looking at me and she made me feel
really uncomfortable, so I smiled
at her I didn't do anything more.
                                                            
                       HAKEEM
      (chuckling)
You really think you are something

                       HAKEEM
      (mimicing WORKER 1)
She kept on looking and it made
me feel uncomfortable. Who the
hell are you to be feeling
uncomfortable? Are you stupid or
what? You know what clock out and
go home and don't come back. I am
so sick of putting up with you.
                                                            
HAKEEM walks away from the front counter. He stops and
walking all of a sudden and walks backwards to where the
delvery station was. He points at the boxes and pick them up
he read the time on them. Hakeem looks around .

                       HAKEEM

                       HAKEEM
      (yelling)
What the hell do you think you are
doing?
                                                            
                       WALTER
      (getting up from

                       WALTER
      (sttutering)

                       HAKEEM

                       WALTER

                       HAKEEM
      (laughing)
Stupid ass ivory. Just go out
there and deliver those pizza
before I can count to 3.
                                                            
 
INT. OHH LA LA PIZZA - DAY
                                                            
WALTER walks out of the room and HAKEEM follows him.Every
eye in the room is on WALTER when he enters. WALTER hears
conversation being held about him.
                                                            
                       WORKER 4
      (whispering)
Ohhh, there he comes. Do you think
boss hit him?
                                                            
                       WORKER 3
      (whispering)
No... I don't think he boss would
hit him, it against the law.
                                                            
                       WORKER 4
      (whispering)
What the goverment don't know
won't hurt them, and I wouldn't
put it pass him. Did you hear
about what he did, to the boy that
use to work here?
                                                            

6.

                       WORKER 3
      (whisperinig)
No he probably just got fired, he
is going to the back room.
                                                            
INT. OHH LA LA PIZZA/BACK ROOM - DAY
                                                            
WAlTER walks to the back of the room and collects the pizza
and takes out the transporter out from the cabinet. WORKER 3
walks into the room WALTER is in and approaches WALTER.
                                                            
                       WORKER 3
Hi Walter, is everything alright?
                                                            
                       WALTER
      (sighs)
I guess you can say that if you
want to.
                                                            
                       WORKER 3
What do you mean? Your mother is
out of the hospital right?
                                                            
WALTER closes the cabinet and leans his head on it
                                                            
                       WALTER
No, she is still in the hospital,
it's getting worse and wrose by
the minute.
                                                            
                       WORKER 3
The last time I talked to you, you
told me she was okay and she was
going to get discharged very soon.
                                                            
                       WALTER
      (emotional tone)
I thought that too. But things
didn't happen like I thought. The
real truth is that the hospital,
didn't want to treat her, because
she is ivory and that was the only
way they can get rid of her. But
come to find out matters was
serious than it was, so they ended
up not discharging her, even
though they are really not
helping. My mother is on her death
bed right now and I hope she makes
it.
                                                            

7.

                       WORKER 3
Well, I hope she does too. If you
need anything. Please do not
hesistate to ask. I don't have a
lot but, I'll do the best i can
do.
                                                            
WORKER 2 comes into the room, where WALTER and WORKER 3 are
standing. WALTER and WORKER 3 stops talikng as soon as
WORKER 2 comes in.
                                                            
                       WORKER 2
You have a phone call Walter.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Ohh really, who is it?
                                                            
                       WORKER 2
I think she said she was your
sister. She sounds very upset,
she's crying.
                                                            
WALTER quickly exits the room, while WORKER 2 and WORKER 3
follows behind him.
                                                            
INT. OHH LA LA PIZZA/ HALLWAY - DAY
                                                            
WALTER is on the pay phone in the hallway talking
                                                            
                       KATIE (o.s)
      (crying and
       speaking fast)
Walter, Walter, you have to come
down here and tell them to stop.
                                                            
                       WALTER
      (confused and
       flustered)
Come down where to tell who, what?
You know what katie I want you to
slow down and take a deep breath
then tell me what happened.
                                                            
                       KATIE (o.s)
      (sniffling and
       breathign heavily)
You have to come to the hospital
to tell the doctor, not to pull
the plug on mom.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Pull the plug... What do you mean
pull the plug?
                                                            

8.

                       KATIE (o.s)
They are going to kill mom. They
plan on unplugging the machine
she uses to breathe. They said she
is a waste of space and they have
important patients to take care of
and mom is taking up space.
                                                            
                       WALTER
      (angry)
What do they mean, she is taking
up space? We pay them to care of
her.
                                                            
                       KATIE (o.s)
Obviously not a enough. All I know
is you need to come here and try
and convince them.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Yea, but the only problem is that
I'm at work.
                                                            
                       KATIE (o.s)
So tell your boss, you have to
leave and that your mother is
dying. Or is he that
inconciderate, he won't let you
leave?
                                                            
                       WALTER
You don't even know the begining
of it.
                                                            
                       KATIE (o.s)
I don't even want to know the end.
So if he says no, just leave. It's
just a job, i mean don't tell me
you care more about your job than
our mother.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Katie I wish it was that easy. I
love mother with all my heart, is
just that if I just get up and
leave i'll probably get fired.
Then I won't have no money to take
of you and I. Plus I won't have
any money to pay mom's hospital
bill.
                                                            

9.

                       KATIE (o.s)
The way this is going you won't
have pay mom's hospital bill. I
know you're probably happy they
are trying to pull the plug,
because you're sick of payng the
bills.
                                                            
                       WALTER
No, katie I would never wish such
thing.
                                                            
                       KATIE
Yea right, I wouldn't put it past
you.
                                                            
The phone suddenly goes silent.
                                                            
                       WALTER
      (yelling)
katie, katie, katie
                                                            
We hear a dial tone from the phone. WALTER leans on the
walls and slid down to the floor slowly and gently and
letting the phone hang of hook. The camera focus on WALTER'S
face and we see a tear drop down WALTER'S face.
                                                            
 
EXT. MLK BOULEVARD - DAY
                                                            
WALTER appears in a neighborhood, with big houses, not
exactly mansions. The neighborhood has nicely mowed lawn,
nice cars parked in the drivewaysway. Every house had a nice
paint job, and some of them had pools in their yard. There
are kids on the street who are properly dress playing on
their front lawn.
                                                            
                       WALTER
      (looking up at the
       street sign)
MLK, MLK, why does this sound
familiar, but I have never been to
this neighborhood before. Oh shit,
Martin Luther KIng jr. boulevard.
this is an ebony neighborhood.
                                                            
WALTER starts walking up the street, admiring the big houses
in the neighborhood. People from the neighborhood, notice
WALTER in the neighbohood and starts going in their houses
and locks their doors.WALTER keeps looking for the house
while a COP car pulls up next to him.
                                                            

10.

                       COP
      (coughs)
What are you doing in this
neighborhood? You lost boy? I hope
you're not here to cause trouble
or steal?
                                                            
WALTER just put his face down not answering the COP's
answer.
                                                            
                       COP
You deaf boy, why ain't you
answering my question? I know I
ain't talking to statue, cause
they'll never put up an ivory
statue in this neighborhood. So
answer me boy.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Sorry sir, I didn't know you
wanted me to answer the questions.
                                                            
                       COP
Ohhh, so now I'm stupid. I don't
know what I want huh?
                                                            
                       WALTER
No sir, I never said you was
stupid. I don't think your stupid,
you're a very smart man sir.
                                                            
                       COP
Shut up, your talking to much now.
Just answer my question and stay
shut.
                                                            
                       WALTER
I'm here to deliver pizza to this
resident.
                                                            
WALTER reaches out the paper to the COP to look at it. The
COP looks at it, then returns it to WALTER.
                                                            
                       COP
The house you are looking for is
the thrid one after this house. I
want you to go straight there,
don't look back, cause when you
start looking back and around, you
make people feel uncomfortable and
then they call me. so you better
watch your back boy.
                                                            

11.

