Clips from The Jeffersons - The Breakup: Part 1 (S02E02)

"Thanks for your consideration."
The Jeffersons
"Well, now that you've got us all upset anyway,"
The Jeffersons
"you might as well tell us what's wrong."
The Jeffersons
"No sense in letting all this upsetness go to waste."
The Jeffersons
"You can tell us, Lionel. It can't be that bad."
The Jeffersons
"Oh no? How about flunking?"
The Jeffersons
"Hold it!"
The Jeffersons
"Who's flunking what?"
The Jeffersons
"Professor Barton."
The Jeffersons
"He's going to flunk your son, Lionel,"
The Jeffersons
"in American Literature."
The Jeffersons
"That's what."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, now, calm down, Lionel,"
The Jeffersons
"and tell us what this is all about."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, it's simple. Barton's got it in for me,"
The Jeffersons
"and no matter what I do, it's not good enough."
The Jeffersons
"Mom, he just turned down my term paper,"
The Jeffersons
"and he's making me write a new one."
The Jeffersons
"Oh no."
The Jeffersons
"And you've worked on that for weeks."
The Jeffersons
"Why'd he turn it down?"
The Jeffersons
"Because he hates me."
The Jeffersons
"He's a white dude, huh? Yeah."
The Jeffersons
"I knew it. I could have told you that."
The Jeffersons
"That's not the reason, Pop."
The Jeffersons
"There are plenty of other black kids in class,"
The Jeffersons
"and he doesn't hassle them."
The Jeffersons
"Well, what is the reason?"
The Jeffersons
"Well, Barton likes to show off when he lectures."
The Jeffersons
"He's always quoting people."
The Jeffersons
"Every other sentence is a quotation."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, you mean, like, uh,"
The Jeffersons
""It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring"?"
The Jeffersons
"Not quite."
The Jeffersons
"Well, once he used one of my favorite quotes."
The Jeffersons
"He said, "In the words of Ambrose Bierce,"
The Jeffersons
""It is the dull man who is always sure,"
The Jeffersons
"and the sure man who is always dull.""
The Jeffersons
"Hey, that's what I always say."
The Jeffersons
"When do you say that?"
The Jeffersons
"When you ain't around."
The Jeffersons
"Go on, Lionel."
The Jeffersons
"I told Old Man Barton"
The Jeffersons
"it wasn't Ambrose Bierce who said that."
The Jeffersons
"It was H.L. Mencken."
The Jeffersons
"He didn't like that at all, so he looked it up,"
The Jeffersons
"and I was right."
The Jeffersons
"Then he really hit the ceiling."
The Jeffersons
"Why couldn't he just admit he was wrong?"
The Jeffersons
"Ha. In front of the whole class?"
The Jeffersons
"Uh-uh. Professor Barton hates to be wrong."
The Jeffersons
"He's one of those people"
The Jeffersons
"who's got to be right all the time."
The Jeffersons
"I can't stand people like that."
The Jeffersons
"Anyway, he's had it in for me ever since."
The Jeffersons
"But Lionel, if you turn in a really good term paper"
The Jeffersons
"this time,"
The Jeffersons
"maybe Professor Barton will change his mind."
The Jeffersons
"But there's no way that I can do a good job."
The Jeffersons
"My finals are coming up."
The Jeffersons
"I've got to concentrate on Chemistry and Math."
The Jeffersons
"They're the subjects I really need"
The Jeffersons
"to be an engineer, not American Lit."
The Jeffersons
"I'm sure if you really put your mind to it..."
The Jeffersons
"Mom, there's just no way I can do a good job,"
The Jeffersons
"not with the new subject he's assigned me."
The Jeffersons
"Well, what is it?"
The Jeffersons
"Ernest Hemingway and The Homosexual"
The Jeffersons
"In The Mainstream Of American Literature."
The Jeffersons
"I don't know the first thing about that."
The Jeffersons
"Good, and you keep it that way."
The Jeffersons
"Huh?"
The Jeffersons
"I didn't send my son to school to study fairytales."
The Jeffersons
"If I don't write that paper, I'll flunk."
The Jeffersons
"Okay, so you flunk one subject. So what?"
The Jeffersons
"So I won't graduate this year, that's what."
The Jeffersons
"Wait a minute, wait a minute."
The Jeffersons
"Pop, I've got a lot of work and no time,"
The Jeffersons
"and I'd better get started right now."
The Jeffersons
"Poor Lionel."
The Jeffersons
"I feel so helpless."
The Jeffersons
"I wish I could do something."
The Jeffersons
"Wishing is for making princes out of frogs."
The Jeffersons
"Well, have you got any ideas?"
The Jeffersons
"Well, I ain't going to let Lionel flunk."
The Jeffersons
"Well, how are you going to stop it?"
The Jeffersons
"I don't know."
The Jeffersons
"I can only get one idea at a time."
The Jeffersons
"Ooh, that felt good."
The Jeffersons
"Florence, I thought I told you"
The Jeffersons
"to do Lionel's room first."
The Jeffersons
"He's doing all right in the kitchen."
The Jeffersons
"But he prefers to study in his own room."
The Jeffersons
"If he ain't smart in the kitchen,"
The Jeffersons
"he ain't going to be smart in the bedroom."
The Jeffersons
"Florence, please."
The Jeffersons
"All right."
The Jeffersons
"And I'll help you."
The Jeffersons
"Okay... long as you pay me"
The Jeffersons
"like I'm working by myself."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, come on Florence."
The Jeffersons
"[DOORBELL RINGS]"
The Jeffersons
"Oh, uh, get that, Florence."
The Jeffersons
"Do this. Get that."
The Jeffersons
"You treat me just like I'm a servant around here."
The Jeffersons
"Hi, Florence."
The Jeffersons
"He's in the kitchen."
The Jeffersons
"Thank you, ma'am."
The Jeffersons
"And see if you can get him"
The Jeffersons
"to take his head out of them books"
The Jeffersons
"before he reads the print right off the pages."
The Jeffersons
"Aw, not now, Florence, Mom's in the house."
The Jeffersons
"How's it going?"
The Jeffersons
"Oh, lousy."
The Jeffersons
"I've been working on this paper for two days,"
The Jeffersons
"and I'm not getting nowhere."
The Jeffersons
"Jenny, I don't think I'm going to make it."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, sure you will."
The Jeffersons
"Honey, why don't you let me help you?"
The Jeffersons
"Remember what happened"
