Once upon a time, you used
to be able to see the sink.
- You could see it again
- if you'd wash the dishes.
Excuse me,
but for the past two weeks
- I have been busy making dresses
- for your charity fashion show.
- I just wanted to raise money
- for the big brothers.
- It was your idea
- to dress up the sisters.
- Ooh! That reminds
- me.
- Ray, have you seen - that copy I wrote
- For the emcee?
Yeah, I think I saw it
- on the coffee table
- under a stack of mail
- Right beside a pile
- of coats and a chair.
- Oh... you're going to
- have to come with me
Or draw me a map.
Just stay close to me.
- You know, you
- guys really need
- To start cleaning up
- around here
- 'cause if I trip
- over something
I'm suing somebody.
What? Don't look at me.
sh**t, I have no time.
I work.
I heard that.
- You don't have a job,
- tamera.
- I was referring
- to the "don't look at me" part.
Knock, knock. I'm in.
- Hey. What's up?
- Check it out.
My parents are giving me
the end of the year jammie jam.
Another garage party
at your grandma's?
That was a good one.
- You didn't have a problem - when
you were eating - Grandma's chicken.
Uh-huh. Eating and
running, all three
of y'all.
This year, the jam is
at club infinity.
- What?
- Club infinity?
- Oh, you know
- what this means.
- All:
- Time to shop.
Hey, you want to help us
pick out our new dresses?
- You know...
- I would but, dang,
I got the English patient
on pause at the crib.
It's a movie.
I was in tears
before I left.
Come on, Lisa. We gonna
be late for rehearsal.
- Yeah, I'm coming.
- I'm coming.
You know who's
going to clean all
this up, don't you?
Uh-huh. The new housekeeper.
♪ 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 ♪
- Ray: Thank you very
- much, Mrs. Fuller.
- Your housekeeping credentials
- are very impressive.
Good-bye now.
Scratch her off the list.
- Ray, that woman has references
- from the mayor.
So? I don't know him.
Come on, ray, we have
interviewed 14 housekeepers
- and you have found something
- wrong with every one of them.
- Well, I'm particular about
- letting strangers into my home.
- I'm still not used
- to you being here.
Come on, wake up.
Ray, this mess is
getting out of hand.
Look, Tia's already
caught some rats.
Mom, they're mice
- and part of my
- science project.
Now, the big one is Jacques.
He gets a high-fat diet.
And the little thin
one, his name is Gus.
He's on a low-Cal diet.
I think the one
on Jenny Craig is dead.
Gus is just resting.
- Come on, wake up, Gus,
- wake up.
Yo, Gus.
Hi, dad.
Oh, you're looking
kind of buff there.
You been pumping iron?
Tamera, you're
not a child anymore.
Make it easy on yourself.
If you want something, just ask.
Okay, can I have 200 bucks
to buy a new outfit
for Jordan's party?
- No. See how
- easy that was?
Oh, but, dad...
Tamera, money does
not grow on trees.
If it did,
I'd be outside raking.
Ray, now we got to
decide on one of
these housekeepers.
Tell me, is this about
a stranger in the house
- or are you just too cheap to pay
- somebody ten dollars an hour?
- Girl, they talkin'
- U.S. dollars over there.
You better go get paid.
All right, all right.
No need to beg.
I'll take the job.
Oh, child, please.
The only thing you know
how to clean is your plate.
Uh, Lisa's right, tamera.
- We need someone
- who's serious.
Wait a minute.
You just told me I wasn't
a child anymore, right?
Well... let me prove it.
- Let me show you
- how responsible I can be.
Sorry, honey, but it's
out of the question.
Dad, you won't have to worry
about a stranger in the house.
You're hired.
Ooh, thank you, daddy.
Oh, hold up. I didn't
sign off on this.
- You can always interview
- 14 more people.
- You're hired.
- Yes!
- Now, remember,
- you're our employee
- And we're going
- to treat you like one.
- That's right.
- Our relationship
- Has to be strictly
- professional.
Are we talking vacation time,
sick days and 401?
No. We're talking lysol,
ajax and 409 spray.
- Tia:
- Tamera, stop vacuuming.
- When you
- cleaned my room
- You left the mouse cage
- door open and Gus got out.
- You didn't hoover
- him up, did you?
Uh, your mouse isn't in here.
Gus is from a
controlled environment.
- He's never eaten anything
- that didn't come
From an eyedropper.
Well, if he wants to eat,
- he better learn
- to hunt and k*ll
Because I sucked up that
eyedropper a long time ago.
