In life, people you meet have a lot to
do with shaping who you ultimately

become, though some a lot more heavy
-handed than others.

Now, if all these people are molding
you, when is it your turn?

Carpe diem.

Seize the day.

Moesha. Moesha.

98.

99.

99 and a half.

Hurry up. I can't feel my head.

100.

Kim, I don't know why you took that
dare. We know the truth anyway.

How did you guys know my sneaks were
fake?

Because there's no Y in Nike.

Y 'all want to play dirty.

Niecy, truth or dare, did you ever stuff
your bra with Kleenex?

Truth? No.

Hold up. What about that time when Tyree
broke down and finally asked you out?

Uh -huh. That wasn't Kleenex.

That was toilet paper.

Yes, she told you. Your turn. All right,
bring it on. Bring it on. Okay.

Truth or dare?

Have you ever kissed Hakeem?

Truth. On the cheek.

All the time.

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm talking swap and spit.

Dare.

Oh, so you were the other woman.

Kim, just because I said dare doesn't
mean I kissed him.

She's right, Kim.

Besides, you never did.

It felt good how she was blocking.

Don't tell with my foot in your mouth.
Greg!

Help me!

You gonna stay out of my closet?

You gonna stay out of my room?

Out of my business?

Yes! Hey,

what's going on in here?

Hi, Mrs. Mitchell. Hey. Did you ever try
to kill me?

Well, then perhaps I should come back
later.

Miles, well, what are you doing up here
bothering them anyway?

I was in her car.

and the dryer just went off.

Dang. I'm glad this punishment ends
tomorrow.

They got me cooking, cleaning, washing,
ironing, and that was before I left for

school.

I can't believe you're still in lockdown
after that Tijuana trip.

All I had to do was re -braid my mama's
hair.

Girl, with all the kids in my house,
they didn't even know I was gone.

Hey, Nisa, you're lucky.

I wish my parents didn't care.

I mean, you know.

to always treat me like I'm a baby.

Can't they see I'm grown?

Mo, you're not grown.

You're just tall.

Got you.

I better go start dinner.

Not so fast, Shaken, babe. You still got
some business up here.

Now, I need to give her her dinner and
make it good.

Ooh, well, let me see.

Oh, no, you can't do that.

Oh,

no, I wouldn't even do that.

I got it.

But, nah, you're probably too scared to
do something like that. Scared to do

what?

Get a tattoo.

Y 'all tripping. My dad would kill me.

Nemo, that's why you never do anything.

You're too scared of your daddy.

I'm not scared of him. I can do anything
I want.

Then do it. Mm -hmm.

All right.

I'll do it. Only if you guys do it with
me.

Okay, I'm not down with the tattoo, but
I've been wanting to get my nose

pierced. Girl, I'm going to do it both,
okay?

So what's up? We going to do this
tomorrow?

Cool.

Alicia? Yes, Daddy?

Hi, Mr. Mitchell.

Hello, ladies.

Visiting hours are over. I'm afraid you
have to leave.

Yes, sir.

This is freaky.

Hence the name, Freak Shack.

Man, check this out.

This is the biggest navel ring I've ever
seen.

Kim, that's a bracelet.

Ooh, I'm gonna get that one. It's got my
nose all over it.

Welcome to the Freak Shack.

My name is Marquis.

Are you here to be adorned, pierced, or
inducted?

That big guy that just ran out here
screaming, was he pierced, adorned, or

inducted? Oh, her?

She was just reading our price list.

Well, actually, we're just window
shopping.

Well, you've come to the Mecca of body
enhancement.

We have three certified craftspersons on
duty.

However, before you can be pierced or
tattooed, the law requires you must be

or have your parents' permission.

Well, what if neither applies?

Then I require cash.

Dana, we have victims.

Hey, Marquis, the swelling went down.
Can you do my tongue again?

Uh, if you initiates would just follow
Dana, we could have you out of here in

time. Oh, goody first -timers.

She's way too happy. You go first.

Excuse me, Mr. Freak.

Oh, I'm sorry. What's your name again?

Marquis.

Well, my bad. I didn't recognize it next
to the 666.

