Episode 7

BOBBY thinks - Damn, it's late! I wish I didn't call that one chick back! She
talked my ear off and now I'm running late!

(BOBBY looks at the clock.)

BOBBY - Hopefully some women will still be there when I get there.

(There is a knock on BOBBY's door.)

BOBBY - Oh God I hope this isn't another girl! Why do they want me so bad? Ha
ha ha!

(There is another knock on the door.)

BOBBY - Coming! Hold your horses!

(BOBBY opens the door.)

BOBBY - Hey! What's up frat!
QUINTON - What's up bruh! Can I come in?
BOBBY - Uh...yeah...sure. I was just about to leave to go to the skeephi
party though.
QUINTON - This won't take long.
BOBBY thinks - Damn.

(BOBBY lets QUINTON after they grip.)

BOBBY - So what's up man? You're not goin' to the party?
QUINTON - Naw.

(QUINTON has his back turned to BOBBY.)

BOBBY - Why not? All the bros are rolling over there.

(QUINTON turns around.)

QUINTON - Not really in the mood.
BOBBY - What the hell is eatin' you?

(QUINTON pausses and holds back tears.)

QUINTON - You won man. You won.
BOBBY - Won? Won what?
QUINTON - You're the better man bruh. It's over, I give in. I throw in the
towel.
BOBBY - Q, what the heck are you babbling about man?
QUINTON - Alexis man. She loves you and not me. She's yours. You won fair and square.
BOBBY - What?
QUINTON - She doesn't want me. She wants you! So I just wanted to come by and tell you that.
BOBBY - Quinton stop talking crazy man! Alexis loves you! She's a good girl and your a good brother.
QUINTON - Then why did she come to my crib crying about how she aint over you and how she don't want you dating Paula?
BOBBY thinks - Oh God I love this!
BOBBY - Quinton she did that? She said those things to you?
QUINTON - Yes! Yes she did!
BOBBY - Don't be a fool Quinton. She said those things because she is confused and hurting right now. This is a hard time for her because she is pursuing a sorority and she has always looked from the outside in. Now out of all the sororities for her to choose from, she chooses the one that her ex is dating a soror from? You have to admit that that must be hard on her.

(QUINTON doesn't respond but he sits down. BOBBY sits next to him.)

BOBBY - Q, you know me. You know I can be an arrogant son of a bitch. But this time I'm being for real. You're my frat and you're my boy. Yes we have had our differences, but this time I think you should give her another chance. Let her express herself and maybe her true feelings will make everything okay.

(QUINTON doesn't respond.)

BOBBY - Come on frat! I'm taking you to the skeephi party!
QUINTON - I'm not in the mood Bobby.
BOBBY - Fuck a mood, nigga we goin'.
QUINTON - No.

(BOBBY gets up and goes to his shelf. He grabs a paddle.)

BOBBY - Don't let me have to put your ass back on line! Get in the cut nigga!

(QUINTON laughs.)

QUINTON - Man quit playin'!

(BOBBY swings playfully at QUINTON.)

QUINTON - Hey man stop playin'! Aight aight, I'll go!
BOBBY - Good!
QUINTON - But I aint changing clothes! I'm going just like this!
BOBBY - Suit yourself!

TRINA has come completed her menial tasks for TY and has collected the controversial pictures of her and BOBBY from him.


(As TY hands the pictures to TRINA, there is a very loud banging on his door and barking outside.)

RONNIE - Ty! Hey team! What's up dog! Open up!

(TY whispers.)

TY - Oh shit! It's Ronnie!
TRINA - Oh my God! He's gonna ask what I'm doin here! What should I say?

(TY shrugs as RONNIE pounds on the door harder.)

RONNIE - Wake your ass up sleepy head! I got these two freshman honies that I just met that I want you to meet!

(TY looks at TRINA surprised. She looks mad.)

TRINA - He got some honies huh?
TY - Uh...
TRINA - Open the door!
TY thinks - Oh Lord!
TY - But Trina, what about...
TRINA - Open the damn door!

(TY opens the door and RONNIE starts to bark.)

