This is so exciting.

We're going to be relatives together.

I hope, I hope, I hope.

Chill out, chill out, chill out.

Guys, I didn't realize there'd be so many pledges.

I'm starting to get nervous.

Girl, please, you have nothing to worry about. Tia's the vice president. You're

a shoo -in. True that.

Now, my only chance is to kiss some presidential butt.

And there it is now. Excuse me.

Wow. I think Diavion wants to be a rose even more than I do. Oh, girl, please.

Diavion's mom promised her a new car if she became a rose.

Man, I would give up my car if I could be a rose.

Girl, nobody want your yellow gremlin.

There's nothing wrong with sunshine.

Attention, potential.

Will everyone please have a seat?

Hello? I'm Marissa Davis, and as the new president of Roses, I'd like to welcome

you to the Rosebud Tea.

At this time, take a moment to look at the girl to your right and the girl to

your left.

Now say, see ya, because tomorrow they probably won't be with you.

Unfortunately, we all can't be roses.

Maybe we shouldn't have sat next to each other.

And when Tamara's finished chatting, our vice president, Tia Landry, will tell

you more.

Sorry. Thanks, Marissa.

Now, if you guys make it into the rose garden, you'll have to perform

traditional pledge duties for one week before becoming a rose.

This process allows us to separate the self -absorbed from the selfless.

Do you think I should get the convertible Mustang or a hardtop?

Whatever you get, I call shotgun.

Shotgun!

to be.

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

got to do what's right for you.

This was nice. It's been a long time since we've been to a movie together.

Well, I figured you were between girlfriends, and I needed a break from

dates.

Oh, excuse me.

Vivica.

Well, hello, Ray.

Lisa. Mm -hmm.

So, how have you been, Raymond?

Well, I... He's been so busy.

His limousine business is better than ever.

And he's dating up a storm.

And each girl more beautiful than the last.

Vivica, I thought you were moving back to Chicago.

Yeah, so did I. Well, I was.

But I ran across this wonderful business opportunity right here in Detroit.

Yeah, well, can't you take it back to Chicago, would you?

You know, Lisa, I knew you had a great sense of humor the first time I saw one

of your dress designs.

Oh, well, I knew you had a great sense of humor the first time you tried to

one of those designs over those hips.

Oh, boy, look at the time.

Sorry, but we have to run. Good luck with your business, Vivica. Oh, I don't

need luck.

I've got know -how.

Why were you so nice to her?

Oh, Lisa, two people can break up and still be civil to one another.

Didn't you look good in that dress, though?

Don't you even think about trying to get back.

Hey,

Tamara.

Where have you been?

Typing Marissa's homework, shining her shoes, and cleaning out her locker.

But now, I'm all yours.

Good. Then you can type my paper, shine my shoes, and clean my locker.

That is so not funny.

You know, Tamara, I still can't believe they talked you into this pledging

stuff. I mean, you've always been your own woman. A free thinker.

That's what I like most about you.

Jordan, don't worry.

I'm still a free thinker, and nobody is going to tell me what to do.

Cool. You free to go to the movies?

Oh, I have to check with Marissa.

Tamara. What? It's pledge week.

All right, fine.

Just promise me one thing.

That you won't become one of those out -of -control, rose -obsessed crazy

I won't.

And Jordan, before we go, you want to guess what this free thinker has on her

mind?

Well, I'm kind of slow.

I need some hints.

Excuse me, Tamara.

But my term paper can't write itself.

Well, I'm sorry, Marissa. I need her here to help me lay out the paper.

I'll be glad to help you, Jordan.

Well,

it shows.

Well, it shows the problems.

No, it's okay. No, thanks. I'm all right.

Have it your way.

Coming tomorrow?

In a sec.

I'm sorry to ruin, but it's butt kissing time.

Well, at least somebody's getting kissed around here.

Mmm, my pomodoro sauce is complete.

That's it.

You're not going to cut some weenies up in there?

Gentlemen, we're preparing a fine gourmet meal. No weenies allowed.

You heard the man. No weenies. See you later.

That's cold, man.

So how are the appetizers coming?

