Since all lovers were once strangers, is there a point on the journey where we

stop being one and become the other?

Is there a moment when you say, that's it, I'm in love?

Or is it something that happens over time? And how do you know if it's with

right person?

I read the definition of love the other day.

Love is a well -balanced union between feeling and desire.

I have strong feelings for Aaron, and I know I desire him.

If he feels the same, Is that real love?

And when will I know it?

Baby, wasn't that the most romantic movie you've ever seen?

Romantic? That's the last time I'll let you pick out a movie. We watched it for

over two hours, and he never even told her he loved her.

He didn't have to.

You could see it in his eyes when she walked in the room.

In any way, it doesn't matter. She knew.

Well, knowing's not enough.

Sometimes you have to hear it.

Well, you never said it to me.

Well, I didn't think I had to. I thought you knew.

Well, sometimes you have to hear it.

All right, all right. I love you.

If he goes there like that, you can keep it.

Marisa, I love you.

I love you, too, Aaron.

Hey, yo, Andell.

I need some relationship advice.

Sure, boo. Talk to Andell.

Do you remember back when guys used to like you?

What do you want?

Okay, when a girl gives you her number, right, and tells you to call her later,

how much later is later? Are we talking hours later, days later, a week later?

Well, that depends. When she gave you her number, did she smile at you?

She never liked to smile. She has braces.

Well, did she make eye contact or flip her hair?

She was wearing sunglasses and a hat.

Are you sure she's not a fugitive?

Adele.

I'm just kidding, boo. Call her tomorrow.

All right, good idea.

Oh, what time tomorrow?

What's up?

Hi, Adele.

Hi, girl.

Mom, where's Aaron? I don't know, Kim. Aaron and I are secure enough in our

relationship to spend time apart.

So he's hanging out with his boys, huh? Yeah.

I mean, I don't understand why he doesn't just transfer to UCLA or

Since y 'all been back together, the boys down here every weekend.

Oh, don't you worry about Aaron's frequent flying miles. And FYI, he is

definitely not a boy.

Oh?

No,

you didn't.

Almost.

Well, almost doesn't count.

Well, let's just say.

Next time we'll count.

Well, if you're saying what I think you're saying, you better count on

some condoms. Because when Steven and I did it...

Because a lady doesn't kiss and tell? Aw.

But kissing isn't what we want to know about a lady. No?

You got to give up that scoop.

Well, it happened the night he asked me to marry him.

Ooh, I heard that. Check out the goods before you say, I do.

It wasn't like that, Kim.

I mean, it was a real special night.

We went to his place.

We had candles lit.

And our song...

You remind me of my Jeep.

It was playing.

And we toasted each other.

And he thanked me for committing to be his wife.

And we started kissing.

And started touching each other. And then it happened.

When it was over, did he hold you?

Yeah. Did you smoke a cigarette?

Yeah.

Well, that's...

Having sex doesn't make you a woman.

You know, although I am one, you know.

No, but seriously, Mo.

Before you do anything, go to the free clinic and get on the pills back up to

the condom. The pill and the condom? Girl, ain't you gonna overdose?

I mean, do you really need all that birth control?

Kim, I have eight brothers and sisters.

I'm using everything I can get.

Did you regret it?

No. I loved him.

Well, how did you know?

What, that I loved him? No, that you were ready to have sex.

You just know.

Hello, ladies. How may I help you?

Well, are we here for a sexually transmitted disease test, an HIV test,

control?

Well, tell her what you're here for.

answer, we can get out of here. I'm going to sign you in.

Kim, I'm not answering all these personal questions.

What does this have to do with birth control?

Oh, this is some kind of freaky clinic.

my hair anyway. You know what? I can get birth control at a drugstore. Okay.

Oh, I hope you don't go to the same drugstore she went to.

Ita Cho Miyamoto.

Ita Cho Miyamoto. Oh, that's you.

That's what the fake means.

It's not fake. It's just not yours.

Miss Mitchell, my name is Darnell. Hi.

