Dating is a lot like chess.

There are predetermined strategies.

But the genius is in how each individual interprets and applies their knowledge

of the game.

it's me it's me

I let you in because you're a girl.

You're right, I am a girl.

A member of the superior sex, the backbone of civilization, the reason you

evicted from Eden.

And do you want some apple juice or what?

I'd prefer a frappuccino.

One chocolate milk coming right up.

What are you two in there arguing about?

Oh, you know, Mars and Venus stuff.

It's kind of feisty, but I like it.

Yeah, you'll grow out of it.

You didn't.

I want to take Lauren to the circus.

You think one of you guys can take us? Yeah, Dee'll take you. Thanks, Dee.

Hey, Lauren.

Uh -uh, Frank.

You're taking them. Uh -uh, baby, it's your turn.

Frank, honey, I took them to Georgia the Jungle.

Well, I'm the one who let him drag me to that Lakers -Bulls game.

And halfway across town to Tower Records so Shaq could autograph his CD.

And your basketball.

Well, as long as I was there.

Frank, honey, this isn't fair. You only take miles for the stuff that you like,

and then you just stick me with all the boring stuff.

What are you talking about boring? The circus is not boring.

It's full of thrills, full of fun. And you are full of it.

Frank. Well, how would you like to take miles? No.

Well, baby, you didn't hear what I was going to say.

But, Daddy, I heard you say miles.

Anyway, Jeremy's taking me to see Kenny Lattimore tonight at Club Unplugged.

Dinner and everything.

Oh, can I go?

Sure. If you take Miles to the circus.

Kenny's young, Daddy. He'll tour again.

You can go, Mo.

Be home by curfew.

I'm not taking them.

You're taking them. I ain't taking them.

Well,

I was going to take them back if you said no.

Promise me you won't lose your mind like you did at the Usher concert.

Well, I couldn't help it. He's so cute.

He all right.

Oh, hi. We have reservations.

Jeremy Davis.

Come on.

Whatever happened to service with a smile?

Try Denny's.

Excuse me, Miss Hostess. This is kind of crowded. Do you mind if we get another

table?

Do you see another table?

Hey, that'll do.

Don't think of it as crowded.

Think of it as messy.

So, how you doing, Quentin?

I'm all right, Marisha.

Oh, you're not... Moesha, oh, she is pretty.

You know, you read about these moments happening in essence, but you never

they're going to happen to you.

I mean, you're the ex -girlfriend, he's the ex -boyfriend, I'm the new

girlfriend.

And I see you landed on your feet, girl, check him out.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Moesha, this is Tammy.

Hey. Hi.

I love the outfit.

Where'd you get it?

BCBG. Oh, I shop there all the time, except I shop the outlets. I mean, I

care if a button is missing, but I just hate to pay regular price.

Okay.

Tammy, this is Jeremy.

Hi, Jeremy. How you doing?

You look like I already know you.

This is Quentin, an old friend from Crenshaw.

Call me Q.

Okay. Heard the accent. Where you from?

New York.

Me too.

Born in New Rochelle.

Ain't the same, son.

Yeah, you're right. He had trees.

We're going to need our own chips and salsa.

Oh, no, we can share.

Sharing is therapy for the soul.

I read that in a fortune cookie.

Or was it a tea bag? I don't know.

I'm so thirsty. I don't know why my mouth is so dry.

You know what I find that helps that?

Just let it rest for a few minutes.

I'm trying to, but not right now. I can't wait to break my skin. You can

me any day.

That is, if you're not rapping to me, QQ.

Are you okay?

Quick, put your hands above your head.

I'm fine. I just went down the wrong way.

Could you pass the chips, shorty?

Here you go, QQ.

Ladies and gentlemen, Club Unplugged proudly presents Mr. Kenny Latta.

We love you, Kenny.

I love you, too.

For you, I'd give a lifetime of stability.

The question is, what are you still seeing in him?

What are you talking about?

Only what I saw. You still like him.

Oh, you tripping, Q.

I'm sorry, Jeremy. It's just that we were talking about him and... Don't

Listen, I really care about you, but I think you need to figure out how you

about Q.

