Honey Page #3

Synopsis: Honey Daniels is a 22-year-old, sexy, tough-minded, part-black, part-Latina hip-hop dancer in New York's East Harlem who dreams of making it big as a music video choreographer. She teaches hip-hop dancing at a local youth center and encourages the local kids to attend to keep them off the streets and out of trouble. When luck shines on Honey in the form of a famous music video director, named Michael, who casts her in one music video, she's encouraged to make the transition from dancer to choreographer. But Honey's sudden success comes with a price when Michael refuses to take "no" for an answer to his sexual advances and then tries to sabotage her career by blackballing her out of the business.

My mama says l have to

do something with my hair.

Your mama's right about that.

You wanna do this on your own,

or should l come with you?

You can come with me.

Cool. So, what are you thinking?

Some braids?

Snoop Doggy Dogg silky-fine

press and curl?

Or maybe do like Mike

and shave it all off?

Hmm, how 'bout braids?

Braids?

All right, cool. Come on.

Come on. They won't bite.

Whoa. Look who's here.

l thought l was gonna have to

watch cable to see you again.

Raymond needs a little trim

and some braids.

Look, little guy.

You see that guy right there?

Yeah.

l know he has a stupid-looking face,

but what's his hair look like?

All right.

Just all right or a little more

than all right?

A little more.

That's right. And you know why?

'Cause he gets his hair cut by me.

l spent a whole 20 minutes on him.

l'm gonna send you over there

to Stacey to get braided up.

And when you're done,

l'm gonna spend 22 minutes on you.

Now how does that sound?

That's cool.

All right, now you just chill, shorty.

Don't worry about nothin'.

Besides, l never mess up

a kid's head,

especially when his mom's

in the shop.

He's eight. That would have made me 1 4.

- l'm not that kind of girl.

- My bad.

We just peoples.

Yeah, we peoples.

You peoples?

Player, how'd you swing that?

l've been trying to be her peoples

for weeks. Ain't had no luck.

You don't think l got some flow?

- Maybe not as much as me.

Whoa. See, now you better

be careful, little man.

You don't watch yourself,

l'm gonna have you runnin' out of here

lookin' like a poodle.

All right, youngblood,

holler at your boy.

lt's tight.

Let me ask you something else.

What if l was

to take Honey out to dinner?

You think that'd be tight too?

That'd be all right.

How's Friday?

Friday night?

These shoots go late. l never know

when l'm gonna get off.

Saturday l'm workin' too.

You're not working

all day Saturday.

Listen, l'll tell you what.

You find out when you're not working,

l may never have the time.

Baby, that'd be a tragedy.

All right, little cat.

Come on.

Okay?

Okay.

Come on.

Hey, Benny. We've been
