Step Sisters Page #5

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're not teaching them are you, Jam?

Girl, you're crazy.

Teaching?

Oh, we're... I'm busy, you know.

- OK.

- Cardio, Harvard...

I mean, I'm surprised

they find time to practice,

with all the tanning sessions

and blow-drying...

Girl, when was the last time you

left the house without your edges laid?

Cheryl? No. I didn't send for you.

- It's the wrong time...

- We should run.

Because we don't want our FitBits

judging us tonight.

Because we want to be more like... OK.

Ooh! Oh no, girl. You're mad sweaty.

You know I don't do sweat.

- I glow.

- I forgot.

- You're right. OK, girl. Bye! See you!

- See you.

- You're about to get that sh*t again.

- Bye!

I don't know what's going on with her.

Out of control.

[BETH PANTS]

If my sorors find out I'm teaching you

to step, it will get ugly,

like Love and Hip Hop reunion show ugly.

- I like Love and Hip Hop reunion shows.

- I know.

What do you have,

an exam on that comic book?

I didn't know you liked zombies.

Campus is all abuzz about

these white girls stepping next week.

- Are they excited?

- Depends on the skin tone.

Seems to be a direct correlation

between pigmentation and indignation.

Great. So, my college legacy will be...

Auntie Tom, the sell-out house Negress.

[KEVIN] Let's postpone your pity party.

OK, my sister tells me you guys

are doing a karaoke fund-raiser?

- Yeah.

- Karaoke's way more fun with a live band.

And I happen to play keyboard in...

So, your legacy will be...

the keyboard playing, Arabic studying,

snowboarding handyman?

- Honey, you're a mess.

- Or a Renaissance man.

I'll just...

I'm gonna get back to work, so...

Let me take you out.

Like a date.

I'm not, you know,

a dinner-date kind of guy.

I'm more original with my game.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah.

I just think it's probably too soon

for a ski weekend in Afghanistan, so...

The whole playing-hard-to-get thing

really works well for you.

[CHUCKLES] You've got a lot of balls.

Nah.

Just two.

So corny.

Ugh. There you go.

That word again.

Look, make a list of everything

that's not corny,

so I can be cooler in the future.

Oh, you've got it. What's your e-mail?

Uh, twobigballs@forreal.com.

- Twomicro...

- Massive...

- ...balls@inyourdreams.com.

- Inreality.com.

[JAMILAH] OK. Got it.

Ooh, baby, baby

Baby, baby

Salt and Pepa's here

And we're in effect

Want you to push it, babe

Cooling by day...

[HUMS INTO GLASS]

Let's go show the guys that we know

How to become...

$2,100 at the door.

Jam, will you gay-marry me?

Yeah!

I need more songs.

- [JAMILAH] Behind the bar.

- I crossed out the Prince songs.

Drunk a**holes screeching Purple Rain

is no way to honor his memory.

You missed my rendition of

B*tch Betta Have My Money.

And calling it "epic"

would be a gross understatement.

[CHEERING]

[CROWD WHOOPING]

Up next, Jamilah!

Please report to the stage.

Jamilah.

[BETH] Kill it, girl!

[CROWD WHOOPING]

- Cute.

- [KEVIN] I've been called worse.

So, what will it be?

Shoop? Single Ladies?

Hmm? Well?

["JUST WHAT I NEEDED" BY THE CARS PLAYING]

[WOMAN HOWLS IN APPROVAL]

I thought was corny?

I don't mind you coming here

And wasting all my time, time

'Cause when you're standing oh so near

I kind of lose my mind, mind

It's not the perfume that you wear

It's not the ribbons in your hair

I don't mind you coming here

And wasting all my time

I guess, you're just what I needed

Just what I needed

I needed someone to feed

I guess, you're just what I needed

Just what I needed

I needed someone to bleed

[LIBBY SCREAMS]

Hey. Quick second.

Stay away from my brother.

He falls really hard and really fast.

He just got out of a bad break-up.