So what are you saying? You don't want to go out with me anymore?

Not until you get over your ex.

Look, Jeremy, I don't want to be with Q, and Q doesn't want to be with me.

Are you sure?

You call me when you figure it out.

Good night.

Can you believe Jeremy said I was still checking for Q?

No. Who does he think he is telling you the truth?

Mo, didn't we already read this chapter in your book?

Yeah, but I thought I had moved on.

Uh -huh, and so did Brenda. But you see, she brought her book right back to

Sonny.

Kim, that's a soap opera.

It's a metaphor, Mo.

So what's up with you and Mo?

Nothing.

Oh, man, please.

If you were any more whipped, I'd put you on top of some cocoa.

Q, you don't look too good. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Then buy something.

I have a hot cocoa with extra whipped cream, and he'll have the check.

Oh, dude, come on, man. Face it. You love sick.

How come you didn't hit me to this bus that she's been hanging with?

Oh, dude, you're gone.

I mean, Mo has you tripping so hard you forgot the number one rule in a player's

handbook, baby. Never sweat the competition.

What is she doing to my head?

Q, man, why don't you just ask her out?

Can't do that.

Okay, you stay miserable.

Well, I don't see the dilemma.

I mean, just pick Jeremy. He's a straight -A student and he's captain of

football team.

That's true.

But Q has his own chair at the barbershop.

He does, huh?

And his own clippers, too.

Well, Jeremy has a real future.

Yeah, he has been getting a lot of scholarship offers.

But Q's gonna blow up in the music scene.

Yeah, doing inventory of Sam Goody.

easy to remember and spell.

Well, Jeremy has been known to smile.

Q can kiss good.

Right, right?

What?

Isn't that what you said?

Guys, what am I gonna do?

Go with Q.

Jeremy... I don't know. I mean, Jeremy is so sensitive and charming, and he

always knows what to say.

And Q is just...

And who should I go out with?

Jeremy or Q?

Do what I do.

What, subtle for JW?

No. Listen to your heart and not your friends.

So, dog, what's up, man? You want me to ask y 'all for you?

Nah, son. I can handle my own affairs.

Okay.

But if it's eating you up inside, go ahead.

Repeat the same thing, you know. See what's up without giving me up.

Don't be obvious.

Kim.

Go get the 411 and don't be obvious.

Oh, then I better go.

No, no, no, no. I got this.

Movie? Dinner, tomorrow.

No, tonight. Where?

Unplugged. Bet.

Hey, Moesha.

Moesha?

Honey, are you okay?

Well, I can't eat and I can't sleep.

And I feel warm all over.

Well, either you got the flu or you're in love.

Well, is this the way you felt when you first met my daddy?

I'm not sure.

Because at that time, I did have the flu.

For real?

Moesha? The first time I saw your daddy, ooh, my heart just skipped a beat.

It still does.

Even when he rearranges your kitchen?

When he's too cheap to turn up the heat?

Or when he tries to sing along with Marvin Gaye?

Especially when he sings along with Marvin Gaye.

Well, that's the way I feel about you.

You?

I thought we were talking about Jeremy here.

No. See, I followed my heart and it led me to Q.

We're going out tonight.

Well, the heart has spoken.

You know what? Now that Daddy and Q are cool, I really want to be honest and

upfront with him.

Good. So I'm going to need you to tell him.

Moesha. Please, for love.

For love.

Thank you. Oh, you're welcome.

Okay, but tell him after I'm gone.

That was so much fun. Hey, baby.

Ah,

princess.

Got a little bit too close to those elephants, did you?

Mrs. Mitch, I had so much fun.

They had some big old elephants.

And they had a bunch of these clowns that kept coming out of this little

car. It must have been a hundred of them.

First time, huh?

Yeah, and it was worth the wait.

Thanks, Mr. Mitch.

You're welcome, Hakeem.

I'm glad you appreciated it.

Oh, well, I gotta go. Big Mama's waiting on these peanuts.

All right.

Hey, Lauren, you want some ice cream?

How about sorbet?

Well, how about you both wash up first?

Honey, that was so sweet of you taking Hakeem with you.

I don't mind taking Hakeem.

