05x20 - Prom Night
Posted: 01/09/24 10:08
Dang. Can you believe
how crowded that store was?
You know, I had my dream
prom dress in my hands
until somebody kicked me.
Oh, that was you?
- It's easy for you
- to joke.
- You guys found
- great prom dresses.
Oh, they gotta be, div.
The senior prom is the most
important day in a girl's life
- next to her wedding day,
- of course.
And so far,
everything is turning out...
- Perfect!
- Perfect!
- We got the perfect
- entertainment...
Jon b!
Perfect boyfriends to take us.
And now, we got
the perfect prom gowns.
- Perfect.
- Perfect.
Oh, and I'm getting
perfectly sick.
♪ I do my own style
in my own time ♪
♪ how different
we have come to be ♪
♪ even though I'm glad
to be with you ♪
♪ I got to feel
what's real for me ♪
♪ like you got to do
what's right for you ♪
- Mattie: - All I'm saying is
- I hope you know
What you're doing.
Of course I do, Mattie.
I have made
- every important outfit those
- girls have worn
From dance recitals
to cheerleading uniforms.
They'd never forgive me if I
didn't make their prom dresses.
Lisa, think back
to your senior prom.
What's the first
thing you remember?
Oh... my gown.
White dotted Swiss
with Daisy appliques.
- And did your
- mother make it?
- Heck, no! My mama couldn't dress
- a dinner salad.
Oh...
I got it from neiman's.
Picked it out myself.
- It took me six months
- to save up for that dress.
- Then why can't
- Tia and tamera?
'Cause they got a mama
that can sew like a spider.
Lisa, to your
celebrity clients
your gowns may be all that,
but to those girls
they're just dresses
their mama made.
Once I learn how to bead,
you outta here.
Mom, we've got
really great news.
You won't believe
what we just bought.
Wait. Wait, wait.
Me first.
I got something
I can't wait to show you.
Are you ready?
Wow!
Wow!
Surprise!
I made your prom dresses.
- Wow.
- Wow.
Well, girls,
say something.
I'm not hearing anything.
I'm hearing the sound
of you stepping up to
the unemployment line.
- Lisa, we're
- just stunned.
By their beauty.
Yeah, they're gorgeous.
Oh, I knew you'd love them.
So, what's this exciting thing
that you bought?
Uh, this bracelet.
Didn't I buy you one
like that for Christmas?
Maybe I should
take this one back.
- Yeah, I better
- help her.
- Bye.
- See you.
- Now, you see
- that, Mattie?
Those girls were
real excited about them.
They were excited
about getting
out of here.
- Mattie,
- they couldn't be happier.
Oh, I want to die.
Our perfect night
is ruined.
Why did mom have to go
and do something so nice?
- And they're
- so beautiful.
If they were ugly,
we could slam her quick.
- Tamera, what are
- we going to do?
- I mean,
- we can't hurt her feelings.
I know. But what
about our feelings?
This is our prom
and we already have
the perfect dresses.
Which cost a fortune
and we can't return
because they were on sale.
Why did you have
to have a talented
and thoughtful mom?
- Forget giving our money
- to the tux shop.
- My uncle owns
- a funeral home.
- He can hook us up
- with black suits.
J., I'm not wearing
no dead man's threads.
Jordan, all the guys
will be in tuxes
at the prom.
Exactly.
It's just another way
society robs you
of your individuality.
Well, Jordan, if
you don't rent a tux
then you'll be going to
the prom as an individual.
Herd mentality,
that's all I'm saying.
- I wanted to talk
- to you guys about prom night.
Don't worry, ray.
We'll behave ourselves.
- I wanted to talk
- about the limousine
- But since
- you brought up...
Let's talk limos.
Okay.
Well, I know how special
you want prom night to be.
True that, dad.
Right, right.
And anyone can
ride to the prom
in a black limo.
So I was thinking,
I'm going to give
you an upgrade.
A white stretch limo.
