All language subtitles for Moesha s02e24 Prom Fright

When Robert Frost rhapsodized about
choosing the road less traveled, he

have hardly envisioned the speed trap
that had become my life.

Q says he'll do anything for us to be
together.

My daddy says he'll do anything to keep
Q and me apart.

Thus the new and improved punishment for
sneaking out, I can only leave the

house to go to school, church, and to
pass out flags at my daddy's dealership.

With both Q and Daddy in my ear, it's
like having two backseat drivers.

And I must have missed the danger men
tripping a head sign.

back a chew, the back a spit. If I
wouldn't have pledged Kappa, I wouldn't

pledged us.

And the hog, the man women love to dog.

Did nobody dog me? Big brother Afro
pick.

It's the Smurler's holler.

Give him another lick.

Oh, it sure is good to see you, Newt.
You too, man. My man, baby.

Look at you.

Moesha.

Dave Norris, my frat brother from
Southern. Hey, Moesha.

Girl, you're even prettier than those
pictures in your father's wallet. Oh,

thank you.

Daddy, I thought you weren't coming home
till later tonight. Well, I'm sure you

did, baby, but it's not your job to know
my schedule. It's my job to know yours.

All right.

Now, where have you been?

The library. I had to check out a book.
Mm -mm. Show me a date stamp.

Danny. Mo.

All right, then.

I'm telling you.

My brother, my brother.

Why so hard on the girl?

Oh, shoot, man. If you were raising a
girl in a woman's body, you'd

I spent half my time chasing away these
knuckleheads.

You got to be easy. You raise the
knuckleheads.

No, please.

When boys, you have to ride their backs
and then worry about the big

heartbreaker. Oh, I know drugs and
gangs.

Worse, your oldest son telling you he
doesn't want to be a Kappa man.

I'm so sorry, man.

Wait a minute. Don't tell me he wants to
pledge Omega.

Aw, man, I didn't raise no dogs. All
right, yeah.

Man, I just don't understand the boy. He
doesn't eat meat. He doesn't like

sports. He doesn't even want to go to
his own prom.

You know, I just want the boy to have
some fun before he leaves to go to

Harvard. Harvard?

Yeah. Shoot, that sounds like the kind
of boy my daughter needs to be, Dave.

Hey, wait a minute.

You think your boy wouldn't invite Moe
to his prom?

I don't know. It's kind of short notice.

It's Saturday.

You think she'd be interested? Oh, I'll
tell her she's interested.

You think your boy would be interested?
Oh, I'll tell him he's interested. Well,

then it's settled.

Man, I better get up out of here before
my wife realizes the conclave was only

two days.

Coming on out, man. All right, Newt. All
right, baby. Yeah, baby.

Kappa!

Step!

I'm pretty on the left. I'm pretty on
the right.

I'm so, so pretty, I can't sleep at
night. I'm pretty on the left. I'm

the right. I'm so, so pretty, I can't
sleep at night. Got my pretty on the

I'm pretty on the right. I'm so, so
pretty, I can't sleep at night. Right.

Man, you better quit before you need
that cane.

How you doing, baby?

Oh, Dee, you'll never guess who I ran
into in Las Vegas.

Latoya.

Charles. Oh, Elvis.

No, no, no, no, no.

Dave Norris, my old college roommate.

It turns out he's been living in Los
Angeles for three years, Dee. And guess

what else? He taught you that silly
step.

No. Dave's son is going to take Mo to
his prom.

Dave and I just set it up.

And Moesha went for it?

Maybe Moesha doesn't even know about it
yet.

Oh, what doesn't Moesha know?

Go ahead, Frank. Tell her the good news.

Pumpkin, I got you a date with Frazier
Norris, a Harvard -bound son of a

He's taking you to his prom next
Saturday.

Well, too bad I'm on punishment forever.

Uh -uh, no, you're not, baby.

Because I'm giving you a prom date
furlough.

Frank, you can't manipulate Moesha like
that.

Yeah, yeah, you're right, baby. I need
to sweeten the pot. I'll throw in a

dress. Hello.

I'm still here.

Just like I will be. It's on Saturday.
I'm not going down there. Oh, no, no,

no, no. Moe, Moe, Moe, Moe. Did I say
furlough? A total pardon.

Moe, if you do this, you're off
punishment.

So let me get this straight, Governor
Mitchell.

If I go, I have a clean record?

Squeaky. And the shackles come off now?