Great, great, Theo. We made us some gourmet vanilla wafers and cheese

Vanilla wafers and cheese?

Yeah. Who's going to eat this junk?

Who knew vanilla wafers and cheese could be so tasty?

You look worn out. What you been up to? More bud business.

This time, Marissa ordered me to find the favorite snack of each row and

it to her.

Then where's my peanut cluster?

I ate it for strength.

Wait here. Try cheese nilla.

You kidding, right?

Man, all I want is a hot shower and my flannel PJs. And please, nobody wake me

up unless it's really, really important.

Hey, guys.

Is that who I think it is on TV?

It's Vivica!

Right! Bring it in here!

It's all a commotion, Lisa.

Miss Boo was on the tube.

Are you tired of bumper -to -bumper traffic?

Are you new in town and want more than just a quick ride to and from the

airport? Don't tell me she's starting her own limo service.

Monica's limo service, where we put a little lift into your lift.

And you wish her good luck on her new business.

I didn't know her new business was going to be my business.

So take a ride with me.

Or one of my all -female crew.

Hi, I'm Tiffany.

I'm Meet.

And I'm Shantae.

Give us a call, and we'll take you.

to go.

Oh, man.

What are you staring at?

Oh, oh.

Nothing.

I was on my way back into the kitchen. Come on, dog.

Dog, come on.

Can you believe this?

She learned all about the limo business from me and then started one of her own.

And that sexy part she stole from me.

What are you going to do?

I don't know. But I'm not taking this sitting down.

Thank you and come again.

Bye.

Bud.

Greetings, most beautiful Rose.

Hi, guys.

What's going on?

Well, it's the official Rosebud kidnapping.

Now, Bud, remove your coat.

Well, do we have to?

What was that, Tamara?

As you wish, most beautiful rose.

Uh, I don't remember pledges having to do this last year. They didn't. I

just thought it would be cute.

Now, buds, take your places.

Women in pajamas?

Man, I feel like I've died and gone to heaven.

Keep staring and it'll happen.

Over here, Roger.

So what will it be?

Have a milkshake.

Moo!

Hey, women, what's up with that?

Well, see, it's part of their rosebud initiation.

When you order dairy, they must moo.

Oh, well,

in that case, I'd also have some, uh, Hot chocolate.

Moo!

And a side of buttermilk.

Moo!

Okay, Roger, that's your limit.

And I was just about to ask for a Milky Way. Moo!

Yeah, don't have a cow.

Hi, Jordan.

So glad that you could make it.

What was with the urgent message for me to meet you here?

Oh, I just wanted to make sure that you heard me order a low -fat milk.

Moo!

What's going on?

Marissa's gone power mad.

I don't think Jordan could hear the entire herd mooing.

Straight line, please.

Tamara? Call me Elsie.

Silence!

I'd also like to order a double latte.

Moo!

Tamara, I didn't hear you.

Maybe you need to have your ears checked.

And maybe you should assume grazing position.

What?

Get down!

learned to obey their president.

Now all of you, down on your knees.

Girl, what are you doing? Girl, vroom, vroom.

Tamara, get down.

Marissa, get real.

Well, if you walk out that door, you can forget ever becoming a rose.

Jordan.

Any of you care to join her?

I can't

believe I just walked out on her. Well, I'm really

proud of you for standing up to Cruella de Rose.

I just couldn't take it anymore. Marissa was completely out of control.

That's right, but my baby was completely in control.

Hey, Tamir. I don't know why I even tried.

Now, are you okay?

Of course I'm not okay, Tia. I have never been so embarrassed.

And she had no right to treat you like that. Somebody needs to tell Marissa

to step off, and that somebody just might be me.

Right after I drive off the lot in my new Mustang.

We need to come up with a plan to get Tamara back in. Forget it.

Who wants to be in a club with a psycho president?

Okay, I'm ready for the party.

I got my jammy jams for the jammy jam.

You know what?

These cheese millers are even better than milk cheese.

Mm -hmm. Say we package them, make a fortune, and retire to Rio. Good idea.

Then we can use some of the profits to save my dad's business.

Tamara, your dad's business...

