- Four cans of apple sauce. - Four cans of apple sauce, check.

Six cans of black-eyed peas.

Six cans of� Black eyed peas? That can't be.

What the hell do you mean?

I arranged these shelves

so that all side dish items should be together, vegetables, desserts and so on.

Black-eyed peas can't be there, Lena.

So I suppose this is just a mirage.

You're plucking my nerves.

Need I remind you the only reason we are rushing to do this now

is because someone wants to leave early to greet her two friends from Baltimore.

Me and my girl, Yolanda, we know how to get a party started.

I suppose all I know how to do is end one?

You're always right.

- Mr. Heywood� - Lena.

I want to thank you for being the sweet, sexy thing you are

for allowing my boy, Champ, to room with you this weekend.

The pleasure's all mine, Lena.

Excuse me, but it's my room, too. Don't I get any thanks?

Let me find some unsuspecting fool to give you some.

What's up?

How you doing? What's up, girl?

Damn! What are you doing here so early?

Well, that's because--

'Cause�

- 'Cause, girl, we got a surprise for you. - What?

Piccolo, what are you doing here?

I thought I'd pop in and see what's up with my girl and what not.

And what not? It's been over a year.

So, Lena, this is the famous crew you've talked about?

Yeah, girl, so why don't you introduce us.

These are my homies from Baltimore.

That's Terrell,

Charmaine,

and my boyfriend, Dorian.

Something funny?

Oh. Just the way she said, "my boyfriend,"

and that Richie Cunningham sweater you sportin', mutt!

So funny.

Don't back down, homie. I got your back.

I guess you think you're fly looking like Santa's elf, right?

Yeah, all right. Your man got a little flavor, Lena. A little.

Speaking of flavor,

I see something that looks kind of tasty.

Yo, big legs! Yo!

I know you're not talking to me.

You're right. I'm talking to that fine sister over there.

Oh.

Now that she's gone, it's just you and me, ham hocks.

Are you talking to me, Troll?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, no.

Girl!

It sure look like Champ making friends fast.

About as fast as I'm losing them.

Yeah, and I'd like to do the same with the cat in the hat over here.

You can read Dr. Seuss to me anytime.

Don't back down. I got your back.

Yeah, yeah, I'm with that.

But my girlfriend, Gina, you know, "big legs,"

well, she just might object.

Well, I'll see that she's open for negotiations.

In the meantime, let me get you guys situated.

Champ's gonna stay with the boys.

Yo, you know what's up, you're gonna stay with me and the girls.

- And Pic, I don't know-- - Uh-uh.

I don't mind sharing a bunk with you like the old days, baby.

Uh-uh.

My first name is not "ho," and my last name surely ain't "tel."

Ooh.

Excuse me, homie. I'm just fronting. No disrespect.

All right then, cool.

Lena, he can stay with us. I can handle it if he can.

I know I can handle it.

Cool. We'll drop your stuff off and we can go play some ball, man.

Let's see what you got on the court, Richie.

How come no one asks me permission to stay in my room?

Oh, you ain't got to ask me, honey dip.

I'll be there quick, fast, and in a hurry.

Cool.

I just got to check my schedule, 'cause I got so many honeys.

Plus Gina.

All right. Well, then, stubby,

I'll just watch you all run up and down the basketball court.

Ain't nothing like a Black man sweating.

Slow down, Little Red Corvette.

What are you talking about man? I'm allowed to dunk.

Yeah, right.

Hey, Lena your man got some serious skills on the court.

He's my man, so you know it can't be no other way.

Oh, oh, oh.

But it wasn't always like that, Lena.

I could think of some poo butt brothers you'd like to forget.

Okay. See, Yolanda, you don't want to reminisce.

I know you'd like to forget that dude, Dougie,

that used to hug up on you all the time like this.

- Hey! - Excuse me.

We are not hot sex on a platter. Will you get your boy?

Come on, Thunder Thighs and Booty-licious.

What about the time you wrote that rhyme

for that kid that lived in the pink house projects?

I remember, homie. Ain't that the kid I beat down?

That's my boy!

I'm telling y'all, back in the day, you couldn't touch Pic and Lena.

Like that couple that's down with Shakespeare. What's their name?

- Bonnie and Clyde? - Yeah.

No, that's not them.

You know who I'm talking about, y'all.

Romeo and Juliet.

Yeah, that's them. No�

I guess that's how we was back in the day, huh, baby?

Yeah, well, them were the old days.

I mean, that was then, and this is now.

And what is now all about?

I mean, look at this place.

All these people.

It's like a damn palace in here.

Yeah, doc, but I could get used to a place like this.

I hear that.

Excuse me. Could you take your feet off the table?

Say what, sister girl?

She said take your stinky dogs off the table.

Thank you, homegirl.

And you know that.

