OH, STOP.
NO, THE FACT IS I ADOPTED
WILLIS AND ARNOLD
BECAUSE THEY'RE GREAT
KIDS, AND I LOVE 'EM.
IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
IT'S ALSO THAT UNUSUAL.
IT'S JUST THE TYPE
OF UPLIFTING STORY
OUR MAGAZINE IS SEARCHING FOR.
WELL, I'M NOT REALLY AGAINST IT,
BUT I'M NOT AT ALL SURE
THAT ALL THAT PUBLICITY
IS THE BEST THING FOR THE KIDS.
BUT, MR. DRUMMOND,
YOUR FAMILY COULD BE
AN INSPIRATION TO OTHERS.
A MODEL OF HARMONIOUS
BLACK-WHITE RELATIONSHIPS...
YOU STINK, WILLIS!
OH, SIT ON IT, KIMBERLY!
YOU BOTH STINK, AND
YOU BOTH SIT ON IT!
SHUT UP, ARNOLD!
KIDS. HA HA. WE...

THIS IS MY HARMONIOUS FAMILY.
MY DAUGHTER KIMBERLY,
MY SONS WILLIS AND ARNOLD.
SAY HELLO TO MS. BUXTON.
HELLO.
SHE WOULDN'T LEND ME $5.00.
WILLIS WANTS TO ADD
A SHELF TO OUR WALL
FOR THAT TROPHY HE'S GETTING.
TROPHY? WHAT TROPHY?
I'LL TELL YOU
ABOUT IT LATER, DAD.
WILLIS WAS VOTED
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER
OF THE SCHOOL'S FOOTBALL TEAM.
YEAH, I'M GETTING A
TROPHY ON FRIDAY.
IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE SCHOOL.
OH, THAT'S TERRIFIC,
WILLIS. CONGRATULATIONS.

KIMBERLY IS GOING TO BE
THE FEATURED PERFORMER
WHEN HER BALLET CLASS
PRESENTS SWAN LAKE.
YEAH. I'M GONNA
BE THE HEAD SWAN.
WELL, NOW YOU'VE GIVEN
ME TWO MORE GOOD REASONS
TO WRITE YOUR
STORY, MR. DRUMMOND.
WHAT STORY?
OH, WELL, KIDS,
MS. BUXTON IS WITH
BLACK LIFE MAGAZINE.
SHE WANTS TO DO A
STORY ON ALL OF US.
NOW, I HAVEN'T DECIDED YET
WHETHER WE SHOULD DO THAT.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE
GONNA HAVE TO HAVE
A LITTLE FAMILY DISCUSSION.
YOU MEAN WE'LL GET OUR
PICTURE IN A MAGAZINE?
AND MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE WILL SEE US?
IS IT TOO EARLY TO
ORDER A HUNDRED COPIES?
I THINK WE JUST HAD
THE FAMILY DISCUSSION.
YOU REALLY ARE AN
OUTSTANDING FAMILY.
A STAR ATHLETE,
A PRIMA BALLERINA.
AND, UH, WHAT'S YOUR
SPECIALTY, ARNOLD?
UH...
I CAN EAT MY WEIGHT
IN HAMBURGERS.
THAT'S CUTE.
HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH, BUT CUTE.
WELL, ANYWAY, I CAN
GET SOME GOOD PICTURES
OF WILLIS WITH HIS FOOTBALL
AND KIMBERLY DOING
A FEW BALLET STEPS.
YEAH, AND I CAN WATCH.
OH, I'LL TAKE SOME SHOTS
OF YOU, TOO, ARNOLD.
YOU'RE CUTE.
CUTE GUYS FINISH LAST.
UM, WAS IT SOMETHING I SAID?
NO, NO, NO. I THINK IT'S
SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE SAID.
WILL YOU EXCUSE ME A MINUTE?
KIMBERLY, POUR SOME
COFFEE FOR MS. BUXTON.
SURE.
MAN, ABRAHAM,
I GOT A FAMILY THAT'S
SO GOOD AT EVERYTHING,
I LOOK LIKE A BUM.
EVEN YOU'RE BETTER THAN I AM.
YOU CAN HOLD YOUR BREATH
UNDERWATER LONGER THAN ME.
HEY.
ARNOLD.
WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU?
I JUST GOT THROUGH
TELLING ABRAHAM.
ASK HIM.
I THINK I KNOW.
BUT YOU SHOULDN'T FEEL LEFT OUT.
YOU CAN DO A LOT OF THINGS.
NAME ONE.
WELL, I CAN NAME SEVERAL.
YOU'RE A VERY GOOD STUDENT.

PRACTICE PUTTING IT TOGETHER,

KIMBERLY...
THAT WAS A VERY FAMILIAR TUNE.

SWEET GEORGIA BROWN.

STAR-SPANGLED BANNER.
OF COURSE. THEY'RE
VERY MUCH ALIKE.
YOU WANT ME TO PLAY IT AGAIN?
WELL, DON'T ALL SPEAK AT ONCE.
ARNOLD, LISTEN,
WHAT YOU DID WAS VERY...
INVENTIVE.
I ADMIRE YOUR IMAGINATION

WHO HAPPENS TO BE IN TOWN,
AND HE'S AGREED TO GIVE YOU

GUESS WHO IT IS, GANG?
A BIG CELEBRITY?
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

BIGGER THAN THAT.
ORSON WELLES.
IT'S A FAMOUS ATHLETE.
TOO TALL JONES.
TOO TALL JONES?!
RIGHT, AND SHE'S BRINGING
HIM HERE THIS AFTERNOON
TO TAKE SOME PICTURES BEFORE
WE GO OVER TO YOUR SCHOOL.
