The Proud Family (2001) s01e19 Episode Script

Come on, girls! Put
your backs into it.
Yeah, that's it! Shake
what yo Mama gave you.
Ooh, I am beat.
But I got to admit, we're good.
Good? Proud, we're the bomb.
That's right, we're going to
turn that dance contest out.
Wow. I can't believe
we're going to be
on hip-hop helicopter.
Why are we trippin'?
There's no way we're
going to be picked
to be in the hip-hop
helicopter dance contest.
I'm with Proud on that one.
They always pick high
school and college kids.
What? I've been choreographing
you chicks for nothing?
Oh, no. Michael don't play that.
Calm down, footloose.
We're definitely going to
be on hip-hop helicopter.
And here comes our hookup now.
Check out that ride.
Wow. That's your cousin's car?
Yeah. She's from the
other side of the family.
You mean, the
side with the money?
So what? I'm from
the side with the looks.
Yeah, looks like you
ain't got no money.
- Hey, Bethany.
- What's up, cuz?
And these are my friends.
Look, I don't have time
for introduction, okay?
Just wanted to let you

You ready to do this, Oscar?
I'm in fighting shape, Felix.
I'm ready to rumble.
We're going to smoke
those chumps tonight.
You know what I'm saying?
Oscar, we better get going.
The bowling tournament
starts in about 15 minutes.
Which means it's going
to be over in 16 minutes.
Let's not get
ahead of ourselves.
Suga Mama's and Papi's
team tied with us for first place.
Because they
hadn't played us yet.
I'm finally going to pay
Mama back for all that trash
she's been talking since
I was six minutes old.
Do you hear me? Those
geezers are going down.
Yeah-yay! Yeah-yay!
Sunset, do you ever wonder
why we married them?
Because they were
handsome and rich.
Mama, daddy, can
I go with my girls
to see the hip-hop
helicopter show?
- No.
- Why not, daddy?
Because I've seen that show.
And I know that boys will be there.
Oh, Oscar, you're impossible.
Do you know there
are boys in church, too?
Fine, she can't go there either.
Mr. and Mrs. Proud I'm
Dijonay's cousin Bethany.
And I assure you
the girls will be fine.
They'll be riding with me and
I'm on the show every week.
And there's nothing but
good, wholesome fun.
There's nothing wholesome
about dancing like this.
Oscar, you're scaring my babies.
I'm scaring myself.
Only an irresponsible parent
would allow their daughter
to go on a show like that.
Mommy, Papi, can I go?
- Why, of course, honey.
- Have a good time, baby.
Come on, daddy,
everyone else is going.
Let me ask you something.
If everybody jumped off a
bridge would you do that, too?
If it was fun.
- Fun?
- Oscar.
I am not going to let
your caveman ways
stop my baby from
having fun with her friends.
- You can go, Penny.
- Thanks, Mama.
Oh, go ahead, just ignore me.
Make sure you're
home by 10:00 now.
I will, Mama.
Just pretend I'm not here.
Here's some money
for you to eat something.
Thanks, Mama. Bye.
Yep, just call me
the invisible man.
Did you say something, Oscar?
Hey!
We're on our way to
Hip-hop helicopter ♪
Okay, y'all better
hip-hop out of my car.
I thought you were
giving us a ride.
Oh, I don't think so. I got
to pick up my real girls.
Y'all got to walk.
Be there by 5:00
or you won't get in.
I'm out.
Man, I thought your
cousin was cool, Dijonay.
She is cool.
We're not.
All right now, y'all.
Y'all watch this right here.
I call this my Turkey ball.
What's a Turkey ball?
Well, that's when you
get three strikes in a row.
Oh, come on now.
Get on!
Ooh, gobble, gobble.
That's three strikes, Turkey.
That's not three
strikes. It's only one.
I count three. Right, Papi?
Personally, I count six chins.
Don't laugh too hard yet, Papi.
