The Proud Family (2001) s01e07 Episode Script

Hut, one.
Hut, two.
What are you girls going to do?
We gave them about three points
and this is the last
play of the game.
Yeah, when you girls lose
you're going to wish you stayed
home and made cupcakes.
I already did just
for you, sticky.
Ten-yard penalty.
Illegal use of hands.
Yo, check it out.
Why don't you ladies
just quit? You can't win.
Oh, yeah? Why don't you guys put
your money where your mouth is?
So, what you saying?
You want to bet?
Yeah, homey, where you from?
Losers, meaning
you, buy us ice cream.
Okay, you're on.
By the way, I like chocolate.
Hey, so do I.
Personal foul!
Illegal use of eyes!
All right, we need to score.
Zoey, Gina and Olei block.
Penny, I really admire
the way you take charge
in a time of crisis.
Hold up. Wait a minute.
Who died and made
Proud the boss?
I call the plays.
On the other hand, I
really fear the gross sisters.
So, what's the play, boss-lady?
Uh let's do what
the big-head girl said
'cause the gross sisters
ain't buying nobody ice cream.
Capisce?
All right, Lacienega,
you line up on the left
and run a fly pattern.
I'm not running anywhere in
these expensive shoes, jughead.
And what is a fly
pattern anyway?
Look, just walk about
ten yards stop and look fly.
While Omar's dazzled
by your phoniness
I'll cut behind you.
And Nubia, you
hit me with the ball.
On three. Now break.
Hut. Hut. Hut.
Get off me, Dijonay.
You're on offense.
I know.
Hey there, Omar would
you mind holding this for me?
I got to fix my lipstick.
Sure.
You missed.
I like sprinkles
on my ice cream.

We're the Ribbs racers
and we keep the
score going higher
and higher, and
higher and higher!
Go Ribbs racers!
Team fight!
Hey, Dijonay.
Hey, girlfriend.
- Dijonay!
- Oops!
Dijonay!
Hey, don't look at me.
Y'all need to lose weight.
So, you guys come to check
out the new football players?
Man, why does everything
have to be about boys?
Yeah, why can't we just be
out here to get some fresh air
bond with our female
friends and just kick it?
Yoo-hoo! Marcus!
I'm over here!
Isn't he cute?
He's taking me to the
homecoming dance.
Marcus? The team statistician?
Oh, like she would be
dating a backstreet boy.
So, Penny, who are you going
to the homecoming dance with?
I'm not telling.
That's code for "my
daddy's taking me."
No. It's code for "mind
your own business,"
señorita snotty.
Hey, as long as it's not my
man sticky I'm cool with it.
Dijonay, sticky doesn't want
to go to the dance with you.
Yeah, girl. Quit
playing yourself.
He said he can't stand you.
Really?
Last week he hated me.
Hey, I'm wearing him down.
Heads up.
Sorry about that, ladies.
You ladies okay?
Yeah, we're fine.
I just caught the ball like
I did all day yesterday.
Catch one little pass and all of
a sudden you're Randy moss.
Better than being
the water boy, sticky.
I'm the equipment manager!
You better recognize
Yeah. My baby
doesn't carry any liquid.
Just towels, uniforms and me.
Dijonay!
Can I have the ball back?
Why don't you just take it
from me like you did yesterday?
Look, I could have
got you if I wanted to.
Really?
So, the next thing you're going
to say is you let us win the game.
I don't have to. You just did.
Okay, that's the problem
with you little boys.
You can't stand it when a
girl beats you at a man's game.
No. What we were playing
in the park yesterday
wasn't a man's game.
A man's game is what
we're playing out here.
Full contact.
You wouldn't last two seconds.
Yes, she would.
Penny's great.
She could even be on
your team if she wanted to.
Wait, wait, wait. A girl
on the boys' football team?
Y'all straight trippin' now.
A girl can do
anything a boy can.
Except play football. Peace out.
You really told them, Penny.
I didn't say anything.
I want to be on his team
but just not the one
you're talking about.
Hey, tomboy Proud!
Catch!
Ooh, he makes me sick.
All right, Zoey, you know what?