OH, MAN!
I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL
THE OTHER GUYS.
I GOTTA MAKE 30
OR 40 PHONE CALLS.
YEAH. ME, TOO.
GOLLY. I'M GONNA
HAVE MY PICTURE TAKEN
WITH A FAMOUS BASKETBALL PLAYER.
BASKETBALL?
HOCKEY?
MAN.
TOO TALL JONES IS COMING HERE,
AND ALL I CAN DO IS NOTHING.
BOY, I WISH I COULD
GO ON A CRUISE
WITH THE TIDY BOWL MAN!
NOW, NOW, ARNOLD.
I'M GONNA LOOK
LIKE A DUMMY TO HIM.
LISTEN, SON, I'M
SURE THAT YOU...
HEY.
HOW ABOUT YOUR MAGIC?
YOU'RE VERY GOOD AT THAT.
DO A MAGIC TRICK.
THAT'S A GREAT IDEA, DAD.
SURE. DO A LITTLE
TRICK FOR THEM.
NOT A LITTLE TRICK.
THE BIGGEST, BEST
TRICK IN THE WORLD.
IT'S IN MY MAGIC BOOK.
A DISAPPEARING TRICK.
NOW YOU'RE TALKING.
THERE'S ONLY ONE PROBLEM.
WHAT'S THAT?
WHERE CAN I FIND AN
ELEPHANT BY TOMORROW?
CHEESE!
LET ME TAKE ONE
MORE FOR INSURANCE.
SAY "CHEESE."
CHEESE!
THAT'S IT.
YOU KNOW, WE SAY CHEESE
WHEN WE GET OUR PICTURE TAKEN.
BUT I WONDER WHAT RATS SAY.
WELL I KNOW THAT
FRENCH RATS SAY...
"CAMERA BACK."
IT'S A LITTLE PARISIAN COMEDY.
THAT MUST BE TOO TALL.
I'LL GET IT.
HI. I'M ED "TOO TALL" JONES.
YOU SURE ARE.
I'M PHIL DRUMMOND.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
COME IN IF YOU CAN GET
THROUGH THE DOORWAY.
YOU KNOW MS. BUXTON.
THIS IS MY FAMILY. MY
DAUGHTER KIMBERLY,
MY TWO SONS WILLIS AND ARNOLD.
WOW.
MAN, YOU ARE TALL.
IF YOU FELL DOWN,
HALF OF YOU WOULD
BE OUT OF TOWN.
ARNOLD, I'LL BET
MR. JONES IS AS TIRED
OF HEARING JOKES
ABOUT HIS SIZE AS YOU ARE.
YOU MEAN LIKE "IF YOU CAN
GET THROUGH THE DOORWAY"?
YEAH, LIKE THAT.
THAT'S OK. I GET USED
TO PEOPLE ASKING ME
IF I RIPPED MYSELF OUT
OUT THE CONDOMINIUM.
LET ME HAVE YOUR COAT.
MAN, IT SURE IS GREAT
TO MEET YOU IN PERSON.
I WATCH YOU ON TV ALL THE TIME.
YOU KNOW I THINK
IT'S KIND OF CUTE
THE WAY YOU FOOTBALL PLAYERS
PAT EACH OTHER'S BEHINDS.
WELL, SHALL WE GET
DOWN TO BUSINESS?
TOO TALL, I'D LIKE SOME SHOTS
OF YOU WITH EACH OF THE KIDS.
SURE. WHENEVER YOU'RE
READY, JUST BLOW THE WHISTLE.
YOU GUYS GO AHEAD AND START.
I'VE GOTTA GET MY ACT TOGETHER.
ACT? WHAT KIND OF ACT?
MAGIC. IT'S, UH...
WELL, WE MAGICIANS CALL
IT PRESTO-INDIGESTION.
TOO TALL,
HOW ABOUT A LITTLE BODY CONTACT
WITH WILLIS FOR SOME SHOTS?
SAY, UH... OVER HERE.
ALL RIGHT.
LOOK OUT, TOO TALL.
HERE COMES WICKED WILLIS.
HUH!
AH HA! TOUCHDOWN.
HEY, REF, THIS KID'S A RINGER.
HE'S FRANCO HARRIS
WITHOUT THE BEARD.
THANKS A LOT, FELLAS.
OK, KIMBERLY,
HOW ABOUT A FEW
BALLET STEPS NOW?
GO AHEAD, SWEETHEART.
SHOW THEM WHAT YOU LEARNED
FOR ONLY $80,000.
CATCH ME, TOO
TALL. I'LL DO A LEAP.
I'M NOT A RECEIVER. I
HOPE I DON'T DROP YOU.
WOW!
THAT'S TERRIFIC!
BEAUTIFUL. SUCH
CHARM, SUCH GRACE.
KIMBERLY WASN'T BAD EITHER.
I'M READY!
HE'S READY.
NOW YOU ARE ALL IN
FOR A GREAT TREAT.
PLEASE BE SEATED.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
I TAKE PLEASURE IN
PRESENTING TO YOU
FOR THE FIRST TIME ANYWHERE
THE RENOWNED MAGICIAN
ARNOLDI THE GREAT!
YAY!
THANK YOU FOR THAT
STANDING OVATION.
ARNOLD, WE'RE SITTING.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT THE
MAGIC BOOK SAID TO SAY.
I WILL NOW AMUSE AND AMAZE YOU
BY MAKING MYSELF DISAPPEAR,
AND I'LL BE ASSISTED
BY MY LOVELY ASSISTANT.
LOVELY ASSISTANT?
WELL, PERHAPS NOT LOVELY.
INCREDIBLY ATTRACTIVE MAYBE.
ARE YOU READY,
ARNOLDI THE GREAT?
