Oops. Sorry.
- Why do you have those sunglasses
- on indoors?
- When you're cool,
- the sun never sets.
The guy I bought them from
assured me that they were
perfect lady magnets.
- Hey, Roger, nice glasses.
- Come here.
See what I mean?
Yes, sweet thing?
- -Come closer.
- -How close?
That's good enough.
Thanks, Roger.

Mr. Mitushka, is it true
- that we're getting
- a new auditorium?
- Well, it's the same
- old auditorium
- We're just hooking it up
- with a whole new flav.
- So, basically you're repainting
- the old one?
- Exactly, Tia,
- but it's no longer
Going to be known
as the auditorium.
- It's being renamed
- in honor
Of one of our school's
greatest alumni.
-Who?
-Mr. Casey kasem.
Who?
Casey kasem,
world-famous disk jockey?
You know, Casey's countdown?
Who?
He's also the voice
of shaggy on Scooby-doo.
- Oh! - Oh!
- Oh!
He went here?
Yes.
- He walked
- these very halls.
Hey, maybe I have
his old locker.
Now, that would be
the b*mb.
My words exactly.
And get this, Casey himself
and his posse will be on hand
for the rededication on Friday.
Now that's the b*mb.
Hey, you guys, look.
- There's auditions
- for two students to perform
At the dedication ceremony
and Casey's picking the winner.
We know who's going to win.
Yeah, marva Blackwell.
Guys, I'm sick
of that marva Blackwell.
- There's got to be
- one of us
Who can b*at her out.
All right, you guys
- I've been working
- on a little something.
♪ Did I ever tell you
you're my hero ♪
♪ you're everything
I wish ♪
Thank you, thank you.
Now, everybody just go back
to what you were doing.
Don't waste your time.
- See, some of us
- are stars
And some of us are...
Well, you.
Marva, you're not
the only talented person
in this school.
- So what are you going
- to do onstage?
Your homework?
Okay.
Maybe I don't have talent
but I know someone
- who can mop
- the floor with you.
- Tia,
- I don't think i'm...
- No, no, not you...
- Tamera.
You guys, she can sing better
than anybody.
- She's got energy, enthusiasm
- and a personality
- That can really light up
- the stage.
Oh, I wish
I were dead.
You know, you're right.
I can sort of see it.
You guys, don't worry.
She'll be dazzling
once she gets past that
"I don't want to live" thing.
So, Eric broke up
with you again, right?
- Now, Tia,
- why do you assume
That that's the problem?
I'm a complicated person.
I think about a lot
of things besides...
Eric.
I think I have a way
to get Eric back.
Oh, forget it.
I don't want that creep back.
What's the plan?
- And it better not
- be stupid.
You sing in the
talent show audition
win, and then Eric will
fall in love with you.
I thought you were going
to have a stupid idea.
She broke up
with Eric again, huh?
Yes, so, please try
to be sensitive.
Well, I'm sorry, tamera
- but you were too good
- for him anyway.
Besides, there's plenty
of other guys at that school.
Not really, mom.
She's gone through them.
Let's see, um...
There was l.J. Lamar
boney frasier, Kevin tousaint,
Shawn Fordham...
All right, all right.
- Will you stop
- being so sensitive?
Oh, please.
Hello, Lisa.
Well, you seem
pretty happy, ray.
You want to know why?
Yeah.
You finally heard
from that woman you like?
Uh, no.
- You got rid
- of those pounds
- You've been trying
- to get rid of?
Well, actually,
I'm up an l-b or two.
- Got the dent out
- of your Mercedes?
What dent?
Ooh, nothing.
Maybe you should stop while
I'm still relatively happy.
I heard from my accountant today
- and my retirement account
- is up 18 percent!
Oh, that's great, ray.
Here you are,
a man with no girlfriend
a banged-up car,
blowing up like a balloon
and you still find joy
in the little things.
- Would lending me
- ten dollars
- Be one of those things
- you find joy in?
- Lisa, why are you always trying
- to borrow money?
You've got to learn
to live on a budget.
I can live on a budget.
I just do better
living over a budget.
Lisa, sit down.
Look, anyone should be able
to get by on $20 a week
personal spending money.
You can't do that.
I most certainly can.
Prove it.
You want me to?
Yeah.
Okay, I'll prove it.
Look. Here,
you take my credit cards
my a.T.M. Card
and all my extra cash.
Ooh, thanks.
No, no, no.
I haven't finished.
Give me back $20.
- I'm going to make this last
- an entire week.
- You just stand back.
- No problem.
I'm resourceful.
You just watch and learn.
I'm here to collect the money
- for the discovery girl cookies
- you ordered, Mr. Campbell.
That will be $12.
Um... I moved.
I want my money,
you flake!
Hey, give me my change!
Mr. Mitushka?
Yes?
Why are all these
regular people here?
School policy.
We have to have someone
for you to compete against.
- Besides, there's a lot
- of talented kids
In this school.
Okay, next up,
Kevin and knothead.
- Ooh, here we are,
- Mr. Mitushka.
Go, baby.