Absolutely. All right, I'll see y 'all
two later.

Where are you going?

Not to the library.

How did you do it this time?

I promised to go to prom with my dad's
friend's son.

Dang, not only did you get off
punishment, but you got a date, too?

A little cue's coming. All right,
everybody left, especially you. Girl,

saying nothing. My mind is a blank.

So, Shirley, you out on bail?

Oh, is that your way of saying that you
miss me? No, this is.

Me and you at the rap jam next Saturday.

Well, your player thought you said you
was taking me.

My baby's back now.

You're out.

All of Q, man. You can't just ask your
brother out and then dump him.

Uh, do y 'all need a moment alone?

Yeah. No.

Look, baby, it's all right. Maybe you
should take our king because we still

can't be singing together.

They ain't never stopped us before.

Q, I can't go to the concert with you on
Saturday because I just got off

punishment. Maybe we should wait a few
days. Say, until, like, Sunday.

Say, your pops, you going to Kim's?

Uh, no. We fumigate on Saturday.

Me too.

Uh -uh.

Grandma's wrestling that night.

I can't take this. We need to talk to
your pops.

Been there, done that. He's not trying
to hear about us.

I can't believe you're letting your pops
control you like this.

Oh, like you're trying to do right now?

All right, Sunday.

Can I hold my chicken now, then?

What were you guys up there creating?

Prom date of Frankenstein.

Frank, a woman has to make an entrance.

And that's her cue.

Better not be.

Mr.

Mitchell? Yes?

Frazier Norris.

You going to invite him in, Frank? Yes,
of course.

Come on in, Frazier.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Frazier, this is my wife, Dee, and my
son, Miles.

Nice to meet all of you.

What's with the funny -looking ear?

Hey, man, what's with the funny -looking
ears?

Now, remember, you started it, Miles.

Yeah, I'm sure his funny -looking gear
is quite fashionable.

Well, I hope not. I try very hard not to
be a slave to fashion.

Are you a free man tonight?

Uh, have a seat, son.

So, uh, Frazier, there's this nasty
little rumor going around that you don't

want to be a Kappa man.

You see, I'm not interested in
perpetuating a tradition that encourages

men to think like a herd.

Well, Kappa's not for everybody, is it?

Oh.

Frazier?

Hi, Marisha.

Daddy, should I go change? No, no, no,
no, you look great.

Uh, look.

My mom told me I should get you a
corsage.

Thank you.

What exactly is it?

It's crepe paper.

I don't believe in killing flowers.

So you murdered a tree.

Well, come on, Dee. Let's take a
picture. Of what?

The happy couple.

Oh.

All right, then.

Uh, Frazier, why don't you stand up
there right next to, uh, Moesha?

Okay. Here you go. A little bit closer
now.

Smile now.

Well, we should get going.

Oh, the limo must be behind the taxi.

No.

Um, that's all right. Just think of it
as a, uh, limo with a meter.

I thought you said his daddy had loose.
Uh, you have a good time, baby.

Bye -bye.

Well, uh, don't they make a lovely
couple?

Mo looked lovely.

Yeah, my homeboy looks like a bum.

No, no, I'll get it, son.

Yeah. Hello, Mr. Mitchell.

Hey, Q, what's the steal up? Miles.

I'll handle this, son.

What do you want?

Mr. Mitchell, I'm here to talk to you
about me and Moesha.

Quentin, there is no you and Moesha.

That's why I'm here, to see if you can
try to do this again. Yeah, well, try

this. Leave.

I can't do that.

Not till I understand why you have a
beef with me. Ron, I don't have a beef

you.

Look, I know the dinner didn't quite
work. Mm -hmm, it was a disaster.

I'm sorry about the Bombay incident. Oh,
yeah, the riot? A bigger disaster.

And the only reason I went to Moe's
bedroom was... I think it's time for you

leave, son.

Mr. Mitchell, I really care about your
daughter.

I'm trying to come to you correct.

Yeah, well, you should have done that
before you chased her behind my back.

Come on, Mr. Mitchell, can you at least
get Mo so we can talk?

Quentin, Moesha is not here.

She went on a date.

So I guess we really don't have much to
talk about, do we?

Good night.

Hey,

little man, what you doing out here?

Sure, I'm going to help my brother out.

with your friends?

Sure. But they're all at the Sean and
Martha concert.

Oh, well, that sounds obscure.