I AM READY.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
AND NOW, HE WILL PERFORM
THE MOST DIFFICULT
PART OF THE TRICK...
THE REAPPEARANCE
OF ARNOLDI THE GREAT.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
ALL RIGHT!
APPARENTLY ARNOLDI IS
STILL IN THE RE-ENTRY STAGE.
TAKE ANOTHER SHOT AT THAT.
1,2,3,4,5.
MAYBE HE'S UNDER THE HAT.
OK, ARNOLDI THE GREAT,
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
MAYBE HE'S HIDING IN THE DEN.
HOW COULD HE SNEAK OUT
WITHOUT US SEEING HIM?
I DON'T KNOW. HE WOULDN'T TELL
ME WHERE HE WAS GONNA HIDE.
LOOK IN THE DEN, WILLIS.
KIMBERLY, YOU LOOK
IN THE GUEST CLOSET.
I'LL LOOK OUT ON THE BALCONY.
YOU BETTER SHOW YOUR
FACE, ARNOLDI THE GREAT,
OR YOU'LL BE
ARNOLDI THE PUNISHED.
ARNOLD, WHERE ARE YOU?
COME ON OUT, ARNOLD!
YOU'RE GONNA GET IT, ARNOLD!
ARNOLD, WHERE ARE YOU?
THEY'LL NEVER FIND ME HERE.
I COULDN'T FIND HIM, DAD.
ME NEITHER.
ARE YOU SURE YOU'VE
LOOKED EVERYWHERE?
YUP. ME TOO.
DID YOU LOOK IN THE
LAUNDRY HAMPER?
I USED TO HIDE FOR HOURS
TILL I WAS 6 MONTHS OLD.
THEN I OUTGREW THE BUILDING.
I LOVE FAMILY HIJINKS,
MR. DRUMMOND,
BUT WE STILL HAVE
TO GET TOO TALL
TO WILLIS' AWARD CEREMONY.
WELL, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHERE HE COULD BE.
WE'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE.
LET'S GIVE IT ONE MORE LOOK
AND EVERYBODY PITCH IN.
HEE HEE HEE.
ARNOLD.
WHOO-HOO.
ARNOLD.
HA HA HA!
ARNOLD!
SHH!
HAVE YOU FLIPPED YOUR FRIJOLES?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE?
WILLIS, I DECIDED TO DISAPPEAR
SO NO ONE COULD FIND ME,
NOT EVEN DAD.
DAD! DAD!
ARNOLD.
WHERE IS HE?
OUT THERE.
I CHECKED THE BALCONY.
WHERE IS HE?
OUT ON THE LEDGE.
THE LEDGE?
HE WAS THERE A SECOND AGO.
WELL, IF HE WAS THERE,
WHERE WOULD HE BE...?
FOOLED YOU AGAIN.
THAT'S SOME TRICK, HUH?
ARNOLD, YOU COME
HERE RIGHT THIS SECOND
OR I'LL SHOW YOU A TRICK
THAT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET.
BUT I WAS JUST TRYING TO
SHOW THE LADY AND TOO TALL
THAT WILLIS AND KIMBERLY
WEREN'T THE ONLY ONES
WHO COULD DO SOMETHING GREAT.
NOW YOU COME BACK HERE
AND MOVE VERY SLOWLY.
YEAH, TAKE IT EASY, ARNOLD.
YEAH.
COME ON, YOU'LL
BE OK. YOU'LL BE OK.
ARNOLD, THERE IS
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
WHY SHOULD I WORRY?
I GOT OUT HERE, DIDN'T I?
YEAH, BUT WE WANT TO
GET YOU BACK IN ONE PIECE.
SO DON'T LOOK DOWN.
NOW WHAT'S WRONG
WITH LOOKING DOWN?
IT'S NOT THAT...
WILLIS, YOU AND YOUR BIG MOUTH!
I WOULDN'T HAVE LOOKED DOWN
IF YOU DIDN'T SAY
NOT TO LOOK DOWN.
IT'S OK, ARNOLD. IT'S OK.
IT'S OK.
DON'T BE AFRAID.
JUST STAY WALK
AND CALM OVER HERE.
I MEAN, JUST STAY CALM
AND WALK OVER HERE.
NO WAY. I CAN'T.
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE MY FRIEND.
OF COURSE YOU CAN.
LET GO OF THE BUILDING.
COME ON, ARNOLD.
IF YOU LET GO OF THE BUILDING
AND WALK OVER HERE,
I'LL COOK YOU A WHOLE
MESS OF SHORT RIBS.
YEAH.
IF I LET GO, I'LL BE A
WHOLE MESS OF SHORT RIBS.
SOMEBODY CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT AND THE POLICE.
I'LL DO IT.
I'LL TRY TO KEEP HIM CALM
AND SEE THAT HE DOESN'T PANIC.
WANT ME TO TALK TO HIM?
NO LET ME TALK TO HIM, DAD.
I CAN GET HIS MIND OFF OF IT.
OKAY, GO AHEAD,
WILLIS. GO AHEAD.
HEY, ARNOLD. WHAT'S UP?
NEVER MIND WHAT'S UP, WILLIS.
IT'S WHAT'S DOWN
THAT BOTHERS ME.
WELL, I THINK I'M
JUST GONNA HAVE TO
GO OUT THERE AND
TRY AND GET HIM.
OH, NO, DADDY. DON'T YOU
THINK YOU OUGHT TO WAIT
FOR THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT TO GET HERE?
I CAN'T RISK IT. HE'S
LIABLE TO PANIC AND SLIP.
DAD. BE CAREFUL, DADDY.
ARNOLD... CAREFUL, DAD.
I'M COMING OUT TO GET YOU.