What about me, dorko?
You too, knothead.
- Hey, rog-man, check out
- the k*ller ending
To my camp song.
Whoo... ow!
Whoo-hoo! Whoo!
Whoo!
- Do you have another guitar,
- Steve?
No.
Oh, man.
It's okay, Kevin.
It happens to the best of us.
It wasn't me.
- He's the one
- who wouldn't talk.
Kevin, maybe you want to go see
the school nurse?
You picked a fine time
to get tongue-tied.
Ow!
Okay, tamera Campbell,
you're next.
- I don't want
- to do this.
My heart's not in it.
Just do the best you can.
- Just better
- than marva, okay?
Get down with your bad self,
girlfriend.
Just go.
Oh.
What key?
The key of down.
All right, people.
Atencion!
I have the results
of the audition.
Now, of course,
you were all funky and fresh.
But the students
who will perform for Casey kasem
at the rededication ceremony
are...
Marva Blackwell
and tamera Campbell.
You're toast.
You wish, twin girl.
Tamera.
Yes, Eric?
- It was so stupid of me
- to kick you to the curb.
You forgive me?
Well, I don't know.
I was pretty hurt.
-Okay.
-Yeah. I'll call you.
Hey, Tia, did you hear that?
- Eric and I
- are back together.
Now I don't have to sing
in that stupid competition.
- Wait, tamera,
- you've got to sing.
You've got to b*at marva.
- I don't care
- about b*ating marva.
Tamera, you don't care
about anything.
Well, what's your problem?
- Tamera, you've got
- a lot of potential
- But nobody ever
- gets to see it.
- Don't you want
- to get out there
And show what you can do
for once in your life?
No, not really.
So you're going
to let marva
get the spotlight.
Yeah, I guess so.
But you can't do that!
Why not?
Look, I made a little bet
and if marva wins
I'm going to have
to do her homework.
- What's so bad
- about that?
I'm going to have to do it
until she graduates.
Oh, man.
Well, if you do her homework,
who's going to do mine?
Oh, please be a silver dollar.
Please be a silver... dollar.
Oh, a food boy pog!
Dad, what are you doing?
Uh, uh, fluffing
the cushion.
- Lisa's spot is
- getting a little low.
Dad, I've had
better luck
with your easy chair.
Oh, don't bother.
I check hourly.
Oh, man!
Dad, I thought
- you were supposed
- to make $20 last for a week.
Well, not all of my
expenses were fair.
- For example, those
- discovery girl cookies
Are for everyone.
- Yeah. You want
- a vodeodo, dad?
No-deodo.
Um, by the way, tamera
- I think it's great that
- you've entered that contest
- And I know you're
- going to win.
Well, thanks, dad.
- Uh, is there
- any prize money?
I only have 50 cents left
and it's got to
last me six days.
Dad, why don't you
- just go up to Lisa
- and tell her
You've run out of money?
What, are you nuts?
Can you lend me some
of your allowance?
What are you, nuts?
Never mind.
- I've got to get
- out of this house
Before I put my last 50
cents in the swear jar.
Excuse me, woman.
Ugh, this is so sad.
Ray!
H-Huh..?
You're not stealing
from the swear jar?
No! Actually, I'm putting
a quarter in the swear jar.
I had loose lips earlier today.
I'm glad you're here.
I'm helping the school
arrange for Casey kasem
and I'll need to reserve
your regency stretch limo
to pick him up Friday.
Well, in that case,
I'll extend the school
- my friendly five
- percent discount.
- You think they could
- pay in advance?
- We need a little more
- than a five percent discount.
How much more?
95% more.
In other words,
it's a freebie.
- No,
- those words will do.
What a magical evening.
The house is packed.
And call me crazy
but I think Mary hart
of TV's entertainment tonight
is in the house!
What?
Oh, no.
- It's just Mr. Chadway,
- the art teacher.
- I've got to go look
- for Casey kasem.
By the way, Tia,
I brought my geometry book
in case you want to get
a head start on my homework.
Look, the fat lady
hasn't sung yet.
Not that my sister
put on some weight.
- It's just
- a figure of speech.
Ah, never mind.
You're going to lose.
Well, good luck, tamera.
I'll be
front-row center.
I'll be looking for you.
Tamera, where
have you been?
Tia, Eric's so great.
I've never been happier.
You were supposed to
go on in five minutes.
- You going to
- rehearse your song?
Okay, okay, okay.
- ♪ I'm going down
- 'cause you ain't around... ♪
Wait, tamera.
That's terrible.
- The song is supposed to be
- full of pain and heartache.
But I don't have
pain and heartache.
- If you don't find some
- in five minutes
- I'll give you
- pain and heartache
- Because I'll be doing
- marva's homework
For the rest of my life!
- Well, gosh, Tia, I feel
- terrible about this
But in a happy
kind of way.
- Okay, tamera,
- I'm going to have to do
- Something I
- didn't want to do
But it's the only way I know
to make you miserable.
One word...
"Lulu."
Oh, Tia, why?
Why?
Of all things, why did
you have to go there?