Ray, I hope you're not
talking about Moby d*ck.
Moby d*ck?
The old white clunker
that nobody wants?
That limo is a classic.
It's so classic, superfly is
still sitting in the back.
We'll take it.
Thanks, dad.
- What? - What?
- What?
I knew my baby would
appreciate my offer.
To show you
my heart's in
the right place
- I'm giving you
- my favorite driver.
I hope you don't mean
old Eddie.
Well, he's never
had a ticket.
He never drives over 35.
Well, then,
I'll drive you.
Ray, I was just...
I was just tripping.
I love Eddie.
Good.
Are you out of your mind?
- Do you know
- what that limo looks like?
Yes.
It's funky and old and
has a huge back seat.
Big enough for two girls
to change prom dresses in.
Huh?
Sister...
You are a genius.
Y'all want
to fill in the confused?
- We can wear Lisa's dresses
- out of the house
- But take them off
- in the limo.
And change into our
dresses for the prom.
- Mom doesn't get
- her feelings hurt
- And we get to wear
- the dresses we bought.
- What they
- talking about, dog?
I don't know.
Something about taking off
their dresses in the limo.
I'm with it.
Yeah, well, you're
going to be "with it"
- sitting up front
- with old Eddie.
- I'm not paying
- all this money
To look like a penguin.
Aw, man,
what are you saying?
You look fine.
Yeah?
Yeah.
- Hey, put your
- pants on, dog.
Put your pants...
Put your pants on.
Put your pants on, man.
Trippin' up in here.
Hi.
I'm deena.
Oh, and don't you
look good in that tux.
Well, deena, I'm not
feeling this one, okay?
You're right.
It isn't working.
And I'm not going
to try to snow
- a smooth brother
- like you.
Good, because you can't.
Well, that's obvious.
See, you're a man
with a lot of style.
Does it show?
Well, your smile alone
is worth a million dollars.
Now, how are you going
to wear a $39 tux?
See, that's all
I'm saying, deena.
Uh, tell you what.
Why don't you slip out
of the little boy's prom tux
and I'll bring out
our designer line
from the back.
Well, let's get
a little Armani
up in here.
Yes, sir.
A man with your
impeccable taste
will be much happier
with our high-end line.
High-end. Now,
that's me all day.
Okay.
Mattie, don't put
that cheap instamatic
on my tripod.
Down in front.
I'm trying to focus.
Flash cubes?
They still make those?
I'm using one, ain't I?
Get ready! Get ready!
Here come the prom queens!
- Ray, get out
- the way.
- You're blocking
- Mattie's sh*t.
Me? I'll remind you
that I'm the one
with the 35-millimeter slr
- autofocus
- wide-angle sports cam.
You also got
your wide-angle butt in my sh*t.
Ray. Ray, ray.
Oh, wait till
you see our girls.
They look so beautiful
ooh, you'd swear
it was me going
to the prom.
Oh...
Ray, look at our babies.
Ray:
Yeah, but babies?
- They're stunning
- young women.
- Did windbreakers
- come with those dresses?
- If not, I've got
- a couple pullover sweaters.
No, thanks, dad.
Are the guys here yet?
Forget about them.
- We've got to take
- some pictures
Of our beautiful girls
in their beautiful dresses
that I made.
Go ahead, y'all.
Get to snapping.
Aw, man, don't tell me
my batteries are dead.
I've been saying that
since the day I met you.
Just shut up and switch cubes.
Oh, come in.
Boy, blacula
ain't got nothing on you.
Deena, huh?
You know it.
Well, look at you.
You look like the angel
on top of a Christmas tree.
Thanks.
And you look like...
The guy on top
of a wedding cake.
What can I say?
Tia, you're really
working that dress.
Aw, thanks.
Well, you know
- this will look
- even better on my other...
Wrist.
- Well, um,
- we'd better get going.
- We want to make
- a big entrance
With these great dresses.
Hold it. Group sh*t.
- Mattie:
- Uh...
