Sister, Sister (1994–1999): Season 4, Episode 7 - Boy from the Hood - full transcript

Hey, Darnell loved ding dongs!

Darnell always gave me

cute little gifts.

-Is this boring, or what?

See, you just got here.

I've been listening

to this for days.

"Darnell" this.

"Darnell" that.

- Hey, are you guys
- talking about Darnell?

See, Darnell was my best friend



when we were kids.

His mom, patrice,

she's my mom's

best friend forever.

Anyhow, they moved away

when he was nine.

Now, they're moving back,

- and they're going
- to stay with us a few days.

-How are you?

-Hey, tamera!

While Darnell's here,

maybe we can all hang out.

Gee, Tia,

- your little friend Darnell
- sounds really sweet,



- But I've got
- a full weekend planned.

- Oh, my gosh, tamera.
- There he is.

- Come on.
- You've got to meet him.

Whoa!

Come on, tamera,

he's never seen you.

Hey, he's seen you,

he's seen me. Now, look.

You two go blow

bubbles in your milk

and talk about old times.

I'm really not interested in...

Darnell!

What's up, Tia?

Ah-oo-gah!

Hey, Darnell,

how are you doing?

This is my sister tamera.

Tamera. Hey, what's up?

My blood pressure.

Whoo! Whoo! Who let

these bluebirds in here?

- Anyone wanna tell me
- what's going on here?

Hey, ray. This is Darnell.

Little Darnell?

Uh-oh.

Oh, little d!

Give your auntie

some sugar, boy.

-What's up, aunt Lisa?

-Where's your mama?

- Still talking
- with the cab driver.

I got the digits!

My girl!

Oh! Trice, this is ray.

Oh. Lisa's told me

so much about you.

Really? Well, welcome.

Mi casa es su casa.

It's all making sense now.

Okay. I saw some gangster dude

come in here with a suitcase.

He hasn't come out yet...

You're that dude.

-Hey, yo. What's up?

-Roger, this is Darnell.

We grew up together

and he's staying here.

Let me get this straight.

He grew up with you

and he's staying here?

Right.

And I grew up with tamera

- and I'm staying
- way over there?

- Man, I grew up
- with the wrong twin.

I got my eye on you, snoop.

Oh! Remember when we sneaked

into the zoo gift store

and ate the heads off

the chocolate giraffes?

Hey! Want to do it again?

I really don't care

for sweet stuff anymore, Tia.

Although I did have my share

of sugar in Atlanta.

Ooh, Darnell!

You have a girlfriend

back there?

Oh, a few.

Let's see.

There was Tanya, Vanessa

and Janet, she was fine.

And the week before that...

Whoa! Whoa! Slow down.

When did you become a player?

You know,

- when a honey gets too serious
- all up on your case...

That's when it's time to step.

Speaking of honeys,

what's up with your sister?

Huh? What do you mean?

You know, tamera.

She's got it going on.

- I'd kind of like
- to get with her.

And do what?

Oh!

Oh! Uh... um...

I don't think so, Darnell.

I mean, tamera?

She's not your type.

Baby, once they meet me,

they're all my type.

Good morning, Tia.

Hi, darling...

Uh... Darnell.

What up, Newton?

You kicking it

with me and Tia today?

- -Sure.
- -Oh, no, you're not.

Tamera, what happened

to your full weekend?

I emptied it.

Cool. Then we're Audi.

I'll meet you outside.

-Uh. Listen, tamera...

-Tia, I think Darnell likes me.

Isn't that great?

Your old best friend

could be my new boyfriend.

-Uh, tamera?

-Hi, daddy.

Since Tia will

be with Darnell today,

- what do you say
- you and I do something like,

I don't know, drive to Miami?

Sorry, dad, but I'm kicking it

with Tia and Darnell today.

Oh, no, tamera! That's okay.

I mean, we'd just bore you

with our boring old stories

about our boring childhoods.

Wouldn't you rather

kick it with your dad?

Uh... no.

Let's go. I got shotgun!

Don't be afraid to use it!

- Nothing like getting up early
- in the morning

- And going out
- for biscuits and gravy.

