The Proud Family (2001) s02e18 Episode Script

This is like
a dream come true.
We’re working
at Wizingdales,
the hottest store
in town!
Yeah, they hired us
right on the spot.
Ooh, girl,
this is off the heezy.
All those fly clothes,
the lights and the music.
This is going to be
like working in a club.
I’m going to hook my man Sticky up
with something funky.
We’re working
in the ’Tween department,
not the short and stout.
I’m going to let that
one slide, LaCienega,
since your man Wizard Kelly, Jr.
hooked us up with a paycheck. Hey!
Come on, y’all.
Let’s go celebrate.
I’m down. let’s go.
Woo-hoo!
LaCienega,
aren’t you coming?
Sorry, girls, I’ve got a date.
And here he comes now.
Hey, LaCienega, you ready
to go to the movie?
Sure thing, Wizzy.
Got to go, girls.
Hey, thanks
for the job hookup, Li’l Wiz.
No problemo.
Any friend of LaCienega’s
is a friend of mine.
Then how about dropping
us off at the McWizard’s
in that bomb limo?
Hey! Dang, he could have
at least said no.
Who cares?
Because we’re working at
(All)

Yeowch!
( babies baby-talking )
(Oscar) Okay, Bebe and Cece,
look into the camera.
Smile. Now say something.
What the?!
Ow! Trudy, come get your kids!
Oh, Oscar,
haven’t you had enough?
You’ve been shooting all day.
That battery hasn’t run out yet?
Nope, I got 15 extra ones.
Enough to shoot
for a week straight.
Boy, get that camera off me.
Shh, everybody be quiet.
I’ve got a picture
of the legendary bigfoot.
I got your bigfoot all right.
Yow!
Daddy, can I have my allowance?
Why? I thought you had a job.
I haven’t been paid yet.
Yeah, you know
about that, Oscar.
It’s just like your job.
Give that girl some money.
Please, Daddy, it’s lunch money.
-Okay, here you go.
-Yeah!
But since
you’re working now,
it’s no longer called an allowance.
It’s called a loan.
Thank you, Daddy. Bye, Daddy.
Get up, Oscar. We have to
take the twins to the zoo.
(Oscar) Come on, Trudy. The twins don’t
want to go to Suga Mama’s house.
Ha-ha! You missed.
Ow!
Hey, guys,
I don’t know.
Shouldn’t we be working
or something?
Uh-uh. I’m like Usher,
I’m working it out!
Hey, this is my jam.
Come on, Sticky.
Dijonay, no!
Just check me out,
okay?
What do you think
I been doing?
Quit fooling around, Dijonay.
Here’s comes the manager.
Hi, I’m Randi,
department manager.
Is everything to your satisfaction,
handsome?
Have you seen our sale rack?
Now I have, mama.
I’ll take everything
including your seven digits.
Now why don’t you just step
right over here
and I’ll ring you up.
Check him out!
Take note, girls.
You have to mingle
with the customers.
You mean, you want us
to talk to the guys?
Especially the guys.
Watch a pro,
and you’re paycheck will grow.
Ooh, I love this job.
I think I can work here forever.
I can’t believe
guys are that stupid.
You give them a compliment,
and they’ll buy anything.
(Penny)
This is going to be tight. Watch.
That shirt looks
very good on you.
It makes you look muscular
like Vin Diesel.
I’ll take it.
Wow, it works!
Hey, you, that looks good
on you. Buy it!
Uh okay.
This is great!
Oh-oh, parent alert. Parent alert.
Welcome to Wizingdales.
You know, I’ve got
just the jacket for you.
It will go perfectly with those
massive shoulders of yours.
Did you ever play
professional football?
Well, I do play a little flag football
every now and then.
I’ll take that jacket,
one in every color.
No, you won’t.
We’re here to see
our daughter, Penny.
Penny is your daughter?
Oh, now I know where she gets
her good looks from.
I’m Randi, Penny’s manager.
And this blouse would
look fabulous on you.
It makes you look
so much younger.
I mean, how old are you,
anyway? 25?
You know,
I think you’re right.
Mom, Dad, what are
you guys doing here?
I’m trying to buy a jacket
but your mama’s clothes blocking.
Actually, we came here
to videotape you
at your new job, baby.
That’s right, baby girl.
Now stand right next to Randi
and smile.
Stop it, Daddy.
You’re embarrassing Randi.
