All right, which one should I take, Niecy?

I like that one. Really?

What does it say?

It says stylish, classy, expensive.

Let me see yours. Okay.

What does mine say?

Honk if you want to have a good time.

Yeah, girl.

Hey, babe.

You're joking, right?

Oh, lighten up, girl. This is our first spring break, okay?

We are going to be on the beach in Santa Barbara, honey, less is more.

You know what? You're probably right.

Wear what you want.

Malisha, are you in there?

You know, Nisa, after all of the stress I've been through the past couple of

months, I'm not trying to get caught up into any more drama.

I'm all about tranquility, harmony, peace, and quiet.

Hey, ponytail!

It's me. It's me.

It's me.

It's me.

It's me.

and this is going to be a beautiful week.

Yeah. Well, it didn't start off beautifully.

Shoot, the way that crazy girl reared into this.

Not a yelling and screaming she did. She act like you ran into her.

Girl, I was about to whoop her. Look,

girl, like I told you, I don't have time for that negative energy anymore.

The most important thing is nobody got hurt.

Yeah, well, speak for yourself, Mo. If I get so much as a crook in my neck, she

paying my tuition.

Oh, look, Mo. She ran into us. Now she's stalking us.

Oh, no. If it isn't the girl who thinks the yellow light means stop.

Alicia, I thought that we settled this.

Alicia, I think the light was red. And nobody asked you.

What are you two doing in our room? Joy, call security.

Okay. Uh -oh, Joy, don't touch that phone.

Okay.

Alicia, I'm sure there must be some mistake, but this is our room. We've got

keys. And what do you call this?

Well, we were here first. And you can be the first to leave.

Well, I'm sure there's a simple solution to this. Yeah, get out.

You see, calm down. I'm going to call the front desk and find out where

supposed to be.

All right, Joy, I'll take this bed. You can have the one by the window.

Uh -uh, don't divide what doesn't belong to you. Okay, you two will be sleeping

on the beach.

I thought you said I wouldn't have to do that unless you had company.

If anybody's sleeping on the beach, it's going to be you. Oh, no, no, no. See,

we were here first. Okay, no, no, no. Put my stuff in.

Double booked?

Can you let us know when there's a vacancy available?

Sunday? Well, you know what, ma 'am? We can't wait until Sunday.

Sorry. It's not your fault. Thank you very much. It's not your fault. Give me

that phone. Hello?

Yes, I demand to speak to a manager.

That kind of an attitude is not going to get us anywhere, Alicia.

They double -booked the room, and every hotel in town is full.

So can we share the room?

Well, it's not like I drove all the way up here to sit in a hotel anyway.

Let's not talk about your drugs. All right, problems solved.

Hey, y 'all, what's up? Y 'all ready to eat? Oh, no, but I'm ready to meet.

Oh, yeah, Gabe, it's a couple friends of mine, Moe and Desperate. You call her

Lisa. It's nice to meet all of you. I'm Alicia.

So where are you taking us for lunch? I have a taste for Italian.

Oh, that's funny, because we have to budget for Dutch.

Okay. Oh,

no, budget for Dutch. Ain't that something? That can't be funny.

Yo.

Yo, yo, what's up, y 'all?

Auntie. Mm -hmm? Look, I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job or nothing,

but you need to fire Miss Barnes.

I beg your pardon? That woman doesn't know what she's doing.

Well, what's the matter, son?

He's flunkin'. She hates me.

Oh, Dorian, why would you say something like that?

Because he's flunkin'. Dorian, what's the problem with Mrs. Barnes?

Well, no matter how hard I work, I can't get a good grade.

I played over this paper, and she gave me a D.

A D?

History, the past, and what happened.

Dorian, how long did it take you to write this paper?

A whole hour. A whole hour.

What, you don't believe me?

Dorian, your teachers are just trying to prepare you for college.

Now, it takes time to write a good paper.

Hey, if you'd like, I can sit down with you and show you exactly how to do it.

What do you think?

No, I got it.

Well, I certainly hope so, because that's the only way you're going to

this grade.

Come on, D, let's go pick up dinner.

All right.