NOW I DON'T WANT YOU TO MOVE.
MOVE? I'M NOT EVEN GONNA BLINK.
IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL
BE HERE AS SOON AS THEY CAN.
BE CAREFUL, DAD.
STAY AGAINST THE WALL.
OK. GO SLOW.
NOW...
NOW, ARNOLD,
JUST RELAX.
I'M GONNA COME AND
BRING YOU TO SAFETY.
AND DON'T LOOK DOWN AGAIN.
DON'T WORRY. FROM NOW ON,
I'M NEVER LOOKING DOWN,
EVEN IF I'M STANDING
ON THE CURB.
OK, NOW.
BE CAREFUL, DADDY, PLEASE.
DAD.
HERE WE GO.
ARNOLD, I CAN'T
GET PAST THIS THING.
THE LEDGE IS TOO
NARROW FOR MY FEET.
YOU WANT TO BORROW MY SHOES?
NOW, ARNOLD,
STRETCH OUT YOUR HAND TO ME
AS FAR AS YOU CAN.
DAD!
AS FAR AS YOU CAN.
NOW TRY AND STRETCH YOURSELF
A LITTLE FARTHER.
C-CAN YOU TRY?
I'M TRYING!
I'M TRYING.
LET GO OF THE BUILDING.
NO WAY, NO HOW, NO CHANCE.
FORGET IT. OVER AND OUT.
COME ON, ARNOLD. IT'LL
ONLY BE FOR A MOMENT.
THAT'S ALL IT'LL TAKE
FOR ME TO WIND UP
AN UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT.
WELL, WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO FIND ANOTHER WAY.
NOW, ARNOLD,
I WANT YOU TO STAY RIGHT THERE.
DO NOT MOVE.
DON'T WORRY. I'M
NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
BE CAREFUL, DAD.
MR. DRUMMOND, PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
HANG IN THERE, BLOOD.
WILLIS, WOULD YOU MIND
NOT USING THE WORD "BLOOD"?
COME ON, COME ON.
OK. CAREFUL, DAD.
I... I JUST COULDN'T REACH HIM.
MY ARMS AREN'T LONG ENOUGH.
HEY, YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR LONG ARMS?
YOU GOT THE RIGHT GUY.
LET ME HAVE A GO AT IT.
OH, TOO TALL, I CAN'T
ASK YOU TO GO OUT THERE
AND TRY THAT. YOU
DIDN'T ASK. I'M OFFERING.
OK.
BE CAREFUL, TOO TALL.
EASY NOW.
HANG ON, LITTLE BUDDY.
I'M COMING TO GET YOU.
HOLD ON TO THE WALL.
STAY BACK NOW. STAY BACK.
STAY BACK.
OK, EASY DOES IT.
BE CAREFUL.
HEY, HOW WOULD YOU
LIKE TO SEE THE COWBOYS
NEXT TIME THEY PLAY?
I'D LOVE TO...
IF I'M STILL AROUND.
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.
I'LL DROP YOU UP ON THIS BACK
JUST LIKE YOU WERE A BALL.
CAREFUL AROUND THAT.
YEAH, THAT THING'S
NARROW. THAT'S TRICKY.
OK.
KEEP YOUR WEIGHT BACK.
PUT IT RIGHT HERE, PARTNER.
CAN YOU REACH?
OW... OK.
HOLD ON TO THE WALL,
ARNOLD, ON THE WAY BACK.
BE CAREFUL.
TAKE IT SLOW HERE.
THANKS, TOO TALL,
YOU SAVED MY LIFE.
OK, LET'S GO.
AY!
I GOT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT SOONER,
BUT I JUST DISCOVERED IT MYSELF.
WHAT IS IT?
I'M AFRAID OF HEIGHTS.
WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT TOO TALL?
HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER
OUT THERE YOU GUYS?
DAD HE'S NOT GOING TO MOVE
UNLESS YOU GET A
WHISTLE AND BLOW IT.
MR. DRUMMOND,
I GUESS I GOT ACROPHOBIA.
DOES THAT MEAN
YOU'RE A DRINKER TOO?
NO, IT'S A FANCY WORD
FOR FEAR OF HEIGHTS.
WELL WHAT'S A FANCY WORD FOR
LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
ARNOLD, DON'T SWEAR.
OH, WHAT THE HELL...
IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN.
COMING OUT, TOO TALL.
YOU ALMOST FELL
LAST TIME. BE CAREFUL.
HOLD ON, DAD. HANG IN
THERE. I'LL BE RIGHT OUT.
HEY, I'M SORRY I DIDN'T KNOW
ABOUT THIS LITTLE HANG-UP SOONER.
BUT... THIS IS MY
FIRST EXPERIENCE
WITH A FAMILY OF STEEPLEJACKS.
OK, NOW, JUST TAKE MY HAND.
OK, NOW, EVERYBODY HANG ON.
HERE WE GO.
BE CAREFUL, DAD.
TAKE IT SLOW, SLOWLY.
HOW'S ARNOLD DOING?
WHO?
REMEMBER ME?
I MUST BE GETTING AMNESIA, TOO.
OK. LET'S GO BACK. HERE WE GO.
SMALL STEPS NOW.
NOT TOO FAR.
ARNOLD. CAN YOU HOLD
YOUR HAND OUT, ARNOLD?
TELL ME WHEN YOU GOT HIM.
OK, I GOT HIM.
OH! HANG ON.
HERE WE GO. HERE WE GO.
WE'RE NEARLY THERE.
OK, NOW TAKE IT EASY.
CAREFUL, DAD.
DAD, YOU'RE SAFE.
GLAD TO SEE YOU, TOO.
ARNOLD.
ARNOLD!
