05x14 - Rosebud
Posted: 01/09/24 09:22
This is so exciting.
We're going to be
roses together.
I hope, I hope, I hope.
- Chill out, chill
- out, chill out.
You guys, I didn't realize
there'd be so many pledges.
I'm starting to get nervous.
- Girl, please. You have
- nothing to worry about.
- Tia's the
- vice president.
- You're a shoo-in.
- True that.
- My only chance
- is to kiss
Some presidential butt.
And there it is now.
Excuse me.
Wow. I think diavian wants to
be a Rose even more than I do.
Oh, girl, please. Diavian's mom
promised her a new car
if she became a Rose.
- Man. I would give up my car
- if I could be a Rose.
Girl, nobody would want
your yellow gremlin.
There's nothing wrong
with sunshine.
Attention, potentials.
Will everyone
please have a seat?
Hello.
I'm Marissa Davis
- and as the new president
- of roses
I'd like to welcome you
to the rosebud tea.
At this time, take a moment
- to look at the girl
- to your right
And the girl
to your left.
Now say, "see ya"
- because tomorrow
- they probably
Won't be with you.
Unfortunately,
we all can't be roses.
Maybe we shouldn't
have sat next to each other.
And when tamera's
finished chatting
our vice president,
Tia Landry, will tell you more.
Sorry.
Thanks, Marissa.
Now, if you guys make it
into the Rose garden
you'll have to perform
traditional pledge duties
for one week
before becoming a Rose.
This process
allows us to separate
the self-absorbed
from the selfless.
- Do you think
- I should get
The convertible
mustang or a hardtop?
Whatever you get,
I call shotgun.
Together:
♪ 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 ♪
This is nice.
It's been a long time
- since we've been
- to a movie together.
- Well, I figured you were
- between girlfriends
And I needed a break
from all my dates.
Oh, excuse me.
Vivica!
Well, hello, ray.
Lisa.
Mm-hmm.
So, how've you been, Raymond?
- Well, I...
- He's been so busy.
His limousine business
is better than ever
and he's dating up a storm.
- Each girl more
- beautiful than the last.
- Uh, vivica, I thought you
- were moving back to Chicago.
Yeah, so did I.
Well, I was,
but I ran across
- this wonderful
- business opportunity
Right here in Detroit.
- Yeah, well, can't you take it
- back to Chicago with you?
You know, Lisa, I knew you
had a great sense of humor
the first time I saw
one of your dress designs.
- Oh! Well, I knew you had
- a great sense of humor
- The first time you tried
- to slip one of those designs
Over those hips.
Oh, boy, look at the time.
Sorry, but we have to run.
- Good luck with
- your business, vivica.
Oh, I don't need luck.
I've got know-how.
Why were you
so nice to her?
- Oh, Lisa, two people
- can break up
And still be civil
to one another.
- Didn't she look good
- in that dress, though?
Don't you even think about
trying to get back with her.
Hey, tamera.
Where have you been?
- Typing
- Marissa's homework,
Shining her shoes, and
cleaning out her locker.
But now...
I'm all yours.
Good. Then you can type
my paper, shine my shoes
and clean my locker.
That is so not funny.
- You know, tamera I still can't
- believe they talked you
- Into this
- pledging stuff.
- I mean, you've
- always been
- Your own woman,
- a freethinker.
- That's what I like
- most about you.
Jordan, don't worry.
I'm still a freethinker
- and nobody is going
- to tell me what to do.
- Cool. You free to go
- to the movies?
- Oh, I have to check
- with Marissa.
Tamera!
What? It's pledge week.
All right, fine.
Just promise
me one thing...
That you won't become
- one of those
- out-of-control
- Rose-obsessed
- crazy women.
I won't.
And, Jordan, before we go,
you want to guess what this
freethinker has on her mind?
Well, I'm kind of slow.
I need some hints.
Excuse me, tamera...
But my term paper
can't write itself.
- Well, I'm sorry,
- Marissa.
I need her here to help
me lay out the paper.
- I'll be glad
- to help you, Jordan.
Whoo!
- Little shoulder... little
- shoulder problems.
No, it's okay. No,
thanks. I'm all right.
Have it your way.
Coming, tamera?
In a sec.
I'm sorry, Jordan,
but it's butt-kissing time.
- Well, at least somebody's
- getting kissed around here.
Mmm, my pomodoro
sauce is complete.
Mmm...
That's it?
You're not going to cut
- some wienies up
- in there or something?
Gentlemen, we're preparing
a fine, gourmet meal.
No wienies allowed.
