So, what do you think?

It's very efficient.

I mean, no matter where you are, everything is within arm's reach.

Even the ceiling.

It's not the best neighborhood, but hey, it's ours.

That's right. Think positive. Yeah, and they've had a few break -ins in the

building, but so what?

Yeah, not like you guys have anything worth stealing anyway.

Wait a minute.

If that's Hakeem's room...

Where's your room, Jerome?

You standing in it.

I'm going to call it Pleasure Island.

Yep, deserted and barren.

Oh, hey, hey, Morgan.

Yes.

Oh, hey.

Hi, sir.

How you doing, sir?

Whoa, look at this.

So this is your new place. Yep.

Yeah, yeah, this is my crib.

Oh, yeah, I'm Mr. Mitch, and that's my roommate, Jerome. Jerome, Mr. Mitch. Oh,

a pleasure to meet you, son. My pleasure. Man, this place is a dump.

Mouse, it's a bachelor pad. It's supposed to be a dump.

Maybe next to a dump, but it's not a dump.

Hakeem is right. All this place needs is a little light.

Let us just say it.

It's me.

It's me.

It's me.

You finally got your own place, huh? Yeah. You know, it seemed like yesterday

when you two were out in the front yard throwing water balloons at each other.

Ooh, water balloons.

I mean, I could just see Mo now.

All soaked.

Mr.

Mitch is Moesha's father.

Oh. Good work, pops.

Uh, how long have you guys been knowing each other?

Well, actually, we've been neighbors for a long time. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but

Hakeem is just like family.

Wanting me familiar.

Hakeem, you're not exactly scheduled to eat here every morning.

Well, according to my Franklin planner, I am. So I guess I'll be spending a lot

of time with you folks.

That's horrible.

I'm trying out for basketball.

Yeah, I'm carbo -loading for endurance, so I'll be freshened over time.

I got my protein for bulk, so I can crash the boards with the big boys, you

what I'm saying?

And I got my calcium, so I can grow three inches by Monday.

What are you doing in my house?

Snacking and macking.

Yeah, well, you better start tracking, because I told you not to be here.

Oh, you were serious about that? Yes, I was.

Mr. Mitchell, you tell me to get out your house every day.

How am I supposed to know when you mean it? What about my pancakes?

Well, sir, do you want a ride or do you want to eat?

I'm going to do both.

Why don't you, sir, let me...

There you go. Like this? No, no, no, no, no, no.

Nice and slow.

There? Nice and slow. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you got it.

Yeah, Hakeem is the hungry side of the family.

Hey, well, I didn't just eat at your house. We used to walk to school

every day.

Oh, my God.

Remember that time when you, him, and I decided to play that joke on that easy

teacher? She almost ended up in the hospital. Yeah, so did I.

After my mama finished putting a whoop into my backside.

Yeah, you guys were in punishment for what, about a year?

That was funny, though.

I'm going to have to try that one. Oh.

Well,

anyway, Hakeem, in honor of this big and important step that you've taken in

your life, the boys and I got together and got you some housewarming gifts. Oh,

good looking.

Okay.

Okay. Come on, I'll let this to you.

That's how I knew you would like it.

KD money?

What you got for me?

Rope spray.

Like you don't have one.

He's just mad you only bought one can. Yeah,

so now.

Well, Hakeem, this is for me.

Oh, cordless phone. It's the midnight light.

It's your red. A lot better than the one you gave me, Daddy. Oh, Mo.

Hakeem. You know, I've always considered you like one of my own.

I want you to use this phone, give me a call anytime you need me.

Thanks, Mr. Mitch.

Thanks.

You better not call collect.

Oh.

Well, fellas, I guess we better get out of here before nightfall.

See you. Gotta go.

All right, y 'all. All right, we'll talk to you.

Dang, man. I knew you guys had been friends a long time, but I didn't know

guys actually grew up together.

Yes. Yes, we did.

Dang, Mo.

I mean, did you guys ever think in all these years I would ever get my own

No. I always thought that you and Kim would move in together.

Is that your old girlfriend?

No. I didn't tell her that.

You know, why are you always playing so hard to get?

I'm not playing.

Thanks for dinner. Gotta go.

Wait, wait, wait. Why are you leaving?

There's no more food left.

monster gopher and washed it down. See ya.

What, baby?

Wait, hold up. Woohoo!

I got one!

Are you trying to play basketball this year now that you are fine and

everything?

White combo.

Ooh, left -right combo. That sounds tasty. Can I get that super size?

Kill!