DAD, I'M SORRY I CAUSED
ALL THIS TROUBLE.
SO AM I.
ARNOLD, WHAT YOU
DID WAS UNFORGIVABLE.
YOU NOT ONLY
ENDANGERED YOUR LIFE,
YOU ENDANGERED OUR LIVES, TOO.
NOW DON'T YOU
EVER, EVER, EVER...
DO A DUMB THING LIKE THAT AGAIN.
I GUESS YOU'RE GONNA
GROUND ME NOW, HUH?
YOU BET YOUR LIFE.
I'M GONNA GROUND
YOU FOR A WHOLE WEEK.
MAKE THAT 2 WEEKS.
ANYTHING CONNECTED
WITH THE GROUND
IS ALL RIGHT WITH ME.
TOO TALL, I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO THANK YOU
FOR RISKING YOUR LIFE OUT THERE.
HEY, THAT'S OK.
BUT FROM NOW ON, I'M NOT
GONNA STAND ON ANYTHING
HIGHER THAN A
QUARTERBACK'S HEAD.
OH, THERE'S THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
I BETTER GO DOWN AND TELL
THEM EVERYTHING'S OKAY.
I GUESS WE CAN FORGET ABOUT
GOING TO MY AWARDS CEREMONY, HUH?
WHAT DO YOU SAY, TOO TALL?
UM, I'M OK. LET'S GO.
WELL, IF IT'S OK WITH TOO TALL,
IT'S OK WITH ME.
WHAT A STORY THIS IS GONNA MAKE!
ARNOLD, YOU JUST
WAIT TILL YOUR FRIENDS
SEE THOSE MAGAZINE PICTURES
OF YOU AND DAD AND TOO
TALL OUT ON THAT LEDGE.
PICTURES?! OH, NO!
I WAS SO WORRIED
ABOUT ALL OF YOU,
WHO COULD THINK
OF TAKING PICTURES?
DAD, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL
IF YOU AND TOO TALL AND ME
WERE TO STEP OUT
ON THE LEDGE AND...

IT'S SOMETHING YOU HEAR
AT EVERY SPORTING EVENT.
SWEET GEORGIA BROWN.
CLOSE. IT WAS THE
STAR-SPANGLED BANNER.
OF COURSE. THEY'RE
VERY MUCH ALIKE.
YOU WANT ME TO PLAY IT AGAIN?
WELL, DON'T ALL SPEAK AT ONCE.
ARNOLD, LISTEN,
WHAT YOU DID WAS VERY...
INVENTIVE.
I ADMIRE YOUR IMAGINATION
AND YOUR INITIATIVE.
I'LL FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO.
I ALSO ADMIRE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
I'LL GET IT.
HELLO? OH, HI, MS. BUXTON.
YES. YES, HE IS HOLD ON, PLEASE.
DADDY, IT'S THE LADY
FROM BLACK LIFE MAGAZINE.
THANKS. HI, MS.
BUXTON. WHAT'S UP?

HER MAGAZINE IS
ALSO DOING A STORY
ON A VERY POPULAR CELEBRITY
WHO HAPPENS TO BE IN TOWN,
AND HE'S AGREED TO GIVE YOU
YOUR AWARD TOMORROW, WILLIS.
GUESS WHO IT IS, GANG?
A BIG CELEBRITY?
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
UM, SAMMY DAVIS, JR.?
BIGGER THAN THAT.
ORSON WELLES.
IT'S A FAMOUS ATHLETE.
TOO TALL JONES.
TOO TALL JONES?!
RIGHT, AND SHE'S BRINGING
HIM HERE THIS AFTERNOON
TO TAKE SOME PICTURES BEFORE
WE GO OVER TO YOUR SCHOOL.
OH, MAN!
I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL
THE OTHER GUYS.
I GOTTA MAKE 30
OR 40 PHONE CALLS.
YEAH. ME, TOO.
GOLLY. I'M GONNA
HAVE MY PICTURE TAKEN
WITH A FAMOUS BASKETBALL PLAYER.
BASKETBALL?
HOCKEY?
MAN.
TOO TALL JONES IS COMING HERE,
AND ALL I CAN DO IS NOTHING.
BOY, I WISH I COULD
GO ON A CRUISE
WITH THE TIDY BOWL MAN!
NOW, NOW, ARNOLD.
I'M GONNA LOOK
LIKE A DUMMY TO HIM.
LISTEN, SON, I'M
SURE THAT YOU...
HEY.
HOW ABOUT YOUR MAGIC?
YOU'RE VERY GOOD AT THAT.
DO A MAGIC TRICK.
THAT'S A GREAT IDEA, DAD.
SURE. DO A LITTLE
TRICK FOR THEM.
NOT A LITTLE TRICK.
THE BIGGEST, BEST
TRICK IN THE WORLD.
IT'S IN MY MAGIC BOOK.
A DISAPPEARING TRICK.
NOW YOU'RE TALKING.
THERE'S ONLY ONE PROBLEM.
WHAT'S THAT?
WHERE CAN I FIND AN
ELEPHANT BY TOMORROW?
CHEESE!
LET ME TAKE ONE
MORE FOR INSURANCE.
SAY "CHEESE."
CHEESE!
THAT'S IT.
YOU KNOW, WE SAY CHEESE
WHEN WE GET OUR PICTURE TAKEN.
BUT I WONDER WHAT RATS SAY.
WELL I KNOW THAT
FRENCH RATS SAY...
"CAMERA BACK."
IT'S A LITTLE PARISIAN COMEDY.
THAT MUST BE TOO TALL.
I'LL GET IT.
HI. I'M ED "TOO TALL" JONES.
YOU SURE ARE.
