- Woman: - Acting is not
- Simply speaking.
It's also listening.
I should know.
I've got 13 Tonys to prove it.
She's got 13 Tony awards?
No, girl. She's done
13 commercials
for Tony's leaning
tower of pizza.
Partner up, thespians
- and I'll give you
- your assignments.
And remember,
this isn't just a scene.
It's half your grade.
So make it live.
Hey, d., I need you
to do me a favor
- and ask tyreke
- to be your partner.
What?! Why?
- Because! I don't
- want him to ask me.
- It would just be
- too awkward and too complicated.
I need you to run interference.
- Uh-uh, Tia.
- If he asks you
- You just need to
- be honest with him.
Wait a minute.
- Since when did you become
- the poster child
For honesty and truth?
Ring! Ring!
Hello?
Oh, hi, Mr. Johnson!
It's your father.
Diavian said she was here?
- Well, that's funny,
- because I don't...
Okay! I'll be his partner.
I see you two
in something sensitive,
powerful... a classic.
Shaft in Africa.
I don't think so.
- How about something
- by August Wilson?
August Wilson.
Yes, of course.
I see you two in that scene
from seven guitars
where Floyd asks Vera
to marry him.
- Oh, great!
- I love seven guitars.
Yeah. You know, I heard
there was a eighth guitar
- but he left the
- group to go solo.
♪ I do my own style
in my own time ♪

we have come to be ♪

to be with you ♪

what's real for me ♪

what's right for you ♪
- Woman:
- Lisa, you must know somebody
Without a wife, drama,
or living with his mama.
Now that you mention it,
I got this friend, Kelvin.
He just got out
of a relationship
- and he's cute, he's funny,
- and...
He's perfect for you.
What's he look like?
Monica, what matters
is what he brings to the table.
Well, if he's funny-looking,
I'm not sitting at that table.
You know, I tell you what.
- I'll invite him over for dinner
- on Saturday night.
That way, there's no pressure.
I can deal with that.
I already have
something to wear.
- Better get out of it
- before you start sweating.
True! See you later.
Okay.
Hi, girls.
- Girls:
- Hey.
Bye, girls.
- Girls:
- Bye.
Hi, mommy.
Lisa, did I tell you
your new haircut
is the b*mb?
Okay. What you want?
Okay. We really need
cable in our apartment.
There are so many
educational programs.
Yeah, like
celebrity death match.
Okay.
And since you
already have cable here
- you only have to pay
- for extra installation.
- What?!
- She said okay!
- Really?!
- Yes.
But I won't be
the one from 8:00 to noon
- or noon to 5:00
- waiting for the cable guy.
I'm way too busy for that.
- Both:
- Yes, ma'am!
We getting cable, baby.
Yeah, baby.
That was so easy!
We should have asked
for satellite.
- Then you would have got
- your feelings hurt.
- Diavian:
- Floyd, where you been?
- Where you get
- all this from?
You know better
than to ask me where
I get anything.
I took a chance!
Hold up.
What's with
the "old man river" vibe?
I took a chance!
- Floyd is southern,
- not slow.
- I know, I know.
- Just relax, okay?
- I'm still trying
- to find the character.
- Well, search
- a little further north.
All right?
I took a chance!
Tyreke:
You don't have
to be so critical.
What's up, what's up?
- Twins:
- Hey, guys.
We just rehearsing this scene.
Tia, who's your partner?
Professor Weaver.
We're doing a scene
from her pizza commercial.
- In that case,
- why don't I treat you
To a slice of your homework?
"Homework."
So, when are you guys
getting cable?
The cable guy is coming
this Friday.
Ah, what? In time for the
Saturday Chavez-Jones fight?
Well, uh, you know what?
You guys should have a party.
That's a great idea.
Hey, d.
Heard about the fight party.
Thanks for the invite.
You're welcome.
Don't you just hate
eavesdroppers?
Monica, girl!
- You really put
- your foot in this.
