The Cheetah Girls Page #5

Mom, things were different

back in your day, OK?

If Jackal says we're ready,

then we must be ready.

My day, your day -

a snake is still a snake.

Where she gettin' them glasses from?

Where she gettin' them glasses from?

This week has been crazy, Julia.

But I promise you will get your time

with the Cheetah Girls.

We trust you'll get our story right, but I will

need photo sign-off. You understand.

And I promise you will be short-listed

as soon as the movie deal comes along.

- "Movie"?

- And it will.

I'll sign this for you later.

That's what he said. Jackal is...

- Would you sign this?

- Yeah.

He just cracked me up. I know. Jackal

does that all the time. It's so annoying.

And the caller ID beeped, and guess...

Where you going? Sit back down.

Sit back down. Sit back down.

And the caller ID beeped, and guess

who it was? It was Jackal! It was Jackal!

Wait. Come back.

I was telling you... Is it over?

- Yo, what's the story?

- It's not our story.

It's Galleria's. And it's written

all over the walls.

"Sick of Cheetah?

Click on ChompCheetah. Com"?

We have a bashing site?

Yo, it's really kind of funny

how people are so jealous.

Jealous? You don't even get it.

Galleria's over the top.

Look, I know she's tough, but she believes

in what we're doing, and you gotta...

Yeah, save it for your book, Chanel.

We live here, and we go to school here.

She's making it really hard

to wear Cheetah spots.

Look, all I'm saying is

someone needs to talk to her.

And when I say "somebody"

I mean you.

I will.

Yeah, I'm gonna talk to her.

When the time is right,

I'll talk to her.

...and then I was like "Dude, relax."

And he's all...

And I fed him some worms, is all.

We don't really hang out much any more.

Anyway, uh, and before I go,

I just want to say my mother...

Rick, you only get three minutes.

Always leave them laughing.

All right, girls,

let's get this rehearsal started.

Actually, Drinka, I would like to

rehearse our new song first.

No. Honey, you got to boogie-oogie-oogie

through the number for your talent show.

Oh. Drinka, you know we met

with Jackal on Monday, right?

Mm-hm.

I heard it through the grapevine.

Well, he wants us to record

our new song on Saturday.

You're not doing the talent show?

Well, you know, I'm gonna

try my best to be there.

But, hey, you know how

these things go, Drinka.

No, I don't know. Why don't you

tell me how they go?

Wait a second. Drinka, I thought

you would be happy for us.

I mean, you're the one who

hooked us up in the first place.

Jackal is just here, you know,

to get our stuff out.

It's kind of like we already won

the talent show, isn't it? Right?

No. Not really.

But you don't know that.

Opportunity's knocking, Drinka.

And I think you know better than I that

once it's gone, you just can't get it back.

Right, right.

You know what?

All I have is this school,

you kids, and my word.

And, sweetie,

I always keep my word.

Come on, boys, you're up.

Yo, Galleria, that was really harsh.

Fine. Then you call Jackal.

"Jackal, we can't do the tour

because we've got a talent show."

Well, are we going to do it or not?

Because I've got somewhere to be.

Then go on, Dorinda.

We're gonna be doing music anyway,

so, since you mostly dance...

You know what? You're right.

That is what I mostly do.

Ugh. Whatever.

Oh, girl, wait. I got you something.

Wait a second, Dorinda. Look at this.

I got you these cute

little clippings of outfits,

which you could probably put together

and hook it up for the next time

we see Jackal.

Hey, Do.

Take it. Because it's not optional.

And, uh...

where exactly are you gonna go get your

personality makeover? Because I forgot...

Hold it down with the whack attack, Do.

We love you. OK?

We just don't want you to look torn up

and chanky next time you see Jackal.

- Torn up?

- Yeah.

How about this for torn up?

Whoa. Some people just don't know

how they're coming off to others.

She'll thank me in the long run.

Yeah.

Miss Chanel?

The time is now.

All right, let's take it from the top.

Remember, it's supposed to be fun.

Like a day at the park. So let me see

lots of smiles, lots of energy.

All right. Let me get the first group.

Come on, here we go.

- All right, pick it up.

- Don't lose your spot.

That's good.

Come on.

Don't get lost.

Keep up with it.

- Ha!

- Ooh, yes.

That's what I'm talking about. Keep it

clean, keep it short. Have some fun.

- Hit it.

- That's nice. Harder. Hit it. Hit it.

All right. Yeah, there we go.

Watch her. She's got it.

One, two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, jump. Get up.

Yeah, OK. Next group, come on.

Watch that elbow.

Pick it up. Come on, you guys.

Come on.

- What's the name of that dancer?

- That's Dorinda. Yeah.

She's pretty good.

I like what I'm seeing. OK.

Pick it up. All right.

That's good. Let's stop a minute.

Cut the music. All right. Everyone stop.

Very nice.

That's good enough for today.

Guys, just hang out for a second.

I'm going to let you go shortly.

All right, all right. Give me a minute,

I gotta talk to someone.

Hey, Dorinda. Hey, you were

working hard out there, you know?

- Good job, good job. You look great.

- I'm glad I could help.

Listen. There are a few parts

in this show you'd be perfect for.

Think about coming on tour

with us this summer.

- Me, on tour with the Gold Medal Crew?

- That's right. Ten weeks.

There are other kids in this show and

it's like summer camp, but you get paid.

Wait. You get paid?

Girl, you dance like a pro, you get paid like

a pro. Have your parents take a look at this.

- If they say yes, return it to me.

- My parents? OK, all right.

- Good.

- I'll get back to you.

The following people,

thank you very much.

- We're going to come back to this, OK?

- Oh, man.

Ma?

Ma?

I'm feeling shoe shoppy.

I knew it was too good to be true.

"Luc surprised me with tickets to a

Broadway show, so I couldn't say no."

"You take my card

and have a good time."

"Get something we both can wear

and look tight. Love, Mommy."

"We need to spend more time together."

Yeah, right.

Nobody's home.

Nobody's ever home.

Hey, we're not here. Leave your name

and number after the beep.

Nita, Gail from Moving On Realtors.

If you still want to put your

apartment up for sale, give a shout.

We'll do an open house.

Here's a shout. You can send

that one right back, special delivery.

No one's moving out.

Oh, yeah. I'll have a good time.

- Hi. The Thomases, please.

- There's no Thomases here.

Really?

Dorinda Thomas. About this tall,

always has, like, a dance bag with her?

Oh, her. Take the alley around.

Superintendent's apartment.

"Alley"?

Hello?

- I told y'all to stop running in the house.

- Come here.

I'm looking for Dorinda Thomas,

but I must have the wrong...

No, no. She's here. Dorinda?

You got a visitor, honey.

- Hey, Chanel.

- Hey.

Mom, this is my friend Chanel. Remember,

I told you about the Cheetah Girls?
