Come on, Mr. Brown.

It's only for one week. You can't stay here while they fumigate in your rat

house. No.

That's frat house.

No, in your case, that's rat house. Boy, you got enough rats over there to start

your own ghetto.

Okay, come on, please, Mr. B. Look, if you let me stay, I'll make you my

honorary frat brother.

Brother?

He's more like an honorary grandfather.

Okay, walk home.

You say one more thing, Derek's going to be sleeping in your bed tonight. Say

something else.

Uh, Derek, I wouldn't sleep in his bed without a raft if I were you.

Keep talking, and I'll tell Sasha where she can find her missing earrings.

You've been going to my stuff?

Yep, and yesterday's diary entry was a bore.

You need to get out of here.

Excuse me.

Yes, yes, excuse me.

It's good to be king.

Okay, Mr. B.

I'm pledging to my fraternity.

You know what?

You can forget about this because I already did. Come on, Mr. B. We step all

time.

I'm too old for that.

We do community service. Well, I can do that at church.

And we play games.

Shut up! What?

What kind of games I be playing?

Oh, why don't we play chess?

Don't you have to pledge him first?

Yeah. You're right, Joaquin.

Grab my hand.

Okay. Bow your head.

Repeat after me. And lead me to the promised land.

I like to dance

while naked in the shower watching his pianist.

Okay, that's good enough. Okay. All right, welcome to our fraternity,

Thank you. Okay, what's the first game we're going to play?

Hot pie!

What the what?

Knock,

knock. Hi, Ms. Simmons.

Hey, Marcy.

This is Marcy. She's a teacher's assistant. She's helping with the

committee. Hi, everybody.

I'm here to take natural shots, so act normal and forget I'm even here.

Yeah, just forget it.

Did you all just see that? You need to do the exact opposite.

Thank you for the demonstration, Ms. Simmons.

Well, I was just demonstrating.

All right, class. Thank you. You guys have a good weekend. Don't forget your

homework.

Well, now, this photo day for the school yearbook completely slipped my mind.

Yeah, right.

You should dress nice today.

Well, now, you look nice today also. As a matter of fact, you look nice

yesterday. You look nice the day before that.

You look nice all the time.

Thank you, Gordon. It's so refreshing to get a compliment that's not related to

my cooking.

Cora, those ribs you ate last night was the bomb.

I'm still licking my fingers.

What do you think?

Do I look like Carl Lewis?

You look more like Jerry Lewis.

Hey, did y 'all see that girl photographer?

Oh, as a matter of fact, she just went that way. And if you sprint, I'm sure

can catch her. Ready, set, go.

Whoa.

What'd I want?

You're not trying to get rid of me, are you?

Coach, me?

Not at all. Now, the school board, that's another story.

Oh, come on, man.

What, just because we lost 12 games in a row?

Well, that don't make me a bad coach.

From here on, the only way is up, right?

Go Gators!

Cor,

would you like to join me for lunch in the cafeteria tomorrow?

Oh, sure.

Good. I hear the food tastes a whole lot better now that they told the cooks to

wear hairnets.

Oh, Gordon, you're too much.

It's true.

Well... Hopefully it's good. Oh, it's definitely going to be good. I'll tell

what, you all right. You make my day, you know that?

Hey, what can I say? I appreciate you.

Very nice.

You guys make a great couple.

I got to go. Right.

Oh, this is my classroom.

Right. I think you should go.

Have a good day, Ms. Simmons.

I didn't wash this boy's butt.

Right here.

It's just stinking. Smelling like skunk and butt.

Smelling like skutz.

And there better not be nobody up there. I know that.

There better not be nobody up here. Somebody finna get baton whooped. I tell

that.

and I'm going to give you something to weep about.

Don't worry, Mr. Brown. We're using funny money. See?

Where's Garrett? Garrett, get in here!

What?

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

What'd I do?

Teaching this nine -year -old how to play poker?

Knowledge is power, Mr. Brown.

There ain't going to be no knowledge in my house. Y 'all get out. Break this up.

Hey, hey, hey. You heard Brother Brown. Clear it out.

Hey, hey. Don't forget.

You stole me 20 bucks, predator.

and to get your bachelor's degree. Not a bachelor.

