Do you guys want to go see Samuel Jackson's new movie? Yeah, you should

Tiffany and I love D 'Angelo. So, Hakeem, what's up with you and Tiffany?

Oh, well, you know, she's new in town, so I figured I'd take her out and show

her around. Oh, that's nice of you, Hakeem. Oh, look, you guys, D 'Angelo

going to be at the House of Blues. Let's go.

Yeah, yeah, I'm with it. Tiffany loves D 'Angelo.

Yeah, loves him.

Hey.

Hey, baby.

Sorry I'm late, but I stopped by the dry cleaners to pick up some things. Oh,

thank you. Wait, wait, wait. Dry cleaning?

Now, see, Hakeem is mostly washing where?

And where.

And where.

Oh, you must be Niecy.

What should I make you, Moesha?

Hello.

I've heard a lot about you two.

Really? We haven't heard much about you.

Oh, well, uh, Mo, Niecy, this is Tip. See y 'all. Wait, wait, wait.

It's the rush. We just met your new friend.

Well, actually, we're more than friends.

Really? How long have you known each other?

Oh, about a week.

No, Hakeem, seven of the most beautiful days of my life.

Aww.

Well, it's about time you got a girlfriend, Hakeem.

Isn't it great, Mom?

Yeah, it's great.

You're gonna be down. Come on.

Plucky's chicken fingers will be right up, sir. Have a seat. I'll have someone

bring them over to you.

Oh, yeah?

Throw me that extra Captain Plucky curly fries now for me waiting there,

partner.

Dorian, front and center.

Yeah, what's up, boss?

How many times do I have to tell you?

Captain Clucky's special sauce goes in the dispenser on the left. Captain

Clucky's ketchup goes in the dispenser on the right.

All right, all right.

Bang. No, no, no, no.

That wouldn't match Ty Graham May and Captain Clucky's franchise manual.

Aren't you taking this job a little too seriously?

Look here, son.

If you want to make it in this world, you better learn to take your job

seriously.

Now empty these trash cans, wipe off these tables, and sweep this floor.

And while I'm at it, why don't I just scrub the toilets, too? Yeah, do that,

too.

First, take this order to this gentleman seated right here.

And remember, I'm watching you.

Everybody needs to roll model.

Yo, here's your Captain Clucky chicken finger and your Captain Clucky curly

fries. Have a cluckerific day.

What's up, Lordy?

You ain't the deep money I heard so much about, huh?

You know me?

Nah, I thought I knew you, but the deep money I knew wouldn't be dressed like a

chicken.

What is it to you?

It just kind of hurt me to see a young player like yourself with so much

potential play herself like a fool, you heard me?

Nah, nah, playing myself would be going to ask my dad for money.

I'm just trying to get my own, you understand?

I understand what you're saying, little one, but, uh, working in here?

Hey, this wasn't the first job I applied for.

No, plus I always wanted to work with animals.

You're funny. You should have been a clown.

I like that, though, but check this out, Claire.

Whenever you want to make some real money, holler at me, you hear me?

Hey, this is $100, man.

I know what it is.

Your name is Patience?

Why do they call you that?

That's what I tell them.

Oh, you the police?

Later, partner.

Those toilets aren't going to clean themselves, Dorian.

There he is.

Hey, Dorian.

Oh, can this day get any worse?

Say cheese.

Oh,

I sure am proud of you.

I was, too, until I saw that chicken on his head.

Dorian, when you get paid, I'll take you down to the bank and help you open up a

savings account.

Hey, come on, y 'all. Can't y 'all see I'm trying to work?

Right. You stay focused.

We'll just get our food and move over to the table. Kind of out of the way.

Can't y 'all eat at home?

Not if I want my $2 discount.

See, the coupon's only good if we eat here.

Look here, I can't wait on y 'all because I got a whole lot of important

paperwork I got to do. In for the trash now, Dorian.

See?

And if we can take this... Look at them over there all hugged up.

You know, there's something really weird about them.

You know what? I didn't want to be the one to say it, but it did happen kind of

suddenly. Oh, no, Mom. I'm cool with the sudden part. It's the Hakeem part that

disturbs me.

I mean, why would she pick him?

Guys, Nancy Hakeem is a nice guy. He's a great catch.

