Episode 8

The ladies of Sigma Gamma Rho of Amgis College have just walked into the SkeePhi.com party and are looking for their soror PAULA.

ROSALIND - Just like that girl to get lost up in the party! Ha ha ha ha.
JENNIFER - I'm sayin' though. We ain't got all night. We got things to do.
ROSALIND - I know I know.
ANGELIQUE - What time is it? I don't have my watch on?
JENNIFER - Put it this way, it's already late and we gotta go.
ROSALIND - Wait, there's that other Alpha, what's his name?

(Everyone looks at where ROSALIND is pointing.)

ANGELIQUE - Oh, that's Larry. He should know.

(They walk over and approach LARRY.)

ANGELIQUE - Hey Larry!
LARRY - Oh hey!
LARRY thinks - What is her name again?
ANGELIQUE - You remember me right? I'm Angelique, the Sigma Gamma Rho from Amgis.
LARRY - Of course I remember you girl! Ha ha ha ha! How you doin'?
ANGELIQUE - I'm fine man, how are you?
LARRY - Fool as a cool!
ANGELIQUE - Huh?
LARRY - Oh, I meant cool as a fool! I get that mixed up sometimes! Ha!
ANGELIQUE - Oh, ha ha ha! These are my sorors, Jennifer, and Ros.
LARRY - Hi ladies.
JENNIFER - Hi.
ROSALIND - Hi, nice to meet you.
ANGELIQUE - Larry, have you seen Bobby? We are looking for our girl Paula.
LARRY - Oh yeah, I've seen Bobby. He's about this tall…

(LARRY motions with his hand to show BOBBY's height.)

LARRY -…he's a Black man, he's…
ANGELIQUE - Stop playin'! Ha ha ha ha, I mean have you seen him anywhere in here in the last few minutes?
LARRY - Ha ha ha ha, yeah, he was right there a few minutes ago talking to Quinton…oh there he is. Right over there.
ANGELIQUE - Thanks Larry. Let me go catch up with him.

(The ladies approach BOBBY.)

ANGELIQUE - Hey Bobby!
BOBBY thinks - Damn, Angelique is kinda fine!
BOBBY - Hey what's up girl?

(BOBBY quickly looks away as he speaks to ANGELIQUE.)

ANGELIQUE - Nothin' much, have you seen Paula? We are late going somewhere
and we need to find her.

(BOBBY is looking away and didn't hear what ANGELIQUE asked him.)

BOBBY - Huh? What did you say?
ANGELIQUE - I'm looking for Paula. You remember Paula your girlfriend? Hello! Have you seen her?
BOBBY - Huh? Oh yeah…I'm sorry. It's just that my neo is about to start a fight up in here and I am trying to keep my eye on him. Paula is in the bathroom.
ANGELIQUE - A fight?

(ANGELIQUE looks at her sorors.)

ROSALIND - I'm way ahead of you! Let's get Paula and get the hell up out of here and go do what we gotta do!

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

QUINTON has just walked away from BOBBY to confront MIKE about the chants that he says disrespecting Alpha Phi Alpha.

MIKE - I'm pretty on my left and I'm pretty on my right! I'm so damn pretty I can't sleep at night! Them Diamond K pretty boys! Yo! Yo!

(JACKIE laughs again.)

JACKIE - You are so funny! You can tell that you just crossed! Ha ha ha ha!
MIKE - It's all about havin' fun baby! Pledgin' hard and having fun!
JACKIE - Well it looks like your fun may be stopping real soon!
MIKE - Huh? What do you mean?
JACKIE - There is a dude coming this way and he is looking right at you!
MIKE - Where?

(MIKE turns around and sees QUINTON coming toward him.)

MIKE - Oh shit!

(MIKE grips the handle on his cane.)

QUINTON - Hey man! You got a problem?
MIKE - What?
QUINTON - You heard me! Do you have a problem!
MIKE - Yo dude, what are you talking about?

(MIKE and QUINTON are very close to one another.)

QUINTON - I hear you up in this skeephi party talking a lot of shit!
MIKE - Man whatever! You better back up off of me!
QUINTON - Or what!

(QUINTON gets in MIKE's face.)

MIKE - I said back up off me dude!
QUINTON - You aint gonna come up in our party talking that shit! You can take that Nupe shit somewhere else!
MIKE - Nupe shit?

(XAVIER is talking to APRIL.)

APRIL - You look nice as usual Z.
XAVIER thinks - April is funny!
XAVIER - Thanks girl, you look good too!
APRIL - Come on, let's dance.
XAVIER - Aight.

(As they approach the dance floor, they see MIKE and QUINTON arguing.)

