Marci X Page #2

Synopsis: While delivering an award to her humanitarian father Ben Feld, the stylish wealthy Jewish Caucasian Marci Feld is surprised by the attack of the conservative senator Mary Ellen Spinkle to her father in the media. The motive is the lyrics of the rap "Shoot Ya' Teacha " sing by Dr. S and released by the hip-hop record label Felony Assault that belongs to Ben. He has a heart attack, and his daughter decides to assume the problem and negotiate a public excuse of Dr. S in the MTV Award.

Well, not Diana.

Time Magazine has declared you

the most charming white woman

in America under 50.

Oh, except we're

talking about rap.

And, you know, the inner cities

and censorship and the cultural

legacy of black people.

Well, I happen

to adore black people.

-Word.

-Word up.

Word perfect.

You can get anybody

to do anything you want.

It's your gift.

Yeah, yeah,

is being isolated.

But I've only got two weeks

until the hearings.

So get out there...

...and show your father

just what you're capable of.

You say, "Watch out, America,

Yeah, I'm going to go see

that Dr. S,

in person, on his own turf.

I'll explain everything

and we can work together.

How y'all feeling?

Sick!

Ain't y'all glad

Yeah!

I want to give

a special shout out

to someone who is near

and dear to my heart.

I think you all know

who I'm talking about.

That's right.

She's a recording artist,

You're late,

but you're right on time.

Come on, sit down

Hey, Medic, show 'em

Hi.

Go. Go talk to him.

For your father.

Mingle.

Spanky, here.

Coming off,

coming through

and going back.

Dr. S, hi.

Marci Feld.

It's a pleasure.

Really.

Who are you?

Um, I'm Ben Feld's daughter.

Anyway, I can see

you're very busy,

so I'm just going

to take a second.

But we really do have to chat

about, you know, your new CD.

Why?

Well, I'm sure you know

all about the hoo-ha.

Please. Ooh!

I'm also sure you're every bit

as upset about it as I am.

You know.

You're upset?

You're hot and bothered?

Um...

Anyway, I have a plan.

-You do, huh?

-Yeah.

You're just going to love it.

I bet I will.

Oh, yeah.

Ew, this is...

all covered with you.

You know, you could sell that.

Oh, yeah?

-On eBay.

-Oh...

30 seconds.

Oh, okay.

Well, here it is.

Um... next week,

you're supposed to appear live

at the MTV Awards.

Perfect-- it's global,

millions of people watching.

Just the perfect place

for you to say to the entire

world, "I'm really sorry.

"l went too far.

Ben Feld is fabulous,

and I apo..."

I'm good. Thank you.

"...and I sincerely apologize."

Um, well, tomorrow morning

at 10:
00--

I thought we could

kick things off, you know,

with a public relations

event, sort of, in a way.

Five seconds.

How do I look?

You look amazing.

I got to run.

Stick around, all right?

Okay. You're too sweet.

I mean that.

It went very well.

He said to wait here,

and I don't know why.

Y'all take five.

What's happening?

Check this out.

I don't know if y'all

been tracking it,

but a lot of people

been coming down on the Doctor

for speaking his mind.

Folks like Senator Spinkle,

and the media.

And Mr. Ben Feld.

Guess who we got

in the audience tonight?

Who?

We got his little

goddamn daughter,

Marci Feld is here.

Kick her ass!

Kill her!

And she wants me...

-No.

-...to apologize...

Hell, no!

...and do some

public relation sh*t.

She wants me to change

who I am.

No!

Say, b*tch!

Oh, my God.

Bring your pasty white ass

out here.

You get out there.

You tell him you are not

a b*tch. Not always.

That's your answer

right there.

I'm a real n*gger.

I don't change for no one.

I ain't changing sh*t.

Can I get an amen?

Amen!

You're out

of your element, baby.

You're out of your league.

And you're out

of your goddamn mind.

This is Harlem.

Get the hell out of my ghetto.

'Cause these people

ain't feeling you.

You know why?

'Cause you're not real.

You're unreal.

You're where real goes to die.

What do you mean I'm not real?

Authentic.

Talking about down.

Real is who you are.

And it's what you ain't.

Kill that b*tch!

Shoot that b*tch!

Whack, whack, whack,

whack, whack, whack, whack,

whack, whack, whack, whack...

Whack, whack...

Lauren.

I'm sorry.

...whack, whack...

Okay, okay!

If I can get real,

whatever the hell that means,

will you show up

tomorrow morning?

And how you going to get real?

What you going to do?

You going to rap for us?

No, I can't rap.

You can't rap?

Then I can't go. Bye.

Bye-bye.

All right, all right.

If I do rap,

do I have your word?

Word to your mother.

But you're going

to need a little beat.

Hold on.

What do you mean, a beat?

You can't rhyme if you

don't have no rhythm.

Hi, hi, hey, hey

Everybody have a nice day...

All right!

Okay.

It's okay.

Maybe she needs some bass.

Give her some bass.

Yeah, I need bass.

Give her some S! Yes!

Okay...

Hi, hi, I'm so real

Let me tell you how I feel...

God, this is so embarrassing.

She's so white.

I can't watch.

We know how you feel.

And I know what

you want to feel.

Oh!

But he's mine, b*tch.

Okay, just give me another beat.

We're running out of beats.

Give her another one.

Go on.

Okay.

Now listen, I know

I suck at this, okay?

But it's my very, very

first time.

And I'm just not very musical.

Although I did love Lion King.

All right, so, but rapping.

Let me just think

for a minute, okay?

So, okay, so rapping,

it's about being...

about being honest...

"real," right?

Okay.

So, okay, okay, okay.

I would really like to talk

to all the women

in the audience...

in the house.

As you say.

Give me what you gave him.

Okay.
