- And so the bookmobile
will be remaining at our school a bit longer.
It has to.
Somebody stole its wheels.
(audience laughing)
One last thing, despite your outrageous behavior
at last year's Spring Dance,
Dawn Tartikoff has bug-
persuaded me to lift the ban
and let you have a dance this weekend.
- The people have been heard.
(audience laughing)
- Why me?
(bell ringing)
- You know, Cassidy, since there's gonna be a dance this-
- Look, Chris.
I'm sure you're a great guy and all,
but you preppies all have one thing in common.
- Oh, I know.
It's the khaki pants, right?
(audience laughing) - No.
All you guys are interested in
is the newest flavor of the month.
Today, it's me.
Tomorrow, it's the new redhead in science class.
- That's not true.
There's a new redheaded science class?
(audience laughing)
- Girl problems, kid?
Watch a true player in action.
What's up, what's up, what's up?
What you got, what you holding girl?
The both of y'all kicking so much
flizzing, fizzing cutie on duty flavor up in here
a brother can decide which one to get with.
(audience laughing)
- I don't know what he means, but he's cute.
- I'll explain it to you while Bubbalicious here
walks us to class.
- Bubbalicious.
(audience laughing)
- Dawn.
Thanks for turning Noble's head about that dance.
You da man, you da man.
- Da man?
- I mean you, the woman, the person-
Whatever you fly shorties like.
(audience laughing) - What do you want, Al?
- To be the DJ at the dance.
For half my usual fee.
- No thanks.
Every time you help,
something goes just a little bit wrong.
Like that canned food disaster.
- I brought in my share of cans.
- It was dog food, Al.
(audience laughing)
- Hey, it's better than the stuff
they feed us in the cafeteria.
- Sorry Al, I'm getting another DJ.
- Oh no, you ain't.
Hey yo, Choo Choo, put the word out on the street,
nobody DJs for the dance at Manny High.
Nobody but me.
(audience laughing)
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
- Yeah, it's no big deal, I'm fine.
- I totally agree.
Do you go to school here?
- No, I'm just visiting.
Actually, I'm looking for Jamal Grant.
Do you know him?
- Know him?
I am him.
(audience laughing) (girl laughing)
- No, I don't think so.
You're much cuter than Jamal.
- Oh true.
And of speaking cute.
Girl, you a fizzy, floozy, fizzing cutie on duty.
(audience laughing)
- What?
(audience laughing)
- Uh I'm sorry.
Look, I heard Jamal say that to some girls.
I should've known if it came from Jamal, it was bogus.
- Yeah, really cause Jamal thinks he's a little player,
you know, and that he's all that.
And I hate that stuff.
- Oh, 'cause I'm not a player.
I don't even think I'm all that.
(audience laughing)
- You're kinda all that.
- I am?
Cool.
Hey, you know, we're having a dance
here at the school and uh,
would you like to go with me?
- A date?
I think I could get into that.
(audiences exclaiming)
- Hey, wait, what's your name?
- Kaisha.
- HI Kaisha, I'm Chris.
And I am in love.
- I'm fond of you too, Chris.
Now get to class.
(audience laughing) (upbeat music)
- Yo, yo, yo, yo Poster Lady.
We need to talk.
- Oh, I guess that makes me Poster Lady, huh?
(audience laughing)
- I got a problem.
- So do I L-Train.
I'm afraid of you.
(audience laughing)
- See, that's my problem.
I mean, I got this tough guy image, but
deep down inside, I'm a sensitive guy.
(friends laughing)
Yo fools.
Man this is private business, man.
Get to class.
(audience laughing)
- Yes, L-Train?
- Listen, I wanna ask your friend Cassidy to the dance,
but I'm afraid she'll say no.
Would you help me?
- You and Cassidy? Wow.
- Yeah, would you ask her for me?
- No, no, no you have to ask her.
- I do?
- Yes, you do.
- Come on.
- Yo, Cassidy.
- Oh, hi L-Train.
(audience laughing)
- Please, it's Lionel
and I will be extremely honored
if you would accompany me to the rooftop dance this weekend.
I don't have a car to pick you up in, but I can get one.
(audience laughing)
- You and me?
Okay.