XAVIER - Oh shoot, what's going on over there?
APRIL - Where?

(QUINTON pushes MIKE in his chest and MIKE immediately pushes him back. QUINTON gets ready to retaliate with a punch when REGGIE grabs him and spins him away from MIKE.)

QUINTON - Get off me!
MIKE - Yo, what you want punk!

(XAVIER runs through the crowd over to MIKE. People have backed up out of QUINTON and MIKE's way.)

MIKE - Don't you ever step to me punk!

(QUINTON is trying to free himself from REGGIE's grasp but REGGIE is moving him off the dance floor.)

XAVIER - Mike! Mike! What's goin' on?
MIKE - Man, this bitch ass Alpha gonna come up in my face man! I don't play that shit bruh!
XAVIER - What?
MIKE - I was minding my own business and here comes this dude out of nowhere getting all up in my face! Jealous ass punk!
JACKIE - Minding your own business! Ha ha ha ha! Yeah right!
XAVIER - Mike, what happened?
MIKE - Okay, maybe I was giving up a few chants. But hey? It's a party! Since when can't you do party chants at a party?
XAVIER - Nigga, how would you feel if we had a party and the Alphas came in just stepping and throwing up their sign and chantin'?
MIKE - I'd kick their ass!
XAVIER - Hello! This is what you were just doing to them!
MIKE - Whatever! Who's side are you on Nupe?
XAVIER - Wrong is wrong, no matter the side! You can't come up in their house disrespectin'! We got real good greek relations on Ahpla's campus. Don't be the one to screw that up neo!
MIKE - Man whatever! I ain't no punk and I ain't makin' no apologies for me being a Nupe!
XAVIER - Then you're gonna have a lot of fights in your journey as a Kappa man!

(MIKE looks at XAVIER sarcastically.)

MIKE - But I know you got my back right Z?

(XAVIER doesn't answer.)

MIKE - You got my back right Nupe?
REGGIE - Calm down man! I got your back! Calm down Q!
QUINTON - I'm gonna kick his ass man! Let me go!

(REGGIE has wrestled QUINTON into the bathroom.)

REGGIE - What the hell is the matter with you Quinton?
QUINTON - That Kappa dude was disrespectin' frat! I was gonna teach him a lesson until you grabbed me! What you do that for?
REGGIE - Because you should know better than to start a fight up in a skeephi party! What if someone would've gotten hurt!

(QUINTON turns around frustrated and punches the wall. He then sits on the edge of the sink and holds his fist that he just hit the wall with.)

REGGIE - Q, this isn't like you man! I can see Jason doin' this, but not you. What's wrong man?

(silence)

QUINTON - It's Alexis. She...bruh she left me.

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

ROSALIND - I cannot believe a fight almost broke out! Are you serious?
JENNIFER - Heck yeah! Once we saw your wanderin' butt, we had to be out of that camp! I don't even know how far it got. But once I heard it was between Alphas and Kappas, I had to be out!
ROSALIND - It was a cool party though.
ANGELIQUE - Every party is a cool party to you!
ROSALIND - Girl shut up! Ha ha ha ha!

(They drive up to the dorm and park.)

PAULA - Are yall as excited as I am?
JENNIFER - I am so excited! I can't wait!
ROSALIND - Yeah, me too.
PAULA - I just wanna seethe look on her face.
CANDACE - Well remember, she is fragile. I told yall about my last conversation with her.
ROSALIND - Yeah, let's keep that in mind. She is having boyfriend issues, so let's not push her over the edge.

(They all get out of the car and enter the dorm.)

CANDACE - I'm so happy, I can't stop smiling! Hee hee!
ROSALIND - Oh yeah because you haven't seen a line in a while huh?
CANDACE - Not since back in the day when I was at Southern. So I'm ready to have a little sister.
ROSALIND - Cool!
CANDACE - And Alexis is like a little sister to me anyway.
ROSALIND - I know. That's great, you can lead her by the hand and help her
along the way.
CANDACE - Exactly.

(They get off the elevator and walk up to ALEXIS's door. ROSALIND knocks.)

ALEXIS - Just a minute!
CANDACE thinks - I hope you pulled yourself together girl!

(ALEXIS opens the door. Her eyes aren't teary, but they are puffy from when she was crying earlier.)

ALEXIS - Hello...please come in.

(Everyone enters.)

ALEXIS - Can I get anything for anyone?
ROSALIND - No thanks Alexis, we're fine. Why don't you have a seat so we can all talk.
ALEXIS - Okay.

(ALEXIS sits down and glances at PAULA who smiles back at her.)

ALEXIS thinks - Oh God!
ROSALIND - Alexis, we wanted to sit down and have a formal meeting and...discuss a few things with you.