Aw, it’s all right, Penny.
I don’t mind.
Is this good?
Oh, it’s working for me.
While you guys are playing Candid Camera
I’ll go browsing with the twins.
Hey, LaCienega, hey, Wizard, Jr.
You can call me Li’l Wiz.
That’s my street nomenclature.
Hey, Li’l Wiz.
Thanks for the hookup.
Yeah, this place is off the chain.
No problemo.
Anything for my girl’s girls.
So, LaCienega,
why don’t we check out
those new, uh, chrono
uh, uh, new watches?
Wizard collects watches.
Isn’t he the flyest guy
you ever met?
No, but he is the richest.
True dat, true dat.
So what exactly
are you looking for?
Oh, I don’t know.
2A little trinket
for the girl in my life.
Well, she might like this
or this or this.
Come on, Daddy.
Don’t you have enough?
Just a little bit more.
(Suga Mama)
Hey, Oscar, get a shot of this.
(Oscar screams)
What’s wrong, baby?
Did you break your camera?
No, worse.
(groans)
(Trudy)
Oh, look, a petting zoo.
(animals bleating)
Trudy, I didn’t come here
for some petting zoo.
I want to see lions
and tigers and bears.
We didn’t come down here
for you, Oscar.
We’re here
for the kids.
Trudy love the kids.
Trudy, if the only reason
why we came here
is to pet an old goat,
we could have stayed home
and petted Suga Mama’s head.
-(laughs)
-Get him.
Trudy!
(trumpeting)
Look, Bebe and Cece,
an elephant.
Hey, that’s old Jumbo.
We used to shoot him with water guns
when we were kids.
Old Jumbo.
(laughing)
(trumpeting)
We should have called him
Old Dumbo.
Boy, I’d back it up
if I was you.
You know what they say.
Elephants never forget.
(laughs)
You would know,
wouldn’t you, Mama?
Yeah, we used to have fun
with old Jumbo here.
We’d put apples in his water
and they’d get stuck in his trunk.
(chuckles)
Oscar
I’m telling a story, Trudy.
Okay, twins, when I was
a little more than your age
I was king of the jungle.
Feared by all.
Watch this.
Whoa! It looks like Jumbo’s
been dipping in the gumbo.
Yow! Mama!
Ooh, I can’t believe
this has happened.
Trudy, we got to do something.
I’ll go get help.
No, go get another battery.
(yelling gibberish)
Keep running, boy!
I’m getting it all on tape for you.
Ow!
Trudy, cancel
that battery order.
"Ape World"? Hey, Mama
Watch it, boy.
Skating on thin ice.
What? All I was going to do was say
I remember you bringing me here
as a boy.
Should have left you here, too.
Bebe and Cece, it says here
that there are three types of gorillas
and this Mountain gorilla
is the most endangered.
Hey, Trudy, shoot me feeding him
a Proud snack.
Didn’t you read that sign, boy?
He’s endangered.
Now you’re trying
to make him extinct.
If I could do that,
I’d feed him to you.
Here you go, big boy.
Proud snacks.
One swallow will make
your taste buds holler.
(roars)
Look at that.
See, Mama?
He’s hollering.
(yelling)
Hollering? Shoot, looks like one bite
made him want to fight.
(laughs)
A show of hands. Is this the best job
in the whole wide world?
(All)
Right! Right!
Show of hands
Is Randi the best boss
in the whole wide world?
(All)
Right! Right!
Aren’t I the best salesperson
in the whole wide world?
Whose boyfriend hooked us all up?
(All)
Right! Right!
Well, you girls are a lot of fun.
I just want to say (gasps).
Hold up.
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
Where’s the platinum chronometer?
Excuse me?
Did I stutter?
The platinum 24-karat
chronometer is missing.
Who sold it?
I didn’t sell it.
Did you sell it, Dijonay?
No, not me.
Must have been LaCienega.
No watches here. Penny?
Penny, what?
I sold a pair of designer socks
and a nose ring, but no watch.
If you didn’t sell the watch,
and I didn’t sell the watch
then why is the watch missing?
-I don’t know.
-(imitates buzzer)
Wrong answer, forehead.
(gasps, shrieks)
I’m afraid you’ve left me
no choice, girls.
No choice at all.
Well, this day certainly
turned out to be a bummer.
Yeah, I can’t believe
Randi fired us.
(All)
Us?!
Okay you guys,
but I feel your pain.