Anyway, I want to get a tattoo.

Is that painful?

Our motto here is, pain is relative.

That didn't hurt much, did it?

Pain is relative.

Tell me about it. Mine hurt so bad I
thought I was going to pass out. I saw

white light and heard my ancestors
calling me.

Let me see your tattoo.

It's cute.

What is it?

A rose.

Oh, well, maybe when it blossoms, it'll
look better.

Oh, girl, you're going to get a lot of
play with that hoop. Shoot, when my sign

is clear up, I'm going to get the other
side done.

Oh, Moe, girl, that is fly.

You think so?

Yeah.

What do you guys think about mine?

Your what?

My ears.

My ears?

Niecy, you said you were going to get
your body pierced. I did.

Twice.

Please, what about your tattoo?

He wouldn't let me put it on layaway.

You mean me and Mo went through all of
that pain and you just got your ears

pierced? Hey, man, pain is relative.

I don't know.

Hey, how's it going? I heard you're
working two jobs now.

Yeah. I thought it was time for me to
start acting responsible and work off my

time. Was that before or after Andale
cut you off?

That was before you got that thing in
your nose.

Hey, try this.

Hakeem, since I'm taking a walk on the
wild side, I'll take a swig. All right.

Swig? Girl, you've been watching too
much Bonanza. Okay.

Dang, Hakeem, this is off the easy.

What's it called?

Hakeem's off the easy smoothie.

Hakeem, look.

I got a tattoo. I didn't see that.
Because if Mr. Mitch knew I knew and

let him know, I'd have to find a new
place to eat. Go, go, go.

Hey, boo.

Hakeem, you must be putting your foot in
these smoothies. They selling like

crazy. Nope, just... Following your
lead, Andell. All I had to do was see

make one and cha -ching.

I'm not hiding anything.

I mean, it's my body, my tattoo, and my
life. It's time I took control over it.

We feel you, Janet.

Okay, here we go.

Andell, look.

I got a tattoo.

Oh, didn't it hurt?

My nose ring did. The pain was
excruciating.

Was excruciating.

Will it hurt?

Now that I look at it, I know it's worth
it.

Uh -oh.

A clip -on camera.

Hey. Hey, honey, how are you?

Dee, if I told you something, would you
promise not to tell Dad?

Well, honey, that depends on what it is.

I punched Stanley Maxbury in the mouth.

Why?

He said because I played Romeo, I was a
thesby.

That's a compliment, honey.

But isn't that what you call women like
Ellen on TV?

Miles, um... Women like Ellen are
called... Lesbian.

Oh, then men are thespians and women are
lesbians.

No, thespians are actors and can be men
or women.

Then why can't a man be a lesbian?

Hey, D.

Moesha!

How's it feel to be free on a Saturday?

D, look.

Ooh.

Dad's gonna get you. Let me see it. Is
it real? Get away from me. Of course

real. Dee, how do you like it?

Well, it looks, uh, permanent.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it.

Are you gonna let her keep it?

And what do you suggest I do?

Well, they're doing some amazing things
with laser surgery.

Daddy's home.

Dad, Mo got a tattoo. A real one.

What?

Oh, Dee, baby, I can't believe it. A
tattoo?

Where did I go wrong?

Oh, honey, you didn't do anything wrong.

Sometimes kids just do silly things. I
have to deal with this sort of stuff

every day at school.

I mean, honey, it's just a part of them
finding out who they are.

See, she's the same person she's always
been. My daughter.

And if she doesn't know that by now,
she's not going to find out by defacing

body.

Trust me, Frank.

Honey, let it go.

Yeah, right, right. I'll let it go.

Okay.

Where is she?

Honey,

don't overreact. because if you do,
she's just going to find another way to

rebel.

Honey, it's just a passing fad.

Yeah. You said that about braids, and
I'm still paying $100 every time one

out.

Frank, trust me.

If you treat it like it's no big thing,
then she'll act like it's no big thing.

No big thing?

Frank, it's on her stomach.

Nobody's going to see it but her.

All right, D. We'll do this your way.
I'll try to be cool.

More fish, Daddy?