Kim, these are some of my friends from out of town

and we'll chill out.

You guys do that.

We mean business around here at Hillman.

- Yolanda, can't you act right? - I guess not.

? So where's the party at tonight, Y'all? ?

It's half off for couples at the club. We could hit that.

Gina, remember the last time we were together as a couple? Me and you?

Me and you, baby. That's right. Okay, then.

- So who you gonna sport, money? - I was about to ask you the same question.

Dorian, come here.

Why don't you come pick me up at 9:00, okay?

So, I'll see you later, baby.

Yeah, okay, then, honey.

Yo.

He's going to make his move on Lena tonight.

He's got his mack daddy gear on practicing his mack daddy glare.

I know one when I see one.

I'll take your advice from you,

after you've been chased around by Yolanda all day?

That's only 'cause I didn't have my ginseng tea this morning.

Terrell, I'm not blind to what's going on. I have my own game plan.

All right.

Homie better look out. He just might lose his girl tonight.

It's a damn shame.

The choirboy and his disciple seemed like such nice fellows.

You know it's always the nice ones that make the good suckers.

Every time.

Hey, check this out.

Hey, Dorian, you sure are a lucky man. I mean, Lena got it going on.

Always will.

You know what they say, to the victor go the spoils.

Well, I don't know no Victor,

but I do know every spot on that little sexy frame she got.

Bye now.

You can't talk about her like that. She's a lady.

- You're lucky I'm a gentleman. - A gentleman?

What you mean, like Michael Jackson?

Yeah, that's right, man.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

One, two, three. One, two, three.

Will someone please turn this child off? Damn!

I am merely exercising my daily habits of hygiene.

I don't what y'all do in Baltimore.

Yo, doesn't she remind you of Mindy?

Yo, Mindy, the hallway monitor in the eighth grade?

- Yeah, the one we stuffed in the locker. - Oh, yeah!

She comes with the territory. Some of us choose to tune her out.

And then you know me, I deal with them my own way.

But it could be a lot worse.

This college life is a trip. I don't know how you cope.

Hey, I do all right.

You certainly do, girl, 'cause that Piccolo is too fine.

Hold up! I thought the cat in the hat was your man.

Honey, you can have him, especially if Piccolo's available.

He's not.

Well, now, if Dorian is your man, doesn't that make Piccolo available?

Sure�

but not to you.

Dorian is fine, but I know he ain't hitting it like Piccolo was.

Come on, Yolanda. Stop it. It's none of your business.

Since when?

Since now, 'cause I don't wanna talk about it.

She needs some.

All right.

Miss Thing, let me tell you something. Piccolo came here to claim you.

Tell me something I don't know.

Here we are.

- Once again, it's on. - Yes, it is.

I think my throat is parched. I better get something to drink.

Excuse me!

- You mind if we dance with your dates? - I didn't think they would mind.

Ew.

- Dorian, what is wrong with you? - Nothing. Why you asking, Lena?

You're dancing up on me like you're a magnet and I'm a piece of steel.

Lena, can't a guy get close to his girl on the dance floor?

- Would you slow that up? - Lena, It's a party. Cool out.

Okay, now see.

Wait a minute now. I know what you're trying to do.

It's not necessary.

What you trying to say? You want to dance with somebody else?

- Is that it? - Relax.

May I?

- Dorian. - Let him go.

You know how fragile the male ego can be.

Piccolo, not now, all right.

Seriously, though, Lena, you was my first love.

I can't get five minutes alone with you?

One little dance?

I sure miss you.

This reminds me of our first dance together.

Remember "The Humpty"?

Yes. Let's not go there, all right?

Come on now. A lot has changed since the last time we saw each other.

I'm not the brother you used to know.

You look the same to me.

Well, I'm not. I'm really getting it together.

I realized the street life ain't really hittin' no more.

It took you this long to realize that?

My homie Rico got smoked.

I heard about that. I wanted to call, but--

I so wish you would've.

You were the only person I could have talked to.

Why didn't you call me, Pic?

When stuff gets that rough, you can always call me.

That's why I'm here now.

I'll get me a job, hook me up a crib.

When you're through with college, we can have it going on.

This is exactly what I was afraid of.

You're not gonna come down here, jump in my life,

and act like everything's okay.

I got an agenda,

and despite what you might think, I got a man.

What that got to do with me?

I know you're just passing the time with the choirboy.

He ain't hittin' it like I was, if the boy hittin' it at all.

Check this here. You weren't all that.

So now you're all that now that you're bougie.

- Is there a problem? Is something wrong? - I swear�

- What you want? - Nothing.

Lena told me you ain't doing the right thing.

Standing there with your mouth open, punk.

Let your woman handle your business.

Hey, Piccolo, man. Why don't you punk up on me?

Call 119.

Call 119!

Lena, why are you looking like that?

