Now this is what I call living the Cali life.

You know it.

And I am so glad my midterms are over.

I got one more chemistry.

That's not going to stop me from when I came to Cali for a... The party!

What's the party plan?

We're going to roll into the freshman midterm at 7, fly into the Delta party

8, fall into the Catholic gym at 10. Samira, when do you plan on studying for

your midterm?

Tomorrow night.

After? The 70s party!

Okay, okay.

But the twin who graduates is not going to support the twin who doesn't.

And you know what I say to that?

No problem, Mom.

Even though I'm glad to be with you, I thought I feel a thrill for me. Like you

got to do what's right for you.

Tamara, you look a little tired. Are you getting enough sleep?

Oh, sure.

If you count class time.

Bye, Dad.

Come on, Tia.

What? Oh,

thanks, Ray.

Don't I look like Starbucks?

You won't believe who got nominated at my club meeting last night.

Vivica Shaw.

That witch wants to be a member of the Professional Black Women of Detroit.

Well, she is black.

And she is a professional.

Yeah, well, I don't care how hard she works for the money.

That fat -biting floozy will never get to be a member of my club.

Oh, two tickets for the Whitmore Salad concert.

Oh, I've been trying to get these for months.

Well, who sent them?

The fat -biting floozy.

Typical Vivica bride.

She obviously doesn't know you.

Well, you obviously don't know me.

Because I'm going to be jamming with Whitney.

Man, we're going to kill you guys. This court is going to look like a crime

scene. Word.

All right, well, look, fellas, I got to get to work, but I got to apologize. I

know my skills was gone today.

No problem, man. Everybody got their off day.

Still my dog.

All right.

We got to drop Tyree.

Man, quit tripping, Jamal. You heard the man. He's had a bad day. That's all.

Well, it's a bad day to have a bad day, man. We lose one more game, we're out of

the playoffs.

What are you trying to say? What I'm trying to say is we need somebody who

hit the jumper.

Like my man over there.

No, no, no, no, no. I'm not hearing that. Tyreek is my boy. Come on. Well,

boy is... Can I sugar this?

Struggling.

There. Party over here.

You stayed out all night?

Oh, my gosh.

I fell asleep.

Why does Afro feel like a fluffy pillow?

Girl, you better come back to the future and go take your midterm.

Yeah, I've been studying for the last four hours, and I can't remember

from the last three.

times like this i wish i had a twin forget it uh -uh

tamera i am not taking your midterm oh come on tia this is what we do we're

twins come on i messed up you take the test yeah well not this time tia but

chemistry is like your favorite subject to me it's a test to you

This will be the last time. Yeah, well, that's what you said, the last time. I

was in high school.

Do you know what a liar I was?

This time, I mean it.

Please.

Please. Please, please, please, please, please.

Okay, okay, okay.

But this is the last time.

Thank you.

It's noon.

Well, then you better get going.

You don't want to make me late.

Hello,

Lisa. Vivica. Hello, Ray. You look well.

Well, I... So, Lisa, everything's arranged.

My station will plug the club's children's hospital benefit for free.

publicity, we'll be able to raise the money to build a new game center for the

kids. By the way, how's the new member selection going at the club?

This is our toughest year. We have so many qualified candidates and so few

openings. Really?

Mm -hmm.

Well, I'm off to ladle soup to the homeless.

Oh, but before I forget, I got you two seats on the ice for the Red Wings game

next week. Oh, Vivica, you shouldn't have.

but I'm glad you did. Thanks.

No problem.

Ta -ta.

Goodbye, Vivica.

Oh, goodbye, Ray.

Can't you see what she's up to?

Well, unlike you, Ray, I can handle Vivica. You can't get hit by a truck

you see it coming.

Is that so? First, Wynton, then free publicity, now Red Wing tickets?

It's obvious what she's really after.

Me.

Hey, T.

Hey,

how you doing, man? How you feeling? I'm cool. You know, I'm just trying to get

my rhythm back. Uh -huh.

Right. Look, the game of basketball.

Can we sit down for this?

Yeah.

Anyway, like I was saying, the game of basketball is a team sport.

And a team is like a jumbo jet.

Now, when an engine fails, the plane veers off course.

That's not good.

Right, right, right, right, right. So, as the captain of the team, it's my job

to put the plane back on course.

Is he?

You're by repairing the bad engine. Exactly, exactly.

Like you get what I'm saying. No, I don't understand.

And you're the bad engine.

Oh, man, you cutting me?

No, no, no, no, no. You still on the team.

You're just coming off the bench.

Man, you mean warming the bench.

That's messed up, man.

Look, I think he took it pretty well. Yeah.

Okay, everyone, please clear your desk. Take out your pencil.

Inside each booklet, you'll find a copy of the school's honor statement.

Please read it silently to yourself as I read it aloud.

On my honor... Oh, I'm sorry, Professor... Braxton.

Right.

Thank you.

And since you're late, perhaps you'll do us the honor of reading the honor

statement aloud.

Tamara.

Oh, that's me.

On my honor, I pledge that I will neither give nor receive outside help

on this examination.

And I will uphold the integrity of this university by reporting those

who violate the code.

As soon as you've signed the pledge, you may begin.

Are you all right, Tamara?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay.

Tell me all about my A.

Well, uh... I know my sister.

You don't want to throw off the curve.

So I got a B, right?

No.

Well, that's okay.

That's okay.

See, a B would have raised a few eyebrows anyway.

I came up with a C.

You didn't get a C.

