Hey, l.J.
Hey...

- l.j. Lamar.
Is he hot or what?
Hi, l.J.
I'm Roger, jock guy.
What team do you play on?
No, I'm not a jock.
I'm the jock guy.
I hand them out.
Equipment manager.
He's only been here for a week
and he's already captain of the
football team.
He doesn't even know you exist.
I know, but I'm going
to make him notice me.
Tamera, please. Not the old
gee-i-dropped-my-lunch move.
That is so lame.
It is, huh?
Watch and learn, my sister.
Feel stupid?
Not really.

Hi. How's business?
Oh! Not bad. Lots of orders.
Oh, good.
So, tell me, ray...
- Do you think a woman
- who showed up
- At her high school reunion
- in this dress
Will just make all the other
women die of envy?
Class reunions...
- Isn't it pathetic
- that some loser's
- Going to wear that dress
- and delude people into thinking
- She's done something
- with her sad little life?
- When in fact,
- her natural beauty alone
- Is enough to make those jerks
- eat their hearts out.
- Look, just because I'm wearing -
this dress I haven't eaten - Anything
- But, rice cakes and lettuce
- for the last two weeks
Doesn't mean I'm trying
to impress
a bunch of old girlfriends.
I'm sorry, Lisa.
I'm trying to impress a guy.
Right.
Not just any guy, either. Ray,
David Johnson.
Ooh!
He was cute and smart.
- He had a crush on me
- all during high school.
I never did anything about it.
You know I think I understand.
- When I was in high school,
- there was this girl...
- Yeah, sure you did. Sit down.
- This is my moment.
No, listen you don't have to
make a dress or lose weight
just to impress a man.
Really?
Oh, well, that's very...
What you need is a limo.
You know that is a good idea
- can you let me use one of your
- limos for the night?
I own a comany Donna.
When's the reunion?
Friday night.
Consider it done.
Oh, ray. Oh, ray.
This is really nice of you.
Well, it's because you're...
You're a friend.
Yeah, well, anyway, thanks.
It's funny isn't it,
how sometimes a terrific guy
somebody sensitive,
responsible, intelligent
can be right up under your nose
and you never even notice him?
- You mean that
- David Johnson guy, huh?
- No, I'm talking
- about somebody else.
Lisa stop right there.
- If you mean what
- I think you mean...
Howard feeny. Marching band.
- That boy could work
- a sousaphone.
Who did you think I meant?
Huh?
- Mom I've got an English test
- tomorrow.
I'm going to study
at the library.
- Well what's wrong
- with your room?
Tamera's doing
Jim carrey impressions
and playing hackysack
with a soda can.
Oh, Tia, please.
Smokin'!
Bye, mom.
Bye bye.
If I'm going to lose 12 pounds
in 72 hours I better go jog.
Tamera, aren't you
in Tia's English class?
All
righty then, dad.
- Don't you have a English test
- tomorrow
I think so.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
You know, you're right.
- Don't you have
- to pull your grades up?
Boy, I'll say.
Ooh, somebody stop me.
All right. I will.
- Why are you watching
- goof troop?
Because baywatch isn't on yet.
Hello?
Tamera, start studying. No TV.
All righty, then.
What's up? I'm l.J. Lamar.
- Coach Kelly gave me your name
- from the list of tutors.
I'm supposed to set up
a time with you
to help me study.
Uh, you're Tia Landry, right?
Unless there's somebody else
walking around with this face.
Uh... great.
'Cause I've got one week
to get my grades up
- or coach won't let me
- play in our first game.
- So, when can you
- start tutoring me?
Well, how about right now?
Cool.
Somebody stop me!
Okay, now the most
important thing
about learning
good study habits, l.J.
Is to create the proper
work environment.
For an example...
We need the right kind
of light to study by.
And a little music
to help us concentrate.
Hey, studying's kind of fun.
You know I always thought
you smart girls were...
I don't know... real serious.
Yeah, that's a common
miscon... stru... ization.
Have a seat.
- Why don't we start
- by quizzing you
- On some of the questions
- at the end of the chapter.
Cool.
Okay, number one...
