All language subtitles for Moesha s05e05 Not My Pumpkin

I realized that to grow up, I'm going to
have to let go of a lot of baggage.

Stuff that's weighing me down, holding
me back.

Anything that keeps me from getting to
where I need to go.

Time I figured out who I am and what I
need.

And I've decided I don't need birth
control pills anymore.

From now on, I'm focused on my future.

You're gonna be down. Come on.

Yo, what's up, kid?

Dorian, you weren't supposed to go
anywhere until you helped me finish the

chores. For real?

I thought Aunt Dee was just playing.

Man, do I look like I was born
yesterday?

Do you really want me to answer that?

No, I just want you to help.

Okay, love.

I'm sorry, kid.

I hope you finish the chores, then we'll
shoot some hoops. Cool?

Cool. Cool.

Hey, Dorian, you still want to go to the
mall with Niecy and me? You got to

move. Oh, so Niecy knows I'm coming.
Yeah, but she's going anyway.

No, ma 'am. What am I shooting at?

Miles, are you done with your chores?

No, but he's... Sorry, but remember what
Auntie said?

Kids.

Miles?

But what do you think you're doing?

Crying out for help.

Boy, you better help yourself to a new
trash bag.

When ripped, it wasn't so cheap.

Excuse me. What did you say, son?

Uh, I was about to throw it in the trash
heap.

Oh, you know, tight as in tight or tight
as in tight?

Can you breathe?

No.

That tight. Okay.

Excuse me, little mama.

aftershave. Wait.

Yo, are you guys done shopping yet or
what?

Well, not while there's still cash in my
wallet.

Look, why don't you go on over there and
watch them make pretzels?

I've already done that.

They won't give me any more free
samples.

Do you have a favorite store?

Yeah, but Victoria's Secret has a
restraining order against me.

Which reminds me, where's Niecy?

In there trying to get out of that tight
dress.

She gonna be a while.

Well, maybe I can help.

Um, maybe we should go to the food
court.

For sure.

Niecy, meet us at the food court. Okay.

Hold it right there, y 'all. Hey, hold
on, homie. Watch the food booth. Yeah.

Put your hands off my cousin. Yeah,
well, your cousin here is a shoplifter.

step aside, miss. What?

He didn't take anything.

Ten people walked out of this store when
the alarm went off.

Yup. And two of them wearing ski masks.

Mm -hmm.

You know what? You take yourself pretty
seriously for somebody packing a walkie

-talkie and a cupcake.

I'm through speaking to you, okay?

Empty your pockets.

No, Doreen, you don't have to empty your
pockets. You have rights.

And who are you, his lawyer? I thought
you were through speaking to me.

Look, don't trip, Mo.

I'm used to this.

Besides, I don't have anything to hide.
Of course you don't.

You know what?

It's too bad.

that even as we stand on the threshold
of a new millennium, innocent young

men are still being convicted by the
color of their skin.

That's it.

Look, I'm just doing my job. Oh, yeah?

Well, you're not doing it too well.

Check this out.

Well, uh...

I guess your job is harassing innocent
people. Mm -hmm. Hey, well, look, why

don't y 'all just leave? Oh, we will.

As soon as you apologize to my client. I
mean, my cousin.

You can forget that.

Don't you think that this young man
deserves an apology?

Uh -huh. Yes. What a job.

Come on.

I said I'm sorry.

Indeed you are. I am too through. Shall
we?

Oh, Frank.

Dee? Oh, honey. Can you believe that
this is the fifth anniversary of our

date? Oh, I still remember how teary
-eyed you got after we first kissed.

That's because you were stepping on my
feet with your stilettos.

Everything okay, Frank?

Dee, I thought we were trying to have a
baby.

We are, Frank.

So why are you taking birth control
pills?

I'm not taking birth control.

Come on, Dee. I found these in the
trash.

They're not mine, Frank.

Oh, really?

Well, if they're not yours, Dee, then
whose are they?

They're not mine.

Moesha's? These are Moesha's? You knew
about this? Honey, I found them in her

purse about six months ago. Six months
ago? You didn't tell me? I have a right

to know, Dee. She's my daughter.

