Yeah.

Find any cavities on the floor?

Oh, you're back. Yeah, I came home a few days early, but what's up with the

toothbrush? Oh, Uncle Frank wanted the floor clean.

And you doing it?

Yeah, I'm trying to live drama -free for the next 268 days. Then I graduate.

Then I'm up out of here. I got you. So it looks like you picked up some

techniques during boot camp, huh? Yeah, it looks like you picked up something,

too. What?

What? I see all that bling -bling dripping from your finger.

Have you got something to tell me?

Mm -hmm. What?

Q and I are engaged.

Q?

The cue? The one I heard all them stories about?

Mm -hmm. The cue Uncle Frank caught up in your room?

Yeah. The same cue you bailed out of jail with your dad's credit card?

Yeah. The same cue? Yeah, the same cue, boy.

There's only one cue.

Yeah, well, the rest of the alphabet gonna miss him once Uncle Frank finds

me is gonna

be down come on

Yeah, she got a whole lot of surprises.

Yes, I do, Daddy. In fact, I wanted to tell you that.

Melissa!

Hello, honey.

Oh, look at you.

Oh, you know, I was afraid I wasn't going to see you before I went back to

Jamaica. Oh, you're still consulting on the education project?

Yes, I am. You know, girl, they have had me going back and forth to that island

all summer long. Hey.

Oh.

Yeah, but she still won't let me grow dressed.

Yeah, I'm killing him.

You know, Ma, I'm really glad you came back early, baby. I was worried about

you. Thought I was going to have to come across the country and take care of

that Q.

What's wrong with Q?

Seems like a cool brother to me.

Almost like one of the family.

I know, Daddy. Don't you think so? Not this family. If I never see that boy

again, it'll be too soon.

Frank, honey, come on.

It's not like she ran off and eloped with Q.

She just took a job working with him. Honey, how was the tour? Did anything

exciting happen?

Yeah, yeah, Mo. Any, uh, special engagements?

Hey,

Cleo, what are you doing here?

Hi, Mr. Mitchell. You forgot to sign these contracts, and they need to go to

lawyer first thing tomorrow morning. Oh.

Now, wait a minute.

You caught two buses all the way over here just to bring me these.

Like you always say, initiative equals excellence.

Yeah, I do say that, don't I?

Well, come on.

You know, Cleo, it's young people like you that make me proud that I'm

participating in the mentorship program.

All right, that ought to do it.

Now, you keep up the good work.

Cleo, where am I mannered?

This is Dorian, my son. Dorian, this is Cleo Griffin.

Pleased to meet you, Dorian.

What's up, girl?

Call me D -Money.

D -Money?

What does the D stand for?

Don't have none.

Oh, wait a minute. Where's the time going? I've got to go pick up Miles from

batting cage. If you'll let me get my keys, I'll take you home.

Thanks, Mr. Mitchell. Oh, don't mention it.

D -Money.

Oh, you're the bad boy everybody's been talking about at work.

Where you been hiding?

Oh, me? I've been up in boot camp.

Yeah. And since we asking all these questions, what's up with you and this

little innocent act you putting on for my dad?

Oh, that?

Yeah. That's just my workplace demeanor. Oh, well, what's up with your after

-work demeanor?

Check me after work to find that out.

Look, check it out. My friend is having a party Saturday night. Why don't you

roll through?

Saturday night?

Oh, sure.

Uh, I'm afraid you can't do that. We're doing inventory Saturday. Remember,

Cleo? Oh, I forgot. I guess I can't make it.

Well,

that's cool. Well, how about Friday? Oh, Friday night sell -a -thon.

Sell -a -thon? Well, look, how about Sunday?

Maybe we can go to the movies or something.

I'd love to.

It's okay with you, right, Mr. Mitchell?

Yeah, yeah, it's fine.

All right, now.

Y 'all buckle up.

Oh, sookie, sookie now.

Moe, you're back.

How was your trip?

Oh, wait. Don't move. Stay right there.

You like it?

Oh.

Niecy, what are you doing in my room?

Well, um, don't you remember, Mo, we signed up to be roommates together last

year? Yeah, that was before I caught you all up on my boyfriend.

I wasn't all up on him. I just kissed him.

Oh, my bad. Sorry for tripping. I forgot we get down like that.

Look, Mo, that didn't come out right.

