| Black: |
|
What’s
up lil’ bra? You ready to go?
|
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
Yeah, I
been ready.
|
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
Go tell
Dad we’ll be back in a little while with the breakfast.
(On the way hunting)
|
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
(While
hunting)
Hey Bra, I got this problem.
|
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
What’s
been bothering you?
|
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
Well,
you know, since we been little kids you’ve gotten
everything first. |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
What
do you mean by that? |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
I guess
what I’m trying to say is tomorrow one of us is
gonna be chosen as king. But I already know that your
gonna be the one chosen as king.
|
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
What
made you think that? |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
Cause
you are the oldest. You always get everything first. |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
(He
starts to think about what Jam has said. He starts to
feel sorry for him)
Well you know that I am the oldest and I should get everything
first. Just think how would you feel if you were in my
shoes. |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
(Thinks
to himself for a minute)
That’s true, but I’m just tired of always coming
second. I feel that I’ll make a great king of this
century. |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
Well,
you know the rules. |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
What
rules? |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
The rules
are that the oldest son is the first in line to become
king, then so on down the line.
|
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
But
Dad told us last month that whoever he feels is the most
responsible then that’s who will be chosen as king. |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
(Breaks
conversation)
We’re out here to hunt. And there go a rabbit so
be quiet before you scare him off. |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
Why are
you trying to cut me off like that?
|
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
I told you
to be quiet. Now look, why did you scare off the rabbit?
|
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
Man, forget
that rabbit. That’s not what I came to you for.
I came because I needed to tell you about how I been
feeling about the way Dad has been treating me since
we were little kids.
|
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
Well,
if that’s how you been feeling then why haven’t
you went and talked to dad about it. And let him know
that you don’t feel the way he hasn’t been having
confidence since we were little. |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
Cause
I know that you would understand better than
Dad. And I thought maybe you would talk to Dad for me,
because I know that he would listen to you before he would
listen to me. |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
Well
lil’ bra I can’t always do for you something
you have to learn to do for yourself. Plus, I have a wish
of my own and it’s about time that I get ready for
my dream cause when I become king I have to make sure
that everything is in place. And there’s still a
big part of my wish that I don’t know if it’s
going to happen. |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
What’s
this big wish you talking about and what do you mean by
you don’t know if it’s going to happen? |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
Enough
of this. We have to get back with some food cause we told
Dad we was going hunting for everyone. So be quite cause
we need to catch a deer or gazelle so we all can get full. |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
Why
do you keep trying to put this off? I think that you feel
that this is not really important. And that you don’t
care about how I feeling on how Dad has been treating
me. Are you taking his side? Do you feel that what he
has been doing is right? |
| |

Scene
2 |
| |
|
(Black
and Jam returns home with breakfast. After eating they
both go to thinking about what happen on the hunt. Jam
goes to the water to think and Black goes to his girl’s
house to tell her what’s on his mind. Jam at the
waterfall thinking to himself.) |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
Man,
what am I going to do about tomorrow? Well, Black did
say that it’s time that I start to do for myself.
I wonder what he meant that he had a big part of a wish
that he didn’t know if it was going to happen. I
think he’s starting not to care about how I feel
anymore. Since we have got older he doesn’t do for
me like he used to. Like when we had that talk I thought
after that he would talk to Dad for me, but look what
he does. He keeps trying to cut me off talking about we
came out here to hunt. I’ll show him since he doesn’t
want to help me. I do it myself. I show him and Dad that
I am responsible and that I will make a great king.
(He starts to think of a plan)
(Black walks in the door with this look on his face and
his girl asks him what’s wrong.) |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
Well, first
I just had this talk with Jam and from the looks of
things it didn’t turn out very well. I think Jam
thinks this stuff with me suppose to be coming the king
and fulfilling my dream got him thinking that I don’t
care about him like I used to. But the thing is I just
don’t know how to tell him that I try to work my
own problem with making my greatest wish happen with
me having my own pride and going places in the jungle
I never been. But it will never happen. I guess I can
just help Jam become king tomorrow.
(She
starts to tell him something but he rushes out the door
to tell Jam and their father why he thinks that Jam
should become king. He walks out the door and down the
road when four black panthers come out and attack him.
Then Jam comes from nowhere and helps him. Then they
go home and Black tells his father what happens.)
|
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
Dad,
I have something I need to tell you.
(Jam sits outside and listens)
I think that Jam should be chosen king for this century,
because he’s very ambitious. Once he puts his heart
and mind to it, then he will do anything to accomplish
what ever it is he’s trying to do. I think that he
has put his mind and heart out to become king this century
and if you pick me as king then you will break his confidence.
(Jam starts to think about what Black says. When Black
walks out Jam stops him.) |
| |
|
|
| |
|
I
have something to tell you and it’s important, but
you may not like it. |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
What
is it you have to tell me that’s so important? And
what do you mean that I might not like it? |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Well,
you know about that ambush? |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
Yeah,
what about it lil’ bra? |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
I
kind of set it up. So that when I come out and help you,
it would look like that if it ever happened while I’m
king or something, everyone would know that I could handle
it. |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
What
do you mean you kind of set it up? You mean to tell me
that you had your own big bra ambushed to try to help
yourself become king? |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
It’s
not like that big bra. |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
That’s
what it sounds like to me. So that’s what was so
important? |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
No,
it’s something else too. |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
Now
what’s next? Do you have another devious plan to
tell me? |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
No,
your girl told me something the other day when I was talking
to her and she asked me if I would tell you for her. |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
And
what is it she asked you too tell me that she didn’t
want to tell me herself? |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
She
told me to tell you that you are going to become a father
and have your own pride. |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
Why
didn’t you tell me this? Why did you wait until now? |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
Cause
I was waiting until the perfect time and I thought this
was it. Another thing is you told Dad about me, but I
just went too far with this. You are the one that should
be chosen as king tomorrow and you have something to tell
everyone now. |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
What
is that? |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
You
are going to be a dad. |
| |
|
|
| Black: |
|
Well,
I guess I do. I hope you learned your lesson about going
too far with things. I hope you learn to wait until it’s
your time. |
| |
|
|
| Jam: |
|
Well,
I guess we both learned something new today. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
(The
next day. Black is chosen to be king for this century
and Black announces that he will be having a pride. A
few months later he has fulfilled his dream.) |
| |
| |
|
The
End. |