- "a common rallying call
- of the American revolution
Was "no taxation without...?"
Receipts?
Correct!
Yes!
Okay, um...
Number two...
"compare and contrast
the causes and results
"of the American revolution
with those
of the French revolution."
No clue.
What's the answer?
Uh...
Well, uh...
The, uh... American revolution
started when the English king
placed a tax on tea
and coffee and orange juice.
- Pretty much
- all the breakfast drinks.
And the French revolution
however, started when...
Marie antoinette
and her husband...
King antoinette
said, "let... them eat cake."
You see the differences?
Tea, cake, food, beverages?
Wow.
I don't know if I'm going
to be able to keep up, Tia.
Don't worry.
I'll go slow.
What's going on here?
Sir, I'm l.J. Lamar.
I'm here for tutoring.
Oh, I see.
- May I speak with you a minute?
- Excuse us.
- Honey, I didn't know
- you were going to have a tutor.
That's great.
- I mean, I know how hard
- it is for you
To admit that you need help.
Hey, no use pretending
you're something
you're not, right?
Exactly.
Well, keep up the good work.
I'm doing my best, sir.
Check out tamera and l.J.
Unbelievable.
Just a few days ago
she threw my lunch
- in front of him,
- and he stepped on it.
Wow.
I've got to re-read
that article in sassy
on how to hook a hunk.
Hey, guys, have you
met my tutor?
- You're going to need
- a tutor, man.
I hear lindstrom's
giving us a pop quiz today.
No problem.
She taught me
everything she knows
about the American revolution.
- Yeah and you know it took
- me ten minutes.
Wow!
- Oh! You coming over
- to study again tonight?
- I'll bring my
- sega Jaguar this time.
Cool.
All right! I got a "d."
D-plus!
How did you do, l.J.?
Out of 100 questions,
I got three of them right.
- -Yes!
- -Yes!
- Hey, that tutor
- really helped, huh?
Helped? I got five right
on the last quiz.
She's making me dumber.
What's up, l.J.?
Thanks to Tia Landry
I won't be able
to play this season.
That's what.
Hey, you and l.J.
Are looking pretty
tight there, tamera.
- Yeah couldn't you just
- die, Tia.
I'm seeing the most
popular guy in school.
He's not my type.
- Besides, popularity
- isn't that important to me.
- Thanks for making this
- the worst year
- In the history
- of Roosevelt high.
Yeah, everybody in school
hates your guts, Tia.
Boy, you really don't care
about being popular.
I didn't do anything.
- I don't have a clue
- what's going on.
Hey, Denise.
Bite me.
Denise, that was harsh.
I'm sorry, Tia,
but if you're going
to tutor somebody
you should take the job
more seriously.
What are you talking about?
If l.J. Flunks history
he won't be able
to play all season.
But I'm not tutoring l.J. La...
Tamera!
Well, how do I look?
Lisa...
- Everyman you went
- to high school with
Is going to lie awake tonight
- tormenting himself
- because he let you slip away
- And reduce his life
- to a meaningless joke.
Oh, ray, you sure know
what to say to a woman.
Well, I said pretty much
the same thing to tamera
when she got her first zit.
Thanks.
Is the limo here yet?
The limo... yeah.
I mean, no. I mean...
Any minute now.
Oh, good.
- Did you get me a stretch
- or a town car?
Uh... a stretch, of course.
You know, full bar,
TV, moon roof...
You did want a moon roof?
- A lot of women
- don't like moon roofs
- 'cause the wind
- messes up their hair.
- I'd better cancel
- that moon roof.
- You forgot to order
- my limo, didn't you?
I feel real terrible
about this. Uh...
I'm very sorry.
Oh... that's okay.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, okay.
Well, I'm sure
David Johnson will be just
as impressed when I pull up
in my white-on-rust-in-white
broken down '75 El dorado
and crawl my way
through the cellophane
on the broken-window side
- and scratch my way
- and hurl myself up over...
All right. All right.
As much as I'd like to see that
I promised you a limousine
and you're going to get one.
Hello, Todd. This is ray.
- Can you have
- the regency stretch
- Over at my house
- in five minutes?