- Oh, what's your favorite model car?
- I think we'll walk
(audience laughing)
(Ms. Noble humming)
- "Noble's No-Nos"?
- Oh, that's my list of dance rules.
- "No rap music, no loud music, no group dances"?
Ms. Noble, these rules are too restrictive and unreasonable.
- Great, that's what I was shooting for.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
- Is it hot in here or is it just me?
It's definitely me.
Cause I just got a date for the dance
with someone who's finer than Tyra Banks.
- Oh yeah?
Well I believe it when you show me the honey.
(audience laughing)
- She'll be here in a minute,
but I think you should know, she's black.
(gasps)
- She's black?
(audience laughing)
- Is that a problem?
- Nah man, but if it makes you feel any better,
I'll bring it up at the next Million Man March.
(audience laughing)
- I bet when I turn around, I see Kaisha
and whoa, hold up, I'm seeing a whole lot of Kaisha
and the crop top's got too much crop
and not enough top.
Here girl, put this apron on.
(audience laughing) Cause you showing too much up in here.
- Hey, hey what's going on?
- Jamal, get your hands off me boy.
You can't tell me what to wear.
- I can if you're my sister.
(audience exclaiming)
- Your sister?
She's my date for the dance.
(Jamal laughing)
- Yeah right.
Kaisha would never go out with you.
- Kaisha's really your sister?
- Do I stutter?
I said she's my sister.
(audience laughing)
- Nah Jamal, I'm really going to the dance with Chris.
- Oh, this is gonna be the best dance of my life.
(audience laughing) (upbeat music)
No, tell me again, why can't I date Kaisha?
- Cause she's my sister.
- So?
- So don't you realize the problems
this is gonna cause?
- What problems?
- You know, people problems, social problems.
Like how black and white couples never get along.
- What are you talking about?
- Ah, look at that movie, Lethal Weapon.
See, Danny Glover and Mel Gibson
they fought all the time.
(audience laughing)
- There weren't a couple, they were guys.
- Then look at uh, um Daffy duck and Daisy duck.
Black duck, white duck.
See, they couldn't make it work.
(audience laughing)
Now see Daisy, she where she belongs, with Donald.
(audience laughing)
- They're ducks.
- Yeah, but Kaisha's an African-American.
Your ancestors used to own her ancestors as slaves.
- My ancestors didn't own slaves,
they're from Holland.
The only thing they owned were wooden shoes.
(audience laughing)
- Okay I can understand all that,
but Kaisha's not open-minded like I am, man.
- No, you're the one who's not open-minded.
You just wanna tell everybody what to do.
Kaisha and I are going to that dance.
(audience exclaiming)
(locker door slamming)
(upbeat music)
- Okay, which one should I wear to the dance?
- Neither one.
I've seen band aids bigger than that.
(audience laughing)
- Okay.
- Hey, look, why do you wanna go out with Chris
in the first place?
- Why are you tripping?
- Look, I'm just trying to look out for my little sister.
- You just take care of your business,
cause I can handle mine.
- Kaisha, I know Chris, you don't.
The boy is spoiled and completely selfish.
Girl, don't touch my cookies.
(audience laughing)
Good, did you know, he was thrown out of three schools?
- So were you.
(audience laughing)
- But did you know you weren't his first choice
for a dance date?
The only reason why he asked you was to make me mad.
- Right.
That's why Chris invited me to the dance
before he knew we were related.
Maybe he really likes me.
- Kaisha, girl be serious, why would anyone like you?
I mean, honestly-
- Oh uh-uh, talk to the hand
cause the ears don't want to hear your bruh.
(audience cheering and applauding)
(upbeat music)
- Dawn.
What are you doing?
- My last hope for DJ was supposed to meet me here.
I've been waiting for over an hour.
I'm starting to think he's not even coming.
- Oh, he's definitely not coming.
(audience laughing) - How do you know that?
- Oh, just like a hunch.
See, I got the second sense about things
like that ESPN stuff.
(audience laughing)
- Unfortunately, you're probably right.
Great, the dance is tomorrow
and I still don't have a DJ.
- Bam, you got one now.
(audience laughing)
- Hey yo, I really, really appreciate
you doing this for me, man.
