The Proud Family (2001) s01e17 Episode Script

Uh-oh look.
It's the three Robin hood rats.
Yeah, they take from the rich
Then from the poor.
I don't know I think
they're misunderstood.
Oh, I think, "give
us all your money
or we'll beat you
down" is very clear.
Don't you see?
That's an obvious cry for love.
No, we're the ones
usually doing the crying.
I'll show you.
I told you you'd
come back crying.
And unless you all
want to do the same
hands up, cash out.

Oscar, it's almost time
for the twins to get their
S-h-o-t-s.
Trudy, why are you doing that?
The twins don't understand "shots".
They some smart kids.
Gonna take after
they're Sugar Mama.
Good morning,
Mr. and Mrs. Proud.
Good morning, girls.
Ms. Proud, are you working out?
You don't look quite as
hippy as you normally do.
Why, thank you, Lacienega.
I think.
That muffin sure looks good.
Y'all going to eat it?
No you want it?
No, thank you. I pass.
That's okay
there's more for me.
All right, girls. Let's hit it.
- Have a nice day at school.
- Thanks.
Oh, yeah, mom and dad
I'll be home late
from school today.
And why is that?
Because me and
my girls are going
Shopping.
Then you'll be home early
'cause I'm not going
to give you no money.
That's all right,
daddy. I understand.
You don't want to spoil me.
That's right. So I'm
going to spoil myself.
I'll use my own money.
- What money?
- The $50 I got from my boyfriend.
Boyfriend?
Just kidding, daddy.
Penny, where did you get $50?
I saved it.
A dime a week
for my entire life.
I'm finally going to get
to buy something
that I really want
that has nothing to do with
you guys because it's my money.
You must be planning
on buying a house.
See you.
And don't come back here
with anything made
out of spandex, Lycra
dental floss or anything
you see those girls wearing
on those rump-shaker videos.
What rump-shaker videos
have you been watching?
You know the only
rump I watch is yours.
Whoo, look at the time.
I got to go to work.
Girl, I'm going to get a
matching top and skirt
with a cute little pair
of matching sandals.
I'm going to be off the heezie.
Well, if you want
some real style
you better introduce
your $50 to another 50.
Uh-oh, trouble at 12:00.
- See you guys later.
- What are you doing?
Oh, I've got the gross
sisters gold extortion card.
They deduct straight
from my checking account.
I get a 10% discount
plus this lovely calendar.
Ciao-ciao!
You know, that
calendar is kinda cool.
I'm gonna get me one.
So what are we gonna do?
We can't give them
our shopping money.
I say we stand and fight.
So what are we gonna do?
Come on, my sisters.
We've got to stand together.
I'm not giving them my
money. Not this time.
- You're not?
- No, I'm not
because I've saved too long.
That's right! We've
saved too long.
The thievery
The intimidation
The thuggery has got to end.
Has got to end.
Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of tyranny,
I shall fear no shakedown
'cause I got my girls Zoey
and Dijonay by my side.
By my side.
I don't hear you, Dijonay.
She's gone.
It's times like this that you
discover who your real friends are.
Right, Zoey?
Ladies, can we talk?
Yeah, we could talk.
Where's your money?
They're not getting
away with this.
Not this time.
Come on, Lacienega, one bite.
I can't do it.
Part of my gold card
deal with the gross sisters
is that I can't share.
It's in the contract.
Forget this.
They got enough
food for all of us.
I'm going over there
and get me some food.
I'm hungry.
Please, ma'am, could
you spare a bit of porridge?
Hey.
Suddenly, I'm not
hungry anymore.
There you are!
I understand
Lacienega leaving me
but I thought you
two were my girls.
Don't trip.
After they got you,
they got us, too.
That's twice this week for me.
Something's got to be
done about the gross sisters.
I thought they just needed
a needed a little love.
What's love got to do with it?
Don't tell anybody, but
something has already been done.
I talked to the principal
about they're little operation.
Well, it's been
nice knowing you.
She's right, Penny.
You saw what they did to
me for giving them flowers.
Imagine what they're
going to do to you.
Nothing 'Cause they're
not going to know it was me.
The principal promised to
keep my identity confidential.
Attention: This is your
school principal speaking.
The reign of terror that the
gross sisters have perpetrated
against you poor, innocent,
hungry students is over.
All thanks to the courage of
one brave individual, Penny Proud
whose identity shall
remain confidential.
