Watch. I bet the door's going to creak real loud.

This is so lame. I mean, she's really going to go in there by herself.

You know the maniac's in the cabin. The maniac's always in the cabin.

Can you believe it? No, can you?

This is so fake.

Yeah, this isn't going to scare anybody.

Hey!

You know, your girls shouldn't be watching these scary movies.

Dad, this is Friday the 13th, part 14.

It's time for you to go to bed.

Come on, Dad.

Tia gets to stay up till 11 on weekends.

Is that true, Tia?

Uh, yeah, sometimes.

Once in a while.

Never.

Way to go.

Come on, let's go to bed, both of you. Get the sack. Come on, give me a hug.

Good night, Dad.

Good night, Tia.

Good night, Mr. Campbell.

Yeah.

Okay, I know this might seem a little confusing, but we can explain.

You see, Tia just moved in here. She's my new sister.

Twin sisters.

See?

We just never met before.

Now, when we were babies, Tia and I were adopted by different families. I grew

up with my mom in downtown Detroit, and I live in the Burbs with my dad.

The film critic?

Well, actually, he runs a loan service.

I own the cinema service.

He owns the cinema service.

Anyway, Mom said it was fate that brought us together.

Dad said it was a coincidence.

Actually, it was a big sale at Fashion Fantasy.

Hey, Dad, look at these jeans. Aren't they great?

For what, a family of four?

Dad, these are the bomb.

That's just the word I was looking for.

I'm going to the men's department to see if I can find a shirt.

Or maybe a hat.

Hi.

Hi. Cool sweatshirt.

Oh, thanks. It's not mine.

Well, I mean, it could be mine if my dad lets me buy it. Not that I always come

here with my dad.

Hi.

Hi.

Well, I better try these on before I say hi again.

Check you later.

This is really cool.

How much is it? It'll go with everything.

How much is it? I can also wear it for school.

How much is it?

No, you don't understand. You see, you take 50 % off that price.

Oh, you're still not getting it.

But you can get that sweatshirt if you want.

Fine. I'll return this to the not -for -my -baby department.

Hey, so what did your old man say?

Excuse me?

Hey,

could you have something like this, only a little different, but not so much?

You know, like maybe the inner plaid could become like the outer plaid.

It has been a tough life, hasn't it?

Excuse me. Do you have this sweatshirt in blue?

Blue? Of course.

Hi, how you doing?

Yeah, right.

Who you are, miss?

Blue? For you.

Sweatshirt. You just asked for it.

No, I didn't. I want a sweater in blue.

Sweater.

Blue.

Of course.

Happy? What?

Here's your sweater.

Um, I asked you for a sweatshirt.

No, no.

No, no, no.

You asked me for a sweater.

Sweater.

No, I didn't. I asked you for sweatshirt.

Sweatshirt.

Of course.

Here you go, princess.

What's this? I wanted a sweater. No, no, no, no, no.

Don't tell me sweater.

You said sweat.

Shirt. I heard it. Sweat. Shirt. Sweat. Shirt.

I said sweater.

Sweater. That's it. That's it. Away from my area. Back, back, back.

Excuse me. I was wondering... I said back.

What did I do? Back, back, back. Go away.

Find anything, sweetheart?

No, that salesman yelled at me.

Honey, did you get your sweatshirt?

Yelled at my baby?

Excuse me, sir. There appears to be a slight misunderstanding concerning my

daughter.

Oh, you mean the scrubble maker?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. No need for name -calling here.

Yo, pinhead!

Where do you get off being rude to my daughter?

Madame, as I told your husband... Husband? He is not my husband.

Excuse me, miss. I'm speaking here. Not now. Pepe Le Pew owes my daughter an

apology.

Apologize.

Back away from the counter.

Tell your girlfriend here to step back.

She's not my girlfriend.

Now, look, mister, I'll stand here all day if I have to. I'll pitch a tent

here. I would like to speak to customer service. Back, back, back, back, back,

back. Back, back, back yourself, you little duck.

That's it. That's it. I'm calling security.

There's no reason for that. No, let him call security.

Come on, Tamara, let's go home.

What are you doing? We're going home. Hey, you let go of my baby. Hey, what do

you mean your baby? Hey, hey, watch that now. Wait a minute here.

Dad?

Mom?

She doesn't seem anything like you.

Well, I was adopted.

I was too.

You were? When were you born?

November 28, 1979.

No. No.

Yeah.

You're my sister.

You're my sister.

I mean, we both love rollerblading. And Beavis and Butthead. Ha, ha, cool, way

cool.

And the most unbelievable thing about was that when we were kids, we both had

hamsters named MC Hamster. But mine died.

So did mine.

As you can see, we've gotten pretty close.

Unfortunately, our parents didn't bond this quickly.