I know we haven't exactly gotten along in the past-
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right, whatever, man.
I need my money up front.
- You got it L-Train.
Hey, $20.
- Don't fool with me fool, I said 10.
(audience laughing)
- They should have traded you in years ago.
- Excuse me while I go mess with your friend's head, man.
- Yo friend.
What's up with you and Kaisha, man?
- What?
- Oh, uh Chris,
I guess you didn't know that L-Train
is Kaisha's insanely jealous ex-boyfriend.
You guys got lots to talk about, peace.
(audience laughing)
- So L-Train, how's things?
Nice sneakers, are those the kinds of you pump up?
(audience laughing) - Shut up man.
I hear you taking Kaisha to a dance
and that ticks me off to the highest degree of tickstivity.
(audience laughing)
- Ticks what?
- Shut up.
(audience laughing)
Just the thought of somebody else
being with Kaisha burns my biscuits.
(audience laughing)
- Hi Chris.
Did I interrupt something?
- Well a honey like you can interrupt me anytime.
(audience laughing)
- Whatever.
Look, I just wanted to give you my private phone number
so you don't have to deal with you-know-who.
Make sure you use it.
- You pushing up on all the fine sisters, huh?
You just make sure you leave my Kaisha alone,
that's what you better do.
- Your Keisha?
Sure, oh yeah, absolutely.
No problem big guy.
(audience laughing)
Nice try Jamal.
Pathetic, but nice.
(audience laughing)
- Man next time I give you a picture of my sister,
look at it.
(audience laughing) (upbeat music)
- Hey, yo man.
Is Kaisha here?
I need to get some dance night details straight.
- No, she was abducted by some aliens
and the last thing I heard from the spaceship was,
"Tell Chris, I'm not going to the dance with him."
(audience laughing)
- Hey Chris, you wanna join me?
- Sure.
Aliens, huh?
(audience laughing)
- Hey yo man,
Kaisha doing her homework
and I don't think you should bother her right now.
- He's not bothering me.
- You're the only one bothering someone, Jamal.
- Is that right?
Well, what you think of this?
- Hey, you jerk!
- Jerk this punk.
- Jamal, stop it.
You're embarrassing me.
I'm the only one who decides who I can and cannot date.
So you better stay out of my business or else.
- Or else what?
- Or else this.
(audience cheering)
(upbeat music)
- Jamal, you all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- What happened to your shirt?
- Oh, nothing I can't handle.
- You sure you don't wanna talk about it?
- I'm fine.
- Oh, okay.
- My sister Kaisha threw tomato juice on it
and I don't want her to go to that stupid dance with Chris,
but she won't listen.
- Well, apparently not.
I understand how you feeling Jamal.
Back in the day my older brother tried to protect me too.
- Older brother?
(audience laughing) - Don't go there.
The point is, he tried to run my life and I hated it.
- But she's my baby sister.
- Well, if no one's hurting her
you're just gonna have to let Kaisha
make her own decisions and trust in her good judgment.
- Good judgment?
The girl likes Chris.
- You mean right now she doesn't like you too much?
- I guess I messed up, huh?
- Hey Jamal, we all make mistakes.
(upbeat music)
- Yo, yo, yo Manny High.
DJ Rocket the house with all the slamming jams
and it sounds a little-
sounds a little something like this.
(upbeat dance music)
- Ms. Noble, I don't know what to say,
but thanks for taking back your dance rules.
- Well, you know Dawn,
the good thing about being a school principal
is that occasionally I learn a lesson too.
I learned I have to trust you kids.
- Jamal, are you okay?
- Yeah, yeah I'm cool.
(upbeat dance music)
- I told you we'd be late.
- It doesn't matter.
Dance doesn't really start till we get here.
- I don't think these people dancing got the message.
(audience laughing)
- Hey y'all, what's up?
Kaisha, you look great.
You guys wanna join us over here?
- No thanks.
We're trying to avoid you.
Have a nice night.
(audience laughing)
- Wasn't that your sister?
- Yeah, she just ain't too fond of me right now.
- Can you believe Jamal?
Just walking up like nothing happened?
- No, that's just his way of trying to make up.
- Oh yeah, well he's gonna have to work
on that apology a little more
if he wants to talk to us tonight.