I'll do it. I'm going out for the team.
I knew you wouldn't quit, Penny
because you're not a quitter
and you're more
than willing to sacrifice
for the cause of women
everywhere around the world.
Everywhere around the world
Oscar, what are you up to now?
My latest creation.
Proud snacks Proudly
presents Proud jelly poppers.
A veritable explosion of flavor.
Dedicated to you, Mama.
Want to try one?
They're real tasty.
Jelly poppers?
Don't mind if I do. You
know how I like jelly.
Mm-hmm, good.
Whoo!
But where's the
explosion of flavor?
Oh he's coming.
Wow!
What the?
Wh-wh-what
kind of jelly is this?
Jalapeno jam packs
a wallop, doesn't it?
Dad, can you sign
this permission slip?
I need it so I can
try out for the team.
Of course.
So, what team is my
baby girl going out for?
Football. Just sign right here.
Powder Puff
football? That's cute.
You know, you
come by it naturally.
Yeah, your daddy
was as big powder Puff.
Ignore the peanut gallery.
No, it's football football.
You know, shoulder
pads, helmets, boys.
B-B-Boys' football!
- Trudy!
- Oscar
What are you yelling about now?
Trudy!
Your daughter here wants to
play on the boys' football team.
Really?
Honey, football is a rough
sport. You could get hurt.
That's if they can
catch me, Mama.
I'm fast, and I'm good.
I've seen her play.
Girl's got game.
No, the girl's got girl game
and she'll be crying like
one as soon as she gets hit.
Are you saying only
a boy can take a hit?
I'm saying there's no
pain like football pain.
Oh, yeah? What about childbirth?
- Yeah, okay, childbirth is worse
- Mm-hmm.
But I'm not signing a
permission slip for that either.
Then I'll sign it.
If it's really what
you want to do, baby.
Yes. And you don't have to
worry because I can play, Mama.
As good as any boy.
Come on, Penny, get your ball.
Suga Mama's got a
few tricks to show you.
Unless you show her how to disappear
she's going to be in big trouble.
I tell you, nobody
listens to your papa.
Aah!
What's up, guys?
Penny? What are you doing here?
Did you think I was
joking about trying out?
No, but, uh, we were.
Oops. I guess I don't
know how to take a joke.
No, you don't know
how to take a hint.
All right, boys, let's see
those permission slips.
Excuse me, young lady. I
think you got the wrong field.
The cheerleaders are
over on the other side.
No, I'm here to try out
for the football team.
Sure, baby doll, you tried.
Now get off the field
before you get hurt.
I'm not leaving.
There's no rule that says that I
cannot play on the boy's team.
However, there are plenty of rules
that say you cannot call me "baby doll."
Yeah, you're right, sugar,
you got spunk. I like that.
Now, go home and bake a
cake. I like that even better.
Let Penny play!
Let Penny play!
Let Penny play!
Mmm all right. Get out there.
But if you get hurt,
it's not my fault.
Set. Break it down.
Why are you doing this?
- Because of you.
- Me?
Yeah, you said I couldn't.
I was just telling
the truth, Penny.
Guess I'm just going
to have to show it to you.
No way I'm going to
let you catch that ball.
See, that's the difference
between you and me
because I'm thinking there's
no way you can stop me.
Hut, hut.
Hey, Frankie! What's
wrong with you?
Can't you handle a girl?
Yeah, Frankie. Can't
you handle a girl?
You just got lucky.
Omar, throw it to her again.
Frankie! Shut her down!
Set. Break it down.
Hut, hut.
Yeah, way to go, Frankie.
We're girls, we're bad.
We're girls, we're bad!
We're girls, we're bad!
Okay, there's good
news and bad news.
The bad news
everybody made the team.
The good news Everybody
made the team but the girl.
Even Michael?
Yeah, even Michael.
You're the water boy.
Don't ever wear
that shirt again.
Yay! I made water boy. Whoo-hoo!
But I was good.
Nobody could stop me.
Weren't you watching?
How did I not make the team?
No girl is ever going
to play on my team.
Now hit the road, sweetheart.
