Othello Page #5

But first, you're about

to see something

that might make the NBA's

finest a little bit nervous.

And that's why

all the scouts are here.

It's the Southeast regional

high school slam dunk contest.

And young legs

mean lots of air.

- What's up, man?

- What's up with you?

You got that for me?

- This ain't your style, player.

- It ain't gonna be.

I just ain't slept

in a couple of days.

Why the f*** are you worried?

Give me the sh*t and get your ass on.

Money's for customers.

This is a one-time

thing, right?

You're going to have

to get in line, I'm afraid.

Every conference in the country's

been after this kid,

including the ACC,

the Big Twelve, Pac Ten, Big Ten.

I hope you don't think

you're sitting there.

- Bye. Good seeing you.

- I had this seat with Hugo.

Well, Hugo's not here,

and I'm telling you to get lost.

- Later, Roger, as in peace.

- Jason, stop. Leave him alone.

Michael, come on.

Go ahead and

keep sitting there.

- Maybe I won't kick your ass again.

- It's okay, Roger.

You can sit there.

It's fine.

- F*ggot. Tag along, f*ggot.

- Jason!

Why don't you go sit

with some other friends.

Oh, you don't have any.

Everybody hates you.

Stupid tag-along.

Get lost.

Flea.

- F***ing f*ggot.

- F*** off.

- Loser. F***ing loser.

- Get out of here, Roger.

It hurts, doesn't it?

Then get lost.

You've got five minutes, man.

What's going on?

You really

f***ed me up, man.

- Me?

- Yeah, you, b*tch!

If I knew Desi was going behind

my back, I could deal with that.

But all this wondering you got me

going through is bullshit!

You can't be thinking

about that now.

I'm going to tell you

like this, Hugo.

You better hope and pray you can

prove that Mike is f***ing Desi.

You understand me?!

I try to help my friend

and this is what I get?

Why don't you just

f***ing forget about it, man?

I mean,

you f***ing got everything.

I would give my left nut

to be in your shoes.

F*** Desi!

She's not some gold medal you need

to win! You're the f***ing medal, man!

From the first time I saw her-

the only reason I ever wanted

to do something big

was so she'd be proud

to stand next to me.

Sh*t.

Look, is she cheating on me

or not?! What the f***?

Let's talk about this

after you win this thing.

Don't you hold back

on me, Hugo. Not now.

- Come on.

- No, you come on, b*tch!

- What, are you going to hit me?

- I will if you don't speak to me.

I don't know if it's true, but he told

me they were together last night

- and I don't know what else.

- God damn it.

That's all

I'm saying for now.

We can get together tonight

and talk about this.

They don't know

who they're f***ing with.

What's that?

I said they don't know

who they're f***ing with.

They don't know

who they're f***ing with!

Better hurry up, son.

You're late.

Knock them dead.

- Odin James.

- Okay,

highest score is 50.

You get one minute to do three dunks.

I'm only doing one.

- What?

- I'm only doing one.

But you get

to throw out the two lowest.

And now, our very own Odin James.

Grab your jockstraps, gentlemen.

He's about to blow you away.

Go! Go! Go!

Wow, he dunked it!

I didn't think

he could do that anymore.

Go! Go! Go!

Yo, man,

that dunk was all that,

- but I need the ball back, kid.

- What?

- The ball, homey. Give it up.

- This ball right here, shorty?

No, n*gger, the balls

hanging under your dick.

Watch your f***ing mouth.

Who are you talking to?

I'm just asking

for one last game, Bob.

One game for whom?

For you...

or for him?

Because he's lucky

he's not suspended.

Yeah, Dad,

who's your favorite now?

I'm going

to take care of you, man.

This sh*t right here...

will help you make it through.

I don't want

to be doing this.

Just making it through, player.

Just making it through.

So, while the sh*t

was going down tonight,

I was doing

some detective work.

Mike says half the time,

she doesn't want to have sex.

She just wants

to lay naked in the bed.

But they're f***ing, O.

And they have been

for over a month now.

They do it in her room.

And there's

one more thing...

Don't get mad at me

for saying this, but...

they call you

"the n*gger," man.

Desi wouldn't say

nothing like that, man.

Sh*t.

- Hey.

- What's the matter?

Nothing.

What do you want?

Man, I just need

to talk to you.

I'm a little busy.

Just give me two minutes.

- All right, but-

- Give me two minutes, all right?

Wait here.

Hey, O. That's Mike.

He wants to talk

to me about Desi.

Listen, I'm going

to ask him what's up.

All right?

You can hear for yourself.

Come on,

let's take it out here.

Hugo, you're my man

for life. Forever.

Just stay on the porch

no matter what he says.

Just stay on the bench.

Be quiet, all right?

Hey, man, what have you got

going on here?

What's up, big baller?

Don't remind me of basketball.

So, you and Desi have been

spending a lot of time together.

If you could just handle her

the way you handle Brandy,

then you'd be in business.

That girl does whatever I say.

She might be

in love with me, though.

I heard she thinks the two

of you are going to get married.

Yeah, right. Give me

some credit. She's a slut.

Man, I was

at the library yesterday.

She took me in the back.

In the freaking library?

No f***ing way.

And check this out.

She said, down the road,

even if she's with somebody,

even if she's married,

she said she'd do me

until the day she dies.

No f***ing way.

She does follow me everywhere.

Have you seen Michael?

What about Odin?

What about him?

He's a freaking loser.

- The ghetto just popped out of him.

- You don't have to go there.

Listen, the n*gger's

out of control.

And I'm glad

he's off the team.

And if he comes at me again,

I swear I'll kill his ass.

Hugo, where's Michael?

Hugo, I know Mike's in here.

- Open the damn door!

- Oh, boy.

- What's up?

- Hey.

What the hell do you

think you're doing,

giving me something

you got from some other b*tch?

What?

- A**hole!

- What are you tripping about?

- It's a present.

- Yeah?

Well, I like presents

where I was the only owner!

Brandy.

You see what I have to deal with?

You want this?

How are we going

to kill this motherf***er?

How are we going

to kill this motherf***er?

That's a big step.

What about Desi?

I don't get people

in here with that kind of money.

But it is

one hell of a watch.

What are you looking

to get for it?

You have any papers

on this .38?

On what?

Don't even look in that case.

Don't even think about it, unless

you're ready to pull out some ID.

Listen,

you want that watch.

I want that pistol.

You've been

everything to me, O.

To me, you're not my friend,

you're my brother.

And when a brother

is wronged, so am I.

I'm you, O.

I'm a part of you.

The plan I've come up

with is flawless,

planned out to the minute.

I've spent the last few days

going over every possible detail and angle.

All we have to do

is set this thing in motion