You're welcome.

Hey, D -Money Man, I appreciate what you're doing.

What are you talking about?

Well, I was afraid when I got to Crenshaw, I'd have to live up to Moe's

-A legacy.

But thanks to you, all I have to do is show up.

Now move over so I can go to the WWF website.

Man, get out of here before I smack you down.

Got to pay for the writing house.

Oh, just like Mo.

Always hogging a computer when people have more important things to do.

I have a feeling I'm about to get an A.

Hi.

Okay.

We're here.

My name.

Oh.

Thank you.

It's a shame you hurt your ankle.

I guess you won't be making it to the party tonight.

Oh, guess again.

See, all I need is an aspirin and a bag of ice and I'll be fine.

Well, if that doesn't work, you got me to lean on.

I'll see you.

Okay. Bye. Bye.

for kids. Now, Joy, if you really want to see how to get a man, you watch me

work that party tonight.

Guys, I don't really want to trick anybody or work anything.

I just want to meet a nice guy.

I'll leave you alone with Moesha for less than an hour, and already she's

everything I've taught you.

Joy is right. I think being honest is the best way to meet somebody.

Oh, is it? Yeah. And how many numbers did you collect today? None, because I

came here to relax, not to chase men. My life doesn't revolve around guys.

Well, you don't know what you're missing.

Shoot, I'm here to release some pent -up energy.

Ain't no shame in my game.

All right, Alicia, I'm just gonna go take a shower because... Oh, Ma, after

girl. You know, I got a date, so...

Excuse me. Is Alicia here?

Rodney?

You left your sunglasses on my beach towel.

And you brought them back.

Is a thank you enough, or do I have to dance with you tonight?

How about all of the above?

All right.

See you later.

Toodles.

You forgot your sunglasses?

And I thought tricks were for kids.

I mean, that's smack.

Sure you will. Sure you will.

You don't have to dance by yourself.

We can dance together.

You call that dancing?

Why don't you give me a lesson?

All right, but just one dance, all right?

Just because I take off my shoes does not mean I want her wearing them.

Huh?

See, I'm going to have to teach Miss Moesha a lesson.

So, Mrs. Barnes told me that Dorian handed in one of Moesha's old papers.

What?

All right, where is he? He's in the family room. But, honey, come on, look.

already handled it.

Mrs. Barnes and I have worked something out.

Oh, all right.

I'll just follow your lead.

Dorian?

Is everything okay?

It's Miss Barnes.

Look, I turned in what I know is an A paper. Mm -hmm. And this time I got an

I can't win.

Let me take a look.

History. Beyond black and white.

Knowledge, consciousness, and the politics of empowerment.

Wow, now that is quite a title. Well, it's quite a paper.

Well, I have to admit, it sure doesn't look like it deserved an F.

Far from it.

So you're going to straighten out Ms. Barnes?

Well, I guess I'm going to have to. If she's harboring some resentment towards

you, we're going to have to find out why.

But she's just going to deny it. But she can't deny it. Not if you have enough

documentation. Where's your bibliography?

Uh, it wasn't attached?

I'm afraid not.

What you're going to have to do then is go back and write down every source

of information that you used to write this paper.

Every book, magazine, publisher, author, page number, everything.

That's going to take forever.

But I'm going to need it, Dorian, if I'm going to tell Mrs. Barnes to raise your

grade.

All right, all right, I'm on it.

Honey.

The library.

Mm -hmm.

It's still on that street. Yeah, the same street it was on when you wrote

paper.

Right. Mm -hmm.

Cute picture of me and you.

Girl, I want this one.

Okay, you can have that one.

Ooh, this is a cute picture of you and Hakeem. I want this one, too.

Ooh! Uh -uh.

Oh, that is your last ooh, okay? Why don't you just take all the negatives

get yourself some copies?

Well, you can keep the ones with Alicia in them. I only want the pleasant

memories, thank you. You know what?

I gotta hand it to you. You really kept your cool no matter how hard she tried

to take you there.

Yeah, but I couldn't give her the satisfaction.

Anyway, what's up with you and Gabe?

Well, uh, let's just say it's a couple pictures in here I can't show my mama.

