All language subtitles for Moesha s03e14 He Aint Heavy, Hes Dees Brother

When you think about it, life is truly
an amazing but confusing thing.

There's no explaining how the same
parents can give birth to a beautiful,

gifted, and talented child and then turn
around and have months.

It's not fair.

I mean, Janet's got Michael.

Caroline's got John John.

Even Brandy has Ray J.

But who knows?

Maybe with a little coaching from his
big sis, Miles could be the next Kobe

Bryant.

Thank you.

Daddy's little girl.

Now, could you be any more obvious?

Speaking of obvious, I love Saturn.

You know, Mom, I was here first. I'm
hitting Daddy up for a new catcher's

minute. Why?

You can't even catch a cold.

Take note, rookie. I'm setting Daddy up
for something really big, and by the

time he sees my T -shirt... Daddy!

No.

But I haven't even asked you for a city
player yet.

Uh, he said no.

Oh.

Oh, so, Dad, can I... No.

But you didn't even... He said no.

The CD player is only $200, and it's not
for me. It's for my car.

Uh, Mo, your car is only worth $100.

But, Daddy, it would be worth more if it
had some sounds in it.

I've been in your car. It makes enough
sounds.

for you to come give your brother a hug,
girl.

Oh, Shelby.

Hey.

Hey.

Shelby. Hey.

Man, it's good to see you.

And who is this beautiful young lady? I
don't believe we have met.

Shelby, it's me, Moesha.

No.

said you were in bahia oh well that was
three continents ago after i left brazil

i went over to turkey and then i shot
over to tibet man you're like indiana

jones no more like alabama jackson good
one frank

don't encourage him

So, Shelby, I hope you stay longer than
you did the last time. Well, to be

perfectly honest with you, I haven't put
as much thought into that as I have a

hot bubble bath.

I gotta wash the dirt of seven
continents off of me.

Well, dang.

Maybe you need to be hosed down outside.

Come on, I'll get you settled upstairs.

Yeah, I'll go get you some towels.

That was the bomb.

So what?

Joby, this is some of the best Chinese
food I have ever had. Yeah, man, where

did you ever learn how to cook like
that?

Duh. He lived in Hawaii.

Actually, Hakeem, this dish is a
specialty of a little village about 50

north of Qingdao.

Hmm, but wasn't it kind of weird being
in China with all the political

repression? I see. You've been keeping
up on world affairs, huh? Oh, man,

please. She don't even know what country
China's in.

Well, I hope that one day you all get to
see China the way I did. I mean, I rode

a moped from Shanghai to Beijing.

And then I backpacked along the Great
Wall.

Oh, that is so romantic. I mean, it was
just you, the stars, the wall.

Did you have McDonald's out there?

Yeah.

Oh, you should have seen all the
bicycles lined up at the drive -thru

Well, as exciting as China was, I bet it
feels good to be back home.

Yes, it does.

So, Shelby, what are your plans?

Well, um... Oh, Frank, honey, let him
get settled first. IBM can wait until

tomorrow. I'll put in my five years at
IBM, Dee Dee. I am not going back.

You're right.

Microsoft is the hot place to be. No,
I'm not going to work for Bill Gates. I

going to be the next Bill Gates.

Well, when that happens, make sure you
contribute to the Moesha Foundation.

What exactly are you saying, Shelby?

Well, I'm saying that I am finally going
to make my mark as an entrepreneur.

Hear, hear. A man after my own heart.
I'm telling you, Dee Dee, what I have

revolutionize life as we know it.

Check this out.

Come on, Shelby. The suspense is killing
us.

Behold the future.

The future's a stick?

Oh, boy, the future's a... Dang.

It is a stick.

Just let him finish Malcolm and Eddie.

What is this, Shelby?

Dee? This is what I have been searching
for.

Now, to the untrained eye, this might
look like a stick.

But to the monks in Tibet, this root is
a tremendous memory enhancer.

I mean, how else can you explain their
uncanny ability to memorize volumes and

volumes of ancient scripture?

Flashcards?

Close, close. But actually, they eat
this.

I'm sure that this is very tasty with a
little salt and pepper.

But how else... It's not going to make
you the next Bill Gates.

By giving the people a product they want
and need. I mean, we all suffer from

information overload, right? We got
social security numbers. We got computer

passwords. ATM PIN numbers. Oh, quick,
Daddy, what's your PIN number?

Nice try, Mo.

I know it sounds crazy, Dee Dee, but
that's why it's perfect for L .A.

I'm working with a lab man that is
taking the key nutrients from this root

processing them into tasty little
chewable vitamins.

I got a shipment that'll be here any
day.

All right, so what's your marketing
strategy?

I'm gonna sell it.

