Everybody knows Hakeem is my homie, my ace, my running butt.

I've shared more meals with him than I have with my own brother.

See, we're counting each other to stay up on what's happening.

And if I need a friend to talk to, I can always look to Hakeem.

Rain or shine, up or down, through good times and bad, he's been there for me.

That is until lately.

I don't think it was anything I said or did, but who knows?

I sure don't. I just wish you'd come back.

And I miss my homie.

It's me.

My best friend's always on my mind.

You're gonna be there for me.

I gotta do what I gotta do.

I gotta move on.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

J .W., I really appreciate your coming over to pick up my car. You have saved

a trip. Anything for you, Lady D, because you live with the man who works

the man who is the man.

Just give me the keys. I'm in the breeze.

Hey, J .W., what's happening? Hey, what's up, friend?

My man.

All right. Hey, listen, man, thanks for taking in D's car for a tune -up. Hey,

you the man who works for the man who puts the check in my hand, which makes

my man.

Here's the key. Would you like to join us for breakfast?

I already did. I had one of them sausages when you turned your back.

Hey, I got to get out of here. See y 'all. All right, man. See you at work,

Nice guy.

Is he single?

Let it go, dear.

Frank, I just like to see people find happiness.

See, that's just like a woman.

Y 'all see a single guy walking around, laughing, smiling, making some money,

and somehow you figure he's not happy.

What is it with you people?

You know, he'd be perfect for Alice, but she's still on the rebound.

Mm -hmm. Oh, there is Susie Johnson.

Now he done make enough money for her. Morning, y 'all. Morning, honey.

Hey, baby.

What, you looking for somebody, pumpkin? Yeah, Hakeem. He hasn't been here to

eat in a week.

Am I the only one concerned?

Yes.

Y 'all ain't right.

Where could he be?

And Dale. No, Hakeem doesn't believe in eating healthy in the morning or any

other time for that matter.

No, no, no. And Dale would be perfect for J .W. Right, Mo?

Don't look at me. I try not to think of people that old in that way.

Morning, Cunningham. Hey, man, what's happening? Hakeem, where have you been?

I've been looking all over for you.

Mo, Mo, family.

I'd like to introduce somebody to you. Geneva.

Geneva, this is my family. How you doing, Geneva?

Hi.

Oh, Hakeem, I love your home.

It's just the way you described it. Yeah, told you we had bank.

But you know what?

I have to disagree with you.

You look like your mother, not your father. You have her beautiful smile.

thank you very much, but I'm not Hakeem's mother. And I'm not his daddy.

um, this isn't his house. You've been hoodwinked.

This is just my play family.

Oh, I'm sorry. I just assumed that... Oh, that's all right. His mother makes

same mistake.

Hakeem, why don't you two join us for breakfast?

Shoot, that's why we're here.

Allow me, baby.

They

make a

nice couple, don't they, Mo?

Yeah, yeah. All this love is great. But, Hakeem, let's go, babe. It's time for

school. Oh, you go on ahead.

I'm free till second period.

You just sit here and look free.

Well,

you know, I'm going to get out of here before he starts flossing the teeth.

Oh, oh, hey, hey, Mom, come here. I need to talk to you.

Do you know this J .W. guy that Dee's trying to hook me up with? Is he cute?

Uh, he has a job.

Oh, he fine then.

Okay, sure.

Okay, Kim, now prepare your stuff, all right? Because Mo got some shocking news

for you. What?

Kim, I'm going to need you to be strong, okay?

Hold my hand. Niecy, get some rope to tie Kim to her chair.

What's wrong with you, Mo? You're scaring me.

Look, there's no easy way to say this.

So I'll just say it. Girl, Hakeem got a girlfriend.

Of course he does. Me.

No, sweetie, sweetie, you not listening, okay?

Hakeem has a girlfriend he actually likes.

Her name is Geneva. She goes to Hamilton.

Kim, it's all right, girl. You know, let it out.

Yeah, you know, get mad because, you know, if you won't, we can go crank up

Betsy right now and pay Miss Fang a visit. You know, we here for you.

See, Mo, a man is like a bus. You ride him to the end of the line and then you

get your transfer.

Hey, what's up, y 'all? I'd like to introduce somebody to y 'all that's very

special to me. Geneva.

You already met Mo, don't you?

And this is Niecy. Hi.

And Kim.

Ooh, I love your necklace.

Thank you. This is my Kimmy's favorite.

He says it goes in my eyes.

Yeah. Let's go get a table, Geneva. I've shared you enough today.

Okay, bye. Nice meeting you guys.

Bye. Bye -bye.

