Step Sisters Page #9

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.

Everything I do

I do it with a passion

If I've got to be

I'm gonna be a bad one

Crazy

Live for the challenge

Only make me stronger

One more reason to turn up on them

I go, I go, I go, I go crazy

Crazy

[GROANING]

OK!

[PANTING]

You guys look good.

Let me see it one more time from the top.

[ALL] No!

Goddamnit.

We have been doing this all night!

Oh, I think I gave myself a hemorrhoid.

OK, fine. Take five.

Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

It's Kevin.

I haven't seen him this upset

SINCE THEY CANCELED STAR TREK: Voyager.

Is he sad about me?

Or is he sad that his sister

tried to sabotage his girlfriend?

- I said the "G" word.

- Yeah, you did.

Do you think he'd talk to me?

Get out of here.

Yes, ma'am.

[SNORING]

["JUST WHAT I NEEDED" BY THE CARS

PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS OUTSIDE]

[GROANS]

What...

[PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

I don't mind you coming here

And wasting all my time

'Cause when you're standing oh so near

I kind of lose my mind...

Look, Kevin.

I've always been good at everything.

Very little in life has challenged me.

I had a clear image of my perfect guy,

and it looked nothing like you.

- Why are your apologies so mean?

- No! You don't look bad.

You look great,

beautiful,

tall and handsome,

and your teeth are so white.

Your skin is so smooth and soft,

like a baby, and it's hairless.

I have no idea how you do it.

And you're just like...

You're a goofball.

You play video games online

with 12-year-olds.

- I'm about to ask you to leave because...

- Hey, I'm trying to be corny here.

I realize that Harvard

is what my parents wanted.

Well, what do you want?

I don't know.

But I know I want you.

I know I want to give us another shot.

What do you say?

That I'm never gonna be a six-foot-four

football-playing lawyer

who knows all the lyrics to old

Tribe Called Quest songs.

And that's who you always wanted, so go...

Go find him and...

Hey.

Actually...

don't find that guy.

In fact,

Eff that guy.

He probably doesn't exist anyway.

I do.

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

[JAMILAH SIGHS]

Are you guys feeling out of place,

like maybe they're judging you

before you've expressed yourselves?

- Yeah.

- Yes.

Tell me something.

How do you think they feel

when they're the only black person

in a class or at the office?

- So, you're saying we're screwed?

- You're in this position for ten minutes.

Are you gonna fall apart

and drown in a pool of white-girl tears,

or are you gonna cowgirl the f*** up?

- Yeah. Cowgirl up!

- Hell yeah.

- Thank you.