I’m gonna miss each
and every one of you.
Even you, Proud.
Who would have thought
that someone who was so cool
would turn out to be so uncool?
Yeah, we should have
flattened the tires
on that witch’s broom
before we left.
I didn’t even have a chance
to use my 10% discount.
Look, you guys have
obviously forgotten
you’re connected
to very powerful people.
That’s right, you’re dating Wizard, Jr.
And when I see him tonight,
I’m going to tell him
to make Randi rehire you guys.
(all talking at once)
Just as soon
as you find the watch.
Excuse me?
Come on, a crime’s been committed.
You can’t expect Randi
to hire felons.
But we’re innocent.
That’s what they all say.
Come on, let’s think about this.
Who had access to the watch?
We all did, Penny.
We all worked there.
Right, but who showed
watches today? I didn’t.
Me either.
I didn’t either, but I saw Wizzy and Dizzy
getting busy by the watch counter.
So Wizard, Jr. wants to buy me
something special.
That’s what rich boyfriends do.
So you and the little Wizzy
were the only two
to come in contact
with the item in question.
Where you going
with this Scooby Do-rag?
It’s so obvious. If LaCienega
didn’t steal the watch
then it must have been
the little Wizard, Jr., y’all.
You’re right. I mean
he’s got all the motive.
He already owns
every watch ever made
his father owns the store
and his pockets are figgety phat.
Wait a minute.
That’s wickety wack.
Why would he want
to steal a watch?
I agree with the
real Roxanne.
Wickety why would he?
I diggety don’t know.
You were with him.
Diggety have a platinum watch?
And what if he did?
It’s his dad’s store.
It’s not really stealing.
As long as you make him really
give the watch back
I don’t care what you call it.
(both talking at once)
But if I accuse him of being a thief
he’ll be offended
and want to break up with me
and I’ll lose the limo rides,
the dinners, the movies,
the concerts,
the no waiting in lines.
And if you don’t,
you lose us.
-Buh-bye.
-Hold up.
We were here before
he swept you off your feet
and we’ll be here
when he drops you.
Are you actually going
to put him before us?
Okay, what part of "buh-bye"
didn’t you understand?
(LaCienega)
See ya.
Maybe we should flatten
the tires on her broom.
(pained yell)
-(watery gurgle)
-Pipe down, pal.
What happened to Daddy?
Oh, you know the zoo,
a dangerous animal,
stupid comment typical story.
Oh. Hi, Dr. Pain.
Hi, Itty-bitty.
Hey, baby, how was
your first day at work?
The same as my last day.
I got fired.
-What?!
-Who fired my grand-baby?
Randi. A watch was missing
so she fired all of us
except LaCienega.
Why didn’t LaCienega
get fired?
’Cause she’s Wizard, Jr.’s girlfriend
and he’s the one who took the watch.
Just ain’t right, just ain’t right.
Somebody falsely accusing
my baby of wrongdoing.
I ain’t standing for it.
Puff, get my shoes.
Now, wait a minute, Suga Mama.
Penny, are you sure
he took the watch?
(grunting, yelling)
It’s the only way
to get all the water out.
(grunting, yelling)
But he’s hurting me, Trudy.
Listen to the doctor,
Oscar, please.
He’s a trained professional.
Quiet, sucka!
Let’s go, Penny. Suga Mama knows
how to get to the bottom of this.
Don’t know who the Wizard
thinks he’s messing with.
You’re no thief and I don’t
appreciate that Randi girl
treating you like one.
-Now, where is his house?
-Way up there.
Oh, baby, that’s not far at all.
Come on. We’ve come too far
to turn back now.
Besides, the sooner we get to walking,
the sooner we’ll get there.
All right, Suga Mama.
You know, rich as Wizard is,
seems to me he’d have
a faster way to get up here.
Stairs or something.
(grunts and groans)
You okay, Suga Mama?
Yeah, I’m okay.
Don’t I look okay?
Uh, yeah, like a million bucks.
(screams)
Suga Mama,
did you hear that scream?
Oh-oh-oh, baby,
it’s just Suga Mama’s bunions.
(all screaming)
We’re here
(laughing)
Thank you for the
Pennyback ride, baby.
-May I help you?
-I’m Suga Mama,
and this is my grand-baby.
And we’re here
to see the Wizard.
This isn’t Oz.
Do you have an appointment?
No, I don’t.
But my fist has one with your big fat name
written all over it.