- Well, aren't you going
- to get the door?
I'm not the maid.
You're the reason employees
climb up the water tower.
Oh, excuse me.
Hey!
Oh, my goodness.
What are you doing here?
- What kind of
- greeting is that?
- It's "home slice, what
- are you doing here?"
Nice to see you, grandpa.
It's nice to
see you, too.
- You know I can't
- get enough
- Of my two favorite
- granddaughters.
Oh! Long time no see,
home slice.
Um... does dad
know you're here?
- Would I be this far in the house
- if he knew I was here?
Uh-oh.
- Don't worry, honey. He'll
- be tickled pink to see me.
I'm just like
a father to him.
Oh, no.
Oh, there's my favorite son.
How you doing?
Your only son, dad.
And I'm out of checks.
- Why do you assume
- I want something?
Because I know you.
And because... there's a buggy
parked out in my driveway.
Son, that is not a buggy.
- That's my newest
- business venture.
It's Campbell's
Camelot carriages.
- Look, I figured if they
- have carriage rides
- In New York,
- Chicago and New Orleans,
Why not in Detroit?
You want to pull
people around the
motor city by horse?
Why not? People in Detroit
like romance.
Well, most people.
And I have everything I need
to start my business...
Except for a horse...
Of course, of course.
Don't tell me.
- You want me to give you
- the money to buy the horse.
- Son, I'm insulted
- that you think
I'd come here just
to get money from you.
- I need a place
- to keep the horse, too.
When I volunteered
- to help you with this
- charity fashion show
- I didn't volunteer to be
- your personal flunky.
Ray, you're not my flunky.
You're more like my roadie.
- I hope this one isn't
- going up here, too,
- Because my arms
- are getting numb.
This one? Oh, no. This one
I made for Halle Berry.
- Halle Berry
- is your client?
- No, but, if she ever calls,
- I got a dress for her.
If she ever calls,
I got a man for her.
Hey, boss, can you hook
me up with my check?
- Tamera, you've been our
- housekeeper for two days.
- The laundry still isn't done.
- The dishes are piled - In the sink.
- I could write my name
- in the dust on the coffee table.
Oh. Well, can you hook me
up with an advance?
An advance?
- Yeah. Jordan's
- party is tonight
- And I need to pick up
- my new dress.
Well, that's too bad.
No work, no pay.
What kind of job is that?
Tamera, we agreed this would be
a professional arrangement.
Now, as your employer,
I am telling you
you can't leave the office
until your work is done.
Okay, well...
In that case, I quit.
- I'm not your employee
- anymore, dad.
I'm your daughter.
So, I can go to the party.
Well, in that case, I'm your
father, and you're grounded
and you may not go to the party
until your chores are done.
What?
Dad... you can't do that.
This is Jordan's big night.
I've got to be there.
You also have to learn
responsibility.
But I'll never finish in time.
- Well, tamera, honey,
- I'm sorry
But I have to side with
your father on this one.
Well...
You have ruined my life.
I hope you're happy.
- I'm happy.
- You happy, Lisa?
- Never been happier.
- Okay.
- And Jordan said
- that the deejay
Is going to be the b*mb.
- This is gonna be
- the jam of the year.
- Yeah, and if
- I wasn't going
- You'd be
- the best-dressed girl there.
Girl quit playing.
You know I look good.
- Now, are you sure - I shouldn't wear
- My new shoes?
- Girl, I told you,
- those are not dancing shoes.
- By the end of the night,
- you'll be begging for corn pads.
This is the type of
party where you'll
- get your groove on
- all night long.
Tell her, tamera.
- Did I mention how wrong
- it was of your parents
- To make you
- finish your chores?
- Yeah, tamera,
- don't give up.
- You still can finish
- in time to come with us.
It's the guys!
Gotta jet.
Purse, purse, purse.
Thank you.
Hey, good-looking.
- Tia, you
- look awesome.
Thank you.
- Baby, you
- look tight.
Tamera, you look...
Like this guy
Fred at work.
Oh, really?
Does Fred ignore you
like this?
- Okay, Tia, can you
- do me a favor?
- Tell Jordan I tried, but
- there is no way I can make it.
I'm sorry, tamera.
- Jordan's gonna
- be heartbroken.
Well, if you see
Cassie Perkins
- trying to unbreak his heart,
- tell her I got a houseful
Of poisonous cleansers
and I know how to use them.
Got it.
Night, tamera.
- And keep a lookout
- for Gus, okay?
