Hey, what
up Sis? You can’t believe what just happened.
You know how I have been trying to get a music deal...
well a couple of days ago, my folks hooked me up with
an A&R guy from Liza Records.
|
|
|
|
| Greena: |
|
From who?
|
|
|
|
| Slimie: |
|
Liza
Records. One of the most popular record companies
in the world.
Anyway, he told me to meet him at an audition in San Francisco
in about 15 minutes and I need a big favor from Sis. |
|
|
|
| Greena: |
|
What now?
|
|
|
|
| Slimie: |
|
I need you
to take me, pleeeeeeeeease......
|
|
|
|
| Greena: |
|
No.
Why are you trying to move things too fast? You
haven’t even finished school yet and you trying to
get a deal. All that A&R guy is trying to do
is get your hopes up. |
|
|
|
| Slimie: |
|
But... |
|
|
|
| Greena: |
|
Listen.
First you don;t understand you don’t need to push
these too far. I know you forgot about what is
important. You need your education. What
if you get a deal? You will forget about school.
Aren’t ya? Aren’t ya?
|
|
|
|
| Slimie: |
|
Man,
you don’t understand nothing, do ya? It’s
not that I’m trying to forget about it. I have
10 minutes ti accomplish my biggest dream. That’s
not important to me right now. I need this to move
us on up to the West side. |
|
|
|
| Greena: |
|
What
you mean your education’s not important? You
won’t make it nowhere in life without education!
You don’t understand that I’m trying to be your
big sister and care about you, and all you do is don’t
care! |
|
|
|
| Slimie: |
|
What
you mean I don’t care? I must DO care if I’m
trying to move us on up and trying to get us out of this
little apartment and into a mansion! |
|
|
|
| Greena: |
|
You
know what? All you do is think about yourself. |
|
|
|
| Slimie: |
|
Why’s
it such a big deal about me getting a contract?
Why? Are you hating on me? You’re supposed
to be my twin sister. We supposed to be so close,
but it seems like we so far away from each other.
|
|
|
|
| Greena: |
|
It’s
not that I’m hating on you — I just want you
to do better in life. I’m not trying to put
you down. I just want to see you be successful in
your business. Someday, you’ll thank me for
it. |
|
|
|
| Slimie: |
|
Thank
you for it? If I don’t get to my play, I’m never
gonna thank you at all. I’m never gonna forgive
you! You just sitting here worrying about my education,
but that’s not the problem right now. Ya heard
me? I’m trying to do what I gotta do right
not. So, you gonna take me or what? |
|
|
|
| Greena: |
|
No,
I’m not gonna take you, and if you get smart right
now, you gonna be out of the house and walking to your
audition! First things first — I don’t
have to take you. How do you know if I don’t
have to be no where right now? You just thinking
about yourself. |
|
|
|
| Slimie: |
|
What
is this that I’m thinking about myself? How
I’m thinking about myself? This has been my dream
since I was a little kid, to be a music entertainer. |
|
|
|
| Greena: |
|
I
didn’t want to tell you this, but I have to be somewhere
in 45 minutes. That’s one of the reasons I
don’t want to take you. This dance audition is really
important to me, too! I know you didn’t wanna
listen to me because you have minutes ticking down to
where you need to be, but I wanna let you know I have
somewhere to be, too.
That’s what I mean — I hate when you’re
trying to make me feel bad. But it’s not always
me to blame. Look, you have somewhere to be in 7
minutes and I have somewhere to be. Both of us can’t
go. |
|
|
|
| Slimie: |
|
Okay,
do what your heart’s telling you to do. Just
remember — I’m tired of begging you — I’m
tired of rushing you. I knew this argument was gonna
get down to this point, so make your decision. |
|
|
|
| Greena: |
|
[aside]
Oh no, what am I going to do? Should I take my
brother and forget about what’s really important
to me? Remember to self: this is the last chance
I’ll get to audition. They only come to the
city once every blue moon. I mean, I love my brother,
but this is my career, my dream, too. I don’t
know what to do.
|
|
|
|
| Slimie: |
|
Look, Greena,
I love you and understand your feeling about me going
to school, and about you and your dance future.
I know how since you were little you had your dance
dreams. Both of our dreams are on the line.
I understand how that’s really big to you.
It’s really big to me, but only one of us will
get that, at least right now.
|
|
|
|
| Greena: |
|
Hey, you
know what, Slimie? I been thinking and your dream
really is important to you. You know my dream
is really important to me, as your dream is to you.
You have 5 minutes to get to where you have to be.
All I’m saying is, if I get you down there in time
and you make it to the big world, will you not forget
about going to school?
|
|
|
|
| Slimie: |
|
You
know I’m not going to forget about it. You
know if I get this deal and everything get settled down,
I’ll go to college for two years. You know
I’m not gonna let you down. If I get this deal,
we both gonna be happy. Trust me. |
|
|
|
| Greena: |
|
[aside]
Yeah, I gave in. I let my brother accomplish his
dream. I hope it turns out well, like I planned
it. Maybe my dream will come back around one day.
[to Slimie] I never thought I would do this,
but brother, I love you and I’m gonna take you.
Because I really care about your dream and you and your
future, and I know I probably have been a little hating
on you. But I know you're getting older and you
have your own choices in life. I just hope for the
best for you and hope you don’t make any mistakes
in your life you’ll probably regret. Good luck
on your audition! |
|
|
|
| Slimie: |
|
Great!
Thank you! I love you so much. You don’t
know what this means to me giving up your dream for mine.
I’m speechless. I don’t know what to say, but
I’m gonna tell you, if things go right, we both will
be happy. Trust me.
[they hug] |
|
|
|
| Greena: |
|
We
have 4 minutes. Let’s go! We have to
hurry up and get down there! |
|
|
|
|
|
[SLIMIE
gets to the place in time and he turns out to be really
good, and gets a deal. He does really well and gets
his own company. Then, he gets his own dance instruction
team for his sister.] |
|
|
|
| |
|
The
End. |