You had two fine men fighting over you. You better smile.

There's something about that Piccolo. I can't put my finger on it.

He's thuggish, scandalous, pimpish, gangsterish and hooliganesque.

But he's so fine.

First of all,

y'all need to stop talking about people that you don't even know.

What the hell are you looking at?

That's all you got for Miss Mouth Almighty?

Look, A, Piccolo is not my man anymore.

- And two-- - Don't you mean "B?"

And two, Charmaine and Gina are right.

He acted like he always acts when he doesn't get what he wants.

That's like a Joe Hood.

I can't believe this.

First you leave us,

leave the crew to come to college to educate yourself.

I can get with that. It's cool.

But then, you start running around with these people,

like choirboy and these two fake females,

taking their side.

Wait a minute. Hold it, hold it.

Now, first of all,

I'm not on anybody's side, okay?

Now, Yolanda, you're my girl.

Okay? Understand that I'm here just trying to get an education.

I'd rather be here than on the corner doing absolutely nothing,

ending up with a city job.

So it's like that?

I guess so.

When the Lena James that I know comes back�

why don't you tell her to call me.

And there ain't nothing wrong with a city job.

- You all right, Lena? - I'm fine.

Thanks, Lena. Not too many people would stand up for me like that.

You're welcome.

I can't believe I heard those words come out of your mouth about me--

Charmaine!

Let it go.

Lena James, what's wrong with you?

What?

The inventory check, you actually did it right.

I took stock this morning.

Not of everything, young lady.

If you had, you wouldn't be looking so sad.

Look, don't let the past

interfere with your wonderful future.

- You know what I mean? - Mm-hm.

That Dorian is a fine young Christian boy. He's a good influence on you, too.

Take the rest of the day off.

No, Mr. Gaines, I'm gonna kick it here and work.

You want to work? Now I am worried.

Hey, Lena, what's happening?

- Mr. Wayne, can I ask you a question? - Mm-hm.

Do you think I'm bougie?

You asking the man that married Whitley Gilbert.

That's right. Thanks, anyway.

Wait. Hold on for a second.

If you mean by bougie, have you changed, I'd have to say yes.

Damn.

No, you sound like me four years ago. That's not a bad thing.

It can't be a good thing either. I'm losing my homies.

I had a partner, Darryl, who I've known since we were toothless.

He invested money in businesses in our old neighborhood,

wanted me to do the same. I had my own plans.

Called me a sellout, I called him a hypocrite.

- Then what happened? - Nothing. I haven't talked to him since.

It still bothers me every now and then.

But then I realized, he had to follow his road, I got to follow mine.

But you'll were boys, y'all grew up together.

- You knew each other since you were kids. - Lena, it be that way sometimes.

Maybe one day, our paths will cross again.

Until then, I'm Dwayne "Sellout" Wayne to him.

I hear you, Mr. Wayne. Thanks a lot, hear.

You got it.

Mr. Gaines, I think I'll take you up on that offer.

Oh. All right. Now, that's the Lena James I know.

Guess you're still hot at me for socking your boyfriend in the eye, huh?

Come on, Lena, you know how we do it.

- That's how we used to do it. - That's how we used to do it, Piccolo.

Okay? Today, it's about school, it's about my job.

And that damn son of a preacher.

Don't tell me you're born again.

Come on now. What's all this "born again" and "bougie"?

Pic, I know, I've changed, okay?

I don't think I'm any less down than I was when I was in the hood.

Just less down with me, though.

Pic, being with you is no good, okay?

It would be all about you.

Tell me it wasn't like that before.

It wasn't like that before.

Pic?

All right.

Maybe I'll be down to scoop you up later in life,

if you ain't all shriveled up.

We could be like Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee.

Pic, you always got a place in my heart, but you know the time.

You just make sure the choir--

You make sure Dorian does the right thing. I mean, take care of you.

You know, I ain't taking no shorts.

Mm-hm.

Say goodbye to the homies. I got to go.

- They still talking to me? - No, but come kiss some butt.

Such a fool.

- Mm-mm-mm. - Pic!

- I can't look? - No, you lost those privileges.

- I still feel the magic. - I don't care.

Can I come in?

Yeah, just don't tell no boxing jokes.

That's what you get for trying to play hard.

Look, I thought that was the thing Piccolo would do, so�

So monkey see and monkey start tripping, huh?

Let me tell you something.

I'm not with Pic, I'm not with Nino Brown,

or any mack daddy wannabe.

I'm with you, Dorian Heywood,

who doesn't have to change his game for me

and who's a good influence on me.

What's wrong?

Nothing, I was thinking about something Mr. Gaines said to me earlier.

Uh-oh.

What was that for?

If you're with me, and start thinking about Mr. Gaines,

my rap must be pretty weak.

If it's like that, maybe I should think about Mr. G more often.
