All language subtitles for Sister Sister s03e04 History a La Carte

Well, I've been giving this a lot of
thought. I think we need to have regular

family meetings.

What do you mean?

You know, an open forum where we can
discuss our feelings in a democratic

process. Now, I have the rule and
standard procedure right here.

Great idea, Ray.

Who has any new business?

Tamara?

I move we don't have any more family
meetings.

I second.

All in favor?

Well, I guess that's it.

I ain't never gonna love you.

live with myself.

Tia, it's just one little history class.
What difference does it make? Do you

know how much history there is?

My conscience is totally clear.

Hi, Tamara. How was school?

Okay, okay. I admit it. I did history
class today. Do you have to give me the

third degree?

I am so disappointed in you. What reason
could you have for ditching your

history class?

You want to know the reason?

up about getting the history class when
all of a sudden i heard this crash

outside and a big ugly thump big thump
yes so

i looked outside and i saw this little
child on a bicycle who obviously lost

control and ran to a fire hydrant so i
went out there to set his little broken

arm with a couple of rulers and a
scrunchie

Oh, I believe the burrito part.

You got a guacamole stain on your
blouse.

Tamir, don't you realize this will go on
your permanent record?

Permanent record?

Yeah. Your permanent record is stored on
a humongous computer that's kept deep

inside a huge mountain in Montana. Even
if there's a nuclear war, it won't be

destroyed.

The only thing left will be your
permanent record and cockroach.

Maybe I should speak with Tamara alone.

Oh, I understand.

It could be a little embarrassing.

No, we just don't want to hear any more
of your goofy theories.

It's not a theory.

Tia may have overstated just a tad, but
something like ditching class does go on

your permanent record.

Won't pinning to an injured child look
good on my permanent record?

You didn't really do that.

Oh, yeah.

I'm still being so short -sighted.
You've got to look beyond today.

Let me give you an example.

Yesterday, I got a call to drive the
Secretary General of Awando and his

delegation.

Awando? Yeah. Do you know why the
Secretary General of Awando called Ray's

limousine service?

He needed a limo?

Tamara, remember that little talk about
rhetorical questions?

Yeah. Is that a rhetorical question?

Look.

I happen to have a reputation for being
a reliable, stable individual.

That's why the Awandans call me.

Way to go, Dad!

I'm so proud of you!

Well, see ya.

Tamara, you're grounded. One week, no
television.

What will I do while I'm doing my
homework?

Homework? Dad, that was a rhetorical
question.

Oh, all right. Oh, I'm glad you're here.
I'm glad you're here. I want you to

tell me something.

Now, now tell me.

Now, how much would you pay for this?

Oh, come on, Lisa. You know I'm not
really good at this.

You're a businessman. You know quality
and value. Now, don't let the fact that

it's my creation influence what you say.
I want you to be totally honest,

objective, and unbiased with me, okay?
Okay. Now, how much?

$60.

$60?

I had Mr. Jeff's boutique.

I can't wait till I get my own place so
I don't have to deal with these people.

Well, hang in there and save your money,
and maybe one day you'll have your own

shop. Oh, by the way, Ray, I won't be
able to swing the rent this month.

Let's see, since you've been here,
that's been every month in a row.

Well, then you should be okay with that.

Hello?

Yes, this is Lisa.

Well, thank you.

Goodbye.

What's that all about?

Aunt Teresa died.

Oh, no.

It's horrible.

I can't believe this.

Wait a minute. I don't have an Aunt
Teresa.

I know. I do.

Oh, Lisa, I'm sorry.

Oh, look, that's okay. It's all right.
Thanks.

So, anyway, what about this one?

You don't seem too broken up about it.
About what?

Your dead aunt.

Oh, well, she wasn't the easiest person
to get close to, unless she were a man.

She took up collecting men after my
Uncle Albert died. You heard about the

from Savannah?

This was a tramp from Savannah.

Mobile, Charleston, Tallahassee. I got
it. Memphis. I got it.

I guess that means you won't be going to
the funeral.

Not go. That was my Aunt Teresa. How
would that look?

Honey, it was nice of you to come and
pay your last respects to your great

Of course I would be your mom.

She's family.

What was her name again?

Teresa. Oh, I guess I better read up on
her.

A room full of men and my aunt is
horizontal.

I know I'm in the right place.

Mom, I'm trying real hard to feel sad.

Tell me something about Aunt Teresa.

Well, honey, there's really not that
much to tell. She was a friendly woman.

Man, I heard Teresa had a lot of money.

Over 50 grand.