She's my daughter, too, Frank, and this
is exactly... why I didn't tell you. I

knew that you would overreact. No, no,
no, no. My reaction is just right.

My daughter's on birth control pills and
my wife lied to me. That is not fair,

Frank. Moesha made me promise not to
tell you. Oh, so Moesha runs this house

now. Frank, if I had broken that
promise, then she never would have

me again and neither one of us would
have known what's going on in her life.

so to keep your trust with Moesha, you
violate the trust with your husband.

Well, congratulations, Dee, your
stepmother of the year.

And you're at the...

Jerk of the century.

So we said goodbye to the cashier,
walked out with at least 100 other

minding our own business when the alarm
went off. Then the security guard just

waded through the crowd just to grab
poor Dorian.

Dorian, you didn't take anything, did
you? No.

That's the point, D.

This time he was completely innocent.

Man, you told me it was a high -speed
chase.

Good morning, Dad. Morning.

Daddy, I was just telling Dee how Dorian
was bum -rushed by mall security for

Shoplet. Where's the coffee?

Frank.

What?

Moe, she's trying to tell you something.

Oh, well, excuse me, Dee. I didn't hear
her.

Oh, but thanks for giving me the heads
up about what's happening in my own

house.

Look, Frank, if you... Hey!

Woo! Smells good up in here. Hey, it's
gonna be a good breakfast, a good church

service, and a good ball game this
afternoon.

Goodbye, Hakeem.

Good one, Mr. Mintz. Good one.

Hey, move. Should I go in and tell you
how he set that security guard straight

at the mall yesterday?

Oh, did he? Yeah, yeah. Tell her, D
-Money. I think D -Money needs to tell D

-Truth.

Yeah, well, he's not the only one.

Frank, you're impossible.

Yeah, well, at least I'm honest.

Need to get some fresh air.

Does this mean we can skip church?

Oh, come on, Mo.

I mean, we're going to church, not a
club.

The Lord doesn't want your phone number.

Yeah, come on, Mo.

I don't want to miss the collection
plate.

That's my snack money for the week.

my purse. I didn't buy these. They're in
your purse, and you didn't buy them?

My sister's a club dog.

I'm not.

Must have fallen into my purse at the
mall yesterday.

Oh, yeah?

You know, I have friends in Oakland that
I used to happen to all the time.

Once, a car fell right into my homeboy's
driveway.

I am not a thief.

Look, you don't have to lie to me, Mo.
You don't have to lie.

Dorian, I need to return these earrings.
I don't know, Mo.

A thief should never return to the scene
of a crime.

It was a simple mistake, you guys. In
fact, I'm going to apologize to that

when I return these, too. Or you can
just keep the earrings and trade them in

for cigarettes when they lock you up.

Guys, wait in the car. I'll be right
there.

Dee, I thought you and Daddy already
left.

Your father decided not to go.

Why? Because he'd rather sit on the
porch and pout.

Dean, I know it's none of my business,
but what's going on between you and my

dad?

I wasn't going to say anything, but you
might as well know.

Your father found your birth control
pills in the trash.

Am I going to die, Dean?

Of course not, sweetheart.

But he is pretty mad with the both of
us.

Dee, I'm sorry.

He really shouldn't blame you for
anything.

It's all right. We'll work it out.

Actually, Dee, we'll work it out.

I've got to go talk to him.

I'll see you in church.

Dee told me why you're fighting.

Can we talk?

You should have talked to me six months
ago, Mo.

Right now, I don't feel like talking.

Josie Geller.

and I can catch a ride to church with
you. Please, come right in.

Actually, everybody's already left, Ann
Dell. I decided to stay home.

Oh, I see.

It's more comfortable falling asleep on
this couch than those hard pews, huh?

Frank,

are you all right? Do you feel well? I
feel fine, Ann Dell. I just need a

time to myself.

Oh, I understand.

You want to talk about it.

All right.

You probably know all of this anyway.

I, uh, found out that Moesha's been
taking birth control pills.

What? Why?

Who's she sleeping with?

And Dale.