I'M PHIL DRUMMOND.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
COME IN IF YOU CAN GET
THROUGH THE DOORWAY.
YOU KNOW MS. BUXTON.
THIS IS MY FAMILY. MY
DAUGHTER KIMBERLY,
MY TWO SONS WILLIS AND ARNOLD.
WOW.
MAN, YOU ARE TALL.
IF YOU FELL DOWN,
HALF OF YOU WOULD
BE OUT OF TOWN.
ARNOLD, I'LL BET
MR. JONES IS AS TIRED
OF HEARING JOKES
ABOUT HIS SIZE AS YOU ARE.
YOU MEAN LIKE "IF YOU CAN
GET THROUGH THE DOORWAY"?
YEAH, LIKE THAT.
THAT'S OK. I GET USED
TO PEOPLE ASKING ME
IF I RIPPED MYSELF OUT
OUT THE CONDOMINIUM.
LET ME HAVE YOUR COAT.
MAN, IT SURE IS GREAT
TO MEET YOU IN PERSON.
I WATCH YOU ON TV ALL THE TIME.
YOU KNOW I THINK
IT'S KIND OF CUTE
THE WAY YOU FOOTBALL PLAYERS
PAT EACH OTHER'S BEHINDS.
WELL, SHALL WE GET
DOWN TO BUSINESS?
TOO TALL, I'D LIKE SOME SHOTS
OF YOU WITH EACH OF THE KIDS.
SURE. WHENEVER YOU'RE
READY, JUST BLOW THE WHISTLE.
YOU GUYS GO AHEAD AND START.
I'VE GOTTA GET MY ACT TOGETHER.
ACT? WHAT KIND OF ACT?
MAGIC. IT'S, UH...
WELL, WE MAGICIANS CALL
IT PRESTO-INDIGESTION.
TOO TALL,
HOW ABOUT A LITTLE BODY CONTACT
WITH WILLIS FOR SOME SHOTS?
SAY, UH... OVER HERE.
ALL RIGHT.
LOOK OUT, TOO TALL.
HERE COMES WICKED WILLIS.
HUH!
AH HA! TOUCHDOWN.
HEY, REF, THIS KID'S A RINGER.
HE'S FRANCO HARRIS
WITHOUT THE BEARD.
THANKS A LOT, FELLAS.
OK, KIMBERLY,
HOW ABOUT A FEW
BALLET STEPS NOW?
GO AHEAD, SWEETHEART.
SHOW THEM WHAT YOU LEARNED
FOR ONLY $80,000.
CATCH ME, TOO
TALL. I'LL DO A LEAP.
I'M NOT A RECEIVER. I
HOPE I DON'T DROP YOU.
WOW!
THAT'S TERRIFIC!
BEAUTIFUL. SUCH
CHARM, SUCH GRACE.
KIMBERLY WASN'T BAD EITHER.
I'M READY!
HE'S READY.
NOW YOU ARE ALL IN
FOR A GREAT TREAT.
PLEASE BE SEATED.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
I TAKE PLEASURE IN
PRESENTING TO YOU
FOR THE FIRST TIME ANYWHERE
THE RENOWNED MAGICIAN
ARNOLDI THE GREAT!
YAY!
THANK YOU FOR THAT
STANDING OVATION.
ARNOLD, WE'RE SITTING.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT THE
MAGIC BOOK SAID TO SAY.
I WILL NOW AMUSE AND AMAZE YOU
BY MAKING MYSELF DISAPPEAR,
AND I'LL BE ASSISTED
BY MY LOVELY ASSISTANT.
LOVELY ASSISTANT?
WELL, PERHAPS NOT LOVELY.
INCREDIBLY ATTRACTIVE MAYBE.
ARE YOU READY,
ARNOLDI THE GREAT?
I AM READY.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
AND NOW, HE WILL PERFORM
THE MOST DIFFICULT
PART OF THE TRICK...
THE REAPPEARANCE
OF ARNOLDI THE GREAT.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
ALL RIGHT!
APPARENTLY ARNOLDI IS
STILL IN THE RE-ENTRY STAGE.
TAKE ANOTHER SHOT AT THAT.
1,2,3,4,5.
MAYBE HE'S UNDER THE HAT.
OK, ARNOLDI THE GREAT,
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
MAYBE HE'S HIDING IN THE DEN.
HOW COULD HE SNEAK OUT
WITHOUT US SEEING HIM?
I DON'T KNOW. HE WOULDN'T TELL
ME WHERE HE WAS GONNA HIDE.
LOOK IN THE DEN, WILLIS.
KIMBERLY, YOU LOOK
IN THE GUEST CLOSET.
I'LL LOOK OUT ON THE BALCONY.
YOU BETTER SHOW YOUR
FACE, ARNOLDI THE GREAT,
OR YOU'LL BE
ARNOLDI THE PUNISHED.
ARNOLD, WHERE ARE YOU?
COME ON OUT, ARNOLD!
YOU'RE GONNA GET IT, ARNOLD!
ARNOLD, WHERE ARE YOU?
THEY'LL NEVER FIND ME HERE.
I COULDN'T FIND HIM, DAD.
ME NEITHER.
ARE YOU SURE YOU'VE
LOOKED EVERYWHERE?
YUP. ME TOO.
DID YOU LOOK IN THE
LAUNDRY HAMPER?
I USED TO HIDE FOR HOURS
TILL I WAS 6 MONTHS OLD.
THEN I OUTGREW THE BUILDING.
I LOVE FAMILY HIJINKS,
MR. DRUMMOND,
BUT WE STILL HAVE
TO GET TOO TALL
TO WILLIS' AWARD CEREMONY.
WELL, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHERE HE COULD BE.
WE'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE.