                       WALTER
thank you sir
                                                            
The COP car drives off while WALTER starts walking towards
the direction the COP gave him.
                                                            
                       WALTER (V.O)
      (sighed)
Whoa! That was close, thank god. I
hope I don't have to go through
anything like this again, at least
for today. I just hope, the house
I'm delivering this pizza to
dosen't think I'm trying to break
in on something, because that will
be another problem on my case.
                                                            
WALTER arrives at the big and luxirious house. WALTER
arrives at the house and stares at the huge black gate for
about two mintes before he presses the bell. When he presses
the bell a tube like object pops out of the wall and WALTER
stretches out his arm, to the tube like object. It picnhes
WALTERS arm and took some blood. A screen pops out of the
wall and there was a man on the screen.
                                                            
                       MAN ON SCREEN
I think you got the wrong address.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Isn't this 254 MLK boulevard?
                                                            
                       MAN ON SCREEN
Yes, it is how may I help what do
you want? Are you sure you're not
lost, whom are you looking for?
                                                            
                       WALTER
No sir, I'm not lost. I'm the
pizza delivery guy. I'm here to
deliver the pizza you ordered.
                                                            
                       MAN ON SCREEN
Since when did they start sending
ivories to deliver in this
neighborhood. What happened to
that young ebony, that delivers
for us here?
                                                            
                       WALTER
You mean Derrick, hes not on
today, this is my shift.
                                                            

12.

                       MAN ON SCREEN
Well make sure when you get back
you tell your damn manager, I
don't wnat no ivory delivering my
damn food.
                                                            
WALTER is stunned by the comment the guy just made, he drops
his head to ground and dosen't looks up.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Yes sir, but where do you want me
to put the pizza sir?
                                                            
                       MAN ON SCREEN
I ain't going to eat anything
that's been touched by an ivory.
Thats like me being a muslim and
eating pork. Now get on out of
here and never come back, before I
call the cops on you.
                                                            
                       WALTER
      (stuttering)
Ssssorry sir, it will never happen
again.
                                                            
WALTER turns around and runs presses the return button on
the transformer to return back to the pizza place.
                                                            
 
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY
                                                            
WALTER opens the door to the room in the hospital. WALTER
still has on his work uniform and a box of pizza from his
job. KATIE has her back facing WALTER when he walks in.
KATIE is packing the remainging thing that belongs to her
mother. KATIE dosen't notice WALTER has entered the room.
WALTER looks around the room as if he had lost something,
WALTER the goes up behind KATIE.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Where is mom?
                                                            
                       KATIE
Ooohhh, so now you care right?
                                                            
                       WALTER
What are you talking about? I have
alwyas cared about mom.
                                                            
                       KATIE
      (screaming)

            (MORE)

13.

                       KATIE (cont'd)
claim, you would have been here
when I told you to come.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Ahhh, Katie don't do this to me.
You know I tried my best to come,
but my manager said no. I can't
afford to loose my job.
                                                            
                       KATIE
But you can afford to loose your
mother. I hope you're happy now,
you get to keep your job, and your
mother is dead.
                                                            
WALTER drops the box of pizza on the floor and walks closer
to KATIE.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Mom is dead, they took out the
plug.
                                                            
KATIE shakes her head and grabs the bag with her things in
it off the bed and wipes the tear away from her eyes. KATIE
starts to walk towards the door, but WALTER grabbs her by
the hand.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Talk to me, you can't do this to
me.
                                                            
WALTER puts his hands in his pockets and pulled out a check.
WALTER points the check at KATIE, trying to show it to her.
                                                            
                       WALTER
KATIE believe me, I was trying to
come and pay for moms hospital
bill. I took out my life saving. I
know you know how long I've been
saving this money. I really was
trying.
                                                            
                       KATIE
And I'm sure you are happy now,
you can finally do as you planned
with your money...traitor. I hate
you and I never want to see you
again, forget you have a sister
living.
                                                            
KATIE snatches her arm away from WALTER and walks out the
door and slams the door. WALTER puts his hands on his head
and falls to floor with his hands on his head.

EXT. PORCH - NIGHT
                                                            
This neighborhood, is very poor and has an high rate in
violence. The houses on the street looks old and untaken
care off. WALTER walks to the front of his house dangling
his keys. When he got on his proch, you hear sirens in the
background. You see females derss like hookers on the street
and a drunk man collapse in front of WALTERS house. There is
grabage all over the street. The house looks like it has
been broken into. WALTER opens the door to his house and
enters.
                                                            
 
INT. WALTER'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
                                                            
WALTER walks into his apartment, where he has his bedroom in
the living room as well as the kitchen. WALTER walks to his
bed and drops on it, staring at the ceiling. The ceiling has
cracks in it and paint chipping from it.
                                                            
                       WALTER (v.o)
What am I to do now? In a matter
of one day I lost my mother and my
sister hates me. Whats is the
point of living now? I mean
everything I live for is gone. I
didn't want my mom to die, but I
didn't want to loose my job
either. God knows I tried my best.
                                                            
WALTER opens up his hand and there check was crumbled up.
WALTER trys to straighten it out the check and held it up
looking at it.
                                                            
                       WALTER
I have all this money, that I
saved up. What am I to do with it?
Should I go with my original plan
or should I just keep it for
rainy days, so I don't seem
selfish.
                                                            
 
INT. OFFICE - DAY
                                                            
WALTER is sitting on a table across from the PLASTIC
SURGEON, PLASTIC SURGEON is ebony and he is in a white lab
coat, he's in his mid forties.
                                                            
                       PLASTIC SURGEON
How can i help you?
                                                            

15.

                       WALTER
I want you to make make me black.
                                                            
PLASTIC SURGEON leans back in his chair and crosses his legs
and hands.
                                                            
                       PLASTIC SURGEON
First of all that is illegal and I
am a professional not some wanna
be surgeon of the street. So there
is no way I would put myself in a
situation as such to jeopardize my
life and get my licensed revoked.
Do you not know that is illegal? I
ought to call the cops on you.
Second of all, I am not a
betrayer. I'm not you, I stick by
my race and I won't go against my
believe. So if you like your self
I will advice you to leave my
office now before I have someone
do it for you.
                                                            
WALTER gets up from the chair and hurries out the room.
                                                            
 
EXT. SIDEWALK - DAY
                                                            
This neighborhood has a lot of tall fo building. It is in
downtown,it is a very busy neighborhood. You see a lot of
ebony people on their way to work, people are on cell phone,
people are dressed very well.
WALTER walks over to a fifty story builiding and pushes the
bell to aprtment 10012. A tube like object pops out the wall
and WALTER stretchs out his arm to the object. It pinchs
WALTER's arm and took some blood. A screen pops out of the
wall and all WALTER's information appears. WALTER has a
worry look on his face.
                                                            
 
INT. HALL WAY/ ELEVATOR - DAY
                                                            
WALTER walks into a tube like elevator to go the 20th floor
apartment 10012. The door slides open and there is man in
the apartment sitting on a couch.
                                                            
 
INT. APARTMENT / PARLOR - DAY
                                                            
LAMAR is a man sitting on a chair in the apartment. LAMAR is
and ebony man and has on a lab coat and a geeky looking
glasses. LAMAR has a cat sitting at the foot of his chair

16.

and in the background the t.v ws on. LAMAR is watching
malcom x. LAMAR spins his chair around and he was fondling a
pen he has in his hands.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
What do you want?
                                                            
                       WALTER
      (trembling)
I heard about a man who is able to
change your identity for a
reasnoable amount of money. Is he
here?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Yes, and that will be me. How can
I help you?
                                                            
WALTER takes of his glasses and starts cleaning it with the
flap of his shirt.
                                                            
                       WALTER
      (stuttering)
I wwwant you to make me an ebony
skin.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
      (emphasis in his
       voice)
You want me to make you an ebony
skin?
                                                            
LAMAR claps his hands together laughing and pushes himself
up from the chair, by using the arms of the chair.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
      (laughing)
You want to be ebony?
You want me to make you ebony?
                                                            
                       WALTER
I want to be of ebony race sir.
                                                            
LAMAR walks over to his computer screen and starts touching
the screen with his fingers. The screen constanyly changes.
LAMAR stops playing with his computer and turns his back to
WALTER.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
I can make you look ebony. But you
will never be ebony no matter how
hard you try.
                                                            

17.

