama, we'd like you to meet
our next-door neighbor.
Copy !req
185. Mrs. Sweeting,
this is my mother, Mrs.
Banks.
Copy !req
186. Thanks? For what?
I just got here.
Copy !req
187. Ah, how do you do?
Copy !req
188. Yes, well,
we had a nice long chat
Copy !req
189. while we were walking
up the driveway
Copy !req
190. and it seems you two gals
have a lot in common.
Copy !req
191. Oh, isn't that nice? What?
Copy !req
192. I crochet. I play cards.
Copy !req
193. Did I mention I crochet?
Copy !req
194. Excuse me, I just remembered
Copy !req
195. I have some pantyhose
soaking upstairs.
Copy !req
196. Ah, Mrs. Sweeting,
may I ask what you're
making?
Copy !req
197. An Afghan.
Copy !req
198. That's what I make, Afghans.
Only Afghans.
Copy !req
199. Not scarves, not tablecloths
Copy !req
200. not doilies.
Copy !req
201. I think I'll go translate
the "Dead Sea Scrolls."
Copy !req
202. Well, I'll go with you.
Copy !req
203. You can never learn that
stuff
too early.
Copy !req
204. While you two ladies
get acquainted
Copy !req
205. I think I'll go check
Copy !req
206. and see what Geoffrey's doing
in the kitchen.
Copy !req
207. Bitchin'?
Copy !req
208. Is he going surfing?
Copy !req
209. I thought we were
gonna have lunch.
Copy !req
210. Ah, well, I wish I could stay.
Copy !req
211. It's so nice getting
to know your friends
Copy !req
212. ah, but Will and I have to go..
Copy !req
213. - Bungee jumping.
- 'Oh, that's right.'
Copy !req
214. Nice meeting you,
Miss Sweet Thing.
Copy !req
215. Come on, honey.
Copy !req
216. Philip, I'll be out in a minute.
Copy !req
217. I have slipped into something
Copy !req
218. that will knock your socks off.
Copy !req
219. Mm-mm. My socks are already off.
Just come out naked.
Copy !req
220. 'Oh!'
Copy !req
221. Well, what do you think?
Copy !req
222. Hm. What's that?
Copy !req
223. After 22 years of marriage,
you still have to ask?
Copy !req
224. No, dear, I'm talking
about this note here.
Copy !req
225. "Dear Vivian and Zeke
Copy !req
226. "I'm going over to my
new friend's to play cards.
Copy !req
227. Love, mama."
Copy !req
228. Your mother went over
to Mrs. Sweeting's?
Copy !req
229. - I don't believe it.
- I hate to say I told you so.
Copy !req
230. Then don't.
Copy !req
231. Help me turn down
the bed instead.
Copy !req
232. I mean, why shouldn't
they hit it off?
Copy !req
233. They're both about the same age.
Copy !req
234. So are you and Mick Jagger.
Copy !req
235. Philip, can I help you
with your shirt?
Copy !req
236. You know,
the important thing is
Copy !req
237. mama's got a new friend now.
Copy !req
238. Philip, your mother is fine.
Copy !req
239. She really, really is.
Stop worrying.
Copy !req
240. And this nightgown cost $160.
Copy !req
241. No, she's not fine.
Believe me, Vivian
Copy !req
242. this chipper act
is strictly for my benefit.
Copy !req
243. I'm gonna wait up for mama
and see if she needs anything
Copy !req
244. before she goes to bed.
Copy !req
245. Uh, Philip..
Copy !req
246. There's something I'd like
before I go to bed.
Copy !req
247. I'll bring you
some sugar cookies.
Copy !req
248. God, this dress-making
is a breeze, isn't it, Will?
Copy !req
249. You said it, Carlton.
Copy !req
250. Hey, man, what do you think
of this for Cher?
Copy !req
251. It's a little formal, isn't it?
Copy !req
252. Not only are men bad at sewing,
they're also terrible liars.
Copy !req
253. Hey, what do you know about men?
Copy !req
254. A lot more than you know
about women.
Copy !req
255. When was the last time
you called a girl
Copy !req
256. for a date a week in advance
Copy !req
257. showed up in a nice suit
with a bouquet of flowers
Copy !req
258. and took her out
for a romantic, candle-lit meal?
Copy !req
259. Um, never.
Copy !req
260. Come on, look, women don't like
that mushy stuff.
Copy !req
261. They like a man to take control.
Copy !req
262. Yeah, control of themselves.
Copy !req
263. A guy's idea of an icebreaker
Copy !req
264. is sitting next to me
in the cafeteria
Copy !req
265. and belching my name.
Copy !req
266. There's nothing like love
to build up a good appetite.
Copy !req
267. Oh, good morning, Mr. Slugabed.
Copy !req
268. - Hi, honey.
- Good morning, mama.
Copy !req
269. I fixed your favorite,
pecan waffles.
Copy !req
270. Well, no, thank you, mother.
Copy !req
271. I'm not very hungry this morning
for some reason.
Copy !req
272. How was it when
you were growing up, grandma?
Copy !req
273. Oh, when I was your age,
sweetheart
Copy !req
274. there was no hanky-panky.
Copy !req
275. Not at my age, either.
Copy !req
276. Although I don't think
there's anything the matter
Copy !req
277. with a little hugging