Look, I know what you're thinking, but
this stuff is good.

I mean, it's gonna practically sell
itself.

Shelby, nothing sells itself.

But what if you get very enthusiastic,
highly motivated young people to sell

your vitamins?

Yeah, I hear you.

Hey, it works for the Girl Scouts.

True, but Girl Scouts are cute.

What's your angle, Ugmo?

Let me take a moment to talk about pre
-sales. This is your road to fast cash.

Now, you won't have to wait until Friday
to get your money. With Unforgettables,

every day is payday.

I don't know, man. I mean, selling
something you don't have seemed kind of

to me.

Well, it's no more bogus than you
ordering something with money you don't

Right, Andell? You can speak, child.

You might as well sign your first two
paychecks over to me.

I paid you off last week.

That was just an interest. You haven't
even touched the principal.

Oh, businesswoman.

Smart and beautiful.

Ooh, Shelby, you so observant.

So, Andell, what are the chances of us
joining forces?

Well, I'm kind of seeing somebody right
now.

But I don't see him right now.

Well, if it was me, I wouldn't let you
out of my sight.

Oh, Shelby.

What do you think about displaying your
vitamins right here on the counter?

Works for me.

So, who else wants to make some money?
The line four is behind me.

Good work, Moesha.

And here at Unforgettable's, good work
does not go unrewarded.

Ooh, what's this for?

For an excellent presentation and for
recruiting our sales force.

Well, um, um, Kim wrote with me. Don't I
get something?

Hey, Mr. Mitch. What time's dinner?

I don't know. What did your mother say?

She said bring her back a plate.

You lose something, Mr. Mitch? Yeah, I
can't remember where I left my car keys.

Don't you just hate that?

I mean, here you are, a man on the go,
and you slow down because you can't

remember where you left your car keys.

Or your car!

Remember last week?

My car was towed, Hakeem.

And why? Because you forgot to read the
tow -away sign, Mr. Mitchell.

Now, with Unforgettables, an all
-natural, fat -free, chewable memory

this problem would never happen again.

Is that the stuff Shelby's talking
about?

Yeah, but don't buy from him. I'll give
you a senior's discount.

Hey, man. Hey, Shelby. Hey, Frank, you
should have seen your daughter

negotiating at the printer. She got him
to knock off 20%.

Yeah, the apple doesn't fall far from
the tree. Like father, like daughter.

No, more like father, like neighbor,
okay?

You can stop buttering him up. I've
already made this sale.

But how can't he's my daddy?

And with unforgettables, he'll always
remember that.

So, Mr. Mitch, can I put you down for
two bottles? Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Just help me find my car, please.

Oh, here they go.

Yeah, you left them in the door.

Oh, wait, Mr. Mitch, I forgot to get
your name and your address.

Well, if nothing else, you gotta love
the kids' enthusiasm.

Well, you're a great motivator. So are
you.

We make a great team.

Yay, team!

Hey, everybody.

Hey, Dee.

Shelby, Shelby.

You will never guess who I talked to
today.

Well, I hope it was my distributor. I've
been trying to reach him all day.

No, Rick Elliott, your old boss at IBM.

Oh, so you were in Chicago today.

No.

I just thought that Rick might like to
know that you're back in the country.

Oh, Dee, check out these incredible
brochures Shelby designed for

Oh, that's cute, Moesha.

Shelby, Rick said that he would really
like for you to give him a call. I think

he might want to give you your old job
back.

So... Here's his number. Why don't you
give him a call?

All right, sure.

I will call him. Good.

Maybe I can sell him some
Unforgettables.

Believe him. I mean, here he is throwing
away a great opportunity for a handful

of magic beans.

Dee, why are you so against this?

Unforgettable is a great idea.

Moesha, I love my brother dearly. But if
I were you, I wouldn't get too involved

in this current project of his.

So you're saying that I shouldn't help
him?

No, I'm saying that Shelby talks a great
game, but he rarely follows through.

I just don't want to see you waste your
time.

You know what, Dee?

Just because things didn't go well for
him in the past does not make him a

failure.

Moesha, honey, that's not what I'm
saying. Dee, I believe in Shelby.

You know, I think he'd go a lot further
if you did, too.

Uh, baby, is there anything you want to
talk about?

No, not really. I'm okay.

Well, if you're going to keep pacing,
you might as well turn on the vacuum

cleaner.

Just trying to get the rug clean.

Honey, do you think that I'm being too
hard on Shelby? Because if I am, it is

only because I care about him. Honey, he
has been finding himself for the past

three years. I just don't want to see
him wasting his life away. And he's

talented, Frank. You know, out of all of
my siblings, he is truly the one most

talented. Dee, Dee, Dee, baby, slow
down.

