Thank you.

All right. All right,
thank you very much.

All right. Wow.

Welcome to tonight's
television program.

You know, if I was
wearing a name tag,

It would say,
"hello, I'm kenan!"

[Cheers and applause]

And if I had one,
mine would say,

"Hi, my name is kel!"

[Cheers and applause]

Yeah, thank you.
Man, we've got

An action-packed show
for y'all tonight.
Can you sit back--

Hey, kenan. You know,
for once, can you tell me
what tonight's show is about?

No.

Well, c-come on, kenan.
I mean, I'm in it.

No, sorry.

How about a hint?
Just a small hint.

All right, fine
I'll give you a hint.

Tonight's show involves
the word "the".

The? Oh, no.
Wait a minute,
wait a minute,

Wait--wait.

In tonight's show

You want to get
your driver's license

And then we're gonna
get into some trouble

Along theway! Ha!

Ha ha! Yes! Yes! Yes!

I knew that was
too easy of a hint.

Ha! Ha ha, again!

Well, good for you, kel.
You figured it out.

Now let's get to it!

Come on,
mr. Know-it-all!

Yeah, right...

Ha ha! Uh--uh, kenan?
Just because I knew

What tonight's show
was about,

That doesn't
mean I like it.

Kenan? Awwwww,
I wish I didn't know.

Kenan? Awwwww,
here it goes!

[Ding ding ding ding]

[In snobbish accent] breakfast!
Breakfast is served!

Come and get it.
Most important meal of the day.

Wh-what's going on?

Morning, pop.
I made you some
breakfast.

But it's ;
in the morning!

Kenan!

Ahhh!

I--i meant,
morning, mother.

What was all that racket?
What's going on?

Can't a child make
his parents breakfast
once in awhile?

I suppose.

Come on. Eh--
eh--eh. Come on.

Yes, sit down.

Here. These are for you.

Some beautiful flowers
for a beautiful mother.

Ohhhh, mother.

Who are you?

Oh, ho ho, mother,
you're so funny.

[Clears throat]

And now it's time to
present the award for
world's greatest parents.

And the winner is...

Roger and cheryl rockmore!

Ya-a-a-a-a-ay!

♪ Here you are ♪

♪ A lovely tro-ophy ♪

Kenan, what do
you want from us?

Nothing. I just want you
to enjoy your breakfast.

Music.

[Beautiful classical violin
music plays]

Ahhh! Whoa! Ohhhh!

I--i'm sorry.
Your face scared me.

[Music resumes]

Eat, eat. Your sausage links
are getting cold.

Here, let me shine
your head while you eat.

Stop that!

Look, kenan. We know
you're up to something.

Yeah, kenan, just tell us
what it is you want

Or what it is that you broke.

Well, I never.
How insulting!

Kel?

Kenan want to get
a driver's license.

A-ha!

Well, since we're
on the subject,
what do you say?

No, no, no!
Absolutely not, no!

Is that a yes?

Kenan, we have talked about
this a million times.

You'll get your license--
when you turn .

And not a minute sooner.

That's not fair!

Yeah, mark graham
has his driver's license.

Kel, I can handle
this myself.

Mark graham's got
his driver's license!

Why can't I get mine?

Maybe you should worry
less about driving

And more about finishing
your science project.

You know,
she got a point.kel! Shh! Shh!

Um, my science project
isn't due until
next wednesday,

And I'm almost
done with it.

I thought you said
you haven't even
started yet.

Kel! You're not helping.

Uh, look. It would be
a lot easier for me

To finish my science
project if I had
my driver's license.

What does having
a driver's license

Have to do with
your science project?

I don't know.

I'm sorry, kenan,
no driver's license

Until you're
and that's final.

Oh, fine.
Come on, kel.

You know, I'm taking
my trophy back.

And my breakfast, too.

Kenan, this is awful.

I mean, wanting to drive
and not being able to.

I--i mean, I mean,
you must feel
real bad, aww!

Ok, kel.

I mean it's
making me upset.

I mean, the law says
you can drive,

But then your parents
say you can't. Huh?

Huh? I mean, I mean,
that must hurt.

That must really hurt.

Ah! Ah!that's enough, kel!

And then you cook
breakfast for 'em,

Made the sausages
and the eggs,

And I give
a violin concerto--

Look! Look, man.
Just because my parents

Say I can't get
my driver's license

Doesn't mean I can't
get my driver's license.

