been waiting for. Yeah, we need a break, because I'm tired of being broke.

Yo, let's roll through after class and see what's cracking.

Hey, y 'all. Does anyone have a boom box?

Why? What's up? Well, I don't want to miss the phrase that pays.

2103 .4 is having a contract where you can win a plasma TV.

Ooh, plasma. That sounds nasty.

to audition.

Or, you know, you could just forget the audition and give us the contract and

the 50 grand now.

That's pretty funny, the first five or six hundred times I heard it.

Well, she's not with us.

Good. So we don't take groups on American Superstar? Oh, at least all the

Well, uh, we don't roll like that.

Pam, why don't you just go on and try out? You are the lead singer.

No, guys, we're a group. We've got to stick together.

And besides, I would never do this without you two.

Aw, group hug. Yeah.

Something shook this entire building.

All right, L .A., I want to hear you. Holler back. MC Necklace, shoot. I need

She went on 3 .4. You called her 15.

Oh, my God. I got two. Okay, here's the question.

What is MC Necklace?

Don't tell me.

It's, uh, it's, um... Bertram Aloysius Jefferson III.

That's it, that's it, that's it.

I watch BET.

It's, uh, Bertram Aloysius Jefferson III.

That's right. You just want to...

Maybe we can share it.

Look, how are we going to decide who gets the TV first?

I don't know.

You know, maybe a quick walk around the block will help

me come up with something.

station, the back is missing.

Guess what, Mama?

I'm auditioning for American Superstar.

Oh, congratulations, baby.

Freestyle Unity is about to blow up.

Yeah, Freestyle Unity.

Minus Stevie and T.

They don't take groups.

And Stevie and T are okay with that?

They would be if they knew.

You didn't even tell them? Now how could you do something like that?

the 50 G's with you. What would you want me to wear?

Girl, you right.

Watching Dizzle on this TV is the bomb.

Yeah.

He looks so real.

I can almost smell his breath.

Minty.

Use that special Zoom feature.

Your time is up.

Now, I don't want to miss the Anna Nicole Smith show.

Just watch it on your old TV.

That small thing? I can't look at that anymore.

Oh, hold up. Why don't you just leave the TV at the professor's? Absolutely.

I mean, that was brilliant.

It's a deal.

I even let you keep it here for another hour.

Thanks.

I know before I remove all your teeth. What was that about?

Think about it. When you want to see it, you can watch it at his place.

Oh, I get it.

And if I'm lucky, he'll put it in his bedroom.

And I'll really get lucky.

Mom,

I'm so nervous.

Uh -uh, don't be, baby. Now, what God didn't give you in height and brains, he

made up for it.

I have to go check on my baby. But I'm okay now, Mama.

I'll talk about my new plasma TV.

Hi. Hi. I'm here for my audition.

Name? Stevie Van Lowe.

Ah, right.

I'll call you after our break.

Stevie, what are you doing here?

Um, yeah, I got lost and I came in to ask for some directions.

What are you doing here?

Give me a minute. I was going to say the same thing you said.

I cannot believe it. You're here to audition.

You said I could. Well, I didn't mean it.

Hey, Stevie.

That is so sweet of you to come down here and support Kim after what she did.

Mama, don't let Stevie fool you. She came down here to stab me in my back.

The sneak is auditioning. Oh, well, if I'm a sneak, you're a snake.

Well, you're a sneaky snake.

You two should be ashamed of yourselves.

Going behind each other's back.

T is the only decent one in this group.

Yeah? Then what's he doing here?

T!

Hey!

Boy, what are you doing here?

Well, I had a feeling these two were up to something.

Now go home and I'll forget all about this.

Daddy, it's Radcliffe. Yeah. You? are performing after a diamond car.

I don't want any part of this.

I'm leaving. Kim, you can walk home. Walk it.

Sorry, everyone.

One of our judges was called away, so you'll have to come back tomorrow.

Y 'all need to stay home tomorrow and save yourself the embarrassment.

So you're the one who's going to be embarrassed when the judges boo you off

stage.

You two losers fight it out. Because you know I'm going to win.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a five -mile walk home.

Poor little T, I feel sorry for him.

I'll be saying the same thing about you in a little while.

Hello.

Is it me you're looking for? Yeah.

Hello.

Because I wonder where you are and what you do.

PPT.

What happened tonight, man?