LAMAR turns back around to face WALTER. The screen on the
t.v channges and the cat walks back to LAMAR's feet to sit.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
But there is just one problem. I
am expensive and looking at your
skin color. You probably don't
have a good enough career to
afford the large amount of money I
will charge you.
                                                            
                       WALTER
I have the money. I have been
saving for this process for a very
long time. Just name the amount.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
You would have to rob the bank, to
be able to afford me. With the
status you are in.
                                                            
                       WALTER
I can afford it. Don't use money
as an excuse. Don't turn me down
because of my race. I have been to
two other surgeons, who I was
told would be able to do it for
me. But they all turned me down
because of my race. Why should my
race matter to you, if I'm going
to pay you. I heard you weren't
certfied to do this anyway. So no
one will find out. So why can't
you just do it for me.
                                                            
LAMAR walks over to WALTER and gets in his face and jacks up
WALTER but lets him go 2 second later.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
      (clenched teeth)
The reason why I don't want to do
it for you is because, if I do it
I will loose my dignity. Then I
really won't be standing strong on
my belives. But only god knows
what you have on your mind. I will
do it for you, because I need the
money. And I don't want you
thinking I gave in because of the
little speech you gave me. It
didn't faze me at all.
                                                            

18.

                       WALTER
Thank you I really appreciate it.
I'll never-.
                                                            
LAMAR cut off WALTER before he was able finish what he has
to say.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Don't push it, because I control
my mind and will be able to change
it quick.
                                                            
LAMAR walks over to his computer, the cat follows and so
does WALTER.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
You know just because I changed
your skin color, it dosen't mean
all your problems are solved.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Problems like what? Health
problems, an early death,
infertility? What is it?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Well I won't really call it
infertility. You can have kids but
you have a 75% chance of them
coming out with your ivory traits.
                                                            
                       WALTER
What do you mean ivory traits? Are
they going to come out white?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Maybe, maybe not. If you marry an
ivory woman they will definetly
come out fully ivory. But if you
marry an ebony woman, they might
have ivory features.
                                                            
                       WALTER
You're still not telling me what I
want to hear. What do you mean by
ivory traits?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Well if you let me finish, maybe I
will get to it... Like I was
saying ivory traits like blonde
hair, or blue eyes or they might
come out really light almost
            (MORE)

                       LAMAR (cont'd)
white. That might have people
thinking. And you can't have
people thinking at all, because
this is illegal.
                                                            
                       WALTER
      (smiling)
Well, I do plan on marrying an
ebony woman to make her my Nubian
Queen.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Yea, but you want to be guranteed
your kids will come out fully
ebony not half and half.
                                                            
                       WALTER
So what can I do to prevent myself
from the misery and embarssment
that awaits me?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Well we can fix this problem by
going through a process call
invitro fertilization, then
genetically engineer the baby.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Whoa whoa! Lets slow here, shall
we? Genetic engineer, invirto
what? what are this things you're
talking about?
                                                            
LAMAR pulls out a chart from his wall with pictures of genes
and it has the process of invitro fertilization. LAMAR
pushes the button on his pen and it turns into a pointer.
LAMAR uses the pointer to point at the chart.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Alright butthead, genetic
engineering is a procees where you
get to choose the features and
basically make a baby perfect. We
also need to do invitro
fertlization which is basically
combining your sperm and her egg
together for it to fertlize. So
your wife can't get pregnant the
regular way.
                                                            
                       WALTER
So when do we do this process and
where do I go to do it?
                                                            

20.

                       LAMAR
Well you need a wife first. You
will probably have to come back to
me, because genetically
engineering your baby is illegal,
if it dosen't have an chance of
having an herideteary diease.
                                                            
LAMAR points at a picture of sperm and egg combining on the
chart. The chart changes and it was the picture of the sperm
and egg in a petri dish. The chart changes again and shows
the egg fertlized and LAMAR points out nucletutide sequence.
The chart changes and LAMAR points at the genetic material
that makes the skin color and it shows it exchanging it with
the ebony one.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Well, what will happen is when you
are ready to have kids, you come
back to me. When you come with
you wife, we extract sperm from
you and extract eggs from her and
keep it a p/tree dish. We will let
it comibine. Then it becomes
fertilize. We then look at the
nucleutide sequence. We take the
genitic material that makes the
skin ivory and replace it with an
ebony one.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Where do we get the ebony gentic
material from?
                                                            
LAMAR points back at the chart and it changes, it has a
picture of the egg slowly turning into clevage and then it
changes into a blastorsyst then the chart changes and theres
a doctor on the screen implating the bastorsyst into the
uterus of the female. LAMAR explains this while pointing at
the screen
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Would you let me finish? We can
take the DNA sample from your wife
and implant it. We then wait for
the egg to fertilize into
cleavage and then into a
blastorsyst. Thats when you come
back in so we can implant the
blastorsyst into the uterus of
your wife.
                                                            

21.

                       WALTER
Can you repeat all what you just
said in english please?
                                                            
LAMAR pulls the chart down and it goes up, LAMAR rolls his
eyes.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
      (muttered)
Imebecile
                                                            
LAMAR throws his hands up and waves WALTER off and turns
around.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
You know what when you are ready
to have kids just come to me. That
should be the least of your
worries right now.
                                                            
                       WALTER
But wait a minute, are we going to
tell my future wife what we are
going to do?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
      (sighs)
No you fool. We can't tell her,
because you don't know how she
might react. So will just have her
thinking shes coming in for a
check up or something.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Good idea.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Well you didn't come here for
that, did you? what do you really
want done specifically.
                                                            
                       WALTER
I want a new skin color, a new
name, a new identity. I no longer
want to be Walter Nelson. I want
to be a proud ebony man. I want a
new background and all.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Well I don't about a new
background. Because you can't have
the same family background and I
also don't know about you being a

22.

                       LAMAR (cont'd)
strong ebony man, cause you're
never going to be that in the
heart.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Why are youalways hanging that
over my head? Can't you just let
me enjoy that moment to myself?
                                                            
LAMAR gets up from his chair and walks over to the other
computer he has on the other side of the room and starts
touching the computer screen with his finger causing the
computer to scroll down.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Well let get started. We have to
mix a skin color for you. Do you
have any color in mind?
                                                            
                       WALTER
      (exicted)
Yea, I want a honey glazed dark
caramel color. Oh my god I have
been waiting for this moment all
my life.
                                                            
Lamar types something on the computer and a screen pops up
with diffrent skin colors.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Come over here, I need you to
stand in front of this screen so I
can scan your picture into the
computer. So we can pick a skin
that will look the best on you.
                                                            
A picture of WALTER pops up on the screen and LAMAR starts
touching diffrent skin color and it appears on WALTER's
picture on the screen, he reapeats that a couple of times,
till WALTER spots the color he wants.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
I don't think we need to replace
your eye balls, just tell people
they are contacts. As for your
name, do you have any in mind?
                                                            
                       WALTER
Well I always admired the actor
Omar Epps.
                                                            

23.

                       LAMAR
      (chuckling)
Your kidding me right, you want
your name to Omar Epps? Boy you
crack me up, don't you think thats
a little obvious.
                                                            
                       WALTER
No no, I want my first name to
Omar and my last name to be
Alston. Like Kerri Alston the
famous entrepenur.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Boy you have an imagination, how
old are you? two, or does all
ivroy thinks like you, or is it
just you?
                                                            
                       WALTER
No I just admire those two people,
thats all.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
      (saccarstic)
How old would you like to be Mr.
Omar Alston?
                                                            
                       WALTER
I would like to be 26 fresh out of
college.
                                                            
LAMAR gets up from his chair and press a button that turns
the wall sourrounding his apartment into to a lab.
                                                            
 
INT. APARTMENT / LAB - DAY
                                                            
LAMAR walks over to a fridge and opens it, he toook out a
tube with red liquid in then. Then, LAMAR takes a tube
with yellow liquid it in it and one with brown in it. LAMAR
brought it over to the counter. he mixes all the liquid
together to get all the color, he wants.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Lay on the bed over there so I can
connect the wires to your head.
                                                            
WALTER lays on the bed located in the room. LAMAR then walks
over to him, with an injection in his hands.
                                                            

24.

