Or, "All the..."

Would y'all excuse me for a minute, please?

I'll be right back.

Hey, how you doing?

- How long you gonna be out here?

- As long as it takes, Rachel.

- How long is that?

- Probably all night.

All night?

On this planet, only a few are chosen.

You do or you don't. You will or you won't.

Black and silver does.

G-Phi-G!

Ladies and gentlemen, friend and foe...

I present Miss Gamma Phi Gamma...

Jane Toussaint and her court.

We want ice.

I wanna know, is it worth it?

Trying to get this right

Trying to get this right

I know I shouldn't love you

You're always feeding me lies

Always feeding me lies

Now I'm staying home waiting

Ain't nothing on TV

On the TV

I don't want your prized possessions

I want you here with me

- I wanna let you know

- Know

- I'm not just for show

- Show

- Either you let me go

- Go

Or give me love, love, love

You got to understand the reason why

I wanna try to make things right

I don't wanna be alone tonight

Pretty baby

I don't want another useless night

I don't wanna be alone tonight

Oh, my Lord, have mercy

Oh, my God

Something's wrong in my head

Some say get her to a doctor

I came to see you instead

- I wanna let you know

- Know

- I'm not just for show

- Show

- Either you let me go

- Go

Or give me love, love, love

You got to understand the reason why

I wanna try to make things right

I don't wanna be alone tonight

But, pretty baby

I don't want another useless night

I don't wanna be alone tonight

I'm here to see you

'Cause I want you to feel my plight

I don't wanna be alone tonight

Boy, you got to either love me right

Or let me be

I don't wanna be alone tonight

Oh, no

- I wanna let you know

- Know

- I'm not just for show

- Show

- Either you let me go

- Go

Or give me love, love, love

You got to understand the reason why

I wanna try to make things right

I don't wanna be alone tonight

And, pretty baby

I don't want another useless night

I don't wanna be alone tonight

I'm here to see you

'Cause I want you to feel my plight

I don't wanna be alone tonight

Boy, you got to either love me right

Or let me be

I don't wanna be alone tonight

Boy

You know I love you

Oh, no, no, no, no, baby

Don't leave me here overnight

Oh, no, no, no, no, baby

Don't leave me here through the night

Damn it, Grady.

Why I get the sloppiest roommate in school,

I'll never know.

Do you have to use the whole can?

Well, you know Grady.

I mean, he don't feel at home...

unless it smells like a locker room in here,

you know.

Yeah.

What's the matter?

We had static

with Jane and the Gamma Rays.

Earlier today you told me

not to let Julian bother me.

So what's up with you and Jane, huh?

What happened, Rachel?

The usual.

Well, f*** them. I don't give two

motherfucks about them. So I don't see...

- Here we go.

- Here we go, where?

- Don't start, all right?

- What are you talking about? Don't start?

I know I have my problems with them,

but with you it's a crusade.

I'm beginning to think you're colour struck.

You definitely have a thing

against light-skinned blacks.

- Who, me?

- Yes, you.

No, no, Rachel. It's them. It's not me.

Come on, I adore octoroon,

quadroon mulattoes. They're so un-pure.

And you're 100%% pure?

Massa was in your ancestors' slave quarters

just like everybody else.

No, no, no. No white blood in me.

My stock 100%% pure Zulu Masai.

Nubian knight of Bingyjoint.

You are so silly.

But on the serious tip,

some of the wannabes are all right.

The rest suck.

If people are cool with me, Rachel,

I'm cool with them.

You're full of sh*t.

And you need to check yourself on that tip.

Butterflies begin

From having been another

As a child is born

From being in a mother's womb

But how many times

Have you wished you were some other

someone than who you are?

Yet who's to say

That if all were uncovered

You would like what you'd see?

You can only be you

As I can only be me

Flowers cannot bloom

Until it is their season

As we would not be here

Unless it was our destiny

But how many times

Have you wished to be in spaces

Time, places than where you were?

Yet who's to say

With unfamiliar faces

You could anymore be

Loving you that you see

You can only be you

As I can only be me

I can only be me

Oh, hold up. My arm's gone to sleep.

It's getting late.

Don't you have to go back?

I want you to spend the night, okay?

- What about Grady?

- Forget Grady.

I have something to tell you.

No, I'm not pregnant.

Okay. What?

- I'm pledging Delta next semester.

- You're what?

I'm going to pledge Delta next semester.

I've been to a couple of rushes,

and if they accept me, I'm gonna do it.

First it was Julian,

then it was Darrell, now you.

Everybody tripping or what? What is this?

- I don't believe this, Rachel.

- Believe it.

You sure know how to spoil

a pleasant evening.

I know how to spoil a pleasant evening?

I didn't come in here

talking about pledging no sorority.

I must have been sick in the head

to think I'd have your support.

Yeah. You must have been sick

in the head...

'cause you ain't getting my support

on nothing like that. No way.

- Thought I would.

- Yeah, well...

You know them sororities are just as bad

as fraternities, Rachel.

Vaughn, this is something that I want to do.

You have every right not to like the Greeks...

- but this is another matter.

- Now that's bullshit.

You haven't even considered the good

things that they do on campus and in the...

That's bullshit, Rachel!

They change people. You won't be the same.

People change for the worse

after they pledge.

If I seen it once, I seen it a million times.

- There's no way you can tell me...

- I'll be the same Rachel.

- And I'll still love you.

- Yeah.

Oh, fine.

Why don't you go join the Gamma Rays,

while you're at it?

Okay. Now I see.

This has nothing to do

with the Gamma Rays, right?

You know, Vaughn?

I've often wondered

if the only reason you're with me...

is because I'm one of the darkest sisters

on campus.

Good for your all-the-way-down,

pro-black nationalist image.

Rachel, Rachel.

Hey, how are you?

What's that?

G-Phi-G

The people united will never be defeated

G-Phi-G

She's so fine

Damn, the queen

Of your mind

Damn, the queen

She's so fine

Damn, the queen

Of your mind

Damn, the queen

She's so fine

Damn, the queen

Our people united will never be defeated

Our people united will never be defeated

G-Phi-G, let's go!

- Hold up. Hold up.

- Let's straighten this out.

Well, I see we meet again

under unpleasant circumstances.

Dap, you are in direct violation.

You need a permit from my office

to participate in this parade...

- and you don't have one.

- Dig it.

No permits, no parade.

- Julian, I can handle this myself.

- Well, handle it, then.

Excuse me.

- Give me the banner.

- We ain't giving you sh*t.

That's right, God damn it.

We pay tuition here just like everybody else.

F***ing wannabes make me sick.
