Clips from The Jeffersons - Louise's Cookbook (S02E02)

"I've got to finish this list."
The Jeffersons
"Mmm. What list? Shopping list?"
The Jeffersons
"Or is it a list of things that ain't been getting done"
The Jeffersons
"around the apartment lately?"
The Jeffersons
"Neither. It's a list of tenants"
The Jeffersons
"who want autographed copies of my book."
The Jeffersons
"Mrs. Jefferson,"
The Jeffersons
"do you think you can get me an autographed copy too?"
The Jeffersons
"Of course, Lionel,"
The Jeffersons
"as long as you don't mind waiting in line."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, hello, Helen. Come on in."
The Jeffersons
"Thanks, Louise."
The Jeffersons
"I've got a surprise for you."
The Jeffersons
"What's this? Open it."
The Jeffersons
"$500!"
The Jeffersons
"What's this for?"
The Jeffersons
"For writing your cookbook."
The Jeffersons
"Tom asked me to bring it down to you."
The Jeffersons
"But she didn't even finish writing it yet."
The Jeffersons
"This is an advance"
The Jeffersons
"based on the first chapters."
The Jeffersons
"And believe me,"
The Jeffersons
"when Tom's company gives an advance"
The Jeffersons
"to an unknown author, that's something!"
The Jeffersons
"Your book will be a smash, Louise."
The Jeffersons
"I've never earned this much at one time in my life!"
The Jeffersons
"I can't believe it!"
The Jeffersons
"Hey, they made a mistake."
The Jeffersons
"It says "Louise Mills." That's your maiden name."
The Jeffersons
"Yep. And now it's my pen name."
The Jeffersons
"That was my idea."
The Jeffersons
"Well, so long, author."
The Jeffersons
"So long, Helen, and thanks so much!"
The Jeffersons
"Oh, hi, Mrs. Willis."
The Jeffersons
"I didn't know you were here."
The Jeffersons
"I'm not. She's all yours."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, thank you."
The Jeffersons
"Who are you?"
The Jeffersons
"Peter Brooks,"
The Jeffersons
"public relations for Pellin Publishing."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, now try Peter Piper"
The Jeffersons
"picked a peck of pickled peppers."
The Jeffersons
"I'm supposed to see Louise Mills."
The Jeffersons
"She's my wife."
The Jeffersons
"May I speak with her?"
The Jeffersons
"Help yourself."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Mills."
The Jeffersons
"Let's make this quick, Brooks."
The Jeffersons
"What do you want to know?"
The Jeffersons
"Well, I'd like to know a few things about our author."
The Jeffersons
"Ain't much to tell. I'm George Jefferson,"
The Jeffersons
"owner of Jefferson Cleaners,"
The Jeffersons
"and she's my wife."
The Jeffersons
"But I'd like to find out some more personal information"
The Jeffersons
"about your wife."
The Jeffersons
"Now, we might as well start at the beginning."
The Jeffersons
"Where were you born?"
The Jeffersons
"In a hospital! Where else?"
The Jeffersons
"My husband and I come from Harlem."
The Jeffersons
"Harlem?"
The Jeffersons
"Hmm. That could be an interesting angle."
The Jeffersons
""Woman writes her way out of the ghetto.""
The Jeffersons
""Woman writes her way out of the ghetto?""
The Jeffersons
"That ain't how it happened."
The Jeffersons
"Look, I'll tell you how it happened."
The Jeffersons
"She married me, and we drove out in a van."
The Jeffersons
"Please, Mister Mills."
The Jeffersons
"Jefferson, damn it!"
The Jeffersons
"I'll have to erase that."
The Jeffersons
"Look, Mr. Jefferson, we want your wife to sell books."
The Jeffersons
"You going to make her go door to door?"
The Jeffersons
"Mr. Jefferson, that's funny."
The Jeffersons
"Maybe we could say"
The Jeffersons
"that Louise created her soul food recipes"
The Jeffersons
"while living in Harlem,"
The Jeffersons
"struggling to put food on the family table."
The Jeffersons
"Well, actually, Mr. Brooks,"
The Jeffersons
"it was my grandmother who created the recipes."
The Jeffersons
"Louise Mills ain't struggled"
The Jeffersons
"to put food on nobody's table."
The Jeffersons
"I did."
The Jeffersons
"And I always managed to do it too."
The Jeffersons
"Mr. Jefferson, I don't think you understand."
The Jeffersons
"I ain't the one that don't understand!"
The Jeffersons
"Louise Mills and I got married in 1952."
The Jeffersons
"I worked a lot of jobs and saved my money"
The Jeffersons
"and opened up a cleaning store."
The Jeffersons
"Now I got a whole chain of cleaning stores"
The Jeffersons
"and a high-rise on the East Side,"
The Jeffersons
"and Louise Mills lives happily ever after"
The Jeffersons
"as Louise Jefferson. The End."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, we'll have to do better than that."
The Jeffersons
"But that's the truth, Mr. Brooks."
The Jeffersons
"Well, sometimes we can't tell the truth."
The Jeffersons
"It's too confusing."
The Jeffersons
"Look, public relations is my business,"
The Jeffersons
"and frankly, your real life as Mrs. George Jefferson"
The Jeffersons
"is... dull."
The Jeffersons
"What we have to do..."
The Jeffersons
"I'll tell you what we have to do."
The Jeffersons
"We have to say goodbye."
The Jeffersons
"George... You just stay out of this."
The Jeffersons
"But... But, nothing!"
The Jeffersons
"What about my tape recorder?"
The Jeffersons
"If you ain't out of here in 10 seconds,"
The Jeffersons
"it's going to self-destruct."
The Jeffersons
"But we didn't get a chance"
The Jeffersons
"to talk about some of those recipes."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, you want a recipe?"
The Jeffersons
"I got a recipe for you. Stuffed turkey."
The Jeffersons
"Stuffed turkey?"
The Jeffersons
"Yeah. Take your tape recorder and stuff it, turkey."
The Jeffersons
"George, why did you do that?"
The Jeffersons
"You may have ruined my chances to do that cookbook."
The Jeffersons
"Good. Then you can go back to being my wife again."
The Jeffersons
"Where is it written that I can't write a cookbook"
The Jeffersons
"and be your wife at the same time?"
The Jeffersons
"N-O."
The Jeffersons
"Right there, Weezy, in black and white."
The Jeffersons
"But I've signed a contract"