Okay, if you read any of the letters I sent you, you would know how truly sorry

I am.

Sorry enough to do the decent thing and give up the room?

Give all this up?

Girl, I said sorry, not crazy.

Look, Mo, why can't we just go back to the way things were before?

Because before, I trusted you, Meecy. That's why.

Oh.

This thing's just going to have to get ugly up in here.

It was ugly before I walked in here. Hey, hey, hey, Gina, it's Sinead.

Can we keep it down out here?

Did she just call me Sinead?

Hey, Frank.

How you doing?

Well, actually, not too good. That's great.

Can I please borrow the car to take Cleo to the movies?

No. Boy, the last time you took a car, it ended up like an episode of Cops.

You still on that?

Is my car still impounded?

Look, I paid my debt to society.

I'm not worried about society, Dorian. I'm worried about the money you still

me. Besides, well, you know, it's probably best if you and Cleo just

take it slow.

I know I got skills and all, but I don't think one day this is going to change

your life.

All right, Dorian.

I tell you what.

You can take her out.

I'll even spring for the movie and the dinner.

But I'm not giving you my car.

$25? Yeah, hook it up.

Hello, Doran.

Hey.

Small round?

That depends.

Does your mom still have those free passes to the Magic Johnson Theater?

Okay. All right.

Here you go.

Thanks, man. All right.

Oh,

boy. I don't want to see this.

Be strong.

Hakeem, haven't you gotten the message? I don't want to talk to you.

Look, Amal, I just thought if you can give us the chance to work things out,

can... Hakeem, there is nothing for us to work out.

I wish I thought we had something between us. We did.

But Q and I are back together now.

What? You and Q?

Moesha, how could you jump into something else before you gave us a

talk about us? Oh, you were not thinking about us when I caught your lips all

over my used -to -be best friend.

And I'm still not over that. Okay, all right.

All right, all right, Mo. Mo, how do we fix this?

Fix this?

Boy, it is over. All right.

Let me give you a little space.

Thank you. And when I see Q, I'm going to give him a pound.

Literally.

Well, you're not going to be able to do that because Q is on tour right now in

Japan.

Oh, he's in Japan?

Mm -hmm.

Oh.

So that means he's going to be gone for a real long, long time then, right?

It doesn't matter how long he's going to be gone because we're together now and

we're going to be together.

Forever. Oh, whatever, Moesha.

Niecy, I didn't think you could do anything to make me happy again, but

moving out, girl. Hallelujah.

Well, Mo, before you get the Holy Ghost.

I'm switching rooms. I'm moving in with Janine, and when her roommate gets here,

she'll move in with you.

Fine. Anybody would be better than you.

I am here.

Where's my new roommate?

Come, greet me.

Alicia? Melissa?

Amen.

And don't forget, you have a meeting with Dorian's homeroom teacher Friday

morning. Is that all?

No, that's not all. But I'll call you from Jamaica with the rest of it.

Dee. Hmm?

Baby, I can't believe you're going back there so soon.

Well, honey, that's the nature of consulting work. I'm just glad that they

work around my schedule.

Yeah, but, baby, what about our schedule?

I mean, your plane doesn't leave for another two hours.

Ooh, Frank.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

That's all I've been thinking.

Good.

Make me another sandwich, because you know how much I hate airplane food.

Oh, dear.

Hey, Cleo.

Oh, don't tell me I forgot to sign some more papers. No, I'm here to see Dorian.

I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

Well, actually... Frank?

Come on in.

It's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard so much about you, Cleo. I'm Mrs.

Mitchell. Thank you. Nice to meet you.

Oh, my.

Now, that is a very nice watch.

Frank must be paying you very well.

Doreen gave it to me.

Doreen who?

Oh, what's up, Cleo? I thought I heard you in here.

Hey, D -Money, ready to go?

Yeah, let's bounce.

Excuse me.

Before you bounce out of here, Doreen, would you care to explain where you got

the money to buy such an expensive watch for Cleo? Huh?

Doreen, you know, this knockoff watch you bought me had to swap me.

Oh. Oh, that watch.

Oh, yeah, they make these knockoff watches look like the real thing, don't

More real than an unemployed 12th grader could afford.

Dee, you don't have time for this, baby. You got a plane to catch.

I'll talk to you when I get back.

