Clips from The Jeffersons - George vs. Wall Street (S02E02)

"Yeah, Pop. This painting can be anything you want it to be."
The Jeffersons
"Good. I want it to be out of this house by tomorrow."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, hi, Mom."
The Jeffersons
"I thought I heard your voice, Jenny."
The Jeffersons
"Yeah, Mrs. Jefferson, it's me."
The Jeffersons
"What are you two doing up at this hour anyway?"
The Jeffersons
"The rain woke your father."
The Jeffersons
"The rain? It's not raining."
The Jeffersons
"It is in Illinois."
The Jeffersons
"You weren't kidding, your father really is a light sleeper."
The Jeffersons
"What are you talking about?"
The Jeffersons
"The flood. The flood."
The Jeffersons
"[MOUTHS] Flood?"
The Jeffersons
"If everything goes okay, in a couple of days"
The Jeffersons
"all of central Illinois will be under three feet of water."
The Jeffersons
"Have you two been drinking?"
The Jeffersons
"No. You see, your father here invested in some beans,"
The Jeffersons
"and if the bean fields get flooded he makes a big profit."
The Jeffersons
"You mean you're hoping for a flood?"
The Jeffersons
"No, I'm just hoping to make me some money, that's all."
The Jeffersons
"I wouldn't want to make money that way."
The Jeffersons
"Taking advantage of other people's misfortunes."
The Jeffersons
"Don't go talking to me about taking advantage."
The Jeffersons
"For 200 years blacks have slaved and sharecropped,"
The Jeffersons
"and picked cotton while whitey took the profit."
The Jeffersons
"Now if I can sit back just like whitey did and make some profits"
The Jeffersons
"off of cotton, or beans, or whatever, why shouldn't I?"
The Jeffersons
"Pop, you're always talking about making it like whitey."
The Jeffersons
"Why do you want to imitate the white man?"
The Jeffersons
"He doesn't have to be white. I'll imitate anybody with money."
The Jeffersons
"Look, Pop, you've knocked the white man for the way"
The Jeffersons
"he's treated us, and you're right."
The Jeffersons
"But then you turn around and do the same thing."
The Jeffersons
"What are you talking about? I don't own no slaves!"
The Jeffersons
"Get some ice, Weezy, I'm need a drink."
The Jeffersons
"Yes, sir, Massuh Jefferson, sir."
The Jeffersons
"Oh, you know something, Mr. Jefferson?"
The Jeffersons
"That is what's wrong with our whole system,"
The Jeffersons
"there's more concern for making money than there is for people."
The Jeffersons
"Look you two, I didn't set up the rules in this country."
The Jeffersons
"I just play the game the best way I know how,"
The Jeffersons
"so don't go running no guilt rap on me"
The Jeffersons
"about what's wrong with our system."
The Jeffersons
"All we're saying is that there are"
The Jeffersons
"more important things than making money."
The Jeffersons
"Name one?"
The Jeffersons
"Love."
The Jeffersons
"Ha. That takes a lifetime of money."
The Jeffersons
"Pop."
The Jeffersons
"See, Lionel, you never had to worry about making money."
The Jeffersons
"Wait till you go out for a job, then you'll talk differently."
The Jeffersons
"No he won't. Lionel could have had a job paying $20,000 a year,"
The Jeffersons
"but he turned it down."
The Jeffersons
"What? What's she talking about?"
The Jeffersons
"Some company offered me an engineering job"
The Jeffersons
"starting right after I graduate."
The Jeffersons
"At 20 grand a year? Yeah."
The Jeffersons
"And you turned it down?"
The Jeffersons
"Yeah. Why?"
The Jeffersons
"Well, Pop, I just... Just tell me why."
The Jeffersons
"Pop, it's just... All I want to know is why."
The Jeffersons
"Well, will you give me a chance to explain?"
The Jeffersons
"Okay, explain. Just give me one good reason."
The Jeffersons
"Well, I thought they were..."
The Jeffersons
"That ain't good enough."
The Jeffersons
"What are you two yelling about?"
The Jeffersons
"Do you know what this dumb son of yours did?"
The Jeffersons
"He turned down a job making 20 grand a year."
The Jeffersons
"Can you believe that? 20 grand a year. Huh."
The Jeffersons
"Is that true, Lionel?"
The Jeffersons
"Yeah, mom. This company sent the recruiter to school"
The Jeffersons
"and he offered me a job."
The Jeffersons
"Well, why didn't you take it?"
The Jeffersons
"I don't know, I... I just wasn't sure that's what I wanted to do."
The Jeffersons
"Didn't you say it was an engineering job?"
The Jeffersons
"Yeah. Then what ain't you sure about?"
The Jeffersons
"What the hell you think I've been sending you to college for?"
The Jeffersons
"I thought it was to learn."
The Jeffersons
"Wrong. I sent you to be an engineer."
The Jeffersons
"George, take it easy."
The Jeffersons
"If he wants to learn, here's lesson number one,"
The Jeffersons
"when somebody offers a 22-year-old black kid a job"
The Jeffersons
"making big money, he takes it."
The Jeffersons
"Why did you turn the job down, Lionel?"
The Jeffersons
"Well, I'm really not sure what I want to do"
The Jeffersons
"when I get out of school."
The Jeffersons
"I might decide to take an engineering job,"
The Jeffersons
"or I might decide to just travel around for a while."
The Jeffersons
"Or I might work at some other job."
The Jeffersons
"Like what?"
The Jeffersons
"I don't know. But whatever it is,"
The Jeffersons
"I want it to be something where I feel"
The Jeffersons
"I'm making a contribution."
The Jeffersons
"Then take that job."
The Jeffersons
"With 20 grand a year you can make plenty of contributions."
The Jeffersons
"Look, Mr. Jefferson,"
The Jeffersons
"Lionel and I have been talking this over and we feel..."
The Jeffersons
"Ah ha, so that's where you got these crazy ideas from."
The Jeffersons
"No, you're wrong, Pop."
The Jeffersons
"No, I ain't."
The Jeffersons
"Look, she comes from a crazy mixed-up family, don't she?"
The Jeffersons
"It's only natural she's going to have crazy mixed-up ideas."
The Jeffersons
"Now, wait a minute."
The Jeffersons
"Let me handle this, Jenny."
The Jeffersons
"Pop, the whole thing was my idea."
The Jeffersons
"Ho, ho, ho. No, it couldn't be."
The Jeffersons
"my brains don't think stupid."
The Jeffersons
"Look, it's getting late."
The Jeffersons
"If you want to talk about my future"
The Jeffersons
"we'll discuss it tomorrow."
The Jeffersons
"Come on, Jenny, I'm taking you home."
The Jeffersons
"Lionel, I'm talking to you."
The Jeffersons
"There's nothing more to talk about. Goodnight."
The Jeffersons
"Goodnight."
The Jeffersons
"Huh. He walked out on me."
The Jeffersons
"He just didn't want to talk anymore."
The Jeffersons
"I didn't want him to talk either."
The Jeffersons
"I just wanted him to listen."
The Jeffersons
"Come to bed, George."
The Jeffersons
"Yeah, I might as well."
