All language subtitles for Sister Sister s05e04 Show Me the Money

I hold in my hand my first step toward
greatness.

As a Pulitzer -bound reporter poised for
stardom, I plan to remain humble. Now,

all my friends can say they knew me
when... when I couldn't even spell my

name.

Tamira, guess what?

You know all the extra time I've been
spending down at Bookum Joe?

Well, it's finally paid off.

That cute Tyreek showed up and asked you
out? Only in my dreams.

But you know how I redid the window
display?

Well? It worked!

Somebody bought a book?

I got a raise!

We got a raise! We got a raise!

You got a raise! You got a raise!

Look, I love this job!

Obviously, dedication, skill, and...
creative advertising are appreciated in

Everybody sees how different we have
come to be.

Step, step, step, step.

Even though I'm glad to be with you, I
thought I'd feel as real to me like you

got to do what's right for you.

Since you didn't buy the three magazines
you read at the rack.

Hey, what's up, Beth?

What can I get for you?

I don't know.

Well, how about a strawberry banana
smoothie?

Bananas give me hives.

Okay, well, how about an iced
cappuccino?

Caffeine makes me nervous.

Okay, well, how about a nice glass of
water?

It's a tap.

Take 15, Tia.

I meant minutes.

Go, go, go, go.

Actually, Clark, I need to talk to you.

Well, go ahead. Spill it.

Which is a phrase I don't normally use
around here.

Come on, Tia.

What's on your mind?

Do you think we can have this
conversation without your little

All right. If that's the way you want to
spend your 13.

Yesterday, I accidentally got Marshall's
paycheck.

And I couldn't help noticing that he's
making more money than I do.

Now, tell me, Tia.

Didn't you and I agree on a salary when
I hired you?

Yes. And is that the salary you
received?

Yes.

And were you not happy to receive said
salary until you saw Marshall Franklin's

check?

Yes.

Duh. Then just act like you didn't see
it.

I don't think that it's fair.

Well, I hear they're real fair over at
The Gap.

Clark, I didn't say I wanted to quit.

I really love this job.

Good. Now take your 1142 and get back to
work.

Hey, Tia.

Why don't you hook a brother up with a
little snacky snack?

I don't think so, Roger. Besides, I'm on
my break.

Oh, so it's like that. Just gonna kick
me to the curb.

My bookkeeper took a leave of absence,
so I'm stuck with double duty.

Need some help?

Oh, that's very sweet of you, honey. But
I won't do that to you. I'll just

suffer alone.

I wish you felt that way when we were
cleaning out the garage.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, Ray. Hey, Tamara.

Ooh, Lisa, you are wearing that suit.

Ain't I, though?

Well, you do look good. How come you
never dressed like that when we were

dating? Ray, I wore this on our very
first date.

Really? I don't remember.

That is why we are no longer dating.

Where are you off to?

Well, Maddie's car is in the shop, so
I'm going to pick her up at the

chiropractor.

Dressed like that?

A woman should always look her best when
she's leaving the house.

Especially when going to the office of a
very single, very handsome

chiropractor.

I think I may need an alignment.

I'm picking up Maddie. Well, there must
be a fine man between here and Maddie

because you are working that suit.

I'd never argue with a woman who knows
what she's talking about.

Hi, Tamara.

Hi. I came to pick up your dad. We have
a dinner date.

You do?

Mm -hmm. Oh, I'm sorry.

I don't think he can come out and play
tonight.

He's got homework.

Oh.

Work, work, work.

Tell me about it.

Hey, your dad showed me your last
newspaper article.

Have you thought about a career in
journalism?

Well, actually, I have. I thought about
going to Northwestern. You know, I think

they have this really... Hey, sweetie!

Wait a minute.

Dinner?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I just swamped with work here. So I
heard.

Poor boo.

How can I help?

You can't. He wants to suffer alone.

No, I'm sure you can help.

You know anything about bookkeeping? You
didn't know I was a CPA.

I worked for an accounting firm back in
Chicago.

I thought you were with market research.

Oh, that was after.

Now, let me take a look at this ledger.
And you, go order some Chinese.

I'm in the mood for Mugu Gai Pan.

I tried to be nice. I made the effort,

and what did she do? She cuts me off in
the middle of a sentence like I don't

even exist.

Tamara, I think you're upset.

What's wrong?

What do you mean, what's wrong?

You're the one that's racing back and
forth, bugging about Vivica.

You're polishing your toenails.

Every time you have a major problem, out
come the toe separators.

Oh, please, whatever.

Tia, this is me.

I've seen you go through six bottles of
ruby red when you broke up with Byron.

Okay, okay, okay, so I'm a little
preoccupied.

Tia?

This must be big.

What's going on? Give me the 411.

