CASPER (cont’d)

Yo, you got any weed around here?

TELLY:

Naw. But we should run by the park

and get a dime. Maybe Darcy will be

at the park.

Casper is sitting on the water bed, he is pumping one of

Telly's small ten pound dumbbells.

CASPER:

Yo. I'm gonna get buff dude.

TELLY:

You are?

47.

CASPER:

Yeah. The other day, some sort of

Chinese b*tch told me I'd look good

with muscles.

Casper is pumping and making faces.

CASPER (cont’d)

I'm gonna get mad diesel. I'm gonna

f*** any nigga that tries to step

to me.

Telly is wiping his body off with a towel from the floor. He

sniffs his arms and then picks up a stick of deodorant and

applies it.

TELLY:

You want some?

Casper is still pumping.

CASPER:

Nah.

TELLY:

Why not? You stink.

CASPER:

That sh*t gives me a rash all under

my arms and around my stomach. I

like my odor. It's f***in natural.

The CAMERA stays on Casper while he continues to pump his

dumbbell and look at his arm.

INT. TELLY'S KITCHEN - DAY

Mom is watching a soap opera on television. The baby is in a

small rocker on the counter. She is rocking it back and forth

with one hand while smoking a cigarette.

TELLY:

Mom.

MOM:

Shh.

TELLY:

(whispering)

I'm gonna go out for a little

while.

48.

MOM:

When are you gonna be back?

TELLY:

Not too late.

MOM:

Four-thirty in the morning?

TELLY:

Not too late.

Casper and Telly walk to the door.

TELLY (cont’d)

Hey Mom. Are you sure I can't get

any money? Just a few bucks.

.

MOM:

If I had it, maybe. But right now I

don't have a penny to my name.

TELLY:

All right.

Casper waves good-bye.

MOM:

Bye.

Casper and Telly leave. Telly slams the door behind him. The

baby wakes up and starts to cry.

MOM (cont’d)

Sh*t.

EXT. PAUL'S APARTMENT BUILDING - DAY

Jennie walks up the stairs to Paul's apartment. She takes her

finger down the list of names.

She rings his bell. Paul sounds really messed up.

PAUL:

(from the speaker,

laughter and noise)

Hello.

JENNIE:

Hello Paul. Is Telly inside?

49.

PAUL:

(laughing)

Is Telly there?

PAUL (cont’d)

This is Paul. Who is this?

JENNIE:

It's Jennie. Just tell me if Telly

is there.

PAUL:

(drunkenly, laughter)

Oh hi Jennie. Do you want to come

make out with me?

JENNIE:

I'm f***ing serious. Where's Telly?

PAUL:

Telly's not here right now. I

believe he went downtown. Casper

too.

Jennie walks down the stairs. A little white girl is sitting

on the bottom stair, playing with a black doll. The doll has

no hair and it's dress is ripped. She looks up at Jennie.

LITTLE GIRL:

My dolly is black... Lucy.

The girl sticks her doll out so Jennie can hold it.

EXT. WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK - DAY

Casper and Telly are standing by the chess tables. The park

is very busy. Every chess table is being used. People are

riding bikes and roller-blading. Strong men are doing pull-

ups on the monkey bars while guys walk by with ghetto

blasters. A state of public frenzy.

A Rastafarian drug dealer with a big dread cap is standing a

little bit away from Telly and Casper. He is approaching

everyone as they walk by him.

DRUG DEALER:

(fast and slurred)

... Sess... Smoke, hash, shrooms,

valium, coke... Sessamila.

CASPER:

Yo, was up Ras!

50.

RAS:

Ah Caspa! Was up little blood clot?

Casper and Telly walk up and shake his hand.

CASPER:

Nuffin. You gots?

RAS:

Shoot yeah boy. F***in best herb.

Uptown sh*t boy.

TELLY:

None of that twigs and pebbles

sh*t.

Another guy trying to sell drugs walks up, but Ras just

pushes him away.

Telly pulls the money out of his back pocket.

.

Ras pulls out a dime bag and pushes it open. He looks around

and then puts it in Casper's face.

RAS:

F***ing good skunk.

CASPER:

Smells delicious.

Casper starts to laugh.

Telly goes to hand the drug dealer the money. Ras looks

around to make sure it's safe.

RAS:

Throw it down.

He points to the floor; then throws the weed on the ground.

Telly drops two five dollar bills.

CASPER:

Thanks Ras.

RAS:

Caspa!!!

Ras laughs. The two of them slap hands. Ras slaps Telly's

hand and walks away.

51.

EXT. UNDER THE ARCH - WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK - DAY

The park is extremely crowded. The kids hang out in front of

the arch by the fountain and around the sides. There are

about ten kids skateboarding. The fountain is on and the mist

is spraying the kids. Girls in hip-hop fashion are lined up

all around. A few kids are drawing graffiti in little black

books. There are maybe twenty kids hanging out around the

fountain, in front of the arch.

Casper and Telly walk up to the center of the action.

They greet their friends sitting on the edge of the fountain.

Skateboarders ride up and slap their hands. As they greet

their friends, they kiss the girls on the cheek and a few of

them on the lips, they slap hands with the guys and embrace

some with a hug.

Telly and Casper go down the line, greeting everyone. This

process takes a while, as they interact with everyone down

the line.

HAROLD is a skinny black skateboarder with a funny face. He

rides up to Casper and hugs him.

HAROLD:

Casper! Was up kid?

CASPER:

Nothen B.

HAROLD:

CASPER:

Right here.

HAROLD:

Where you goin tonight?

CASPER:

Maybe Nasa. I don't know.

HAROLD:

CASPER:

Yeah.

HAROLD:

I'm goin. You on the list?

52.

CASPER:

Probably. F*** that, I'll sneak in.

I need some female vagina tonight.

HAROLD:

I had a female vagina last night.

HAMILTON, a short black guy with a Gilligan hat, walks up.

.

HAMILTON:

Yo Cass, you got any boom?

Telly is sitting on the cement benches talking to MISHA, a

pretty young girl with a belly button pierce.

CASPER:

Yep. You got a Phillie?

HAMILTON:

Presto.

Hamilton pulls out a long Phillie cigar. Then he squeezes in

between Casper and another guy.

Casper pulls out his dime bag and sniffs it. The he puts it

in front of Hamilton's nose.

HAMILTON (cont’d)

You got that here in the park?

CASPER:

Yep.

HAMILTON:

Break that sh*t up.

Casper is smushing the pot up. Hamilton is taking the plastic

of the cigar. In this shot they go through the complete

process of rolling a blunt. The next sequence

should be done with fast edits.

HAMILTON (cont’d)

Cut it.

Hamilton cuts the cigar down the center with his long

thumbnail.

HAMILTON (cont’d)

Scrape it.

He then scrapes all the tobacco out of the center and onto

the ground.

53.

HAMILTON (cont’d)

Lick it.

He then licks the outer paper till it gets very damp.

HAMILTON (cont’d)

Dump it.

Casper starts putting the weed inside, Hamilton licks it,

then pulls out a lighter and dries it.

HAMILTON (cont’d)

And smoke it.

Hamilton puts it in his mouth.

HAMILTON (cont’d)

You wanna start off?

Hamilton looks at Casper and puts the blunt in his face.

CASPER:

Naw, you got it Ham.

Hamilton smiles.