I'll just go down there
and take the dumb ol'
test without 'em.

But, you don't know
how to drive.

Well, I'll learn.

But you don't
have a car.

And you need a car,
you know, to take
the driver's test.

Oh, yeah. Good point.
All I need is a car then.

Hey, maybe you could
take a horse to
the driver's test.

Maybe your parents would
let you drive a horse.

All I need is
to find some sucker

Foolish enough
to lend me their car.

Hey, fellas.hey, mark.

Both: hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey--

Hey...hey...

Uh-oh.

Why are you smiling
at me like that?

Now you know what it's like
to sit in my dad's car.

Can we go now?

What's the rush?

Let us just
look around
a little more.

Let's let the top
down, huh? Come on.

It's stuck!

Kel! It's not
a convertible!

The top doesn't go down!

Ohhh...

Wh-wh-why are you
putting on your seatbelt?

What? I'm just
trying to make
sure they work.

Hey, mark. What do
you say you teach
me how to drive?

Maybe next weekend if
my dad says it's ok,
we could all go--

[Engine starts]

Hey, mark.
What do you say

You teach me how
to drive now?

Look, I don't
think my dad--

Hey--hey!

He's gonna k*ll me!

[Horn honks]

We're driving!
We're driving!

Care--watch out,
watch out!

Relax, mark.
This is just like
a video game.

I wonder what would
happen if I put
my hand over your eyes.

Mark: ahhhh! Watch
where you're going!

[Tires screech]

Man, if you don't
like the way
I'm driving,

Then get your hands
off my eyes.

What did you
do that for?

Well, you have to
learn how to drive in
all kinds of conditions.

I mean, you don't know
when something like
that's gonna happen.

Yeah, well you
never know when

Something like this is
gonna happen, either.

Ohhh! My goodness!

Just pull over!

I'll pull over
if you let me
use this car

For my driver's
test next wednesday.

No!well, all right.

[Tires squeal]

Ok! Ok! You can
use the car!

Just pull over!

All right.
All right.

Oh, thanks, mark.

Kenan...

I think I'm
gonna be sick.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh, don't do that.
Don't do that.

I'm finished cleaning
out my dad's car, kel.

Sorry.

How can you even
eat after that?

Easy--like this.

Ok, great, thanks.
All right. See ya then.

Great news, guys. I just
set up an appointment

To take my driver's test
next wednesday.

But our science projects
are due next wednesday.

Oh, science projects,
shmience...shmojects.

Look, the test is
early in the morning.

We'll just go to school
a little late.

Can't you just
take the test
a different day?

No, because if I don't
take it on wednesday,

Then I gotta wait
until saturday, and
I don't wanna wait.

But there's only
one problem--

There's a meteor
the size of texas

On a collision
course with earth?!

No. The problem is I
have to have an adult

Over the age of
to go with me

Or else I can't
get my license.

Oh, well, I guess
you can't get your
license. Shucks.

No-no-not so fast, mark.

I think I know someone
that can help me.

♪ Shiny cow,
shiny cow... ♪

Moo-oo-oo-oo.

Chris! Christopher!
Christopolous! Chrissy!

Don't call me chrissy.sorry.

What do you want?

You know, I'm kinda
thirsty, so could
you go around back--

Kel! He was
talking to me.
Oh.

See, chris, I'm going
to get my driver's
license next wednesday.

Oh, that's great.

You know, mother
still won't let me
get my driver's license.

Well, look, I need
an adult to come with
me to take the test.

Why didn't you
ask your parents?

Because they
don't know.

He means, they
don't know how much
it would mean to me

If you would help me
get my license.

Good cover.

Kenan: kel--just--shh!

Uh, see, my parents are
really busy next wednesday,

And my dad thought that maybe
you could help me out.

Your father wants
me to do this?

Yeah. I mean,
both my parents

Look up to you as
a kind of...a hero.

A hero...

I don't know
about this, kenan.

Huh? Well, if you
don't believe him,

Why don't we just
call his daddy up
right now, huh?

Ok. Let's do it.

Fine! There you go.

No--no--no!
Don't do that!

Give it here.
Gimme that.

He don't wanna
believe nobody.

Get off the--

Don't call
nobody just yet.

Why don't you wait...
Minutes?

Ok.

Come on!

It's ok, don't you
worry about that.

You're such
a good little cow,
yes, you are.

[Ring]

[Ring]

[Ring]

Chris--

Um, I mean, um...

