Hey Smokey!
Yo brother’s in town. I seen him by the park.
He’s around there somewhere.
|
|
|
|
| Smokey: |
|
Really?
How does he look like?
|
|
|
|
| Air: |
|
Like
you, dummy. (The bird leaves.) |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
Did ou hear
that, Scarface? Air the bird seen my twin borther!
|
|
|
|
| Scarface: |
|
Yeah, I
heard what he said.
|
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
So,
we gotta go now and go find him so I can be one step closer
to findin’ my family. |
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
No
– I don’t care about your twin brother cause
I know as soon as we find him you gonna leave me by myself
with nobody to talk to, for a twin brother you never seen. |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
That’s
not true, man.
|
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
Yes,
it is. |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
No.
It aint’. You know we’re tight.
I ain’t never gonna leave you – so, are you
gunno help me, then? |
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
I
don’t know – no – I don’t wanna help.
You know what happened to me out there… how that
dog started chasin’ me when I tried to get a little
food – screamin’ at me – sayin’ bad
things… |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
I
know what happened to you. That ain’t gonna
happen cause you ain’t alone this time – you
with me and I’m a great thief. |
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
The
answer is no, and that’s it. |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
You
shady – you ain’t tryin’ t help me?
You call yourself my friend? You just a sucka -
a mark - a square bear – man, you everything,
everything but a dog. You a pussy–cat. |
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
You
know what? Why you gotta dis me like that? |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
‘Cause
I can. |
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
No,
you can’t. |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
You
know what – you better help me or else I’m tellin’
- you stole your mom’s jewelry fro the safe in the
office. |
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
Why
you gotta do that for? You know that’s the
only thing I got from my mom and they wouldn’t give
it to me so I had to take it from them. |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
‘Cause
you don’t wanna help me.
|
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
You know
what? I’ll make a deal with you. If
you beat me in a fight, I’ll help you get out of
here. If you don’t, you gotta stay here with
me where it’s safe and you’re safe from harm.
(He pushes Smokey).
|
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
Why you
gotta push me for? You call this a safe place?
Look at all the times when all dese dogs tryt o punk
you for your food all the time. This place ain’t
safe. (He pushes Scarface.)
|
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
It’s
better than being out there. You ain’t got
no money, no food, no one to take care of you and in here
you got everything. You aint’ even gotta do
nothin’. |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
But
I really gotta find my family. (Scarface pushes
Smokey.) Man, I ain’t gonna fight you. |
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
Yes,
you are – (pushes Smokey again) cause if you
really wanna see your family you gotta fight me. |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
Man,
there’s no other way you could help me? |
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
(Confused.)
NO. (He pushes Smokey again.) The only
reason I don’t wanna help you is cause I ain’t
got family and you do and I be getting’ jealous when
you be sittin’ there talkin’ about your family
at night. |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
I
thought you weren’t trippin’ off that cause
you always be listenin’ to me when I talk about my
family. |
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
I
do – I just don’t want nobody knowin’ that
I miss my family that much. |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
Man,
if you help me get out – I’ll help you find
your family too. |
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
I
ain’t go family. They got killed – don’t
you remember? |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
(Confused.)
Sort of – no. |
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
You
know they got killed by a gang a dogs and all I did was
get a scar on my face trying to help my family –
I was mad and sad at the same time. I was sad cause
I was there seein’ my family get killed and I was
mad cause I couldn’t do nothing about it. |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
Oh,
that’s what happened to your family.
|
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
Year
– that’s why I don’t wanna help you find
your family cause I think you might get killed which I’ll
be lonely. |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
Man,
that’s why you don’t wanna help me? I
appreciate you feelin’ that but that ain’t gonna
happen to me. |
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
You
amy be able to take care a yourself, but you can’t
predict when someone’s gonna come out nowhere and
kill you for no reason. |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
That’s
tru but I still gotta find my family no matter what so
I won’t have to be in this orphanage no more and
so we could care for each other again like a family’s
supposed to. Man, no matter what, you know I’m
gonna take you wit me even if we find my family or not
– you still gonna be wit me and you gone be part
of the family cause ever since I got here you had my back
and I had your back. |
|
|
|
| Scar: |
|
You
know what, Smokey? You ain’t even go a fight
me. I’ll help you find your family. You
convinced me that family is more important and it means
a lot to you and whatever’s important to you –
is important to me. |
|
|
|
| Smo: |
|
Alright.
Thanks, Scarface. We really oughta get goin’
cause then my brother might leave and I won’t be
able to see him no more.
(They started walking together.)
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
End. |