I said it? I did, didn't I?
Oops. My bad, Penny.
Ooh, ooh, I said it again.
Sorry that is all.
Oh, yeah. I'm a goner.
Okay, round 'em
up an head 'em out.
I've got other things to
do besides spend all day
What? Don't be shushing
me. This is my house.
Come on.
What happened the
other day was coincidence.
There's no way they can
understand "doctor's office."
What's that supposed to mean?
Come on, Bebe.
There's nothing to worry about.
Oscar, would you come
and get your son, please?
Come on, Bebe, stop
acting like a baby. Be a man.
Would you like a
ride to school, dear?
That's okay, mom.
I don't want you to go
out of your way just for me.
Nonsense. Besides,
it's on the way.
Well, I really kind
of need the exercise.
You know, I'm not
getting any younger.
Besides, I wouldn't want to
make you guys late for the doctor.
Okay, have it your way.
Tru Trudy Come
and get your kids!
We'll see you later, baby.
They're very nervous
about the you-know-what.
Don't worry, children.
Dr. Payne knows what he's doing.
See what you did?
You can't say doctor
in front of them.
Right, fool, I know
what I'm doing.
Look at my wall.
MD, PhD, WBC.
Knocked out Jerry
Cooney in the second round.
- So back off, skinny boy.
- Who is this guy?
He's the only one
our HMO will pay for.
Little babies, how
would you like a lollipop?
All done.
What about their shots?
They're in the sucker, fool.
Vaccine pops
Developed them myself.
That's great.
I don't know I think we
need a second opinion.
- What'd you say, Proud?
- Uh, nothing, champ.
Let's get out of here.
The doctor's a quacko.
Boy, he tossed him
into the next zip code.
You want to be careful
with those slingshots.
One false move, you'll
shoot your eye out.
Proud, ain't you
forgetting something?
Oh, yeah.
I was watching that.
Come on, suga
Mama, we're leaving.
Not her.
According to my records,
you missed a flu shot.
Is that all? Hook me up with
one of those vaccine pops.
Preferably cherry.
You don't get a sucker, sucker.
Trudy! Help me!
Mama, do something!
They're gonna They're gon
Stop acting like a baby.
Be a man.
No!
Penny!
Penny! Penny Proud!
Hey, what are you doing
looking like Pocahontas?
I'm hiding from
the gross sisters.
In a museum?
Well, I figured it
would be the last place
I'd run into the gross sisters.
Or you.
How did you find me?
Sticky?
Sorry, Penny.
She promised not to talk
to me for an entire month.
I would have turned in my
Mama for that kind of deal.
How long do you plan on
living on the reservation?
Just until the gross
sisters graduate junior high.
I figure ten, 12 years Max.
Well, today must
be graduation day
because there they are.
Nah, that's not
the gross sisters.
What you got here is some
fly examples of early man.
The neanderthal, the
java man, and the pygmy.
Or the gross sisters.
Penny Proud, did you
think you could drop a dime
on the gross sisters and
not get dropped yourself?
Good job, Dijonay.
Here's your free pass.
Thank you.
Dijonay?!
Well, I didn't have
any choice, Penny.
It was either take a pass
or take a beat
down like sticky did.
Sorry. Bye.
Wait a minute.
Don't I get one last wish?
Okay, by a five-to-four decision
you get one last wish.
What is it?
I wish y'all would
forget about this
and give me my $50 back.
You blew it. That's two wishes.
Why do they always do tha?
Give me a little chase music.
Let's do this.
Hmm
One of these things
Is not like the others.
And one of these things
just doesn't belong.
And I think it's Penny Proud.
You girls look good
behind them bones.
It's where you belong.
- How did you?
- Uh, we can pick a bone.
Get on, Penny.
Boy, this sure is sweet.
Not as sweet as you were
at that nice Dr. Payne's office.
I ain't never known a
grown man to cry so much.
Made me embarrassed
to say I was your Mama.
I know the feeling.
Oscar, look out!
Who taught you how to
drive? A crash test dummy?
Calm down now, honey.
I sure he didn't
mean to do that.
He did it on purpose.
You and me, pal, you and me.
Oscar, watch out.
Hi, guys.
I could use that ride now.
All right, young lady,
we want an explanation
and we want it now.
Why weren't you in school today?
It's not like you to do
something like this, Penny.
It was the gross sisters.
- Who?
- Who?
Three bullies at my school.
