Want some milk, kitty?

Hey, did you have another

nightmare about the hamburger helper hand?

No, no, no. This is for real.

Somebody was on my fire escape.

Yeah. Daddy,

what's going on? Go back to bed, baby. There's a prowler on the loose and he's

going to murder all of us. Sweet dreams.

Everything's fine, baby. Just stay close to daddy.

Don't worry. I'm going to call the police.

I can't believe it. You had a problem on your fire escape?

What if it was Brianna's window he was peeping through?

Daddy! Everything's okay, baby, but until we catch this guy, you're sleeping

the bathtub.

Bye -bye.

You did not just walk up in here an hour late with no flowers, no excuse, and

still expect me to give you a little some -some.

So then what happened?

Let's just say we did it.

Hey, girls, what's crackin' like?

Asante lost it last night.

Girl, I know what you mean.

I lost it last night too.

I think it was a tuna surprise. My mama says we should sue the school.

Don't play dumb, girl.

I lost her virginity.

She was the last one.

Now we're all women.

Isn't that great, Brianna?

Yeah, yeah.

Women united.

In the cafeteria.

Hey, Brianna.

Thanks for letting me borrow your math book.

Oh, you're welcome.

Thanks for letting me use your math book.

Maybe I can borrow those lips sometime, Spirit.

Borrow. Buy.

Rent to own.

Well, how about a little security deposit?

I made her knees buckle.

Yo, that's game, player.

Hey, Brianna, I hate to ask you this, but can I borrow your English book?

Spirit English book. Yeah, thank you.

Thanks. Really saved my butt.

That's a butt worth saving.

Brianna, who is better, him or Josh?

Better at what?

You know, something, something.

Oh.

Well, you know, I mean, neither one was better. They were just

different. Yeah. Yeah, because, you know, boys are like snowflakes. No two

alike.

Right?

Wait a minute.

You two haven't done it yet, have you?

But you're not.

Virgin!

That did not just happen.

Yeah. We used to be the two most popular girls in school.

Yeah, I know.

Well, at this rate, we're going to be freaks like the girls in the mime club.

In the past two weeks, there have been reports of a suspicious character

around the building.

Lurking.

Someone broke into our mailboxes, and poor Dwayne here had a robbery attempt.

what does that tell you? That Dwayne has nothing worth stealing?

No, that we have to reclaim our neighborhood.

So tomorrow night, we are going to patrol our buildings and show these

that we mean business. That's right, that's right. Oh, Mike, and speaking of

business, can you not park your ice cream cart in my parking space? I'm on a

diet, and those locks are easy to pick.

Uh, Cheryl, uh... Everyone's leaving now.

I know. It's just that I, um... Arnaz is thinking about sex.

Your son is a 17 -year -old boy. That's all he's thinking about.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sure he's just thinking about puppies and clouds.

Flex, I'm serious.

Girls have been calling the house night and day.

He's been missing his curfew when he's out on dates. Has Arnaz's father spoken

to him?

His father is shacked up in Valley with some hoochie half his age selling pookie

shells on the beach.

Aunt Flex, could you have the talk with him? Oh, I don't know, Cheryl. It might

not be my place.

Please, Flex, I just... Hey, Mom, I got your note telling me to come here.

What's up? Mr. Washington wanted to talk to you about sex. Have a seat.

I'm gonna have a baby.

What are you gonna do about it?

I don't know, woman.

I'm going out for a pack of smokes.

We'll talk about this when I get back.

So you see, Arnaz, the fork goes off and never returns.

And a teaspoon grows up without a daddy.

See what I'm getting at?

No. You lost me when the knife came by to deliver the mail.

I see I'm going to need more visual aids.

All right.

Before he gets back, Arnaz, let's me and you talk.

Look, I know you're at the age where your body's going through some changes.

Some. Overnight, he grew four inches and facial hair. I caught my baby shaving.

Oh, please.

Look, you may be surprised to learn that you don't have just one brain, but two.