[In deep voice] hello?

Hi, mr. Rockmore.
This is chris.

Chris. How are you?
What can I do for you?

Uh, kenan said you
wanted me to go
with him

To get his
driver's license?

Are you accusing
kenan of lying?

How dare you?

Oh, no, no, no, no.
I just wanted to
make sure

He wasn't trying to
pull one over on me.

You know,
chris potter
is no sucker.

Oh, of course not.

Hey, chris.
This is kenan's mom.

Oh, hi,
mrs. Rockmore.

Are you enjoying talking
to kenan's dad?

'Cause that's who
you're talking to--
kenan's dad.

That's right, he's
talking to me, cheryl,

So hang up
the phone, heh heh.

Do you have a cold,
mrs. Rockmore?

Your voice sounds
kinda funny.

Oh, no, no.
She's fine.

Cheryl, hang up
the phone, dear.

I'll hang up
the phone when
I want to.

Nobody is
the boss of me!

Chris--chris, could you
hold on...just a second?

I have...um...
[Mumbles]

Nobody...is the boss...
Of cheryl...rock--

What are you doing?!

Hello?

Oh, good.
You're back.

Huh? Who is this?

Oh, ha ha ha ha.
Very funny,
mr. Rockmore.

Now I can see where
kenan gets his
sense of humor.

You see, I figured
if chris was
talking to roger

He'd probably wanna
know where cheryl was.

That makes no sen--

So, anyway, since I'm
a hero to you and all,

I'll chaperone him
on wednesday.

Uh, what time? ?

I think you have
the wrong number.

Oh...?

'S fine.

Good. I'll talk
to you later.

Phew! That was close.

Yeah. Lucky for you
I saved your butt.

[Whistling]

Hey, kenan.

Ready for your
driving test?

Yep. I'm just studying
for the written part
of the test now.

Hey, what's that?

Oh, it's my science project.
It turns grape soda
into orange soda.

How about that.

Science project!

Yeah, you know,
our science project.

They're due tomorrow.
Where's yours?

I don't have one.

You don't have one?

No, I was studying for
my driver's test and
I guess I forgot.

We were given this
assignment a month ago.

I know.

I mean, it's the most
important assignment
of the year.

I know.

And if you don't do
this assignment,

You might not graduate.
And then you know what
else gonna happen?

You're gonna end up
on the street.

Gonna end up on
the street real cold.

And then you're gonna
be talkin' to the trees.[Whimpers]

Hi, mr. Bush.
Ahhhh!

Ahhhh!

Well, good night.

N-n-not so fast,
skippy.

Now, I'm gonna make
that science project,
and you're gonna help me.

Together, we can do it,
even if it takes all night.

Are you with me?

[Snores]

Ohhh.

[Snores louder]

[Snoring]

[Clock ticks]

Phew!

Kenan! Good morning! Ha ha!

Ready for your big
driving test? Yeah!

Oh! Kenan!

Wake up! Hey, man,
wake up.

Kenan? Ohhh....

[Ding ding ding ding...]

Mmm? Hey, I almost forgot,
I gotta go to sleep.

Oh, I'm so sleepy.

No--no--no, no-o-o-o,
no, you can't--

No-o-o-o-o, no--
no-o-o-o-o, you can't
go to sleep.

Oh, man, you gotta take
your driver's test.

[Knocking on door]

[Mumbles]

No, that's ok.
I'll get it.

Oh, hey, mark.

I'm in no mood
to high-five.

I got my dad's car.
Do we have to do this?

Huh? Uh...oh...
Pillow...

What's with him?

Uh...uh, nothing.

Ha ha ha. Look at him.
He's all right.

Kel: hi, I'm kenan.
I'm ready. I'm ready.

Ha ha. He looks
great to me.

He looks awful!
He can't drive like this!

Up--up--yes, I can.
I can drive.

I gotta take the test.
Now, come on.

Good morning.
How's everyone
this morning?

Um, fine, fine, real fine.

We're not going anywhere
we're not supposed to.

Uh, good.

Mark! What are
you doing?

You're giving
it away.

You might as well
have told him that

You brought your
dad's car--

You might as
well have told him

That you brought
your dad's car

So that you could
take us to school

'Cause we're turning in
our science projects.

What did you make there?

Uh, it's a volcano
that spews lava.

And what is
all this mess?

You didn't
stay up all night

Working on that,
did ya?