It's big Oscar's turn now.
I'm going to throw my
famous hesitation ball.
Why don't you put some
hesitation on that trash-talking
and just get to bowling?
I say freeze.
Now, tighten up.
Yeah-yay! Yeah-yay!
What's wrong, daddy?
You need some help?
Olé, Papi. Olé!
Come on, Trudy. We can't
let these old folks beat us.
Oscar, age has
nothing to do with it.
We need to respect our elders.
No, we need to Bury them.
Okay, I guess we can
all take a bathroom break.
Hmph, as slow as
that ball is rolling
we could all die and come back.
Yeah!
Yeah-yay! Yeah-yay!
Ooh.
What's up, y'all,
it's me, big boy!
And I'm your host of
Hip-hop helicopter ♪

Say what, y'all?
Hip-hop helicopter ♪
And my special guest
co-host this week
is access Hollywood's superfine
reporter, Shaun Robinson.
Give it up, y'all.
Now, how did you like riding
in the hip-hop helicopter?
I bet you didn't know that
big boy was a pilot, did you?
Not the way you
crash-landed on set.
No, I just had to do that
so I can get close to you, girl
and now that I have you wounded
you can't get away from me.
I'd never want to get
away from you, big boy.
You know what that sound means?
Is it lunch?
No, three lunches a
day is my limit, big boy.
Now, hold on, let me
tell you something, Shaun
you could never
put a limit on lunch.
Alrighty then.
It's time for the hip-hop
helicopter dance contest.
And our first contestants
are the Chang triplets.
How did you guys get in here?
My father is the
director. Henry Chang.
Well, big boy, this is
our last group of the night
but certainly not our least.
Well, will you at least go out
with me tonight then, Shaun?
We'll talk about that later,
big boy, I'm sure over dinner.
Oh, that's right,
Shaun, sizzler style.
But until then, listen up everybody
go ahead and get your hands together
for the young ladies who
call themselves I.P.D.Z.

I could tell by your eyes
that you're feeling me ♪
and I really want
you to get close to me ♪

dance with me ♪
No pressure, boy.
You just need a strike to win.
Don't be scared.
Scared? I live for pressure.

Big boy, by the sound
of our studio audience
I do believe we have a winner.
That's right, Shaun, the winners
of the hip-hop helicopter
dance contest are I.P.D.Z.
Make some noise!
So, I.P.D.Z., tell us
about yourselves.
Well, I'm the "I," Lacienega.
She's the "p," Penny.
She's the "d," Dijonay.
And she's the "z," Zoey.
And we're so happy
to be the winners.
I want to thank our parents for
letting us come down here today
and our choreographer
over there, Michael.
Hey!
I want to give a shout-out to
my sister my brother, my brother
and my brother.
And I want to give special
shout-out to my cousin Bethany
who believed in us and
got us in the dance contest.
Hey, Beth!
And I want to thank
my aunt Madonna
for making our costumes.
Okay, now listen, it's about
that time to take a ride on
The hip-hop helicopter.
- Hip-hop helicopter ♪
- say what, y'all?
Hip-hop helicopter ♪
You coming, Shaun?
I'll take the bus
this time, big boy.
Well, go ahead, suit yourself.
Let's do this, girls.
We out here. We're going
to see you right back here
on the hip-hop
helicopter next week.
I am big boy! Take
me out of here.
Thanks for the
ride home, Bethany.
Hey, you know I can't
let my girls walk home.
But you made your
girls walk to the studio.
Oh, well, that's before
you blew up the spot
and became celebrities.
By the way, I'm your new
manager. We split everything 50/50.
We'll talk about
the details later.
I can't wait for my
parents to see my trophy.
My problem is where to put mine.
Between all the
pageants, beauty contests
essays and debating
trophies I've won
I'm completely
out of trophy space.
What about me?
I didn't get a trophy and I
choreographed the dance.
Snap out of it, Michael.