and kissing.
Copy !req
278. Could we change the subject,
please?
Copy !req
279. Zeke, are you feeling okay?
Copy !req
280. Your face is longer
than Arsenio Hall's.
Copy !req
281. I'm fine.
Copy !req
282. Well, he tossed
and turned all night.
Copy !req
283. Or was that me?
Copy !req
284. Look, I'm fine.
Can we just eat, please?
Copy !req
285. Oh, Hattie, thank you
for making breakfast.
Copy !req
286. You know,
you were out so late last night
Copy !req
287. I thought you would sleep in.
Copy !req
288. Oh, honey
I've been going to bed
Copy !req
289. with the chickens
all of my life.
Copy !req
290. But, you know, when you're out
having a good time
Copy !req
291. the last thing you
think about is the bed.
Copy !req
292. Well, I'm glad to hear that.
Copy !req
293. I don't know
what's gotten into dad
Copy !req
294. but if he's dieting again,
I'm moving to a hotel.
Copy !req
295. Philip?
Copy !req
296. You've been acting strange
all day.
Copy !req
297. Now, if it's about last
night,
I am not upset anymore.
Copy !req
298. No, that's not it.
Copy !req
299. Why isn't it?
Copy !req
300. Mama wasn't playing cards
with Mrs. Sweeting last night.
Copy !req
301. She was out with Ed,
the handyman.
Copy !req
302. I saw them kissing good night.
Copy !req
303. Um, sweetheart,
I understand why you're
upset
Copy !req
304. but your parents had a long
Copy !req
305. wonderful marriage.
Copy !req
306. But your mother's been alone
for almost a year now.
Copy !req
307. Can you imagine
how lonely she must be?
Copy !req
308. If she's found someone,
can't you just be happy for her?
Copy !req
309. No.
Copy !req
310. Philip, think about it.
Copy !req
311. If you die tomorrow,
what would you want me to
do?
Copy !req
312. Jump in with me
and bring the kids.
Copy !req
313. - Oh, you don't mean that.
- You're right.
Copy !req
314. Leave the kids.
Copy !req
315. Philip, if you want your mother
to move to California
Copy !req
316. that means accepting
her friends.
Copy !req
317. Now, I think it would be a nice
gesture to invite Ed to dinner.
Copy !req
318. - Oh! You've got to be kidding.
- Oh, Philip.
Copy !req
319. I know it's hard to be
rational and mature
Copy !req
320. when it comes to dealing
with your own mother
Copy !req
321. but please try.
Copy !req
322. I don't want to.
Copy !req
323. Please, baby, for me.
Copy !req
324. If I promise to jump in
with you?
Copy !req
325. Philip, Hattie's friend
has been here almost an hour.
Copy !req
326. Eventually, you are gonna have
to say something to him.
Copy !req
327. Like what?
Copy !req
328. Nice suit. Pass the salt.
Copy !req
329. What's your favorite wrench?
Anything.
Copy !req
330. Honey, as long as it's to Ed.
Copy !req
331. Can you do that for me, please?
Copy !req
332. I'll try.
Copy !req
333. Just wait until you've tasted
Geoffrey's ham-hock souffle.
Copy !req
334. Why don't you sit here Mr. Ed?
Copy !req
335. It's Downer, sweetie.
Copy !req
336. Mr. Ed Downer.
Copy !req
337. Something sure does
smell delicious.
Copy !req
338. That would be granny.
Copy !req
339. So, Ed, uh, Hattie tells us
that you grew up on a farm.
Copy !req
340. That's right, a horse farm.
Copy !req
341. My daddy had a horse.
Copy !req
342. Ah, um, Mr. Downer,
what breed did you raise?
Copy !req
343. Appaloosas. They have the most
beautiful spotted coats.
Copy !req
344. My dad had a spotted coat,
then he had it cleaned.
Copy !req
345. Did you have any other
animals
on your farm?
Copy !req
346. Oh, of course,
we had chickens, cows
Copy !req
347. and a great old dog
named Brownie.
Copy !req
348. My dad loved brownies.
He once ate a whole pan-full.
Copy !req
349. That explains a lot.
Copy !req
350. So what happened to your
farm?
Copy !req
351. My son's there.
Copy !req
352. I passed it on to him, like
my dad got it from his parents.
Copy !req
353. My dad had parents.
Copy !req
354. We called them grand-mom
and grand-pop.
Copy !req
355. Ah, Zeke, honey, it smells like
my dessert is ready.
Copy !req
356. Would you go check on it
for me, please?
Copy !req
357. Mmm.
Smells like sweet-potato pie.
Copy !req
358. My dad liked—
Copy !req
359. (all)
Sweet-potato pie!
Copy !req
360. You miss your father a lot,
don't you, Zeke?
Copy !req
361. - Somebody has to.
- What do you mean by that?
Copy !req
362. I was standing right there.
Copy !req
363. I saw you kiss Ed good night
Copy !req
364. and now he's sitting
in my daddy's place.
Copy !req
365. You're the one
who invited him to dinner
Copy !req
366. and I'm glad you did.
Copy !req
367. Don't you feel anything
for daddy, anything at all?
Copy !req
368. You really want to know
how I feel?
Copy !req

