"Sanford and Son" A Visit from Lena Horne (TV Episode 1973) - Redd Foxx as Fred G. Sanford

Fred G. Sanford : See, Miss Horne, I'm a fan of yours, I mean a real big fan. I saw your movie "Stormy Weather" 38 times.

Lena Horne : You're joking. You mean to tell me you paid to see "Stormy Weather" 38 times?

Fred G. Sanford : No, I only paid once. I went in on a Saturday and came out on a Wednesday evening.
Lena Horne : I didn't mean to startle you, but what are you doing in my dressing room?

Fred G. Sanford : Right now I'm having a heart attack.
Lena Horne : [Discussing Lamont] Well, doesn't he go to school?

Fred G. Sanford : Not anymore. He's a drop in.

Lena Horne : You mean a drop out?

Fred G. Sanford : No, a drop in. He dropped in a few times then he just quit.
Lena Horne : [Asking about "little" Lamont] Oh, is he asleep?

Fred G. Sanford : Just went to sleep.

Lena Horne : Oh, I'm so sorry. I could've helped put him into his 'jammies.

Fred G. Sanford : Yeah, he would have liked that.
Fred G. Sanford : [Lena still hasn't arrived, and it's gotten so late that Fred and Lamont are about to go out to avoid Fred's pool room buddies]

[Fred hears a plane taking off from LAX and flying overhead, he looks up sadly]

Fred G. Sanford : There's goes Lena.

[Shortly afterwards, there's a knock on the door]

Fred G. Sanford : Gee whiz, are the guys here already?

[He opens the door]

Chauffeur : Is this the Sanford residence?

Fred G. Sanford : Yes.

[He walks away and Lena comes to the door]