N-nah, I didn't stay
up all--night,

'Cause I finished it
a long time ago when I did

You know, the volcano
and the pretty clouds...

Whatever you say.

Come on. We gotta
go pick up chris

And then get car
test and take it.

Oomph! You can't
drive like this!

Oh, yes I can.

I just need someone
to slap my face.

Kel, come on,
slap my face.

No, I don't wanna
slap your face.

Come on, do it.
It'll help me wake up.

I can't slap
your face, but I
know what I can do.

I'll punch you in
the stomach, ok?
No, no--

Huh? Huh? Feel good?

[Gasping] let's go.

You wake up?

Oh, wait a minute.
I almost forgot
my science project.

Kenan? Uh, boys?

What about your volcano?

Oh...

Guess I'll just have to
take it to school for him.

So, anyway, then they
thought that mother
was my girlfriend,

And I said, "no, she's
just dressed that way."

Ooooh.

What's taking
kenan so long?

He said the written
portion would only
take minutes.

Aw, don't worry.
I'll get him.

[Screams] kenan!

What's taking you
so long?!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Um...i'll go get him.

Hey, what's happening?
All right.

Kenan!

W-what are you
doing man, hey?

Hey, mama.

I'm not your mama.

Kenan, you haven't even
started your test yet.

Kenan rocket? Aw, you done
spelled your name wrong.

Kenan, come on, man,
you got to wake up.all right...

Come on, brother.
You got to wake up.

I'll sign for him.

I'm an adult.

Can you give me a second?
I'm trying to grade
his test here.

Oh, sure, sure.
Go right ahead.

You know, I'm
his father's hero.

That's great.
Now would you please
go stand over there?

Over there?

Sure.

All done.

Well--how'd he do?

He got %.

What? Let me see that.

Whoooo! Would you
look at that.

Oh. Ha ha ha ha ha.

You all ready for
your eye exam?

Um...

[In high-pitched
voice] mm-hmm.

Ok, would you move
over here, please?

Ok, um...

Oooh--oh--yeah--
heh heh heh heh.

Take your right hand and
put it over your right eye

And please read
the first rows of
letters on this chart.

E--f--p--t--

Ok, that's great.
Now cover your other eye

And read
the next lines.

L--p--e--d--

P--e--ceeeee--f--d.

Yeah, that's perfect.

Thank you.

Now, if you'll just have
that annoying hero guy
sign that slip,

You're all ready
for the driving portion
of your exam.

Wait a minute.
Before you run off, baby,
let me take your picture.

Uh--uh--[giggles]

Yo, kenan.
Wake up, man.

Ok, here we go.
We're gonna put
the seatbelt on.

Boy, you must be
having a good dream,

I tell ya, 'cause

Oh, uh, here we go.
Ahhhh.

Pull 'em out.
[Grunts]

Ok, now, come on.

Dream about drivin'

I want women.
Awwwww.

I don't know

Is he all right?

Yeah, he's, uh,
just fine.

Ok, so is that
kenan rockmore?

Uh, yes, that's
him, all right.

I can vouch for him.

I'm his adult.

Good for you.

Is he all right?

Um, yes, he's just
in a deep state of...

Of concentration, yeah.

Oh, that reminds me.
He wanted me to
slap him repeatedly

Before he
starts the test.

Man...gah!

Gah!

[Sputters]

Oh...oh, what's up?
How am I doing?

Oh, man, you're doin'--
you're doin' just great,

Try to stay awake,
all right?

It's time to drive.

I'm awake.
I can drive...

Ok, you have your
seatbelt on. Good.

Why don't you
go ahead

And start the
engine up for me.

[Engine turns over]

Great. I'll be
right back.
I want to check
your signals out.

I want you to
turn them on and off
for me, all right?

All right, I can do it,
I can drive, I'm awake.

You know, I don't
have many friends.

How would you like
to come over

And play backgammon
with me and mother?

Please step
away from me.

All right.

Hey--hey--hey!

Kenan! Hey, stop!

Hey! Is that part
of the test?

[Horn honks and tires squeal]

[Crash]

My dad's car!

I'm not responsible
for this, am i?

Ohhhhh!

Well, at least you
have perfect vision

And you aced
your written test.

Excuse me sir--
oh! Ahhhhhhhh!

Daddy! I was trying to
get my uh, driver's license

So I could drive home
and get my science project,

Which I see...works...now--

Kenan!

Why-y-y-y-y-y?!
