BILLIE JEAN

FADE IN:

EXT. THE HAMPTONS - DAY
                                                            
Music plays as scene opens on a beach in the Hamptons.
                                                            
                       MUSIC
"So let me keep you warm
Through the shadows of the night
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right
Just come into my arms
While the world goes spinnin' by
And in the glow of candlelight
I will show you you're the lady in
my life"
                                                            
Billie Jean Kennedale is an average looking, but attractive
17 year old. She is light brown skinned, with zero blemishes
and wears no make up. She is dressed in a tank top and Capri
like shorts. Her hair is brown and natural, in untwisted
curls. You can hear a slight German accent when she speaks.
Sometimes, it isn't noticeable, as she is practicing to
dispose of it.
                                                            
Mitchel Justice is a handsome young man, that resembles
Micheal Jackson in his early years. He is 18 years old,
5'11", with an athletic build. He has naturally curly hair
that he wears cut low and wavy most days. His eyes are light
brown and he has full kissable lips.
                                                            
Billie Jean and Mitchel are running along the shore hand in
hand. They pause to admire the sun setting over the horizon,
as the waves lap the shore. The face one another and smile,
lovingly, gazing into each others eyes.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (Concerned)
I am going back to Germany. I
might not ever see you again.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
      (Comforting)
Don't trip, Billie Jean.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (Worried)
I'm not joking. I just had the
best summer of my entire life and
now I have to go. It just isn't
fair.

Don't ruin this.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
      (Macking)
It won't ruin it, bebe. It'll make
it betta.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Is this the end?
                                                            
The sun is setting in the background.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
      (Holding Billie
       Jean close)
Naw, shawty. It's only the
beginning.
                                                            
                                         FADE OUT
                                                            
 
INT. OPENING CREDITS - DAY
                                                            
As this song plays, the scene opens on a cartoon bedroom
with Michael Jackson plastered walls. A bed sits in the
middle of the far wall and a low cut curly fro is in view,
just above the covers. A blue down comforter covers the
entire body up to the hairline.
                                                            
The head begins to bob up and down to the music and the
covers are thrown back. Revealing the body of Mitchel
Justice (cartoon version), dressed in a black cotton tank
and black silk boxers and black ankle socks. He jumps out of
bed and moon walks to the bathroom, in his room, to brush
his teeth and wash his face. He is humming the lyrics with
his mouth full of toothpaste.
                                                            
Emerging from the bathroom, he lip sinks to verse, "And
nothin gonna stop me, Ain't no stop and go", as he break
dances his way to the clothes he laid out on the chair the
night before. It his first day of his last year at school.
He dresses and dances simultaneously. He wears an updated
version of Michael Jackson's red leather jacket, from the
video "Beat It", (on the back reads "Bad Boiz", of which he
is the leader) some slightly baggy black Phat Farm jeans and
some red and white checkered Vans. The Bad Boiz are a crew
of popular boys, that like to dance and freestyle battle.
                                                            
As the radio plays the fourth verse of "Speed Demon",
Mitchel makes his way around his room, in slide walk

fashion, grabbing things here and there, that he will need
for his first day. Wallet, keys, chap stick, Pep-O-Mint Life
savers, etc. Then out into the hallway, towards the kitchen
to get a quick bite of breakfast and say bye to his parents.
(Music continues to play)
                                                            
As the last verse plays, Mitchel is on his way to the school
yard and the scene transitions from cartoon to reality, just
as he sets foot onto the grounds. The music fades and ends.

EXT. MLK - DAY
                                                            
                                         FADE IN
                                                            
THE SKY IS CLEAR AND BLUE, WITH THE SUN SHINING BRIGHTLY
                                                            

5.

On Martin Luther King Jr High School grounds, the scene is
of hundreds of students walking to classes, exiting buses,
hugging friends and so on. We zoom in on Huggy, whose real
name is Heath Goodson. Walking from the bus lot. He is a
slightly overweight 17 year old, with fair skin and a low
fade, with three lines cut into the top left side. The
middle line, a half inch longer. He is wearing the same
jacket as Mitchel, except his is black. He is also wearing
black Phat Farm jeans and Vans that are black and white
checkered. He sees JR and reacts.
                                                            
                       HUGGY
      (exclaims loudly
       and snatches a
       lunch bag away)
Yo! Gimme that!
                                                            