- Us?
Are you making decisions for the both of us now?
- [Al] Hey y'all, that slow drag was putting me to sleep.
Time to rock the his house.
(funky music)
- Come on Jamal, you've been watching your sister all night.
She's not going anywhere.
Let's dance or something.
- Yeah, you go ahead and get started.
I'll be there in a minute.
(audience laughing)
- And you're happy getting just C's
in all of your classes?
- Extremely.
- But that's just a notch above passing.
- No, all D's and one C is a notch above passing.
Trust me, I know, I've been there.
(audience laughing)
- Al, Lionel and I wanna dance to some old school sounds.
Do you have any?
- Sorry, fresh out.
- Not anymore.
Pow! (audience laughing)
That's on next, right?
- And you notice.
(audience laughing)
- My fair Cassidy, can I have this moment in time?
- Absolutely.
Let's do it.
(old school dance music) (audience laughing)
- You know Jamal, you have the prettiest eyes.
Why won't you look at me with them?
- My bad Brianna.
It's just that Kaisha and Chris
seem like they having such a good time.
- Yeah, well I'm glad somebody is.
In fact, I'm about to.
Goodnight.
(audience booing)
- Hey look Kaisha, can we talk?
- Forget it Jamal, we're not interested.
- Excuse you, he asked me the question.
- That's okay, I'll take care of it for you.
- Oh, hold up.
I don't want or need you to take care of anything for me.
- Look, I just want to say sorry
for interfering with y'all relationship.
I didn't mean-
- Relationship?
What relationship?
Why would I want another controlling,
self-centered, academic underachiever in my life
when I've got you, Jamal?
(audience laughing)
You know what?
I think it's the both of you who belong together.
I'm going home.
(audience laughing)
- Did I miss something?
- She thinks I'm like you.
What's that all about?
- Hey man, I've been there and done that.
That's between the two of you,
I can't touch that.
(audience laughing)
- Excuse me, excuse me.
- Al, what are these guys doing?
- Is it 10 o'clock already?
Wow, I've gotta return this stuff.
The evidence room at the police station is closing.
- Why you little-
You did it to me again. (audience laughing)
- Watch yourself, there's a principal presence.
- Well at least everyone will get home before curfew.
(audience laughing)
- All right, last dance people.
Shake it, but don't break it,
took your mama nine months to make it uh.
(audience laughing)
- Hey, where's your date.
- Oh, well she, she just went-
- Yeah mine dumped me too.
- Yeah well, I don't have a date either
and this is the last dance.
- Oh no, no, no.
Ah no, I mean I'm not worthy.
But I'm sure Jamal would love to dance with you.
- Ah Chris, come on, man.
You been talking about dancing with Mrs. Noble all night.
Stop the lying boy.
- Tell the truth, you wanted to dance with her.
- Come on, I heard you say it.
- Look you don't have to fight over it,
I'll dance with both of you, come on.
(audience cheering)
All right now.
Oh yes, I'm feeling it.
(audience laughing)
Oh yeah, I'm flowing, oh yeah.
(audience laughing and applauding)

Like how black and white couples never get along.

Black duck, white duck.

(audience laughing)
Now see Daisy, she where she belongs, with Donald.
(audience laughing)
- They're ducks.
- Yeah, but Kaisha's an African-American.
Your ancestors used to own her ancestors as slaves.
- My ancestors didn't own slaves,
they're from Holland.
The only thing they owned were wooden shoes.
(audience laughing)
- Okay I can understand all that,
but Kaisha's not open-minded like I am, man.
- No, you're the one who's not open-minded.
You just wanna tell everybody what to do.
Kaisha and I are going to that dance.
(audience exclaiming)
(locker door slamming)
(upbeat music)
- Okay, which one should I wear to the dance?
- Neither one.
I've seen band aids bigger than that.
(audience laughing)
- Okay.
- Hey, look, why do you wanna go out with Chris
in the first place?
- Why are you tripping?
- Look, I'm just trying to look out for my little sister.
- You just take care of your business,
cause I can handle mine.
- Kaisha, I know Chris, you don't.
The boy is spoiled and completely selfish.
Girl, don't touch my cookies.
