Gosh, there's 500 channels and there's
nothing good on TV.

What do you mean?

How about the Discovery Channel?

Nah. History Channel? Nah. PBS?

Nah. The Learning Channel?

What, are you nuts?

So, what do you want to watch? Iranian
Bandstand?

So there is something on. Turn it on!

We'll be right back.

Ernst and I are going to the Pistons
game.

No kidding.

I hope it isn't too much. We have
courtside seats, and you never know when

camera might pan your way.

Yeah, the Lakers have Jack Nicholson,
the Knicks have Spike Lee, and the

have you.

Church!

Hey, Ray, I have some bad news.

I'll say.

T and I wear the same thing. People
think it's cute, but you guys just look

of goofy.

Tamara's right. I'd better go change.
Don't bother. I can't go to the games.

Here's my ticket.

What happened? Well, the supermarket
clerk's union just called a strike.

Those ungrateful little babies.

They don't know how lucky they are to
have such a cushy job like that. Now I

have to go all the way back to the food
boy and bag groceries.

Do you know how hard that is?

Man, now I'm going to have to go to the
game alone.

I'm sorry, Ray. Well, hopefully
you'll... have to be like this until i

some replacements replacements don't you
mean strike breaking union busting

scabs yeah yeah you know some hey girls
how would

you like to fill in for those greedy
slackers and make them extra cash you're

not supposed to cross the picking line
are you oh what loud mouth rabble

filling your head with all that nonsense
i am this is a pro -union household

terrence Now, wait a minute. Lisa, you
know, I'm an employer.

I can understand Terrence's dilemma.

I know what it's like to have some union
nitpicky over some rinky -dink demand.

Now, what is it this time?

A cost of living increase.

Listen, now, I'm management, too. I own
a cart down at the mall. You don't see

any of my employees going out on strike.

You don't have any employees.

Oh, no? Well, what about that part -time
teenage temporary girl I hired for that

one day? You didn't see her go out on
strike?

Mom, that was me.

I'm trying to make a point here, Ted.

And the point is, Terrence, some people
do have principles.

Principles. Right, right, right.
Principles. You can't put a price on

principles.

Although a good price might be $6 an
hour.

I don't know.

No, cash.

And all the loose grapes you can eat.

Ah, forget it. I'd do that anyway.

What about the broken chocolate -covered
yogurt balls?

Well, all righty then.

Give me a bright scone and an apron.

Terrence, I'm yours.

Tia, you with me?

No. I have principles.

Darn it.

Well, too bad. I'll bring you a broken
yogurt ball.

I don't be bringing none of that food
boy stuff up in here. None of that

food will touch my lips.

Well, you know, Tamara, cross my picket
line. I can get kind of sticky.

situations before.

If I can sneak out of geometry class, I
can sneak into food boys.

Not that I've ever done that.

That was just an example.

Samara, now why do you want to do this?

The job would give me self -respect.

I'll be earning my own way.

Plus, I want these really cool earrings
this holiday.

Whenever you shake your head, they play
the theme from ER.

Come on, Samara.

We're proud to have you as a member of
the Food Boy family.

Now, listen, do you have any other
friends who don't have any integrity?

Yeah, lots of them.

There's Steve, and then there's Scooter,
and then there's Fox.

You know, maybe I should go get her, sit
her down, and explain to her the social

ramifications of crossing a picket line.

She's old enough to make her own
mistakes. She'll find out soon enough

like to work in a non -union job.

You sure?

Oh, yeah.

Okay, good, because it's almost tip -off
time, and I don't want to miss a

minute.

You want to come along to the game? No,
thank you. Well, we got courtside thief.

Uh -uh.

Right next to the piston. Uh -uh. Twelve
tall guys in shorts.

All right, I'll go.

Thank you for shopping food, boy.

Oh, and, uh, please excuse for the
obscenities on your way in.

Excuse me, dude?

Sir?

It's Mr.

Winningham. Where?

Me.

I'm Mr. Winningham. Hey, what do you
want now, Steve?

Uh, well, I'm still having trouble
stacking these oranges. Do we have any

are, like, less round?

No, Steve, we have no cube -shaped
fruit. Look, I'll stack the oranges. You

outside, round up all the shopping
carts, okay?

Coolness.

Tamara, the more I watch you, the more
impressed I am with your natural

Well, I feel it's my obligation to guide
and inspire the others. After all...

No, no, no, no.

Look, eggs are on top.

Maybe I can help you.

I made up a little poem to help me
remember proper bagging procedures.

Eggs and bread are kind of like the
head.

Meat is like the feet.

And all the rest go in the chest, except
for the really heavy cans, which are

kind of like the feet.

Oh, I know the...

The last first needs a little work.

Wait a minute, Tia.

Are those food boys, Link?

I told you we're not eating none of that
scab food in this house.

That include farmer food boy sausage,
Link?

I told you no.

These are the spicy ones that plump up
when you cook them.

No, no. Besides, I like the patties.

