In theory, group assignments promote
cooperation.

But in practice, I found they mean I'm
carrying someone else's dead weight.

Today, Mrs. Foley divided the class into
groups and told us to act as state

legislators. I'm on the Appropriations
Committee.

Our assignments spend a $32 million
surplus.

Meet my colleagues.

There's Chris, environmental fanatic and
an all -around pain in the...

Well, anyway.

And Jeremy, football captain and
probable slacker.

And Haley, hard worker, wonderful human
being, and an excellent student.

Time to get started.

Well, the bell hasn't rung yet.

Ding dong.

You have your assignments, and you know
your groups. So get busy.

You too, Jeremy.

There are no benchwarmers in my class.

Here comes Captain Flacker.

Major cute.

Look, he won't get us an A. Is this the
Appropriations Committee or an audition

for Clueless?

Hey, guys, I stopped at the library. I
did a little research.

I think these statistics may help us.

I say we use the $32 million and build a
couple of wildlife habitats.

The whole $32 million? We have to ensure
the California condor can breed in

privacy and comfort.

Well, how much will your do -not
-disturb signs cost at your little

resort? I don't factor that in.

We need more money.

Chris, we all care for the environment.

But what about child care for low
-income mothers?

Yeah, what about more public
transportation?

Then sell your Benz and buy a fleet of
buses.

Electric, of course.

What about the kids in the L .A. Unified
School District who don't have books?

Oh, sure. Cut down another four so El
Nino can roll through.

Right through your house, I hope.

I like what you said about child care.
Most people forget about that.

How can I forget about the people if I
work for the people?

Sounds like you have a future in
politics.

That's my plan.

All the way to the White House.

All you need now is a first lady.

And a second lady who won't press
charges.

See that?

The 1980 Lakers. That's when basketball
was basketball.

Yeah, but what's up with Magic wearing
them Daisy Dukes?

Well, that's when shorts were short.

And men were men.

I don't know, Mr. Mitch. Looked like the
WNBA to me.

It's going to be one more war. I'm
telling you that, man.

Hey, uh, Dad, can you open this for me?

Oh, good.

Dee went shopping.

Miles, honey, when I said I needed help,
I did not mean grab the potato chips

and run.

Oh, Dee, baby, let me help you with some
of that.

Thanks, honey.

Yeah.

Sweetheart, what are you doing home so
early from work?

Oh, well, things were a little slow at
the dealership, so I figured I'd do my

paperwork at home.

Hurry up, Mr. Mitch, Mr. Mitch. The
game's going at the overtime.

Oh, I just hit the pause button. It's
the tape.

Hey, Mrs. Mitch, what's for dinner?

Honey, if you knew that you were going
to be coming home early from work, why

didn't it occur to you to pick up Miles
from school or do the grocery shopping

or at least clean up a little bit?

Oh, well, shoot, if I was going to do
all that, Dee, I'd have stayed at work.

Well, I did stay at work all day, and
now I feel like I'm here at my second

Oh, come on, baby. You're just
exaggerating.

Oh,

good, T. You're home.

What time is dinner?

Dang, Mo.

Give her a break.

She's got to clean the kitchen up first.

That's it.

I am through. I am through being the
maid, the cook, the lawyer. laundry

and the chauffeur. You know, from now
on, you all are going to have to start

taking a little bit more responsibility
for what goes on around here, because I

am not your superwoman.

Does that mean you're not taking me to
Blockbuster?

Well, I guess I better get started on
dinner.

What y 'all want on your pizza?

I cannot believe you call me one
-dimensional just because you've only

side of me.

And it's one side too many. Come on, you
guys. Let's stay focused.

We'll only have ten million more to
allocate.

That's right. And, Moesha, I think you
wanted something when you mentioned

corporate matching grants.

Thanks, Jeremy.

No, thank you.

So now we can fund the community arts
program without dipping into the

transportation budget.

What good is your little art program if
we're all dead from air pollution?

You're driving me to drink.

Mo, can I get some water? Yes.

Anybody else want some? Is it purified?

All right, enough for you, Jeremy.

Thank you for me, thank you.

I'll help.

Okay, how many bridges would it take to
pour one glass of water?

I think Jeremy likes you.

Did you see the way he looked at you
when you talked about solid waste

management?

Someone who put down the bean dip?

No.

It was like magic.

Kind of like when Anne Hesch first saw
Ellen DeGeneres.

I don't like to be like that.

Well, not quite.

But all he needed was a little push.

