All language subtitles for Sister Sister s03e20 The Candidate

Okay, I'm going jogging. Lisa, I can't
find that blue dress.

Oh, well, Tamera, it's on them there.

I found it. Oh, good.

Bye, Mom. I love you. Wait, wait, wait,
wait. She brought some lunch.

Thanks, Mom. Oh, Walkman, Walkman.

Uh -huh.

I knew it. You talk about exercising,
but you never do.

Thank you.

Let's kick it, gang.

Now, remember to listen to each
candidate before we make up our minds,

right, people?

Rhonda, are you ready?

Always. Yeah.

Can we vote now, ma 'am?

My fellow students, some of you may
think I'm a snob, but I've always

special connection with all of you
little people.

In the words of our school's namesake,
Tony Roosevelt... What?

a big bunch of goodies.

All righty -do.

There you go.

Thank you very much, Rhonda. That was
delightful.

All right, all you homeboys and gals.

It's time for our next candidate.

Let's give it up for Pia Landry. Go,
baby!

Oh, sorry.

Um, my fellow Rooseveltians, I'm Pia
Landry.

critical issues facing our school that
need to be discussed, and I think we all

know what they are.

Maybe not.

For an example, our vocabulary scores
are atrocious.

You know, real bad.

So let's start a required program over
the summer.

I have more refrigerator magnets with my
picture on them.

Thank you very much, Tia. That was very
dope.

Mrs. Matryoshka likes to sleep in them.

Boy, Tia, maybe you should get some T
-shirts and stuff.

Absolutely not. If I can't win running
on the issues, I won't run at all. I'm

behind you 300%, Tia.

Hey,

Tamara's really popular.

How about her running?

Good idea. I'm behind Tamara 300%. Wait
a minute. A second ago, you were behind

me. That was then. This is now.

Wait, you guys are wasting your time.

I think my sister's really interested in
politics.

Hey, Tamara, you want to run for
president?

Sure, why not?

Tamara, are you sure you want to run? I
mean, that's a lot of hard work.

Hard work?

What are you nuts? Forget it.

Yeah, but every Thursday you get six
period office student council meetings.

Six period off?

That's chemistry.

Hey, Mr. Matushka!

You know, with Tamara running, we got a
good chance of beating Rhonda.

Yeah!

Wait, wait. Tia, aren't you running for
president?

Is this okay with you?

Well, yeah, I'll just drop out if you
guys want me to.

Look,

you guys, the important thing is to beat
Rhonda. So let's start making an

intelligent plan to counteract her
political strategy.

Yeah, let's go make fun of her hair.

What's the matter? The neighborhood
burglar, he hit the Walker's house next

door. He got a snowblower, an electric
hedge clipper, and a weed whacker.

They broke into the Walker's house?

That's terrible.

I thought you hated Walker.

Oh, I do.

It's just that he bought all that stuff
from me.

That's it. We're signing up for that
neighborhood security patrol.

What's it called?

Surveillance Security System.

I used to see all the little signs on
everybody's yards before they all got

stolen.

Just relax.

Jeff, who's running for president?

Oh, no, not Perot again.

I'm running for junior class president.

You're running against Tia?

No, I decided to throw my tam out of the
ring. Well, she didn't pull out of the

race completely.

You see, while I'm getting the stupid
adulation of the people, the glory, and

the fame, Tia will be doing all the
important behind -the -scenes work that

nobody knows about. You lucky dog, you.

Thanks. You know, I never looked at it
that way.

Well, congratulations, Tamara.

Good luck, honey.

Lisa, I'm going over to Walker's house.

Oh, that's nice. You gonna tell him how
bad you feel?

No, I'm gonna find out if he has
insurance, because I'm gonna sue him.

Now, Ray, be careful what you say. Now,
remember last time. He punched you in

the nose.

I am not afraid of him.

Lisa, would you go with me, please?

Hello, Madam President.

Came up with your campaign slogan.

Oh, if you don't want to see Rhonda
again, vote for Tamara.

All righty then.

Thanks, Roger.

My slogan is nothing compared to theirs.

Well, what's yours?

Nothing.

Hey, anybody feel like going to the
mall? Hey, smart move to campaign there,

Tamara. The mall rats are your people.
Well, actually, I just wanted to go

shopping. Oh, come on, Tamara. It makes
sense to go out and press the flesh.

Yeah, good idea. Press the flesh. Me
first.

Shut up, Roger.

Hey, I'm starting to like politics.

I swayed 15 new voters and bought six
great new outfits.

Hey, I needed something presidential.

Tamira, we're here to campaign.

Now, come on. There are kids in the
arcade downstairs we should talk to. Oh,

great idea. And it's right next door to
that new Armenian shoe store.

down these mean corridors.