You know, Kim, I really have to give you credit.

Yeah, you were very mature.

Civilized, calm, everything.

Well, you know you've got to keep your wits about you when you're plotting a

murder.

Does this go good with my eyes?

She's scurrying me.

All right, I'll get it back.

AJW. What's happening, friend?

You're looking good, man. D.

And you must be Annabelle.

Close, that's end deal.

Oh. Oh, my bad, Mama.

Javon Aramis Willis.

Javon Aramis?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Miles was a cologne freak.

Please call me J .W.

So I understand you're a businesswoman?

Yeah, I have a little coffee. Fine as you are.

Girl, you need to be at home raising a couple crumb snatches, you know what I'm

saying?

No, I ain't heard a word you said since you called me Annabelle. No, no, no,

that's Annabelle. Now you called me that one more time. Well, maybe we ought to

be going.

Miles? Moesha, come on. We're getting ready to leave now.

Down the stairs.

All right. Now, I want you two to listen to Mo and behave yourselves.

Don't worry. We'll be good.

All right. Chucky?

Yeah, we'll cut her some slack if she knows how to act.

Okay. Have a good time, okay? And I won't hurt him unless I have to. You

to. Okay.

Now, listen up, Heckle and Jekyll.

These are the rules.

Stay out of my way and live to see the fifth grade, okay?

Mom! What?

Mom!

Mom, will you stop?

Mom,

we have got to talk about this Hakeem situation.

Well, first, Kim, we got to talk about the ninja situation.

Kim, you're cool. You're a ninja.

She's not a real ninja.

What?

sitting in everything, but I will go rumble and lemur on those two little

stooges. Kim, be my guest. I got my money up front. You know, I'm already

What you up to, girl?

Miss Janee, but it's two -time in high -kings. We gotta break them up. Man, we

gotta mind our own business.

What if I got bitch? Ooh, let me see.

Kim, so what? She's standing next to a guy. They're probably just friends.

Boo -yeah!

Now, how much tongue does a guy have to stick down your throat before he's more

than just a friend?

Poor Hakeem. Kim, we gotta do something.

Right, we gotta bring this skeezer down.

Now, when you tell Hakeem about Geneva, it's probably gonna break his heart.

Uh, ease on back, Kim. I'm not telling Hakeem anything.

He's gotta find out about Geneva on his own.

What's boyfriend number?

Ooh, I don't have that, but... As my Kimmy would say, boom!

I got the last two yearbooks from Hamilton High.

Oh, you're really serious about this, aren't you, Kim? For sure. I'm talking

about the love of my life. The only man I will ever love. Dang, Hamilton got

some cuties.

Bingo. I found it. That quick?

Yeah, girl. He's only on every other page. Let's see.

Basketball captain, football captain, baseball captain.

Oh, editor of the newspaper, yearbook, and he's class president.

Dang, I'm in love.

Good, then you be the one that calls him.

Okay.

Let's see, let's see.

Whitson, W -W, Whitson, Whitson.

Homie listed. Let's go.

Look at that old girl. You know it.

What's wrong with you?

This is to save my man. Dang, I'm going to do it myself.

Hey, lover.

Oh, you in?

Yes.

Somebody want to talk to you? No, you talk.

No, no, no. Okay.

Uh, yeah, listen up, love man.

Someone you love is in love with someone you don't love.

So if you want to break up this love connection, be at the den tomorrow

afternoon around 3.

Peace and love.

You did good, girl. You got all creative at the last minute.

I hope I keep appreciating all this stuff we're doing for him. For sure.

you got something to eat.

Good

morning.

Breakfast is ready.

What is wrong with those two?

Oh, they were up all night on a battle alert.

Battle alert?

Yeah, watch this.

Man, man, man, I love this job. Can I babysit again next week?

I don't think so, baby, because we ain't going out again ever.

Oh, so I take it your double date thing didn't go too well, did it? Oh, no, it

went fine, if you like a whole lot of hollering, fussing, and cussing.

You know, I just never think two people so compatible not get along like that.

The apology just admits you made a mistake.

Miss, I ain't got enough business of my own.

Hey, everybody.

Hey, Jerry. Hey, man, what's happening?

Brought your car back, D. Good as new. Thank you, J .W.

No, I should be thanking you for hooking me up with Aunt Dale. She all that and

a bowl of filet gumbo.

Really? Yeah. Well, Frank here seemed to think that you two didn't get along.

Please. The only thing that turns me on more than a woman with a rag on her head

is a feisty woman with a rag on her head.

She scores so high on my let's get it on index, we hooking up again tonight.