(PAULA giggles and ROSALIND shoots her a glance. PAULA then straightens up.)

ALEXIS - Okay.
ROSALIND - So what we normally do whenever we meet, even if it is informal, is that we call the meeting to order and follow a certain meeting protocal.
ALEXIS - Okay.
ROSALIND - We wanted you to actually see this so you can get the hang of how we do things and try and get a peek on our world of Sigma, from our view. Understand?
ALEXIS - Yes. Completely.
ROSALIND - Good. Now then...

(ROSALIND opens her bag and everyone follows, opening bags.)

ALEXIS thinks - Oh...I guess I'll need a pen and some paper.

(ALEXIS gets up to get a pen and a piece of paper.)

ROSALIND - Aah aah aah Alexis...can't get up in the middle of a formal meeting like that. There is a certain way to get up and leave the room once the meeting starts. We haven't shown you that yet.
ALEXIS - Oh, hee hee. I'm so sorry.
ROSALIND - It's okay. Just follow along.

(Everyone pulls a different item out of their personal bags.)

ROSALIND - Okay. I would like to call this meeting to order. The first item of business is the presentation. Southern Gal?
CANDACE - Thank you Dean.
ALEXIS thinks - Dean? Rosalind isn't Candace's dean.
CANDACE - First I would like to present the blue brick.

(CANDACE places a blue and gold brick on the floor in front of where ALEXIS is sitting.)

CANDACE - Hopefully its weight will help you to stay grounded.
ROSALIND - Thank you Southern Gal.
CANDACE - Your welcome Dean.
ALEXIS thinks - Southern Gal?
ROSALIND - The Book of Rhomans.
ANGELIQUE - Thank you Dean.

(ANGELIQUE stands up, walks over and places a bible on the floor next to the brick.)

ANGELIQUE - This will help to keep you on the straight and narrow path. It has secret treasures, inspirational messages, soul saving scriptures...and something you will be needing in your...immediate future.

(ANGELIQUE smiles and PAULA giggles again.)

ROSALIND - Thank you The Book of Rhomans.
ANGELIQUE - You're welcome Dean.
ALEXIS thinks - Oh my God! Is this...

(ROSALIND turns toward JENNIFER.)

ROSALIND - J. Rho.
JENNIFER - Thank you Dean.

(JENNIFER stands up and reaches into a bag. She pulls out a pair of shoes and has tears in her eyes as she sits them next to the brick and the bible. She then pauses and collect herself before she speaks.)

JENNIFER - These shoes were worn by my mother. My mother became a member of Sigma Gamma Rho many years ago. And may God rest her soul.

(Tears fall down JENNIFER's cheeks. CANDACE's eyes get watery as well.)

JENNIFER - These shoes were passed to me. I became a member...I became a member of Sigma...Gamma Rho.

(She pauses but doesn't wipe her face which has tears falling down like water.)

JENNIFER - You will wear these shoes...as you become a sister. A sister of Sigma Gamma Rho.

(JENNIFER states her sorority name with confidence, takes her seat and is hugged by CANDACE who is also now crying.)

JENNIFER whispers - I miss you Soror mommy!

(ROSALIND clears her throat. Everyone has become teary eyed and they take a moment to regain their composure. ALEXIS is tryiing to maintain.)

ROSALIND - Thank you J. Rho.
JENNIFER whispers - You're welcome Dean.
ROSALIND - Gammarama.
PAULA - Thank you Dean.

(PAULA gets up and walks toward where ALEXIS is seated. She bends over to place down two candles, one blue and one gold.)

PAULA - These will help to light your path as you travel...

(As PAULA is speaking, ALEXIS notices a huge hickey on PAULA's neck.)

ALEXIS thinks - Oh...oh...oh my God! That is a hickey on Paula's neck!

GREGG has climbed into bed with SHAREESA. He realizes that he has some sort of sexually transmitted disease but he doesn't know the extent. SHAREESA unknowingly wants to have sex with him.

(SHAREESA turns over and places her arm across GREGG's chest. He turns to look at her as she opens her eyes.)

SHAREESA - Hi Gregg.
GREGG - Hey Reece. You awake?
SHAREESA - Not really but...

(SHAREESA smiles.)

SHAREESA - ...I'm in the mood to fool around!
GREGG - What?
SHAREESA - I wanna fool around! Come on baby.
GREGG thinks - Oh no!
GREGG - Uh...Reece baby, I'm so tired. Can we do something another night?

(SHAREESA kisses GREGG's chest lightly.)

SHAREESA - Come on baby. Don't tease me.
GREGG thinks - Oh God why tonight! I can't!
GREGG - Baby...

