Would you cut it out of there? I'm getting paint chips in my fruit and

Sorry, Dad.

Uh, excuse me, bud. You have to forgive my sister. She's been double -dutching

day and night. Yep, because I'm getting ready for this.

Mm -hmm. It's this really cool street fair with great food.

And boys. And game booths. And boys. And live music. Did I mention there'd be

boys? There are other things to think about besides boys. Okay, okay, okay.

Well, there's this double -dutch contest, and I think I'm going to win,

I was pretty good as a kid. Mm -hmm, and so was I.

Amazing, huh?

We were doing the twin thing before we met.

We're even more alike than we thought.

You know what? I want some breakfast.

Me, too.

We're baffling science here.

See, look, I just don't understand why you don't want to sign up with me. We

make a great team. Tamara, I haven't double -dutched since I was 10 years

So? All you need is a little brush -up.

Hey, Tia, first prize is all the shoes you can carry out of Shoe Shack City.

I've been practicing.

I can carry 33 pairs if I put five in my pants.

Tamara, give it up.

Double Dutch is for kids. I mean, don't you think we're a little too grown up to

be doing this sort of thing? Look!

I ain't ever gonna let you go.

Are you sure you don't want to sign up? Come on, Tia, we need another jumper.

No, hey, you guys, you'll find someone. Don't worry.

But you know... Okay, fine, you guys.

Tia says no, it's final. I know my sister.

Thanks, Tamara.

You're welcome, Tia.

Oh, please, please, please, please, Tamara.

Okay, fine.

Well, I'm not giving you any shoes.

Don't even ask to borrow.

Have you been keeping it real?

So what's you doing here?

I know it's not for the contest.

Well, actually, I... Didn't think so.

Because I'm in.

When we were kids, you were always scared to come up against me.

And I guess you still are.

That's a lie. Oh, yeah?

Then why'd you quit the citywide finals in fourth grade?

Didn't even sign up in the fifth and sixth.

Look, I had other things to do, okay?

Double Dutch wasn't all that important to me. And anyway... Ha!

Maybe that's why you cried every time I beat you. I think you're going to cry

right now.

That just wouldn't blame you if you did.

You must hurt to be a loser.

Look, forget the contest.

No way you could win.

From jump, you were never that good anyway.

All right, Tamir.

Sign me up for Double Dutch.

I just joined the team. Yes!

old home movies of Tamara and me.

This family day celebration coming up has got me kind of nostalgic for my own

family. Oh, look at my baby.

Come on, pumpkin.

Throw daddy the ball.

Come on.

Throw daddy the ball. Come on, pumpkin.

Pumpkin. Oh, please, not again. Come back here, Tamara. Leave that boy alone.

When she was that age, I thought it was cute.

Oh, don't worry. She'll outgrow it. Tia was just like that when she was her age.

We'd be sitting in the park, and some boy would pass by, and Tia would take

after him like a bat out of... Oh, wait a minute. That was me.

Hold on, Ms. Landry.

Hey, Mr. Campbell.

It says here that Ray's Limos is a proud sponsor of the up -and -coming Black

Family Day celebration.

That's right, Roger.

Hey, where'd you get those? At the mall or the market?

Well, actually, I found them blowing across your line.

There's about a hundred of them spilling outside your garbage can.

Yes, sir.

I told you to hand those out around town.

Look, I'm sorry, Ray, but I volunteered for family day, too, and I was just busy

preparing for my own job.

Oh, please, Louise. You're just gonna be judging a bake -off. Yeah, well,

judging a bake -off takes a lot of preparation.

I had to go out and buy me a whole new outfit, one befitting the dignity of my

position. And besides, I... Well, all right, all right. I just don't want to

hand out to stupid flies, okay?

Roger, what are you gonna do this year at the fair?

Well, I was gonna open my own booth, but apparently kissing is not considered a

family event.

Oh, you know Fed's got all kind of father -son events.

Ray, why don't you and Roger hook up with one of them?

Yeah, why not, Mr. C?

Uh, well, I can give you two reasons.

One, I'm not your father, and two, no.

Ray, let's have a little fireside chat.

Oh, Ray, come on now, have a happy meal.

Now, you know Roger's folks just split up. He could use a buddy right now.

And besides, I always love watching those big man, little man events. It's

of rugged.

Let the woman sit up and take notice.

Okay, Roger.

I'll do it. Okay, now let's see what we got here.

Oh, here's one. Oh, looks like it's the only one left open. Well, whatever it

is, sign us up.

Okay. Well, wait, wait. Aren't you going to tell us what it is?

Well, let's just say, better start kissing up to the judge.

Going to win, going to win, going to win.

Going to win, going to win.

Oh, yes.