I found out that Marshall didn't get a
raise.

Clark's just paying him more than me.

Wait a minute.

Didn't you guys start together?

Yeah. And do the same job?

I hope you said that Mr.

Delicious Smoothie straight.

Oh, stop the madness!

You did set Clark straight, didn't you?
Tamira, I really love this job, but I am

not going to risk getting fired over a
few bucks.

I can't believe it's coming out of your
mouth. You know that's not fair.

Well, guess what, Tamira? Life isn't
fair.

I know that's just the nail polish
talking.

Tia, it's your long -suffering mother
looking for her favorite blue scarf.

Blue scarf?

ask permission to borrow it so I can
possibly have it.

Uh -huh.

Just like you didn't have my mood
bracelet last week.

Every time somebody asked me how I was
doing, all I could do was shrug.

Well, I'll just look for it after my
toes dry.

Oh, Lord.

What's wrong?

Can't a person polish her nails without
there being a crisis?

Well, a person could, but not you.

When you broke up with that Byron boy,
you used so much nail polish, we had to

use paint thinner to take it off.

What's up?

If I tell you, Mom, will you promise not
to get all upset and take over?

Tia, now, you know me.

I know.

Promise.

Okay, okay.

I thought I got a raise at work, but I
didn't.

End of story.

That's a chapter one.

Lisa, Tia also found out that Clark is
paying a boy more money than she gets.

We can't let that knucklehead get away
with this. Where am I going?

Mom, you promised.

That was before I knew.

But I don't know why you guys are acting
like this is some huge deal. Because

standing up for yourself is a huge deal,
Tia. But I did stand up for myself.

It came down to my principles or my job.

Oh, well, then I see. So, well, what did
you decide?

I decided it wasn't worth the fight,
Mom.

You guys, it's just a little after
-school gig.

Yes, and it was a little after -work bus
ride that started the civil rights

movement when one woman refused to give
up her seat.

But, Mom, I don't want to start a
movement.

I just want to make smoothies.

I know, baby.

I know.

I also know where I can find my very,
very wrinkled blue scarf.

Mom, I can't explain.

You make up a better lie, don't you?
Girl, you better go get designed.

Go on.

Yes, ma 'am.

And while you're down there, you can
tackle my three linen suits.

I like my tux nice and sharp.

It's not like to you to act like this.

No, but sometimes, baby, you know, it's
easier to stand up for somebody else

than it is for your own self.

I know what you mean.

So, what do you say we go down there and
kick Clark's butt?

What did you do, hit the mute button
while I was talking?

We can't fight Tia's battles for her.

Oh, come on. Now, Tamara, I know you
love her, but it's Tia's job, it's Tia's

decision.

You're not Tia.

No.

But I could be.

You're five minutes late. Sorry.

An employee can't clock out until you
clock in.

Hi, Clark.

Tia.

You're an hour early.

You can't clock in until an employee
clocks out.

Why can't you people get with the clock?

I'm early because I need to talk to you
about my paycheck.

What about it?

I want a raise.

And I want to captain the Starship
Enterprise.

I'm serious, Clark.

So am I.

Beam me up.

Scotty.

Listen, Clark, it isn't fair that
Marshall makes more money than I do.

Didn't anyone ever tell you life isn't
fair?

Well, you better recognize who you're
talking to.

Sort of.

What I recognize is an employee with a
serious attitude problem.

Change my salary, I'll change my
attitude.

You're right.

Change is good. I think I will change
your salary.

Starting today, you're fired.

I'm fired?

Whoa, that is a good one.

Stop it, you're killing me.

I'm glad you find unemployment so funny.

You actually thought I was Tia.

What? I'm not Tia.

I'm her twin sister, Tamara.

Oh, I get it. Twin humor.

Very funny.

You think so, Clark?

Clark? I'm not Clark.

I'm his twin brother, Mark.

You on your break?

Hey, Roger.

It's me, Tamera.

Man, you got a job at Booking Joe, too?

Dang, everybody's getting paid but me.

Hey, Roger. What's up, Tamera?

Hey, Diabian.

Hey, how'd you know she was Tamera?

Because I know my girl.

She's sitting here in Tia's uniform with
Tia's name tag.

Now, she's obviously gone and done
something stupid.

I just pretended to be... and got her
fired.

That would be the stupid part.

You know, Samaria, your sister really
loves that job.

What am I gonna do when she shows up for
work?

Be killed.

Guys, come on. The movie starts in three
minutes.

I'm not going, guys.

I'm in the middle of a crisis.

Girlfriend just got Tia fired.

Ooh, for real?

Well, I don't know about you guys, but
as far as I'm concerned, if Tia isn't

working in here anymore, Clark can kiss
my Mr. Pibb goodbye.