(GREGG moves away from SHAREESA in the bed.)

GREGG - ...I'm not tryin' to tease you, I'm just real sleepy. I know you understand, right honey?

(SHAREESA gets up on her knees and faces GREGG.)

SHAREESA - Yeah I understand.
GREGG - Good.
SHAREESA - I understand this...

(SHAREESA pulls her shirt over her head and takes it off.)

SHAREESA - I know that I gotta talk your language for you to understand me and what I need. Does this help?

(SHAREESA is kneeling above GREGG with no shirt nor bra.)

GREGG thinks - Oh God!

(GREGG sits up but turns away from SHAREESA.)

GREGG - Baby, you look so good...and I swear I'm not trying to tease you. But as tired as I am right now, I doubt I could get my body to even work correctly.
SHAREESA - Don't worry, I'll do all the work!

(SHAREESA laughs, GREGG giggles and tries to hide his face from her.)

SHAREESA - Come here baby.

(SHAREESA lays back down behind GREGG who is sitting on the edge of the bed.)

SHAREESA - Gregg, I need you baby. I know you're tired sweetie, but do this for me. I've been looking forward to you all day.

(GREGG is silent.)

SHAREESA - And besides, when have you ever turned some booty down? Hee hee.

(GREGG still has his back turned and is still silent.)

SHAREESA - Gregg?

(She leans over to GREGG and kisses his back and starts to caress his arms.)

SHAREESA - Ooooh baby, don't keep me waitin'. You're such a tease.

(As SHAREESA leans into kiss GREGG again on his back, he stands up and turns toward her.)

SHARESSA - Gregg...what's the matter?

(GREGG stands there motionless, but manages to look away.)

SHAREESA - Baby, is something wrong?

(GREGG turns his face toward SHAREESA as he tries to think of what to say.)

SHAREESA - Gregg honey...what's the matter? Why are you crying?

(silence)

(SHAREESA sits up.)

GREGG - Reece...I...I can't...

(He stops.)

SHAREESA - Baby just say it. It's okay. What's wrong honey?
GREGG thinks - Oh God!

(GREGG wipes his face, clears his throat, and tries to regain his composure.)

GREGG - Reece, I got something to tell you.
SHAREESA - Oh God Gregg...what?

(GREGG takes a deep breath and closes his eyes.)

GREGG - I think...I think I have a sexually transmitted disease.

PJ - Shit! That is my joint right there! Play that joint again!

GREGG has just admitted to SHAREESA that he believes he has contracted a sexually transmitted disease.

(GREGG takes a deep breath and closes his eyes.)

GREGG - I think...I think I have a sexually transmitted disease.

(SHAREESA just stares at GREGG and doesn't say anything.)

GREGG thinks - I gotta come clean! For once in my life I gotta be a man and come clean! I hate to lose Shareesa because I love her with all my heart! But I have to grow up...

(GREGG is now looking at SHAREESA who is staring at him speechless and in shock.)

GREGG thinks ...and I have to grow up...now! I have to tell her about me and Caryn! Damn Reece is gonna leave me!
GREGG - Shareesa, did you hear what I said?

(SHAREESA looks as if she is going to cry.)

GREGG thinks - Oh God! Why am I such a low down snake in the grass! Why did I do this to this beautiful girl that you gave me! Why did I mess with that ho Caryn!
GREGG - Shareesa...did you hear me? Say something.

(SHAREESA finds it difficult to collect her thoughts but she manages a few things.)

SHAREESA - You said that you think you have an STD?

(GREGG looks down.)

SHAREESA - Are you sure?
GREGG - Well...no...
SHAREESA - What makes you think you have a disease Gregg?
GREGG - Well...um...I went to the bathroom...and um...

(GREGG can no longer hold it in as tears begin to well up in his eyes. He notices SHAREESA has dropped her head as well and he can see tears falling from her eyes onto the bed.)

GREGG - ...I went to the bathroom and it...it hurt when I took a piss. It felt like...like burning. So this just happened. I was gonna try and go to the clinic tomorrow. That way, I can find out what's going on and let you know wha...
SHAREESA - You won't have to do that Gregg.

(SHAREESA still has her head down.)

GREGG - Baby, of course I have to go. That's the only way that I can find out if this is...
SHAREESA - You don't have to go Gregg. I already went.
GREGG - Huh? You already went? But how...when...I mean how did you...

(silence)

(SHAREESA looks up at GREGG with tears streaming down her face.)

SHAREESA - Gregg...I know exactly what you have. I was hoping you wouldn't have it. What you have...

(She pauses.)

SHAREESA - what you have...I gave to you.