- You heard the man... no wienies.
- See you later.
That's cold, man.
- So how are the
- appetizers coming?
Great. Great.
See, we made us
some gourmet vanilla wafers
and cheese snacks.
Go ahead, smell it.
- Vanilla wafers and cheese?
- Yeah.
- Who's going to
- eat this junk?
- Who knew 'nillas and cheese
- could be so tasty?
Hey.
Girl, you look worn out.
What you been up to?
More bud business.
This time, Marissa
ordered me to find
the favorite snack of each Rose
and deliver it to her.
Then where's my peanut cluster?
I ate it for strength.
Well, here.
Try a cheese 'nilla.
You kidding, right?
Man, all I want is a hot shower
and my flannel p.J.S.
And, please, nobody wake me up
- unless it's
- really, really important.
Hey, guys! Guys!
Is that who
I think it is on TV?
It is vivica!
Ray!
Ray, get in here!
- What's all the
- commotion, Lisa?
Look. Miss boob
is on the tube.
Psst. Are you tired
of bumper-to-bumper traffic?
Are you new in town
and want more
than just a quick ride
to and from the airport?
- Don't tell me she's starting
- her own limo service?
Then call vivica's limo service
where we put a little lift
into your... Lift.
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
And you wished her good luck
on her new business.
- I didn't know her new business
- was going to be my business.
So take a ride with me...
or one of my all-female crew.
Hi. I'm Tiffany.
I'm Monique.
And I'm chante.
Give us a call
and we'll take you
anywhere you want to go.
Oh, man.
- What are you
- staring at?
Oh, oh...
Nothing. Nothing.
- I was on my way
- back into the kitchen.
Come on, dog.
Dog! Come on!
Oh...
Can you believe this?
- She learned all about
- the limo business from me
And then started one of her own.
And that sexy part
she stole from me.
Dad, what are you going to do?
I don't know, but I'm not
taking this sitting down.
- Thank you and
- come again.
Bye.
Buds?
Pledges:
Greetings,
most beautiful Rose.
Hi, guys.
Uh, what's going on?
Well, it's the official
rosebud kidnapping.
- Now, buds,
- remove your coats.
Oh, do we have to?
What was that, tamera?
As you wish,
most beautiful Rose.
Uh, I don't remember
pledges having to
do this last year.
- They didn't. I just thought
- it would be cute.
Now, buds,
take your places.
Wow.
Women in pajamas.
- Man, I feel like I've d*ed
- and gone to heaven.
- Keep staring
- and it'll happen.
Uh, over here, Roger.
So what will it be?
I'll have a milk shake.
All:
Moo.
Dag, women, what's
up with that?
Well, see, it's part
of their rosebud initiation.
When you order dairy,
they must moo.
Oh. Well, in that case
- I'll also have
- some, uh...
Hot chocolate.
All: Moo.
And a side of...
Buttermilk.
- All:
- Moo.
- And I'd also like...
- Okay, Roger, that's your limit.
sh**t. And I was just about
to ask for... A milky way.
- All:
- Moo!
Man! Don't have a cow.
Jordan, over here, please.
Aw, sh**t.
Why is he here?
Somebody hide me.
Hi, Jordan.
- So glad that you
- could make it.
- What was with
- the urgent message
For me to meet you here?
- Oh, I just wanted
- to make sure
That you heard me order
a low-fat milk.
- All:
- Moo.
Tia, what's going on?
- Marissa's gone
- power mad.
I don't think
Jordan could hear
the entire herd mooing.
Straight line, please.
Tamera?
Call me Elsie.
Silence.
I'd also like to order
a double latte.
- Both:
- Moo.
- Tamera, I
- didn't hear you.
Maybe you need to have
your ears checked.
And maybe you should assume
grazing position.
What?
Get down on your knees.
Marissa!
They've got to learn
to obey their president.
Now, all of you,
down on your knees.
Girl, what are you doing?
Girl, vroom, vroom!
Tamera? Get down.
Marissa, get real.
Well, if you walk out that door
you can forget
ever becoming a Rose.
Jordan...?
Any of you care to join her?
- Moo.
- Moo.
- I can't believe
- I just walked out on them.
- Well, I'm really
- proud of you
For standing up
to Cruella de Rose.
- I just couldn't
- take it anymore.
- Marissa was completely
- out of control.
- That's right.
- But my baby
- Was completely
- in control.
Hey, tamer...
I don't know why I even try.
Now, are you okay?
Of course I'm not okay, Tia.
- I have never been
- so embarrassed.