You want me
to get this one, ray?
Just take the picture.
Tia:
Tamera, something's
wrong with my dress.
- Tamera: - Well, turn
- On the light.
Where is it?
Right there.
Oops. I've got my leg
in the armhole.
- When I was
- your age
We used to ride
in the back
with the girls.
Don't ask, Eddie.
- Hey, roll up
- that window now!
Boy, you want to live
to see the prom?!
- Both:
- Roll up the window!
And keep it up!
Now I see why
you're riding up front.
Tamera, girl,
you look good.
- Tamera:
- You, too.
Ooh, I wish we had
a full length mirror.
Tia:
Well, I'll just
lie down on the floor
and you can look at me.
Oh, boy, you look
even more beautiful
than before.
Aw, thanks.
That's so sweet.
Tyreke, we're taking the four
best dressed girls to the prom.
Is this night going
to be perfect, or what?
Hey, guys.
You made it just in time.
Jon b's about to go on.
- Hold up.
- This prom is so overrated.
Let's go
to the movies instead.
Girl, are you buggin'?
I want to show off
my dress.
Trust me.
They've been seen.
So, y'all ready
to get your groove on?
No. I'm ready
to get my groove out.
Excuse me.
Tamera, wait up!
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
- Our perfect prom
- night is ruined.
- We cannot wear these gowns
- in there.
- And why not?
- Everyone else is.
Exactly!
Guys, we've waited
- and we are not
- going in there
Looking like members
of the prom drill team.
Quit bugging.
Okay, all we have to do
is change into the dresses
mom made us.
- Right!
- Yes!
Oh, thank goodness
you have a talented
and thoughtful mom.
- Let's go find
- Moby d*ck.
Okay.
Oh, there she blows!
Wait!
What?!
It's locked!
Wouldn't you know
dad would give us
- a responsible
- driver!
- Are we supposed
- to stand around out here
And wait for Eddie?
Unless you can pull
him out of your hat.
Oh... open!
Open! Open!
Open... open... open.
Here you guys are.
Look, Jon b is
blowing it up.
Come on back.
Forget the dress thing.
Yeah. Are all you guys
- in some kind of club
- or something?
Steven, chill, chill.
God.
Now look, okay,
I feel for you, all right
and you're my girls
so, I'm going to hang
with you...
Out here in the parking lot...
In the cold...
On our senior prom night...
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
- Right after Jon b
- finishes singing.
- Come on, Steven,
- I want to get up front.
Right behind you, baby.
- I've worked on this car
- a thousand times.
I can get us in.
You think you can?
- Yeah. I just need
- like a coat hanger.
- We've got hangers
- on our dresses!
Yeah.
In the car.
Never mind.
Okay, okay, uh...
We can use Jordan's
little coat hanger arms.
- Listen, I'll pry the window
- open a cr*ck.
- Then you reach in,
- and pull it down.
Hey, I've been
working out.
Just do it.
Always got
to say something.
- My arm might not
- fit in there.
- Just-just do it!
- Do it!
He's opened it.
You got it?
Yeah. I got it.
All right.
Mama, daddy, sister, brother!
Somebody, help!
- Tia: - Make it stop!
- Make it stop!
- Jordan:
- Oh, no!
- My fingers!
- I'm going to sue!
Somebody call Johnny Cochran!
Oh, my poor baby.
Let me see!
Oh, you got a
little window dent.
Ow!
- What's wrong
- over here?
Nothing.
Then what you whimpering for?
Painful arthritis.
Plus, I'm sad
I'm missing the prom.
Uh-huh.
Look like to me
- you was trying to
- hot-wire the car.
No! No, I was just trying
to disarm the alarm.
Wait a minute.
That didn't come out right.
- Officer,
- this is our limo.
We're trying to get
our prom dresses out.
Uh-huh. That's funny.
Look like y'all are wearing
prom dresses.
No, no. We need to get
our other prom dresses.