Where you running?

Away from you.

Tia, Tia, honey, don't you think that you're working yourself just a little

hard? I'm sorry, Mom.

I got to win this contest. It's important.

I can see that. Tia, Tia, what is going on? Now, ever since you came back from

the park yesterday, it seems like all you care about is winning this contest.

Mom, that's ridiculous.

Oh, great.

I'm falling below my target heart rate.

Look, Mom, can't talk now.

I got to run.

Tamara?

Come on, Tamara, get out.

closet. It's time for calf crunches.

I don't want to crunch my calves anymore. I'm tired.

Zai's cranking down, Wacky. It's just a little jump rope contest. What are you

trying to prove?

That I can win it, that's all. I'm not a quitter.

Tia, I never said you were.

Zai, I'm going to be late. Where are you going?

Oh, I have a date with J .R. Thomas.

Ooh.

Just the sound of his name makes me giggle like tickle me almost.

J .R.? See?

Tamera, you can't go. We're in training. No dates till the contest is over.

Excuse you?

I'm sorry, Tamera, but when you're around a good -looking guy, you can't

on anything else.

I can focus.

It takes more than a pretty face. Ooh, look, Tyson.

There, there, there. Come on, Tamera, I really need you.

And don't you really want those shoes?

It's only for a few days. You can do it. No, I can't. I'm weak. I'm me.

Just think about it, Tamira.

First prize.

A big blue ribbon and a pant load for the hush puppies.

Okay, okay, okay.

Till the contest is over, I won't even look at you.

Hi, Tamir.

Where have you been?

Oh, nowhere.

A library?

Uh, it's Thursday.

The library's closed.

Did I say library?

Mm -hmm. I meant the museum.

The museum of libraries.

You know, they have really cool stuff, library and exhibits.

Don't go, Tamir.

I want to hear about your day.

You know, everything that happened after you broke up practice and took our jump

rope and ran out of the park screaming, I'm going to lasso me a man?

I don't remember.

Well, maybe I can help.

You smell like puppies.

No, I don't. Yes, you do.

Tamir, doesn't that cute guy JR work at the pet store?

You've been down there, haven't you, with him?

Darn right I have, Tia.

And we bottle fed the hamsters together.

It was a date, Tia, because I needed to see JR bad.

Now, what are you going to do about it?

Oh, my gosh, I can't believe this, Tamira.

Not only did you break your promise, but you broke training.

Look, you can't do this to me. I can't get even with Clemmie Collins without

you.

Who?

Oh, gosh.

Clemmie from my old neighborhood.

I saw her at the park, and she was all up in my face, same as ever.

Who the heck is Clemmie? How come you never mentioned her before?

Look, I don't have to tell you everything, do I?

Besides, you wouldn't understand.

T .O., we're twins.

There's nothing about you I wouldn't understand. We're like the same person.

No, we're not, Tamira.

Look, you grew up here in this house. I didn't.

I had a life of my own before I ever met you. So don't go telling me you

understand, because you don't understand anything.

Well, fine.

Fight your own battle.

Quit.

it mr campbell this time we got a cake well actually we have three cakes is

there a reason you use two round pans and one square one oh absolutely that's

squircle cake we didn't have the right pan to make a triangle what are you

talking about remember originality counts for 10 right miss landry oh yeah

may be so roger but looking at the other 90 i'll say uh pack it in suckers that

was a bad idea but i thank you recently for getting me into this Let's just call

it a day, Roger. Yeah, because you sure can't call it Kate.

Maybe I could use my influence to get you two into the Kenti -cloth quilting

business.

Uh, wait, Mr. C.

I could take it home and fix it.

Oh, Jess, forget it. I mean, it's useless. Just forget the whole thing.

I'll take that as a yes.

Where's Tamira?

Are you girls talking again?

No. I just want to tell her that this is all her fault and I couldn't find

anyone to replace her. So our team broke up and I'm out of the contest.

Well, it's hard to believe you couldn't find anyone to replace her. I mean, you

would think people would jump at the chance.

Oh, come on, ladies. I'm just trying to lighten up the mood here.

I hate it that you girls are fighting.

I've never seen Tamara so unhappy.

Woo -hoo!

I'd love to go to fair with you, J .R.

Oh, hi, Tia. I'm talking to J .R., my date.

Meet you by the corndogs at 3, okay?

And to think I was gonna waste my time jump roping tomorrow.

Oh, yeah?

Well, how about the time I wasted training you for... Oh, never mind. You

understand. Oh, of course I don't, Tia. How could I possibly understand anything

about you? I'm just your sister who's done everything with you for the last

years, but that doesn't count, does it? What? Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding,

ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!

That's the end of that round.

