05x20 - Prom Night

[bunniefuu]

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.