That's the breaks when you
choose to be behind the scenes.
And remember, I did give
you your props live on the air.
You right Penny. We cool.
Thanks for helping a brother out.
Man, wait until our parents find
out we won the dance contest.
They're going to be so excited.
Mama, daddy, sugar
Mama, guess what?
We know what.
We saw you girls
dancing half naked on TV.
That's right. You're
straight busted.
Well, Penny, we
see you're busy. Bye.
But, daddy, we won
the dance contest.
No, you won the
skimpiest outfit contest.
Look at you.
And you call all that shaking
and gyrating you girls did dancing?
I was shocked and disgusted.
I remember back in the day we
did nice, wholesome dances, like
The freak, the grind, the bump,
the pump the shake-that-rump.
Need I go on?
Penny, forget your daddy.
I'm Proud of you.
You girls danced great,
and you looked great, too.
Thank you, Sugar Mama.
Your daddy's just mad because
I took him to school in bowling.
You took me to school?
You wasn't taken me to school
when I was going to school.
Penny, let's talk in your room.
Okay, Mama.
Baby, first I want to say I'm
happy that you and your friends
won the dance contest.
You girls obviously
worked hard and it paid off.
Thanks, Mama.
But
I'm very disappointed in the
outfit you girls chose to wear.
They're just too revealing
for young ladies your age.
But Mama, Zoey's
aunt made us costumes
just like the ones all the hottest
singers and dancers wear.
And a lot of those
girls are our age.
Okay, Penny, I understand that.
But that outfit is not appropriate
for a child of mine to wear.
I just want you to enjoy being a
teenager for as long as you can, baby.
But Mama, I'm not a baby.
I know you're not a baby.
And you're going to blossom
into a beautiful young woman
sooner than you think.
But I don't want you trying
to speed up the process
by wearing clothes that
are to revealing for your age.
Do you understand that, Penny?
Yes, Mama.
Now, let's put that outfit away
for a couple of years, okay?
In other words, don't
ever wear this outfit again.
You got it.
Hey, Penny, can I
carry your books?
Yo, Lacienega, can I take
you out for ice cream?
Hey, Zoey, can I
walk you to the library?
Hey, yo, Dijonay, can I
do your homework for you?
Wow, this has been
going on all day.
I've never had so much
attention in my whole life.
Now, you know
how I feel every day.
Even sticky is pushing
up on me today.
These boys are under our spell.
And we've got the
power, y'all. And I like it.
Again, welcome to my world.
Hey, I.P.D.Z., get in.
What's up, cuz?
Ah-ah-ah, that's "manager."
There's a party I
want to tell you about.
Your first personal appearance.
Hey, we want to
go to the party, too.
Uh, no, I don't think so.
Only cool kids can go.
Hey, we're cool kids.
Yeah, at the library.
Look, my friend Gary is having
a house party on Saturday
and he wants I.P.D.Z.
As his special guest.
A high school party?
Okay, calm down,
calm down, look.
There are only two things
I need you girls to do.
One, tell everybody you're 17.
Why?
Because, cool high schoolers
don't want to hang out
with middle schoolers.
And the other thing
you have to do is
wear those outfits that you
wore on hip-hop helicopter.
- No problem.
- Yes, problem.
I promised my mom I'd
never wear that outfit again.
I can't go.
Well, none of you can go.
Gary invited
I.P.D.Z., not I.D.Z.
Come on, Penny,
this is a high school
party we're talking about.
- Yeah, don't be a party pooper.
- But I promised.
Look, Proud, the
party's on Saturday.
That's the day of the
big bowling rematch.
We'll be home alone.
That's perfect.
All you girls have to do
is wear your outfits
under your regular clothes
then when we get to
the party, you switch back
and you're I.P.D.Z. Again, ooh.
What do you say, Penny?
I don't know.
Come on, Proud.
We can't do it without you.
Okay, I'll do it.