Jon Paul, II, aka JR, is a tall thin lad with a high and
tight, that nearly resembles a Mohawk. He wears the same
attire as Huggy but it looks a bit tighter on him. He has
hazel colored eyes and a slight mustache. Probably the only
member of the Bad Boiz to have facial hair. He is walking
with his back toward Huggy, heading up the sidewalk.
                                                            
                       JR
      (Jumps and reaches
       for his sack
       lunch)
That's mine, give it back.
                                                            
                       HUGGY
      (Pulling the lunch
       bag away)
Back up. Back up. Back up. Gross,
you ain't 'spose ta eat this.
You're spose ta bury it!
                                                            
                       JR
That's a homemade lunch, homie!
Wutchu know about that?
                                                            
Pentarus James, better known as PJ, is 18 about to turn 19,
wears braces and is cute going on handsome. He is a member
of the Bad Boiz and of course wears the same attire as the
previously introduced members. He is walking with Huggy and
is off to his right. He is wearing a black baseball cap,
cocked off to the right. It bares the name of the group.
                                                            
                       PJ
      (surprised)
Yo t-jones got her butt outta bed
for you?
                                                            

6.

                       JR
      (Proudly
       exclaiming)
Yeah, PJ. She does it every year
on the first day of school.
                                                            
                       HUGGY
      (hands the bag
       back, quite
       jealous)
Whatever. Whatever.
                                                            
                       PJ
      (mocking)
Yeah, whatever.
                                                            
                       JR
      (looks up and
       yells)
Luscious!
                                                            
                       PJ
      (following lead)
Luscious!
                                                            
                       HUGGY
Ova here, Luscious!
                                                            
Luscious, (pronounced Loo-shuss) no last name, strikingly
resembles Mitchel, although they are not related. He is
blond with green eyes and stands an inch taller than
Mitchel. He is Mitchel's second in command. He is also a
good looking boy that looks a lot older than he is, at the
age of 17, but will 18 before the end of the school year. He
is standing near the flag pole talking to some of the girls.
He also wears the Bad Boiz "uniform", with jacket collar up
to his side burns.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
      (looks up and
       grins)
Yo, where ya at?
                                                            
                       HUGGY
      (not realizing
       that was a
       hypothetical
       question)
We right here!
                                                            

7.

                       PJ
      (at Luscious,
       pulling on sleeve)
Where were you at all summer, man?
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
      (dusting off left
       shoulder)
What? You my moms now?
                                                            
                       PJ
Just asking, dang.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
I was hustlin', but you don't know
nothin' about that.
                                                            
                       JR
Hustlin'?
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
You heard me. I was stocking the
shelves at the Piggly Wiggly and
making pizzas at Papa Johns.
                                                            
                       JR
      (sarcastically)
Great jobs!
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Step off! I'm savin' for my ride
and building up my credit. If I
keep my credit score high, I don't
have to worry about putting a
whole bunch a money down. And my
payments will be low.
                                                            
                       PJ
Oh yeah? The interest rate should
be low too, huh? But you wanna
hear what I did?
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
      (Shakes his head
       "yes", but says
       "no")
Yes, no.
                                                            
                       HUGGY
Hey, there's Mitchel!
                                                            
                       PJ
Mitchel!
                                                            

8.

                       JR
Yo, Mitchel!
                                                            
                       ALL BOIZ
Yo Mitchel!
                                                            
They approach Mitchel, who appears to be ignoring them. They
walk faster almost running.
                                                            
                       HUGGY
Mitchel!
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Wutitdo, playa?
                                                            
                       HUGGY
Wuttup, Mitchel?
                                                            
Huggy hip checks JR
                                                            
                       JR
Yo, come on!
                                                            
Mitchel is sitting alone on the top of the stairs, looking
down at the campus and the students, deep in thought. He is
contemplating the years gone by and thinking of his future
as an entertainer in the music industry.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
      (stands up)
Yoooooo!
                                                            
They exchange daps, pounds, playa hugs, (you know the hug
with the hands locked in a hand shake between them, and the
one arm around the others back.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Hey, wutitdo bebe?
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Nice ta see ya.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
      (pointing to a
       crowd of females
       chatting and
       giggling)
Pick up any dimes ova there?