Ooh, what are you tripping? I'm not tripping. Yes, you are. This is my

brown sugar, and you all blocking.

Reality check. He doesn't want to be with you again. Well, did he tell you

something? No.

Then how are you now? He just left. Ran down the road.

Her king!

Baby! Her king!

Ooh, now that sound like my kind of woman.

Desperate. For love.

Can I get another one? No. Jerome, we like her.

You never hooked up with Akeem.

You ain't no Moe? No. No, see, Moe always had a boyfriend.

And a boyfriend.

And a boyfriend.

And a boyfriend.

And... All right.

I think he got the point.

Maybe we've known each other a little too long.

On that note, I'm going to hook up my new cordless phone.

Oh, so now how he just gonna hide the phone in his room?

Yeah, it's funny how people get greedy with their own gifts, huh?

Oh, boy, please.

Hey, look at this. A double dip.

Hi. Were your neighbors from upstairs?

Well, I'm Jerome, your tour guest. Welcome to Pleasure Island.

Well, this is Jasmine, and I'm Shia Levy.

we roll me love.

Um, I'm Alicia, and this is Niecy Jackson.

I don't know why she just said my last name.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hi, Jerome.

We saw you move into the building, so we brought you some gifts to welcome you.

This is Amethyst, and this is Torquoise. They clear the air of bad vibes.

Well, thank you, Miss Jasmine. This is like a spiritual air freshener.

Oh, how cosmic of you. Yeah, Jasmine's very talented. She also reads poems and

tells fortunes. Oh, really?

Well, look, could you read my poem?

You'll be going on a long trip.

Really? Girl, where am I going? Where do you live?

I'm sorry.

Are you two together?

No, it's just a little sex thing.

Oh.

Hey, Akeem, man, I want you to meet Jasmine and my new girlfriend.

They're our new single neighbors from upstairs.

Oh, hey, nice to meet you. Yeah, man, see, now they brought us some rocks,

right? So as soon as Moesha and Meecy get up out of here, we can get better

acquainted. Better acquainted.

A little some more, Meecy.

Oh, you drunk?

Mm -hmm.

All right, fine. We have something to do anyway, all right?

Bye. Bye. Bye.

regret moving in with Jerome. You know what I'm saying?

No, Mom, not really.

Oh, come on. He is so pushy. You saw the way he forced Hakeem to make us leave.

No, I saw Hakeem respond to two pretty girls and then give us the boot.

Well, you know what? I'm going to give them both a piece of my mind.

Beep, beep. Ooh, girl, my jealousy meter.

I'm not jealous of those little skinny, trying -too -hard -to -be -cute

charades.

Admit it, Mo.

Whenever Hakeem shows the slightest interest in another woman, you butt in.

Why don't?

Okay, let me just start with Tiffany.

Uh, isn't Hakeem adorable?

Girl, you think he's adorable now? Wait till you've known him for two weeks.

Hey, y 'all, look, check this out.

The Pendulum is having a karaoke contest Friday night.

Dang, y 'all, first prize is $200. You know I'm down.

Wow, you do that?

I mean, sing in public?

Yeah, come on, Tiffany, it'll be a lot of fun.

Oh, I don't know. I mean, I couldn't imagine getting up in front of

Girl, we're friends now.

Yeah, I know, but I... Then what's the big deal?

Well, nothing, but I just... Don't you want her to come, Hakeem?

Of course I do. Then it's settled. I can't wait.

Now I'm leaving.

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.

Hakeem, when did you get a girlfriend?

Uh -uh, that ain't no girl. That's somebody's mama.

Hakeem, I'm gonna tell your mama.

Yeah, yeah. Why don't you just quit tripping, Mo?

That's why I didn't tell you, because I knew you wouldn't understand.

Dang, Mo. I mean, what's the big deal? Older women, younger men relationships

happen, huh?

Well, Hakeem is too young to be a man.

Hakeem is my friend. I was just trying to help him.

Oh, Mo, you've been very helpful.

Hakeem, you were supposed to wear your suit. You are not going to get a job

looking like that. You look like the gangster Urkel.

Mo, why did you lie on my cousin? I thought we was friends.

Hakeem, I am sorry. I did not mean for it to get out everywhere. Yeah, yeah,

yeah. That's why you told Kim and Niecy, because you wanted the free world to

know, huh?

Mo, Mo, Mo, you just don't get it, do you?

You think you can put me and my father in the same room and then boom, presto,

we just Opie and Andy?

Hakeem, look.

Just talk to him, man.