                       LAMAR
This is a skin dye, that I'll
inject into your skin. It
gradually turns your skin to your
desired color, it takes 24 for
hours for it to turn completely to
that color, but during that 24
hrs, you are suppose to aviod the
sun. So you can stay in my guest
room till you are ready.
                                                            
                       WALTER
So once you inject it into me, i'm
going to ebony for life?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
No you'll be ebony skin for about
three months, then it starts to
wear off. So you would have to
come back to me every three months
to get the dye injected into you.
                                                            
                       WALTER
So, I can do anything with this
skin and the dye won't wash off?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
You can scrub yourself to death if
want to, go into chlorine as much
as you want. If it has been in you
more than three months it dosen't
come off.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Why is this? I hope there is no
side effects to this process?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
      (serious)
Yea, you might experience nausea
and fainting spells.
                                                            
WALTER jumps of the chair in an instant.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Whoa whoa! You never told me about
no side effect. If I never asked
you would have never told me?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
      (laughing.)
Calm down, I'm just pulling your
legs, there is no side effect. The
            (MORE)

25.

                       LAMAR (cont'd)
reason it doesen't come off, is
beacuse it was injected into you,
and it had time to penetrate into
your body and skin. If it was
sparyed or rubbed on then it will
be a diffrent situation.
                                                            
                       WALTER
So you want me to come back at
exactly 3 months later. What
happens if I wait longer than
three months?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Well then your skin, starts to get
disolored. You'll have patches of
your regular skin and the dye one.
and it might lead to skin cancers
So you don't want to risk that.
                                                            
LAMAR walks over to computer and clicks on something that
makes the screen change and clicks ok. WALTER rubbs his
hands together.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Well lets get started.
                                                            
WALTER lays back on the bed while LAMAR put a mask with
anestetic gas to cover WALTER's nose and mouth. LAMAR walk
away from WALTER to the desk in the corner of the room.
LAMAR opens the drawers and pulls out a clipper and he
walks back to WALTER. When LAMAR got back WALTER was aleardy
sleeping. LAMAR stares of into space with the clippers in
his hands.
                                                            
                       LAMAR (V.O)
Am I doing the right thing? Will I
be judged because what i am about
to do? Everyone else turned him
down. I felt bad for him plus I
really need the money. But does
that make me weak? Does this mean
I'm lossing my dignity and
believe? I'm not even sure if this
is my own belive or what I'm told
to belive. I know what I'll do,
I'll do this for this probono, so
it won't be held over my head that
I sold out because of money. Plus
he'll need all the money he can
get to start his new life. I'm
also going to stay in touch, cause
I feel like he'll make a diffrent

LAMAR wakes up form his daydream.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
      (mutters)
I hope my instict are right.
                                                            
He put the clippers to WALTER's head and starts cutting his
hair. The clock on the wall said 4'o clock and then he
smears something onto WALTER's face. The clock shows 10'o
clock and WALTER wakes up. WALTER gets up from the chair and
walks around the room. WALTER then push the button he saw
LAMAR push earlier.
                                                            
 
INT. APARTMENT / PARLOR - DAY
                                                            
The light are off so WALTER can see where he is going.WALTER
feels around looking for the fridge, because he can hear his
stomache growling. He finds the fridge, opens it and finds a
sandwich. WALTER takes out the sanwhich and milk and closes
the fridge. WALTER puts the sandwhich and milk down on the
counter and it hits the counter real hard causing it to make
a clappping noise. which causes the light to turn on. WALTER
looks around and sees the cat still sitting at the window
side licking its paws, the t.v was still on.
WALTER pours himself some milk and sits on the table to eat.
LAMAR walks out the room and sits in the other chair near
WALTER.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Do you like the new you Omar?
                                                            
WALTER looks around the room and back at LAMAR.

                       LAMAR
You..idiot. you are truly a fool.
I don't think your skin color
means anything.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Hey hey watch how you talk to me.

                       WALTER
It's not coming off, it is
permanet. I'm ebony, thank you
lord.
                                                            
LAMAR is at the doorway leaning on the wall with his hands
folded.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Wash it as much as you want. Scrub
it as hard as you can, even bleach
it if you want, it stays that
color. Till after three months
that is.
                                                            
WALTER walks away from the sink towards the door, WALTER use
his hands to push LAMAR to the side and went through and
back to the livivng room and LAMAR follows.

28.

                       WALTER
Ohh sorry I got so happy, I forgot
to ask you how much I owe. Who do
you want me to make the check out
to?
                                                            
LMAMR stands before WALTER and folds his arms across his
chest and looks and smiles
                                                            
                       WALTER
Look at me just babbling on and
on. I don't evevn know if you want
cash or check, because if you want
cash I can always run to the bank
and get the money. That is no
problem.
                                                            
WALTER picks up the mirror looks in it and then put it back
on the table.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
It would be impossible for you to
go and cash your check, because
you are no longer Walter and the
face you have is diffrent from the
face you have on your i.d.
                                                            
                       WALTER
Oh yea, I totally forgot about
that. But I can always write the
check to you and you can cash all
the money. But how much do I owe
you again?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
You don't owe me nothing, but
making sure you do something
positive with what I just did for
you.
                                                            
                       WALTER
What do you mean I don't owe you
anything?
                                                            
                       WALTER
You owe me nothing, zilch, nada,
zero. Hey look at it like this,
this is the luxury that comes
along with having skin color like
this.
                                                            
WALTER coughs and rubs his head.
                                                            

29.

                       LAMAR
I decided to do this for you
probono, because I thought about
doing it wouldn't make me loose my
dignity. Doing it for the money
would make loose my dignity, even
though times are hard for me now.
But I know I'm doing the right
thing. I have the feeling that
you have the power to be a
potential leader.
                                                            
WALTER wipes the tear drop from his face and laughs.
                                                            
                       WALTER
That is nicest thing someone has
ever said to me before in my life.
I really appreciate you for
opening up your heart for me. But
I'll make sure I won't dissapoint
you. I will strive my hardest. But
I will repay as soon as I can.
                                                            
LAMAR gets up and walks up to table where his computer is
and takes the passport that lays on the table. LAMAR brought
it back to where WALTER is sitting and hands it to WALTER.
                                                            
                       WALTER
      (looking down at
       the passport)
What is this?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Sometimes I think you ask to much
question, just open it.
                                                            
WALTER laughs and opens, the passport, in it he finds a
picture of the new improved him and it says his name is
OMAR ALSTON and age 26. WALTER looks up and turns to LAMAR.
LAMAR smils at him. WALTER gets up from his seat and
appreoachs LAMAR and gives him a hug. (WALTER becomes OMAR)
                                                            
                       OMAR
Trust me you won't regret this,
I'll make sure I keep in touch
with you and all.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
      (chuckled)
Hmm..I hope not. So what do you
plan on doing first with your new
look?

WAITRESS.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Excuse me. What did you just say,
what did I do to you?
                                                            
WAITRESS leaps forward with fear in her eyes thinking OMAR
over heard her little comment.
                                                            
                       WAITRESS
No sir I wasn't talking to you. I
was just talking to myself.
                                                            
The HOST of the resturant walks toward OMAR and touches his
arm.

I am always on task with my job. I
never let personal problems get
between me and my job. If I did

office that day as long as I need
to to get the job done.
                                                            
                       MR. CHESTNUT
      (laughing)
Thats a good thing to know and
thats exactly what we can use in
this company, dedicated people.

                       LAMAR
Why?
                                                            
                       OMAR
I don't think we should go out to
celebrate this job. I feel weird,
becuase I went there once when I
was still walter to get a job and
he treated me like dirt and now he
treats me as if i'm a god. I don't
think I want to work with someone
like his such.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Don't even worry about that, that
was then and this now. You should
just leave everything from the
past in the past and start a fresh

Ohh, that is my song, why don't
you take a seat over there at the
bar. I have to dance to this song
or I'll be angry the whole night,

OMAR truns to her and extends his hands for an handshake
                                                            
                       OMAR
Walter
                                                            
                       RHONDA
Hi Walter
                                                            
OMAR turns his head trying to ignore her and trys not to
look at RHONDA.
                                                            

47.