You buy him a balloon and a bag of peanuts, he's happy.

Yeah, but this Lauren, Dee, boy, she's high maintenance.

Talking about, where's the sushi?

Boy, Miles' next little girlfriend better have a dowry.

Well, that's what you get for telling me that George of the Jungle was

critically acclaimed.

You believe that?

Uh, Mrs. Mitchell, would you, for a chance, have any soap with moisturizer?

Your turn.

Well, Lauren, let's see what I've got upstairs.

I have your sorbet ready when you come back. Look, you're learning.

Hey, Dad, do you think you can take me and Lauren to see Rent?

She says I need culture.

Well, if Lauren thinks she's so grown, why doesn't she take you?

Because the guy's supposed to take the girl out.

Says who?

Lauren.

Well, sometimes the girl is supposed to pay.

Says who?

Me.

Dang.

Now that you're out of Moe's love life, you're into mine.

Now, Miles, let's get something straight. You don't have a love life.

And if you keep talking, you never will.

Point taken.

My boy.

That tickles. That's the love line.

Oh, well, there you are, Q.

That's the life line.

Oh, what line is that?

It's the party line.

Uh -huh.

Thanks.

You know what? I can't believe we're here.

Me either.

I mean, it's like I'm dreaming or something.

Ditto, shorty. All that.

Excuse me. Would you like to order dessert?

I seat people and I give out menus.

End of job description.

Uh -uh. You know what? She is tripping. Oh, where are you going?

I'm going to report her to the manager, Q.

Mo, let it go.

No, I can't. She was tripping like this last night.

We're having a nice time.

Forget about her.

I can't, Q. It's the principal.

Fine. Go ahead.

What?

Nothing. Go ahead.

Why do you always do that?

What?

That.

Why are you always worried about what someone else is doing?

Because it's irritating.

Speaking of Jeremy, when are you going to serve him his walking papers?

I'll handle that.

Yeah, I know, tonight.

You know what?

I'm sick of you always trying to tell me what to do. That's the reason why we

broke up in the first place. No, the reason we broke up is... Never mind.

No, what? Talk.

I don't feel like it.

Of course you don't, Q.

You want me to drag it out of you like I always do.

I don't feel like arguing.

You know what? You like to put things out there, but you don't like to deal

them.

Q, if you want this relationship to work, you have to participate in it.

I'm not trying to carry us this time.

You're just like a bunch of drama.

Why? Because I want to talk about it? No, because you want to have your cake

eat it, too.

Hello? That's what you do with cake. You eat it.

Well, we should.

This is a game to you?

Who's playing games?

You. If it's not me and your prom date, it's me and this fool Jeremy.

Or if it's not me and your pops.

Q. This is not about my daddy or anybody else. This is about me and you.

Yeah, you're right.

Can you please stop doing that?

You know what? That right there is a total disregard for my feelings. Your

feelings? What about mine?

You're the one who fell in a joint with Billy Bridgewood.

Well, in order to see me, you had to be all up in here with Tammy Talk Too Much.

Well, at least you're not dipping in everybody else's business. Well, at

Jeremy don't dress like he's looking for a war.

Good one, Shirley.

I know.

Felicia, I just want you to be happy.

And I want you to be happy, too.

I said it first. I said it last.

Truce?

Truce.

It was fun.

Yeah, let's do it again.

Bet, just not with each other.

Come on, let me get you home before midnight.

Why, are you afraid my little car is going to turn into a pumpkin?

There's already a limit.

At least I got the car.

You can't drive.

I can drive. I just need practice.

Jeremy was right.

I did need to sort out my feelings.

I mean, being with you again was like looking through an old photo album.

It reminds you of all the good times you've had, but...

Doesn't necessarily mean you want to go back.

See, I want to take a step forward.

Not too fast, though.

I'm not looking for another boyfriend.

I do, however, always have room for another friend.

On the next Scrubs.

Wouldn't you at least buy her breakfast? No one knows how good sex is. I've

never heard a woman make sounds like that. Sure you have. Like a guy who

getting any. Maybe so.

I wish we didn't have sex again until our wedding night.

Next Scrubs.

Tonight at 11 .30 Eastern.