- Yeah. They're locked
- in the car.
- Oh, yeah.
- I get it, I get it.
Your backup prom dresses
that all the girls bring.
Oh, no! My fingers
are turning purple.
Alpha base,
this is omega two.
This is Harry.
Look, I've apprehended
four juvenile suspects
on a possible 325.
Request backup.
Some kids was trying
- to break
- into a limo.
Call the cops.
- Don't y'all
- go nowhere.
Hello.
Uh... police?
The police?!
Give me the phone.
- What happened?
- What happened?
- How could that
- have happened?
- What happened?
- What happened?
No. It's not a TV, and
I can't turn her down.
We'll be right there.
Are you going to tell me
or am I going to have
to hit star 69?
- The cops busted
- Tia and tamera
For breaking into a car.
- It's those
- rotten little boys!
Oh, I knew they was no good
the minute I laid eyes
on their bald little heads.
Get the coats.
Oh, yeah.
I would love to give you
my parents' phone number.
I'm honest.
- But see, the pain's
- blocking my memory right now.
- Look, my fingers
- are starting to glow.
Yeah, yeah. Step aside.
My babies! My babies!
Don't you worry!
Mama's here.
Oh, no! We're not wearing
her dresses.
Could you please
just sh**t us
and get it over with?
My girls are innocent!
It's those rotten boys!
They did it!
Who are you?
I'm Lisa Landry
and that's my daughter
- you're trying
- to drag off to jail.
No one's going anywhere.
- Uh, maybe I can
- help, officer.
I'm, uh, ray Campbell.
Yes. This is my limousine
and, uh, that's my
daughter hiding behind it.
Okay.
- And who's claiming
- these two thieves?
- Ray: - One of those thieves
- Works for me.
- The other one with
- the fat fingers...
- That's my daughter's
- boyfriend.
- You don't know my
- pain, Mr. Campbell.
And I don't want to.
- Officer, we can
- handle it from here.
- Then everything
- is okay?
Okay? No,
it is not okay.
Look at what
they're wearing!
- Everything's
- fine, officer.
- Thanks for
- coming out.
- You know, I was
- out here first.
- Technically,
- it's my collar.
Mom, I can explain.
See, tamera and I
we-we loved your dresses
but we had already bought
our own prom gowns.
We didn't want
to hurt your feelings
- so we changed
- in the limo.
Oh, I hate this!
Because we went
behind your back?
No. Because Mattie was right.
- There'll be
- no living with her now.
We are so sorry.
- We wouldn't hurt
- you for anything.
Girls, girls...
No. You got nothing
to be sorry for.
Now, it is
your big night, okay
- and you should be able
- to wear just whatever you want.
And the dresses you picked out,
well, they're beautiful.
- Really! They look
- lovely on you.
Yeah, and they
look lovely on
the other 12 girls
- who are wearing
- 'em, too.
- What?! Oh,
- don't worry, girls.
Now, mama will not let anything
spoil your perfect night.
Ray, open the car door.
What for?
- We got to get our girls
- into some Lisa Landry originals.

up in here.
Yes, sir.
A man with your
impeccable taste
will be much happier
with our high-end line.
High-end. Now,
that's me all day.
Okay.
Mattie, don't put
that cheap instamatic
on my tripod.
Down in front.
I'm trying to focus.
Flash cubes?
They still make those?
I'm using one, ain't I?
Get ready! Get ready!
Here come the prom queens!
- Ray, get out
- the way.
- You're blocking
- Mattie's sh*t.
Me? I'll remind you
that I'm the one
with the 35-millimeter slr
- autofocus
- wide-angle sports cam.
You also got
your wide-angle butt in my sh*t.
Ray. Ray, ray.
Oh, wait till
you see our girls.
They look so beautiful
ooh, you'd swear
it was me going
to the prom.
Oh...
Ray, look at our babies.
Ray:
Yeah, but babies?
- They're stunning
- young women.
- Did windbreakers
- come with those dresses?
