All right, which one should I take,
Niecy?

I like that one. Really?

What does it say?

It says stylish, classy, expensive.

Let me see yours. Okay.

What does mine say?

Honk if you want to have a good time.

Yeah, girl.

Hey, babe.

You're joking, right?

Oh, lighten up, girl. This is our first
spring break, okay?

We are going to be on the beach in Santa
Barbara, honey, less is more.

You know what? You're probably right.

Wear what you want.

Malisha, are you in there?

You know, Nisa, after all of the stress
I've been through the past couple of

months, I'm not trying to get caught up
into any more drama.

I'm all about tranquility, harmony,
peace, and quiet.

Hey, ponytail!

It's me. It's me.

It's me.

It's me.

It's me.

and this is going to be a beautiful
week.

Yeah. Well, it didn't start off
beautifully.

Shoot, the way that crazy girl reared
into this.

Not a yelling and screaming she did. She
act like you ran into her.

Girl, I was about to whoop her. Look,

girl, like I told you, I don't have time
for that negative energy anymore.

The most important thing is nobody got
hurt.

Yeah, well, speak for yourself, Mo. If I
get so much as a crook in my neck, she

paying my tuition.

Oh, look, Mo. She ran into us. Now she's
stalking us.

Oh, no. If it isn't the girl who thinks
the yellow light means stop.

Alicia, I thought that we settled this.

Alicia, I think the light was red. And
nobody asked you.

What are you two doing in our room? Joy,
call security.

Okay. Uh -oh, Joy, don't touch that
phone.

Okay.

Alicia, I'm sure there must be some
mistake, but this is our room. We've got

keys. And what do you call this?

Well, we were here first. And you can be
the first to leave.

Well, I'm sure there's a simple solution
to this. Yeah, get out.

You see, calm down. I'm going to call
the front desk and find out where

supposed to be.

All right, Joy, I'll take this bed. You
can have the one by the window.

Uh -uh, don't divide what doesn't belong
to you. Okay, you two will be sleeping

on the beach.

I thought you said I wouldn't have to do
that unless you had company.

If anybody's sleeping on the beach, it's
going to be you. Oh, no, no, no. See,

we were here first. Okay, no, no, no.
Put my stuff in.

Double booked?

Can you let us know when there's a
vacancy available?

Sunday? Well, you know what, ma 'am? We
can't wait until Sunday.

Sorry. It's not your fault. Thank you
very much. It's not your fault. Give me

that phone. Hello?

Yes, I demand to speak to a manager.

That kind of an attitude is not going to
get us anywhere, Alicia.

They double -booked the room, and every
hotel in town is full.

So can we share the room?

Well, it's not like I drove all the way
up here to sit in a hotel anyway.

Let's not talk about your drugs. All
right, problems solved.

Hey, y 'all, what's up? Y 'all ready to
eat? Oh, no, but I'm ready to meet.

Oh, yeah, Gabe, it's a couple friends of
mine, Moe and Desperate. You call her

Lisa. It's nice to meet all of you. I'm
Alicia.

So where are you taking us for lunch? I
have a taste for Italian.

Oh, that's funny, because we have to
budget for Dutch.

Okay. Oh,

no, budget for Dutch. Ain't that
something? That can't be funny.

Yo.

Yo, yo, what's up, y 'all?

Auntie. Mm -hmm? Look, I'm not trying to
tell you how to do your job or nothing,

but you need to fire Miss Barnes.

I beg your pardon? That woman doesn't
know what she's doing.

Well, what's the matter, son?

He's flunkin'. She hates me.

Oh, Dorian, why would you say something
like that?

Because he's flunkin'. Dorian, what's
the problem with Mrs. Barnes?

Well, no matter how hard I work, I can't
get a good grade.

I played over this paper, and she gave
me a D.

A D?

History, the past, and what happened.

Dorian, how long did it take you to
write this paper?

A whole hour. A whole hour.

What, you don't believe me?

Dorian, your teachers are just trying to
prepare you for college.

Now, it takes time to write a good
paper.

Hey, if you'd like, I can sit down with
you and show you exactly how to do it.

What do you think?

No, I got it.

Well, I certainly hope so, because
that's the only way you're going to

this grade.

Come on, D, let's go pick up dinner.