                       RHONDA
Don't try to ignore me, I saw you
staring at me. So don't even try
to play that game with me.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
      (laughing)
You caught me, I was trying to be
smooth with it, but I guess I'm
not smooth enough for you. Excuse
my rudeness for staring at you.
You are just so beautiful I can't
keep my eyes of you.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
      (chuckles)
Wow? I never heard that one
before, but thank you.
                                                            
RHONDA turns her head away from OMAR.
                                                            
                       OMAR
I'm sorry if I offended you, I
didn't mean too.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
I know you didn't, thanks for the
compliment again.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Would you like a drink? My treat.
you can celebrate with me.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
If I may ask, what are you
celebrating?
                                                            
                       OMAR
My new job.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
Oh yea! Where did you land this
job that is worth celebrating?
                                                            
                       OMAR

coooperation.

INT. OMAR'S NEW APARTMENT - DAY
                                                            
Maidbot enters through the door bringing in a box that has
OMAR things in it, the maidbot drops it on the floor. Then
LAMAR comes through the door struggling to carry something
and OMAR was on the other end struggling to carry the other
end of the box. They finally get it in the house and place
it down. LAMAR and OMAR looks up with their hands on their
hip. The aprtment was dressed very nicely, with nice
furniture and painting on the wall. The maidbot brings in a
drink to both LAMAR and OMAR, they take out of the maidbots
hands. Taking a sip out their drinks.
                                                            
                       OMAR
I would have never thought that
me, myself and I would ever have
an aprtment looking like this.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Well belive it or not, its all
yours. You worked really hard for
this, you've worked your way all
the way to the top.
                                                            
                       OMAR
You know sometimes I think and I
feel like I betrayed my race. I
mean I think about my sister and
how I can help her, but she
wouldn't trust me cause she hates
ebony's with all her heart. I
don't know sometimes I just feel
like a punk, I feel like now that
I have acomplished this, I should
do something to help my people...
there has to be something, should
I dontate money or something.
                                                            

49.

                       LAMAR
You could donate money, but how
would that really help them? I
mean, that money will always
finish and not of them all might
get it. You should do something
that you would be remebered for.
Something that would help your old
community and something your
sister can benefit from.
                                                            
                       OMAR
What is that? It against the law
to talk to an ivory or help them
and you know that.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Yea I know and I what I did for
you is illegal too, but nothing
stopped me. You know what I am
think of starting an escape route
for the ivories.
                                                            
                       OMAR
An escape route? That is kind of
risky don't you think? How do you
plan on getting the word out. An
escape route to where? The whole
America is racist against ivory.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Yea, I know. But I was doing my
research and I found out that
there is a planet called planet
ivory. Where it is only for
ivories. I mean it can't get no
better.
                                                            
                       OMAR
When did you start doing all this
research? I mean it seems like you
have been thinking for a very long
time.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
It's been a while, lets just say a
certain friend changed my
prespective on ivories, thank you.
                                                            
                       OMAR
      (smiling)
Ok, so you want to start something
like the underground railroad?
                                                            

50.

                       LAMAR
Yea, but I'm not going to call it
that, because it would be to
obvious. I was thinking about
"skedaddle". But I can't do this
by myself I would you're help and
a lot of help.
                                                            
                       OMAR
No problem, what are friends for?
                                                            
OMAR takes a look down at the watch on his wrist and notices
he only had 1 hr to get ready for his date with RHONDA.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Oh shit! I have to get going,
today is the date. I'm finally
going to pop the question. Rhonda
and I has been going steady for
about 7 months now and i feel it
right. I feel shes the one, the
woman I want to spend the rest of
my life with.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Alright lover boy, I suggest you
hit the shower so you don't miss
that special woman of your life
after she disses you for being
smelly.
                                                            
                       OMAR
See, now your talking reckless.
But I have to hit the showers now.
I'll talk to you later.
                                                            
OMAR walks away from LAMAR into anohter room in his house.

                       RHONDA
You want to talk about it?
                                                            
                       OMAR
No not at all. This night is
supposed to be a special night?
                                                            
OMAR took RHONDA's hand and fondles it.
                                                            
                       OMAR
You mean the world to me.No one
else has ever meant as much to me
as you. Good times and bad times.
For as long as we both live.
Without you, my life is
incomplete.
I am missing something when you
are not with me. I think of you
night and day. I miss you when we
are apart. Come grow old with me.
                                                            
RHONDA takes OMAR's hands and caress it.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
I love you baby.

I love Omar to death, but I don't
know if he will still love me or
want to marry me when he finds out
the truth about me. i'm just going
to have to tell him the truth. If
he really loves me he will stay
with me and if he leaves I guess
it was never meant to be.
                                                            
RHONDA shrugs her shoulder, wipes the tears away from her
face and reapply her make up. She looks in the mirror one

                       RHONDA
      (trembling)

I mean how serious can it be, as
far you are not a transvstie,
nothing should be the problem. I
love you and nothing can ever
change that. That's why I want you

OMAR cuts RHONDA off rudely.
                                                            
                       OMAR

there for you.
                                                            
                       RHONDA

won't be able to keep.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Baby I hate to say, but I hate the
suspense you are keeping me in.
Can you just tell, even though I'm
still going to love you as much as
I did before you tell me whatever

                       OMAR
So will you marry me?
                                                            
                       RHONDA

poem you read to me again.
                                                            
OMAR laughs and gets up. OMAR gets on one kenee, while
RHONDA crosses her legs holding out her hands. Now eevryones
eye is on them once again. OMAR takes her hand and picks out
her ring finger and put the ring at the tip of her finger.
                                                            
                       OMAR
You mean the world to me. No one
else has ever meant as much to me
as you. Good times and bad times.
For as long as we both live.
Without you, my life is
incomplete.
I am missing something when you

genetic engineering and a
brilliant proccess call invitro
fertlization.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
Oohh, I heard of that, isn't that
the process, where they take sperm
from you and egg from me and
combine so it can fertlize. Then

i met a guy who was once ivory,
but he came to me and begged me to
change him to ebony. As you all
know that is illegal so I won't be
able to make all of you ebony.
That's why I came up with
skedaddle. I have come with an
escape route out of this planet to
Planet Ivory. I have a friend of

                       OMAR
Hi guys, my story started when my
mother died, and my sister blamed
me for it. She told me she hated
me and never wanted to see me
again in her life. I was so sick
of life that I started thinking of
comitting suicide, but then it hit
me, I decided to change my
identity. I wanted to start my
life all over again. I mean there
was no point of me living. I
didn't have a family and my only
sister had disown me. I came to
this man, who is now my best
friend and he helped me when I
most needed it and I love him for
that. I landed a job in the
maidbot company and I'm engaged
now. But I agreed to do this with
him, because I had felt like I
betrayed my race. I wasn't man
eneough to go through the
obstacles life was throwing at me.
So I decided to help other who
can't take the risk I took to help
them escape to another Planet
where our type is welcome. Thank
you.

relationships - the union between
man and woman, which we call
marriage.

As we join together Omar and
Rhonda in this marriage, let us
search our hearts for the wisdom
of this covenant, which has from
ancient times been expressed with
those ideas that come from the
heart. Ideas like love, loyalty,
trust, fidelity, and forgiveness.
Let us also decide to share our
knowledge of these things with
them as they start this journey
together.

Into this estate these two people
come now to be joined. If any of
you can show just cause why they
may not be lawfully married, speak
now or forever hold your peace!

from that finger goes directly to

they are symbols which speak of
the love that you have for each
other.

OMAR lifts RHONDA up and twirls her around.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Yes I knew god would give me what
I wanted.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
Ohh, please so you mean to tell me
if it was a girl you wouldn't want
her or love her as much as you
would love a baby boy.
                                                            
                       OMAR
No, it dosen't matter what I have
I will still love them equally,
you know I am not like that. It's
just that I would prefer a boy
more.
                                                            
OMAR put RHONDA down and they both stare at the
charasteristic check of the baby.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Baby, he has your skin color.