Girl, you know
that's my mama's foot.
Oh!
So, did you call Kelvin yet?
Um-um, girl.
I'm not calling till Thursday.
- I don't want you to look
- too desperate.
Good thinking.
- I should use that same tactic
- with Anthony.
Mm-hmm. That's a good I...
Who's Anthony?
Just someone to keep you company
- while I'm getting to know
- Kelvin.
- You know I'm kind of seeing
- Victor.
Girl, you know the old saying...
- Until there's a ring
- you can still have a fling.
Who can have a fling?
- Oh. What are you
- two doing home
- In the middle
- of the day?
Man! We been waiting
- five hours for
- the cable guy.
On an empty stomach.
Whoo, cake.
Ahh!
Trust me, Lisa,
you'll like Anthony.
He is really cute.
- You are the one
- that's into looks.
- I just want a man
- who is comfortable
- With who he is
- and what he has
Even if it's not all that much.
Did I mention he was fine?
Okay. Call him up.
There goes the cable guy!
What...? He's leaving!
Come on, j.
All right.
Let's go.
Whoa, whoa.
Oh...!
Whew!
And I would have caught him
if I hadn't tripped.
- Well, uh,
- you wouldn't have tripped
If you weren't running
with the cake.
Mm-hmm.
Hello? Yes, um...
I just missed the cable guy
and I need him
to come back out today.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Two weeks?!
- What?! Girl,
- give me that phone.
- Let me show you
- how to handle business.
Ah-ya-ya-yeah-yeah.
Hello?
Look here, man.
- We have a big
- fight party planned
And we need that hookup
no later than 4:00 P.M. today.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Thank you. Good-bye.
They're coming out.
When?
In two weeks.
Oh, so, uh, that's how
you handle your business?
- Look, all right,
- why don't we
- Just move the party
- inside the house?
- Lisa's having
- a dinner party.
- The house is off
- limits to anyone born
- After lamont left
- sanford and son.
Who's lamont?
I don't know.
We should just install
the cable ourselves.
Why not? It's not like
we're bootlegging it.
- We're just doing
- the work for him
And he's still getting paid.
So you down for the
cause, my brotha?
I'm down, my sista.
Now what do we do?
Organize a revolution?
Hi! I'm sausage Suzy.
Welcome to Tony's
leaning tower of pizza.
Perfect, Tia!
You were sausage Suzy.
Everyone, that's
enough for today.
As Antonio himself says
"keep it fresh."
soon to be
Mrs. Floyd barton...
That is, if she say yes.
I want to say yeah
but what am I
saying yeah to?
Hey. Hey, do you guys
want to go to lunch?
I want to say yeah, but we
got to work on this scene.
Okay. Well, I'll
see you guys later.
I'll see you, Tia.
Bye.
Oh... oh, you know what.
Come up here.
And this time, diavian
- I want you to
- concentrate, okay?
Think "Floyd and Vera," okay?
- And tyreke, who needs
- an "a" on this assignment.
And so does diavian.
Um, let's go from
"Pittsburgh to Chicago."
I'm with it.
Pittsburgh to Chicago.
Yeah, and I told the man
to write your name on it
- and then I called
- down there
- To the Delaware
- towers hotel...
- You know, on
- state street?
And I told them to get
ready they finest room
for miss Vera dotsun.
Soon to be
Mrs. Floyd barton...
That is... if she say yes.
I want to say yeah,
but what am I saying yeah to?
Another heartache?
Another time for you
to walk out the door
with another woman?
Nah, Vera, look, you try me.
Try me one more time
and I'll never jump back
on you again in life.
I went down to the greyhound
bus station, too.
Here.
It say "one-way,
Chicago to Pittsburgh."
Now, I'm gonna put
that in my shoe
and when we get to Chicago,
I'm gonna walk around on it.
I hope I never have to use it.
Look at me.
You won't.
I don't want to.
I don't think that
was in the script.
I think, uh, Floyd...
He just got caught
up in the moment.