Nice try.

Where you two been all night?

Catching up.

Getting down.

All around the town.

Child, I'm exhausted.

I'm going outstairs to shake

this confetti out of my hair.

Confetti?

Fiesta night

at the velvet burrito.

- If you can finish
- the El barrel de Margarita

The mariachi band breaks

a pinata over your head!

- Will you be screaming
- all weekend?

Sorry.

When trice and I hook up,

all I can say is...

Whoo!

Where are the girls?

Out with Darnell.

Oh! Isn't little d

the sweetest thing?

He always was the most

adorable little boy.

- He's a big boy now.
- He's out with my little girl.

So what? Little d is harmless!

If he's harmless,

why am I so nervous?

- Probably because
- trice and I keep going...

But we'll keep it down.

I promise.

We'll be good.

- ["Bad to the bone"
- playing loudly]

Did we ever like

these stanky things?

No, honey, we just

liked being bad.

Ooh! And child,

we were good at being bad.

Ooh! Ray's home.

Quick! Get rid of the smoke!

- You wasn't this afraid
- of your daddy.

- My daddy never threw
- a hissy fit.

Oh. Ladies.

Are the girls home yet?

Oh, Lisa.

Boy. That had to be

a pretty big cat

if he got your tongue.

Tamera!

I just gave up cigars.

Phew! That was a close one.

Ray wouldn't know fun

if it hit him in the butt.

He may not know fun,

- but he knows how to keep you
- from having any.

Well, it's obvious you can't

be yourself around here.

- Lisa,
- that man looks down on you.

Oh, patrice,

Ray's not like that.

- Yeah, he makes fun
- of my clothes, the way I talk

- And how I always
- clip my toenails

While I'm watching Savannah.

But aside from that,

we got no problems.

Child, please, a man like ray

judges who you are

by where you're from.

I'm talking about

our old neighborhood, girl.

- Trice. Ray may be buttoned up
- a bit too tight,

- But I can't believe
- he's prejudiced.

I've met people

like him my whole life.

He's judging you, judging me,

even my baby Darnell.

Now believe it, girlfriend.

- I know I shouldn't have let
- those girls go anywhere

- With that baggy-pants-wearing
- troublemaker.

- -Where in the world are they?
- -Oh, I see!

- You're worried
- 'cause they're with Darnell.

You're trying to say

you don't trust him?

- I'm not trying. I'm saying it.
- I don't trust him!

Why? Is it because

of where he's from?

Because I'm from the same

neighborhood that he is.

- Oh, that makes me
- feel a lot better.

What are you doing here, Roger?

What kind of a father are you?

- Those poor defenseless girls
- are out there somewhere

- With the fresh prince
- of Detroit.

- Well, thank you
- for your concern, Roger,

But I can handle this.

- You're right, Mr. Campbell.
- You handle it.

-That was fun. Yeah.

Where have you been?

- Dad,
- Darnell was showing us around

All his old hangouts.

It was fun, right, Tia?

- Not much.
- When you guys ditched me,

- I had to keep driving
- around the block

- To keep anyone
- from stealing the tires.

Well, what can I say?

- The old neighborhood
- just ain't what it used to be.

Yeah, and a lot of things

ain't what they used to be.

- Well, look, just going to grab
- some sounds for my crew.

Be right back, slim.

Can't wait to meet your crew.

Excuse me?

A couple of Darnell's

friends invited him over.

A house party?

Well, you're not going!

Go home, Roger.

Don't worry, ray.

I mean, we're not going.

Whoa, whoa, wait.

Maybe we're not, but I am.

Oh, no, you're not, missy.

- As long as you live
- under this roof

You'll live by my rules!

I know what's good for you!

- And... why do I get the feeling
- everything I say

- Is going in one ear
- and out the other?

Huh?

Oh! Oh, yeah, yeah,

sure, dad.

Whatever you say.

Well... that's better.

I appreciate...

You being reasonable, honey.

I'm only thinking of you.

Tia, can you believe him?

Tamera,

I hate to say it,

but he's right.

I've been trying to tell you

that Darnell's changed.

I don't even know

who he is anymore.