All right.

You're welcome.

Hey, D -Money Man, I appreciate what
you're doing.

What are you talking about?

Well, I was afraid when I got to
Crenshaw, I'd have to live up to Moe's

-A legacy.

But thanks to you, all I have to do is
show up.

Now move over so I can go to the WWF
website.

Man, get out of here before I smack you
down.

Got to pay for the writing house.

Oh, just like Mo.

Always hogging a computer when people
have more important things to do.

I have a feeling I'm about to get an A.

Hi.

Okay.

We're here.

My name.

Oh.

Thank you.

It's a shame you hurt your ankle.

I guess you won't be making it to the
party tonight.

Oh, guess again.

See, all I need is an aspirin and a bag
of ice and I'll be fine.

Well, if that doesn't work, you got me
to lean on.

I'll see you.

Okay. Bye. Bye.

for kids. Now, Joy, if you really want
to see how to get a man, you watch me

work that party tonight.

Guys, I don't really want to trick
anybody or work anything.

I just want to meet a nice guy.

I'll leave you alone with Moesha for
less than an hour, and already she's

everything I've taught you.

Joy is right. I think being honest is
the best way to meet somebody.

Oh, is it? Yeah. And how many numbers
did you collect today? None, because I

came here to relax, not to chase men. My
life doesn't revolve around guys.

Well, you don't know what you're
missing.

Shoot, I'm here to release some pent -up
energy.

Ain't no shame in my game.

All right, Alicia, I'm just gonna go
take a shower because... Oh, Ma, after

girl. You know, I got a date, so...

Excuse me. Is Alicia here?

Rodney?

You left your sunglasses on my beach
towel.

And you brought them back.

Is a thank you enough, or do I have to
dance with you tonight?

How about all of the above?

All right.

See you later.

Toodles.

You forgot your sunglasses?

And I thought tricks were for kids.

I mean, that's smack.

Sure you will. Sure you will.

You don't have to dance by yourself.

We can dance together.

You call that dancing?

Why don't you give me a lesson?

All right, but just one dance, all
right?

Just because I take off my shoes does
not mean I want her wearing them.

Huh?

See, I'm going to have to teach Miss
Moesha a lesson.

So, Mrs. Barnes told me that Dorian
handed in one of Moesha's old papers.

What?

All right, where is he? He's in the
family room. But, honey, come on, look.

already handled it.

Mrs. Barnes and I have worked something
out.

Oh, all right.

I'll just follow your lead.

Dorian?

Is everything okay?

It's Miss Barnes.

Look, I turned in what I know is an A
paper. Mm -hmm. And this time I got an

I can't win.

Let me take a look.

History. Beyond black and white.

Knowledge, consciousness, and the
politics of empowerment.

Wow, now that is quite a title. Well,
it's quite a paper.

Well, I have to admit, it sure doesn't
look like it deserved an F.

Far from it.

So you're going to straighten out Ms.
Barnes?

Well, I guess I'm going to have to. If
she's harboring some resentment towards

you, we're going to have to find out
why.

But she's just going to deny it. But she
can't deny it. Not if you have enough

documentation. Where's your
bibliography?

Uh, it wasn't attached?

I'm afraid not.

What you're going to have to do then is
go back and write down every source

of information that you used to write
this paper.

Every book, magazine, publisher, author,
page number, everything.

That's going to take forever.

But I'm going to need it, Dorian, if I'm
going to tell Mrs. Barnes to raise your

grade.

All right, all right, I'm on it.

Honey.

The library.

Mm -hmm.

It's still on that street. Yeah, the
same street it was on when you wrote

paper.

Right. Mm -hmm.

Cute picture of me and you.

Girl, I want this one.

Okay, you can have that one.

Ooh, this is a cute picture of you and
Hakeem. I want this one, too.

Ooh! Uh -uh.

Oh, that is your last ooh, okay? Why
don't you just take all the negatives

get yourself some copies?

Well, you can keep the ones with Alicia
in them. I only want the pleasant

memories, thank you. You know what?

I gotta hand it to you. You really kept
your cool no matter how hard she tried

to take you there.

Yeah, but I couldn't give her the
satisfaction.

Anyway, what's up with you and Gabe?

Well, uh, let's just say it's a couple
pictures in here I can't show my mama.