You got a zero.

You better mean zero wrong.

I didn't take the midterm.

That honor statement.

I just didn't feel right. Oh, my gosh. See, how could you do this to me? I

thought you had my back.

What? I do.

But there are some things I just can't do, Tamera.

Even for you.

Well, thanks for telling me now.

Sorry to barge in on you like this, but I have great news, and I just wanted to

see your face when I told you.

Well, here's my face. Give up the good news.

Well, you know how every year the Mahogany Fashion Expo comes to Detroit?

Of course I do.

You know I read S .S. Ebony Jet in black hair today.

Well, color you excited, because I, Vivica Sinclair Shaw, just got you the

account to design all... the dresses for the next show.

You didn't.

Really? Vivica, I don't know what to say.

No words.

Hug.

That's all the celebrating about.

Vivica, Vivica, hook me up. She got me the Mahogany Fashion Expo account.

She did?

Well, actually, Lisa's talent did.

Now, Andre Jones is the organizer.

Give him a call in a couple of weeks. Oh, well, thanks, Vivica.

Now, you see that, Ray? I told you she wasn't trying to get back with you.

What?

Oh, really, Ray?

You know, you are a caution.

Okay,

it's not that funny.

Oh, I must go. I'm taping the first episode of my new show.

Visions with Vivica. Oh, just a little psychic thing I whipped up.

Besides, I don't want to make you late for your club meeting.

I'm sure you have a lot to discuss.

Well, see you later, sister friend.

I'll see you later, sister friend.

I can't believe Tyreek is tripping. I can't believe there's no jalapenos on

these nachos.

She should understand I did what was right. If we lose to O -House, we're out

the tournament. Did anybody catch Buffy last night?

Hey, sweetie.

Diabian.

Hey, Tia.

Diabian.

Wouldn't want you to miss that.

Well, I'll see you later, sweetie.

I've got to bounce.

Oh, you bounce, huh?

How you got to throw it all in my face, man?

Finally, we can talk about something other than... You know what? I asked you

help me out, and she just leaves me here. I'm there all season long. We get

the playoffs, they're in bed. He benches me.

And you know what? Yesterday she... Okay, okay, that's it.

Now, Tamara, you are being too hard on your sister.

But she's the one that let me down.

Oh, my bad, you're right. How dare she not cheat for you?

What is the big deal? We used to do this all the time in high school.

High school, elementary school, traffic school, it's all wrong.

Besides, if Tia would have gotten caught, both of you would have been

out.

You know what? Maybe I was a little too hard on Jordan.

No, you got dubbed.

Ray, this little chat was such a good idea.

Well, since you're now a member of the Professional Black Women's Club of

Detroit, I wanted to be the first to say congratulations and no hard feelings.

Oh, thank you, Ray. That's so sweet.

To me.

Ray,

have you seen the... Oh, Vivica.

What are you doing here? Well, Ray invited me over.

Oh, Ray.

No, it's not what you think.

Since we're bound to be seeing more each other, I wanted to clear the air.

Um, I was, um, talking to Andre about the fashion expo. You didn't call him

already.

Yes, and it's a good thing I did, too, because he is not the person in charge.

In fact, he asked me for a job.

What?

Andre got downsides?

Oh, well.

I tried.

You tried to pull a fast one is what you did.

May I remind you that I'm a respected professional. I treat people that way,

that's how I expect to be treated. Blah, blah, blah, and your drama continues.

You're about to start a little drama of your own called How Vivica Didn't Get

Into the Club.

Well, as clever as that sounds, it's too little too late.

The club called me this morning.

I'm in.

Oh, no, you're not.

We don't vote for membership for two weeks.

Well, somebody is out of the loop.

Tonya Lewis called me and gave me the good news this morning. I believe she

said... Congratulations, Vivica.

I'd like to extend the hand of sisterhood to a new member of the Black

Professional Women's Club.

Ray,

I can't believe you would do something so low, so deceitful, so cruel.

So me, you make me so proud.

I hate to interrupt your little ha -ha.

you could give me, Vivica.

Goodbye, lady.

It's Delva.

I still feel bad about Tyreek.

But I'll get over it.

Buckley's in the hidden!

Man, I hope you guys are praying because you need a miracle.

Word.

You know, it'd be a miracle if you were to shut up.

Word!

Just give me one job.

You don't want to know.

Hey.

What's up?

The game is kind of close. Yeah.

Good news.

I went to see Professor Braxton.

He's letting me make up the exam.

How'd you manage that?

I told him I wasn't myself that day.

want to come back in i don't know all right i don't i don't want to mess up

little flight plan all right all right all right all right i messed up okay i

messed up and you should be on the court well thank you all right anyway theo

while i was there i took a look at the honor code and you were right i

have asked you to take the midterm yeah well i shouldn't have agreed to do it

And you know what? I can't expect you to bail me out every time I mess up.

Tamara, that doesn't mean I won't have your back.

I just don't have to be you to have it.

Bottom line, Tia, is I'll never, ever ask you to take my midterm from me

I'll just hold out for the final.

Now, who's going to tell Delvon if y 'all play some deep, maybe I can get a

shuttle?

Delvon! My brother.

Look at me, Al.

The game of basketball.

Hey, I just heard there's going to be a serious after -the -game jam.

Well, count me out, Dee.

I'm going to study for my midterm.

Oh, Tamara.

Sounding responsible already, huh?

Of course.

You know me.

So, uh, you'll be a little late for the party.

Of course, you know me.