                       MITCHEL
      (doing the hand
       pushaw thing)
Nah, same ol' change er'ybody's

                       LUSCIOUS
So, whadja do all summer, Mitchel?
                                                            
                       MITCHEL

                       JR

                       PJ
Yeah, well the only thing you get

                       JR
Hang on P, huh?
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
How'd it go down at the Hampton's?
                                                            
They walk inside the building doors, where security scans
them visually.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
It was crazy, dawg!
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS

                       MITCHEL

was um, aiight, though, you know.
                                                            
                       JR

                       MITCHEL
JR is that all you can wrap your
brain around?
                                                            
                       JR

                       MITCHEL

       hall to the left)
This one!
                                                            
                       JR
      (had stopped to
       fix mustache in
       mirror)
Yo, home boiz, hol up!
                                                            
B-Boiz exit left and Da PHAT Gurrlz enter right, missing
each other
                                                            
Billie Jean is wearing an outfit that resembles a business
suite. She is used to wearing a school uniform and wasn't
sure what the current attire would be. So her parents
purchased an entire wardrobe composed of business suites and
the like. She looks much older and refined then the other
girls her age and it makes her feel out of place. She is
still a looker that catches the eye of many potential
suitors.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (extremely
       concerned)
Do I look alright, Regine?
                                                            
Regine Lumere is tall and thin, nearly too thin, but not
anorexic. She is French/Creole and is light skinned, pretty
and second in command of Da PHAT Gurrlz. (Pretty Hot And
Tempting) Regine always has a different hairstyle as she
wants to be a cosmetologist. Although, they aren't always
the cutest, she enjoys experimenting. She is dressed in the
latest blue Baby Phat outfit. With matching boots. She wears
a white satin Baby Phat jacket with the words "Da PHAT
Gurrlz" embroidered on the back and in the front. Her name
is also on the front, just underneath the group's name.
                                                            
The two girls are walking down the hall toward the
Principal's office.
                                                            
                       REGINE
Fa sho, gurrl.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
I'm just freakin out right now.
                                                            
                       REGINE
      (not looking)
You look hot.
                                                            

11.

                       BILLIE JEAN
So this is Martin Luther King?
                                                            
                       REGINE
Yep, you'll dig it.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
I dug my last school. Wish I was
there instead of here, but I know
heartbreak very well.
                                                            
                       REGINE
Why, you got a heart murmur?
                                                            
Billie offers Regine a questioning look
                                                            
IN ANOTHER HALL, WALKING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION...
                                                            
Lady M, whose parents named Leesha Meeks, is the leader of
Da PHAT Gurrlz, is not very pretty, but she believes she is
the cutest girl in the world. She is 5'4 and thick and well
developed. Dressed in the newest Baby Phat, from head to
toe, she knows she looks good. She wears the blue satin Baby
Phat jacket signifying that she is the leader.
                                                            
                       LADY M
O M G! [sighs] well, here we go
again.
                                                            
Winefred Williamson is the prettiest of the Gurrlz. She is
5'5", 130 lbs with a enviable figure, for 17. She has long
relaxed hair and over does it with the jewelry. A ring on
every finger, from all her boys, about 5 necklaces, and hoop
earrings. She is chocolate skinned with a smooth complexion.
She wears gray contacts today. She claims they make her
mysterious.
                                                            
                       WINNIE
Yeah, but now we seniors, ma.
                                                            
Kai Howards is the shorter, younger, chubby member. She
claims it is just baby fat. Pun intended. She is the
smartest of the crew, at 16, she is already a senior. Kai is
fashionably dressed in the latest Baby Phat and group
jacket. She is always snacking on something not good for
her.
                                                            
                       KAI
      (re-enacting a
       scene from
       "Invader Zim")
And with my iron fist, I will rule
the school! Ah ha ha, ah ha...oh.