Okay! That's enough rehearsal
for the day.
I have to go.
Whew.
Whew.
So... this is the garage roof.
Jordan:
Keep moving, honey.
Please...
Oh, my gosh. Whoo!
I feel so alive up here.
Yeah, and if you fall
you'll feel so
dead down there.
Whoo! What do
you say, brother?
Okay. All right.
Where's the cable?
Right there on the grass.
Tamera, you were
supposed to bring
it up, remember?
I was bringing the
tools and you were
carrying the cable.
- I thought
- I was bringing the tools
And you were carrying the cable.
Then where are the tools?
Hello? you have them.
Okay. All right.
I'm going to go down
there and get the cable.
Please don't move.
I'm on a roof.
Where am I going?
Okay.
Whoa...
Yo quiero taco bell.
Whoo!
Ow!
Look out!
I mean... sorry!
I thought I asked you
not to move.
I didn't move...
Much.
All right, all right.
It's all right.
All right, cool.
Looks pretty simple.
Oops. Excuse me there.
Where's the drill?
Next to the screwdriver.
I'll be right back.
Whoa!
Jordan! Jordan!
Help me!
Help me! I can't do it.
My arms are too tired. Help!
Right. I'm louder.
Help!
Okay...
Jordan...
No matter what happens
I'll never forget you.
I'm hanging off the side
of a roof, not the Titanic.
Help!
- Now, just-just
- give me your hand.
Help!
Ow! I'm dying!
I see the light!
Thank you so much.
What in the world
is going on up here?
You told us
we could get cable.
You said that.
- So, um, um, um,
- we-we planned this fight party.
Fight party. Uh-huh.
- And we missed
- the cable guy.
I don't believe
you two.
- I know, I know.
- We're sorry.
Oh, yeah, you
certainly are.
Everybody knows you can't
bootleg cable without this.
- What are you
- sitting there for?
Hand me that coax.
Boy, hand me that coax!
Hey, Tia.
Hmm. Onion rings.
So, is this
what backstabbers eat?
What are you talking about?
Well, I was
flipping through your scene
and, um... my version
doesn't seem to say they kiss.
Look, if you'll sit down,
I can explain.
- Oh, the truth
- can reach me up here.
Tia... please?
Look, it was nothing, all right?
Tyreke and I were just acting.
Oh, well,
then you deserve an Oscar...
Because when I came in
to get my book
I saw a heck of a performance.
How could you do this to me?
Do what to you?
You're not dating him anymore.
Yeah, but the point is,
you shouldn't have kissed him.
Who you claim
he's my ex-boyfriend.
You don't care about.
That doesn't
make it all right!
No, what's not all right
is this little game
you keep playing.
- One day you like him,
- the next you don't.
- One day you're into him,
- the next you're over him.
- You know what?
- You're not mad
- Because you think
- I like tyreke.
You're mad because
you still do.
- Ah...
- Oh...
- Hey, remember
- that wild girl
You always tried
to fix me up with.
What was her name?
- Charlene... - What has she
- Charlene?
Been doing lately?
Oh, she made a fortune
in the stock market.
You still have her number?
Oh, hi! Come on in.
Lisa, this is Anthony.
Anthony, Lisa.
- Oh... - Nice to meet
- You, Lisa.
- Well, come on in
- and meet Kelvin.
- Kelvin, this is
- Monica and Anthony.
How you doing, man?
All right, all right.
Well, Monica,
now, I can't believe
Lisa forgot to tell me
how beautiful you are.
I can't believe it, either.
- Come show me
- where you keep the coasters.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
- They're right there
- on the table.
I mean the
kitchen coasters.
Excuse us.
Okay, go ahead,
give me my props.
Props? Did you see that smile?
What's he all happy about?
And he shook my hand.
So?
- So, we're not closing
- a business deal.
Monica, I'm beginning
to see why you're alone.
You're too picky.
You don't see me
complaining about Anthony's
five-year-old shoes.
I guess it's time
to start settling.