Look nasty, stepping in with all these boys.

Stop being nasty.

Claire, we're going to have to get these kids out of here. They done shot up my

name, Gamora, and my dad is out.

What you talking about we?

You're the one who invited them. Nah, Derek tricked me.

I'm sorry, Mr. Brown.

Things just got a little bit out of hand, but I'll take care of everything.

See, you're trying to trick me again, Cara. You're trying to trick me.

like you.

Daddy, you never loved me.

It's because I'm light -skinned, isn't it?

What you doing with a beer in my house?

Duh, because we ran out of tequila.

Look, ain't gonna be no beer drinking in my house. No alcohol.

Y 'all hear that? Am I clear?

Fine.

Hot pie!

Everybody gather around.

I have an announcement to make.

Alright, Brother Brown wants us to get rid of all... alcohol.

All right.

On the count of three.

One, two, chug!

Well,

thank you for treating me to such a delicious lunch and sharing your

was great.

Well, actually not as great as your company.

Oh, thank you, Gordon.

Here we go again.

What do you mean?

Well, you complimenting me and me thanking you. Well, now, I can stop if

want me to. No, I didn't say that.

Actually, who am I fooling?

I wouldn't be able to stop if I tried.

Oh, well, I have to prep for my class.

Uh, Cora, I got to tell you, I still got very strong feelings for you. I mean,

stronger than when we were in high school. Well, that was a long time ago.

Actually, I've been kicking myself all along for letting you get away.

Well, but we're... We're good friends. We're like good friends.

And that's what I'm trying to say to you. I want to be more than just good

friends. Well, you know I'm dating... This is wrong. I'm dating... Reggie.

No, you and I both know Reggie's a nice guy, but he is not the man for you.

Why would you say something like that?

Well... Big C on the...

Hey, Cora, you got a dollar?

Oh, no, I'm good. Mama gave me one earlier.

I rest my case.

Gordon, I don't know what to say.

I know. I really should have made my intentions clearer.

Well, you told me that it was against school policy for a principal to date a

teacher. It is.

You're fired.

thing is a joke. No, no, no, no, no. I'm serious.

I would even transfer to another school if it meant that we could start dating.

But you know I'm dating Reggie.

And I like him. He's a nice guy.

I like cotton candy, but that doesn't mean it's any good for me.

I don't know. I'm confused. I need to get some water, some fresh air or

something. I don't know. Look, Cora.

Cora, wait a minute. Let me ask you a question.

I'm about to tie up my shoe.

I can't take this anymore.

All right, so let me ask you.

Would you marry Reggie if he asked you?

Well, he would have to ask me first.

Well, I'll take that back. He would have to ask his mother first and then me.

And then I would have to say, um... I'll think about it.

So... What you're really telling me is I've still got a chance.

Oh, they got soccer to me, cake, cookies, and cotton candy.

Oh, it's looking good for me right now.

We're about to have a cookout.

Yeah. Does Mr.

Brown know about your little cookout? Maybe I should go tell him. No, wait.

Brown said we couldn't party inside.

So we brought the party outside.

It'll be all right.

Now it's ruined.

But the party must go on. Come on, DJ, kick that. Let's drop it like it's hot.

I tell you what, y 'all better cool it off in here.

Come on, Mr. Brown.

Can you drop it?

I'm going to drop you if you don't get out my face.

Come on, old -timer.

Maybe you just can't do it.

What? Boy, I was dancing for you. I was born.

Okay, this shows what you got. I got more moves than prune juice.

Go Brown!

Go Brown!

Go Brown!

Go Brown!

Go Brown! Go Brown! I'm going to get him. I'm going to get him. I'm going to

him. I'm going to get him. What?

You can't. You ain't ready. I can do that.

Go Brown! You can't break it.

He's not in the house. I looked all over. He's not anywhere in there. He

come home with you?

Yeah, he did. Derek, have you seen him? No, I haven't seen him out here.

and I got a note that you wanted to see me.

Yes, Gordon.

I've been talking.

To whom?

Myself. My heart has been talking to my head.

Now be careful because your heart can fool you.