- She had no right
- to treat you like that.
- Somebody needs to tell
- Marissa when to step off
- And that somebody
- just might be me.
- Right after I drive off
- the lot in my new mustang.
Mm-hmm.
- We need to come up with a plan
- to get tamera back in.
Forget it. Who wants to be in
a club with a psycho president?
Okay, I'm ready
for the party.
I've got my jammie-jams
for the jammie jam.
You know what?
These cheese 'nillas
are even better
- when you melt
- the cheese.
- Mm-hm.
- I say we package them,
- Make a fortune,
- and retire to rio.
Oh, good idea.
Then we can use
some of the profits
- to save my
- dad's business.
Tamera, your dad's business
will be fine.
- I mean, what clients
- would leave Ray's limos
- For a bunch
- of half-dressed women?
- So far, the Detroit men's club
- and the pistons.
It's just like men
to be interested in women.
Hmm. Poor ray.
- I knew that vivica was bad
- the minute I laid eyes on her.
- Whoa, whoa,
- wait a minute.
- I was the one
- who saw through her
From the beginning.
You, me...
Same thing.
- Ladies, I'd like to make
- an announcement.
Ray Campbell
is fighting back.
Follow me, please.
- What's going on
- in here?
- I want you ladies
- to see
- A hip new commercial
- I'm going to sh**t.
Hip?
You saw vivica's commercial.
I got to make things happen.
I didn't build my empire
- just so vivica could steal it
- from me.
You go, dad.
Sit, sit, sit.
Hmm!
Fellas, let's boogie!
♪ 'Cause you mean
that much to me ♪
You guys,
that was
the b*mb!
I'm calling showtime
at the Apollo.
Uh, can somebody help us up?
- So what do you
- think, Lisa?
- I think I need
- to see you in the kitchen.
Okay, you guys,
work on those steps.
The part for the chorus.
Now remember...
Slide, step, slide...
Whoa!
What's up, Lisa?
Ray, have you lost
your mind?
You look like...
Dancing morticians.
Take those off.
- What is the matter
- with you?
Vivica's
the matter with me.
- I let her do my books,
- schedule my cars
Organize my files.
- I practically started
- her business for her.
- Now I'm gonna b*at her
- at her own game.
Ray... begging
for business?
Oh, you can't stoop
to vivica's level.
- For one, you too old
- to stoop that low.
And for two
you built your business
on honesty, integrity
and quality service.
Now, those are things
she can't steal.
I know.
You're right.
- I don't know what's
- wrong with me.
Well, you were flat
on the first verse
- and you spun
- when you should have slid.
Seriously, though, ray...
You have got to play your game.
- Okay, okay, I'll stick
- with my old commercials.
- But the guys
- are going to be
So disappointed.
Um... I'd like
to thank you all
for coming to this
emergency Rose meeting.
Sorry I'm late.
So what's going on?
- Are some buds
- getting out of control?
Um, actually, Marissa
- I called this meeting
- because you're out of control.
That's impossible.
I'm the president.
Yeah, well,
I'm the vice president
and I say that's very possible.
She's right. You're acting
more like a Thorn than a Rose.
Most beautiful one.
Now, because of you,
Marissa
one of the buds,
- who happens to be
- my sister,
Dropped out due to
the ridiculous demands
placed on her.
Yeah. And if you ask me...
No one asked you.
Well, no one asked me
- if you still have
- a crush on Jordan
But I think it's relevant.
That's not true.
- He's been
- eyeing me.
I can't help it
- that he wants the Rose
- who's in charge.
Look, roses...
I think we all know
what's going on here.
- Roses:
- Mm-hmm.
Now, at this time
I move we reinstate
tamera Campbell
into the sisterhood
of rosebuds.
All in favor say "aye."
- Before
- you answer...
I want you to know...
It's either tamera... or me.
Roses: Aye!
But I didn't...
Look at the girl
to your left
and look at the girl
to your right.
Now say, "see ya."
♪ Here's a story
of a lov... ♪
♪ Tuesday, Wednesday,
happy days... ♪
Hmm.
♪ And we're doing it
our way, yes, our way ♪
- ♪ make all our dreams
- come true... ♪
- Hey, tamera...
- Hmm?
- Guess what
- just happened.
- I just called an
- emergency Rose meeting...
- Mm-hmm.
- And miss Marissa
Just got impeached.
All right!
Wait a minute.
Doesn't that mean
you're the new president?
Yep, yep.
Oh, congratulations, sis.
Well, congratulations
to you, too, tamera.
What for?
Well, tomorrow...