RONNIE - Bruh! What's up! Roo! Roo! Roo!
TY - Uh...what's the deal bruh?

(TY tries to get RONNIE to look at TRINA. He is trying to alert RONNIE with his eyes.)

TY - What's the...deal...bruh?
RONNIE - Why you keep blinking like that man? Something in your eye?

(TY drops his head.)

TY thinks - Got damn!
RONNIE - Dog, I want you to meet...

(RONNIE turns to look at the two girls as they are walking behind him.)

RONNIE - This is Marinda and this is...

(RONNIE looks back at TY and sees TRINA standing there behind him looking
mad.)

RONNIE thinks - Oh shit!
RONNIE - Trina...uh...I didn't know you were here! What are you doing here?

(TRINA eyeballs the two girls then looks back at RONNIE..)

TRINA - No Ronnie, the question is, what are you doing here?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BOBBY and QUINTON arrive at the SkeePhi party. BOBBY treats QUINTON and pays
for him to get in.


QUINTON - Thanks bruh but I told you that you didn't have to do that.
BOBBY - It's cool man. You're my neo and we're gonna have some fun tonight.
QUINTON - No I'm not. I already want to go home. I'm just not in the mood
man.
BOBBY - Come on man, snap out of it.
QUINTON - It isn't that Bobby. I appreciate what you said and did and your words made sense. But you know I ain't the partyin' type to begin with. On top of that, my heart is hurting right now. So I can't just snap out of it. I'm just in a bad mood to begin with. You fell me?

(silence)

QUINTON - You feel me?
BOBBy - Damn, look at her ass bro! Oh my bad, were you saying something?
QUINTON - Nevermind Bobby.
BOBBY - Look man, whatever you were saying is nothing more than you feeling sorry for yourself. So let's go find you a nice honey! There are plenty of fine women in the piece.
MIKE - Man, there are plenty of fine women up in here!

(MIKE taps XAVIER's arm as a pretty girl walks by.)

MIKE - Check her out Z!
XAVIER - Yeah, I see her man.
MIKE - Damn, she is fine! I've gotta go holla at her! Don't tell Donna okay?
XAVIER - Do your thing playboy!

(MIKE leaves XAVIER and follows the girl.)

MIKE - Excuse me honey.

(The girl turns around.)

MIKE - What's your name?
JACKIE - Jackie.
MIKE - Hey Jackie, I'm big Mike.

(MIKE twirls his cane around his right hand and into his left hand.)

MIKE - You wanna dance with me?
JACKIE - Sure.

(MIKE smiles as he leads JACKIE to the dance floor.)

JACKIE - You just crossed huh?
MIKE - What did you say?

(JACKIE speaks louder.)

JACKIE - I asked if you just crossed!
MIKE - Yeah! How can you tell?
JACKIE - Because you have on a Kappa shirt, a Kappa hat, you are twirling your cane and throwing your sign! You've been stepping all night!
MIKE - Oh it's that obvious huh? Ha ha ha ha! Yo baby yo baby yo! Kappaaaaaaaa Alpha Psi! Badder than a motherfucker!

(MIKE spins around and starts stepping.)

MIKE - K...a...p...p...a! A...l...p...h...a! P...s...i! That Kappa Alpha Psi!

(JACKIE laughs. MIKE continues.)

MIKE - Kappa is the frat...and the Nupes are it! If I didn't pledge Kappa, I wouldn't have pledged shit! Nupe Nupe motherfuckers....Nupe Nupe!

(MIKE spins his cane in the air.)

MIKE - A phi a is the number one frat! Cuz I ain't never seen a brother suck a dick like that!

(JACKIE laughs. QUINTON turns around.)

QUINTON - What did that nigga just say?
BOBBY - Who?
QUINTON - That Kappa! He's been loud and talkin' shit all night!
BOBBY - Whoa Quinton, calm down man. You cursed! What's next? You gonna get a drink? Ha ha ha ha!
QUINTON - Now hold up man, I'm serious! This is a skeephi party and that nigga is talkin' shit! I don't appreciate that shit!
MIKE - Que dogs have rabies, Kappa men make babies! Sigmas try hard, but the Nupes run this yard! Those brothers of A Phi A, every one is flaming gay! Yo! Yo!
QUINTON - Naw fuck that!