INT. HOSPITAL/ DOCTOR OFFICE - DAY
                                                            
ROHNDA is sitting in a chair at the doctor's office, waiting
for the DOCTOR to come in to give her the result to her
test. The DOCTOR walks in with some papers in his hands and
sits down on his chair facing RHONDA.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR
Sorry for the delay, we had to
double check something.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
Oh, no problem you was just doing
your job.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR
Your baby is fine and healthy, but
there is on problem.
                                                            
RHONDA wiggles in her seat and sit up leaning forward to the
DOCTOR.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
Well if there nothing wrong with
my baby, what can the problem be?
I mean I'm prefectly fine, there
is nothing wrong with me.
                                                            
The DOCTOR looks at RHONDA with a sympathetic look.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
I am perfectly fine right?
                                                            

69.

                       DOCTOR
Well not exactly. We found
something in you.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
You found something in me? You are
talking about me like I'm some
kind of lab rat.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
      (raising voice)
Would you please tell me what you
found in me?
                                                            
                       DOCTOR
Well we found in you, a diease,
called sacstroker.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
Well can it be fixed?
                                                            
                       DOCTOR
It can and it can't, becuase this
diease is hardly found on earth.
We don't have the cure to it.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
Wait a minute. First of all, is
this diease deadly? Please don't
lie to me.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR
Well it can be deadly, but your
case is not serious at least yet.
There is a cure to the diease, but
its on another planet.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
So why can't you just send for it
at another planet, I'll pay for
it.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR
That's the hard part. The cure to
the diease is on Planet Ivory
                                                            
RHONDA drops her head, and when she raises it back up she
has tears in her eyes.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
      (sniffling)
To be correct, isn't that the
white only planet?
                                                            

70.

                       DOCTOR
      (knods head)
Yea, only whites are allowed on
it.
                                                            
RHONDA drops her head and starts crying.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
I keep up with all my appointments
and out of all of them they never
noticed this, till it got this
worse.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR
I'm very sorrry ma'm. But don't
worry it is not a big problem.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
      (yelling)
What do you mean, don't worry? You
said this dieases is deadly. If
its not getting treated how do you
know it won't get worse and then
I'll eevntually die. I don't want
to count my days left to live.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR
You can't really blame this on us,
because this an ivory diease, only
ivory gets it. We don't know how
you got it.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
yea, so what are you trying to
say? I am ivory.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR
No what I am saying is, maybe
some where in your family tree
you have ivory in you and you
inherited it from one your family
traits.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
I hope you know you are insulting
me right. What are yout trying to
say, I don't know my background
and then you call me ivory? Do you
see my skin color, does it look
like I can pass for an ivory?
                                                            
RHONDA pushes her chair back and gets up she storms towards
the door, opens it and looks back at the DOCTOR.
                                                            

71.

                       RHONDA
ohh... I'll make sure I shut you
down. take my words for it and
that is threat.
                                                            
RHONDA slams the door behind her and walks out the door with
her purse clutched under her and crying.

would have thought I would have
made it this far though or this
big. Isn't that something?
                                                            
                       LAMAR (o.s)
Yeah, but you know what, I would
have to ask Rhonda to go with me
to go pick out the ring for

                       RHONDA

No I'm not okay.
                                                            
                       OMAR

73.

OMAR clicks the flash btton on his phone and it clickes to
the line LAMAR is on.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Sorry, I had you on hold. Rhonda

OMAR looks down at his phone and click to the other where

                       OMAR
Baby I'm back, what's wrong? Why

                       RHONDA
      (crying)
Baby, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I

                       RHONDA
      (sobbing)
Baby I'm dying. I'm going to die
very soon.
                                                            
There is long silence pause. You hear nothing but RHONDA's
sniffles.
                                                            

74.

                       OMAR
      (voice cracking)
What are you talking about? you're
not going to die, not ever, well

                       RHONDA
Yes, I am don't try to make me

and kill me now.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Wait a minute. So, who told you

                       RHONDA
I went to the doctor, today for my
weekly checkup . All of a sudden
they find a dieases in me that's
hasen't been there all my life.
Come to find out I have a dieases
called sacstroker.
                                                            
                       OMAR
      (puzzled)
What is scastroker? Is that even a
diease? I swear I never heard it
before.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
Yea, its a diease only ivory
people get. I don't know how I got
it, cause I'm not ivory. Then the
doctor trys to tell maybe I have
ivory in my family somewhere along
the line. You know whathe did to
me, by saying that? He insulted
me.
                                                            
OMAR's eyes grows largers and he wiggles in his his seat.
OMAR
unlosses his ties a little bit.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Is it a transmittable or diesase?
I mean did you get it from
someone?
                                                            
                       RHONDA
No! It's part of my traits. some
where along the line, back to the
time of my fofathers. I guess I
have ivory in me.
                                                            

75.

OMAR sighs and relaxes in his chair laid back.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Calm down, so he told you you're
dying. Isn't there a cure for this
diease?
                                                            
                       RHONDA
Yea there is, but its only on
Planet Ivory. which ebony people
are not allowed in. Which means
I'm going to gradually die.
                                                            
RHONDA starts crying, she coughs. OMAAR breaks out crying
too.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Don't worry baby. You won't die,
we will find a way and trust me
there is always away.
                                                            
OMAr wipes the tear away from his face.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
Are you sure, I'm not going to
die?
                                                            
                       OMAR
I'm positive, we will find a way.
So why don't you take a nice hot
shower, stop crying, don't think
about this situation. Take a nap
or go shopping with your frinds.
My treat!
                                                            
                       RHONDA
No, I can't shop with this hanging
over my head. Just make sure you
come home as soon as possible
baby. I need you by my side right
now.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Yup, I'll be home right after
work.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
Alright baby, I love you.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Love you to baby, bye now.
                                                            

76.

OMAR hangs up the phone, he gets up form his chair and
stares out the window.
                                                            
                       OMAR (v.o)
      (sighs)
It is really true I can't run away
from my problems. I finally have
the perfect life that I always
wanted. I mean I'm ebony, I have a
beautiful wife, a good job, a
house , a baby on the way and a
best friend that made me who I am
today. wow. What am I to do now?
There must be a way.
                                                            
OMAR thoughts get distracted, when the phone to his office
rings, he walks over to pick it up, thinking it was RHONDA
calling back. OMAR looks down at the screen of the phone and
sees LAMAR's facing popping up on the screen. OMAR picks up
the phone.
                                                            
                       OMAR

                       LAMAR

                       OMAR

                       LAMAR

and LAMAR laughing and on the other side of their table,
their is couple drinking wine together.
                                                            
                       WAITER

                       LAMAR

side.
                                                            
                       WAITER
And you sir, what will you be
having today sir?
                                                            
                       OMAR
Can I have a pear salad please?
                                                            
The WAITER scribbles down their order down on paper and
turns to leave. OMAR takes drink out of his cup of water.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Since when did you start eating
salad? This is your favorite
resturant and you are ordering a
pear salad. Is there something
wrong with you?
                                                            
                       OMAR
There is nothing wrong, I'm just
not hungry, that's all.
                                                            
LAMAR gives OMAR a look of doubt.
                                                            

78.