Look, Penny, as far as
you and I are concerned
this is the best thing
that could happen.
Okay, how do you figure that?
Well, besides from the fact
that girls can't really
compete with boys in football
I didn't want to take a teammate
to the homecoming dance.
Are you insulting me and
asking me out at the same time?
Well, I didn't really
mean it that way.
It sounded like you did.
Look, Penny, no guy
wants to play against his girl.
Did I miss something?
I thought we were going to
be playing on the same team.
Doesn't matter
you didn't make it.
So, are you going to roll with
me to the homecoming dance?
I wouldn't go out with you
even if my daddy did let me date.
Penny Penny!
I burn Frankie all day, and
Michael made the team?
And when I asked why,
the coach told me a girl would
never, ever play on his team.
I can't believe he
actually said that.
Come on, the game of football
is like what James brown said.
It's a man's world ♪
And there's no room
for a woman or girl.
James brown never said that.
No, coach Collins said that.
And if you had listened
to me, my little girl
never would have
heard those words.
I'm just glad we can put
all this nonsense behind us.
I beg to differ.
Penny Proud, you've
got yourself a case.
Excuse me? Who are you?
This is my aunt, Gloria
Cochran, attorney-at-law.
Zoey, what's going on?
Penny, we can't let coach Collins
get away with what he did today.
He violated your rights.
And we're going to sue
the chauvinistic pants
off that hillbilly coach.
You really believe
Penny has a case?
I know so.
I just won a half-million-dollar
suit last week
because a sexist boss told his
secretary she looked lovely that day.
Okay, heard enough.
Don't call us. We'll call you.
Have a lovely I
mean, have a good-day.
Oscar, she thinks
we have a case.
No, she thinks we
have a lot of money.
I'm not paying some lawyer to
do something I don't believe in.
But, daddy, it was wrong.
Well, don't worry, baby. This
one's on Suga Mama. I'll pay for it.
No one has to pay anything.
I'm taking this case for the
sake of what's right and fair.
And maybe the
publicity, Ally McBeal?
Well, there's always media coverage
in a high-profile case such as this.
So, what do you say?
It's up to Penny.
Do you really want
to play football?
Yes, I do, Mama.
I'm telling you, you're
wasting your time.
There's no way a judge is
going to let my baby girl
Yes, I said "baby girl,"
play boys' football.
The court rules that in the
absence of a girls' football team
the school district
cannot discriminate
against girls who desire and demonstrate
the ability to play football.
The court hereby grants
Penny Proud's petition
to join the Willie T. Ribbs
racers football team.
Your honor, I object. No girls.
Sit down, coach Collins.
This is my playing field
and my ball.
Court is adjourned.
We're the Ribbs racers.
And we keep the score
going higher and higher
Oh, Nelly, what a hit!
That is the seventh
racer out tonight
and it looks like we also
lost three cheerleaders.
The only drama left in this game
is whether or not that
spunky lass, Penny Proud,
will see any playing time.
Get your free Proud
snacks jelly poppers.
One taste will light
up your choppers.
My mouth! My mouth!
Beat it, kid, one
sample per person.
Oscar, will you sit down?
You're embarrassing us.
Hey, you biscuit head coach!
Put my grand-baby in the game.
Oh, I think Suga Mama is way
ahead of me in that department.
Give me an "r."
Put my grand-baby in the game.
I said, "put my"
It looks like they're bringing in
the second-string cheerleaders.
I said, "put my
grand-baby in the game."
Oh, no, Nelly!
"Put my grand-baby in the game."
Give me a water, Michael.
What do you need water
for? You haven't played.
Coach, when am I going in?
Hmm, let me think never!
But I'm part of this team.
Look here, Missy, that court
said I had to put you on the team.
They didn't say I had
to put you in the game.
Oh, jumping jehosaphat,
the racers blew another tire.
Well, coach Collins doesn't
have many choices left.
It's either Penny
Proud or the water boy.
No, don't make me go out
there. I don't want to play.
Then sit on the bench.
Your mother and I will
talk to you about this later.
Okay, daddy.
I told you, it's
"coach" in public.
Come here, Proud.