(QUINTON turns toward MIKE as BOBBY tries to grab his arm.)

BOBBY - Where you goin'? What are you gonna do?

(QUINTON snatches his arm away.)

QUINTON - I'm gonna kick his ass!

MONA is in her room cleaning it up. She has just swept the floor and is now dusting off her table.

(MONA looks at her watch.)

MONA thinks - Oooh, I don't have much time!

(MONA begins to dust faster.)

MONA thinks - This is such a good idea! I'm so glad I thought of it.

(MONA sprays air freshener, then grabs a few magazines to put on top of her table for decoration.)

MONA thinks - Oooh, the Ivy Leaf!

(MONA stops what she is doing and sits down with her Ivy Leaf magazine.)

MONA thinks - I love the Ivy Leaf! It's put together so well.

(She flips through the pages.)

MONA thinks - Look at sorors! So beautiful. It was so good to see so many in Orlando too! Oh...my first boule! Hee hee.

(She puts the magazine down and starts to put away the dishes she washed a few minutes ago.)

MONA thinks - I think I have enough soda. Coke, Sprite, diet...okay cool.

(She grabs a few glasses and places them on the table with coasters. She then grabs her ice bucket and fills it with ice and places that next to the glasses.)

MONA thinks - Wow, only fifteen more minutes. Time flies! Sheesh!

(MONA jogs into the bathroom to fix her hair.)

MONA - I'm so damn pretty I can't sleep at night! Hee hee hee!

(The telephone rings.)

MONA - Ooops, I wonder who that is.

(MONA jogs back out and answers the phone.)

MONA - Skee wee!
SOROR FERGUSON - Ha ha ha ha! Mona, you are a mess!
MONA - Ha ha ha, hi mommy. Where are you?
SOROR FERGUSON - I'm on my way. I should be there in about fifteen or twenty minutes.

(MONA looks at her watch.)

MONA - Okay mom.
SOROR FERGUSON - Is everything okay on your end?
MONA - Oh yes. I'm fine.
SOROR FERGUSON - Good. So you don't need anything?
MONA - Oh no, I'm fine.
SOROR FERGUSON - Alright Mona, I'll see you shortly.
MONA - Okay mom. Bye.

(They hang up.)

MONA thinks - Clockwork!

(MONA grabs the remote for her CD player and turns on light music as there is a knock on her dor. MONA checks her watch.)

MONA thinks - A little early, but that's fine.

(MONA opens the door.)

MONA - Hi.
GINGER - Yes...Mona Ferguson?
MONA - Yeah, that's me.
GINGER - Oh good. I'm here for the Alpha Kappa Alpha interest meeting.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TRINA - No Ronnie, the question is, what are you doing here?

(TRINA has an attitude.)

RONNIE - Like I said, I met these two...young ladies...who wanted to meet my neo. This is Marinda and this is Nichole.
MARINDA - Hi.

(NICHOLE doesn't speak. She cuts her eyes at TRINA.)

RONNIE - They wanted to meet the bruh. So I brought them over.

(RONNIE smiles.)

TRINA - Uh huh.

(TRINA looks at NICHOLE then back at RONNIE.)

TRINA - Ronnie can I speak to you alone for a moment?

(TRINA doesn't even wait for his answer and begins to walk into TY's bathroom.)

RONNIE thinks - Damn!
RONNIE - Um...Ty this is Marinda and Nikki. I'll be right back yall. Make yourselves at home at my bruhs house! Ha ha...uh ha.

(RONNIE tries to cover his embarrasment with a smile as he follows TRINA into the bathroom and closes the door.)

RONNIE - Wassup?
TRINA - You tell me. This looks real convenient! Two groupies...two Ques.
RONNIE - What? I told you they here to meet Ty.
RONNIE thinks - Except Nichole!
TRINA - Uh huh.
RONNIE - I'm serious Trina. Baby look...

(RONNIE steps closer to TRINA.)

RONNIE - ...you know I ain't got eyes for nobody else!
RONNIE thinks - Nobody pours it on better than me!