You and the rest
of the buds
become full-fledged
roses.
- We voted you
- back in, tamera!
We won! Isn't this
great, girl?
We can be roses together.
We can go to all the...
Why am I the only one
excited about this?
Now, Tia, look...
Don't get me wrong,
but somewhere in...
Mid-moo
I realized that...
- I didn't want
- to join the club.
What?
But I thought you wanted
to be a Rose, tamera.
No, no, no.
You wanted me
to be a Rose.
Yeah, well... I guess
I did talk you into it.
Tia, it's not
your fault.
- I'm just not
- the club type.
Yes, you are.
You were in
the history club.
- I quit before
- the American revolution.
Okay, well... What about
the Spanish club?
Tres dias.
- You're right... you're
- not a club person.
Tia, we're two
different people.
And that's...
Totally cool.
Oh, my gosh!
- Vivica's made
- the evening news!
What?
- Whatever you do
- don't tell my dad about this.
Reporter:
Local limo diva, vivica Shaw
of take a ride with me limos
has been arrested.
Dad!
Vivica's been arrested!
TV 5's pat Harvey
is at the scene.
- Pat?
- Thanks, Bob.
Vivica Shaw has been taken
into custody today
- for attempting to bribe
- the transportation commissioner
When two police officers
shut down her company...
Take a ride with me...
Because none of her drivers
had valid chauffeur's licenses.
Here they come now.
- Look at her
- trying to hide
- Under that
- cheap old coat.
That's my coat!
Gimme, gimme!
- Can we get
- a statement, miss Shaw?
Anyone want to buy
a slightly used limo?
- Dad, where
- are you going?
I-I got to go see vivica.
Ray, you're not going
to run down there
and try to help her, are you?
- Please, woman,
- this is business.
- I'm going to buy
- a used limo.
And, uh...
Oops!
- Whoa, whoa,
- wait a minute.
I su thra... ah, she...
- I got to go
- see vivica.
- Dad, where
- are you going?
I just told you.
What?
- Vivica is
- the matter with me.
I let her... I let her...
I let her...
We're going to be
roses together.
I hope, I hope, I hope.

I'll have a milk shake.
All:
Moo.
Dag, women, what's
up with that?
Well, see, it's part
of their rosebud initiation.
When you order dairy,
they must moo.
Oh. Well, in that case
- I'll also have
- some, uh...
Hot chocolate.
All: Moo.
And a side of...
Buttermilk.
- All:
- Moo.
- And I'd also like...
- Okay, Roger, that's your limit.
sh**t. And I was just about
to ask for... A milky way.
- All:
- Moo!
Man! Don't have a cow.
Jordan, over here, please.
Aw, sh**t.
Why is he here?
Somebody hide me.
Hi, Jordan.
- So glad that you
- could make it.
- What was with
- the urgent message
For me to meet you here?
- Oh, I just wanted
- to make sure
That you heard me order
a low-fat milk.
- All:
- Moo.
Tia, what's going on?
- Marissa's gone
- power mad.
I don't think
Jordan could hear
the entire herd mooing.
Straight line, please.
Tamera?
Call me Elsie.
Silence.
I'd also like to order
a double latte.
- Both:
- Moo.
- Tamera, I
- didn't hear you.
Maybe you need to have
your ears checked.
And maybe you should assume
grazing position.
What?
Get down on your knees.
Marissa!
They've got to learn
to obey their president.
Now, all of you,
down on your knees.
Girl, what are you doing?
Girl, vroom, vroom!
Tamera? Get down.
Marissa, get real.
Well, if you walk out that door
you can forget
ever becoming a Rose.
Jordan...?
Any of you care to join her?
- Moo.
- Moo.
- I can't believe
- I just walked out on them.
- Well, I'm really
- proud of you
For standing up
to Cruella de Rose.
- I just couldn't
- take it anymore.
- Marissa was completely
- out of control.
- That's right.
- But my baby
- Was completely
- in control.
Hey, tamer...
I don't know why I even try.
Now, are you okay?
Of course I'm not okay, Tia.
- I have never been
- so embarrassed.
- She had no right
- to treat you like that.
- Somebody needs to tell
- Marissa when to step off
- And that somebody
- just might be me.
- Right after I drive off
- the lot in my new mustang.
Mm-hmm.
- We need to come up with a plan
- to get tamera back in.
Forget it. Who wants to be in
a club with a psycho president?
Okay, I'm ready
for the party.
I've got my jammie-jams
for the jammie jam.
You know what?
These cheese 'nillas
are even better
- when you melt
- the cheese.