But I do know that...

He's not right for you.

Oh, so...

I guess you'd be happy

if I didn't go

with Darnell tonight.

Whoo!

Oh, yeah.

Very happy.

Tamera, I am not happy.

Tia, I know what I'm doing.

Now, go home!

- Oh, like I'm going
- to leave you alone

- With Darnell
- and his friends?

Tia, please!

You're talking like

it's dangerous in there.

Ladies.

- -Come on, let's go.
- -Yeah, let's get out of here.

I mean, let's dance.

Come on, slim.

What's up, gs?

Party over here.

Hey, yo, pickle man,

that's the same dude

- we saw riding up the street
- on a schwinn.

- What do you want,
- banana-seat boy?

Just kind of get my groove on.

- Hey, yo, can I see
- that dance again, little man?

Roger: Pretty smooth, huh?

Listen, uh, tamera...

- I got the keys
- to the apartment next door.

It's all ours.

Ours? For what?

You know, so we can have

a lot more fun next door.

Fun?

Oh... oh, we can

have fun right here.

Want to play twister?

Strip-twister?

Fun's over.

Hey, hey, tamera...

What's wrong with you?

I thought you liked me.

I do.

Then prove it. Let's go.

Darnell, I...

- Darnell,
- she's not going with you!

What's your problem, Tia?

You!

You turned into a major jerk.

Yo, I grew up.

Maybe it's time you tried.

Well, you grew up all right,

into a dog!

And by the way...

You and your bullet head

are not all that.

- Oh, yeah? Well, your sister
- seems to think different.

Tamera, are you coming or not?

Tamera?

Tia, I can make

my own decisions, okay?

Darnell.

Go aim your bullet head

at another target!

Oh, it's like that?

Why'd I even bring you

to this party? Forget you.

Tamera...

I'm very proud of you.

Tia.

You were right about him.

I feel so stupid.

No, you shouldn't.

Oh, yes, I should.

He was our ride.

- This is crazy.
- Darnell would never

- Take our girls
- to any wild party.

- He did, and if that dumpster
- had been full of rocks

Instead of Chinese takeout,

- I wouldn't be here
- to tell the tale.

I'm going to kill that Darnell.

- Tamera has never
- defied me like this before.

-It's all his fault.

-Oh, sure, blame Darnell.

- He ain't no good,
- 'cause he's from my 'hood.

You're judging him, ray.

- Don't be ridiculous!
- You're the one judging him

- 'cause you assume
- he can do no wrong.

- Just because
- he's my little Darnell.

- -Oh, I never said that...
- -Could we focus, people?

We have a situation here.

- Now just control yourself, ray,
- 'cause they're not in there.

- So don't go acting
- like a jackass.

Get off my baby!

Get off my baby!

Come!

You ain't my baby.

And you ain't my mama.

Oh, well, if I was, I'd tell

you to dump this chump.

You can do better than that.

Hello? Punkin?

Whoo-hoo, it's daddy!

I can't believe we're in here.

- Well, I'm not going back
- to that party.

Hey, what's up in there?

Uh, sorry!

We're still shaving our legs.

Uh, one down, three to go!

Excuse me. What do you

think you're doing?

The bankhead bounce.

Dwayne here taught it to me.

Ooh, par-tay!

-Lisa!

-Oh, all right.

I'm sorry, baby.

I'm sorry, but my daddy

says I got to go.

- I'm going to get you
- for this, ray Campbell.

That boy thought I was 19.

It's not that dark in here.

We didn't come here to party.

Well, we might as well.

- The girls aren't here,
- and we are.

Ooh, tater tots!

Lisa, sometimes you are so...

So... so what?

Low rent?

- Well, I'd settle for low rent.
- You pay no rent.

You see? You see there?

You look down on me.

What?

- Yeah, you got all kinds
- of problems with me

- Just 'cause I'm from here.
- Admit it.

- I admit,
- I have some problems with you.

- Like the way
- you pull my ear for luck

On bingo night, or at dinner.

When you ask me: "Are you

going to finish that?"

- And I haven't even
- put my fork in it.

Lisa, I don't care

where you're from.