What else, Mom?

I'll tell you more later.

Wonder who she left it to. Some
relative.

I think it was a nephew.

No? No.

Maybe it was a niece.

You mean the one that was always broke?

She only had one kid.

What was that woman's name?

Regina or something. No, no.

It started with an L. Leslie,

uh, Laurie.

school today.

Don't ask.

My history teacher went ballistic on me.

To make up for ditching, I have to do an
extra assignment.

Well, I hope you've learned your lesson.

I sure did.

Dad, can you write me a note to get me
out of this extra assignment?

You're not getting out of this one,
young lady.

Now, get back to your homework.

Okay.

Why are you humming it?

Well, since you won't let me watch TV,
it helps me to do my homework if I hum.

episode where Jack tries to get the
girls into the hot tub, but he still has

prepare the big dinner for the
restaurant critic.

Oh, I'll get it, Dad.

Commercial's on.

Hello?

Um, just a minute.

It's for you.

It's the FBI.

Dad, no matter what they say, I only
ditched once.

Yeah, hello. Campbell here.

Certainly. I'll hold for a special
agent. Sheldrick.

See, Tamara, I was chosen to drive the
Rwandan delegation because I have a

clean... Permanent record.

Hi, Bill.

How's the prep?

Preparation.

Yeah.

I didn't clear security?

What's wrong with my record?

What is it, Dad?

I was never arrested.

Oh, come on, guys.

I told you, my friends, I'm driving the
Secretary General of the Wando.

10 -4.

That means goodbye.

Right. There's a permanent record.

I gotta go.

Uh -uh -uh, not so fast, mister.

Why were you arrested?

Oh, college capsules was crazy places
back in the 60s.

Were you one of those anti -war dummies?
demonstrators well everybody was doing

it now does that make it all right if
everybody jumped off a bridge would you

at this moment yes you're not off the
hook yet mister we'll have this

talk later because my favorite show is
on here's a story of a lovely lady

Why must the have -nots be so bitter?

Listen, Mom.

Honey, I got you the one thing in the
whole world that you've always wanted.

A computer with a 28 .8 BBS modem and CD
-ROM capability?

No, honey, a Webster lunchbox with
furnace capability.

I wanted this when I was six.

I know, honey, I always felt so bad I
couldn't get it for you that Christmas.

I'm just making up for lost time.

Mom, this is great, but I hope you don't
expect... me to bring my lunch to

school on this, do you? No, of course
not.

Good, because my friends will think I'm
a geek. Not when they see this. I missed

the microphone.

No, it just keeps getting better and
better. And that's not all.

Mom, please.

You don't have

Lisa, I think it's wonderful that you
finally have the money to do all the

things you wanted to do, but when you
get a windfall like this, you should

it wisely.

Oh, I am.

Oh, yeah.

Mr. Microphone, Barbie's Dreamboat.

I mean, what is this?

Aunt Teresa.

Sorry,

but... Other than this lovely urn, I
mean, you've been spending your money on

whimsical things. You should use it to
follow your dreams.

So I guess you don't want this check for
all that back rent I owe.

Thank you.

Oh, you're welcome.

You know, I can't take it.

I mean, what about that dream you have
of owning your own shop?

Here, take this back and use it to
follow your dream.

Oh, well, thank you, Ray.

Ray. What?

You gotta let it go.

Oh.

Well, here's your opportunity.

Go for it. Yeah, well, I'm going. I am
going.

When?

And like the legwork, a little
demographic research, it's just not that

find a shop for rent, Ray. I know. So
today when I was down at the Northland

Mall, I wrote down the number of a shop
for rent.

Oh, well. Well, thank you, Ray. Well,
I'll call them next week. Okay, fine.

Oh, I get it.

You think I won't do it, don't you? You
think that I'm afraid.

No, I don't think anything like that.

I'll show you. I'm going to call. I'll
call them right now. I can do it. Well,

good. Call them any time you like. I'll
call them right now. Well.

Good night. I'm a fan. So do you. I'm a
fan.

Northland Mall.

Sorry, right number.

Be quiet. Stop being so selfish. You
don't need him like I do.

Hey,

hey, hey, time out. Come on, hey, stop
it, stop it.

Now I know who this guy is, but he's not
worth it.

The bond between two sisters is stronger
than any bond with any guy.

Is that clear?

Yeah. Now, who is this clown?

You, Dad.

How sweet.

I told our history teacher that you
would speak to our class about your

revolutionary activities in the 16th. It
was my idea.

But I need the extra credits. It's not
fair. You always need the extra credits.