Well, I still don't trust her.

Mom, where's her, Nancy?

Hey, Monice, guess what we got?

Tickets for the D 'Angelo concert?

What?

Me and Hakeem, you and Gabe, and Moesha.

Thank you. You shouldn't have.

For what? Nut.

Tiffany, these are free, right? Yes. I've got a connection. Yeah, that's my

girl. Girl, I knew I liked you.

So, Tiffany, I'm going to go check on our orders. You want some dessert?

Uh, no thanks.

I'm watching my figure.

Why don't you let me do that, huh?

Well, isn't Hakeem adorable?

Girl, you think he's adorable now? Wait until you've known him for two weeks.

It sounds like you don't believe in love at first sight.

I guess I believe you have to know somebody before you can say you truly

him. Hey, y 'all, look, check this out.

The Pendulum is having a karaoke contest Friday night.

Ooh, dang, y 'all, first prize is $200. You know I'm down.

Wow. You do that?

I mean, sing in public?

Mm -hmm.

Yeah. Come on, Tiffany. It'll be a lot of fun.

I don't know. I mean, I couldn't imagine getting up in front of strangers.

Girl, we're friends now.

You know what, Tiffany? You should have come, man. It'd be a blast.

Mm -hmm. I know, but I... Then what's the big deal?

Well, nothing, but I just... Don't you want her to come, Hakeem? Of course I

Then it's that. I can't wait.

Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

I got you to hold my hand. I got you to understand.

I got you to walk with me.

I got you to talk with me.

I got you to kiss goodnight. I got you to hold me tight.

I got you and I won't let go.

Who makes those words sound so real and so deep?

She's so passionate.

Well, Lisa sure looks good in that miniskirt.

Who's going to be next to take a shot at winning $200?

Over here!

Come on, give it up for Tiffany!

You can do anything you want your mind to.

Get up there and show them your stuff.

Okay. Are you sure? Yes.

Go on, go on.

Mom, I really hope she can't sing because I need that money.

Lisa, we want Tiffany to have a good time. Don't you be for me.

Me? You're the one forcing her to go up there.

You don't like her, do you?

Like her? Lisa, it's not even about that. I just don't want Hakeem to get

Yeah, he looks like he's in a whole lot of pain.

Okay, everybody, let's give it up for Tiffany Jessup singing Whitney Houston's

All the Man I Need.

Hi.

Baby, hi.

I've had to tell you to stop flirting with the customers.

I'm not going to flirt with you.

Okay, Mr.

Comedian. It's time to close and this place looks like a pigsty.

I know.

The morning crew has a whole lot of work to do.

You think you're funny?

Yeah, you would too if you lighten up a little bit.

Wait, what are you doing? What I should have done a week ago. You're fired.

Now, see, that's funny.

Fine.

I'm not trying to go out like that anyway.

D -Money has too much potential to be stuck in some dead -end job like this.

Say it.

Hey, y 'all, guess what, guess what?

I'm moving out of my house.

So, anyway, guess what game is we're doing? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

wait. Did you guys just hear what I said?

I said I'm moving out. I'm getting my own place. Are you serious?

Yes. Oh, how can that? It's so great. It means we can take a base to your house.

So baby boy is finally cutting his mom's apron strings, huh?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what? I cannot wait to get into my own spot.

Me either, man. We can order pizza, have parties, remove... This is so exciting,

man. You know what? I'm going to have to get you a plan or something.

No, Mo. Oh, no,

girl. I got it. Tows. Because you know a man don't respect a big towel.

See, Mo. See, Tiffany's taking care of all that.

Yeah, yeah. See, see. We're moving in together.

See, see. It doesn't make sense. Hakeem hardly even knows the girl.

Mo, Tiffany watches his clothes, cooks his meals.

She even gives him pedicures.

I wish I could move in with her, too.

Well, I think it's too soon. You know what? I knew she was up to something.

Next thing you know, she'll be dragging him down now.

You know, Mo, you sound kind of jealous.

What? You heard me.

I am not jealous of Tiffany.

Mo, it's me, Niecy.

Maybe I like him a little bit more than I admit.

Okay, man, good first step. You admit it to me.

Now all you have to do is take the second step and tell Hakeem how you

He's moving in with his girlfriend. What's the point?