- Angry? Why, mama?
Copy !req
371. Because he promised
he'd never leave me.
Copy !req
372. Crazy as it may seem,
I believed him.

I woke up early

377. Remembering is easy, Zeke.
Copy !req
378. It's the times that I forget
he's gone that I can't stand.
Copy !req
379. Oh, mama.
Copy !req
380. I am so sorry.
Copy !req
381. It's just that I lost daddy
Copy !req
382. and when I saw you with Ed
Copy !req
383. I thought I was gonna lose you,
too.
Copy !req
384. You're not gonna lose me, Zeke.
Copy !req
385. Of course you may have
to loan me out on occasion.
Copy !req
386. Ah, you can let go now, Zeke.
Copy !req
387. As soon as Ed leaves.
Copy !req
388. This is perfection.
Copy !req
389. You'll notice the smooth motion
Copy !req
390. graceful lines
and elegant style.
Copy !req
391. And the bike looks great, too.
Copy !req
392. Will, you have to admit
Copy !req
393. Hilary and I have built
the perfect exercise bike
Copy !req
394. while Carlton

Copy !req
395. trying to unstitch your
dress
from some major body parts.

397. Carlton, if you please.
Copy !req

an elegant yet masculine

Copy !req
402. Ooh, baby, come to mama.

403. You want some fries
with that shake?
Copy !req

my lunchbox home anytime.
Copy !req