You're not helping.

I'm sorry. I'm back.

Have you tried to talk to Moesha about
it? Look, right now, I don't want to

a thing that girl has to say.

You sound just like my father.

Every time I tried to open up to him, he
either pushed me away or used what I

said against me. Well, Andell, I'm sure
your father was just trying to protect

you because he loved you so much.

That's what he said.

But I felt like he was trying to protect
himself, not me.

Frank, Moesha's an adult now. You don't
have to agree with all her choices.

Look, I know you're trying to help
Andell, but if you don't mind... Hey,

more. I have to get to church anyway.

Can I borrow your car?

I look so cute, I might catch more than
just the Holy Ghost.

Hey, yo, Dorian, show me the spot where
the police dogs rush you.

Let it go, man.

Thank God that security guard isn't
working today.

Let's find a manager. I need to get
home.

Oh,

no. Not you again.

What do you want, sister soldier?

fine with an appropriate clown.

Since I was wrong, I'm going to let that
go.

Well, again, what do you want?

Well, you're not going to believe this.

Actually, if you think about it, it's
pretty funny.

I'm here to return these earrings.

Just so happened that yesterday I
accidentally walked out with them.

So I was the one who set off the alarm.

My bad.

You know, I didn't hear you.

Oh. Sorry.

No, speak up. I can't hear you.

Hold on a minute, Mo. You don't have to
listen to this buster.

Look, I said I'm sorry.

No, no, I need you to be as loud as you
were yesterday. Remember that?

Look, man, just take the earring so we
can go. Dorian, I can handle this.

Now tell me, why are you sorry?

I'm sorry for disrespecting you. Oh.
And?

I'm sorry for embarrassing you.

And?

And I'm sorry for... And I'm sorry for
wasting my

time apologizing to you.

You know what I said yesterday was true.

The only reason you grabbed my cousin is
because he's a young black man. You

were wrong then, and you're wrong now.
So stop tripping.

All right?

Now, if you don't mind, I have somewhere
to be.

Well, just go then.

Dee, this is for you.

I'm sorry for what I said.

You know I didn't mean it.

Said some pretty hurtful things, Frank.

But I think it's deeper than that. Oh,
Dee, I'm not finished.

Words can't express how much I
appreciate everything you do.

That's sweet, Frank.

I'm not done.

Dee, baby, there really is no card that
says thank you for being the parent that

I wasn't ready to be.

I'm really glad that you were there for
Moesha.

Thanks, Frank.

I needed to hear that.

It's good to see that you two have made
up.

Which is what we should be doing.

Really? Yeah.

Well, I'm going to leave you two alone.

Moesha, it's really hard for parents to
accept that their children are growing

up.

I mean, it... It seems like it was just
the other day that I was telling you to

stop hitting miles over the head with
your spoon.

That was the other day.

You know, I was really hoping that you'd
wait until you got married, but I know

I'm too late.

But, Daddy... No, no, no, no, let me
finish, Mo.

Us communicating is difficult enough
without you trying to say something.

I guess the reason why I've been acting
this way, baby, is because I just didn't

want you to get hurt.

Now, I still don't agree with your
decision, and that's never going to

But neither is the fact that you're my
daughter, and I love you

Moesha, I want you to feel comfortable
enough to talk to me about anything.

Anything? Yeah.

Why?

It's just that I've decided not to take
birth control pills anymore.

Why?

I'm not having sex.

I've never had sex.

Well, if that's your decision, I'll have
to go long way.

Daddy, stop pouring me. Oh, thank God,
Mo.

Now,

I may not wait forever, but I know now
is not the right time for me.

Mo, thanks for being honest.

Thank you, Daddy.

That's my baby.

It's so good to know I can talk to you
about anything. Yeah.

Mo, what were you telling me this
morning about somebody shoplifting at

mall? I don't want to talk about that.

Come here.

Who would have thought I'd be calmly
talking to my dad about sex?

Not me.

I'm really proud of him.

He's grown so much.

Okay, I've grown a little too.

Now, if I weathered that storm...
There's nothing I can't handle without a

little help from the ones who love me.