- If not, I've got
- a couple pullover sweaters.
No, thanks, dad.
Are the guys here yet?
Forget about them.
- We've got to take
- some pictures
Of our beautiful girls
in their beautiful dresses
that I made.
Go ahead, y'all.
Get to snapping.
Aw, man, don't tell me
my batteries are dead.
I've been saying that
since the day I met you.
Just shut up and switch cubes.
Oh, come in.
Boy, blacula
ain't got nothing on you.
Deena, huh?
You know it.
Well, look at you.
You look like the angel
on top of a Christmas tree.
Thanks.
And you look like...
The guy on top
of a wedding cake.
What can I say?
Tia, you're really
working that dress.
Aw, thanks.
Well, you know
- this will look
- even better on my other...
Wrist.
- Well, um,
- we'd better get going.
- We want to make
- a big entrance
With these great dresses.
Hold it. Group sh*t.
- Mattie:
- Uh...
You want me
to get this one, ray?
Just take the picture.
Tia:
Tamera, something's
wrong with my dress.
- Tamera: - Well, turn
- On the light.
Where is it?
Right there.
Oops. I've got my leg
in the armhole.
- When I was
- your age
We used to ride
in the back
with the girls.
Don't ask, Eddie.
- Hey, roll up
- that window now!
Boy, you want to live
to see the prom?!
- Both:
- Roll up the window!
And keep it up!
Now I see why
you're riding up front.
Tamera, girl,
you look good.
- Tamera:
- You, too.
Ooh, I wish we had
a full length mirror.
Tia:
Well, I'll just
lie down on the floor
and you can look at me.
Oh, boy, you look
even more beautiful
than before.
Aw, thanks.
That's so sweet.
Tyreke, we're taking the four
best dressed girls to the prom.
Is this night going
to be perfect, or what?
Hey, guys.
You made it just in time.
Jon b's about to go on.
- Hold up.
- This prom is so overrated.
Let's go
to the movies instead.
Girl, are you buggin'?
I want to show off
my dress.
Trust me.
They've been seen.
So, y'all ready
to get your groove on?
No. I'm ready
to get my groove out.
Excuse me.
Tamera, wait up!
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
- Our perfect prom
- night is ruined.
- We cannot wear these gowns
- in there.
- And why not?
- Everyone else is.
Exactly!
Guys, we've waited
- and we are not
- going in there
Looking like members
of the prom drill team.
Quit bugging.
Okay, all we have to do
is change into the dresses
mom made us.
- Right!
- Yes!
Oh, thank goodness
you have a talented
and thoughtful mom.
- Let's go find
- Moby d*ck.
Okay.
Oh, there she blows!
Wait!
What?!
It's locked!
Wouldn't you know
dad would give us
- a responsible
- driver!
- Are we supposed
- to stand around out here
And wait for Eddie?
Unless you can pull
him out of your hat.
Oh... open!
Open! Open!
Open... open... open.
Here you guys are.
Look, Jon b is
blowing it up.
Come on back.
Forget the dress thing.
Yeah. Are all you guys
- in some kind of club
- or something?
Steven, chill, chill.
God.
Now look, okay,
I feel for you, all right
and you're my girls
so, I'm going to hang
with you...
Out here in the parking lot...
In the cold...
On our senior prom night...
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
- Right after Jon b
- finishes singing.
- Come on, Steven,
- I want to get up front.
Right behind you, baby.
- I've worked on this car
- a thousand times.
I can get us in.
You think you can?
- Yeah. I just need
- like a coat hanger.
- We've got hangers
- on our dresses!
Yeah.
In the car.
Never mind.
Okay, okay, uh...
We can use Jordan's
little coat hanger arms.
- Listen, I'll pry the window
- open a cr*ck.
- Then you reach in,
- and pull it down.
Hey, I've been
working out.
Just do it.
Always got
to say something.
- My arm might not
- fit in there.
- Just-just do it!
- Do it!
He's opened it.