You know what? At least Gabe is a nice guy.

Unlike these knuckleheads I've been attracting the past week.

You know what? Ever since spring break, guys just feel like they can step to me

any old kind of way.

Hmm. Let's just bring fever mode, man. I'm sure to die down.

I'll get it.

Yeah, we're looking for Moesha.

Um, I'm Moesha.

Yeah, me and the fellas, we wanted to know if you want to party with us.

Let me think about it.

No. We have a man.

See what I mean?

Damn.

Go away!

Oh, my bad, it's you. Hey.

So, what's up? Nothing. I just haven't seen you since we left Santa Barbara.

Okay. Do we make plans or something?

Oh, no.

No, I just figured that we would have hooked up by now, though.

After one dance?

Well, I was kind of hoping for one of your private dances.

What? What's wrong with you? No, what's wrong with you?

You're the fool who just came in here trying to get his freak on.

Hold up. You're the one getting busy with every guy in Santa Barbara, and

trying to call me a freak? Oh, I was just trying for you to go.

You must have me confused with somebody else.

Well, that's not the word around campus.

Well, what's the word around campus?

Hey, stay on me. Hey, it's time to go.

Okay.

Go on.

Hakeem, what's going on?

Tell me.

Alicia's been going around campus telling everybody that...

that you sleep around.

All right, Mona, look.

Now, when I get in the headlock, you just reach in and just rip a spleen out.

No. No drama, remember? We're going to sit down and talk like two adults.

Pretty sure this is all a misunderstanding.

But let's get it straight then. Let's do it.

Shut up.

Excuse me, Alicia. I need to talk to you for a minute.

I'm studying.

I've heard that you've been spreading nasty rumors about me, and I want to

why.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, well, you better hope you don't.

I heard that you said I slept around a lot in Santa Barbara.

You know, I've heard those rumors, too, girl. It's all over campus.

You must be so embarrassed.

It would have to be true in order for me to be embarrassed.

So it's not true?

But you said you saw her in the room with three guys. Okay, that's not what I

said.

You know, I have a pretty good memory, and I recall... All right, shut up, Joy.

Let's go.

Let go of my arm. No, not until you admit to me what you did and apologize.

Okay, you need to take your hands off of me.

Hoesha.

Hello. Hey, Auntie.

I'm finished with my bibliography.

Everything is there. Every book.

Magazine, newspaper, article. I was very, very thorough.

Well, let me take a look.

Dorian, this looks great.

I'm very impressed.

Well, you should be. That was a lot of work.

I feel like I wrote that paper twice.

In fact, when you talk to Mrs. Barnes, you should tell her I deserve two A's.

Two A's?

And we both agree, you deserve an F.

An F?

Dorian, Mrs. Barnes gave Moesha an A for this same paper two years ago.

So y 'all made me do all of this work for nothing?

Oh, no, no, no. I wouldn't say this was for nothing.

If you want a passing grade, Mrs. Barnes and I expect you to write your own

paper using the source material from your own bibliography.

And you can do it in detention. I know you know where that is.

By the way, Dorian, next time you get on the computer, you'll see that I deleted

the rest of Moesha's papers.

Whoa, how do you feel bad? She's the one that started it.

I know, and I was supposed to stay calm.

Plus, I know violence never solves anything.

It does on the Sopranos.

There's Alicia. I'm going to go apologize, all right?

Well, make sure that's all you do.

Alicia, I have something to say. And I have witnesses.

Look, I came over because I wanted to apologize for my behavior yesterday.

I mean, even though you were wrong, I shouldn't have come at you like that.

And I'm sorry.

Well, you should be sorry for the way you threw yourself at my man.

Your man?

Who's your man?

Rodney.

Just throw things over Rodney?

Girl, I'm sorry to him because, you know, I don't really like Rodney too

You know, I don't even know why I was tripping, girl. I guess I'm sorry, too.

Good.

Sorry that I thought Rodney would ever go for a desperate little tramp like

yourself.

Mo?

You know, I'm just gonna leave because I can see how anxious you are to hit me

in the fist with your face.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.