You know what? At least Gabe is a nice
guy.

Unlike these knuckleheads I've been
attracting the past week.

You know what? Ever since spring break,
guys just feel like they can step to me

any old kind of way.

Hmm. Let's just bring fever mode, man.
I'm sure to die down.

I'll get it.

Yeah, we're looking for Moesha.

Um, I'm Moesha.

Yeah, me and the fellas, we wanted to
know if you want to party with us.

Let me think about it.

No. We have a man.

See what I mean?

Damn.

Go away!

Oh, my bad, it's you. Hey.

So, what's up? Nothing. I just haven't
seen you since we left Santa Barbara.

Okay. Do we make plans or something?

Oh, no.

No, I just figured that we would have
hooked up by now, though.

After one dance?

Well, I was kind of hoping for one of
your private dances.

What? What's wrong with you? No, what's
wrong with you?

You're the fool who just came in here
trying to get his freak on.

Hold up. You're the one getting busy
with every guy in Santa Barbara, and

trying to call me a freak? Oh, I was
just trying for you to go.

You must have me confused with somebody
else.

Well, that's not the word around campus.

Well, what's the word around campus?

Hey, stay on me. Hey, it's time to go.

Okay.

Go on.

Hakeem, what's going on?

Tell me.

Alicia's been going around campus
telling everybody that...

that you sleep around.

All right, Mona, look.

Now, when I get in the headlock, you
just reach in and just rip a spleen out.

No. No drama, remember? We're going to
sit down and talk like two adults.

Pretty sure this is all a
misunderstanding.

But let's get it straight then. Let's do
it.

Shut up.

Excuse me, Alicia. I need to talk to you
for a minute.

I'm studying.

I've heard that you've been spreading
nasty rumors about me, and I want to

why.

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

Yeah, well, you better hope you don't.

I heard that you said I slept around a
lot in Santa Barbara.

You know, I've heard those rumors, too,
girl. It's all over campus.

You must be so embarrassed.

It would have to be true in order for me
to be embarrassed.

So it's not true?

But you said you saw her in the room
with three guys. Okay, that's not what I

said.

You know, I have a pretty good memory,
and I recall... All right, shut up, Joy.

Let's go.

Let go of my arm. No, not until you
admit to me what you did and apologize.

Okay, you need to take your hands off of
me.

Hoesha.

Hello. Hey, Auntie.

I'm finished with my bibliography.

Everything is there. Every book.

Magazine, newspaper, article. I was
very, very thorough.

Well, let me take a look.

Dorian, this looks great.

I'm very impressed.

Well, you should be. That was a lot of
work.

I feel like I wrote that paper twice.

In fact, when you talk to Mrs. Barnes,
you should tell her I deserve two A's.

Two A's?

And we both agree, you deserve an F.

An F?

Dorian, Mrs. Barnes gave Moesha an A for
this same paper two years ago.

So y 'all made me do all of this work
for nothing?

Oh, no, no, no. I wouldn't say this was
for nothing.

If you want a passing grade, Mrs. Barnes
and I expect you to write your own

paper using the source material from
your own bibliography.

And you can do it in detention. I know
you know where that is.

By the way, Dorian, next time you get on
the computer, you'll see that I deleted

the rest of Moesha's papers.

Whoa, how do you feel bad? She's the one
that started it.

I know, and I was supposed to stay calm.

Plus, I know violence never solves
anything.

It does on the Sopranos.

There's Alicia. I'm going to go
apologize, all right?

Well, make sure that's all you do.

Alicia, I have something to say. And I
have witnesses.

Look, I came over because I wanted to
apologize for my behavior yesterday.

I mean, even though you were wrong, I
shouldn't have come at you like that.

And I'm sorry.

Well, you should be sorry for the way
you threw yourself at my man.

Your man?

Who's your man?

Rodney.

Just throw things over Rodney?

Girl, I'm sorry to him because, you
know, I don't really like Rodney too

You know, I don't even know why I was
tripping, girl. I guess I'm sorry, too.

Good.

Sorry that I thought Rodney would ever
go for a desperate little tramp like

yourself.

Mo?

You know, I'm just gonna leave because I
can see how anxious you are to hit me

in the fist with your face.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.
