EXT./INT. SYLVIA'S RESTAURANT - DAY
(TEEN 1, TEEN 2, CLARISSA, EMILY, WOODS 1, TEEN 3)
WE'RE STILL OUTSIDE, US TEENS, SCRUTINIZING THIS WEIRD, SHINY, WALKING, TALKING CAMERA [2.].
ONE BENDS DOWN AND RAPS, AS ANOTHER BACKS HIM WITH A BEAT.
TEEN 2
Introduction/
Outside a luncheon/
Like I am actually invited to a function/
Fuck that - we got rap/
We a stadium act/
And if you got a fuckin' problem you can stay where you at/
We layin' the facts/
Everyone be sayin' we wack/
But when I'm sayin' anything I'm getting paid with chick's racks/
And a little bit of booty's how my eyes have a snack
TEEN 1
This ain't North New York/
It's Harlem, bitch!/
And if you from the south side then you ain't part of it/
We start the shit spitting when we rap like this/
We drip like slick bitches when we spit like this/
Girls comin' round/
Coppers wanna gun me down? We split/
They say we too fuckin' loud but we be proud of it/
This sound's the shit, now the fuckin' ground be mist/
We so crisp . . .
EMILY OPENS THE DOOR.
EMILY
Guys, could you come in here a minute?
THE THREE TEENS LOOK AT EACH OTHER, AND THEN AGAIN AT THE METAL BOX.
TEEN 1
Have you seen this thing? This be a walking, talking camera! I ain't never seen anything like this.
EMILY
Bring it in with you.
THE SECOND BOY PICKS UP THE CAMERA.
IT'S KIND OF A BIG DEAL, AS WE'RE INVITED INTO SYLVIA'S - ACTUALLY INVITED. WE MOVE AS THE CAMERA; WE "ARE" THE CAMERA [2.], AND THE ONE WHO HOLDS IT [1.]. SMALL AS WE ARE, EVERYTHING APPEARS LARGE AND DISTANT [1.]: THE COUNTER IN SYLVIA'S KITCHEN, THE WHITE FOLK, THE ENTIRE CIRCUIT BOARD OF NEW YORK CITY, THE PROSPECT OF FAME, FORTUNE, AND EVEN ATTENDING UNIVERSITY. BUT WE'RE AHEAD OF OURSELVES; THE TEENS DON'T KNOW THIS YET.
THE GUYS SHRUG. THE FIRST TEEN WALKS INSIDE. THE OTHERS, STILL OUTSIDE, SURVEY THE SCENE: IT'S A RESTAURANT THEY'LL GO TO EVERY NOW AND THEN, WHEN THEY CAN AFFORD A TREAT, BUT IT'S NOT OFTEN THEY SET FOOT IN HERE. STRANGELY, IT'S MAINLY RICH, WHITE TOURISTS WHO WIND UP HERE, NOT TOO MANY OF THE LOCALS.
THE FIRST TEEN APPROACHES THE COUNTER.
CLARISSA
Is this the boy?
THE LADY BEHIND THE COUNTER TAKES THE BOYS' HANDS IN HERS.
TEEN 1
What are you doing lady? You're acting strange today. You crying?
WE GET A BETTER VIEW OF THE SCENE AS THE CAMERA - AND THUS THE OTHER TEENS - APPROACHES THE COUNTER.
WOODS 1
Jerome, these young girls have bought you a present; and us. Got anything planned this year?
TEEN 1
Lady, you know what we do, where we be hanging. We be on these streets.
WOODS 1
But how about university? Tell me again where the best recording studios are?
TEEN 1
There's Middle Tennessee, University of Arizona, even New York University . . . What? Can I visit one?
THE BOY LOOKS AT CLARISSA AND THEN EMILY.
TEEN 1
Are you two singers?
CLARISSA
Even better.
WOODS 1
You know the scholarship you applied for?
TEEN 1
Oh, that was silly. I knew I didn't have a chance.
WOODS 1
You do. Jerome, you pick a university, we fund it. That's four years of undergrad.
TEEN 1
Shit! You for real?
HE STUDIES CLARISSA'S FACE. SHE NODS.
TEEN 1
Damn! Most beautiful girl I seen in ages, drops into this town and pays for my degree. You like an angel or something?
CLARISSA SMILES. SHE HUGS JEROME, AND THEN GAZES INTO HIS EYES.
CLARISSA
You won't forget me?
TEEN 1
One way to be sure.
CLARISSA WINKS, LICKS HER LIPS, THEN LOCKS THEM WITH JEROME'S.