Well, I'm sorry.
You mean Lulu,
the little puppy that ran away?
Oh, no. Lulu!
That's right, tamera,
relive it, feel the pain.
- The poor little guy
- won't come back
- And he probably never
- found a good home.
Tia, we did
everything we could.
We put posters
everywhere.
It did no good.
Tamera, what are you
smiling about?
Well, remember we put
one of those posters
on the telephone pole
in front of Donna
Brock's house?
So?
So she had a
big brother Otis
who had a best friend
named... Eric.
Oh, you're hopeless.
I miss Lulu.
What is it, Roger?
- I've got to get
- tamera depressed.
I know. Maybe this
will do the trick.
- Look who's
- getting hugged up.
This is terrible.
Tamera will de devastated.
And that young man
who passed through that arch
grew up to be Casey kasem.
Thank you. Thank you very much,
fellow rough riders.
And so now it's with a great
sense of pride and honor
that I hereby dedicate
the brand-new
Casey kasem center
for the performing arts
formally known
as the auditorium.
- So now, Casey, if you'll
- please cut the ribbon?
All right.
Um, where are
the giant scissors?
Mrs. Finkle, where
are the giant scissors?
- Doggonit,
- don't shake your head.
You had them.
Yes, you did.
We don't really need
giant scissors.
But it's fresher
when you cut them!
But, hey, it's your
auditorium, so go, baby.
Mrs. Finkle...
Thank you very much,
Mr. Mitushka.
I have the honor and pleasure
to introduce the finalists
for the first annual
golden Casey award.
Ladies and gentlemen:
Please welcome marva Blackwell.
♪ When I have
a brand-new hairdo... ♪
- Roger: So, when are you going
- to tell tamera
About marva and Eric?
I'm going to do
it right now. Okay.
- Uh, tamera, I have
- to tell you something.
Tia, will you give up?
I've never been happier.
I'm sorry. I hate to see
you lose your bet to marva
but now what Eric
and I are back together
nothing you can say
will bring me down.
So, what did you
want to tell me?
Uh... do your best
and whatever happens,
happens,
and remember tamera,
you're a terrific person
- and you don't need a guy
- to make you happy.
Oh, thanks, Tia.
That makes me feel great.
And now, it's time
for our other finalist...
A gifted young lady
who can really sing the blues.
Tamera Campbell.
Well, is she devastated?
- Oh. I just
- couldn't do it.
Are you crazy? You're
going to lose the bet.
Yeah, but I'd rather do
marva's homework forever
than hurt my
sister's feelings.
This is more touching
than the Lulu story.
♪ Is slowly, slowly
driving me insane ♪
♪ Everything's
been going wrong ♪
♪ why'd you have
to say good-bye? ♪
♪ I can't stop these tears
from falling from my eyes ♪
♪ 'Cause you
ain't around, baby ♪
Both these finalists
are wonderful talents.
But I've made my decision.
The winner of the first annual
golden Casey award is...
Tamera Campbell.
Oh, tamera, you
were incredible!
Oh, honey, I almost
believed that you were
a washed-up, depressed,
down 'n' out loser.
Well thanks, Lisa.
See? I told you they
were here, Mrs. Finkle.
Oh, tamera, honey,
you were fabulous.
- You should be
- so proud of yourself.
- I would take you
- out to celebrate
- But I don't have
- any more money left.
- Ray, don't worry
- about that.
- I got your wallet
- right here.
- You're going
- to take us
- To a really nice,
- expensive restaurant.
Well, great! Hey..?
Ray, there you are.
- I didn't finish
- telling you
The story about funkadelic.
Run like the wind, ray.
There were five guys
from Philadelphia...
Tamera, you
sang so beautifully.
How did you get over
your happiness?
- I just thought
- about Eric and marva
Hugging and kissing.
All of a sudden, I got
overcome with misery.
Tamera, I'm so sorry
you found out.
Who told you?
- What are you
- talking about?
I was just imagining
the worst possible thing
so I'd feel bad.
- You mean they are
- back together?
- Yeah, but remember
- what I said?
You don't need a guy
to make you happy.
Yeah, you're right.
I've got my sister,
my family and my friends.
- Yeah, and things
- could be worse.
Remember when you lost Lulu?
Lulu...
I'm sorry, tamera...
Tamera, I can't thank you
enough for winning that bet.
- I sure didn't want
- to do marva's homework.
Yeah. That would
have been horrible.
You done with mine yet?
In a minute.
Oh, Tia, by the way,
- you never told me what the
- other half of the bet was.
What does marva have
to do since she lost?
- I thought I
- mentioned it to you.
Mm-mm.
Hey, marva!
You missed a spot.
- I think I have a way for you
- to get Eric back.
Oh forget it, I don't want
that creep back.
What...
God!
- Tamera, I think I have a way
- for you to get Eric back.
Where'd she go from?
Where is she going..?
What's the plan, and it
better not be a stupid idea.
- What you do is, sing
- in the talent show audition
- Win, and Eric will
- fall in love with you.
I thought you said
there was... darn it!