Wow, second.

Yeah, I could get used to Hakeem working
two jobs.

So, Mo, what'd you do on your first day
of freedom?

Well, not that that's any of your
business, but I hung out at the mall,

by the den, and got a tattoo.

Yes. It's regulator time.

If you don't sit down and finish your
dinner, I'm going to regulate you.

You know, I'm beginning to appreciate
the value of time out.

Want to see my tattoo, Daddy?

That's nice, Mo.

Now, put your blouse down before you
catch a cold.

Well, Mo, I hear that the tattooing
process can be rather painful.

Yeah, Dee, but pain is relative.

So, is this a permanent kind of thing,
or can you wash it off?

Like right now, for example.

More street beans, dear.

Well, Daddy, to answer your question,
no, you can't wash it off because it's

permanent.

Well, you better take care of it.

I mean, after all, you wouldn't want to
get some kind of nasty infection.

That's right. I have to put cream on it.
Can I be excused? Oh, by all means.

Was that cool enough for you?

The epitome of cool.

Dad, what's a lesbian?

Oh, girl, you just in time. We were
about five minutes away from organizing

memorial concert.

Why y 'all tripping like my dad is Joe
Jackson?

All he said was don't let it get
infected, period.

Uh -huh. So then why you hiding it?

Well, it's the use of having a tattoo.

You can't show it.

Well, I don't have anything to wear with
it.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, let me design something
for you. Ooh, ooh, ooh, no.

I saw them off.

Okay, but you're not gonna find it.

original.

My team, cancel those smoothies. We out.
Bye.

Hey, cancel nothing. No smoothies going
on your tab.

So you want me to throw these away,
Andale?

Uh -uh, boy. We're recycling here.

Dump that back in the blender.

Oh, by the way, don't forget to order
some more of that green stuff.

What green stuff?

The stuff that makes my... the easy
smoothie so sweet.

You better not be talking about this
stuff.

What's the drama, mama? It's just
smoothie mix. What's the drama?

This so -called smoothie mix is my
imported Castoro Sagrada bentonite

Bentonite, kryptonite, what's the
difference?

This is my colon cleanser.

Dang, how dirty is your colon in there?

Come on, that deal lightened up. I mean,
we sold enough smoothies to buy a case

of this stuff and to pay off my tab.

Boy, by using that, I have lost money on
every smoothie you've sold.

Well, look at it this way. At least all
of your customers now have the cleanest

colons in town.

to stock up on some infants.

Hey. Hey, baby. Hey, Mo, look. I'm about
to take Daddy down.

Now, are you going to let that Vulcan
child beat you? Mm -mm, baby. I'm about

snatch victory from the jaws that...
What in the... Miles, go

to your room.

Go!

Daddy, I hope you're not upset about
these because they were on sale.

Girl, did you leave your mind where you
left the rest of your clothes?

Oh, Daddy, this is a midriff. All the
girls are wearing them. And I guess all

the girls are mutilating their bodies,
too.

Daddy, one person's mutilation is
another person's art.

You didn't know that.

Daddy, I don't understand this.

You knew I had this done yesterday and
you were not all upset then.

Why are you tripping now? Because now
you look like a tramp.

Frank, you... You said what?

How could you? I don't know, Dee. I
mean, just seeing her in that top that

stopped about right here.

And then that thing carved into her
stomach. I don't know. I just lost it.

honey, why don't you just go on upstairs
and talk to her?

I want to, Dee. I need to. But I'm just
afraid of what I might say.

Oh, come on, Dee. My daughter's out
there flaunting that tattoo to the whole

world.

Frank, do you remember telling me how...
Upset your mother was when she found

out that you had let your fraternity
brothers brand you. Oh, come on, Dee,

there's no comparison.

A fraternity is about tradition and
brotherhood. And wanting to establish

independence from your parents and
needing to be accepted by your peers.

Sweetheart, the situation is different,
but the needs, they're the same.

Here, Daddy.

Pumpkin, baby, I'm sorry for what I said
to you.

All right.

May I go to the den?

Sure, sure.

I decided to follow an old saying.

If you can't beat them, Goodbye.