Well, my heart says that we still have something between us. That's what I

always say. Listen to your heart. Follow it. Follow your heart.

But my head says we had our chance.

Shh.

Tell your head to be quiet.

Gordon, I think it's best that we just stay friends.

But we are friends.

I want to be more than that.

You know, I think that photographer girl is trying to avoid me.

I didn't walk into something I wasn't supposed to walk into.

No, no.

Gordon and I were just finishing our conversation.

Hey, Coach, could you give us just a second?

Finish the conversation.

Finish? If it's work -related, by all means.

But...

There better not be no hanky -panky going on between you two.

You don't want to see me angry.

I mean, you would like me when I was angry.

You see, I've been known to just, Marcy, wait!

Are you sure that's the guy for you?

Reggie, Reggie's a nice man, and he makes me laugh.

In that outfit, he makes everybody laugh.

I really think we should just remain friends.

I respect that.

And I respect you.

I value what we have.

But, uh... I'll ask you again tomorrow.

Oh, Lord, I'm so confused.

I don't know what to do.

Just give me a sign, please. Just give me one sign.

Excuse me, Miss Simmons.

What are you doing here?

I wanted you to have this.

Oh. You and Principal Gordon make a great couple.

I looked everywhere. I looked all over his friend's house and we can't find

What should we do, Mr. Brown?

What you asking me for? I didn't lose him.

He did.

We've been all around the neighborhood.

We can't find him. You know what? This is all your fault. You and your little

fat brothers.

Got me all distracted, and now Wacom could be anywhere.

You know what? I hope ain't nobody in here got wards, because I'm calling the

police.

Brianna, get back here.

Yours is the Mr. Lena.

I hope I ain't too late while Cliff can be on the bus on his way to Puerto Rico.

What? You could be to Puerto Rico? No, Mr.

Brown, you're freaking me out.

It's a big building with books in it.

Why you ain't tell nobody?

I left a note. Didn't you guys see it? No, where?

Right here.

See? I'll be at the library if you need me.

Joaquin. Jeez, you guys are crazy.

Oh, my bad.

This is mine.

I probably should use a bow.

You need to learn to be more responsible.

What?

This comes from a man who just drowned a full slab of ribs.

You're my baby bass.

You better get out of my place.

Okay, Will and Sasha are about to be home. All these people have got to get

of here. You can't tell nobody nothing. You're a child. Instead of a child's

place, this is my house. Ain't nobody got to go nowhere. They live with me.

Hey, y 'all.

Look what I found.

Costume party, baby.

Give me my stuff. You give my stuff, too.

my custom clothes from the Stevie Wonder collection.

I tell you what, it's time for y 'all to get to stepping now.

Get to stepping. Oh yeah, get out. Bye.

Need my shoes.

Get out.

Take Mirage Scary with you.

Don't say nothing to me before I get, I just go off.

But you want some taters?

You, put my stuff there.

I work with your shiny lips.

Cora, I finally found that photographer girl. You did?

Yes, and she has agreed to take our portrait.

She what?

That's why I've been chasing after her.

I want us to start taking pictures together.

You mean like in the studio?

Exactly. Oh.

I want us to...

Start capturing our relationship now, so later on when we grow old and gray

together, we can remember these times.

Well, you're already gray.

Hey, besides, Mama says she gonna pay half.

You okay, Cor?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay. Gotta go. Game starts in 20 minutes.

You know, everybody thinks we're gonna lose.

But what do they know? They just the players.

And the refs.

And the fans.

And the coaching staff.

Good luck.

Thanks, baby.

Hey, you know, I'm really glad you're in my life.

You're not going to make this easy on me, are you?

Okay, show me, go ahead. All right, all right, watch, watch, watch me. Okay.

You!

You!

Hopper!

All right, your turn, your turn. Okay.

Woo! Ah!

Ah!

Woo!

Yeah, thank you for teaching me how to stoop.

It's step.

Stoop, step, whatever it is, I'm pooped.

Yes, Lord. Y 'all call it stepping, we call it shatting. Thank you.

Yes.

I just want to thank you for letting us stay here while our house got fumigated.

Yeah, well, the colonel say usually a lot of those rats will relocate.

Really? Yeah. Where'd they go?