                       KAI (cont'd)

                       WINNIE
Kai, how juvenile.
                                                            
                       KAI
We are juvenile!
                                                            
                       LADY M
But that's why we front. Aiight
Gurrlz, let's get at 'em.
                                                            
 
INT. PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE - DAY
                                                            
INSIDE THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE...
                                                            
The Principal's office is very colorful. She allowed some of
the students from last year's art class to add a taste of
graffiti art, in order to avoid that same art to be located
all around the school walls. The furniture is modern chic,
almost like a home living room, enabling students and staff
to feel more comfortable.
                                                            
Principal Theresa Michaels resembles Pam Grier. She is
distinguished, yet beautiful and takes nothing from no one.
She is stern and makes every judgment count. She is wearing
a gray pin striped skirt suit, with a white blouse and black
patent leather heels. Her long naturally straight hair (she
has Indian in her family) is pulled up in a bun. Light make
up and no jewelry is visible in her quest to be extremely
professional and profound. She strives to be taken seriously
and needs to feel as if she is a role model for her
student.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
Cherry, you have the new
schedules?
                                                            
Miss Cherry is the opposite of Principal Michaels. She is
dingy and a bit of a slob. Principal Michaels struggles
daily to keep her in check. She has a slight case of
Attention Deficit Disorder, but tries her best to get things
done correctly and on time. Today she is dressed in a
flowery dress with long sleeves and flats that don't match.
Her hair is curly and out of control.
                                                            
                       CHERRY
      (eating Reese's
       bites, licking
       chocolate off her
       fingers)
Yes, Miss Michaels, I just had 'em

Cherry and the principal begin searching for the papers.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
      (Aggravated)
Great! Now they'll be all kinds of
smudged!
                                                            
                       CHERRY
Oh my gosh! Here they go. If they
were snakes I would be dead.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
      (disappointed)
Cherry, these are last semester's
schedules, that we couldn't find
last semester. Maybe next year,
you'll find the ones for this
semester.
                                                            
                       CHERRY
      (under her breath)
(Yes, Miss Michaels.)
                                                            
 
INT. HALL - DAY
                                                            
Three students in the hall, seeing one another for the first
time since the last day of last school year. We see them
clowning around running to class.
                                                            
                       MACK
Deron! Come on man...pull your
pants up dawg! Did you know where
that comes from? In prison, there
used to be so many suicides with
belts, from men taking other men
to be their "women", that the
guards would take their belts
away. Which made their pants sag.
So saggy pants meant that you were

                       DERON
      (embarrassed,
       tightening belt)
Yo, I ain't even know that, dawg.

INT. FRONT OFFICE - DAY
                                                            
The front office is similar to the principals office.
                                                            
Mr. Best is one of the science teachers. Is not bad looking
for a father of three. He wears black trousers, that barely
pass his ankles, penny loafers, and a shirt and tie, that
are all the same color. He has a cup of lukewarm coffee in
one hand and a brief case in the one that wears the wedding
ring.
                                                            
                       MR. BEST
      (disappointed)
I've got Luscious again.
                                                            
Mrs. Jones is one of the math teachers. She kind of has a
thing for Mr. Best. She wears glasses that have the chain
hanging down from the frames and they sit at the edge of her
nose. She is wearing a second hand dress from the Goodwill
store, that appears very old fashioned and very very worn.
On her feet are a pair of old school Mary Jane's one size
too small. Mrs. Jones likes to hide her big feet in small
shoes. She could be considered model material, but also
hides her beauty as she is a teacher. She looks old for her
age as well.
                                                            
                       MRS. JONES
He's been here longer than I have
and I been here six years!
                                                            
Nurse Thompson wears a pair of teal scrubs that have pics of
Scooby Doo on them and a pair of white Crocs. She is average
looking with graying black hair.
                                                            
                       NURSE THOMPSON
      (searching the
       medicine cabinets)
It's only the first day of school
and my Motrin is missing.

                       MRS. JONES
      (head in her
       syllabus)
Hmmm...how many days until
Christmas break?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (enters the room)
86.
                                                            
                       MRS. JONES
      (peers up from
       notebook shocked)
86?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (blushes and
       continues to
       Cherry's desk,
       with an absent
       Cherry)
I am so counting.
                                                            
                       MRS. JONES
      (returning to her
       papers)
I see.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
      (exits her office)
May I help you, honey?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Yes please. This is my first day
of school and I'm not too sure of
where I should be.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
Uh, well, welcome to MLK. Fill out
these forms completely
and...(hears loud noise and looks
up) will you excuse me for a
second? I shall return.
                                                            
Principal Michaels walks out of the office door
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Oh, pardon me. Do you have a pen I
could borrow, please?
                                                            

16.