You want to write on the memory wall?

Nah.

You want to dance?

Nah.

Don't you ever say anything other than
now?

Yep.

You know, a chance to have fun isn't
just going to hang around waiting for

to realize that it's arrived.

Look, I'm considered listening to some
corny lounge act playing 70s retread in

room full of overdressed teenagers.

Fun. And, uh, by the way, disco sucks.

Well, no wonder you couldn't get a date.
I didn't want one. Oh, well, then why

am I stuck here?

Because my dad begged me to take out his
frat brother's troubled daughter.

Excuse me?

I'm only here because my daddy said I
can get out punishment if I go out with

his frat brother to lose his life. Oh,
wait, wait, wait. Just because I'm a non

-conformist does not mean I'm a loser.

And just because I'm independent doesn't
mean I'm troubled. And I'm sure you

independently thought to wear all those
conforming designer labels.

And what's wrong with dressing up and
having a good time?

Because I can't. I just... Can't get
with people paying too much money for

clothes they would never dare be seen in
again when there are children starving

all over the world.

So if these people bought cheap clothes
and wore them every day, these kids

wouldn't be hungry.

No, I understand your point perfectly.

I mean, just because I enjoyed the food
of my daddy's labor doesn't mean I don't

know I'm blessed.

And I'm sure you're donating your twice
-worn Gucci's to the goodwill. It really

helps your fellow man.

And so does my volunteer work at the
library, mission, and senior citizen

center. And I can do all that wearing my
big star jeans, Mecca t -shirt, and

Kenneth Cole loafers.

Okay. I guess my commitment is more on a
global scale.

That's right. Saving the rainforest.

I haven't seen many of those in Ladera.
What about your own community?

The world is my community.

You always have to have the last word,
don't you?

Oh, I don't. There you go again.

Well, if we finally found something, you
have a compliment.

Oh, God.

Let's go.

Go? Kim, what are you doing here?

Look, I talked to your pops. Let's
bounce. Wait a minute, you did what?

Hi, I'm Frazier North.

Yeah, Frisbee, whatever.

Can we get some privacy?

Frazier, excuse us.

Are you trying to play me, shorty? Can
we talk about this later?

What's wrong, am I embarrassing you? No,
you're embarrassing yourself. This

crime is formal.

Well, you should tell your boyfriend
that.

Q, he is not my boyfriend. It's not even
what you think.

Oh, so you're not out with some buster
behind my back? No, and would you be

quiet? I'll explain everything later.
No, you'll explain everything now.

times do I have to tell you? I went out
with Frazier for us.

Well, let me let you know what I did for
us. I came over here tonight and punked

myself, begging your pops to let us be
together, and now I found out you lied

me. I didn't lie to you, Q. I told you.
I couldn't go to the concert on

Saturday. That was the truth. No, the
truth is, I'm not good enough for your

daddy. So you found somebody else he
could be down with. Is that what you

Well, that's what I know.

You know what, Q?

You tell me to sneak out, so I do.

My father tells me if I go out with
Frazier, I can get off punishment, so I

You pull one string, he pulls another
one.

You know what? I'm tired of this game.

I'm through being everybody's puppet.

So what are you saying?

I'm saying I don't want to do this
anymore.

How was your day, baby?

Well, I hope you're happy, Frank. Well,
how could I be, Dee? My baby girl is in

pain.

But it's over with Quentin.

You know, you're right.

Thanks for helping me to see the bright
side.

Maybe Q's always been a jealous,
suspicious, controlling moron.

And I was too much in love to see it.

Maybe he never liked me for me.

Maybe he just enjoyed making my daddy
trip.

Moesha, you have company.

Hi, Mo. What's up?

You, uh, forgot your, uh, thing.

Thank you.

No problem.

Can I talk to Frazier alone, please?

Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.

Miles. Frazier, I'm really sorry for
leaving out like that, but my

I mean, my ex -boyfriend... Ex?

Yeah.

I guess we broke up tonight.

Look.

As a troubled teen once told me,
opportunities don't wait for you to

they've arrived.

Moesha, can I take you out on a real
date?

Are you sure I won't embarrass you with
my designer labels?

We'll work on your look later.

First, we gonna work on yours.

What do you have in the way of lobster?

Bring me the biggest one. That's a
dinner duel.

Whoever orders the most food always
wants to split the check. That's better.

Tonight at 12 .30 Eastern on
Superstation WGN.
