introduce us to your date?

Yeah. Monique, this is the crew,

and crew, this right here is Monique.

So, Monique, how'd you two meet?

Monique.

How'd you two meet?

Monique.

Don't speak English.

Oh.

She said she's half Haitian

and half French.

So, how do you two communicate?

Ah, you know, body language, man.

You know, just,

we can feel each other.

Hey, Monique,

you want to get el drinko?

Ladies, we're going

to the restroom now.

Next time you hire an escort,

try one that speaks English.

Whoa.

You, seriously. Come on, Matt.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

All right, what were you thinking?

The whole school's gonna know.

And when my mom

sees her credit card bill,

my ass is gonna be extra crispy.

- Extra crispy.

- Shut up.

He paid that tall chick that talk funny?

Oh, my God. Que, please take

your doodle-mama for a walk.

Whoa, whoa, bro.

What'd that fat nigga say?

'Cause you know I don't play that sh*t.

I know, baby.

Come on, let's go, baby.

How many times you want

to get beat up tonight?

Your mom's already

coming for that ass.

She's about to be on you.

Come on, man.

Look, you cannot buy your way

into winning the bet.

That's called cheating.

So you talk to him yet?

No, he was so busy

trying to beg for the car

and get to prom.

Did you talk to him?

- No.

- Okay.

I don't even know

who he is sometimes.

I don't think he knows who he is.

- Wanna dance?

- Why you being a b*tch?

Dude, do you see that over there?

Paco's getting the taco,

and I'm getting the bill.

Man, don't worry about him.

It's our night tonight.

Dude, mood change, frowny face.

Come on, man,

nobody's gonna win the stupid bet.

Not yet.

- You want to talk to him now?

- Here?

Yeah, we're all together.

You're the principal,

and there's no time like the present.

- Come on, man.

- All right, so how about a bomb?

- Yeah?

- All right, man.

Bomb!

Excuse me, gentlemen.

- Your teacher...

- And your principal wants to see you.

Give us a minute.

Have fun.

What you did today

was some risky sh*t.

You put yourself

and your future in jeopardy.

Now, look, we're just trying

to keep 16-year-old Hendrix

from messing up the life

of 20- or 30-year-old Hendrix.

I'm sorry.

No, you're not, you just want to get

your ass back in there with your friends.

Now, you know Mom and I

don't always agree.

You're a good businessman.

You know how to handle money,

save it, and make it.

And your GPA came way up,

which proves that you can

succeed academically

if you focus.

But there's a lot of smart

rich people out there, son,

and they're spiritually broke.

You know why?

'Cause they don't do anything

for anybody else.

What the world needs

are people with heart.

And that's what you

showed us today.

You made us proud, son.

We can teach you a lot of things, but...

we can't teach you heart,

So, whatever money you've managed

to put away in your car fund,

we're gonna match.

So I get double.

No.

No, you get triple.

We're both gonna match it.

Oh! I'm gonna be rollin'.

- You like that, huh?

- Uh-huh.

Thank you, GUYS-

Hey, go have fun.

Michelle Bailey!

You did good.

I've never really thought

of myself as amazing,

but this truly shows me that

that's how you guys think I am.

And I just wanted to say, Maya,

we're both winners tonight.

Whoo!

Okay, everybody, one of our seniors

has a special message

for a special friend up in here.

Miss Cheyenne Davis,

come on now.

Y'all give it up.

If there ever comes a time

you ever want to play

Play with me

If there ever comes a day

when you need a friend

Stay with me

Baby, come take my hand

Walk around with me, yeah

More than just a friend

More than just a friend

I don't want to say goodbye

Spread my wings and fly

More than just a friend

It's not so easy to fly

Now that I've found love

You okay?

Go ahead and laugh.

Everyone else is.

I didn't come here to laugh at you.

Jackie.

What happened to your, uh...

Cage?

Yeah, I don't have to wear it anymore.

I know it was kind of hard to see

who I was under that thing.

Anyway, I was wondering

if maybe you'd like to dance?

To be truly honest,

I don't even dance that well

on slow songs.

Oh, well, it's been

like two years for me,

so, if you'd rather not...

I mean, if you want to,

we can try, yeah.

Just, not really in the middle.

Maybe here?

Yeah, okay.

Cool.

Ice cream on your body

I don't mind licking off

Oh, darling, hold tight

Everything is so right

All you gotta do

You think we could have that?

Who knows what we could have

if you keep singing to me?

So what's gonna happen with us?

I got into Columbia.

Full scholarship.

Wow. New York.

Maybe, if I get my grades

even higher next year,

say, 4.0,

I might be able to get

into a good school, too.

Hopefully Columbia.

I mean, if, for example,

you had the right tutoring

over the summer.

Oh, yeah.

And the right motivation.

You know, I'm a visual learner.

Right. You're a hands-on learner, too.

Exactly. Hands-on everywhere.

Just knowing how things fit into place,

- and, you know.

- Shut up, fool.

Okay, okay. Seriously.

If I get a 4.0 this year,

then you...

Are you trippin'? You're crazy.

- That'll definitely keep me motivated.

- It's not gonna happen.

Please?

My dad says that was the year

I finally got my eagle's feather.

It's also the year I got to hook up

with Cheyenne in my own car.

Shauniqua and Que,

they fell in love.

She traded the hood

for the trailer park.

But, hey, they're happy.

Believe it or not, Calvin became

a Log Cabin Republican.

And Michelle, she eventually

ran for Congress,

and Obama, well, he helped

her run the campaign.

I hope for his sake,

he's still hitting that.

- Who the party?

- We the party!

Get it, get it started

It ain't who you know,

it's who you are

'Cause you the party

We the party, we the people

After all the rapping,

my brother became

a music attorney.

And believe it or not, he works

with those two douchebag guys.

You know, Finklestein

and What's-his-face.

Quicktime and Sharon,

they moved in together,

'til she kicked him out for cheating,

and for a while, he was homeless.

Karma's a b*tch, ain't it?

My mom and dad?

They still have the hots for each other,

but they don't know I know about it.

C.C. hooked back up

with his baby mama,

and has a hit song on the radio.

His brother and the scary Cyclops dude,

I think they're doing time for mail fraud.

Rumor has it Reggie got injured

and opened a unisex hair salon.

Jackie and Chowder?

They won a trip to Barbados.

Love, the sun,

and all-you-can-eat buffet.

I want to know, who the party?

We the pa-pa-p8-D3-Pam! 3

Life takes off before

you even go to college

But you gotta get control of it

before you can't stop it

Reflections of the king

on the mind of a young man

Does what he can,

doesn't have a plan

My dad's ready to see you now.

But you don't understand

why everything you do

Gets buried in the sand
