All language subtitles for Sister Sister s05e09 The Best Policy

Okay, perfect.

No, no, no. Just a touch of hairspray.

Ew! God, that is enough!

What are you trying to do, widen the
hole in the ozone layer? Oh, Tamir,

Who cares if the planet's destroyed by
radiation?

Senior pictures live on forever.

My sister makes a good point.

You see, if your senior picture bites,
not only will your classmates make fun

you, But 20 years later, your kids will
crack on you.

Then, your grandkids.

One second in time, they can haunt you
for the rest of your life.

Okay, Tia, on three. Wait, wait, wait.

Is my hair too poofy?

Can I get a little more hairspray?

Okay, Tia, on three. One, two, three.

Okay, Tamara, are you ready?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, I'm
cool.

Just keeping it real.

Okay, on three.

One... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait. Are you, like, gonna say, like,

two, three, smile?

Or just... Three.

Everybody see how different we have come
to be.

Step, step, step, step.

Even though I'm glad to be with ya, I
thought I'd feel a thrill for me like

got to do what's right for you.

Worry, Councilwoman Hicks.

City Hall's Woman of the Year should
look absolutely fabulous, and believe

you will.

Oh, of course your dress is almost done.

Mom, you haven't even started it. I've
got a sleeve. Press.

The press.

I was just asking if the press was going
to be there.

Oh, good, because this fabric
photographs like a dream.

You should see the work on the sleeve.
Yeah, because that's all there is.

Sure.

Yeah. Sure, you can try it on by
tomorrow.

All right, well, then, I'll see you
then.

Bye -bye.

Whew, girls, looks like I got another
all -nighter. Lisa, why did you tell

woman that big lie?

Oh, come on, that was just a little fib.

A big lie is Gino's down at Vitelli's
House of Fabrics believing I'm Italian.

You know, I never realized how dishonest
this world is.

Thank goodness I don't lie anymore.

Please. Your nose grew an inch on that
last statement alone.

Yep. In fact, I bet her a month's chores
that she can go a week without lying.

You? Mm -hmm. A whole week without
lying?

And I'm going to do it, too.

Okay, Tamara. I'm proud of you, honey.

Thank you.

And next month when you're doing Tia's
chores, I don't want to see any streaks

when you wax the floor.

And when you do the wash, I like my
cotton dried on the line.

Please.

Relax, Vivica. This delicious pasta
dinner is being prepared by Chef

Oh, boo, I wish you'd let me cook for
you.

Vivica, in that dress, you are cooking.

Dang, she's still here. Oh, hi, girls.
You're just in time.

I'm making dinner for your father.

Wait, wait, I thought you guys were
going to try out that new restaurant

tonight. Well, we were, but you can't
get near Le Petit Café without

reservation. Promise we'll get in by the
weekend.

I'm sure we will, honey.

So, don't you think it'll be oodle -the
-fun for all four of us to have dinner

together like a family?

Well, the truth is... She'd like to,
but, um, oh, my goodness, Mayor, you

big history paper due tomorrow.

Big paper!

Oh, wait a minute now. Come on, Tamara.

I mean, what could be more fun? Doing
homework?

are eating spaghetti with your father
and his best girl.

Well, to be honest, it's a major history
paper. And, you know, it counts for a

third of her grade.

Whole third grade.

Well, you gotta have dinner sometime.

So why not now?

Why not now?

Tamara, I bet you can't think of one
good reason.

I still don't feel comfortable around
you, Vivica.

Have I done something, boo?

Hold it right there, young lady.

What was all that about?

Well, Dad, she asked me an honest
question. I gave her an honest answer.

Don't try to get out of this with some
tricky argument.

Dad, Vivica doesn't want me to stay for
dinner.

She's just acting like that so she can
impress you. And anybody who acts that

phony isn't good enough for you. You
have no right to judge my relationship

Vivica. I'm not judging it.

I'm telling you my honest feelings.

I will not have you insulting Vivica.

No matter what you say, she does care
about me, and I care about her.

Well, then I guess there's nothing left
to say.

Oh, yes, there is.

Get upstairs and finish your history
paper.

Daddy?

Can't you bring me some spaghetti?

You want to hear the truth?

No.

I got crackers in my room.

Oh,

hello!

Come right in, Councilwoman.

Was that one of your lovely girls I
passed on the stairs?

Oh, well, that depends.

What did she say?

She just said hello.