It's you I can't stand.

Oh, ray...

That's so sweet.

- Come here,
- let me pull your ear.

Don't even think about it.

Hey, yo, I got more drinks.

Ray: Is that Darnell?

You got more what, little boy?

Uh...

Root beer stuff.

That's all, aunt Lisa.

What y'all doing here?

Warming up.

Now, where are my girls?

Why are you sweating me?

I ain't their keeper.

Oh! Little boy, I know you did

not just get smart with me.

You better recognize.

I'm down with that.

Well, look,

they got to be here.

- Because once they dissed me,
- I took the car.

- Yeah, well,
- they cut me down, aunt Lisa.

Right in front of my crew.

A man shouldn't have

to go out like that.

A man?

Well, I don't see

no man in here.

I see a little child

in big boy's clothes

- who was raised
- to know better!

- Ow! Dang,
- I'm sorry, aunt Lisa.

Not as sorry as you going be

when me and your mama

get through with you!

Now, listen up!

Listen up, everybody!

This soul train has come

to end of the line!

Now, there are two girls

in here that don't belong.

Now, you all got

to the count of three.

One...

Two...

- Don't y'all make me
- count to three.

Oh, the bathroom.

Tamera, we can't stay

in here all night.

Oh, yes, we can.

- It's ugly on the other side
- of that door.

Lisa: Who are you calling ugly?

- -Mom?
- Ray: Tamera?

-Dad?

Oh, my god.

Back!

If you got to go potty

take it out to the texaco

station on the corner.

Oh, dad.

Mom, I'm so glad to see you.

- Dad, before you say anything,
- I know.

I totally didn't listen to you,

I went out with the wrong guy,

I wouldn't let Tia stop me,

and I messed up so bad

you had to come and rescue us.

- Now, how could you
- be so insensitive?

What? Wait a minute.

You defied me

and you want to be mad?

I'm supposed to be mad.

How could you be mad at me?

Because you shouldn't

have come to rescue me.

Girl's got a point, ray.

What point? Where?

- Would somebody point me
- in the direction of the point?

Ray, when a baby falls down,

- you just want to pick her up
- and kiss the boo-boo.

- But look,
- they're not babies anymore

And if they fall we got to let

them get up all by themselves

or they'll never learn how.

That's lovely, Lisa.

Sew it on a pillow.

Tamera, I'm your dad.

Protecting you is part

of the job description.

Dad,

you can't protect me forever.

And you don't have to.

- I know right from wrong
- because of you.

Yeah, and it was tamera's idea

- to lock ourselves
- in the bathroom.

You must be very proud.

Well, I admit that, tamera,

- you do make sense
- in some loopy, teenager-y way.

But it still doesn't

get you off the hook.

Well, dad, before you plan

on punishing me, remember,

having your daddy

bust into a bathroom

- to pull you out
- of a grown-up party

Is pretty darn humiliating.

In fact,

a punishment in itself.

- Nice try. Come on,
- we're going home.

Oh, man!

Come on, everyone get ready

for emergency maneuvers.

There are some pretty

scary people out there.

Roger?

- Greetings,
- my little bathroom buttercups.

Hey, uh, what happened

to the party?

Beats me.

But there sure is a crowd

down at the texaco station.

What are you doing here?

Do you even have to ask?

When my girls are in distress,

it's Roger to the rescue.

You came to rescue us?

Oh, Roger.

Wait a minute.

- It's okay
- if Roger rescues them.

What's wrong with me?

Oh, I thought you'd never ask.

You always make these

num-num-nummy noises

when you chew your food.

- You eat your alphabet soup
- alphabetically.

You squish bugs

with the new TV guide.

When I get in the bathroom

- there's water
- all over the toilet seat...

See, Darnell moved away

when he was nine...

- -Wait.
- -I said "Darnell."

Anyhow.

- And his mom patrice
- they've been best friends...

Did I? No.

And his mom, patrice...

Wait. I said something wrong.

Well, I admit, tamera,

it makes sentence...

"Makes sentence?"

- As long as you live
- under this roof

You will do as I say.

Now I'm only caring about

what really concerns me...
