Drumline: A New Beat Page #3

Back to Lee,

wearing a tight shirt.

Well, word around campus

is you do too, so you

don't have anything

to be nervous about.

I'm not.

I dated you for three

years, I know you... enough

to remember your

pre-game tradition.

Two piece with hot

sauce, and a cherry coke.

Woo-hoo.

Sean, I umm- I

know, I should eat.

Right, right,

you should eat.

Well umm, good luck, I

don't think you need it.

Wow.

Huh, so you didn't go to

home grown with everybody?

I wanted to be

ready for tomorrow.

Mm, okay.

Hey, you alright?

I mean, I know I'm sexy

and all.

Boy, please!

Please what?

What?

You think I'm like what?

Scared, nervous,

in awe maybe?

You know what I'm learning

about myself lately?

I'm not afraid

of anything.

Now who's

scared, Mr. Lapierre?

Good night.

Yes sir, today is

the unveiling.

I'm trying to see what

Dr. Taylor and this new

ANT band are

bringing to the table.

I got my cooler-

C'mon, I'm not gonna

miss the bus.

Shoot, I forgot my

hat, go on without me.

Okay.

She been ready, I told

her to come through after

the game.

You already know.

Woo boy, we about to

kick the Glorie's ass.

And the senate is

tight as hell this year.

You can thank

me for that, son.

Yo, what you

do is dirty yo.

Man, I ain't having no

b*tches on the line,

I don't care who a

cousin is, we ain't

that desperate.

I hear you.

Bro.

Look, here comes that

football player that keeps

checking me out.

Y'all tear it up out

there, I'll be watching.

We don't have enough

b*tches on the line.

And I ain't having no

b*tches on the line.

Yo, ruin your period?

Yo Armondi, chill out.

Let me handle this.

Yeah, handle her.

Tyree, I was just trying

to show that a b*tch can

be on the senate, that's

what I am right Armondi?

He got the

line to block me.

Is there something I need

to handle, Mr. Raymond?

No, sir.

Get your line together,

Mr. Raymond... or I'll do

it for you.

Ty, he...

It's going to be okay, girl.

So, you gonna

let them run you?

Look, this is my

line, all right?

I know we're family, so

I'm gonna give it to you

straight, you

just messed up, D.

Why don't you help

unpack the drums, P2.

Hey.

So what happened

on that field?

I just got so mad after

I found out what

Armondi did.

Setting her off

on the field.

So you think I set it off?

Oh yeah, no doubt, on the

field and in the hallway.

Devon Miles.

Oh, I remember that hard

head gave you a run for

your money

your senior year.

Yeah, then he graduated

and turned into P-Diddy.

Mhm.

Music, clothes- Yup

Vanity water, my boy is

everywhere.

Oh god, he was cute.

If he wasn't married,

I'd ask you to hook me up.

Y'all still friends right?

I don't think you need any

help from that department.

You'd be surprised, after

the divorce I just,

I needed a break from men.

I had to get my

head right, you know?

So, I started

dating my career.

Shut up.

I'm just saying, I can't

remember the last time a

man picked me up in his

car and offered me some

Boone's Farm wine and

swept me away to some

real R&B, grown

and sexy music.

Wait, hold up,

Boone's Farm?

Don't act like you

don't drink Boone's Farm.

That's a long time.

Don't- Don't remind me.

Grown and sexy, huh?

But, I still got

the moves though.

Can you move to this?

Ohh, woo!

Yeah, I still got

the moves though.

I do too.

One lows.

Did you just body roll?

Oh you know, that's it.

Hey, mhm.

Mhm.

Awh, you still got it.

Dr. Taylor, you listening

to fifth quarter?

Southern State

is talking smack!

Oh.

Big Southern State

and ANT match up

this weekend,

any concerns about the

Bears' long standing

rivalry?

Oh yeah, I'm terrified.

Look here man, my

brother's a good leader,

and from what I've heard

they had a decent show

this weekend.

But, ANT hasn't

been a force in years.

Mmm.

So, from what I know, the

Panthers are about to

get declawed.

He's just trying to get in

my head before a game in

the classic.

Don't let him, this school

needs this band to be

great, and you

can do that.

Oh, don't worry, I

still got some moves too.

rivalry goes back years,

and we will show that

ANT can reign supreme.

You talk about identity,

this game this weekend,

this is ANT's identity.

So, I want your undivided

attention, when you wake

up, when you're in line at

the cafeteria, when you on

the phone begging for

money from your momma, run

your music, live in it.

Well, I hear

you're doing well.

It's a good thing, since I

put my dishwasher rep

on the line.

Thanks again for this.

You're welcome.

You okay?

Truth?

Mm-hmm.

Not really.

It's just band stuff.

Well, as dean of the

students, you can tell me

anything.

Let's sit.

I just don't know

how to feel about it.

Yo, can I use the iron?

Yeah, but I'm gonna

need you to put all that

chocolate away, if

I can't have none.

You know better, okay?

C'mon.

D girl, don't even worry

about Armondi, I heard he

barely made the

line himself.

He's insecure,

so he lashes out.

And that's because he

thinks he can break you,

'cause he do that

to me all the time.

Skinny, black, gay

preacher's son with the

big ass curly 'fro.

Damn, how many crosses

did you have to bear?

Enough to decide to

put them all down when I

stepped foot on this line.

Look, let him be stupid,

you just keep doing you,

all right?

Oh, I am.

I already handled it.

Hey.

So, uh, some of us are

going out tonight, and we

were, well I wanted to

see if you wanted to hang.

Well, mmm, I don't

have to work tonight.

Yo, we partying or what?

There goes Josh, trying

to get to Tasha again.

That is so not happening.

I hope the universe is

taking notes for my

new man.

I can take my own notes.

Not tonight, JFK.

C'mon.

Hey don't worry, look, I'm

sure the line will come

around and so

will our money.

I'm not worried, I'll

make them recognize.

Is this the

brand new Dani?

I like the sound of that.

Okay, okay, but let me

ask, do you think she's

got enough room for a

guy who's kind of sexy?

And real cocky?

We'll see.

C'mon.

Yo Jay, whats up player?

Rizzy.

I ain't even know

you was comin' man.

You pops is

about to do a set.

Oh yeah?

Yeah, I was just kickin'

it with some friends from

school.

Oh right, you're

Mr. Joe College now.

So, you coming in?

Um no, I'm sure he's got

enough fans for himself.

It'll be fun.

Y'all Jay's dad is

about to perform.

What?

Let's go.

What?

I'm down.

Yeah.

Let's do it.

All right, let's get

ready for some old school,

get in your

blood type music.

From Atlanta's very

own, Mr. Jimmy Lapierre.

Is your dad okay?

He's good, nothing new.

Too bad I'm cool.

Woo.

Ugh, how y'all doing?

Heard my boy was

here, where you at son?

C'mon put the light, put

the light up, I want to

see you.

Ha-ha-ha, that's my

C right there, ha.

Uh ah, give him a minute.

I was worried.

You ain't got to

worry about me.

Seriously?

What?

I'll open a window.

So you're just gonna

put that wall back up?