Oh, then she's mine.

And this is her sister, Tia. Hi.

Let me make your day.

Now, does this say woman of the year or
what?

Well... And don't you love the cuffs and
the jacket?

Well... Well, what?

Don't get me wrong, Lisa.

It's lovely.

And you know I'm not an authority on
fashion.

Oh, here comes the big butt.

from my new image consultant.

It's a re -election year.

She's concerned about the youth vote.
She thinks I'm dressing too dowdy.

And you think this looks too dowdy?

I was thinking about something more like
that.

I hope you mean the drapes.

Don't you think, Tia, that I would look,
um, what do you young people say? Fat

in that dress.

Now, um, Councilwoman, now, this is a
copy of something that I made for Tina

Turner. Perfect.

We're about the same age.

Councilwoman, now, as your dress
designer, I think that... Don't you

When I accept that award, I'll make sure
the press knows you made my dress.

Oh, you don't have to do that.

I imagine you'll have to let out the
seams a tad.

Yeah, a tad and a bit.

Oh, you can drop it off at my office
at...

as you're done. Um, outie, my sisters.

Mom, she's gonna look toe -up from the
flow -up.

Why didn't you tell the truth?

Because I sent the truth to the movies.

Wait till you see the fairies. No, they
are so cute. I've seen it twice.

Come on, baby, have dinner with me
tonight. I'd love to, Todd, but I

have plans.

Well, I made reservations at Le Petit
Café. Really?

I've been dying to go there.

Well, then come with me.

Well, after the movie, let me make a
call and move some things around.

Excuse me.

Then there's this kind of scary part
with Harvey Keitel. That was not...

Oh

my

gosh.

I've got to go.

Oh, I thought you wanted to see this
movie.

Hey, get down in front.

They already are.

Well, I did it.

Councilwoman Hicks is now the proud
owner of the world's only size 18 mini

dress.

So, how does she look in it?

I didn't have the guts to stay and see
her put it on.

But she was so pleased she did invite me
to dinner before the awards tonight.

Well, are you going to go?

You bet I am.

It's that little petite cafe. That's the
place to see and be seen.

So far, the only place I've been seen is
standing outside.

You guys will not believe the thick,
disgusting thing

I saw at the movies today.

I thought it was rated PG.

Well, the movie was PG.

The audience was R.

Vivica was there, and she was all up on
some man.

I tell you, I haven't seen a lip lock
like that since... I've never seen a lip

lock like that.

What are you babbling about?

Vivica is two -timing my dad.

Oh, wait a minute, Tamara. Are you sure
it was her? I mean, maybe it was

somebody that looked like her. Right,
Tia. Maybe she has an identical twin

sister she doesn't know about, like that
could ever...

It was her, okay?

Calm down, Tamera. Now, calm down.

Calm down?

Calm down?

That hoochie is playing tonsil hockey
behind my dad's back.

Now, honey, now, we all know how you
feel about Vivica.

But sometimes, you know, we want to
believe something so badly, well, we see

what we want to see.

Like Councilwoman Hicks. Now, she looks
in the mirror, she sees Tina Turner.

Not her big thighs rolling down the
river.

being played like that by that Vivica?

Do you know how much that is going to
hurt him? And I'm the one that's got to

tell him the truth.

Tamara, now, before you even talk to
your dad, now, you better make sure of

you saw.

Oh, I'm sure.

I'm just not sure I'm going to tell my
dad.

Hello.

Oh, hi, sweetie.

Oh, just nothing. Just sitting here
putting a picture of us in a frame.

Oh, no.

You want me to bring over some soup or
something?

You sure?

Okay.

Well, I had a little something special
planned, but we can do it another night.

We'll feel better, Dumpling.

Yeah, bye.

Hey, Dad.

Hey. You busy?

No, just putting a picture of me and
Vivica in a frame.

Well, uh, before you slide the back in
the plate, um, we need to talk.

What's up?

Okay, well, Dad, I know you think that I
don't like Vivica and that I hate that

you guys are together, and that's true,
but that has nothing to do with what I'm

about to say.

Okay. And I know you think that I feel
threatened and neglected, and that's

true, too, but this has nothing to do
with what I'm about to say either.

Well, what does it have to do with?

I saw Vivica kissing a man at the movies
today.

This is so upsetting.

Dad, I know. I know it hurts. I'm sorry.

Yes, it does.

Tamara, why would you tell me something
we both know isn't true?

