BUCK thinks - Walk away now. Buck, walk away.

GINGER - Oh okay okay, I see what you workin' with.
(She turns her back to him and starts to move her body around.)
BUCK thinks - Damn, that skirt is mad short! How in the world is she gonna dance in that skirt?
(GINGER spins back around to face BUCK.)
GINGER - What did you just say?
BUCK - Huh?

SETH - Oh go ahead already! We'll be fine.
(GINA bends down.)
GINA - Bye handsome. Mommy and Daddy will be back to see you tomorow okay?
(The baby reaches up and grabs her by the neck. She picks him up and hugs him.)
GINA - Awww, good night precious.
(She tries to hand the baby to KIM and MIGIRI starts to cry.)
MIRI thinks - Oh boy, here we go!
MIRI - Come on babe, let's go before he really realizes what's going on.
SETH - He'll be fine. Go ahead.
(SETH takes him from GINA.)
SETH - See yall later.

MIGIRI - Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
SETH - Okay okay! Um... here here...
(SETH holds his keys out and shakes them. MIGIRI stops crying and looks at them. SETH shakes them again and the baby reaches out for them.)
SETH - See, that wasn't so hard.
(He gives them to the baby.)
KIM - Good! Whew that crying will drive you crazy!
SETH - Yeah I see why they were so hard pressed to go... hey hey!
(The baby is putting the keys in his mouth. SETH grabs them and takes them away.)
MIGIRI - Waaaaaaaaaaa! Waaaaaaaaaaa! Waaaaaaaaaaaaa! Waaaaaaaaaaa! Waaaaaaaaaaaaa! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
(SETH looks at KIM as she closes her ears.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUCK and GINGER are talking to one another on the dance floor.
(GINGER spins around to show herself off.)
GINGER - So you like my skirt?
BUCK - I mean...
(BUCK looks her up and down as she smiles at him.)
BUCK - Its short. Mad short.
GINGER - Well duh! Ha ha ha ha ha.
BUCK - Its too short.
GINGER - Huh?
BUCK - Its way too short. I don't even see how you can breathe in that without it raising up.
(silence)
GINGER - Come here boy.
(GINGER starts to walk off the dance floor.)
BUCK thinks - Walk the other way Buck, don't follow her. Do not follow her.
(BUCK follows GINGER off the dance floor. They walk over to an area that has chairs. She sits on a stool and crosses her legs.)
GINGER - Okay, let me give you a lesson on fashion my tall friend. Yes this skirt is short. But its made that way.
BUCK - Okay...
GINGER - What I mean is, its designed to be short and not to show whats underneath. So I can move all I want. Unless someone feels like getting down on the floor and looking up to see what's up...
(She laughs.)
GINGER - ...unless you wanna go through all that trouble, you won't see anything.
BUCK - Oh.
GINGER - And if a brother wants to go through all that trouble, I might just give him what I got on underneath!
(BUCK laughs.)
BUCK thinks - Okay, that is my signal to leave!
(BUCK looks at her legs which are crossed right beside him.)
GINGER - And let me take it a step further. Make it more personal.
BUCK - Okay.
GINGER - These skirts nowadays are made with the panties built in.
BUCK - Huh?
GINGER - Okay, this one I have on now has underwear already in them. So all I gotta do is step in and voila. All covered.
BUCK - Okay I think this is too much information.
GINGER - Oh calm down. Its no big deal. Like I said, its built in.
BUCK - So wait...
(BUCK looks around and barely recognizes anyone. He looks back at GINGER.)
BUCK - So you got on nothing... but this skirt?
GINGER - Well yeah, I mean no. I mean... what?
BUCK - I'm asking... if the panties are built in, then you don't need your own.
GINGER - Now you're getting it Sherlock!
BUCK thinks - Leave now! I can't talk to you anymore! I cannot talk to you anymore! Stop looking at me like that!
BUCK - Like I said, that is way too much information.
(GINGER laughs.)
GINGER - Don't you have a sister?
BUCK - I mean yeah but whoa! I don't know what the hell she got goin' on underneath!
(GINGER laughs again.)
GINGER - Well what about June? I know you know the deal with her. She dresses pretty sheek and casual.
BUCK - June? No she doesn't. June is jeans and a t shirt twenty four seven. That's why I love her. Just down to earth.
GINGER - Well thats cool.
BUCK - Yeah, she don't get into short stuff like this.
GINGER - She should. She has a great figure. She should show it off.
BUCK - Only to me! Only to me!
(They both laugh.)
GINGER - Right right.
(silence)
GINGER - Well ask her about the skirts with the built in panties. She'll know.
BUCK - No she won't.
GINGER - Sure she will. You'd be surprised what women keep up with in fashion.
BUCK - Naw man, I'm tellin' you. June really aint into fashion like that. She really aint. She aint even into thongs at all. She aint even into it.
GINGER - What! She don't wear thongs? Ever?
BUCK - Nope. Never. She aint into that.
GINGER - Oh gosh, I wear thongs every day! I would die without my thongs.
BUCK - Every day?
GINGER - Heck yeah. Panty lines are for the birds. Bump that. When thongs came out, I was the happiest chick around.
BUCK - Shit, you weren't happier than me!
(BUCK laughs.)
GINGER - I know, all guys love em. You should tell June to wear em more often.
BUCK - More often? She don't wear em at all.
GINGER - Wow. So you never see em huh?
BUCK - Only when a girl's jeans are riding low like how most of these chicks on campus do.
(GINGER smiles.)
GINGER - That's too bad.
(silence)
(silence)
(silence)
(GINGER hops up off her chair.)
GINGER - Come on man.
(She grabs his hand.)
BUCK - Where we goin'?
GINGER - Just cuz you're like a brother to me... you my boy, I got somethin' to show ya.
BUCK - Something to show me?
(GINGER smiles.)
GINGER - Yep. Let's take a quick run to my place. Its only a few minutes away. I got a new thong with studs in it. Looks like diamonds on a string. You're gonna love it! Come on!

