Fat Albert Page #7

I have to help her.

It's time for Doris

to believe in herself again.

You're fading, man! You cannot--

Guys, listen up.

Now, we win this relay,

we win the meet. All right?

- Yori, you're first leg as usual.

- All right.

Lisa, I'm taking you off of third leg

and putting you on second leg.

- Okay.

- Go, Lisa!

Lauri, you're third leg.

And, Doris, you're anchor.

All right, come on!

Let's do this now!

Go, Archers!

Yeah, come on, guys!

Anchor? But you're always anchor.

How could Coach make me anchor?

- Lauri!

- It was Albert's idea.

You're not a loser.

Come on.

We've got spirit!

Yes, we do!

We've got spirit!

How about you?

- Come on! Come on!

- Set!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Go!

Go! Go!

Run, Doris! Run!

- What are you doing here?

- You can win!

Someone get that fat kid

off the track!

Okay. Now go.

Run, Doris! Run! You can win!

Come on. Come on.

- Yeah.

- We won!

We won! We won!

You did it!

No, we did it.

Oh, come on. We gotta go.

Where are we going?

Oh, Albert,

you never should've come.

- What's going on? - I have to get him

in the TV before the show ends.

- Doris, don't start.

- Can't you see he's fading?

So we meet again.

- Fat Albert.

- Fat.

Reggie, leave him alone.

He's not, uh, feeling well.

Hey, everybody, listen up!

This fat fool is not

what he appears to be.

Come on, Albert.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Uh, where

do you think you're going, fat man?

It's you and me.

Hey, hey, hey.

Get out of our way.

Okay.

So I guess you won't mind

if we borrow this.

Anything you want.

- Come on. - Doris, I don't know

about this. Wait, Doris. Lauri.

Are you sure

we should be on this? Oh!

Look, Lauri! Doris! Lauri!

- Doris! Whoa, stairs.

- Hey!

Stand back!

Oh, sorry.

I just can't stop. Sorry.

Nice meeting you.

Whoa! Whoa!

So sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry. So sorry.

Oh, thank you.

- Hello.

- No, no, no!

Hey, yo, man!

Are you okay?

Hey, hey, hey. Flyin' is easy.

I-It's the landing that's hard.

Fat Albert!

Hurry! The show's

almost over. We need you.

Okay, Bill. I'm comin'.

Now get back in the set.

- Pretty amazing, huh?

- How could this be?

Hurry up. You've gotta go.

Albert, wait.

I don't understand any of this.

I never meant to hurt you, Lauri.

Will you ever come back?

If there's any way that I can, I will.

But in the meantime, we'll

always have North Philly.

And I'll always have my Big Al.

Albert, wait!

I finally figured out

who you remind me of.

You remind me of my grandpa.

Hey, hey, hey.

That's a nice thing to say.

I love you, Doris.

I love you too.

What is that? A piece of paper?

No, man. That's a paper clip.

I'll see you girls through the TV.

We have 'em! We're

the buck-buck champions!

- We still have 'em.

- Okay, lift. Okay, now push.

Now push together.

Fa-a-a-a-t Albert! He loves

to hear us call his name.

Hey, hey, hey.

Who wants to play?

Fat Albert, you got

a problem to solve.

I just saw Danielle. She said she was

quittin' school and running away from home.

- Hey, Danielle.

- What do you want?

- You can't quit school and run away.

- What's it to you?

- Well, I care about you.

- Well, don't.

Every time someone says they care

about me, they wind up leaving me.

But, Danielle,

you can't let fear, um--

He better not be doing this again.

You can't let fear keep you

from caring about someone...

because caring about someone

is wonderful.

A person you can think about,

and they think about you...

and you both know you're

thinking about each other.

And it-- it's just

fantastic to know...

that there's somebody

out there in the world...

thinking about you.

Hey, hey, hey!

It's Fa-a-a-a-t Albert!

Oh, my legs!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Let go of my legs!

- Grab his socks!

- Let go of my legs! I gotta help these people.

Why, look at that guy.

Ooh, look at his--

Yeah, you can't tell me

he doesn't need my help.

Check out that lady over there.

Do I detect tears?

Eh, you in the back!

Where are you goin'?

It's not over!

You gotta watch the end credits.

A sequel?