Yeah. Have Jimmy drive it.
- That's right.
- He's got a booking.
Uh, Donna then.
Oh. Uh... how about Larry?
Oh. Uh... how about you, Todd?
Oh, come on, Todd.
- You're going to have
- other children
- And the obstetrician
- can run the camcorder.
Okay.
And?
And I'm Raymond,
your limousine driver.
Oh, I really
appreciate this, ray.
- Well, I know you do,
- and I want you to know
- You should feel free and
- treat me like you would
Any other chauffeur.
Oh, thank you very much.
The door.
Oh, l.J., how's the pupil?
Lousy.
Well, you know, she
has so much potential.
Raymond! Chop! Chop!
Oh... hi, l.J. Come on in.
Look. I know you must
be upset right now,
- but I talked to your history
- teacher
- And he said if you
- get a "c" on your test tomorrow
He could pull up your
grade enough to play.
So far I've got
an f-minus, Tia.
- How am I ever going
- to get a "c"?
Hey, if anybody
can pull this off
it's Tia Landry.
- Now, you just wait
- right here while I
- Go upstairs and prepare
- my lesson plan.
Hi Tia.
You still mad at me?
What do you think, tamera?
- Because of you,
- even the chess club hates me.
They chased me three blocks.
- And they run pretty fast for
- guys wearing hush puppies.
What can I say, Tia?
- I opened the door
- and l.J. Was standing there
And he asked if I was you.
My mouth said, "yes."
- My brain was still working on,
- "I wonder what he looks like
In bicycle pants."
- Tia, I know you
- won't forgive me
- And there's no reason
- why you should forgive me.
Will you forgive me?
No.
Tia, I'm sorry.
- It's just that when l.J.
- Thought I was smart
It felt sort of good.
But from now on,
I'll be honest.
Please?
Okay. I forgive you.
Great! Okay. Here's the plan.
L.j.'s downstairs right now
- and you have to help
- him ace his test.
No way.
Either that,
or you're going to
have to transfer
to another school.
All right.
What do I have to do?
It's simple really.
All you have to do is be you
pretending to be me
pretending to be you.
What happened to honesty?
I'll start tomorrow.
Honest.
Hey, Tia, what are
you doing up there?
Uh, i'm... I... I'm changing.
Look. Let's just get
this over with. Okay?
And I'll take those.
Not so fast.
I don't think I trust you
anymore, Benedict Alexander.
I think you mean
Benedict Arnold.
Not according to you.
Benedict Arnold was
the American traitor
who attempted to sell
west point to the British.
Or perhaps you mean
Alexander Hamilton
the first secretary
of the treasury.
Why aren't you taking notes?
Oh. Uh... uh... just a second.
What are you doing?
You know... to help
us concentrate.
- How are we supposed to study
- with that racket?
Turn it off!
Sit down! Open your book,
chapter three.
Man, you smart girls got
some nasty mood swings.
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
Really.
I own the limo company.
I'm only driving as a favor
to the woman I live with.
- I mean, I live with her,
- because, you see
She is the mother of
my daughter's twin sister.
They were separated at birth.
- They found each other
- at the mall.
You're right.
I'm just a driver.
- Finally... only two hours
- later than she said she'd be.
Yeah. They think they're
so much better than us, huh?
Hey! A limo!
I'm impressed.
It's about time, Lisa.
- Are you going to let that clown
- talk to you like that?
Don't worry, David.
That's just Raymond, my driver
and he was just about to
butt out of our business.
Just drive us
to the blue terrace, Raymond.
We're going to get a drink.
Yes, ma'am.
- I'm sure glad you came
- over to me at the reunion.
- I must admit, I never - would
have recognized you, - Lisa.
Oh, David, you haven't
changed one bit.
I forgot to mention this
- but behind the
- panel on the left
Is a fine Bordeaux,
macadamia nuts
and some chilled guava nectar.
What?
No beer or corn nuts?
- I thought these things
- were supposed to be classy.
- Hey, pull over here
- at this party store.
Stop. Stop!
It's none of my business, Lisa
- but I think you're
- too good for this guy.
I know he isn't quite
what I described
but everybody changes a little.