Have them, too.

No, no, no, no. I'm not giving it now,
Ray, no.

No, Ray, no.

Mom, my civic sister, Mr. Dornan, says
that if the unions gain too much power,

they can be counterproductive in a free
market society.

What are you saying?

Mom, I want my food boy plate!

No, dear, no, no. Come on, now, don't
worry now, honey, now. I went down to

7 -Eleven, and I got some of those patty
little donuts.

I hate them. You better eat them. They
cost me $10.

You said you were going to tell Tia what
you did last night at the basketball

game?

Oh, no.

You're not the new mascot, are you?

No. Although I did get more cheers than
he did when I walked away in that top.

Well, what happened?

They picked her ticket number to compete
at the halftime free throw contest.

You won?

Dude, don't ask me how. I just picked up
the ball and I flung it at that round

thing with the strings on it, and in it
went. Wish.

No, no, no, it's swish, and the round
thing is a hoop.

Well, what did you win?

Free dinner for two at Dot Netter Shrimp
Hut.

Who are you going to take?

Nobody.

Next weekend I get to compete for the
grand prize.

Well, I hope it's dinner for four so I
can go.

No, no, it's a truck. It's a four -by
-four blazer.

With cup holders.

But this time she has to shoot from the
three -point line.

So?

So?

So we have to go to the park so I can
make sure you have the proper form. At

least that way you have a chance of
winning that truck.

Come on, Lisa, this is very important.

Terrence and I want to go camping next
month, and I want that 4x4. Oh, okay,

okay. I guess it couldn't hurt. Got a
little more to learn. I don't want to

embarrass myself and throw the ball in
the dugout.

I better clear my week.

Oh, hey, Tamir, did you hear?

My mom has a chance to win a new 4x4
Blazer.

Really?

can't afford to buy one, winning one is
the next best thing.

You know, if my mom were here, she'd say
that what you're doing is exploiting

honest, hard -working people's
misfortunes and while we are those 20s,

pay me in cash.

Something about not wanting to leave a
paper trail.

But, hey, Tia, if you want to hop on
board this money train, just say the

and I can sneak you in through the
loading dock.

No, thank you. I have scruples.

Darn it.

I have scruples, too.

And 150 bucks.

Last night, a woman comes up to my
checkout counter and hands me a tall

Diet Coke.

Yeah, yeah. Then what happened?

She hands me a coupon for, get this.

I know, but Tamera just bought us lunch.
At least we can do a suck -up.

You bought them lunch?

Tim, what's a couple of bean burritos at
Senior Taco?

About 23 minutes bagging groceries at
Food Boy.

I love making money.

You know, Tamera, you're a lot more fun
to hang out with since you've become a

career woman.

Career woman?

Please, she's a scab.

Well, I gotta go to class.

Here's your books, Tamera.

Here's a little something for your
trunk.

Thanks. Tamara, you are the bomb.

I'll run ahead and warm your seat.

Well, if it isn't the passé posse. And
if it isn't Miss Diff.

Oh, Rhonda, good, you're here. I was
just grappling about a little fashion

dilemma. What else is new?

Well, this sweater, for one.

Now, what color skirt would go best?

That sweater.

That's the sweater from the display
window at that new store in the mall,

Vestido.

Vestido?

Tamira, that's a really expensive store.

Well, I needed something to wear to the
Coolio concert.

Since when are you going to the Coolio
concert?

Since I worked enough overtime to afford
a scalper.

I hate you so much.

Work here is done.

You don't work at Food Boy, do you?

No. It's against my politics.

Darn it.

Good. Then I can still make fun of you.

Nice outfit.

Home Ec Project?

So, E .W., like how I turned the brood
around so nobody can see the soft spots?

You are the best.

It's not exactly a problem. I don't even
know why I'm saying this, but I have

tickets to the Coolio concert, so I
can't work on Saturday.

Tamara, Saturday's our busiest day. You
have to work.

I didn't know that was part of our deal.

What deal?

The deal is I tell you when to work and
you do it.

Oh, is that our deal?

Look, Tamara, I just can't let you off.

Oh, man.

I want to go to the Julio concert.

Oh, I get it.

You're bluffing.

Well, I'm going to the concert, and if
you don't like...

You know, a wise person once said she's
old enough to make her own mistakes.

That wasn't a wise person, Ray. That was
me.

Would you please forget about Tia's
principles for right now? We've got a

utility vehicle to win.

Now, look.

Remember, what you got to do here is you
got to be one with the ball.

See? Then you bend your knees, and you
just do like that and follow through

your arms.

Ray, why don't we just go back to the
park and practice?

No, we don't want to do that. It's cold.
and rainy out there. Besides, this is a

controlled environment.

Ray, those kids weren't laughing at you
that much.

Yes, they were.

But they seemed to like you. They even
gave you a nickname.

Airball.

They can say that, not you. Now, come
on. Start practicing.