                       LAMAR
Well then if you say so. Is Rhonda
alright? Why was she upset when
she called?
                                                            
OMAR picks up his glass of water and starts drinking. He
waves his hands to LAMAR telling him it was nothing serious.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Are you sure? Because Rhonda is
never upset, and the rate you hung
up on me it seems like there was
something wrong.
                                                            
OMAR looks away and pick up his glass of water to drink but
realized it was empty. OMAR put it down and sighs.
                                                            
                       OMAR
No there is nothing wrong.
everything is okay. Where is this
waiter at with our food. I'm
really hungry.
                                                            
OMAR looks into the crowd in search of the waiter, while
LAMAR leans into OMAR.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
I thought you wasn't hungry. There
must be something wrong? But it
hurts me you can confide in me
when you have a problem. you and I
have known each other for a really
long time. I hold in me some of
your deepest scerets and you still
can't confide in me. Now thats a
damn shame.
                                                            
OMAR brings his attention back to LAMAR and looks LAMAR dead
in the eyes.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Well Rhonda went in for her weekly
check up, because she starting to
get real heavy now. The doctor
found something in her.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
      (looking confused)
What do you mean, they found
something in her? I would hope
they found something in her. A
baby right... wait a minute please
don't tell me the procedure didn't

                       LAMAR (cont'd)
work, and the characterristic
check shows the baby came out with
ivory features.
                                                            
                       OMAR
No no, calm down, you are even
more worse than me. They found a
diease in her called sacstroker.
They said she must have inherited
down the line from her family.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Sacsroker, that's an ivory diease,
that is impossible. Rhonda is
ebony.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Yea, she is. That is why it got me
wondering. I thought I gave it to
her, but that is impossible. The
cure for the diease is on planet
ivory. So it would be a problem
for us to get the cure.
                                                            
The WAITER comes over to their table and drops off the food
for them. As soon as he leaves LAMAR leans in the table to
get closer to OMAR.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Why should it be a problem? You
forgtot we have have "skedaddle".
but it won't be suprise if you
did. You haven't been to the
meeting in a long time.
                                                            
                       OMAR
So what are you saying? We get one
of our memebers to go on planet
ivory, to get the cure and return
it back to us.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
That was so selfish. What happens
if they get caught on their way
back? what I had in mind is
letting your dye wear off, so you
can go out to planet ivory
yourself and handle things.
                                                            
                       OMAR
You must be out your damn mind.
There is no way on earth am i
taking a risk that big. What
            (MORE)

80.

                       OMAR (cont'd)
happens if I get caught?
Everything I ever worked for is
gone and I'll be exposed. Nope
sorry, not going to happen I can't
deal with that embarassment.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
I can't believe this is coming out
of your mouth. You can't take a
risk to save the woman you love.
That is very bad of you.
                                                            
                       OMAR
If I get exposed, Rhonda will
leave me. It against the law to
marry interracial did you forget?
Why do this if I can just pay
someone to do it for me?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
If Rhonda loves you like she so
call claims to. She won't leave
you When your trying to help her.
when did you become so selfish? If
worse comes to worse you can
always move Planet Ivory.
                                                            
                       OMAR
I can't live with ivories. They
have no dreams. They are not
strong and can't stand up for
themselves. I'm so much better
than them.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
What are you? You must be livng
with some kind of guilt in you,
because for some odd reason you
forgot you are ivory. I mean you
can't alwyas run away from your
problem. Don't make me regret
having made you ebony.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Why not run away from it? Where
there is a way there is a will.
Don't beat yourself up for making
me ebony. I mean you was just
doing your job right. Its too
late now to try and change your
mind.
                                                            

81.

                       LAMAR
Do you think my our forefathers
got away from the discrimination
during their time? No, they had to
go through with it. Do you think
it was fair for you to be able to
run away from you problem, just by
doing a simple process? I mean
live life a little bit, take some
chances.
                                                            
                       OMAR
      (anger in his
       voice)
What are you trying to say?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
What I'm trying to say is that
take a risk. I mean if I didn't
take a risk do you think you would
be where you are at right now?
                                                            
                       OMAR
It's no that easy. I would be
loosing my integrity and going
against my words and people. I
would be going against my ebony
beliefs.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
You forgot one thing, you're not
ebony. I want you to remeber that
I did something for you that
didn't go along with the rules of
society and did I create a
monster?Do what you want, she's
your wife.
                                                            
LAMAR looks in his wallet drops enough money on the table
for the waiter. LAMAR pushs is non touched plate of food
away from him and gets up from his chair and leaves the
resturant. OMAR sits at the resturant alone just staring
into space.

                       RHONDA
Hmmm, what am I to do. If I tell
OMAR, would he still love me for
who I am? What will he think of
me? Is he going to leave me now?
Especially when I need him the
most. Should I just tell him or
should I just keep it to myself.

Excuse me ma'm. I need to ask you
a question.

paying a great amount of money to
this hospital to be treated right.
So if you don't attend to me I
will gladly like to see the person
in charge and make sure you get
fired.
                                                            
The NURSE gets up slowly and hesitating
                                                            
                       OMAR
      (loud)
Who the hell do you think you are
talking to like that? I don't care
how much money you are paying to
the hospital. The law still
doesen't give an ivory the right
to talk an ebony like that.
Instead of me getting fired I'll
make sure your get .

                       OMAR
      (firm voice)
No matter what skin color the
person is, you should always
attend to them as soon as
possible, because they pay for
your service and they might need
you for critical reason.
                                                            
                       NURSE
      (fidgeting)
Yes, I'm very sorry. I just got
carried away little thats all. We
never get an ebony patient in the
aspect of this hospital.
                                                            
                       OMAR
That is the list of my worries
right now. Why is my wife in a
room like that? I know you have
better rooms than that in here,
because I have been in one like
that.
                                                            
                       NURSE
Sorry sir, it must have been a
mistake. What room is your wife

There must be a misunderstanding,
my wife is ebony. What are you
talking about?
                                                            
                       NURSE
Sorry sir, there is nothing I can
do about the room situation. I
have to follow orders as given,
but I can find a doctor to
explain what's going on to you.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Would you please? I would really

                       OMAR
No, no no! Stop telling me my wife

                       DOCTOR (cont'd)

identity changed, that made her
ebony.
                                                            
OMAR looks at the DOCTOR with a serious look and points at
him with his fingers in the DOCTORS face.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Tust me when I tell you my wife is

                       DOCTOR
The blood test never lies. The
only reason we are stil attending
to your wife is because of you.
She has a ivory only diease and
there nothing we can really do to
help her.
                                                            
OMAR goes up to the DOCTOR and holds on to him.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR
I am begging you plpeas don't let
my wife die it don't matter the

The DOCTOR looks at OMAR with a sympathetic look in his
face.
                                                            
                       DOCTOR
I will see what I can do. I can
only do it for a matter of time.

ballon in his hands. LAMAR sets it down on a table and looks
around the room with a lost face expression.

                       LAMAR
You are kidding me right?
                                                            
                       OMAR
No, why would I play around with
something like that? This is not
a matter to be played around with.
I'm dead serious.
                                                            
LAMAR sits at the edge of the bed.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
What would make them say that?
                                                            
                       OMAR
They claim she got an identity
change or something like that.
                                                            
LAMAR's eyes grew larger and he leaned toward omar
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Are you serious? Did Rhonda ever
tell you about it?
                                                            
                       OMAR
About what? Something that isn't
true is that it? please don't tell
me you belive them. Do you?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
No I don't belive them. I just
thought it would kind of ironic.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Oh really, what is my life a book
now?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Damn man, calm down. It was just a
joke.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Well I have other things in my
mind other laughing.

picks up her report in the the liitle pouch they put it in
at the edge of the bed and start to looks at it.
                                                            
                       LAMAR

                       OMAR
Yea, and I can't afford to loose
my baby either.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
You know what? I came up with
another idea.
                                                            
                       OMAR
What is it?
                                                            
LAMAR sits back at the edge of the bed and leans in very
close to OMAR.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
I have found someone that would
risk their life for you, by going
to Planet Ivory to get the cure
and bring it back.
                                                            
OMAR sits up straight in his chair and plays with his
goatee.
                                                            
                       OMAR
First of all I want to apologize
for my behavior the other day. I
mean you did a good thing for and
I misused it and I hope you can
forgive me. But who has agreed to
do it for me. Do I know this
person?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Yes you do know this person. You
haven't talked to her in a while.
But she loves you and wants to
help you.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Who can it be? I don't know any
woman who loves me but rhonda...
wait a minute please don't tell
its Erika because I want nothing
to do with her.
                                                            

91.