Well, it's your life.
All I'm saying is
maybe the reality's
not living up to your fantasy.
- I know David, ray,
- and deep down
He's a fine, decent,
sensitive man.
Step on it!
The guy messed up on the change
- and gave me
- three extra dollars.
Hurry! Hurry!
Now, uh, where were we?
You mean all those years ago?
Oh, no. Just now.
Our senior year, we
were sitting in your car.
Remember?
-Mm-hmm.
And I was telling you I
couldn't go out with you
- 'cause I was seeing
- lonny Baxter.
Mm-hmm... uh,
who's lonny Baxter?
Oh, you remember.
The boy in Mrs. Bremen's class.
Who's Mrs. Bremen?
Our geometry teacher.
You know, she was
only the best teacher
they had at Ford high.
Ford high?
I went to denby.
You what?
Denby high's reunion
was in the antelope room.
- Ford high's was in
- the Wolverine room!
No kidding!
- No wonder I
- didn't recognize anyone.
I must be really sloshed!
Oh, well.
- You are the wrong
- David Johnson! Get out of here!
Come on, baby. It's okay.
- I left the old
- ball and chain in Toledo
- And this tux doesn't have
- to be back for a week.
Then get off at i-75
- and you'll be in Toledo
- before you stop rolling.
Hey, wait a minute!
Can we stop first?!
No!
- Come on, the car's
- still moving!
Eww! Ugh!
And here are your corn nuts!
Oh... god!
- Uh, back to the
- reunion, miss Landry?
Whew! No, thank you.
Let's go home, ray.
As you wish, madam.
- Oh, you can cut
- that out now, ray.
Sorry. It's the hat.
So? How'd you do?
Terrible.
I got worse than an "f".
I got a "g".
That's not a "g".
That's a c-minus.
Oh, that's what
those look like.
You did it! That's great!
- Come on.
- Let's go celebrate together.
Sure, Tia.
Um, wait.
I've got to be
honest with you, l.J.
I'm not Tia.
I'm Tia's twin sister, tamera.
- I just pretended to be
- Tia so I could tutor you
- But, that was really Tia
- who tutored you yesterday
Not me, tamera.
Huh?
Look.
Try to follow me.
I'm tamera, not Tia.
I just pretended to be Tia
so, I can go out with you.
Okay. Okay. I got it.
- So where do you
- want to go, Tia?
One more time...
Oh, forget it.
- Oh, I'll get it, tamera.
- It's for me.
- It's some other guy i'm
- supposed to start tutoring.
Roger, what are you doing here?
- I'm here for my
- tutoring session.
- I need help going
- over my anatomy.
You don't even
take anatomy, Roger.
No, but I have one.
Me too. What's your news?
I signed up to be a tutor.
- I'll get extra credit
- and it'll help me
Earn points toward
the student abroad program.
You think that's good?
- I put money
- in the vending machine
- And I got an extra
- bag of chips!
Hey, l.J.
Hey...
- There's that new guy,
- l.j. Lamar.
Is he hot or what?
Hi, l.J.
I'm Roger, jock guy.
What team do you play on?
No, I'm not a jock.
I'm the jock guy.
I hand them out.
Equipment manager.
He's only been here for a week
and he's already captain of the
football team.
He doesn't even know you exist.
I know, but I'm going
to make him notice me.
Tamera, please. Not the old
gee-i-dropped-my-lunch move.
That is so lame.
It is, huh?
Watch and learn, my sister.
Feel stupid?
Not really.
This is your lunch.

That's what.
Hey, you and l.J.
Are looking pretty
tight there, tamera.
- Yeah couldn't you just

I'm seeing the most
popular guy in school.
He's not my type.
- Besides, popularity
- isn't that important to me.
- Thanks for making this

Yeah, everybody in school
hates your guts, Tia.
Boy, you really don't care
about being popular.
I didn't do anything.
- I don't have a clue
- what's going on.
Hey, Denise.
Bite me.
Denise, that was harsh.
I'm sorry, Tia,
but if you're going
to tutor somebody
you should take the job
more seriously.
What are you talking about?