It's not like there's any cute guys who
work there anyway.

Wait!

That's it.

What's it?

The way we can get Tia's job back.

We have to show Clark how much business
he'll lose without her.

Hold up.

What's this we?

We? Us?

Me and you and my dearest friends in the
whole...

Maddie does nice beating, doesn't she?

I can feel my prices going up.

You off to work already?

Yep.

I'm going in early to talk to Clark.

You are?

You know, I thought a lot about what you
said, Mom, and I decided that it's time

that I sat in the front of the bus.

That's my baby.

To be honest, I'm starting to feel a
little carsick.

Wish me luck.

Honey, you don't need luck. You got
brains and courage.

Plus, that clock is a straight -up fool.

Bye, Mom.

Oh, bye.

Oh, shoot, I didn't do anything except
raise one terrific daughter.

Ray, come on now. We're never going to
finish if you don't stop.

Well, you can see I'm very generous with
my overtime.

Talk about your job, Percy.

Oh, uh, hi, Lisa. We were, uh, just,
um... Busted.

Actually, we were just gathering these
invoices to take back to the office.

Well, no need to gather on my account. I
got work to do out in my studio.

You got the whole place to yourself, so
go ahead and romp. Be merry.

No, really.

I need to go over Ray's profit loss
report for the last quarter.

Uh, right. We can get more work done at
the office.

Oh, you need a bigger table?

No, really, we have a lot of work to get
done. I'm sure you do.

Always nice to see you, Lisa.

Isn't it?

Don't be a stranger.

Toodle -oo.

Now,

there's a first. A woman more interested
in business than pleasure.

Well, it is Ray.

Hello.

Are we going to get some service over
here or what?

Tia was here. We never had to wait.

Okay, fine.

What do you want?

Tia, back on the job.

Ew, that's just nasty.

Taste it. Taste it. I'm not tasting that
mess.

Will you two hold it down?

These smoothies are gagorific.

My sister made them way better than
this. Well, your sister doesn't work

anymore. Then we won't be coming here
anymore until Tia is back.

And what's up with the book section? I
can't find anything over here.

You must be looking for the free books.

Why don't you try the library?

You need to get Tia back up in here.

Just tell me what you want. Tell me what
you want. I told you what I want. Tia.

Tia!

I'll give you and the rest of the
Rainbow Coalition to the count of three

out of here.

One, two... Okay, okay.

I see where you're going with this.

Three, right?

We out of here.

A little too much espresso. Makes them
crazy.

Tia. Uh, you're early.

Great.

Uh, let's go shopping.

At another mall. Wait, wait, Tamara.

I don't have time.

Time? What is time?

Revolutions around the sun.

Hands on a clock.

Santa hourglass.

Tamera, what is up with you?

Go ahead, Tamera.

Tell her what's up. No, tell me later,
you guys. I've really got work to do.

That's what she thinks.

But, Tia.

Clark, I need to talk to you.

Don't tell me. You're Tia, right?

Of course I'm Tia, and you're Clark.

Now that we all know who we are, there's
something I need to say.

Well... I'm a little busy.

Oh, it won't take long.

Clark, I like working here.

And I do a really good job at it.

I deserve to make the same amount of
money as the male employees make. And so

the rest of the female employees.

What's next? A chorus of I'm Every
Woman?

You're going down.

I can't look.

Girl, you better look so you know when
to bob and weave.

You don't get it, do you?

What you're doing is morally wrong.

How will I ever sleep tonight? I know,
like this.

And more importantly, it's illegal.

Did you hear that?

Illegal activity going down.

Illegal? You know, men and women who do
the same job should get the same pay.

It's the law.

Women up in here want to get paid.

Yeah, she's right.

Equal pay.

You're starting to disturb the
customers.

I'm not disturbed.

Let the little lady talk.

Yeah. Yeah, we want to hear.

You tell him, girlfriend.

Testify.

Are you almost done?

Clark, I won't be done until you change
your sexist policies.

If I have to, I will stand outside this
store and tell every customer who comes

in here that you are an illegal...

thought, and effective immediately, Tia
and all the other female employees are

going to get a raise. Okay? See what a
nice guy I am? Give it up for me, huh?

Go, Tia!

Go, Tia!

Go, Tia! Go, Tia!

I'm so proud of the way you stood up for
me, though.

Thanks, Tia.

Well, I guess this is a lucky day for
both of you guys.

What is he talking about?

Girl, you know Roger Crizy.

Excuse me.

You got your job back.

Can you get to work, please?

Thank you.

Now, what's he talking about?

Girl, you know Clark crazy.

Now, um, you better get back to work
before you get fired.

Even fair.

I know that it's just toenails.