Hey. Since y 'all the ones who brought a little sunshine into my life, we can

make it a fourth.

Do you play bridge? We sure do. Oh, no, no, no, we don't. As a matter of fact,

we're more the bid -wish type.

Cool, we are, too.

I only said bridge to impress you.

So instead of bid -wish tonight, you don't mind if we play here, do you?

certainly don't. How about 8 o 'clock?

Let's make it 7 .30 so you can fix us a little din -din.

Hey, Osmond.

More, more, more, more. Check it, check it, check it. I bought Geneva a little

love token. I want you to tell me what you think. All right? All right? Boom!

Yeah! This ain't just any zirconia, either. This one's a cubic.

Slow down, young buck.

You start sprinkling gifts on a girly too soon, she'll think you a punk.

And once she thinks she can punk you, she'll drop you quicker than Lisa Marie

dropped Michael.

That's just the way women are, you know?

And just how long have you been a woman, J .W.? Oh, come on, J .W., because she

about to go island on you, buddy. Hey, man, don't let that girl clunk you, boy.

Argue with her. They like that.

So, so, you really think I should wait, Moe?

Yeah.

About how long?

Oh, I don't know, Hakeem. A day should do it.

Hey, what's up, crazy, sexy?

Kim? What's up?

Yeah, yeah, what's up?

Yo, Wood, Wood, Wood.

Excuse me, do I know you?

No, no, but I know you.

Dante Woodson, all -city linebacker, pitcher and forward.

Predicted to be the first triple sport pro athlete.

So, uh, what team's gonna offer you the most money? Raiders or the Dodgers?

Well, UNLV has a top offer so far.

Oh, excuse me. Let me introduce you. I'm Hakeem Campbell.

And ladies, this is... We know.

Oh. So, uh, what brings you to this side of town, bro?

Well, actually, I'm looking for my woman. Well, you know what they say.

Wait a second.

Don't I know you from somewhere?

No. Nah, you don't know me.

Can I say?

Yeah, it's me.

Surprise? What are you doing here?

Maybe I should be asking you that question.

You two know each other or something?

Of course you do. You both go to Hamilton.

Hamilton, yeah, right.

Get your stuff. Come on, let's go.

Excuse me?

You don't own me, okay?

Yes, I do.

And who's the dead man you've been creeping around with?

Dante, we quit it. I told you yesterday was over.

So it's like that?

That's cool.

I'm all right.

Don't call me after the drafts.

Nice meeting you, bro.

Yeah.

So all this time we've been seeing each other, you were seeing him too?

Hakeem, I told you.

That's all that matters.

What were you going to tell me about?

There was nothing to tell. Oh, the one thing popping to mind, I have a

boyfriend. Look, Hakeem, it's over.

Let's just move ahead.

Yeah, I'm moving, all right?

I'm moving on.

So, I guess I better leave, huh?

Is that what you want?

Yeah, there's the door.

I'm leaving.

Yeah, you know the way.

He opened up to me.

Kim, Kim, Kim, we did a bad thing.

What? We hurt Hakeem.

No, she hurt Hakeem. We just made sure he felt it.

I don't feel so good. I'm going home.

But no.

Come on, baby. Come on now. Come

on, D.

Hit him, D.

Boy, got me on that. You ain't saying nothing. That's right.

Pay attention, Annabella. You just trumped my age.

Oh, wait, wait. Hold up, Joe Bond, Airman, High Karate, whatever your mama

you.

You ain't playing worth nothing. No hat. Ah.

Well, maybe if you pay attention to the signals, you would know.

Signals? What are you talking about, man?

I knew that when he did that thing, that was hard. Hey, hey, hey, everybody.

Hey, man, what's going on?

Where's Moe? I'll get her. Uh -uh, uh -uh. You're not going nowhere, Cupid.

She's in the living room, man.

You don't be flashing no signals, do you?

What's up, Moe? What's so important?

Geneva.

Hi, Hakeem.

Moe, what is this all about?

Hakeem, it's about choices.

You can sit down. You can work through your problems. Why would you trump my

trump?

Are you drunk?

D is crazy for trying to put you two together.

Or you can act like adults.

It's up to you.

Look, I'm sorry about Dante.

I should have told you.

I missed you.

Yeah, I missed you too.

Kim is mad at me for getting Hakeem and Geneva back together, but I knew it was

the right thing to do.

I guess I got into this whole thing because I was afraid if Hakeem had a

girlfriend, he wouldn't have time for me anymore.

And I should have known better. Now that Hakeem and Geneva are all hooked up, I

see him even more.

After all, someone's got to explain women to him.