I'll get Mr. Greenpeace out of here and
give you two a little privacy.

How are you going to do this? Leave it
to me.

Oh, my God, Chris, we just heard on the
radio there's a beached well in Malibu.

What? No!

Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. She
wrote with me.

Oh, I'll take him. It's on my way home.

You gotta hurry before Fish World gets
to him.

Bye, Mom. Bye, Jeremy.

Well, I guess that takes care of Chris
for a couple of days.

Jeremy, do you mind helping me clean up?
My stepmother's on a warpath.

No problem.

You know, Mom, it's really been fun
working with you.

I've enjoyed working with you, too.

What's funny is that at first, I thought
you were going to be dead weight.

That is so judgmental.

I don't feel that way anymore.

Actually, I thought maybe we should
exchange numbers.

You know what? I was kind of thinking
the same thing.

But then I realized, we only have two
more days on this project, so what's the

point?

Yeah, right.

happened to knocking?

Whatever happened to Judge Watner?

Get your daddy's credit card, your keys,
and let's go.

No, no, I'm really not in the mood.

That no sounds like a man problem,
though. You still stuck on Q?

No, no, no, no, no, no. See, this vibe
seems taller than Q.

This is a new man.

Who is he?

Jeremy. Oh, you guys, he's the finest,
smartest, most intense brother. Brother

at Bridgewood.

Shoot, he's probably not. Only brother
at Bridgewood.

Oh, tell Kim. Kim, you all about it?

We've been studying together every day
this week.

And sometimes I think he likes me, but
he hasn't even asked me for my phone

number. Well, have you been brushing
after meals?

Yeah.

Why don't you just give him your number?

Are you crazy? And take a chance at
playing myself?

No. If he wants my number, he's going to
have to ask for it.

Hey. If I waited for a man to ask me,
girl would never go out. Even when they

ask you out, they still don't take you
anywhere.

Simone, you're not sending out the right
signals. You gotta give them what I

call the make a man wanna slap his mama
walk.

Oh, oh, and always laugh at their jokes
even when they're lame.

Take note.

Jeremy, you are too funny.

And you are too available.

Where's the towel cleaner? Mr. Mitch
said I can't have any leftovers until I

scrub the grout.

Look, why do we have something? He's a
man.

Only if you get technical and
everything.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't hate me
because you can't have me.

Anyways,

you guys won't.

Well, how do you know if a guy likes you
or not?

Well, if he invites you out on a date
and you stand him up, then he calls you

night and day, then you stalker.

I mean, why do you want to know?

Well, there's this guy at school that I
kind of like, but he hasn't shown any

interest. Man, homeboy's probably just
shy. Why don't you just ask him out?

That's what I said. I'm not with that.
Well, aren't you the one always

us about the modern woman?

Why don't you just practice what you
preach? And why don't you eat at home?

And why don't you answer the question?

Boy, Dee is going to love these
enchiladas.

See, Dad, I told you we didn't have to
go to the supermarket.

Yeah, that's how me and Big Mama do it.
We get creative with what we got.

Thank you, buddy.

Ooh, Mexican food.

Hola, senora, and welcome to Casa de
Mitchell.

Muchas gracias, senor.

Yeah, and Doritos to you, too.

Thank you, honey.

Mr. Churchill, gentlemen.

Inchiladas?

In pita bread.

Yeah, they're Middle Eastern enchiladas.

Let's see.

Ooh.

Sour cream tastes a little sweet.

It's whipped cream.

Told you she liked it.

You know something, guys? I just
remembered. I had Mexican for lunch.

Anybody feel like cereal?

Wait a minute, baby. I thought that
you'd be happy that I was trying to help

out. Oh, honey, I appreciate it. Really,
I do.

Where are the cereal bowls?

With the bowls in the bowl cabinet.

Baby, we don't have a bowl cabinet.

We do not.

Where's the cereal?

In the refrigerator next to the milk.

Yeah, see, I figured we'd save us all
some time in the morning.

And where's the sugar?

Already mixed in with the cereal.

Honey, what have you done to my kitchen?

I improved it.

Oh, yeah, and we improved your closet,
too.

I'll pulpitize your shoes.

Frank, I didn't need a whole new system.
I just needed help with the one we

have.

Oh, you mean the one you have.

Yeah, you know that old saying, if you
want things done your way, do it

yourself.

But, Frank.

Aha, Miles.

Well, looks like that shake and bake
upside down cake is all ours.

Come on, Jeremy.

Dude, you'd rather stay here than cruise
the Beverly Center?