If l.J. Flunks history
he won't be able
to play all season.
But I'm not tutoring l.J. La...
Tamera!
Well, how do I look?
Lisa...
- Everyman you went
- to high school with
Is going to lie awake tonight
- tormenting himself
- because he let you slip away
- And reduce his life
- to a meaningless joke.
Oh, ray, you sure know
what to say to a woman.
Well, I said pretty much
the same thing to tamera
when she got her first zit.
Thanks.
Is the limo here yet?
The limo... yeah.
I mean, no. I mean...
Any minute now.
Oh, good.
- Did you get me a stretch
- or a town car?
Uh... a stretch, of course.
You know, full bar,
TV, moon roof...
You did want a moon roof?
- A lot of women
- don't like moon roofs
- 'cause the wind
- messes up their hair.
- I'd better cancel
- that moon roof.
- You forgot to order
- my limo, didn't you?
I feel real terrible
about this. Uh...
I'm very sorry.
Oh... that's okay.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, okay.
Well, I'm sure
David Johnson will be just
as impressed when I pull up
in my white-on-rust-in-white
broken down '75 El dorado
and crawl my way
through the cellophane
on the broken-window side
- and scratch my way
- and hurl myself up over...
All right. All right.
As much as I'd like to see that
I promised you a limousine
and you're going to get one.
Hello, Todd. This is ray.
- Can you have
- the regency stretch
- Over at my house
- in five minutes?
Yeah. Have Jimmy drive it.
- That's right.
- He's got a booking.
Uh, Donna then.
Oh. Uh... how about Larry?
Oh. Uh... how about you, Todd?
Oh, come on, Todd.
- You're going to have
- other children
- And the obstetrician
- can run the camcorder.
Okay.
And?
And I'm Raymond,
your limousine driver.
Oh, I really
appreciate this, ray.
- Well, I know you do,
- and I want you to know
- You should feel free and
- treat me like you would
Any other chauffeur.
Oh, thank you very much.
The door.
Oh, l.J., how's the pupil?
Lousy.
Well, you know, she
has so much potential.
Raymond! Chop! Chop!
Oh... hi, l.J. Come on in.
Look. I know you must
be upset right now,
- but I talked to your history
- teacher
- And he said if you
- get a "c" on your test tomorrow
He could pull up your
grade enough to play.
So far I've got
an f-minus, Tia.
- How am I ever going
- to get a "c"?
Hey, if anybody
can pull this off
it's Tia Landry.
- Now, you just wait
- right here while I
- Go upstairs and prepare
- my lesson plan.
Hi Tia.
You still mad at me?
What do you think, tamera?
- Because of you,
- even the chess club hates me.
They chased me three blocks.
- And they run pretty fast for
- guys wearing hush puppies.
What can I say, Tia?
- I opened the door
- and l.J. Was standing there
And he asked if I was you.
My mouth said, "yes."
- My brain was still working on,
- "I wonder what he looks like
In bicycle pants."
- Tia, I know you
- won't forgive me
- And there's no reason
- why you should forgive me.
Will you forgive me?
No.
Tia, I'm sorry.
- It's just that when l.J.
- Thought I was smart
It felt sort of good.
But from now on,
I'll be honest.
Please?
Okay. I forgive you.
Great! Okay. Here's the plan.
L.j.'s downstairs right now
- and you have to help
- him ace his test.
No way.
Either that,
or you're going to
have to transfer
to another school.
All right.
What do I have to do?
It's simple really.
All you have to do is be you
pretending to be me
pretending to be you.
What happened to honesty?
I'll start tomorrow.
Honest.
Hey, Tia, what are
you doing up there?
Uh, i'm... I... I'm changing.
Look. Let's just get
this over with. Okay?
And I'll take those.
Not so fast.
I don't think I trust you
anymore, Benedict Alexander.
I think you mean
Benedict Arnold.
Not according to you.
Benedict Arnold was
the American traitor
who attempted to sell
west point to the British.
Or perhaps you mean
Alexander Hamilton
the first secretary
of the treasury.
Why aren't you taking notes?
Oh. Uh... uh... just a second.
What are you doing?