I think I liked her better when you were
pacing.

Frank, I don't know.

Maybe I'm all wrong about Shelby this
time. Do you know that he paid Moesha

and she's only been working for him a
couple of days?

Hey, you think he'd hire Bernie?

Frank, will you be serious for just a
moment, please?

Sure.

Only you may not want to hear what I
have to say, baby.

I'll take my chances.

Okay.

Baby, I think that you're upset because
Shelby is no longer living up to your

expectations.

Now, look, Dee.

Your brother is his own person with his
own ideas about how to live his life.

Now, I know it's hard to let go, but you
have to.

Hell, I still struggle with the choices
that my brother makes, but they're his

choices. They're not mine.

But, Frank, is it wrong for me to want
the best for my brother? I love him.

Then love him for who he is and not for
who you want him to be.

I hate it when you're right.

Lucky for me, it doesn't happen that
often.

Guys, guys, your pre -sales are looking
great.

Shelby and I are really proud of you.
You're exceeding all of our

Shut up!

Talk is as empty as this display case.

We need product.

You need to be a little more patient.
The product is coming. So is El Nino.

Yeah, Mo, I mean, it's easy for you to
talk patience. You've already been paid.

That's right, Miss New CD Player. Hey, I
bought that for y 'all. So you would

have something to listen to when I show
for you around town. It's for your

benefit.

Speaking of benefits.

It must be nice being a salaried
employee.

Oh, do you have a dental plan?

Come on, you guys. Shelby's going to
come through.

Oh, come on, Momay. You've been saying
that for a week now.

Well, maybe you need to have a little
faith like I do.

Well, it's easy to have faith when
you're all sprung and whatnot.

Geez, girl, he's my uncle.

He ain't your uncle because D ain't your
mama.

Well,

my question is, Why are we talking to
the middle man when we need to be

to the man, right?

Look,

Shelby's been on the phone with the
distributor all day.

And the bottom line is you've already
done the work. Hakeem, you've sold 50

units. Kim, you've sold 35.

And Niecy, I don't know why you're
complaining because you haven't sold

Well, that's because I'm nurturing my
clients.

Okay. Well, if you want to be quitters,
you can give me all your orders and I'll

have a new car to go along with my new
CD player.

You know, nobody said nothing about
quitting. Yeah, why are you trying to

our client?

Come on, we're still with you. They just
had a few concerns.

And on that Shelby situation, I ain't
mad at you.

Oh, y 'all still on board?

I know I am. Sure.

All right, and there's smoothies all
around.

You know, I'm so sick of smoothies. My
treat.

Oh, make mine a banana berry booze.

Hey, Diddy.

Hey, where are you going?

To Canada.

Are you off to join the Mounties?

You know, Dee, if the principal gig
falls flat, you might want to try stand

Touché.

So why are you leaving, Shelby?

Well, we get a few kinks to work out.
One of the lab rats died.

What? I'm just kidding.

There's a hold -up in the processing
plant. I'm just going to fly up and see

I can help move things along.

Well, good luck.

Don't starve, D.

Okay, I can't go back to that gray suit
-wearing lifestyle.

Oh, Shelby, I see you're out of here,
huh? Yeah, I gotta go take care of some

business. Yeah, well, it's always good
to see you, man.

Don't be a stranger. Okay, Frank. Nice
suit, man. Oh, thanks.

I'll see you later, man.

All right, Dee, come on. Bring on the
lecture, but make it the condensed

because my ride's going to be here any
minute.

Good luck, Shelby.

That's it?

That's it.

What happened to the part where you tell
me how to live my life?

There isn't one.

Look, Shelby, I have finally accepted
the fact that...

My baby brother is a grown man.

And you've got to live your life the way
you see fit.

Thanks, Dee.

Oh, I love you, Shelby.

I love you.

And don't worry about me. I'm like a
cat. I always land on my feet.

I'm going to fly up to personally check
on our shipment.

And you were going to leave without
telling me?

Well, we just can't have our sales staff
sitting around with no product now, can

we? You're coming right back, right?

Sure, sure. A week, ten days, three
years tops.

No.

I'll be back soon.

That's my ride.

I'll be right there, Andale.

Bye, Shelby.

It's not goodbye, okay?

I'll see you later.

Okay, later.

Have a safe trip.

He's not coming back, is he?

With Shelby, you never know.

Now back to you.

After a month, I finally got a letter
from Shelby.

It seems that things in Canada didn't go
well enough fast enough.

Now he's in Jamaica managing a reggae
band.

As for my CD player, I'm just glad I
kept the receipt and original pack.

In the words of Shelby, you've got to
keep your employees happy.

And that's even more important when
they're also your best friend.