                       LAMAR
No its not erika, she is ebony,
you need and ivory person.
                                                            
LAMAR gets up from where he is sitting and walks toward the
door, he opens it a little bit and made a motion with hand
for someone to come. LAMAR stretches his hand out the door.
OMAR is sitting in his seat anticipating and wanting to
know, who it was. LAMAR starts walking back to OMAR with
his hand still grabbing onto KATIE and KATIE enters the room
right after LAMAR.
                                                            
                       OMAR
katie?
                                                            
KATIE stands at the door, looking at OMAR with tears in her
eyes. OMAR gets up an walks towards her and gives her a big
hug.
                                                            
 
INT. LAMAR'S CAR - DAY
                                                            
LAMAR is driving the car, while KATIE is changing the radio
station for the back of the car. KATIE stops playing with
the radio and looks out the window. OMAR is sitting next to
LAMAR.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Are you sure you want to do this?
I don't want you to this because
you trying to it because you feel
sorry or guilty about what
happended with mom. I mean I will
forgive no matter cause I'll
always love you.
                                                            
                       KATIE
No I don't feel guilty, I just
choose to do it because you got so
much going on for you. I don't
have anything or anyone in my
life. So why not help someone who
needs it?
                                                            
                       OMAR
I'll help you and you have me to
live for. So don't even worry
about it.
                                                            

92.

                       KATIE
well how exactly am I suppose to
get the cure for this? I mean I
don't know anything or anyone
there.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
I have someone who you will meet
up with there and will give you
all the neccesary. It against the
law, for you to travel out there
you need a lot of of money. So
they check your work status to see
if you can afford it. Then they
let you go but they give you a
certain amount of time to stay
there, meaning you have to
comeback and if you don't. Trust
me they will come looking for you.
                                                            
                       KATIE
You know a lot of people dosen't
know about this planet? becuase if
we did, we wouldn't still be here.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Yea I know, thats why I started
skedaddle, because they know that
is where your freedom is. So they
don't want ivories to know,
because then they will all flea
there and if they do. Who is going
have to the dirty job?
                                                            
                       KATIE
I just don't understand why can't
they let the maidbots do it. They
cherish them more than do us
anyways.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Plus if they cherish the maidbot
and hate your people. Why would
they make something they love do
the dirty job?
                                                            
                       KATIE
This is just not fair.
                                                            

93.

                       LAMAR
Nothing is fair, and they have
manipulated people with their
little phrase. What goes around
comes around.
                                                            
                       KATIE
what is that suppose to mean?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Something about your forefathers
did this our forefathers. So now
it is time for revenge, so we are
doing it to you now. Well I'm not
a part of this movement.
                                                            
                       KATIE
How far long ago was that though?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
Very long ago. Hey what can I say
you should have never mad an ebony
man president. Once we get that
chance we are going to take
advantage of it...but anyways we
need this done by this week.
                                                            
                       KATIE
Yea I understand what you're
saying. But I want you think
about, we had the power, we made
an ebony man win. All because we
wanted to make the world a better
plave. We gave you the chance and
you misused it. We were trying to
stop what you are doing. We tried
to put the past in the past and
make everything even. We was
thinking all about forgiving and
forgetting. But I mean how can you
forgive what you can't forget?
                                                            
LAMAR pulls his car up to the sidewalk and KATIE gets out.
KATIE stands out the car and waves tot hem till LAMAr pulls
off.
                                                            
                       OMAR
But is that really how you feel?
What goes around comes around.
                                                            
                       LAMAR
karma! But that is not the case
right now. We need to move, Rhonda
            (MORE)

94.

                       LAMAR (cont'd)
out of that hospital or else we
won't be able to get anything
done.
                                                            
                       OMAR
Yea the doctor, said he can only
keep her for so long, and its been
going on 2 weeks now. So we have
no choice but to have to move her.
But where too?
                                                            
                       LAMAR
I'll get her a room at my
hospital. No one would know what
the problem is and I'll be her
only doctor too.

                       OMAR
Speaking of the devil, she's on my

OMAR picks up the phone.
                                                            
                       OMAR

                       RHONDA
Hey, babe I don't think you should
sue the hospital. I mean we should

don't feel like going through all
that process.
                                                            
                       OMAR

on sueing them.

                       OMAR
You know I'm thinking about sueing
the hospital right? Have you seen
the bills they sent me? It is
ridiculous for the kind of service

OMAR gets up form his chair and starts going through the

96.

paper on his desk looking for the bill from the hospital.
OMAR finds the envelope and hands it to LAMAR. LAMAR opens
the envelope and looks through it.

or something.
                                                            
                       BARRISTER BRYAN GOMES
Are you sure you didn't make a
mistake?
                                                            
                       DOCTOR
Not all, we never make mistakes.
Plus, the diease she has is an
ivory diease.
                                                            
OMAR looks at RHONDA, who acts as if, nothing was wrong and
takes a drink from her water.
                                                            
                       BARRISTER BRYAN GOMES
That would be all your honor.
                                                            
DOCTOR gets up from his seat and retrns to his normal seat.
                                                            
                       BARRISTER BRYAN GOMES
I would like to call on my next
witness, Mrs Rhonda Alston.
                                                            
RHONDA gets up from her seat and takes a seat at the booth.
                                                            
                       BARRISTER BRYAN GOMES
Mrs. Rhonda with all the
accusation put forward about you
today on you being ivory what do
you have to say?
                                                            
RHONDA wipes the tear off her face.

OMAR looks toward RHONDA and their eyes met.
                                                            
                       BARRISTER BRYAN GOMES
So you agree with them? Do you
care to explain why?
                                                            

102.

RHONDA and OMAR keeps looking at each other not taking their
eyes of themselves.
                                                            
                       RHONDA
      (slowly)
When I was just a baby, my ivory
mother used to work for this
ebony family. The Williams , who
are now call my parents. They
loved my mother to death, bought
me things my mother couldn't
afford, accomodate my mother and
paid my mother good. So when, my
mother died of the same diease I
have now.
                                                            
RHONDA voice is fading now and going into a flash back of
when she was little. You hear a voice of a female and a male
having a conversation.
                                                            
 
INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY
                                                            
There is male and a female both sitting. they are talking
about something. They both have on serious face, but you
can't hear anything but RHONDA's voice.
                                                            
                       RHONDA (o.s)
when my mother died, the williams
didin't want to put me out on the
street or take me to an orphanage.
only because, before my mother
died, they promised to take care
of me. also they never had kids of
their own, so they said they would
feel bad putting a baby on the
streets and make it go through all
that pain and agony, knowing they
are in need of a child.
                                                            
A tall male walks in to the room and joins, the people
already sitting down. He joins them in their conversation,
but you can't hear anything but RHONDA's voice.
                                                            
                       RHONDA (o.s)
      (crying quietly)
So, Mrs. william talked to her
brother about it. Her brother came
up with an idea of me getting an
identity change. He told them he
had a friend who does it, but it
was expensive.
                                                            
 

103.

INT. OFFICE - DAY
                                                            
MRS. WILLIAMS is in the office with a scientist in a white
lab coat, with ROHNDA as a baby in her arm.
                                                            
                       RHONDA (o.s)
Mrs. williams went in to see the
Scientist, he explained to her the
process of how it works, she
agreed to do it. It was done and

                       BARRISTER TOYA COLUMBUS
As we have all heard here all
through out this case is that Mrs.
Rhonda Alston had no choice. She
didn't have an option. It wasn't
up to her to decide wether she
wanted to change or not. so why
hold it against her. Omar, he
only did it because life was hard
for him as an ivory, and just
remeber, he would never had been
in the position if he didn't
confess. He confessed all by
himself. So please think about
that when you make your decision.

I want you to look at this case
like this, OMAR trys to run away
from his problem. I mean remeber
our forefathers didn't get a
chance do that, they went through
that discrimination their whole
life. Not that they deserved it,
and now someone trys to run away
from his problem. You can't always
run away from your problem. Think
about it with your heart. Karma!
What goes around comes around.
They did it to us, now its our
turn to do it them. We stood to
take the pain, we were man enough
not to run away from our problem.
For Mrs. rhonda, we know its not
her fault but when she was giving
the chance to change back, she
should have changed back. That was
her responsibilty, she was given a
priveledge and she misused it.
Thank you