All the babes are going to be there.

Forget that, dude.

I got babes coming here.

All right, I'll just park here then. No,
no, no, no. It's not that kind of

party.

Hi.

I'm Mr. Wright. I heard you were looking
for me.

Wrong.

Sorry. He's been sacked one too many
times.

So, uh... What are you reading?

Another Country by James Baldwin. Oh,
really?

I'm into him, too.

You ever read The Fire Next Time?

Actually, it's one of my favorites.

You know, I wonder if there's any
Baldwin in here.

Man,

I wonder what's keeping Haley and Chris.

You did tell him what time to be here.

I told Haley.

Knowing Chris, he's probably trying to
talk Shamu back into the ocean.

Jeremy, you are too funny.

Oh, you okay?

Look, do you want to go out with me or
what?

Yeah.

What do you want to do?

Look, I brought us this far. You take it
from here.

Okay. I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7.

Where we going?

I'll surprise you.

Here comes revenge of the nerds.

Mega P .O. The bogus whale situation?

Not funny.

Jeremy, thank you for taking me to the
concert. You know I love ushers.

Hey, Moesha. Hey, y 'all.

Oh, you know, don't mind us. You know,
we don't want that truth.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Later, Belayla. We hear nothing.

I'm Kim. And I'm Nisa. And you are to
you.

I'm embarrassed.

You guys, this is Jeremy.

So, Jer, Mo says he's the captain of the
football team.

You must be good. Yeah, he's the best
player.

Come on, Moe. You're giving me all the
fun.

I ain't on that.

Football's a team effort.

Oh, I like this one.

Don't blow it like you did, Q.

Frazier. Oh, Haji.

Whitlock. Oh, and that white boy.

Ow!

Oops, closing me.

Hey, what's up, y 'all?

Hey, Hakeem Campbell. Meet Jeremy Davis.

Oh, what's up, Black?

Oh, yeah, you got it. You got it. Oh,
Iron Man.

What's up with that?

Well, they call him that because he can
play the whole game.

That's why fellas call me Iron Man. You
know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's

right, baby.

Jeremy also wants to be a politician.

Oh, so you want to chill up in the White
House, huh? Get all political.

Nah, man, I just say what I got to say
to keep the teach from calling my mom.

You know what I'm saying?

Oh, yeah.

Jeremy is just being modest. He has a 4
.0 and juggling scholarship offers from

Michigan and Florida State.

So what's there to juggle? I mean, you
just go with the one that's giving you

the new car.

And make sure my girl and her best
friend to get first -class plane tickets

come see you play. I can get that and
then some.

Oh. Oh. You got it like that, player?

Oh, I got you. So you were just frontin'
like you was shy Samoa would ask you

out. No doubt, right. See, I just sit
back and let the honeys come to me.

Oh. Okay.

Oh, so you some kind of player or
something?

Come on, chill, baby. Just jokes.

Just jokes. Hi, hi, hi. I'm ready to go.

But we just got here, you know.

I'm enjoying kicking it with your peach.
I'm ready to go.

Hey, I'll stay, but my recruiter's
rolling through in the morning, so I got

be out.

Damn. Okay, never keep a man.

That feels good.

Oh, so I can do something, right?

Frank.

Honey.

You do a lot right.

Dee, I'm sorry, baby.

I mean, I was trying to help out, and I
ended up making everything worse.

And I appreciate the effort, honey. I
really do.

I apologize.

Maybe I wasn't clear about what I needed
when I said I need help.

Well, look, if we just take the time to
talk, we can always work it out.

Mm -hmm.

Why don't we start with my closet?

You're just trying to get me upstairs.

Mm -hmm.

Well, you've got a few things that need
to be reorganized. Uh, yeah.

Like my dresses, my shoes. Oh, I know
that. My lingerie.

Thanks for a lovely evening. Good night.

Come on, Moesha.

Oh, I made a bad joke.

You know what? I can handle a joke. I
just don't want to go out with one.

What's up with that?

Your friends liked me, didn't they?

Well, I did too until you became a
chameleon.

So I flipped the script a little bit.

A little bit?

I thought I was watching Face Off.

You know what's so funny?

I don't even think about it anymore.

I just adjust myself to fit whatever I
think people expect of me.

What makes you think people expect
anything of you?

Moesha, I'm just trying to keep it real.

Jeremy, the only way to keep it real is
to be real. Good night.

Moesha.

That's right.

That's right.

I decided to give Jeremy another chance.

Wouldn't you?