How are you?

So, you're here for birth control.

When was your last period?

Uh, you're a guy.

Last time I checked, yes.

But if that makes you uncomfortable, you can reschedule and request a female

counselor.

No, I'd rather get it over with.

Um, it was last week.

So, I see here you're interested in the pill.

Yes. When was the last time you had sex? I haven't.

But my boyfriend really loves me, and I love him.

You know, this isn't some kind of casual thing.

Okay.

The bill has a 99 % success rate. 99?

Don't you have something stronger?

Sure.

Abstinence?

Well, if I wanted to do that, I wouldn't be here.

Okay. But the only 100 % way to prevent pregnancy is not to have sex.

So you still interested in the bill?

I think so. but I would like to hear more about it, please.

Well, we also recommend that in addition to the pill, use a condom because the

pill doesn't prevent disease.

Any questions so far?

Yes. How were you when you first had sex?

I was about... Miss Mitchell, you're not here to talk about me.

Now, it's very important that you take the pill every day at the same time.

Mealtimes, before you go to bed. See, some people might think I'm a little

to have sex. I mean, I'm sure you see teenagers coming in here every day, not

knowing what they're getting themselves into. But then there's others like me

who are mature, you know, way beyond their years. And, you know, sir, I think

that I'm old enough to know when I'm in love.

Well, now that you've gotten that monkey off your back, may we proceed?

Yeah. Go ahead.

Now, the pill does have some side effects.

Now do you weight gain, headache?

Weight gain?

And I called her. Now she won't leave me alone.

I mean, how do you shake a woman when you don't like her anymore?

Tell her you're broke.

No, just tell her the truth. That is the truth.

I'll get it. That's air. I'll get it.

Hey, guys.

Come on in, friend.

Hey, so, Mr. Mitchell, you ready for the game?

Ready for another SC victory.

Oh, now, I love you, Fred, but Stanford's going to kick SC's butt. Only

there's a golf course involved.

Yeah, man, thanks for those tickets, man.

Oh, yeah, yo, the next time you're down at the Magic Johnson Theater, just drop

my name, and my mama will give you a large popcorn and only charge you for a

small.

Wow, your mom's got the hookup, I'll tell you. Right, right.

Oh, baby, I'm jealous.

because I haven't seen you in two weeks, and the first thing you want to do is

spend time with my dad.

Well, aren't you two going out later?

Yeah, Moe, you know I'm saving the best for last.

Then who are you taking out after, Moe?

Moesha, honey, do you still have... Aaron.

Hi, honey. Good to see you again.

How are your parents? Oh, they're fine.

You know, we really ought to have them over.

Hey, that's a good idea, Dee.

Listen, next time you're in town, why don't we all get together?

So, next week?

Next week isn't good for me.

Then next week it is.

Moesha, sweetheart, do you still have my nail polish? Yeah, it's in my purse in

the kitchen.

Of course. Why didn't I look there?

So where are you taking me tonight?

Well, I thought that we would dine at Le IHOP.

So you take my dad and these two bums to a football game and all I get is the

rooty -tooty fresh and fruit?

Moesha, can I talk to you, please? Sure.

Dee,

you find your polish?

I wish that's all I'd found.

Birth control pills.

You having sex?

No, Dee, I'm not.

I just, I got those just in case.

Honey, this shouldn't be a just in case. How long have you been taking these?

Two weeks.

Dee, I didn't just do this on a whim.

Okay, I've thought about this for a while now.

And I love Aaron, and I'm ready to experience our love on another level.

Moesha, you are only 17 years old.

Yes, Dee, but I'm being responsible by protecting myself from getting pregnant.

Pregnancy is not the only issue here. What about disease?

I've got condoms, too.

What about no sex at all?

Hey, you ready to go, guys?

Dee, please.

Don't tell my daddy. He'd never understand this.

I'm telling you.

Okay, baby, we're out of here. Yeah, make sure y 'all watch this on TV. We'll

see you later, Pumpkin. We should be back around 7.