Not funny, Lisa.

Muzak, gaudy displays, bustling
customers.

It's a deadly mixture.

Gee, all this time you made it look so
boring.

Thank you.

Well, it's all part of the mystique of
the mall cop.

Well, I'm going to mosey on over to
Hickory Farms.

Oh, Dave, Dave!

Don't worry. I'll bring you back a
cheese log. No, no, no, no, no.

Somebody lifted my Ethiopian wool
sunburst orange double weave embroidered

castan. Really?

Could you describe it, please?

Where? It'll be the caftan wrapped
around your neck unless you find it. 10

Oh, I think it was that lady in red.
Leave it to me. Excuse me, ma 'am.

Ma 'am?

How dare you?

Okay.

Either cough up the caftan or prepare
for a frisking.

There is no third way.

Barnes!

Yes, Mr.

Eichelberger, sir?

What are you doing to my wife?

It's not what it looks like, sir. It is
nothing romantic.

I hate to be the one to say this, but
she's lifted some shop. Oh, okay, okay.

bad. Oh, no. It wasn't stolen. I found
it. It was under my lunch.

Okay.

In that case, I guess you are free to
go, ma 'am.

And so are you.

Oh, no, no, Mr. Eichelberger. Don't fire
him. It's all my fault.

Miss Landry, how would you like your
cart relocated to the north end of the

mall?

Later, Dave.

Now you turn in your badge to the
costume shop.

Come on, honey.

Oh, Dave, I am so sorry. I just feel
terrible about this.

Don't worry, Lisa.

I'll get you that cheese log tomorrow.

Hey,

Ray. Oh, Lisa, this surveillance
security system is great. They got 24

patrol, armed security guards.

And they give you a free cute little
sticker to put on your window.

Yeah, I'm excited.

Oh, don't tell me. You still upset about
that Dave guy down at the mall?

Well, I still feel guilty about getting
him fired.

That's why I recommended him for a new
job.

That's really nice of you, Lisa, but I
don't know where you're going to find a

job for a clown like that.

He's such a screw -up.

Where is he going to work?

Good morning.

Dave Barnes, surveillance patrol.

At your service.

Might I use the phone to call the
police?

Someone has stolen my patrol car.

Refunds, refunds.

Okay, it took me 15 drafts, but I
finally got the perfect opening speech

your debate with Rhonda.

Tia, we've been campaigning for a week.
Relax.

Relax? We want to beat Rhonda, don't we?
Okay, now for the debate, I put all the

key points on these three -by -five
cards.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, three by five.

As a candidate for junior class
president, I'm concerned about the many

important issues facing our school
today.

For example... Just a little security
check, please.

Don't mind me.

Go on about your business.

Fellow Rooseveltians, I remember school
elections.

I was voted bike rack monitor three
years in a row.

I'm running for junior class president.

Don't put yourself down. That's pretty
important, too.

Tell me, have you thought of planning
anything incriminating your opponent's

locker? Do you mind?

No, not at all.

You see, it could be, uh, say, the
teacher's answer book or a pack of

I don't think that's a good idea, Dave.

Wait a minute. Let's hear what the man
has to say.

Pack of Luckys.

Dave, don't you have other homes to
patrol?

Yeah, but, uh...

They won't let me in.

Okay, Dave, I made you some coffee.

Thank you, Lisa. So go.

Now, I know you do great at your new
job.

Yeah, my shrewd observational skills are
finally being put to good use.

And I hope the twins made you feel at
home.

Twins? What twins?

Oh, yeah, of course.

Now I see it.

They do kind of look alike, don't they?

And another thing.

I have made a complete disclosure of my
grade record.

Why hasn't my opponent?

What are you hiding, Tamara?

Yeah, let's see your grades, Tamara.

Uh, well, the question is, is what is
Rhonda hiding? It's

not the true issues of this campaign.

The throw cap.

Rhonda Coley, too, has done these
things.

Not.

I've done a whole new revision of our
school activities budget. It can be

balanced in three semesters.

Rhonda Coley, too, has a plan.

Not.

And so, my fellow rough riders, there's
this one thing you have to say to

yourself as you walk into that sacred
temple known as the voting booth.

was all that and a bag of chips.

Hey, nice going, Tamera. Did you like
the way I took the offensive with that

speech? Actually, Tamera, I wrote it
that way.

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Young lady, I thought your speech was
funky fresh.

And Tia. Yes, Mr. Matushka? You ought to
take lessons from this sister of yours.

She is going places.

Thank you, Mr. Matushka.

Ray,

don't turn on the light so fast. You can
scare a guy.

Dave, how did you get in here?

The back door.

Now, Ray, you really ought to lock and
bolt your door at all times.

Well, I guess it's too late now.