You know... to help
us concentrate.
- How are we supposed to study
- with that racket?
Turn it off!
Sit down! Open your book,
chapter three.
Man, you smart girls got
some nasty mood swings.
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
Really.
I own the limo company.
I'm only driving as a favor
to the woman I live with.
- I mean, I live with her,
- because, you see
She is the mother of
my daughter's twin sister.
They were separated at birth.
- They found each other
- at the mall.
You're right.
I'm just a driver.
- Finally... only two hours
- later than she said she'd be.
Yeah. They think they're
so much better than us, huh?
Hey! A limo!
I'm impressed.
It's about time, Lisa.
- Are you going to let that clown
- talk to you like that?
Don't worry, David.
That's just Raymond, my driver
and he was just about to
butt out of our business.
Just drive us
to the blue terrace, Raymond.
We're going to get a drink.
Yes, ma'am.
- I'm sure glad you came
- over to me at the reunion.
- I must admit, I never - would
have recognized you, - Lisa.
Oh, David, you haven't
changed one bit.
I forgot to mention this
- but behind the
- panel on the left
Is a fine Bordeaux,
macadamia nuts
and some chilled guava nectar.
What?
No beer or corn nuts?
- I thought these things
- were supposed to be classy.
- Hey, pull over here
- at this party store.
Stop. Stop!
It's none of my business, Lisa
- but I think you're
- too good for this guy.
I know he isn't quite
what I described
but everybody changes a little.
Well, it's your life.
All I'm saying is
maybe the reality's
not living up to your fantasy.
- I know David, ray,
- and deep down
He's a fine, decent,
sensitive man.
Step on it!
The guy messed up on the change
- and gave me
- three extra dollars.
Hurry! Hurry!
Now, uh, where were we?
You mean all those years ago?
Oh, no. Just now.
Our senior year, we
were sitting in your car.
Remember?
-Mm-hmm.
And I was telling you I
couldn't go out with you
- 'cause I was seeing
- lonny Baxter.
Mm-hmm... uh,
who's lonny Baxter?
Oh, you remember.
The boy in Mrs. Bremen's class.
Who's Mrs. Bremen?
Our geometry teacher.
You know, she was
only the best teacher
they had at Ford high.
Ford high?
I went to denby.
You what?
Denby high's reunion
was in the antelope room.
- Ford high's was in
- the Wolverine room!
No kidding!
- No wonder I
- didn't recognize anyone.
I must be really sloshed!
Oh, well.
- You are the wrong
- David Johnson! Get out of here!
Come on, baby. It's okay.
- I left the old
- ball and chain in Toledo
- And this tux doesn't have
- to be back for a week.
Then get off at i-75
- and you'll be in Toledo
- before you stop rolling.
Hey, wait a minute!
Can we stop first?!
No!
- Come on, the car's
- still moving!
Eww! Ugh!
And here are your corn nuts!
Oh... god!
- Uh, back to the
- reunion, miss Landry?
Whew! No, thank you.
Let's go home, ray.
As you wish, madam.
- Oh, you can cut
- that out now, ray.
Sorry. It's the hat.
So? How'd you do?
Terrible.
I got worse than an "f".
I got a "g".
That's not a "g".
That's a c-minus.
Oh, that's what
those look like.
You did it! That's great!
- Come on.
- Let's go celebrate together.
Sure, Tia.
Um, wait.
I've got to be
honest with you, l.J.
I'm not Tia.
I'm Tia's twin sister, tamera.
- I just pretended to be
- Tia so I could tutor you
- But, that was really Tia
- who tutored you yesterday
Not me, tamera.
Huh?
Look.
Try to follow me.
I'm tamera, not Tia.
I just pretended to be Tia
so, I can go out with you.
Okay. Okay. I got it.
- So where do you
- want to go, Tia?
One more time...
Oh, forget it.
- Oh, I'll get it, tamera.
- It's for me.
- It's some other guy i'm
- supposed to start tutoring.
Roger, what are you doing here?
- I'm here for my
- tutoring session.
- I need help going
- over my anatomy.
You don't even
take anatomy, Roger.
No, but I have one.