Yeah, coach?
I thought I'd never
say these words.
Get in there.
Yes, thank you, coach.
There's no hugging in football.
Now, get in the game
before I change my mind.
Tell them to run
"drag 29" to Frankie.
And here you have it, folks
the moment we've
all been waiting for.
The sassy Penny
Proud is in the game.
Oh, look, Oscar, doesn't
my baby look cute?
That's exactly why women
shouldn't play football.
There's nothing
cute about football.
Oh, be quiet, boy, and be Proud.
What are you doing out here?
The coach figures you
boys needed some help.
Omar, coach said run "drag 29."
- To who?
- Me.
Ready? Break.
Set. Ready down.
Hut, hut!
The ball is snapped.
Omar dumps it off to Penny
Proud. She's got some field
- No, my, my
- My baby.
Hey!
Did you see that?
The whole doggone
team jumped on her.
I see I'm going to
have to hurt somebody.
Folks, looks like the playing
career of that perky Penny Proud
has been pretty much pulverized.
Wait a minute.
I don't believe it.
The bouncy brunette is
skipping back to the huddle.
That's my girl.
She's tough. She's a Proud.
You fair-weather father!
Throw me the ball again.
Don't throw her the ball.
She's the only one that
caught a pass today.
- That was luck.
- Stop hating, Frankie.
Just throw it as far as you
can, Omar, and I'll get there.
Break.
The racers line up. The ball
is snapped. Omar drops back.
Whoa, he threw that
ball a country mile.
And it's a beauty, deep
towards the end zone.
Too bad no one's in
the same area code.
Wait a minute.
Penny Proud comes out of nowhere
and makes a
spectacular diving catch.
Touchdown, racers!
That's the daughter of
Oscar, "primetime" Proud.
We will, we will rock you ♪
rock you ♪
we will, we will rock you ♪
rock you ♪
now, y'all don't want to
ball y'all afraid of this charge ♪
large MCs I'm scoring
touchdowns overseas ♪
battle for the pigskin
begin like bulls ♪
Well, folks, I have to say, this
has been an amazing game.
The courageous Penny Proud
has put the racers on her back
and has carried them
within five points of victory.
And it's all come down
to this one last play.
And we all know
where the ball is going.
You can't throw it to her.
Everybody knows you're
going to throw it to her.
Hey, she's catching it.
Well, guess what?
Everybody knows that.
So throw it to me.
I'll be wide open.
You know what? Just
throw it to him, Omar.
I don't care. I
just want to win.
All right. I'm coming
at you, Frankie.
- On one.
- Break.
Set. Ready down.
Hut one.
Yeah, that's my girl.
We won!
It was right there.
I had it. Why?
That's okay, baby girl.
Let it out.
All the good players cry.
But I could have won the game.
Oh, but you won so
much more, Penny.
You won so much more.
Nice bandage, Proud.
I figured you wouldn't be
showing your face forever.
Leave me alone, Lacienega.
So, who's your date? Your daddy?
As a matter of fact I am.
My, Mr. Proud,
don't you look suave.
Well, I've got to run.
Come on, dad,
let's get out of here.
I don't even know why I
let you talk me into coming.
Everybody hates me.
Just one dance with
your old man and we'll go.
Okay, you're not going to do
"the running man," are you?
No, baby girl. You know
"the robot" is my dance.
Yo, Penny!
Daddy, stop, you're
embarrassing me.
Hey, Omar.
I just wanted to
say, um, good game.
That's my girl. Hey, m.V. Penny.
Yeah, you turned it out, Penny.
We're going to put a
cheer together just for you.
Right, sticky?
Sticky, come back here!
May I cut in, sir?
No, son, find your
own dance partner.
- Daddy!
- What's wrong?
Oh, I get it.
I'll be watching you, boy.
Look, I just wanted to
apologize about the game.
We were in it only
because of you.
And what I said in the
huddle, it was wack, okay?
I'm sorry.
Where you going, Frankie?
You still afraid to
dance with a teammate?
No, I'd like to
dance with you
I'd like to
My daddy's standing
right behind you.
Never mind.