                       CHERRY
      (appearing
       suddenly)
Oh, yes, sweetie. Here you go.
                                                            
[BELL RINGS]
                                                            
 
INT. HALL - DAY
                                                            
The Boiz are strolling down the locker walled hall way. They
are all tardy, but don't seem to be bothered. They are
practicing dance moves, making beats and rhyming. PJ
attempts a few lines and is off beat.
                                                            
                       JR
      (looking at his
       schedule, nose
       crinkled up as if
       something smells
       badly)
Dang, every teacher I have this
year has given me at least one F.
                                                            
                       HUGGY
      (pointing index
       finger)
If you ain't careful, you'll be
hemmed up in Michael's office.
                                                            
                       JR
      (balling up
       schedule and
       tossing it over
       right shoulder)
Oh yeah? well this year, she'll
wish she ain't never seen me.
                                                            
                       HUGGY
      (flexing shoulders)
What? And wutchu gon do?
                                                            
                       JR
      (dusting right
       shoulder off)
I ain't gonna take none of her
crap, is all. I ain't gonna take
crap from nobody.
                                                            
As the Boiz round the corner, with JR in front of the group,
Principal Michaels is right there. JR is looking behind him
and turns his head in time to see her. But the rest of them

17.

stop short and avoid the confrontation. They hang back and
listen, trying not to be seen or heard.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
Young man!
                                                            
                       JR
      (stunned, standing
       at attention)
Yes ma'am.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
      (hands on hips)
Shouldn't you be in homeroom at
this very moment?
                                                            
                       JR
I was just on my way.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
You were just loungin, weren't
you?
                                                            
                       JR
      (scrolling mental
       Rolodex)
Loungin? Yes ma'am.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
      (crossing arms)
This is no way to begin a new
semester, Mr. Paul.
                                                            
                       JR
      (mumbles in French)
Je n'aime pas la femme...
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
Perhaps a few hours in Saturday
school will set you straight?
                                                            
                       JR
Yes, ma'am.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
      (standing stiffly)
Are you just going stand there?
                                                            
                       JR
      (stuttering)
Um, no, ma'am. I mean, yes, ma'am.
I mean I I'm just uh...
                                                            

18.

                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
      (Points finger in
       opposite
       direction)
Good, then get to steppin'!
                                                            
                       JR
No, ma'am.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
Which one is it? Yes or no?
                                                            
                       JR
Yes, ma'am.
                                                            
Principal Michaels turns and walks back to her office. The
Boiz tip toe behind her back and proceed down the hall.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
      (instigating)
Yo, dawg! I'm glad you didn't take
any of her crap. You would have
really cussed her out, huh JR?
                                                            
                       HUGGY
      (mocking JR and
       the principal)
Mr. Paul! Yes, ma'am! No ma'am!
                                                            
                       JR
      (redirecting the
       attention from
       him, he addresses
       Franklin's
       presence)
Yo, Franklin! Wussup?
                                                            
Franklin Tibbs is the geeky kid in school. He sports a pair
of expensive glasses and wears his clothes that fit just
right, as they are tailored. He likes the way he looks in
his suits and ties and carries a silver brief case, like the
spies in the movies do. He fancies himself becoming a Crime
Scene Investigator. His hair is spiked like he just woke up
and is cute beyond belief, but pays no mind to the female
population He is absolutely the richest and smartest kid in
school, who has the pleasure of riding in a stretched Land
Rover to and from school. He lives just two blocks away.
                                                            
                       FRANKLIN
      (his voice is
       cracking from
       puberty)
What's up, guys?!

                       HUGGY
You have a good summer? Dap buddy.
[socks him in the arm instead]
                                                            
                       FRANKLIN
      (grabbing his arm)
Ouch, dang!
                                                            
                       HUGGY
Hey, wuss wrong, homie? You're
wearing glasses?
                                                            
                       FRANKLIN
I lost my contacts again! Father
refuses to buy another pair.
                                                            
                       HUGGY
That's too bad!
[slaps Franklin on the back]
                                                            
                       PJ
      (carrying on an
       alternate
       conversation)
It just fell out!
(referencing the lost contact)

Yo, let's be out!

[CHERRY PLAYS BELLS]
                                                            
Principal Michaels wears a wireless headset to make the
morning announcement. She sits at her desk with her feet up
on a leather ottoman that coordinates with her desk chair.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
Good morning, ladies and gents,
and welcome to what promises to be
the best year at MLK. Saturday
night is our first pep rally and
fireworks show, and I want all
ya'll to represent for Coach
Jackson and the MLK Mustangs. And

athletic supporter.