(audience laughing)
Good, did you know, he was thrown out of three schools?
- So were you.
(audience laughing)
- But did you know you weren't his first choice
for a dance date?
The only reason why he asked you was to make me mad.
- Right.
That's why Chris invited me to the dance
before he knew we were related.
Maybe he really likes me.
- Kaisha, girl be serious, why would anyone like you?
I mean, honestly-
- Oh uh-uh, talk to the hand
cause the ears don't want to hear your bruh.
(audience cheering and applauding)
(upbeat music)
- Dawn.
What are you doing?
- My last hope for DJ was supposed to meet me here.
I've been waiting for over an hour.
I'm starting to think he's not even coming.
- Oh, he's definitely not coming.
(audience laughing) - How do you know that?
- Oh, just like a hunch.
See, I got the second sense about things
like that ESPN stuff.
(audience laughing)
- Unfortunately, you're probably right.
Great, the dance is tomorrow
and I still don't have a DJ.
- Bam, you got one now.
(audience laughing)
- Hey yo, I really, really appreciate
you doing this for me, man.
I know we haven't exactly gotten along in the past-
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right, whatever, man.
I need my money up front.
- You got it L-Train.
Hey, $20.
- Don't fool with me fool, I said 10.
(audience laughing)
- They should have traded you in years ago.
- Excuse me while I go mess with your friend's head, man.
- Yo friend.
What's up with you and Kaisha, man?
- What?
- Oh, uh Chris,
I guess you didn't know that L-Train
is Kaisha's insanely jealous ex-boyfriend.
You guys got lots to talk about, peace.
(audience laughing)
- So L-Train, how's things?
Nice sneakers, are those the kinds of you pump up?
(audience laughing) - Shut up man.
I hear you taking Kaisha to a dance
and that ticks me off to the highest degree of tickstivity.
(audience laughing)
- Ticks what?
- Shut up.
(audience laughing)
Just the thought of somebody else
being with Kaisha burns my biscuits.
(audience laughing)
- Hi Chris.
Did I interrupt something?
- Well a honey like you can interrupt me anytime.
(audience laughing)
- Whatever.
Look, I just wanted to give you my private phone number
so you don't have to deal with you-know-who.
Make sure you use it.
- You pushing up on all the fine sisters, huh?
You just make sure you leave my Kaisha alone,
that's what you better do.
- Your Keisha?
Sure, oh yeah, absolutely.
No problem big guy.
(audience laughing)
Nice try Jamal.
Pathetic, but nice.
(audience laughing)
- Man next time I give you a picture of my sister,
look at it.
(audience laughing) (upbeat music)
- Hey, yo man.
Is Kaisha here?
I need to get some dance night details straight.
- No, she was abducted by some aliens
and the last thing I heard from the spaceship was,
"Tell Chris, I'm not going to the dance with him."
(audience laughing)
- Hey Chris, you wanna join me?
- Sure.
Aliens, huh?
(audience laughing)
- Hey yo man,
Kaisha doing her homework
and I don't think you should bother her right now.
- He's not bothering me.
- You're the only one bothering someone, Jamal.
- Is that right?
Well, what you think of this?
- Hey, you jerk!
- Jerk this punk.
- Jamal, stop it.
You're embarrassing me.
I'm the only one who decides who I can and cannot date.
So you better stay out of my business or else.
- Or else what?
- Or else this.
(audience cheering)
(upbeat music)
- Jamal, you all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- What happened to your shirt?
- Oh, nothing I can't handle.
- You sure you don't wanna talk about it?
- I'm fine.
- Oh, okay.
- My sister Kaisha threw tomato juice on it
and I don't want her to go to that stupid dance with Chris,
but she won't listen.
- Well, apparently not.
I understand how you feeling Jamal.
Back in the day my older brother tried to protect me too.
- Older brother?
(audience laughing) - Don't go there.
The point is, he tried to run my life and I hated it.
- But she's my baby sister.
- Well, if no one's hurting her
you're just gonna have to let Kaisha
make her own decisions and trust in her good judgment.
- Good judgment?
The girl likes Chris.
- You mean right now she doesn't like you too much?
- I guess I messed up, huh?