SETH - Okay, um... he said you want to wipe him down, clean him up and put powder on... oh gosh!

KIM - Oh its funny huh! Shut up and wipe his ass!

SETH - Hey!
KIM - See, that's what you get!
MIGIRI - Mommyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

HOLLY - What?
BANE - Why don't you stop trying to get up in everybody's mix! You need to chill on that.
HOLLY- What are you talking about?
BANE - Everybody knows you as that nosey chick! I mean damn, your reputation on campus is the bitch that nobody wants to talk to.
HOLLY - What!
BANE - I aint trying to call you out your name, I'm just saying. Nobody likes to continue conversations around you because they know you like to gossip so damn much. That shit aint cool.
HOLLY - You trippin'! Everybody talks about stuff.
BANE - No they don't. How you gonna just come out your face and ask if we know some juicy gossip?
HOLLY - I was just playing.
BANE - No you weren't!
(BANE laughs but HOLLY is taking offense.)
HOLLY - No really, I was joking.
KEN - Holly, no you weren't.
HOLLY - Oh you think I'm a gossip too?
KEN - Everybody does. I have to admit.
HOLLY - Well!
(HOLLY starts to grab her things.)
BANE - Oh stop being all dramatic. Damn, chill out.
HOLLY - Whatever.
(She gets up.)
KEN - Hey Holly, no hard feelings girl. You know we love you soror!
HOLLY - Bump yall!
(She's being sarcastic.)
KEN - Bye Holly!
(She waves over her head as she walks out of the room.)
KEN - Why you have to go there with her?
BANE - Cuz man! Shit, somebody needs to tell that nosey bitch to chill out! Damn!
(KEN laughs.)
BANE - I almost forgot what the hell I was talking about!
KEN - The Ahpla bros.
BANE - Oh yeah, shit! So anyway, I go over there because Larry calls me. So I get up in there and when I get up in the meeting, they make me leave!
KEN - Make you leave?
BANE - Yeah, they asked me to leave the room. Like I wasn't frat or something!
KEN - What did they say?
BANE - Some bull about having to discuss some issues or something and I had to leave the room. I was like, damn man! What the heck?
KEN - Who told you?
BANE - Reg.
KEN - Really? He is normally mad cool!
BANE - Well he wasn't then! And mad bros backed him up. Quinton too.
KEN - Are you serious?
BANE - Yeah man!
(silence)
KEN - Damn.
BANE - Yeah, that's some shit huh?
KEN - Well maybe there was a good reason. Maybe they had some stuff to handle in house.
BANE - In house? This is one house. The house of Alpha!
KEN - Well...
BANE - I mean, we were taught to be brotherly and fraternal. No matter what. This is one house. One house.
KEN - I hear ya.
(BANE turns away upset.)
(silence)
KEN - So what you gonna do?
(silence)
(silence)
BANE - I don't know...
(silence)
BANE - But just know that I'm pissed... and that's not good... being that they got a line coming out. It just aint good.