He doesn't need some rebound chick

heart-raping him.

I have a boyfriend,

who's driven and successful...

Kevin is my best friend in the world.

And if you hurt him,

I will wear your ass like a leg warmer.

Great job up there!

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

[CELL PHONE PINGS AND BUZZES]

[SIGHS]

[BETH]

Jammer! Come to Fleck's with us tonight.

It's Ladies' Night -

epic buzz for minimal ducats!

Hmm...

Maybe, but I'm kind of stressed.

Just want to chill. OK?

[AISHA] Hey, Jam. Sorors from Cornell

are in town tonight - dying to see you.

Fleck's, at 11:
00. Ladies night.

Oh...

Uh...

[BETH] Come, for reals!

SBBs are actually missing you!

Aw.

[AISHA] Not to nag, but this MIA routine

is making girls feel some kind of way.

[DANE] Beautiful brown boo!

My plans fell through.

You down for some spoken word tonight?

Ew.

[KEVIN]

You know, I've been thinking about you.

All good thoughts.

Well, mostly good thoughts.

[DANE] Are you there?

Childproof your thoughts, buddy.

I've got a boyfriend, remember?

[DANE] What are you talking about?

[BETH] I'll stop by on my way to Fleck's!

[AISHA] The sorors wanna

bring the party to you!

[DANE] Are we role-playing again?

I'm coming over.

[JAMILAH SCREAMS]

God!

[CELL PHONE PINGS]

What?

[DEAN BERMAN] Grab me a cheeseburger pizza

and some bacon-wrapped onion rings.

It's Faturday night!

[CELL PHONE PINGS]

[DEAN BERMAN] Sorry, Bishop.

That was for the hubby.

Do not judge my carb-loading.

Weird.

God!

[FEET STOMPING]

OK. Hold that pose.

Throw your hand sign up.

You've got to let people know

the koala bear is your emblem.

This is an applause break and a chance

for you guys to catch your breath.

Also, you'll stop becoming moving targets.

GET READY FOR PROJECTILES:

hot dogs, sodas,

any aerodynamic concession, really.

If they throw it,

they better be ready to catch it.

- It doesn't matter. We are gonna kill it.

- [JAMILAH] There's one more thing.

You guys need to get intense.

[SHOUTS] Gentlemen!

[FEET STOMPING]

[SHOUTS] Greetings from the brothers

of the rugged, the raucous,

and oh-so-ruthless Rho Lambda Chapter!

Rho Beta Mu fraternity, incorporated!

[ALL SHOUT] Rho, Beta, Beta, Beta Mu!

[BETH SQUEALS]

[AMBER WHISPERS] Jesus Christ.

Ladies, introduce yourselves!

- Amber.

- SBB!

[LIBBY] I'm from Texas. I'm actually...

- [BETH] Shh.

- Pitiful!

Man, you all need to spit with some fire.

Put some bass and gravel in your voice!

You all can say some

whack-ass words all day,

but if you spit with some fire,

it will make people's ass hair stand up!

Hey.

Their ass!

[SHOUTS] Make their ass hair... stand up!

Serious.

Shut up!

Say "Hello Kitty."

- Are you hitting on me?

- I said, say "Hello Kitty!"

- Hello Kitty.

- Louder!

Hello Kitty!

Not the back of your throat,

from the bottom of your ass!

- [SHOUTS] Hello Kitty!

- Louder!

[SCREAMS] Hello Kitty!

- Say "Honey Boo Boo!"

- Honey Boo Boo.

[SHOUTS] Pull that Barbie

out of your butt, sis!

[GROWLS] Honey Boo Boo!

- Chicken!

- Chicken!

- Tenders!

- Tenders!

- Chicken tenders!

- Chicken tenders!

I said, chicken tenders!

[GROWLS LOUDLY] I said, chicken tenders!

Calm down, white girl.

Say "Chef Boyardee."

You've got to be kidding me.

Come on "Becky with the Good Hair!"
