Step Sisters Page #10

Synopsis: Jamilah has her whole life figured out. She's the president of her black sorority, captain of their champion step dance crew, is student liaison to the college dean, and her next move is on to Harvard Law School. She's got it all, right? But when the hard-partying white girls from Sigma Beta Beta embarrass the school, Jamilah is ordered to come to the rescue. Her mission is to not only teach the rhythmically-challenged girls how to step dance, but to win the Steptacular, the most competitive of dance competitions. With the SBBs reputations and charter on the line, and Jamilah's dream of attending Harvard in jeopardy, these outcast screw-ups and their unlikely teacher stumble through one hilarious misstep after another. Cultures clash, romance blossoms, and sisterhood prevails as everyone steps out of their comfort zones.

You didn't expect that, did you?

Uh-huh. I see you over there.

"It was alright. It was alright.

It wasn't all that."

[JAMILAH] You guys slayed.

I am so proud of you.

[BETH CHUCKLES]

White girl tears. It's contagious.

[SBB LAUGH]

[MC] Our judges have made their decisions.

All competitors to the stage.

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

And now, for the moment

we all have been waiting for...

Let's get ready for the tears

and the cheers.

[MC] In third place,

taking home $10,000,

all the way from Hampton University,

Sigma Delta Eta!

Come on, now!

[CHEERING]

Give it up for them.

[CHEERING]

This is yours. Come here.

Come here.

And in second place,

winning $25,000...

I want you to make some noise

for Heta Rho Nu!

Yeah!

[MC MUTTERS]

[CHEERING]

And now, first-place winners,

taking home $100,000!

[MC WHOOPS]

[MC] That's a lot of money.

All the way from Westcott University...

Make some noise for the sexy sorority.

Put your hands together

for your Steptacular champions of 2017...

Theta Chi Phi!

Come on, now.

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

[MC WHOOPS]

[MC] Alright! Give them that thing.

You deserved it.

You deserved it.

So, that's it.

No money, no donation,

no reinstatement.

I want a picture with your fine ass.

All day, baby.

Check this out. Me and the judges

got a little creative with the scores.

You know what I'm saying?

We've got to keep stepping ours.

- Come on with the picture.

- Wait. Wait, what?

You know how it is.

Can't give them second. You feel me?

[MICROPHONE SQUEAKS]

Give me that. Excuse me.

[SHOUTS] Hello, hello! Excuse me!

Hold up.

This fool right here,

he just told me the judges

changed a score,

so that SBB would lose

and stepping would stay ours.

[AUDIENCE MUTTERING]

It's not right.

It's 2017.

According to the real scores,

SBB came in second place tonight.

[SBB SQUEAL EXCITEDLY]

[AISHA] And it's not right.

Listen, it is not right.

We need to give them their just due.

Come on.

Are you all gonna give it to them?

[AUDIENCE MEMBER] Whoa!

Really? Ooh! You all are really,

really testing my nerves.

You know what?

Come on, Becky.

Uh, Britney. Oh, gosh.

What's the child's name again?

- [JAMILAH SHOUTS] Beth!

- [BETH] Beth.

[AISHA] Beth. OK.

You all need to show some love to Beth

and her sorors. Come on.

Some love...

Because we, Theta Chi Phi,

we're gonna do the right thing

and split our check

with the real second-place team,

Sigma Beta Beta,

the real second-place step team.

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

[AISHA] OK. Alright. OK.

[JAMILAH'S DAD] Under the tutelage

of trailblazing senior, Jamilah Bishop,

SBB has made history

and managed to keep

a community institution's doors open.

[JAMILAH'S DAD CHUCKLES]

- That's my baby girl.

- I know.

[CAR DOOR CLOSING]

Hi, guys.

I can be strong-willed,

forceful,

intransigent.

All qualities that make me

one of the best judges in Pennsylvania.

But they can also make me

a difficult mother.

And I've learned,

with the help of my therapist...

that I am jealous

that you are a freer spirit than I.

And I am working on

accepting you unconditionally

because that is the way I love you.

If you do it one more time, Negro...

I know how to be civil,

unlike a certain physically fit

White House princess.

You are literally

the only person in the world

that does not love Michelle Obama.

But most importantly,

we're endorsing you to Harvard, baby girl.

I'm not going to Harvard.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

[DEAN BERMAN] What's next for you?

Get my drink on,

grab a couple guys,

try out my new vibrator.

[DEAN BERMAN HOOTS]

Boundaries! Hello!

Seriously, don't dodge the question.

What's next?

You know, I've never said this...

I don't know.

I don't know.

Feels good.

Luckily, I can work at 40th Street

until I figure it out.

You're a real rock star over there.

I've got to run. Nick just got back

from The Pleasure Chest.

[LAUGHTER]

I heard you got sh*t canned.

[JAMILAH LAUGHS WITHOUT HUMOR]

And I let you get away.

Hmm...

[BOTH LAUGH WITHOUT HUMOR]

Look, I know some people speechify

about inclusion and equality and...

[JAMILAH] Uh-huh.

I do. Fine. I do. But...

I mean, you really

walked the walk with SBB,

and I'm proud of you.

Look, I...

I should have never

taken you for granted, Jamilah.

Dane, we're cool.

You're still my nigga.

That's...

That's...

That's the nicest thing

anyone has ever said to me.

As-Salaam-Alaikum.

[KEVIN] Come on, Jam!

I feel like Robyn over there,

Dancing on My Own.

Oh, I'm sorry.

OK. Hello?

Before you two get to second base,

girl, you feel like strolling?

You know I do.

["ONE, TWO, STEP" BY CIARA PLAYING]

[KEVIN] Get her, boo.

You're a little freak.

Yeah.

I'm watching you.

[CHANTS] One-nine

[ALL CHANT] Sixteen

One-nine

Sixteen

[PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Automatic, supersonic, hypnotic

Funky fresh...

[ALL CHANT] Mmm, sta!

Koala, ah, ah, ah

Mmm, sta!

Koala, ah, ah, ah

[MEN CHEERING]

[ALL CHEERING AND CHANTING]

Mmm...