(TRINA tries to hide her smile and still seem angry as RONNIE grabs her waist.)

RONNIE - Give your big dog a kiss!

(TRINA smiles and gives RONNIE a quick peck on the lips.)

TRINA - I gotta go, call me later.
RONNIE - Okay.

(TRINA turns to walk out.)

RONNIE - Hey, wait a second. You didn't tell me what you're doing here at Ty's place? Why are you here?
TRINA - Because...

(TRINA sucks her teeth.)

TRINA - ...I was trying to surprise you and get you a gift and I was aking Ty
for his advice on what I should get you...honey.

(TRINA smiles.)

TRINA - So now you ruined it. You're gona have to act surprised when I give it to you. Hee hee.
TRINA thinks - Nobody pours it on better than me!
RONNIE - Awwww, that is real sweet. Well I will act surprised then. Thanks!

(RONNIE kisses TRINA and they leave the bathroom. TY is showing the two freshman girls some pictures from when he was on line.)

TRINA - Ty, I'll talk to you later. Thanks for that advice on that...gift.

(TRINA winks.)

TY - Yeah girl, no problem.
TRINA - Nice meeting yall.
MARINDA - You two!

RONNIE - This is before you were out huh? Ha ha ha ha! Let me see how pathetic you looked!
TY - Whatever! Ha ha! Come on over and check out these flicks that Dex just had developed for me.

(RONNIE walks over and sees one photo with a negative on the bed.)

RONNIE - Oh, what's this picture right here on the bed?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GINGER is the first girl to arrive at MONA's room for the AKA interest
meeting.


GINGER - Yes...Mona Ferguson?
MONA - Yeah, that's me.
GINGER - Oh good. I'm here for the Alpha Kappa Alpha interest meeting.

(MONA smiles.)

MONA - Great! You're the first to arrive! Come on in!

(MONA closes the door as GINGER comes in.)

GINGER - Am I too early?
MONA - Oh no. It's okay. Can I get you something to drink?
GINGER - Uh yeah. Soda I guess.
MONA - One soda coming up. I got Coke, Sprite, diet Coke, ginger ale...
GINGER - Diet coke is fine.
MONA - Make yourself at home Ginger. I'll get your drink.
GINGER - Thank you.

(GINGER sits down and MONA brings her a glass of soda.)

MONA - Do you have the information that you were supposed to bring?
GINGER - Uh yes, right here.

(GINGER hands MONA a folder.)

MONA - Good, let me take a look. Looks like everything is in order. Oh, I see you are from LA huh?
GINGER - Yeah. Go Lakers!
MONA - Indeed! Hee hee.

(There is a knock on the door.)

MONA - Excuse me.

(MONA gets up and walks to the door and opens it.)

MONA - Hello, come in ladies.

(Three more girls come in.)

MONA - Hi I'm Mona.
LINDA - Hi, I'm Linda.
CHARMAINE - Hello, I'm Charmaine.
AMY - Hi, I'm Amy.
MONA - You ladies have a seat. Can I get your all something to drink?

(The girls tell MONA what they want to drink and she brings it for all of them.)

MONA - So, where is everyone from?
CHARMAINE - Atlanta.
AMY - Miami.
LINDA - Houston.
MONA - Wow, all over the US!

(There is a knock on the door.)

MONA - Excuse me ladies.

(MONA opens the door.)

MONA - Hi mommy! Come on in.

(SOROR FERGUSON comes inside.)

SOROR FERGUSON - Sorry I am a few minutes late Mona. But I couldn't find a place to park outside.
MONA - That's okay mommy. They just arrived themselves.
SOROR FERGUSON - Oh okay good. Did any sorors get here yet?
MONA - Uh...no mom. Most of them had something to do tonight.
SOROR FERGUSON - Something to do?
MONA - Yeah. Something to do.
SOROR FERGUSON - How can that be? What is more important than a sorority interest meeting?

(MONA shrugs as she answers.)

MONA - I think there's some kind of skeephi party tonight. A couple of sorors were talking about going over to that. So I guess they felt that that was more important!