Mr. Wizard, you have company.
Well, Suga Mama Proud
and young Penny Proud.
What can the Wizard
do for you ladies today?
Can I offer you a delicious
Salisbury Steak dinner?
A refreshing libation?
No, we don’t want your food.
Where’s the Wizard boy?
Wizard Jr.?
I believe he’s
in the west wing TV room
watching a G-rated movie
with his girlfriend.
What seems to be the problem?
The problem is your boy’s a thief,
and Penny and her friends
have been blamed
for his chicanery.
Those are awfully powerful
and complicated words, Suga Mama.
I think we need to get
to the bottom of this.
Uh, butler, get me a dictionary.
Wizard J. We got guests, son.
What are you doing here, Proud?
Trying to find out
what happened to that watch.
What watch?
You know the watch.
You’re the one that took it.
You need to give it back.
The Wiz didn’t take nobody’s watch.
Well, LaCienega
said you took it.
(LaCienega)
Honey, Wizzy
I can explain.
No need to explain.
Just read the boy his rights.
Check this out.
Aha!
Cold busted, buddy.
Give me that.
You are a thief.
You got my friends fired!
Yep, stole from your own daddy.
I believe this belongs to you,
Wizard Kelly.
Looks like it’s the big house
for you, Little Wiz.
You right, Suga Mama.
The Wizard’s big
billion-dollar mansion.
While you guys were accusing,
you should have been perusing.
(reading)
"To Our Loving Son,"
"Wizard Jr. Love Always Ginger Snaps
and Wizard Kelly Sr. Ya’ll"
Oops.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Proud, this is all your fault.
What?
I didn’t take the watch.
I still think Wiz Jr. is our best lead.
Don’t you, Suga Mama?
You know, Penny, I’m seeing more
and more of your daddy in you every day.
I’m home!
Hey, Penny, you’re just in time
to see how your daddy
got trunk-slapped by Jumbo.
(laughs)
Mama, just show the tape
and spare us the commentary.
What’s this?
(Suga Mama) This is when Penny
was working at that foo-foo store.
And that’s that heifer
that fired her.
Oh, we don’t to see this.
Fast-forward the tape. Quick.
Stop it, Daddy.
You’re embarrassing Randi!
Aw, it’s all right, Penny.
I don’t mind. Is this good?
(Oscar)
Oh, it’s working for me.
Okay, that’s enough.
Fast forward to the elephant.
Wait a minute. Hold up!
Roll that back.
No!
Don’t run it back!
You don’t want
to see that again, do you?
No, run it back.
I want to see it again.
Trudy, I can explain.
Okay I can’t explain.
Please don’t hurt me, please!
Right there! Stop!
Mom, Dad, look at that.
Look, there! See?
(Trudy) Oh, my, Oscar
take a look at this.
Maybe you ought to change their names
from Bebe and Cece to Bonnie and Clyde.
The watch!
(door rattling)
Oh, my!
Take a look at this!
Man, our babies are good!
I mean bad.
(elephant trumpeting)
Boy, do I owe LaCienega
a big apology.
Anyway, it was my brother
and sister who took the watch.
I’m sorry I got you in trouble
with Wizard Jr.
That’s all right, Proud.
I was going to break it off
with him anyway.
I was dating him
for all the wrong reasons.
Because he was
rich and powerful,
and not for what
truly mattered.
You mean for what was inside?
How you felt about him
and how he felt about you?
No.
How cute he was.
-So are we girls again?
-We never were.
Yeah, that works for me.
Try these pants on.
They’ll look caliente on you, Papi.
-Hey, girls, what’s up?
-We found the watch, Randi.
My brother and sister took it.
I know, I saw it
on our surveillance tapes. Sorry.
So when do we start back?
I’m ready to get to work.
No can do, ladies.
-You’ve been replaced, y’all.
-Replaced? Already?
Yes, Wizard Jr.
has a new girlfriend.
I hired her and her
and her ashy crew today.
A’ight, Proud, if you ain’t buying,
you gotta bounce up out of here.
We’ve been replaced
by the Gross sisters?
Eww!
Okay, I’m going to let that one slide,
Boulevardez,
as since you
lost your man and all.
(Wiz Junior)
Shnookums!
’Cause I might retire after this.
You guys ready? Beyonce’s party
has already started, y’all.
Randi, I’m out.
Check you mañana.
(All)
Dang!
(giggling)