That's right.

So, uh, Ray.

I memorized all the telephone area codes
in the entire country.

I don't care, Dave.

Well, you will when you can't find your
phone book and I'm the only guy around.

Savannah, Georgia, 9 -1 -2.

Dave, it's late.

Well, it's even later in New York. 2 -1
-2.

Out, Dave.

Trenton, New Jersey, 6 -0 -9. Out, out.

Ray, what's all that noise? You gonna
wake up?

Lisa, I know you feel responsible for
getting him fired, but that man's got to

go. Well, the way you yelled at him, I
wouldn't be surprised if he just quit

job. No, don't worry, Ray. You won't see
him anymore.

You won the election, and I just want to
say, no hard feelings.

You have my full support.

Not.

Hey, congratulations.

You barely did it. Now it's time to get
to work implementing those programs you

ran on.

Uh, T, can I see you for a sec?

Oh, yeah, sure.

You know, now that the election's over,
maybe we should distance ourselves from

each other.

But...

I wrote your speeches in those three -by
-five... T .T., you can still do all

the work, but I think I better stand
alone and show the people that I'm the

in charge.

Well, I'm not sure I like that very
much.

Tia, don't be a grouch.

You can still be first twin.

Come on, let's just enjoy the moment.

I'm head of a political party. Or should
I say...

I'll be your lackey.

See?

Hi,

everybody. It's sure cool to be
president.

Oh, man.

Lincoln never had to write his own
speeches.

Okay, maybe he did, but he was a special
case. He got lucky with that four score

deal. Hey, that was good. Maybe I should
rip that off.

Okay, that wouldn't be honest.

what you're thinking, that I write my
own speeches and I'm a fraud, right?

Okay, maybe Tia did help me out a
little.

Okay, a lot.

But look, I'm the people's choice and
she's just going to have to deal with

that. And I know what you're going to
say, that I should swallow my pride, go

there and ask her to help me.

Oh, man.

Life is nothing but catches.

Okay, I'm going to go up there and ask
her, but she's not going to do it. She's

just jealous of my charisma.

I'm glad we had this little talk.

My fellow classmates, it is truly a
privilege and an honor to be serving

Thank you for electing me, Tia Landry,
your class president.

Together, we're going to replace despair
with hope.

Inaction with action.

No, we can't. We can't be.

Not you again.

Now, look, I'm sorry that I got you
fired, and I don't want to hurt your

feelings, but you're starting to get on
my last nerve.

Now, Ray and the girls are right. You're
becoming a pest.

Oh, don't give me the silent treatment.

You're not dead.

I'm sorry. Are you all right? That's a
burglar. Where?

There. Ah!

Freeze.

What do I do now?

I'm gonna be fitting you with a nice
pair of bracelets, and then we're going

downtown.

What am I doing wrong?

They can be tricky. You just have to
slap them on with authority.

Thank you.

First time, huh?

Yeah. Well,

Dave, you don't know how grateful I am
that you caught that old stanky burglar.

Comes with the territory, Lisa.

Yeah, you make a nice club sandwich,
too.

First of all, I would like to
congratulate you all for setting a great

for the rest of the country.

Almost 30 % of you dudes actually voted.

Okay, great.

Now, give it up for your new junior
class president, Tamara Tambo.

Thank you, Mr. Matuszka.

My fellow students, I just went into
this election because I just wanted all

glory of being in power and as well as
the joy of creaming Rhonda.

I know you won't believe this, but I
don't have a clue about being president.

Now, my sister, Tia, she knows all the
issues and all the right things to say.

I know because during the campaign, I
said them.

She should be up here instead of me.

I say let's impeach her now and get it
over with.

No need for that because I'm stepping
down.

Can I be president since I was elected
vice president?

No. Okay.

Wow, what are we supposed to do?

This has got me wigging.

Wait.

There's no need to wig, Mr. Matushka.

the office and won the election. I
didn't. Besides, that speech took

courage, and humility.

All the qualities you want in a
president.

So, if we give her all of our support, I
know Tamara will make a great

president.

We want Tamara!

We want Tamara!

We want Tamara!

We want Tamara!

Talk about a feel -good moment. I am
down with it.

I must say one thing, Mr. Matushka. No.

Okay.

Mr. Matushka, I'm withdrawing my
resignation.

Go, baby.

I could have never done this without
you.

Oh, yes, you could have.

Not!

I did one thing to Mara. She promised me
she'd take out the trash.

Well, she promised me she was going to
clean up her side of the room.

And she promised me she'd help me down
at the mall.

Tamara, you made all these promises to
help around here, but you haven't done

anything. Hey, I'm a politician. That's
what we do.

You're grounded.

Why?

I'm a father. That's what we do.