Thanks for the list.

We would have been at that bus stop forever.

I tell you, can you believe that adoption agency?

Well, I think we told them.

Yes. Let me ask you something. Do they call security every place you go?

How can they separate children like that?

You're right. It's outrageous.

Well, maybe it'll turn out for the best. You know, a very wise man once said,

out of adversity comes some of life's finest moments.

That's a good quote.

Mm -hmm. That Montel Williams is a very clever man.

Montel Williams?

Yeah. Used to watch it.

I work.

So taping.

I'll set the machine.

So, uh, are the girls okay out there?

Mm -hmm. Tia just took Tamara down the street to the park.

Oh, good.

Terrific.

Tia does know the way home, doesn't she?

Uh, excuse me for saying this, but you seem a little overprotective.

Why don't you hook up to a low jack?

Well, you see, I've been taking care of Tamara all by myself for a while now,

ever since my wife passed away.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Well, you know what Oprah said.

No, but I think I'll tape her.

The important thing is that the girls found each other. Yeah, you're right.

You know, this is a nice place you got here. It's very colorful.

Thanks. I went to design school.

Really? Mm -hmm. To be a fashion designer.

My boss, he just seems to me as a seamstress. Well,

I'm sure it'll all work out.

How do you know?

I don't really.

We really should be going.

Why doesn't Tamara just stay here for the weekend?

Here?

Oh, I got an idea. Why doesn't Tia come over to our house? Oh, we got a lot of

stuff. Badminton, ping pong, scrabble, shuffleboard.

Ooh, I'll get the polygrip and we'll eat some corn.

Now, Ray, maybe my imagination, but are you worried about this neighborhood?

Oh, no, no. This is a great neighborhood.

I come down here whenever I want to buy my radio back.

Is there a problem here?

No, no, no, no problem. It's just this is all happening a little too fast.

I mean, I practically don't even know you.

Oh, so I'm the problem?

No, no, no, not you.

Don't be silly. No, you're very, uh, very, uh... Very what?

Very earthy.

Earthy? You mean like a groundhog?

No, no, that's not what I mean. What I'm trying to say here is... Well, what are

you saying? What I'm saying is, hi. Hi.

This afternoon.

Yeah, isn't it cool? We'll be able to hang out like this every day.

Yeah, that's real cool.

Chili.

Okay, maybe our parents didn't like each other.

Maybe.

Okay, our parents definitely didn't like each other.

Like.

Okay, our parents didn't stand each other. It was like they were divorced

they'd never even been married.

But that wasn't going to keep us apart. So.

After the first weekend at my mom's, we spent the next weekend at my dad's.

Now, do you have a boyfriend?

Well, to tell you the truth, I have a little trouble talking to boys.

Really? I have trouble keeping quiet.

Well, maybe we're not as much alike as we thought.

Yeah, maybe.

Oh, that's my neighbor, Roger.

Let's have some fun with him.

Hurry up.

Hi, Tamara.

I just wanted to tell you that I saw you in school today, and you look really,

really radiant.

Roger, come in.

You invited me in?

What's wrong?

Nothing, nothing.

I just wanted you to meet a girlfriend of mine.

Well, I'll have trouble paying attention to anyone but you. Hi!

I don't know what's going on here, but I'm very, very...

We just found out we were twins. Isn't that cool?

Way cool.

But I can't believe I'm going to be living next door to both of you guys.

Well, actually, I live across town.

I have a bus pass.

It's nice to meet you, Roger.

Are you guys in the same class? No.

Roger's in the eighth grade.

Well, I'll be in ninth next year.

We'll be in the tenth.

At some point of your life, you're going to want a younger man.

Well, maybe you can introduce me to somebody.

Well... I guess we know who the evil twin is.

Hello. Oh, hi, Mom. How's your day?

Evidently not as good as his.

They charge admission to get in here?

Mom, this is Roger.

Hi. I hope we'll be seeing a lot of each other. I'm flattered, but these May

-December things never work out.

Hello, Lisa.

Oh, hello, Ray.

I had a little mishap out in front of your house.

I'm sorry, but I knocked your mailbox over.

Wait a minute.

You don't even have a car.

I was power walking. I hit it with my purse.

I believe this is yours.

Come on, Jill. Let's get going.

Oh, Mom, can we stay a little bit longer?

Yeah, please.

Yeah, please.

Well, I guess I could order out for some pizza if you really want to stay.

No thanks. I've had a rough day.

Well, if you gotta go, you gotta go.

I'll walk you to the bus stop.

Bye. Nice meeting you, Roger.

Call me.

Twins. I'm living my father's fantasy.

I brought you some milk and cookies.

Thanks, Mom.

And a piece of pie.

Uh -oh.