Today is the big day, Trudy. Today
Sugar Mama's team is going down.
Check this out.
Bring the grill and some sauce
because they going to get smoked.
I'm just glad that after today,
all this beating your
Mama madness will be over.
That's where you're wrong.
This is not about beating my mom.
Just admit it, Oscar. You
are very competitive with her.
That is not true.
It is.
You're competitive
about everything.
Bowling, scrabble, cards.
All right, y'all ready to go?
Last one to the
car buys the gas.
Ready, set, go!
Running to the car.
What up, Bethany?
What's up girl?
Give me some love.
Ladies, this is Gary.
He's hosting the party.
Gary, meet I.P.D.Z.
Oh, hey, welcome,
ladies, welcome.
I believe you know my good
friends, the Chang triplets.
The Chang triplets?
How did y'all get up in here?
Our mom is Gary's landlord.
I guess we are cool after all.
And rich.
This is off the hizzy.
Yo, everybody, check
it out. Check it out.
L.P.D.Z.'s up in the hiz-ouse.
Show 'em some love!
Show 'em some love, come on.
We fooled them.
They really think
we're all that.
I know I am.
So, what do you think, Penny?
You glad you came?
Yeah, I'm glad.
Hey, p., come on, let's dance.
Real glad.
Don't be nervous, Papi.
You need this spare to win.
Don't choke.
That's it, we won!
Who's the man, now, Mama?
You are, son.
The better team won tonight.
And you know this.
That's enough, Oscar.
Yeah, you two be good sports.
Yeah, you're right.
Hey, Oscar, let's treat
these losers to pizza.
That's a good idea, Felix.
I'm going to order a cheese,
sausage And crow pizza for you, Mama.
Okay, we held up our part of
the deal by throwing the game.
Now, you two hold up your part of
the deal and throw us some ducats.
Finally, some
reward for my pain.
Lord, I just love the
way that man talks.
I just want to thank you guys
for letting our husbands win.
Now, they can ignore
us like they normally do.
What's funny?
Come on, let us in on the joke.
So, p., you have
another letter in your life?
You know, a boyfriend?
No, not at this time.
Then we should start
hanging out sometime.
- What you think?
- Me? I think
I think I'm going to
get back to you, okay?
Excuse me.
These guys are whack.
They don't even look
you in the eye, you know?
Yeah, I talked to this
guy for 15 minutes
and he didn't even
ask me my name.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's like they're looking
right through you.
What's up with you three?
Okay, the guys
say you're trippin'.
Us? They're the ones trippin'.
Yeah, all they want to do is
I don't know exactly what they
want to do, but we're not doing it.
Guys, look, grow up.
Okay, when they're not looking at
you is when you need to be worried.
We're only 14.
We have nothing to worry about.
Look, quit acting like babies
and get with the program.
Either that, or go home.
You know what, Bethany?
I guess I don't
get your program.
I guess I'm just an
uncool middle schooler.
Tell you what, we'll
get out of your way
and you tell Mekhi Phifer over
there to stay out of our way, cool?
Let's bounce, y'all.
Fine, you're fired.
Come on, Zoey. We're leaving.
No, I love the power.
You can't make me give it up.
No, Zoey, come on.
No, I want to stay.
Look at 'em. They
do whatever I say.
I am woman!
Ooh, I made it.
No one's here. Got
away with another one.
You guys see what I see?
It's what we don't see.
We left our clothes
in Bethany's car.
We're toast.
Not yet. My parents aren't home.
Okay, now we're toast.
Well, I'm grounded.
Me, too.
Me, three.
Ditto.
I've learned my lesson.
I don't care about the power.
I'm not ever wearing
that outfit again.
Shoot, my Mama burned mine.
Yeah.
My daddy put mine
in a paper shredder.
I don't hear you.
Earth to Zoey.
I'm wearing mine under
my clothes right now.
I love the power. Goodbye.
Dang!