Dad, I saw her!

Tamara, Vivica is at home sick with the
flu. She's been in bed all day.

She has?

Yes, she has.

Oh, but... But, Dad, it looked just like
her. You know I wouldn't lie about

this.

Yeah, I know you wouldn't.

Well, Lisa said I thought because I
wanted to, but there are a whole lot of

things I'd rather see than that.

You know what?

I think it would do us both some good if
we spent a little time together.

Sure would, Dad.

All right.

What do you say to a fancy dinner
tonight, just the two of us?

Hey, guys, what's for dinner?

What do you say to a fancy dinner
tonight, just the three of us?

Sounds great, Dad.

Where are we going?

To the best restaurant in town.

Potato Mountain?

Okay, the second best restaurant.

Their petite cafe.

This place is great.

Your waitress will be with you in a
moment, but if you need anything, just

me know. I could use a haircut.

Enjoy your dinner, sir.

Reservations for two under Todd Wyatt.

Oh, dear.

I dropped my menu, Tia.

Oh, dear. You dropped your menu, too,
Tia.

Look over at the host's stand and tell
me what you see.

It's biblical.

Girls, would you get off the floor? This
isn't Potato Mountain.

I thought I saw a quarter.

She was wrong.

Okay, Dad.

Stay calm and look over at the woman at
the host's stand.

Ooh, you're right.

Must be the old spice.

You know, I feel guilty being here with
Vivica

Homestick all alone.

Maybe I should call and see how she is.

Oh, good idea.

After all, she's home all alone.

Okay, excuse me.

We can't let her see us.

Hey, honey, I'm sorry I'm late.

Don't tell me. Show me.

That's the card at the theater.

That's the lip lock.

Tamara, I really don't think we should
get in the middle of it.

I don't either.

Dad's got to find out for himself.

What do you mean?

Dad's got to find out for himself.

Vivica. I got a machine.

Poor thing probably can't talk.

Well, that's for sure.

Dad? Hmm?

Let's switch seats.

Why? Well, the lights are too dim over
here. I can't read my menu.

Look,

Ray, is that who I think it is over
there?

Yes, it is. That's Councilwoman Hicks.

Councilwoman Hicks. I mean, Hicks.

Charmed. And you've met Tia and Tamara.

Aren't you going to introduce me to your
friends?

Well, I guess I see how you caught the
flu.

Lisa, let's take our seats. I can't
afford to be seen in the middle of a

scandal.

I should have never put on that dress.

Who is this guy?

I'll tell you who I am.

I'm Ray Campbell, the man who used to
date Vivica.

Ray, can't we talk about this?

Oh, you want to talk more? Sure.

Let's talk about how it feels to date a
lying, two -timing user.

Come on, Todd.

Come on where?

I don't date lying, two -timing users
either.

Thanks for the tip, bro.

Everything is fine now.

We're about to enjoy a nice meal
together, and service has been great,

atmosphere just got a lot better.

I'm happy to hear that, sir.

Thank you.

Could you tell me what's going on over
there?

Well, what you just saw was the truth
coming out.

And there's just a little bit more left.

Oh? Oh, ma 'am, I should have told you
this sooner.

Councilwoman, you are a lovely middle
-aged lady, but you are not Tina Turner.

The suit I made for you will look lovely
on you. We have just enough time to go

get it before the ceremony.

But if you wear that dress, you will not
be woman of the year.

You'll be woman with rear.

I hope you're not mad.

Of course I'm mad.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Well, I didn't want to hurt your
feelings. That's my feelings. Lisa, I'm

politician. Last time the bus drivers
went on strike, they hung me in effigy

set me on fire.

Now let's go get that outfit.

Ray, give me some scabby to go.

Sir, are you okay, Dad?

No, I won't be until I give you the
apology you deserve.

Dad. Now let me finish.

Vivica had us all fooled, except you.

You even tried to warn me again this
afternoon, but I just wouldn't listen.

Dad, don't feel bad.

She was pretty convincing.

Mr. Campbell, if you ever have trouble
getting reservations, please feel free

call me. Thank you.

At home.

You dog.

Not only will your classmate make fun of
you, but 20 years later... The

second best restaurant in town.

Le Petit.

Le Petit. Le Petit. Last time the bus
drivers went on strike, they burned me

effigy and hung me on fire and messed it
up. I feel guilty about being here with

Pippa all alone at home.