LET'S GIVE IT ONE MORE LOOK
AND EVERYBODY PITCH IN.
HEE HEE HEE.
ARNOLD.
WHOO-HOO.
ARNOLD.
HA HA HA!
ARNOLD!
SHH!
HAVE YOU FLIPPED YOUR FRIJOLES?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE?
WILLIS, I DECIDED TO DISAPPEAR
SO NO ONE COULD FIND ME,
NOT EVEN DAD.
DAD! DAD!
ARNOLD.
WHERE IS HE?
OUT THERE.
I CHECKED THE BALCONY.
WHERE IS HE?
OUT ON THE LEDGE.
THE LEDGE?
HE WAS THERE A SECOND AGO.
WELL, IF HE WAS THERE,
WHERE WOULD HE BE...?
FOOLED YOU AGAIN.
THAT'S SOME TRICK, HUH?
ARNOLD, YOU COME
HERE RIGHT THIS SECOND
OR I'LL SHOW YOU A TRICK
THAT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET.
BUT I WAS JUST TRYING TO
SHOW THE LADY AND TOO TALL
THAT WILLIS AND KIMBERLY
WEREN'T THE ONLY ONES
WHO COULD DO SOMETHING GREAT.
NOW YOU COME BACK HERE
AND MOVE VERY SLOWLY.
YEAH, TAKE IT EASY, ARNOLD.
YEAH.
COME ON, YOU'LL
BE OK. YOU'LL BE OK.
ARNOLD, THERE IS
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
WHY SHOULD I WORRY?
I GOT OUT HERE, DIDN'T I?
YEAH, BUT WE WANT TO
GET YOU BACK IN ONE PIECE.
SO DON'T LOOK DOWN.
NOW WHAT'S WRONG
WITH LOOKING DOWN?
IT'S NOT THAT...
WILLIS, YOU AND YOUR BIG MOUTH!
I WOULDN'T HAVE LOOKED DOWN
IF YOU DIDN'T SAY
NOT TO LOOK DOWN.
IT'S OK, ARNOLD. IT'S OK.
IT'S OK.
DON'T BE AFRAID.
JUST STAY WALK
AND CALM OVER HERE.
I MEAN, JUST STAY CALM
AND WALK OVER HERE.
NO WAY. I CAN'T.
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE MY FRIEND.
OF COURSE YOU CAN.
LET GO OF THE BUILDING.
COME ON, ARNOLD.
IF YOU LET GO OF THE BUILDING
AND WALK OVER HERE,
I'LL COOK YOU A WHOLE
MESS OF SHORT RIBS.
YEAH.
IF I LET GO, I'LL BE A
WHOLE MESS OF SHORT RIBS.
SOMEBODY CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT AND THE POLICE.
I'LL DO IT.
I'LL TRY TO KEEP HIM CALM
AND SEE THAT HE DOESN'T PANIC.
WANT ME TO TALK TO HIM?
NO LET ME TALK TO HIM, DAD.
I CAN GET HIS MIND OFF OF IT.
OKAY, GO AHEAD,
WILLIS. GO AHEAD.
HEY, ARNOLD. WHAT'S UP?
NEVER MIND WHAT'S UP, WILLIS.
IT'S WHAT'S DOWN
THAT BOTHERS ME.
WELL, I THINK I'M
JUST GONNA HAVE TO
GO OUT THERE AND
TRY AND GET HIM.
OH, NO, DADDY. DON'T YOU
THINK YOU OUGHT TO WAIT
FOR THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT TO GET HERE?
I CAN'T RISK IT. HE'S
LIABLE TO PANIC AND SLIP.
DAD. BE CAREFUL, DADDY.
ARNOLD... CAREFUL, DAD.
I'M COMING OUT TO GET YOU.
NOW I DON'T WANT YOU TO MOVE.
MOVE? I'M NOT EVEN GONNA BLINK.
IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL
BE HERE AS SOON AS THEY CAN.
BE CAREFUL, DAD.
STAY AGAINST THE WALL.
OK. GO SLOW.
NOW...
NOW, ARNOLD,
JUST RELAX.
I'M GONNA COME AND
BRING YOU TO SAFETY.
AND DON'T LOOK DOWN AGAIN.
DON'T WORRY. FROM NOW ON,
I'M NEVER LOOKING DOWN,
EVEN IF I'M STANDING
ON THE CURB.
OK, NOW.
BE CAREFUL, DADDY, PLEASE.
DAD.
HERE WE GO.
ARNOLD, I CAN'T
GET PAST THIS THING.
THE LEDGE IS TOO
NARROW FOR MY FEET.
YOU WANT TO BORROW MY SHOES?
NOW, ARNOLD,
STRETCH OUT YOUR HAND TO ME
AS FAR AS YOU CAN.
DAD!
AS FAR AS YOU CAN.
NOW TRY AND STRETCH YOURSELF
A LITTLE FARTHER.
C-CAN YOU TRY?
I'M TRYING!
I'M TRYING.
LET GO OF THE BUILDING.
NO WAY, NO HOW, NO CHANCE.
FORGET IT. OVER AND OUT.
COME ON, ARNOLD. IT'LL
ONLY BE FOR A MOMENT.
THAT'S ALL IT'LL TAKE
FOR ME TO WIND UP
AN UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT.
WELL, WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO FIND ANOTHER WAY.
NOW, ARNOLD,
I WANT YOU TO STAY RIGHT THERE.
DO NOT MOVE.
DON'T WORRY. I'M
NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
BE CAREFUL, DAD.
MR. DRUMMOND, PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
HANG IN THERE, BLOOD.
WILLIS, WOULD YOU MIND
NOT USING THE WORD "BLOOD"?
COME ON, COME ON.
OK. CAREFUL, DAD.