Hey, that's just one of the perks.

be happy to do it, but I don't think
I'll be able to make it. Oh, yes, you

Your schedule's opened up a bit since
you flunked your security clearance.

So, apparently, everybody found out
about your permanent record.

Oh, hi, Mom.

Oh, hey.

Hello. Hello.

Hello.

Look, did you check down in the mall
about that shop?

Uh, no, no, no. But I'm going to just as
soon as I can learn how to call out on

this thing.

Unbelievable. Young ladies, would you
excuse us for just a moment?

Oh, sure.

I get it.

You really never intended to rent that
shop, did you?

No. With a lot of talk, wasn't it?

Wasn't it?

Yeah, it sounds good in conversation,
but when you get right down to it, you

don't have what it takes to pull it off,
do you? Do you?

No.

Huh? Guess I do.

You were absolutely right. I'm just a
fake. I'm a fraud.

No, no, no, no, no, you're not. Yes, I
am. No.

I was just using reverse psychology.

It usually works. No.

Okay, okay, okay. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Well, try it again, please. Use your

reverse psychology. I really want you
to.

No, I better go.

That got rid of him.

fraud or a fake.

You will listen?

Well, sure.

When an adult tells you to leave, you
gotta listen.

I remember that.

Honey, I don't know anything about
running a real business. I mean, who am

fooling? Well, Mom, I think you've done
quite well out of the trunk of your car.

And now with this phone in your purse,
you're halfway there.

See, I'm out of my league. The idea of
owning my own...

me. I was five years old the first time
he taught me to face my fears head on.

Baby, I was just trying to get you in
the dentist's chair. That hand pump

wasn't working. I had to come up with
something.

Well, it worked. And now you have to do
the same thing.

I don't know. This is a lot different.

Mr. Hand says buy a store.

There are many social acts...

How does it work here?

Man, this is really boring.

Now, that period of prosperity, if you
will, ushered in the 70s. Oh, no, no,

Sorry, Mr. Campbell. Only one decade per
speaker.

Any questions?

Come on, kids. Get down with me. Rap
with me here.

I have a question for you. Go ahead,
fire away. How much do you knock off on

stretch limo for the prom?

I'll tax you a priceless.

Dad, why are you being so modest?

You know, He was arrested during a
college demonstration.

Oh, really?

Could you tell us about it? Unless
that's dull, too.

I'd rather not go into that.

And the FBI still won't let him forget
it. You were a radical?

Radical?

No, I wasn't exactly a radical.

Well, you were arrested, weren't you?
Well, yeah, but... No buts, Dad. You

better tell them or this could get ugly.

Were you one of those hippies?

Well, I was kind of groovy.

Well, my dad said that those hippie
weirdos were just trying to rip this

to shreds. I wasn't that groovy.

So, what'd you go to jail for?

Did you take over the administration
building?

No, no. You blew up the ROTC building,
right?

No. Well, where you are, one of those
weirdos that kidnapped Patty Hearst.

My dad wouldn't do anything that
terrible.

Then what'd you do, man?

What did you do?

I ran naked through the campus, all
right?

They called it streaking.

I was pledging this fraternity.

I'm not proud of what I did, and I'm
still paying for it.

You ran around naked, Ray?

Putting enough money away to start Tia's
college fund. I had $5 ,000 left over

to fulfill my dream.

You got the shop, look.

Whoa, this is a bar. Well, actually.

Oh, this is great. You can take out that
wall and put dress rooms over on the

side. No, but it's a great location.

Yeah, there's plenty of room for a nice
window display.

This isn't my store.

Good.

It's too small anyway. I mean, you need
a lot more room for a window display.

Besides, this end of the mall is dead.

Right, how many dress rooms can you get
in there?

Besides. I do want this store when you
got that stupid cart parked out in

So where's your store? This stupid cart
is my store.

Better.

Oh, plenty of foot traffic here. It's
nice. You don't have to worry about

space. Yeah, forget about all those
dressing rooms.

You gotta admit, it's a step up from the
trunk of my car. Exactly.

One step up.

with advertising, business cards,
hangers, insurance, liability, and

well, this is all I could afford.

And I'm thrilled to own it.

Well, that's great, Mom.

And we're proud of you.

You're going to do great. I just know
you are.

Yeah, I think so, too. I am here to
stay.

Watch out!

That's a better location anyway.

Passions by Letha.

Conveniently located between the Orange
Bang and the Gap.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you. The mall
called. They moved your car to the

other side.

Oh, look, let me help you with a few of
those.

Okay.
