Clips from The Jeffersons - Mother Jefferson's Birthday (S02E02)

"Yeah, what am I going to do?"
The Jeffersons
"I've got an idea."
The Jeffersons
"What?"
The Jeffersons
"I know the perfect present for your mother."
The Jeffersons
"What?"
The Jeffersons
"Instead of giving her something,"
The Jeffersons
"give her somebody."
The Jeffersons
"Yeah, you're right, Weezy."
The Jeffersons
"We'll give her your maid, Florence."
The Jeffersons
"George, be serious."
The Jeffersons
"Who's been on your mother's mind"
The Jeffersons
"a lot lately?"
The Jeffersons
"Me."
The Jeffersons
"No, someone else."
The Jeffersons
"You, when she's mad."
The Jeffersons
"No, no, George."
The Jeffersons
"Who is it your mother misses and would love to see again?"
The Jeffersons
"I got it. I got it."
The Jeffersons
"Wait till you hear my idea."
The Jeffersons
"I'm going to call up Aunt Emma,"
The Jeffersons
"and I'm going to talk her into coming over here."
The Jeffersons
"That'll be the best present Mama could ever get."
The Jeffersons
"Now, why didn't I think of that?"
The Jeffersons
"Because you're used to me handling everything."
The Jeffersons
"Aunt Emma. I'm glad you're home."
The Jeffersons
"Guess who this is."
The Jeffersons
"Your favorite nephew."
The Jeffersons
"No, it ain't Elvis."
The Jeffersons
"It's George. George."
The Jeffersons
"Jefferson."
The Jeffersons
"Look. No, no. Hold it, Aunt Emma."
The Jeffersons
"She didn't tell me to do nothing."
The Jeffersons
"She don't even know I'm calling,"
The Jeffersons
"but it's Mama's birthday today,"
The Jeffersons
"and I was just hoping that maybe you could..."
The Jeffersons
"But that was so long ago."
The Jeffersons
"I bet you don't even remember what the fight was about."
The Jeffersons
"Number nine, huh?"
The Jeffersons
"On Friday, February 9, 1951."
The Jeffersons
"Can't you let bygones be bygones?"
The Jeffersons
"I mean, Mama would love to see you,"
The Jeffersons
"and I was just hoping that you could come..."
The Jeffersons
"But... That... Okay, okay. Bye."
The Jeffersons
"She's not coming."
The Jeffersons
"No, something important came up."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, that's too bad. What is it?"
The Jeffersons
"Kojak's on tonight."
The Jeffersons
"Where are you going?"
The Jeffersons
"Oh, I don't know."
The Jeffersons
"I've got to go buy Mama something."
The Jeffersons
"What are you going to get?"
The Jeffersons
"I don't know. I'll just look in all the store windows."
The Jeffersons
"Then you'd better take a brick with you."
The Jeffersons
"Why?"
The Jeffersons
"All the stores are closed on Sunday. Remember?"
The Jeffersons
"I hope Pop finds a nice present."
The Jeffersons
"Well, at least we've got a cake."
The Jeffersons
"Hey, Mom, how many candles will you put on Grandma's cake?"
The Jeffersons
"Well, if I put the right amount, there'll be more wax than cake."
The Jeffersons
"So I think I'll just put on seven, for 70."
The Jeffersons
"No wonder this city's going down the drain."
The Jeffersons
"Nobody's working on Sunday. Everything's closed."
The Jeffersons
"Couldn't you find anything?"
The Jeffersons
"Nope."
The Jeffersons
"Boy, if Grandma doesn't get a present,"
The Jeffersons
"she's going to feel terrible."
The Jeffersons
"How do you think I'm going to feel?"
The Jeffersons
"She's going to hate me."
The Jeffersons
"No, George,"
The Jeffersons
"she'll somehow find a way to blame it all on me."
The Jeffersons
"Yeah."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, come on, Weezy, what are we going to do?"
The Jeffersons
"Pop, maybe there's something around the apartment"
The Jeffersons
"that would make a nice present."
The Jeffersons
"That's dumb. Why?"
The Jeffersons
"I already thought of it."
The Jeffersons
"But there must be a thousand things around here."
The Jeffersons
"Look, there's nothing around here..."
The Jeffersons
"Hey, hey, that's it."
The Jeffersons
"Lionel, you are one smart kid."
The Jeffersons
"How did I get promoted from dumb to smart"
The Jeffersons
"so fast?"
The Jeffersons
"You said a thousand."
The Jeffersons
"That's what I'm going to give Mama,"
The Jeffersons
"a check for a thousand bucks."
The Jeffersons
"Ha."
The Jeffersons
"Couldn't you have said a hundred?"
The Jeffersons
"George, I really don't think your mother"
The Jeffersons
"is going to like that check."
The Jeffersons
"Oh. Should I make it 2,000?"
The Jeffersons
"No!"
The Jeffersons
"Uh, no."
The Jeffersons
"What I mean is,"
The Jeffersons
"your mother's expecting something special"
The Jeffersons
"for her birthday, something personal."
The Jeffersons
"And that's exactly what she's going to get."
The Jeffersons
"This is from my personal checking account."
The Jeffersons
"I'm so excited, I couldn't sleep a wink."
The Jeffersons
"But Grandma,"
The Jeffersons
"you've been in there an hour and a half."
The Jeffersons
"You must have slept."
The Jeffersons
"Just resting my eyes."
The Jeffersons
"That's right, Lionel,"
The Jeffersons
"but the rest of her was wide awake."
The Jeffersons
"Mama, close your eyes and hold out your hands."
The Jeffersons
"Ooh, I'm so excited."
The Jeffersons
"I know this is going to be something very special."
The Jeffersons
"Happy birthday, Ma."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, George, it's... Only a check for $1,000."
The Jeffersons
"I told you I should have made it two."
The Jeffersons
"It's not the gift that counts."
The Jeffersons
"It's the thought."
The Jeffersons
"And you didn't put very much thought into this,"
The Jeffersons
"did you, George?"
The Jeffersons
"Here."
The Jeffersons
"Sure I did, Ma."
The Jeffersons
"On a special birthday like this,"
The Jeffersons
"a last-minute check is not a present."
The Jeffersons
"It's an insult."
The Jeffersons
"But Mama... [DOORBELL RINGS]"