- Mm-hm.
- I say we package them,
- Make a fortune,
- and retire to rio.
Oh, good idea.
Then we can use
some of the profits
- to save my
- dad's business.
Tamera, your dad's business
will be fine.
- I mean, what clients
- would leave Ray's limos
- For a bunch
- of half-dressed women?
- So far, the Detroit men's club
- and the pistons.
It's just like men
to be interested in women.
Hmm. Poor ray.
- I knew that vivica was bad
- the minute I laid eyes on her.
- Whoa, whoa,
- wait a minute.
- I was the one
- who saw through her
From the beginning.
You, me...
Same thing.
- Ladies, I'd like to make
- an announcement.
Ray Campbell
is fighting back.
Follow me, please.
- What's going on
- in here?
- I want you ladies
- to see
- A hip new commercial
- I'm going to sh**t.
Hip?
You saw vivica's commercial.
I got to make things happen.
I didn't build my empire
- just so vivica could steal it
- from me.
You go, dad.
Sit, sit, sit.
Hmm!
Fellas, let's boogie!
♪ 'Cause you mean
that much to me ♪
You guys,
that was
the b*mb!
I'm calling showtime
at the Apollo.
Uh, can somebody help us up?
- So what do you
- think, Lisa?
- I think I need
- to see you in the kitchen.
Okay, you guys,
work on those steps.
The part for the chorus.
Now remember...
Slide, step, slide...
Whoa!
What's up, Lisa?
Ray, have you lost
your mind?
You look like...
Dancing morticians.
Take those off.
- What is the matter
- with you?
Vivica's
the matter with me.
- I let her do my books,
- schedule my cars
Organize my files.
- I practically started
- her business for her.
- Now I'm gonna b*at her
- at her own game.
Ray... begging
for business?
Oh, you can't stoop
to vivica's level.
- For one, you too old
- to stoop that low.
And for two
you built your business
on honesty, integrity
and quality service.
Now, those are things
she can't steal.
I know.
You're right.
- I don't know what's
- wrong with me.
Well, you were flat
on the first verse
- and you spun
- when you should have slid.
Seriously, though, ray...
You have got to play your game.
- Okay, okay, I'll stick
- with my old commercials.
- But the guys
- are going to be
So disappointed.
Um... I'd like
to thank you all
for coming to this
emergency Rose meeting.
Sorry I'm late.
So what's going on?
- Are some buds
- getting out of control?
Um, actually, Marissa
- I called this meeting
- because you're out of control.
That's impossible.
I'm the president.
Yeah, well,
I'm the vice president
and I say that's very possible.
She's right. You're acting
more like a Thorn than a Rose.
Most beautiful one.
Now, because of you,
Marissa
one of the buds,
- who happens to be
- my sister,
Dropped out due to
the ridiculous demands
placed on her.
Yeah. And if you ask me...
No one asked you.
Well, no one asked me
- if you still have
- a crush on Jordan
But I think it's relevant.
That's not true.
- He's been
- eyeing me.
I can't help it
- that he wants the Rose
- who's in charge.
Look, roses...
I think we all know
what's going on here.
- Roses:
- Mm-hmm.
Now, at this time
I move we reinstate
tamera Campbell
into the sisterhood
of rosebuds.
All in favor say "aye."
- Before
- you answer...
I want you to know...
It's either tamera... or me.
Roses: Aye!
But I didn't...
Look at the girl
to your left
and look at the girl
to your right.
Now say, "see ya."

Just got impeached.
All right!
Wait a minute.
Doesn't that mean
you're the new president?
Yep, yep.
Oh, congratulations, sis.
Well, congratulations
to you, too, tamera.
What for?
Well, tomorrow...
You and the rest
of the buds
become full-fledged
roses.
- We voted you
- back in, tamera!
We won! Isn't this
great, girl?
We can be roses together.
We can go to all the...
Why am I the only one
excited about this?
Now, Tia, look...
Don't get me wrong,
but somewhere in...
Mid-moo
I realized that...
- I didn't want
- to join the club.
What?
But I thought you wanted
to be a Rose, tamera.
No, no, no.
You wanted me
to be a Rose.
Yeah, well... I guess
I did talk you into it.
Tia, it's not
your fault.
- I'm just not
- the club type.
Yes, you are.
You were in
the history club.
- I quit before
- the American revolution.
Okay, well... What about
the Spanish club?
Tres dias.
- You're right... you're
- not a club person.
Tia, we're two
different people.
And that's...
Totally cool.
Oh, my gosh!