Mm -hmm, yep. When you talk to your mom, you use one brain. And when you talk to

a pretty girl, except for Brianna, you're thinking with the other brain.

Okay, I've heard enough.

Mommy's going to go home, and I'm going to look at your baby pictures, and I'm

going to remember a time when I had a sweet, hairless, brainless baby boy.

It's just us now.

This is just as awkward for me as it is for you.

Sit down.

Look, I know what you're going through. I've been there. I remember I had this

poster of Vanity.

Who?

Vanity. From Vanity 6?

And Apolloni replaced her?

Apple who?

The Pamela Anderson of the 80s. Ah.

When I was your age, I let the other brain think for the big brain, and I

up with a baby brain, which means... Miss Washington, can we wrap this up?

Exactly!

Look, I'm not your father, but I was a teenage father.

And if there's one thing I learned now, is that if you're going to do it,

always, man, not some of the time, not most of the time, always use protection.

There are a lot of scary things out there.

All right. I got it. I got it. All right.

Let's say you're Africa, and she's Japan, and there's a big earthquake.

All right.

And with each of Dakota's caressing, I burned with desire and shivered with

ecstasy.

Oh, girl, we're going to have the best sex lives in the whole cafeteria.

Yeah, this was a great idea. And with these books, we don't have to have sex

sound like we are. Yeah.

Okay, okay. My turn. My turn.

Chase and I got caught in a storm.

we sought shelter under the forgiving limbs of an elm tree.

And as I kissed his soft, warm lips... No, you didn't!

Yes, I did, girl.

Hungrily.

You better go on a diet, girl.

Get up out of here, spirit. Yes, Mr. Washington.

Daddy, please don't be mad. We're just reading these books for fun. Oh, fun.

Okay.

Lust in a log cabin.

Brianna, there's nothing fun about sex.

and say that to me.

Oh, okay. It's like picking a scab. It seems like a good idea at the time, but

then you're just left with a scar.

Are you calling me a scar, Daddy?

All I'm saying is there are consequences.

STDs, HIV, and everything that ends with the E sound you can get.

If you come up in here with a baby, I guarantee you will D -I -E.

You don't have to worry, Daddy.

I'm not getting any.

Yeah, that's right. Not until you marry when you're 70 and saggy.

There we were, me and Chase.

As we lay in the sand dunes, the ocean roared, echoing our passion.

Wait, wait a minute.

I've heard this before.

Oh, I'm sorry, girl. Did I already tell you this story?

No, no, I read it.

That's, um, Pacific Island Passion.

Wait, wait.

Spirit, you said your boyfriend's name was Dakota?

Yeah.

There was a Dakota in the other book. Left in the log cabin.

It's just a coincidence.

Spirit always dates boys that are named after states. Spirit, tell them about

your other man, Mississippi Johnson. Yeah. Yeah, well, uh, he lived on a

you Josh dumping you? Uh -uh, uh -uh. I dumped them.

You lied about your love life. You're probably lying about this.

The truth is, Arnaz dumped you because you were a virgin.

That's it.

I can't take this anymore. We have a whole year and a half left of high

and I'm not spending all that time as an outcast.

Me either, but they caught us in a lie. It's only a lie if you haven't done

something. Are you saying what I think you're saying?

Oh, yeah, I'm saying it.

It's time for us to grow up.

Well, my parents are going away this weekend.

Maybe I can grow up with Todd.

What about you?

Well, you know.

Hey, Rihanna.

What are you doing here?

I came by to have sex.

Say what?

Sex, Arnaz. I want to do it. With you. Move.

Okay.

Tonight, we send a message.

Let's show these thugs that we will not be intimidated.

To the streets!

Let's do this. I wish you would have given me a little more notice.

I would have done some push -ups or something.

I brought everything we need.

Candles for the atmosphere, condoms for safety, oh, and a camera for the before

and after picture.

Smile.

Ooh, and I've got the perfect music.

Arne!

Arne!

Arne! That's right, say my name, baby.

No, the music.

You're in the mood, isn't it?

Trying to lose my virginity, not my hearing.

Tom, Tom, don't go.