Now, Tia, now, it's not terrible news.

Some of it's good, real good. Some of it's bad, but a lot of it's good.

Mom, what's going on?

Well, you see, I had a little trouble with my boss.

One thing led to another. We had words.

One of us called the other male chauvinist pot -bellied pig, and one of

let go.

So he's not working there anymore?

No, you see, this was two weeks ago, and... Two weeks? Now...

It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay.

I don't get it. Every morning you've been getting dressed and going to work.

Well, looking for work is work.

It's the same thing as having a job. You just don't have a dental plan.

Are you all right?

Hey, I'm okay. I'm okay.

See, the thing is, a few days ago, I got a lead on a terrific job.

They're even going to let me do a little designing.

That's great. That's what you've always wanted.

It's in St. Louis.

St. Louis?

Tia, I tried to find something here. I did.

But, hey, St. Louis is a great city.

What about Tamir and me? Tia, now you found her. It's not like you're going to

lose her. She can come visit us. You can show her the arch. It's not the same.

Tia, I know it's not the same.

Tia, I have to work. But, Mom.

Can you just try and understand?

Leave the cookies.

I'll take the pie.

Our bus leaves in 20 minutes.

Have you ever been to Minneapolis, St. Paul?

No, it's got to be right for us. I mean, it's the 20th city.

Okay, come on, let's get over here.

How about over there?

Bus for Cleveland, leaving from Gate 12.

Have you ever run away before?

Are you kidding?

Yeah, me neither.

Good evening.

So, what are we going to do when we get there?

We'll be okay.

We'll get jobs as waitresses.

We'll get our own apartment.

And when we get enough money, we'll buy the restaurant.

That was my dream, too.

One of the most important things is we'll be together.

Tomorrow we'll go to the zoo.

Great, Dad.

You know, I kind of miss my mom already.

I kind of miss my dad.

But, I mean, we'll call him when we get there.

It's not like we're never going to see him again.

Tia! Tamara!

Told you.

Tamara! How'd they find us?

I left my mama notes. You left her notes? I was afraid she'd worry.

They're not here, Ray. They're gone. Our babies are gone.

We'll find them. We'll find them. What's gonna happen to them?

They got jobs as waitresses.

Thank you.

God, where's my child?

I miss my child.

do that to me again.

What were you girls thinking about?

Getting the daylights out of us. I'm really sorry, Mom. We just thought that

this way, Timmy and I can be together and you won't have to give up your job.

Oh, sweetheart.

That's still no excuse.

We shouldn't have been split up in the first place. And now that we found each

other, we want to stay together.

Tia, I already gave up the apartment. We don't have a choice.

Look, if I could do something, I'd do it. Believe me.

Hey, maybe they can move in with us.

Excuse me? Yeah, that'll be great.

Excuse me?

Listen, girls, I'm afraid that we don't move in together.

We're not strangers.

But we are.

We just want to grow up together, that's all.

Look, we're not going to solve anything here.

No, you're right. Let's go home and talk about all of this.

Can we talk about it over pizza? I'm kind of hungry.

Yeah, I saw a restaurant down the street.

I'm buying.

I'm eating.

Now leaving from Gate 5 for Minneapolis -St. Paul, the Twin Cities.

So, that night, we ate a lot of pizza, and our parents did a lot of

And a lot of arguing.

But, in the end, we think everything's gonna work out okay. After all,

got something out of it. We got to be together.

Oh, and my mom even got her own storeroom, so she can go into business

herself. And my dad got... What did dad get?

Well... He gets to live in a house full of beautiful women.

Actually, Ray, easy.

Precious combo.

Oh, this thing weighs a ton.

What you got in here?

Careful, Ray.

Those are my beauty aids.

You sure this living arrangement's going to work?

Well, you got to think positively, Ray. You know what Geraldo said.

No, but I'm sure I'm going to find out.

You know, Ray, we really haven't decided about the rent yet.

That's right. I forgot about that. Never mind.

No, no, no.

Since you brought it up, let's talk about it. Now, what did you pay at the

place? $30 a month.

Mom, didn't we pay $350?

Honey, we really got to work on your timing.

Okay, then $350. That's what you'll pay here.

Okay, Ray.

And to show my appreciation, I got a little gift for you.

Oh, thank you.

I want to make sure we got up on the right foot. How thoughtful of you.

So very, very thoughtful.

It's a mailbox.

I kind of figured that out.

I painted it myself.

Kind of figured that out, too.

I can't wait to put it right out in front of the house.

Oh, did I tell you about the notice?

Yes, we received the notice. From now on, they're going to throw our mail

out there in the alley.

You don't like it. No, no, I like it. Of course I do. It's you.

No, Ray.

It's us.

Somebody help me.

in our bedroom.