Yeah, Mrs. Smith, so make sure you have dinner ready.

Or we could bring something back.

Okay, beautiful. See you later.

Thank you.

I sure know how to pick a winner, don't I? Yeah.

Hey, baby.

Hey, guys. So who won? I did. I bet Aaron 20 bucks that Essie would win.

Oh, well, good, baby. We could use the cash.

Aaron here wouldn't even take my bet. That's because he knew you didn't have

money.

All right, crap. Pay up. You really gonna make me pay?

Oh, come on. Help me out, Mrs. Mitchell. I need that money to take out Moe.

Oh, well, you should have thought about that before you made the bet.

Guess you gotta go home.

No, no, no. We're just messing with you, sir. Now, you don't have to pay me. You

keep that money and show my daughter a good time. No.

I mean, Mo.

I'll go and tell her that you're here.

Come on, sit down.

Oh, what are you talking about?

Come in.

Marisha, Aaron's here.

Okay, thank you. I'll be right down.

You look nice, honey.

Thanks.

Marisha, taking the pill is a big step.

Aaron's not pressuring you, is he?

No.

He doesn't even know that I'm on the pill.

Then, honey, why are you taking it?

Dee, this is something I'm doing for me because I'm ready.

And I love him.

You having sex tonight?

I'm always sure. Honey, you sure you want to do this?

I mean, can't you wait?

Till you get married?

Honey, I want you to know that I am very proud of you for being so

responsible. But have you thought about what happens after tonight? I mean,

suppose you and Aaron break up two weeks from now. What then?

I don't know.

But I'm willing to take that chance.

Thank you, Dee, for not telling my dad.

If I thought telling your father would stop you from having sex, I probably

would.

I mean, maybe one day I could talk to him about this, but right now, he

understand. You got that right.

I love you, Moesha.

And I want you to know that I'm... Always here for you if you want to talk

about anything.

I love you, too.

Thank you.

Hey,

hurry up! What are you doing in there?

I'm making this place fit for a queen.

Answer my newbie and queen.

Hi.

Hey.

Thank you.

Hey, had you given me more notice, I would have had this whole place filled

African violets.

Or more of those things, whatever they are.

Hey.

I'm really glad you're here.

Do you have comments? Because if you don't, I do.

Don't worry, Mom, it's taken care of.

It is?

Look, we don't have to do this.

I know, but I want to.

Would you like something to drink? Yes, a Tom Collins, please.

I don't know what that is, but I just know Angela Bassett ordered it and I'm

waiting to excel.

Oh, my love.

Would you settle for apple juice on the rocks?

No, I'm not thirsty.

Thank you.

Mm -hmm.

Oh, my God.

Sorry.

You hear that?

I think that's your parents.

No, it's not.

Baby, what if they come home and we're, you know... No, you're worrying too

much.

Won't they say something if I'm in your room this late?

My parents don't trip like that. I mean, I've had girls in my room before.

Excuse me?

You know what I mean.

No.

No, what do you mean?

Come on, Mo.

How many girls have you had sex with here?

Does it matter?

I mean, I'm here with you now. It does matter. How many?

One?

Two?

Three, four, five, ten?

I don't know, okay? I mean, what difference does it make?

I'm not counting.

Maybe because you lost count.

Look, Mo, I... I never said I was a virgin. But you didn't tell me you were

hoe.

What? I can't believe you said that.

And now if I was to call you a hoe, how would you feel?

You can't call me anything because I'm not.

I'm not trying to say you are.

All I'm trying to say is... Look at us.

Why are we arguing?

This was supposed to be our special night.

It was special, Aaron.

To me.

You know, forget it, Ken. Can you, um...

Take me home, please.

Holy shit. Better yet, I'll call a cab.

Mo.

I never thought about Aaron having other partners.

I never even thought about him having sex.

And as much as I thought I wanted to be with him, The truth is, I just wasn't

ready.

And you know what?

There's no rush.
