Kids Page #6

The same fat black nurse walks out with a clipboard. She

begins to cough tremendously.

RUBY:

... I don't know, I think he's mad

at me, but who cares...

Ruby and Jennie stop talking and look at the black nurse. She

is coughing uncontrollably. She looks like a large shaking

figure. A skinny nurse walks by, pounds her on the back, and

she stops coughing.

The black nurse has a smile on her face, her eyes watery. She

turns and looks at Ruby.

BLACK NURSE:

Woowee! It must have been something

I ate!

(coughs then smiles)

Ruby, follow me.

Ruby stands up and looks at Jennie. Ruby crosses both her

fingers and raises them in the air.

RUBY:

Wish me luck.

JENNIE:

Good luck.

Ruby follows the black nurse. This should be one long shot,

as Ruby follows the nurse through the hectic testing clinic.

The two of them enter the same room as before.

INT. WAITING ROOM - DAY

The skinny white nurse picks up a folder with Jennie's name

on it. She opens the door to the waiting room and looks at

Jennie sitting down with her eyes closed.

WHITE NURSE:

Jennie.

Jennie stands up and smiles. She walks towards the door.

INT. TESTING CLINIC - DAY

Ruby is sitting down in a chair. The black nurse picks up a

file from the back of the door. She opens it and smiles.

BLACK NURSE:

(cough, pause)

Well, girl. You tested negative for

all sexually transmitted diseases

and infections.

RUBY:

Yes!

BLACK NURSE:

You're clean.

RUBY:

Oh my God. I can't tell you how

nervous I've been. I couldn't sleep

last night.

BLACK NURSE:

Now you gotta be careful.

The black nurse pulls out a bunch of pamphlets.

BLACK NURSE (cont’d)

Here take these pamphlets home and

read them.

INT. TESTING CLINIC - DAY

Jennie is standing up. She is hugging herself. The white

nurse is sitting down at her desk. The nurse looks real

closely at the folder and then shuts it.

WHITE NURSE:

Jennie. You've tested positive for

the HIV infection.

36.

JENNIE:

What?

WHITE NURSE:

The test isn't one hundred percent

accurate. You should...

JENNIE:

I tested positive?

WHITE NURSE:

I'm sorry.

JENNIE:

But I only had sex with Telly.

The nurse is quiet.

JENNIE (cont’d)

I just got tested to keep Ruby

company.

INT. SUBWAY CAR - DAY

Telly and Casper are sitting side by side. Casper is holding

a 40oz. bottle of beer. The train is semi-crowded; all seats

are taken and there are a few people standing up. The train

shakes. They are headed downtown.

Casper and Telly are looking at the couple directly across

from them. They are two unattractive lower-class Spanish

people, they are holding hands and kissing.

TELLY:

I wanna f*** Darcy.

CASPER:

Who?

TELLY:

Darcy. Benny's little sister.

CASPER:

Oh. You like her?

TELLY:

Yeah. I like her. I've wanted to

get with her for a while now.

CASPER:

Darcy?

37.

TELLY:

Yeah. She's so little, so pretty,

and innocent.

CASPER:

Yeah. She's only 13.

TELLY:

It's funny. Last weekend at that

block party. Remember?

CASPER:

Yeah.

TELLY:

She was handing out those

watermelon slices. And I sat down

over on the other side, And I

watched her.

CASPER:

(excited)

Yeah.

TELLY:

I watched her eat the watermelon.

And all this juice started running

down her chin and onto her shirt.

.

CASPER:

(smiling)

Yeah.

TELLY:

And after about two seconds, I got

the biggest hard-on.

Casper starts laughing.

TELLY (cont’d)

I'm not joking. I wanted to take my

dick out and start jacking right

there. At that point and moment,

Darcy was like a vision of

perfection.

CASPER:

I know what you mean.

TELLY:

At that moment, at that block

party, she represented everything

holy about a virgin.

38.

CASPER:

She hangs out at Nasa. She promotes

for them.

TELLY:

I'm gonna f*** her tonight. I swear

to God I'm gonna f*** her.

CASPER:

(laughing)

How are you gonna f*** two virgins

in a day? That shits gotta be

against the law.

TELLY:

I don't care motha fucka. I'll bet

you money she fucks me.

CASPER:

Bet.

The two of them shake hands.

CASPER (cont’d)

You wanna run by the park and see

what everybody's doing? Get zooted?

TELLY:

I guess so. I gotta stop off home

too.

At this point the sound of the subway door is heard. A black

man with no legs pushes himself through with his hands. He

has a large container filled with change. As he enters, his

cup of change is heard smashing back and forth. His face is

even with people's knees. A random few stuff change and

dollar bills into his cup. He sings as he pushes his way

through the cat. He has an afro pick sticking out the back of

his head. He is wearing a shirt that says "KISS ME I'M

POLISH".

LEGLESS MAN:

(singing)

I have no legs. I have no legs. I

have no legs. I have no legs.

As he pushes his way closer, Casper starts checking his all

his pockets. When he gets about three feet away, Casper

stands up and throws some pennies into his cup. He sits back

down next to Telly.

The legless man stops and smiles at Casper.

39.

LEGLESS MAN (cont’d)

Thank you. God bless you.

CASPER:

Yeah. Bless you back.

The legless man makes his way into the next car.

TELLY:

I don't understand why you do that.

CASPER:

Why I do what?

TELLY:

That.

CASPER:

Why I give pennies?

TELLY:

Yeah. Why you give money.

CASPER:

Did you look at that guy? What the

f***. He had no legs.

(motions to his waist)

He had no half his lower body. He's

gotta sh*t out of his ribcage.

TELLY:

That's just it. It's elitist. It's

reverse elitism. Because you give

money to whoever is the most f***ed

up. I notice what you do.

CASPER:

What are you talking about?

TELLY:

Whenever you see someone who's

really messed up, especially

amputees and retards. You give them

money. But if it's just a regular

bum, you pass them by.

CASPER:

So.

TELLY:

So. These people live on the same

streets.

(MORE)

40.

TELLY(cont'd)

It's just that you reserve your

money for those people who are

massively f***ed up. The regular

bums aren't poor enough for you,

you gotta give it to the bottom of

the barrel scum fucks.

CASPER:

So. You never know when you can end

up like that.

TELLY:

Right.

CASPER:

I'll tell you why. Because when I

was little, I had a fat cousin,

cousin Luke. And he used to make

fun of the handicapped. And one day

he had a bad stomachache. So he

drank a bottle of Pepto and his ass

blew off.

TELLY:

Shut up.

CASPER:

I'm telling you the truth. And

after that, I've always givin' my

money to retards. Because that's

the reverse of what he did.

Telly is laughing.

CASPER (cont’d)

So really, it's good luck.

TELLY:

Good luck?

CASPER:

Yeah, good luck. I mean what the

f***. The guy had no legs.

They both laugh.

INT. TELEPHONE BOOTH - DAY

Ruby and Jennie are squeezed into a telephone booth. They are

on a busy street. People are walking by the cars are in a

standstill gridlock. It is very loud outside. Everyone is

beeping their horns and screaming out windows.