You need to heal.

You don't want to pass these issues down to your children.

End this vicious cycle.

Hey, Mama, what are you doing over here? I thought I told you I'd bring you a

plate.

Am I forcing you to work to help pay bills?

No, ma 'am.

No.

All right, Macy, I see your point.

But who asked you anyway?

Hey, Mom.

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

No,

no, ladies, ladies, don't leave. Look, I swear he won't say the name Moesha

again for the rest of the night. If he does, I'm going to punch him in his

Adam's apple.

No, that's okay, Jerome.

That's his friend. He just feels guilty he made her leave.

But this is my house, too.

And I don't feel bad about making a leave. I mean, I can't even stand a girl

a little sidekick.

I'll rub the rocks.

Man, look what you did.

Man, I ought to hit you with one of these rocks.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm talking about Moesha whipping you like cream. I am not whipped.

Oh, so you just randomly go around making a fool of yourself.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the countless times you've degraded the Y chromosome trying

get at Moesha.

Oh.

Um, yeah, I got a little stuff I want to do for you.

Hakeem, please.

You're making this more complicated than it has to be. No, no, no, Moe. I mean,

it's just a little something I've been meaning to give to you now. Come on,

Tate.

You made your delivery. Let's find weight.

Oh,

look. It's the big picture of me and Hakeem.

So, Mo, I was just thinking that maybe you could hang that up in your room as

sort of a reminder of our special friendship.

Thank you, Hakeem. I know just the place for it.

Cool.

Yo, Hakeem, let me take you out of here and explain to you what just happened.

Well,

tell me what you think of this, Mo.

Hakeem, what are you doing?

Mo, listen, listen.

It's just a promise ring.

As in I promise to always be there for you. But I... Mo, Mo.

You don't have to answer right now.

I just want you to think about everything we ever had.

And everything that we can become.

Yes, you're right.

I have been acting a little spro.

Uh -oh, here comes your man right now.

Doesn't look like he's slipping today.

Hey, is this all for me?

Yeah. I figure since I messed up the dried roses thing, I'll get you some

ones. Thank you, baby. This is so special.

Oh, baby, you're my girl.

You're special.

Oh, yeah, no, look.

Got you a little something -something.

Hakeem, I can't.

All right, I really don't want to hurt your feelings, but I can't accept this.

It wouldn't be right.

Why not?

Because of what happened between me and Easy?

No, I'm over that.

Because I'm with you now.

Hakeem, you know that we'll always be friends.

Being friends, huh? Yeah, is that why you haven't been wearing my ring?

About that ring. Look, Mo, just keep that and accept this last gift from a

friend.

Hakeem. Please?

It's empty.

That's because your gift is in here, Mom.

And you'll always have it.

Well, Hakeem, that's the sweetest gift I've gotten.

Sweeter than those damn rocks?

But first I came to give you this.

It's the necklace that I wanted.

Yeah, well, you said you liked it, and the boutique owner needed a sale, and to

get that mall discount, you know.

Shoot, dude, just admit it. Look, boy, how can I want you when I'm engaged to

You engaged to Q?

Man, love is one thing, but, brother, please.

Pick your dignity up off the ground.

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right. You know what?

Forget all that. Yeah, yeah.

Moesha wants to get back with me.

She's going to have to come knocking at my door. Yes, ma 'am.

Hakeem.

All right, all right, though.

See what a little self -respect can do for you? Yeah. Now, I'm going to get it,

all right? And I'm going to go buy a little brown sugar from Miss Jasmine and

Shania.

Hey, Mom.

Hi, Jerome.

Hey. Hey, Mom.

Do you have a minute, or are you busy entertaining?

No. No, I'm cool.

Here.

I didn't get a chance to give you a housewarming gift.

You didn't have to. Yep.

Thank you, Moesha. You're welcome.

I think it'll look nice right here.

So cute.

Um, do you want to stay?

I mean, if you're not doing anything else.

Yeah, sure, I'll stay.

Oh, wow, you guys got a couch.

Yeah, yeah, we found it in the alley.

Did you like it?

Yeah, it was nice.

So,

here

we are alone in your apartment.

Just the two of us.

Yeah.

So, um, what do you want to do?

Look at you, being a host.

Well, it's my pleasure.

I can't believe that we're all going out.

Yeah, well, I can believe you. I've got to pay rent in 30 days.

So do you like your new neighbors?

I don't know.

Maybe. Yeah, time will tell.

Yeah, time will tell.

Cheers. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Cheers.