You started off singing, then you just started rapping.

not Ja Rule.

Just be true to yourself.

I disagree, Randall. T, you were super.

I think you showed originality, heart, and a lot of funk.

And I think you're really cute.

And as for you, T, well, now I know what the T stands for.

Terrible. Get you, Seymour. I know I was good. Matter of fact, I was off the

chain.

Good. Now, could you get off the stage?

They really didn't like you.

Stevie, hello.

You're up.

Watch and learn. I'll show you how to impress the judges.

Oh, you're leaving?

Oh, I almost forgot the wine.

And I'm just going to run out and get us some.

I'll be back in one minute. And I'll be right here.

Yes.

Can I help you?

Stanley's date.

Who are you?

You ask too many damn questions.

Where's my boo?

Well, Stanley just went out to get some wine, but you... Look, hey, I don't want

to cause any trouble, so I'll leave.

Really? I don't have to beat you down?

Look, Stanley's a nice guy, but to tell you the truth, I'm really not feeling

him, so just tell him I said goodbye.

Uh, uh, hold up, Elena.

I'm sorry about that whole beat -down thing.

I'm Nikki.

It's all right, girl. I've had to threaten a few women myself.

Well, sometime you just got to go there. Hey.

Uh, Elena, you ever seen Two Can Play That Game?

I got it right here.

That is my favorite movie.

Okay, girl, come on, put it in.

You drink Alizé? I'm glad you got something, because he ain't have

You have something there. But I just don't know what it is.

And?

And... I'm done.

I disagree, Randall. I think she's super.

Stevie, you added a nice country style to the song, which was absolutely super.

Thank you.

Stevie Van Lowe.

Yeah. Your name should be Stevie Van Go, as in go away.

See, that's a sister who knows how to keep her man in check. And trust me, I

keep mine in line.

I know you do.

Girl, I am really glad I did not have to beat you down.

Me too.

Miss Parker, what

are you doing here?

It's my time to watch TV.

Elena, I can explain. Explain what?

Nikki and I are having a great time.

You are?

Yes, we are. You know, you and Elena would make a great couple if you weren't

already my man.

Elena, I can assure you we are not together in any way, shape, or form.

Yes, we are. We did the nasty.

Stanley, maybe I should leave. No, no, no, no, no.

Don't let her drive you away. Please, give me a minute. Look, um...

I'll call the police.

Actually, this has nothing to do with Nikki.

Say what?

Stanley, I don't think... She don't want to.

Elena?

She's right.

I'm sorry, Stanley. Goodbye.

Now, girl, you got my number, right? Uh -huh. Okay, honey, I'll call. Okay,

baby. Have a good one.

angel. And the outfit of a drag queen.

It's so loud, I couldn't even hear your voice.

What do you know about fashion, you crusty English muffin?

This is a Kimberley original?

Listen, to be an American superstar, you have to have the whole package, and you

just don't have it.

Package? Wait a minute, you don't know nothing about me or my package.

For your information, I have performed in front of dozens of people.

How are you going to pick an American superstar?

You're not even from America.

I wonder what's taking them so long.

Probably wondering how the heck you two got into this competition.

They're about to announce the winner, which will be me.

I just want to say, you all, did an unbelievably super

job for me.

But unfortunately, only one person can represent the L .A. area. And

unfortunately, that's not so super.

And the winner is... Diamond Car.

Like a real loser.

Yeah, me too. You are losers. I mean, we all are losers.

For what it's worth, Kim, I thought you should have won.

Me too.

Yeah, well, I guess we had to learn the hard way.

Good as a group, huh?

I'm sorry I kicked you guys to the curb.

I guess I was being selfish.

We were all being selfish.

Hey, freestyle uni is back, huh?

Kim, where are you going?

To see if Diamond Carr needs a backup singer. What?

Just kidding.

Hey,

boo.

Miss Parker, what the hell are you doing here?

I'm watching Dr.

Phil. He's giving us tips on how we can save our relationship.

Get out.

But he's getting to the part where we have to confront each other without

Well, if you don't leave now, I fear I'm going to kill you.

See, that's good.

That's good. That's what he means.

Now's my time.

Here,

take it to your apartment.

No. No. Then I'll never have quality time with you.

Oh, I'll get over it. Now take it. No.

Now what do you have to say?

You owe me $8 ,000.