Tia, now you go chill by the chopping block, and Tamara, you go cool off by

cookie jar.

Go!

Now, we're going to settle this right now.

What is this all about, Tamara?

I don't know. Ask her.

She's been, like, totally crazy ever since she talked to this girl named

Clemmie.

Tamara?

Clemmie Collins?

Well, Tia, honey, why didn't you tell me that you ran into her? Mom, because it

wasn't that important.

Look, I don't want to talk about it, okay?

See? See?

Would somebody clue me? Who's Clemmie?

She's a nasty little thing.

She always knew just what to say to make my baby cry.

Well, it looks like she hasn't lost her touch.

Tamara, obviously your sister has really been hurt.

Maybe you could try to be a little more understanding.

Oh, no, not you too.

What about my feelings?

She's been taking this all out on me.

What, Tamara?

No, no, I don't want to talk about it.

Ray, if you want to go to the Black Family Day celebration, do you have to

a family?

I was hoping you were still up. Come here, honey. There's something I want

to see.

Oh, no.

I wish Dad would burn those old home movies.

Hey, I don't remember having that haircut.

That's not you, honey. That's your sister.

Wait for me.

Wait for me.

Wait for me.

Wait for me. Wait for me. Wait for me.

Wait for me. Wait for me. Wait for me. Wait for me. Wait for me.

so hurt well honey mainly it was her pride and you know when you have

as sensitive as tia and your pride gets hurt take a long time to heal

lisa maybe t is right

there's a lot about her i didn't know

Oh, Roger, there you are. I was afraid you weren't going to make it.

Well, perfection shouldn't be heard, Mr. Campbell. When it comes to perfection,

you can't touch this.

I said you can't touch this.

Somebody over there's choking, burn some chili.

I thought you were going to judge the bait contest.

Oh, that's later. Anyway, this judge's badge, it'll get you in anyway.

I've had a very fun family feel 10 minutes, but I don't want to stay here

watch Clingy win the contest, so why can't I just go home?

Because if you do, then Clemmie will win more than just a trip to Shushak City.

She'll just have gotten to you again, and she will keep getting to you until

say it's over.

Now, Tia, honey, sometimes it's okay to let your past drive you, but, baby, you

can't let it drive you crazy.

Thanks, Mom.

Hey, everybody, the catfish cook -off will begin in two minutes.

Excuse me, baby, I got two minutes to get clear across the park.

Get off the bench!

Get impertinent with a hint of mocha.

Now that's just good.

Bucket!

She's going to taste ours.

Toby.

Where are you going?

You can get it for $17 .99 at Otto's Bakery. Unless you get it a day old,

you get it for eight and a quarter. You tell them Lisa sent it. Anyway, I'm

afraid that I'll have to disqualify cake number six.

All right, where's number six?

Show your cheating face.

Come on, I want to see your cake -buying butt right here, right now, number six.

You're number six.

I'm not, I'm number nine.

I did.

I went to Otto's last night and bought the cake.

Roger, why in the world would you do such a thing?

I really enjoyed hanging out with you.

I thought if we won, you'd want to do more father and son stuff.

Okay, how's this?

Roger, go to your room and never bother those nice neighbors again.

Dang.

Okay, okay.

I admit it. Our time together was kind of fun.

Great. So what are we doing next weekend?

Sorry.

Oh.

I want to talk. You first.

No, me first, Tamara.

Look, I pushed you way too hard, and I never even told you why.

It was just that I was thinking like I was eight years old again, and I was

ashamed of that.

And I'm even more ashamed because...

I didn't trust you with my feelings.

I'm sorry, Tamera.

Now you.

Tia.

You should have let me talk first.

I was going to tell you you didn't have to apologize.

I did.

Hey!

Queen Latia!

Let me guess.

Clemmie?

Yep.

Clemmie, this is my sister Tamera. Now what do you want?

Well, I wanted to whoop your behind.

Guess I won't get the chance.

Why'd you cross your name off the list?

Because it's over.

What do you mean?

Contest starts at half an hour.

Come on, sign up, crybaby.

Who you calling crybaby? No, Tamera, I can handle it.

Finally.

Look, I'm not playing anymore.

And I'm not just talking jump rope.

So why don't you take your tight, stupid little girl, eight -year -old crybaby

calling, live in a... the path behind and step because i am so over you okay

hey where you going don't you walk away from me come on tamera

let's jump a little rope just for the fun of it

Roger, what are you going to do at the fair this year?

Well, hopefully... So,

Roger, what are you going to do this year?

All right, I'm over here.

Okay.

So, Roger, what are you going to do this year at the fair?

What are you going to do this year at the fair? What are you going to do at

fair this year?

But I ain't on camera. I had my line when I was on camera.