I can't do this, Spirit.

What? What's wrong? Is it me? No, no, no, you're fine.

You, you, you, you, you all right.

I've never done it.

And I can't really have my first time be with somebody that's never done it

either. Every player knows that.

I'm sorry, Miss Epstein, but I'm going to have to search your laundry.

All right. Here you go.

She's clean.

Though her whites could be whiter.

All right. All clear on five. All clear on five.

Let's go check another building. It feels good to have a handle on our

neighborhood. Nothing is going to get passed up.

Yeah, you might want to take off something. Oh, okay.

Yeah, that's much better Brianna

I've dreamed of this moment since the day we met

Let's

set it off

In the alley behind the building, all clear.

Roger that, Cheryl. Roger that.

Uh, sorry, I... Forget that. I'm just, uh, breaking... Breaking up.

Stupid neighborhood wash.

The problem's breaking into Cheryl's apartment.

Get...

Let me get the lights.

Um, Arnaz, I feel like people are watching me.

Brianna, I'm the only one watching you.

Oh, I can't believe this is finally happening.

Oh, it's happening, baby.

And everything was the way I thought it would be.

Who are you telling?

We're finally losing our virginity together.

Yes, you are.

No, we are.

I'm tired, and my feet hurt. I just want to go to bed.

Wait, this whole night was supposed to be about protecting each other, keeping

our neighborhood and children safe. Sure, Brianna's at the library now.

But what about the walk home?

Think of our kids.

You're right. We have to protect their innocence for as long as we can.

Let's go.

Brianna, I'm not a virgin.

What do you mean you're not a virgin?

Well, I have sex.

With who?

Look, it doesn't matter.

Wait a minute. You said that you and Ginger never... No, no, no, no. It

with Ginger.

Well, I can't believe this. I can't believe you. I thought we were friends.

come you didn't tell me?

Wait, wait, listen.

It wasn't what I thought it would be or how it should have been.

If I had known that you wanted to...

Look,

I could have just lied to you.

I care about you.

You still want to do it?

Not now.

Well, tomorrow?

Later, Arne.

That was the best neighborhood.

Did you leave your window open?

No.

Oh, no.

Maybe it's the prowler.

Is anything missing?

I don't think anything's gone.

Oh, man. He took my dad's hat.

Yeah, and he dropped this watch.

Wait a minute. Let me see that.

V -O -K?

The prowler's name is Vok?

Dwayne, I'm just guessing, but maybe those are initials.

A lot of good that does me.

There's a prowler with the initials V -O -K running around town wearing a hat

that belongs to Von Odell Knox.

Three, two, one. Wait a minute.

V -O -K.

Von Odell Knox.

This is my dad's watch.

But when was he here?

Two, one. Wait a minute!

My dad's a prowler.

Dwayne, why would your dad break into your apartment?

Huh.

Yeah, I don't get it.

I mean, first, I find out where my dad lives, and he promptly moves.

Then he breaks into my apartment and doesn't even say hi.

I guess I have to face the fact that he don't want to see me.

See what you got there?

Just looking at a picture of you and Mom.

Let me see that.

This was about a month before you were born.

It was rough.

Yeah, those jerry curls tell the story.

Do you realize that me and your mom were only a year older than you are now?

It was tough back then.

We couldn't go to house parties with our friends.

We were broke.

Your mother couldn't fit into her cheerleading uniform.

Well, she could, but then nobody would want to see her in it.

And that senior prom photo was a sonogram of our beautiful little baby

I guess you and Mom had to grow up pretty fast, huh?

Yeah, we did.

Well, I don't want to grow up that fast.

I don't want you to either.

That makes me very happy.

Regina, what's wrong?

Asante and Rodney were going out for two years. She finally sleeps with him, and

then he just dumps her.

Oh, well, you know what they say.

Sex is like picking at a scab.

It may seem like a good idea at the time, but then you're left with a scar.

You don't have to have sex to be popular.

I know. Thank God we're cheerleaders.

Yeah.

Love you too, Netta.