I mean, what clients would leave Ray's limos for a bunch of half -breath women?

So far, the Detroit Men's Club and the Pistons.

It's just like men to be interested in women.

Poor Ray.

I knew that Vivica was bad the minute I laid eyes on her.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. I was the one who saw through her from the

beginning. You, me, same thing.

Ladies, I'd like to make an announcement.

Ray Campbell is fighting back.

Follow me.

What's going on in here?

I want you ladies to see a hip new commercial I'm going to shoot.

Hit? Have you saw Vivica's commercial?

I gotta make things happen. I didn't build my empire just so Vivica could

it from me.

You go down.

Sit, sit, sit.

help us up.

So what do you think, Lisa?

I think I need to see you in the kitchen. Okay, you guys work on those

Now you're on the part for the chorus. Remember that. Slide, step, slide.

What's up, Lisa?

Ray, have you lost your mind?

You look like dancing morticians.

Take those off.

What is the matter with you?

Vivica's the matter with me.

I let her do my books, schedule my cars, organize my files. I practically

started her business for her. Now I'm going to beat her at her own game.

Ray, begging for business?

Oh, you can't stoop to Vivica's level. For one, you're too old to stoop that

low. And for two, you built your business on honesty, integrity, and

service. Now those are things she can't steal.

I know, you're right.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

Well, you were flat on the first verse when you spun when you should have slid.

Seriously, though, Ray, you have got to play your game.

Okay, okay, I'll stick with my old commercials.

But the guy's going to be so disappointed.

Um, I'd like to thank you all for coming to this emergency rose meeting.

Sorry I'm late.

So what's going on? Are some buds getting out of control?

Um... Actually, Marissa, I called this meeting because you're out of control.

That's impossible.

I'm the president.

Yeah, well, I'm the vice president, and I say that's very possible.

She's right. You're acting more like a thorn than a rose.

Well, beautiful one.

Now, because of you, Marissa, one of the buds who happens to be my sister

dropped out due to the ridiculous demands placed on her.

Yeah. And if you ask me... No one asked you.

Well,

no one asked me if you still have a crush on Jordan, but I think it's

That's not true.

He's been eyeing me.

I can't help it that he wants the Rose who's in charge.

Look, Roses, I think we all know what's going on here.

Now, at this time, I move we reinstate Tamara Campbell

into the...

Look at the girl to your left and look at the girl to your right.

Now say...

Hey,

come here. Yes?

What just happened?

I just called an emergency road meeting, and Miss Marissa just got impeached.

All right!

Wait a minute.

Doesn't that mean you're the new president?

Yep, yep.

Congratulations to you too, Tamara.

Who for?

Well, tomorrow, you and the rest of the Bud become full -fledged roses.

We voted you back in, Tamara!

We won!

Isn't this great, girl? We can be roses together. We can go to all the... Why am

I the only one excited about this?

Now, Tia, look.

Don't get me wrong, but...

I didn't want to join the club.

What?

But I thought you wanted to be a Rose, Tamera. No, no, no.

You wanted me to be a Rose.

Yeah, well, I guess I did talk you into it.

Tia, it's not your fault.

I'm just not the club type.

Yes, you are.

You were in the history club.

I quit before the American Revolution.

Okay, well, what about the Spanish club?

Tres dias.

You're right, you're not a club person.

Tia, we're two different people.

And that's totally cool.

Oh, my gosh!

Vivica's made the evening news!

What? Whatever you do, don't tell my dad about this.

Local limo diva, Vivica Scharf, take a ride with me limos. It's been arrested.

Dad!

is at the scene. Pat?

Thanks, Bob.

Vivica Shaw has been taken into custody today for attempting to bribe the

transportation commissioner.

When two police officers shut down her company, take a ride with me, because

none of her drivers had valid chauffeur's licenses.

Here they come now.

I heard her trying to hide under that cheap old coat.

That's my coat!

David, Michelle, anyone want to buy a slightly used limo?

Dad, where are you going?

I got to go see Vivica.

Oh, Ray, now, now, you're not going to run down there and try to help her, are

you? Please, woman, this is business.

I'm going to buy a used limo.

That is all.