Yeah, and whatever you do,
do it with a smile.
Now come on, girl.
Fine men are waiting.
- That was
- a good game.
That was good, man.
It went down
to the wire.
Yeah.
So, Anthony, what do you do?
Uh, I'm a musician.
In fact, I just came from a gig.
Oh, I love music.
What instrument do you play?
I'm a percussionist.
Ooh, a drummer.
Actually, I'm working
in an experimental ensemble...
Right now I'm working
with sand paper
and a pine cone.
- But, what instrument
- do you play?
Oh, sandpaper and a pine cone.
You make much money doing that?
Nah, of course not.
You know, artists like myself
- you have to have a day job
- to pay the rent.
Oh... so, what do you do?
- Do you know
- where the renaissance center is?
That tall building with
all the g.M. Executives in it?
Yeah, yeah. I manage
the newsstand right in front.
Monica, can I see you
in the kitchen?
I know you didn't fix me up
with pine cone paperboy.
You said all you wanted was
"a man who was happy
- with himself
- and what he had."
That's when I thought
that he had something.
Excuse me.
Yes?
- Lisa, can I talk
- to you a minute?
I'll be in the living
room talking...
Music with Anthony.
So, you-you having a good time?
- Not really.
- What is wrong with your friend?
I smile at her and she frowns.
- I shake her hand;
- she freezes up.
- You just got
- to get to know her.
No, I don't.
Lisa, this just
isn't working out.
- Kelvin!
- Make my apologies.
Hey, I'll call you later.
Aah...
Both:
You ran him off!
- Kelvin knew that
- you didn't like him.
- Anthony could tell
- you didn't like him, either.
He's sensitive...
He's an artist.
Yeah, well, he may be an artist
but he's no prince.
Well, I guess
I'm back to
kissing frogs.
Mmm...
Who needs those two
- when we got
- some good, hot gumbo
And a good fight?
Your gumbo's good
but I'm not going
to fight you for it.
I was talking
about the fight on cable.
I knew that.
No, you didn't.
Hey, Tia.
Hey.
Uh... hey, listen,
about diavian...
You don't have...
- No, no, no,
- but I want to.
- Okay, look,
- we're just friends
- And-and there's
- nothing going on.
- Well, thank you
- for telling me.
Tia, will you
get that, please?
Hey.
Hey.
So, is there room
at this party for a
friend who's sorry?
Only if she's willing
to forgive a friend
who briefly lost her mind.
Well, I did come down
a little hard on you.
You think?
Come on.
Hey, but, you know
you did say some things
I needed to hear.
So, how's your party?
My party?
- You invited half
- these people.
True that.
Hey, bill, Mike.
Come on, you guys.
You're going to
miss the fight.
- And you all have
- me to thank.
- Just call me
- the cable guy.
I'll give it to you, Jordan.
You hooked us up.
You mean we hooked us up.
- Announcer:
- And now, we take you ringside
At the world-famous
m.g.m. Grand hotel
for the fight of the year:
- Roy Jones, Jr.
- Vs. Julio Cesar Chavez...
- Will you - get the lights?
- Oh, yeah.
The young tiger
versus the old...
- Tyreke: - Way to go,
- Cable guy!
No problem, all right?
I'll just plug it in.
Oh...
You can't...
- You broke it
- inside the wall.
I thought I told you
to wrap that splice!
And I told you I didn't
know what that meant!
You are not blaming
this thing on me.
- Are you saying
- it's my fault?
Forget Chavez-Jones.
We got a fight here.
- You better hurry up
- and go on that roof.
- You got a lot of
- quick comments...
We can learn how...
Yada-yah...
That line is hard to do.
We're going to be partners,
professor... Weaver.
- Yeah, Weaver.
- That's her name.
Great.
- We can learn
- how to install...
See that-that line...
Can we go from...?
I'll be his partner.
Oh...
Wait! What was
I supposed to say?!
Oh, I'm sorry. My bad!
And we can...