They took my shopping money
so I told the principal on them.
Then they threatened
to beat me up.
$50? Show me where
these hooligans live.
Nobody steals from my grand-baby.
Mama, calm your nerves.
I've got it under control.
Penny, you can't allow
thugs to run your life.
You got to stand up to them.
- Let 'em know who's boss.
- That's right.
You never did, but good advice.
But that doesn't mean you
have to be confrontational.
- Yes, it does.
- No, it doesn't.
Talk to them, baby.
I'm sure you'll discover it's
one big misunderstanding.
No, Mama, they're real clear.
They don't like me and
they want my money.
Okay, this is what we'll do.
Tonight, you, me and your father
will all go over to the gross sisters'.
That's what I'm talking about.
And politely speak to
their parents face to face,
and clear up this entire matter.
- Do we have to?
- Do we have to?
Yes.
You'll both see I know
what I'm talking about.
Okay, Penny,
when you go in there
I want you to look those
girls right in the eyes
and tell them,
"enough is enough.
If you know what's good for you
you'll leave me alone."
Now say it. See how it feels.
Don't say that.
That's not the approach, honey.
Conversation not confrontation.
You're going to get her hurt.
Penny Proud.
So you decided
to turn yourself in.
No, she came to
get her money back.
Uh-huh. So you
brought your daddy.
We got a daddy, too.
Good. I want to meet your daddy.
Oscar, please.
Might we speak with
both of your parents?
My Mama is asleep.
But my daddy is
pulling up right now.
That's the car that cut me off.
Today is my lucky day.
Oscar, we're not
here to make trouble.
Too late.
Trouble has been
made and delivered.
Watch daddy handle things.
Hey, gross, I'd like
a word with you.
Daddy?
You cut me off today.
I was hoping that was you.
I came here to apol
ogize.
Oscar, be still.
Ouch!
Quiet, fool.
This is a delicate procedure.
Oscar, listen to
the nice doctor.
Thank you, sugar bear.
Mama, thank you for
getting my money back.
Honey, I just wanted you to see
that if you approach
someone reasonably
make a human connection
and find some common ground
chances are, you
will get what you want.
If you take your dad's attitude
you get a call from Dr. Payne.
Listen to your Mama, itty-bitty.
Okay, Proud, you are finished.
Take two aspirin and
stay away from water
for about a month.
Well, I'm done.
Here, take my bill.
$500 for some aspirin
and some glue?!
It was a house call, fool.
You're the fool because
I'm not paying for it.
What?!
Honey, could you write
Dr. Payne a check?
Remember, baby
Conversation, not confrontation.
Hey, Zoey, Lacienega.
What's their problem?
The word is, if you value
your health stay away from us.
Let me guess
the gross sisters.
Yep. And there they are.
Don't they ever get tired?
Okay, everybody
knows what to do.
We go in three
different directions.
Penny, what are you doing?
I'm going to find common ground.
Oh, you're going to
find the ground, all right.
Excuse me.
Well, if it isn't Penny Proud.
How's your daddy?
He's okay.
I believe you have
something that belongs to us.
I know $50.
I have one question though.
- Who manages your money?
- No one.
Do you have a savings account?
- Piggy bank.
- This is not good.
What's wrong?
Well, the life of a
bully is not a long one.
There's always someone
younger and bigger and meaner
that comes along.
Not that you have
anything to worry about.
All I'm saying is,
tomorrow isn't guaranteed.
You have to make
your money work for you.
I was just talking
to Olei about that.
You've got to do
more than talk about it.
You've got to do
something about it.
You need to invest your money and
let the bank do the robbing for you.
They do that?
Ever heard of 19%
compound interest?
You can get us that?
Of course I can
For a small fee.
Or we can let you keep
your $50 and your face.
Fair enough.
So, have you ever considered
a money market account?
- What's that?
- So much to learn, so little time.
Don't touch me, Proud.
Keeping my hands to myself.
And my money.
Who are you talking to, Proud?
Why, you, sir I mean, ma'am.
What do you want?
Good afternoon, gross.
Now, look, obviously we
got off on the wrong foot.
And since our daughters are schoolmates
we have a chance to set a good example.
What do you say?
Yeah, you're right.
We got to do it for the kids.
Now, you see, that's
what I'm talking about.
Give me some 'dat.
My bad.
I appreciate the love.
See ya.
Honey, call Dr. Payne.
