Step Sisters Page #3

And to make it easier,

mentally and physically,

we don't drink during the week.

[ALL GASP]

Jesus Christ. Calm down.

I'm sorry, but Margarita Mondays

at Borracho's - that's an SBB tradition.

Turnt Up Tuesdays at Fleck's? Hello?

And if you think we're missing

Wine-down Wednesdays at Bedspins,

you can lick my...

I think we've heard enough.

SBBs, we're out.

No, no.

Beth.

The Dean is making an example of us.

SBB has become a beacon

of powerful, sexy b*tches

that every guy wants to be with

and every girl wants to lose 30 pounds

and be like.

We are highly respected on Greek row.

That's all that matters.

[POP MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, SBB. There's a ficus in the corner.

Start screwing.

[MAN] Oh, where's Tyler?

He's gonna get some!

- [MAN #2] I thought Devin nailed her!

- [MAN] I think they both hit it!

[ALL GASP]

[MEN CHANTING] SBB, STD!

[ACTRESS SCREAMS]

[KNOCK ON THE DOOR]

Did you order food?

No. I just ate.

[JAMILAH] OK.

Ugh.

Nice digs.

Well, look who has their own slice

of Wonder bread.

Pumpernickel.

Hmm.

Can I help you with something?

Step show. We're in.

Great.

SBB tomorrow, 9:
00.

Can't wait.

Seriously, a Snuggie?

I'm sorry. Did I... Did I hear that right?

You're teaching a white sorority to step?

Dean Berman is forcing me.

Look, there are better ways to impress

Harvard than playing Debbie Allen.

Oh, well, thanks for having my back,

just like you did with my parents.

They had a point.

You don't aim high enough.

Your ancestors fought

for your access to education.

- Honor their struggle.

- Struggle?

You should honor my struggle

not to slap you.

Snuggle me!

It is 9:
17 p.m., ladies.

You are late to an event taking place

literally a hundred feet

from your bedroom.

[SHOUTS] Get your flat asses in gear!

Go, go, go!

My ass is perfectly shaped for my frame!

Line up in two rows.

Do we have to do this in the basement?

It is really creepy down here.

Says the girl who does it in the bushes.

Stepping makes a lot of noise.

If we do this upstairs, your neighbors

will burn this place to the ground.

Where's Amber?

Does she get a demerit, Drill Sargent?

You know,

when I was president of my sorority,

I led by example.

Maybe if you tried that,

your charter wouldn't be in danger.

[WOMEN] Ooh!

OK. Now that we're all here...

What makes a great step team?

- Oh! Big-ass feet.

- Jesus.

Clever.

- But no.

- Oh.

- Unity.

- Unity! I was going to guess that.

In order to create the beat,

everyone has to be in sync.

Like our periods.

The audience spots mistakes

and weak links immediately,

and then you are done.

You have to think of yourselves

as limbs of the same body.

Sounds really corporate retreat-y.

Are we gonna do trust falls next?

[WOMEN LAUGH]

Do not talk while I am talking.

I'll extend you the same courtesy.

It's like mutual respect.

OK?

OK. Let's back it up a little bit.

Let me see you guys dance.

We are here to step.

That's different to dance.

[JAMILAH] You're right.

But I've got to see what I'm working with.

[HIP HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

First five.

["LEFT FOOT, RIGHT FOOT"

BY ILOVEMEMPHIS PLAYING]

Turn it up right now

Left foot, right foot

Left foot, right foot

Left foot, right foot

Get it on

Left foot, right foot

Left foot, right foot

Left foot, right foot

Put your hands up

Waa!

Hit it on them, hit it on them

Hit it on them

Hit it on them, hit it on them

Hit it on them

Put your hands up

OK, people, let's get started

I'm the turn up king

So I'm piping

Every guy is like, "Aye"

If you can't dance...

Um...

It's OK

Left foot, right foot

Come and swing my way

Memphis is my state

But I'm always in the A

And when I do my dance

Everybody's like "Ay"

Swag surfing caught a wave

And I ain't coming back down

Left foot, right foot

Turn up right now

OK! I've seen enough.

Alright. Today,

we're gonna do some stepping.

I'm gonna teach you an eight-count.

Watch my hands, watch my feet,

and really listen to the rhythm.

OK. Now, slow...

Now you try it.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Stomp, clap, slap.

Stomp, clap.

Bend your knees.

[UNCOORDINATED CLAPPING]

OK, just stop! This is so childish.

This is going to impress no one.

Danielle...

try the step alone.

My pleasure.

[JAMILAH] Oh, my God.

[LIBBY] Is she crazy?

Something like that?

Let's call it a night, ladies.

Practice this on your own.

Same time tomorrow.

Oh, my God.

[CHUCKLES]

I totally only drink things

with "skinny" in the title.

Like my handy work?

I built this so you can grab a bottle

from anywhere,

and the rest will redistribute

without breaking.

Are you a... Are you a new pledge, or...?

Oh, hell, no.

[JAMILAH LAUGHS]

You'd have to pay me, like, 12

Scrooge McDuck gold vaults to pledge SBB,

especially with Darth Hater as president.

Wow. Duck Tales and a Star Wars

reference in one sentence.

What's your name, not pledge?

Jamilah.

Jamilah.

That's Arabic for "beautiful" or "lovely."

I'm a former Arabic Studies minor.

I wanted to open a ski resort

in Afghanistan.

What could go wrong there?

Kevin.

So, you just hang out

in sorority houses, Kevin?

It's pretty creepy.

"Darth Hater" is my sister.

Danielle?

Nipple. Ass! B*tch. Christ. Crack.

Hooters. Spit it at her!

Danielle?

- Sorry. Her?

- Yeah.

- So, you're adopted?

- Yeah.

Sorry I'm late, Kev.

Somebody ran practice late.

So, like 20 minutes.

[JAMILAH GROANS]

My brother makes very bad decisions

when it comes to relationships.

I like to counsel him

because I'm an amazing sister

and an excellent leader.

I'll be right back.

- You...

- Easy. Easy.

- She touched your hair.

- Yes, Sharpton. Sharpton!

We used to bathe together as kids.

She gets a pass.

Good luck with that.

Thanks for the drink.

Yep.

Well, I'm around if you need anything!

So, I realized you guys are missing

some of the basic cultural building blocks

for stepping,

plus Danielle thinks this is childish.

And that gave me an idea.

This is Deja. This is Alani.

They're from 40th Street,

where my sorority volunteers every week.

Why would you be doing community service

if you didn't get a DUI?

The shade is real.

[ALL] Ooh!

OK. Show them what you got, ladies.

Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack

All dressed in black, black, black

With silver buttons, buttons, buttons

All down her back, back, back

OK, fine. That was precious.

But everybody's played

"Patty Cake" as a kid.

Oh, no, no.

"Patty Cake" is Taylor Swift.

"Miss Mary Mack" is Beyonc.

[BETH LAUGHS]

Partner up. Give it a shot.

[HIP HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

White, white girl

White girl

Hello?

White, white girl

[PANTS]

Come on, sis.

Don't let the white girl out-rhythm you.

Excuse me, young lady.

Is that how we speak to our elders?

- It is in my house.

- [GASPS] Ooh, I like you.

- No, she's rude.

- Hey! Hey, Saundra.

[BOTH] Ooh!

You should really

take this more seriously.

You have so much potential.

And you kind of have the most to gain.

You're learning something

to connect to your people.