You got it?
Yeah. I got it.
All right.
Mama, daddy, sister, brother!
Somebody, help!
- Tia: - Make it stop!
- Make it stop!
- Jordan:
- Oh, no!
- My fingers!
- I'm going to sue!
Somebody call Johnny Cochran!
Oh, my poor baby.
Let me see!
Oh, you got a
little window dent.
Ow!
- What's wrong
- over here?
Nothing.
Then what you whimpering for?
Painful arthritis.
Plus, I'm sad
I'm missing the prom.
Uh-huh.
Look like to me
- you was trying to
- hot-wire the car.
No! No, I was just trying
to disarm the alarm.
Wait a minute.
That didn't come out right.
- Officer,
- this is our limo.
We're trying to get
our prom dresses out.
Uh-huh. That's funny.
Look like y'all are wearing
prom dresses.
No, no. We need to get
our other prom dresses.
- Yeah. They're locked
- in the car.
- Oh, yeah.
- I get it, I get it.
Your backup prom dresses
that all the girls bring.
Oh, no! My fingers
are turning purple.
Alpha base,
this is omega two.
This is Harry.
Look, I've apprehended
four juvenile suspects
on a possible 325.
Request backup.
Some kids was trying
- to break
- into a limo.
Call the cops.
- Don't y'all
- go nowhere.
Hello.
Uh... police?
The police?!
Give me the phone.
- What happened?
- What happened?
- How could that
- have happened?
- What happened?
- What happened?
No. It's not a TV, and
I can't turn her down.
We'll be right there.
Are you going to tell me
or am I going to have
to hit star 69?
- The cops busted
- Tia and tamera
For breaking into a car.
- It's those
- rotten little boys!
Oh, I knew they was no good
the minute I laid eyes
on their bald little heads.
Get the coats.
Oh, yeah.
I would love to give you
my parents' phone number.
I'm honest.
- But see, the pain's
- blocking my memory right now.
- Look, my fingers
- are starting to glow.
Yeah, yeah. Step aside.
My babies! My babies!
Don't you worry!
Mama's here.
Oh, no! We're not wearing
her dresses.
Could you please
just sh**t us
and get it over with?
My girls are innocent!
It's those rotten boys!
They did it!
Who are you?
I'm Lisa Landry
and that's my daughter
- you're trying
- to drag off to jail.
No one's going anywhere.
- Uh, maybe I can
- help, officer.
I'm, uh, ray Campbell.
Yes. This is my limousine
and, uh, that's my
daughter hiding behind it.
Okay.
- And who's claiming
- these two thieves?
- Ray: - One of those thieves
- Works for me.
- The other one with
- the fat fingers...
- That's my daughter's
- boyfriend.
- You don't know my
- pain, Mr. Campbell.
And I don't want to.
- Officer, we can
- handle it from here.
- Then everything
- is okay?
Okay? No,
it is not okay.
Look at what
they're wearing!
- Everything's
- fine, officer.
- Thanks for
- coming out.
- You know, I was
- out here first.
- Technically,
- it's my collar.
Mom, I can explain.
See, tamera and I
we-we loved your dresses
but we had already bought
our own prom gowns.
We didn't want
to hurt your feelings
- so we changed
- in the limo.
Oh, I hate this!
Because we went
behind your back?
No. Because Mattie was right.
- There'll be
- no living with her now.
We are so sorry.
- We wouldn't hurt
- you for anything.
Girls, girls...
No. You got nothing
to be sorry for.
Now, it is
your big night, okay
- and you should be able
- to wear just whatever you want.
And the dresses you picked out,
well, they're beautiful.
- Really! They look
- lovely on you.
Yeah, and they
look lovely on
the other 12 girls
- who are wearing
- 'em, too.
- What?! Oh,
- don't worry, girls.
Now, mama will not let anything
spoil your perfect night.
Ray, open the car door.
What for?
- We got to get our girls
- into some Lisa Landry originals.