- Hey Jamal, we all make mistakes.
(upbeat music)
- Yo, yo, yo Manny High.
DJ Rocket the house with all the slamming jams
and it sounds a little-
sounds a little something like this.
(upbeat dance music)
- Ms. Noble, I don't know what to say,
but thanks for taking back your dance rules.
- Well, you know Dawn,
the good thing about being a school principal
is that occasionally I learn a lesson too.
I learned I have to trust you kids.
- Jamal, are you okay?
- Yeah, yeah I'm cool.
(upbeat dance music)
- I told you we'd be late.
- It doesn't matter.
Dance doesn't really start till we get here.
- I don't think these people dancing got the message.
(audience laughing)
- Hey y'all, what's up?
Kaisha, you look great.
You guys wanna join us over here?
- No thanks.
We're trying to avoid you.
Have a nice night.
(audience laughing)
- Wasn't that your sister?
- Yeah, she just ain't too fond of me right now.
- Can you believe Jamal?
Just walking up like nothing happened?
- No, that's just his way of trying to make up.
- Oh yeah, well he's gonna have to work
on that apology a little more
if he wants to talk to us tonight.
- Us?
Are you making decisions for the both of us now?
- [Al] Hey y'all, that slow drag was putting me to sleep.
Time to rock the his house.
(funky music)
- Come on Jamal, you've been watching your sister all night.
She's not going anywhere.
Let's dance or something.
- Yeah, you go ahead and get started.
I'll be there in a minute.
(audience laughing)
- And you're happy getting just C's
in all of your classes?
- Extremely.
- But that's just a notch above passing.
- No, all D's and one C is a notch above passing.
Trust me, I know, I've been there.
(audience laughing)
- Al, Lionel and I wanna dance to some old school sounds.
Do you have any?
- Sorry, fresh out.
- Not anymore.
Pow! (audience laughing)
That's on next, right?
- And you notice.
(audience laughing)
- My fair Cassidy, can I have this moment in time?
- Absolutely.
Let's do it.
(old school dance music) (audience laughing)
- You know Jamal, you have the prettiest eyes.
Why won't you look at me with them?
- My bad Brianna.
It's just that Kaisha and Chris
seem like they having such a good time.
- Yeah, well I'm glad somebody is.
In fact, I'm about to.
Goodnight.
(audience booing)
- Hey look Kaisha, can we talk?
- Forget it Jamal, we're not interested.
- Excuse you, he asked me the question.
- That's okay, I'll take care of it for you.
- Oh, hold up.
I don't want or need you to take care of anything for me.
- Look, I just want to say sorry
for interfering with y'all relationship.
I didn't mean-
- Relationship?
What relationship?
Why would I want another controlling,
self-centered, academic underachiever in my life
when I've got you, Jamal?
(audience laughing)
You know what?
I think it's the both of you who belong together.
I'm going home.
(audience laughing)
- Did I miss something?
- She thinks I'm like you.
What's that all about?
- Hey man, I've been there and done that.
That's between the two of you,
I can't touch that.
(audience laughing)
- Excuse me, excuse me.
- Al, what are these guys doing?
- Is it 10 o'clock already?
Wow, I've gotta return this stuff.
The evidence room at the police station is closing.
- Why you little-
You did it to me again. (audience laughing)
- Watch yourself, there's a principal presence.
- Well at least everyone will get home before curfew.
(audience laughing)
- All right, last dance people.
Shake it, but don't break it,
took your mama nine months to make it uh.
(audience laughing)
- Hey, where's your date.
- Oh, well she, she just went-
- Yeah mine dumped me too.
- Yeah well, I don't have a date either
and this is the last dance.
- Oh no, no, no.
Ah no, I mean I'm not worthy.
But I'm sure Jamal would love to dance with you.
- Ah Chris, come on, man.
You been talking about dancing with Mrs. Noble all night.
Stop the lying boy.
- Tell the truth, you wanted to dance with her.
- Come on, I heard you say it.
- Look you don't have to fight over it,
I'll dance with both of you, come on.
(audience cheering)
All right now.
Oh yes, I'm feeling it.
(audience laughing)
Oh yeah, I'm flowing, oh yeah.
(audience laughing and applauding)