All right.

Cleo, it was nice to meet you.

And Dorian, you remember one thing. I'll only be gone a week.

Have a good trip, Auntie.

Hey, why didn't you tell him I bought you that watch?

Well, you don't think I'd be stupid enough to say I stole it when we were at

mall, do you?

You stole the watch?

Are you crazy?

Did you ever think what would happen to me if you got caught?

I didn't get caught.

I'm good at what I do.

Yeah, but now my dad is going to be coming down on me over some watch that I

ain't even steal.

Oh, the heat is on. What are you going to get, a spanking?

What you trying to say?

I thought you were somebody else.

Yeah, well, I guess you're wrong then.

Oh, it's like that?

No, no, it's like this.

No problem.

Hey, leave my apple here. You ain't eating.

What's this position called? The tree position.

Oh, look.

It's a forest of idiots.

No, Jenny, don't... Just ignore her, girl. Don't let her disturb our fun.

Fun? You've been annoying me for the past two hours.

I'm just... I'm going to go take a shower.

Okay. Okay, well, you know... Alone.

Oh, of course. Alone. Yeah, girl. I told you not to touch my dad going left.

Yeah, well, it's...

No, you didn't. Do you know how many swamp meets I had to go to to find my

shade?

Well, you better be glad I didn't yank it out your head.

Dorian, what are you doing home?

I thought you'd still be out with Cleo.

Oh, well, you'll be happy to know I'm not kicking it with Cleo anymore.

Oh, really?

Well,

after you bought her that watch, I thought that you were serious.

I didn't buy Cleo that watch.

Just tell me where the watch came from.

I don't know. Why don't you ask her?

Because I'm asking you. That's why.

Look, Dorian, all I want to know is the truth.

You don't want to know the truth.

You just want to hear what you think you already know.

Now, wait a minute. That's not fair, Dorian. You're not fair.

You sent me off to boot camp to become a new Dorian, and you still treat me like

the old one.

What do I got to do to get you to trust me?

Dorian, I want to trust you.

I wish I could believe that.

Can I go to my room?

Please.

Okay,

Moesha.

I'll be gone for a few hours, so if the phone rings, don't answer it.

What if it's for me?

Please.

You know what?

That girl is the roommate from hell.

Now, she'd probably get kicked out of hell.

I mean, she hogs my phone, clogs up the sink with enough fake hair to weave a

third world nation.

And she bites her nails.

What's wrong with that, ma?

Her toenails, Lisa.

That's nasty.

What are you smiling at?

You.

I mean, you're complaining to me like you used to do when we were friends.

You know, I have to admit, it's kind of tough being mad all the time.

Except that Alicia, man, she works my nerves.

Well, um, why don't I room with you?

I don't know.

Well, if it, um, if it doesn't work out, then, um, I can always move back home

with my, um, eight brothers and sisters.

You must really be serious.

I guess we can give it a try.

Thanks, love.

Don't thank me, girl. I'm just trying to stay out of the pen for killing Alicia.

Well, good.

Oh, wait a minute. It's just one little problem. What's wrong?

How am I going to break the news to poor Janine?

I mean, girl, we were getting so close.

Oh, she moved out while you were sleeping.

She didn't say nothing.

What are you doing here? Moe's going to kill you. She's right behind you.

Dean, what do you want?

Moe, these are for you.

Look, I already told you, I'm back with Q.

Oh, back with Q. Oh, the plot thickens.

I'm going to go ahead.

Moe, Moe, Moe, Moe.

Well, I have something to tell you from the bottom of my heart.

All right.

Hurry up.

Pulse.

Quicken.

Emotions. Race.

Fear mounts as I face the thought of losing you.

Heartbeat pounding.

Words jumbled.

Lips tremble.

Feet stumble.

I guess it's love.

Ooh, Hakeem.

That was beautiful.

Who wrote that for you?

Hakeem, that was very sweet.

Yeah? Yeah.

You think so?

Well, tell me what you think of this, Ma.

Hakeem, what are you doing?

Oh, listen, listen.

It's just a promise ring.

As in our promise.

always be there for you. Mo, Mo, you don't have to answer right now.

I just want you to think about everything we ever had and

everything that we can become.

It's me.

Hakeem, I haven't had any time to think yet.

Yeah, I know, but that's my mama's boom box in there.