I don't know.

Closure.

Man.

Hey, Hakeem. Hey, Mo.

Girl, what you doing here?

Came over to see if you needed a ride to your new place.

Oh, no, no, no. I'm straight. Tiffany's going to pick me up later.

Oh. Yeah.

So you're really moving out, huh?

Yep.

Hey, remember that time we got kicked out of SeaWorld?

That we drove to Tijuana?

You gave your car keys to a complete stranger?

He wasn't a stranger. I talked to him for at least five minutes.

Yeah, right.

Lucky I was there.

I was lucky.

You know, you've always been there for me.

Hakeem, you know moving out is the big step. I mean, have you thought about

rent, utilities, groceries?

Oh, no. Look, that's the good part about it.

Yeah, see, Tiffany's uncle owns the building.

So the rent's gonna be real, real cheap. So I have money for all that stuff.

Yeah. So you thought about everything?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think so.

I mean, um, not unless I'm missing something.

I didn't come over to see if you needed a ride. I came over to tell you... Whoa.

Very bad thought.

Hello? Hey, Tiffany.

Yeah, yeah, I'm all packed up.

Oh, yeah, that's cool.

Oh, yeah, I can't wait to move in with you either.

Okay.

All right, bubba.

So, uh, what was that you was trying to tell me, Mo?

Um, I just wanted to tell you that if you need anything, you can call me, and

I'll be there for you, too.

Yeah. Bye.

Frank, Moesha's living on campus.

Miles is at soccer practice.

Dorian is at work.

It's just you and me.

I like that, Dee.

Baby, have you seen the remote?

Hello.

No, Dorian's not in right now, but he should be home any minute from work.

What?

No, I didn't know.

Okay, well, thanks for calling.

What is it, Frank?

That was Mr. Harvey.

He wants Dorian to bring the uniform back.

Why?

Because he fired him three days ago.

What?

Dorian got fired?

It was probably for selling leftover food to homeless people.

Hey, everybody.

I am whipped.

My boss worked me like a dog today.

But you know what they say. The harder to work, the better D -money.

Well, never mind what they say.

Where have you been, Dorian?

At work.

Really? Mr. Harvey just called Frank and told him that he fired you three days

ago. Uh... You did?

Mm -hmm.

Look, I can explain.

Oh, right now?

Yes, right now. The truth is, you guys were going on and on about how good I

looked in my new uniform and...

How you were proud of me.

I don't want to break your hearts.

You're breaking my heart.

Dorian, if you haven't been going to work all these evenings, where have you

been? Just hanging out at nice and working on some tracks.

I thought if I got a fat record deal, y 'all wouldn't think of me as such a

loser. Y 'all would still be proud of me.

Dorian, we are proud of you, son, but you've got to stop lying to us.

I can't do anything right.

I'm always disappointing you guys.

Miles, why don't you, um, help me prepare dinner?

He's not gonna cry, is he?

Dorian.

You're my son, and I'm going to always be proud of you.

You mean that? Of course I do.

And if it'll help, I can always find something for you to do down at the

dealership.

If you don't mind, I'd rather find my own job.

All right, all right. But just remember something.

You can always come to me for help.

Thanks.

Hey, how about some dinner?

Just as long as it's not chicken.

I'll get a few minutes to pull myself together.

Yeah, yeah, sure, sure. I understand.

Yeah, yeah,

I took care of that.

Same time tomorrow?

For that kind of money? And I'm with it.

I can handle it.

No problem.

All right.

Hey.

Hey. Mind if I come in?

Sure. Yeah.

Thought you'd still be getting settled into your new place.

Oh, yeah, well, actually, I changed my mind about moving.

Really? Yeah. I mean, did something happen with you and Tiffany?

Oh, no, no, no, no. Tiffany's perfect.

I mean, she's everything a guy could want.

I mean, she's smart, cute, funny, and my toes have never looked better.

Matter of fact, she's beyond perfect.

All right, I get your point. The girl is perfect.

It's perfect as she is, Mo.

She's just not you.

What are you saying?

Well... What I'm saying is, Mo, is that I'd rather be with you.

I'd rather be with me, too.

And you want Hakeem. So stop tripping and get together.

Got it.