You missed a spot.
- You better get out of here
- before I change your Cologne.
Well, well, well.
If it isn't the king and queen
on their way to the ball.
Don't worry about us peasants.
I'm glad to see you're
in a better mood, honey.
- See you, pumpkin.
- We'll be back around midnight.
Have fun.
I'll just be here...
Cleaning out the ashes.
Man, the only thing I'm missing
is my fairy godmother.
Tamera.
Grandpa, you scared me.
Is your daddy still here?
No.
- Good. I need you to help me
- hide something.
Shoo.
I bet your dad won't
even notice my horse
in that big ol' garage.
Well, he may get
a little suspicious
when he sees the
washing machine
is full of hay.
We could probably keep
old major right here
- but we'd never be able
- to find him again.
Now you see why
I'll never be able
to go to Jordan's party.
Tamera Campbell,
I am ashamed of you.
How many times have I told you
- where there's a will,
- there's a way?
Great.
I knew you'd have
a scam, grandpa.
There's no scam. If we
buckle down and get to work
- we can have this place
- cleaned up in no time.
No, no, seriously...
What's your angle?
The angle is...
- I'll take the kitchen
- and you take the living room.
You've gone soft, grandpa.
Well, the living room
- and dining room
- are done.
And Lisa's studio
is spotless.
You know,
if I had less hair
- I could be
- the black Mr. Clean.
Well, to me,
you're Mr. Wonderful.
Aw, thank you so much,
grandpa, for helping me.
- That's what
- grandfathers are for.
- Now, you get outta here
- and get to partying.
What? Wait. It's too
late to go to the mall
- and I don't have
- anything to wear.
- That's where you're wrong.
- Just close your eyes.
All right.
All right.
Do you believe
in magic?
I'm a believer.
Oh, my gosh.
Hold it.
Isn't this the dress
from Lisa's studio?
- So? She won't be home
- till midnight.
- Be back by then
- and she'll never know.
Now get to gettin'.
But it's already 11:00
- and I'll barely have time
- for one dance.
- Honey, when you're
- in your sweetheart's arms
One dance can last a lifetime.
Sounds like you've used
that line before, grandpa.
How do you think
I got your grandma?
Okay, I'm in.
But I don't have
any shoes to match.
Oh...
Bam!
Those are Tia's shoes.
- Hey, just hide
- in the shadows
- And keep your feet moving
- as fast as you can.
Yeah, just hide in the shadows
- and keep your feet moving
- as fast as you can.
The story of my life.
( Busta rhymes'
( "dangerous" playing )
- Girl, look at you. I thought
- you ate before you came.
Girl, this isn't for me.
I'm taking this home
for you know who.
- Good looking out
- for your sister, Tia.
My sister?
This is for my mouse.
Hey, maybe I'll take
some home for my rats.
Oh, you're doing
a science project too?
No.
Ugh.
- Steven, stop
- moving your lips
- And start moving
- your hips.
Hey, having a good time?
Oh, yeah!
All right. That's good.
Later.
Jordan! Just the man
I was looking for.
What's up, Cassie?
- You promised me
- a dance, remember?
Oh, yeah. Oh...
Yo, Jordan, party's
over here! Come on.
Oh, my bad. I'm sorry.
You know, if you don't
feel like dancing with me
you don't have to.
Okay, thanks.
Some party.
Whoa.
Jordan Bennett?
Yeah, that's me.
Stop crying, boy. Look inside.
- I got a special delivery
- for you.
Hey, Jordan.
Tamera, you made it.
I couldn't miss
your big night.
You look... Amazing.
Us two old horses will mosey
down the road a piece.
Ha!
Ooh, I love this song.
Then may I have
this dance?
Sure.
Oh, tamera, wait.
You know, now that
you're finally here
- I don't want to share you
- with anybody.
Oh, no.
It's midnight.
I'm sorry, Jordan,
but I have to go.
I'll explain later, okay?
But we only danced once.
Jordan...
In your arms...
One dance can
last a lifetime.
- Sounds kind of old school,
- but I can work with it.
Grandpa Campbell!
You gotta come to me, girl.
I don't know how to put
this thing in reverse.
Horse, make tracks.
Good night, Jordan. I lo...
Ow!
She said she lo... Ows me!
- Thank you,
- grandpa.
You're welcome,
cinderella.
Tell her I have a...
What do I have?
You were about
to call me tamera.
Purse, purse, purse.
- Oh, yeah.
- Thank you. Okay.