Ray, winning those dinners, that was
just dumb luck. This is just gonna mess

up. See, it's attitudes like that gonna
have you driving home that old caddy

instead of my... your brand new blazer.

Now, come on. Remember what I said and
just do it. You'll see the difference.

ahead now.

Hi, Lisa. Hi, Roger.

The kid at the park told me you were
going for the blazer.

Hi, Roger.

Hi, Airball.

You know, if you need some pointers, I
can help. I'm the best bow shooter on my

church team.

That's no problem. I have everything
under control, Roger.

Yeah.

Can you teach me how to shoot? Sure,
it's easy. The important thing is... The

important thing is... that Lisa doesn't
have time to learn some unorthodox...

Technique? What's wrong with my
technique?

Oh, nothing. Just how you kind of cock
your head to the left there, and you

know, and you splay your arms out like
that when you release the ball.

I do that?

Yeah, you're right.

I never realized that. What am I going
to do?

No problem.

I'm going to help you.

You know, I didn't think it was going to
take you this long.

Oh, selling them didn't take long.

It took two hours to pry them out of my
hand.

Oh, by the way, thanks for covering for
me, traitor.

You're welcome, slacker.

Oh, girls, girls, please, please.

Remember, we're all one big happy food
boy family.

By the way, I'm docking you.

Fine, Tia, just move over because I'm on
the register. Oh, not anymore. You're a

cart wrangler.

So go on out there and start taking back
those carts from the homeless people.

I'm the head scab.

You know what, Tia?

He shouldn't be pushing me around like
that. I mean, who can we complain to?

Nobody, Tamira. We're not in a union.

If we were, we'd be getting paid twice
as much. We'd have paid vacations,

insurance, accident insurance. Oh, come
on, Tia. None of that stuff interests

me.

Paid vacations?

Where'd the broccoli go, ma 'am?

Steve, do you mind?

We're discussing important labor
relations.

Hey, Tamara, what's going on?

Well, Fool Boy's been using us, and I
think maybe it's time we did something

about it. Like what?

You guys, we can organize.

Stand together.

Speak with one voice. Make a list of
demands.

Come on, Tamara.

You're really stirring up a lot of
trouble here.

I'm impressed.

No, sister, you're oppressed.

And so am I. And so are you.

And so are you. Well, not exactly you.

$6 an hour.

Make it eight and we'll talk.

Girls, tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Well, for starters, you're here.

This is serious.

You have to remember everything your
father told me so I can forget it.

Now that's the form, Roger.

It is?

That's what I was trying to remember to
forget.

I got my shot back.

Good.

You know, Mr. Campbell, we're playing
Eastside Baptist next week.

Maybe you can coach their team.

Oh, hi, Mom.

So, how did you do?

Oh, I can't talk right now. My blazer's
in the driveway.

You won?

Congratulations!

Oh, Mommy, can I drive it for her? No, I
want to drive it for her. No, no, no, I

didn't win the car.

As a matter of fact, because of Ray, I
beamed a cheerleader.

You said you have a blazer. I do. The
Pistons play the Portland Trailblazers.

got a date with the second string
forward.

Be out in a minute, buck.

So why aren't you at work?

Tamir organized all the workers. We went
on strike, which shut the whole store

down. Right. We forced management back
to the bargaining table. But this time,

they have to negotiate in good faith.

Well, wait a minute. I thought you just
wanted this job so you could make some

money to buy some stupid earrings.

What? One thing led to another, and the
next thing you know, I became a union

organizer.

Hey,

it's over. The strike has been settled.

Yes! Well,

the union gave a little bit on the
pension issues, and management gave in

cost of living increase.

And paid vacations? Uh -huh.

All right, we're going back to work.

You guys got jobs already?

We were. for you.

Oh, not anymore.

I mean, the union workers are going
back.

Well, then we'll join the union.

What?

Are you kidding?

You guys were scabs. I mean, you'd be
lucky if you could shop in the store.

Well, wait a minute. We're the ones that
forced you guys to settle the strike.

Right. And the union membership is very
grateful.

That's why they sent over this plant.

Let me get this straight. The food boy
strike is definitely over? Yeah. Oh,

me those food boy chips. Quick.

Mesquite.

I know this may not have turned out the
way you wanted, but take pride in what

you did.

That's fine, but they don't take pride
at Vestito.

They take Master Charge, Visa, and
American Express, but no pride.

I'm sure you girls feel like you got the
short end of the stick.

I just hope you can forgive me. I'm
sorry, Terrence, but you double -crossed

You exploited us, and you made it that
we can't show our face in the store.

There's nothing you can do to make up
for this.

Not even a brand -new bag of chocolate
-covered yogurt balls?

We forgive you.

Uh,

excuse me.

My blazer.

You ready to go, Bob?

Yeah, just one minute.

Now, Ray, what'd you say I was doing
wrong on my jump shot?

Well, see...

The way you tilt your head to the left
there and then rotate your body when you

shoot. Come on, Buck. Let's get out of
here before he ends your career.
