All right. Well, just make sure

it's coming from the dean's office.

Stewart, something's just come up.

l'll have to get back to you.

-No problem.

-You don't have to get off the phone.

Don't be silly. How's my baby?

l'm doing good.

I heard

that you've been spending time,,,

,,,with this young man, DJ,

Oh, you heard.

So, what, did Grant call you?

-Well, we spoke briefly--

-You know what, Dad?

Ever since you've introduced me

to Grant, he's all you talk about.

Grant's gonna be a perfect provider,

and oh, Grant's going to the top,

Grant just thinks the world of you.

You know what?

How about you and Grant hook up

and leave me out of it?

Watch your tongue, young lady.

This is ridiculous.

l gotta go, Dad.

-Hi.

-What's up?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Hey, you know,

if you wanna talk, l'm here.

Thanks.

All right.

Congratulations.

Why didn't you tell me

you pledged?

Maybe l wanted to surprise you.

As if l didn't already know.

What?

l like your earrings. They're nice.

-They're new, right?

-Yeah.

You noticed them?

l notice everything about you.

-Oh, yeah?

-Yeah.

So, what's my favorite color?

Well....

You always wear green eye shadow.

Your favorite ring has green in it.

And l'm gonna bet your car is green.

Right?

We should probably get started.

Yeah.

Countdown, fellas,

For the next six weeks,

we prepare for the step show.

Since we don't have time,

other members and l...

...will take you through the basics

and break it down for you.

Some of you may think

you know what stepping is,

Keep going!

-But I assure you,,,

-Freeze!

,,,until you have stepped

with Theta Nu Theta,,,you just don't,

One more time.

lt's gonna be a long day.

Come on, Thetas!

-Move it, move it!

-I will do my part,

But I need you to promise

to do yours,

From this moment forward,

I will be your Step Master,

-Come on. Let's go, baby boy.

-I teach, you learn,

Let's go.

Come on.

l'd like to see

a dessert menu, please.

So how was your dinner?

-lt was good.

-Good, good.

April, there's been something

l've been wanting to talk to you about.

lt belonged to my grandmother.

lt's beautiful.

Try it on.

Grant....

What's my favorite color?

Red. Why?

No, no, no.

Blue.

What's this about?

l don't know.

Please tell me this has nothing

to do with that kid.

l'm sorry.

lf you don't come to your senses

and quick...

...you are going to lose out on me.

l really can't believe

you just said that.

You are spoiled and ungrateful,

and l'm taking you home.

You know what?

Don't bother.

My favorite color's green, a**hole.

T-H-E-T-A!

All right, stop. Stop!

Please, put some heart

into what you're doing, fellas.

Can l ask a stupid question?

Better than anyone l know.

What?

l just wanted to know

why we're stepping in an empty pool.

Well, it was so we could keep

our moves a secret.

But who would want them?

Let's pick this back up

tomorrow at 8.

-Eight?

-Eight?

You got a problem with 8?

Let's make it 7.

-What?

-Oh, man.

l'm out of here.

Are they putting this in the show?

l don't think so. You know Sylvester.

He doesn't like anything street

in his routines.

Good.

For us.

-Hey.

-Hey.

What's wrong?

l broke up with him.

You okay?

l haven't slept all night.

What have you been doing?

Thinking.

What are you thinking?

l think l wanna come in.

Come on.

Don't forget. We gotta practice

on those new steps later on today.

Check this out.

Nice ride.

l'll see you guys later.

We'll pick it up first thing

in the morning.

lf any of you have any conflicts

with your class schedules...

...let me know.

Prophytes.

We have been going strong

for over two weeks now.

And we still suck.

We've got four weeks left.

That's easy for you to say.

You can do this stuff in your sleep.

The problem is these lame-ass steps

they got us doing, man.

So, what you saying?

lnstead of us trying to fit step, we

gotta make step fit our natural rhythm.

Here.

That's nice.

We're gonna try doing

something like that.

-All right, we're gonna try something.

-How do you do that?

Right on the beat.

You just hit it real quick. You go:

Throw it in gear. You come here.

What the hell was that?

The steps you taught us

was played.

You can't expect us to beat the Mus

with that and you know it.

l'm trying to give something fresh.

Are we doing a step show,

or are we doing a rap video?

lt's a new day, man.

l mean, l didn't sign on

to be no loser.

No, losing, it's a state of mind.

-What?

-No disrespect, my brother.

But this frat has been living in that

state for the last seven years.

The reason you're holding on

to tradition...

...is because you cannot keep up

with the present.

l'll make you a bet.

You go and you get

your line brothers together.

And l'll get my guys.

And we'll throw down.

-You're on.

-Tomorrow night.

At the Phoenix.

You sure about this, man?

Yeah, man. l got you.

All right, y'all. We got the brothers

from the TNT step team in the house.

Y'all know what it is.

lt's the age-old battle.

Old school versus new school.

Here come the Neophytes.

Time for the Prophytes to counter.

Oh, yeah.

Here we go. Here we go.

Oh, wait a minute,

they're doing the real thing.

They're bringing the real stepping

into the mix.

Okay, what you got for me, fool?

Let me see you bring it.

Hold on, hold on. What's happening

with this kid? What's he doing?

Oh, no, that's not gonna fly,

Phoenix.

Y'all know the rules.

Group against group.

What are you doing?

Come on, man.

This is about the team.

Man, why didn't you stick

with the plan?

All my people in the Phoenix.

The prophytes of Theta Nu Theta

wanna show these neos how it's done.

Prophytes step together now!

Yeah.

Hands down. No doubt about it.

Show some love.

Y'all know what it is.

Old school wins. Old school wins.

Phoenix, you know you cannot mess

with the prophytes of Theta Nu Theta.

Prophytes! Prophytes! Prophytes!

-Y'all, l was just--

-Look, next time you show off...

...do it on your own time, and save us

the practice you put us through.

We hardly did any stepping.

You know we should have won that.

-lt was a slanted crowd. Come on.

-Please.

lt ain't always about you, dog.

We're a team.

Come on, man.

It's not just about you,

it's about all of us, We're a team,

What's up?

l owe all you guys an apology.

l just wanna be part of the team.

That's good.

Because l'm gonna need you to teach

all of us some of your moves...

...if we're gonna have any kind

of shot at Nationals.

Pizzas and beer on me!

l'll take my car. Who else is driving?

M-U!

Gamma Xi!

Let's go! Let's go! Go!

-M-U!

-Gamma Xi!

-M-U!

-Gamma Xi!

Mu Gamma!

Top of the rock, baby.

Top of the rock. Come on.

Thetas, Thetas, we rep the Thetas,