I... I JUST COULDN'T REACH HIM.
MY ARMS AREN'T LONG ENOUGH.
HEY, YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR LONG ARMS?
YOU GOT THE RIGHT GUY.
LET ME HAVE A GO AT IT.
OH, TOO TALL, I CAN'T
ASK YOU TO GO OUT THERE
AND TRY THAT. YOU
DIDN'T ASK. I'M OFFERING.
OK.
BE CAREFUL, TOO TALL.
EASY NOW.
HANG ON, LITTLE BUDDY.
I'M COMING TO GET YOU.
HOLD ON TO THE WALL.
STAY BACK NOW. STAY BACK.
STAY BACK.
OK, EASY DOES IT.
BE CAREFUL.
HEY, HOW WOULD YOU
LIKE TO SEE THE COWBOYS
NEXT TIME THEY PLAY?
I'D LOVE TO...
IF I'M STILL AROUND.
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.
I'LL DROP YOU UP ON THIS BACK
JUST LIKE YOU WERE A BALL.
CAREFUL AROUND THAT.
YEAH, THAT THING'S
NARROW. THAT'S TRICKY.
OK.
KEEP YOUR WEIGHT BACK.
PUT IT RIGHT HERE, PARTNER.
CAN YOU REACH?
OW... OK.
HOLD ON TO THE WALL,
ARNOLD, ON THE WAY BACK.
BE CAREFUL.
TAKE IT SLOW HERE.
THANKS, TOO TALL,
YOU SAVED MY LIFE.
OK, LET'S GO.
AY!
I GOT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT SOONER,
BUT I JUST DISCOVERED IT MYSELF.
WHAT IS IT?
I'M AFRAID OF HEIGHTS.
WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT TOO TALL?
HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER
OUT THERE YOU GUYS?
DAD HE'S NOT GOING TO MOVE
UNLESS YOU GET A
WHISTLE AND BLOW IT.
MR. DRUMMOND,
I GUESS I GOT ACROPHOBIA.
DOES THAT MEAN
YOU'RE A DRINKER TOO?
NO, IT'S A FANCY WORD
FOR FEAR OF HEIGHTS.
WELL WHAT'S A FANCY WORD FOR
LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
ARNOLD, DON'T SWEAR.
OH, WHAT THE HELL...
IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN.
COMING OUT, TOO TALL.
YOU ALMOST FELL
LAST TIME. BE CAREFUL.
HOLD ON, DAD. HANG IN
THERE. I'LL BE RIGHT OUT.
HEY, I'M SORRY I DIDN'T KNOW
ABOUT THIS LITTLE HANG-UP SOONER.
BUT... THIS IS MY
FIRST EXPERIENCE
WITH A FAMILY OF STEEPLEJACKS.
OK, NOW, JUST TAKE MY HAND.
OK, NOW, EVERYBODY HANG ON.
HERE WE GO.
BE CAREFUL, DAD.
TAKE IT SLOW, SLOWLY.
HOW'S ARNOLD DOING?
WHO?
REMEMBER ME?
I MUST BE GETTING AMNESIA, TOO.
OK. LET'S GO BACK. HERE WE GO.
SMALL STEPS NOW.
NOT TOO FAR.
ARNOLD. CAN YOU HOLD
YOUR HAND OUT, ARNOLD?
TELL ME WHEN YOU GOT HIM.
OK, I GOT HIM.
OH! HANG ON.
HERE WE GO. HERE WE GO.
WE'RE NEARLY THERE.
OK, NOW TAKE IT EASY.
CAREFUL, DAD.
DAD, YOU'RE SAFE.
GLAD TO SEE YOU, TOO.
ARNOLD.
ARNOLD!
DAD, I'M SORRY I CAUSED
ALL THIS TROUBLE.
SO AM I.
ARNOLD, WHAT YOU
DID WAS UNFORGIVABLE.
YOU NOT ONLY
ENDANGERED YOUR LIFE,
YOU ENDANGERED OUR LIVES, TOO.
NOW DON'T YOU
EVER, EVER, EVER...
DO A DUMB THING LIKE THAT AGAIN.
I GUESS YOU'RE GONNA
GROUND ME NOW, HUH?
YOU BET YOUR LIFE.
I'M GONNA GROUND
YOU FOR A WHOLE WEEK.
MAKE THAT 2 WEEKS.
ANYTHING CONNECTED
WITH THE GROUND
IS ALL RIGHT WITH ME.
TOO TALL, I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO THANK YOU
FOR RISKING YOUR LIFE OUT THERE.
HEY, THAT'S OK.
BUT FROM NOW ON, I'M NOT
GONNA STAND ON ANYTHING
HIGHER THAN A
QUARTERBACK'S HEAD.
OH, THERE'S THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
I BETTER GO DOWN AND TELL
THEM EVERYTHING'S OKAY.
I GUESS WE CAN FORGET ABOUT
GOING TO MY AWARDS CEREMONY, HUH?
WHAT DO YOU SAY, TOO TALL?
UM, I'M OK. LET'S GO.
WELL, IF IT'S OK WITH TOO TALL,
IT'S OK WITH ME.
WHAT A STORY THIS IS GONNA MAKE!
ARNOLD, YOU JUST
WAIT TILL YOUR FRIENDS
SEE THOSE MAGAZINE PICTURES
OF YOU AND DAD AND TOO
TALL OUT ON THAT LEDGE.
PICTURES?! OH, NO!
I WAS SO WORRIED
ABOUT ALL OF YOU,
WHO COULD THINK
OF TAKING PICTURES?
DAD, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL
IF YOU AND TOO TALL AND ME
WERE TO STEP OUT
ON THE LEDGE AND...
ARNOLD!