I ain't tryna be nobody's jock

[LAUGHING AND GIGGLING.]
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
Now, the really big news and
probably the most awesome thing to
happen at MLK High. Dance Club 21
has selected MLK as a
representative high school and
will broadcast a 2-step contest
live form our very own gym!
[Students cheer]
It is our chance to show the
nation what clean, well behaved,
(rolling her eyes) nice...students
we have here at MLK.
[Mercedes screams]
                                                            
Mercedes Benson is also rich, the second richest at MLK. She
drives a Toyota Prius to school, though. She believes in
saving the planet. So, she is constantly doing all she can
to help the environment. She is fairly stuck up and preppy,
and she is on the dance team, debate team, and Go Green
team. They ensure the school stays environmentally sound.
                                                            
 
EXT. CAFETERIA & BLEACHERS - DAY
                                                            
                                         CAFETERIA
                                                            
The cafeteria is bright due to the amount of windows that
make up one of the major walls. Mercedes is responsible for
this new feature. The tables and chairs are new and
comfortable. Franklin is responsible for this. The meals are
prepared by chefs, with health and a well rounded diet in
mind. Both Franklin and Mercedes are to "blame" for this.
But students are enjoying the new menu and venue.
                                                            
Heading toward the table, self reserved for "Da PHAT Gurrlz"
only, Lady M and Winnie are carrying their lunches freshly
prepared and served by the new chefs.

       black leather
       cushioned seat)
Been there, done that.

Nope. Now we can see all of your
face.
                                                            
DA GURRLZ SOUND OFF "OOOOH!"
                                                            
They all put their right hands up, stick out index finger
and point in a downward motion, while making a sizzling
sound. "SSSSSSSSSSS"
                                                            
                       KAI

       fast)

Oh, my bad, gurrrrrlz. Y'all must

                       LUSCIOUS

       but is left
       hanging)

                       HUGGY
      (elbowing JR)
Yo, dawgs. Yo!
      (nodding down)
Girls!
                                                            
Some girls are seated a few rows from the fellows and PJ is
beneath them looking up the skirts.
                                                            
                       GIRLS
What?!
                                                            
They look down and spot PJ.
                                                            
                       PJ
      (looks at the
       girls and waves)
Wutitdo, ladies?
                                                            
The girls gather their things and get up quickly.
Embarrassed as the Boiz laugh at them.
                                                            
                       HUGGY
      (helping PJ up,
       then pushing him
       down onto the
       bleacher)
You got issues, PJ!
                                                            
                       PJ
      (blushing slightly)
Hey! Yo, agh!
                                                            
                       HUGGY
      (reverts attention
       to Mitchel)
Yo, I wanna hear what Mitchel did
in the Hampton's.
                                                            
                       JR
      (in agreement)
Word!

Nuttin, nuttin.

As if.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
      (in disbelief)
Really, nuttin, Justice? Right.
                                                            
                       PJ
Seriously, Mitchel, you tapped
that, right?
                                                            
                       HUGGY
      (demanding)
Fo rizzeel, come on. Tell us how
it went down, dawg.
                                                            
                                         CAFETERIA
                                                            
Da PHAT Gurrlz have surrounded Billie Jean and are messing
with her and her stuff, being nosy.
                                                            
                       REGINE
What did you do for the summer
Billie Jean?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (reminiscing)
Ah, I spent most of it at the
Hampton's. I met a guy there.
                                                            
                       LADY M
      (sarcastically)
Took your goodies all the way to
the Hampton's to find some guy?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Well, he was kinda special.
                                                            
                       LADY M
That's an oxy moron!
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
He was sweet and romantic.

                       LUSCIOUS
Tell it!
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Nah, y'all ain't ready for all the
sexy details.
                                                            
                       JR
      (getting excited
       at the word sexy)
Are you serious right now?
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Aiight then, I'll tell you!
                                                            
Duet between Mitchel and Billie Jean, singing "Remember the
Time" as flashes of scenes from each of their memory occur.
Mitchel's is a little more sexy than Billie Jean's and hers
is very innocent sounding. Both are exaggerating, trying to
be cool and trying not to look too fast.
                                                            
Everyone is dancing to the song and snapping their fingers
to the beat. Singing the chorus. In addition to flash backs
of Billie Jean and Mitchel, the two scenes between the
cafeteria and bleachers go back and forth, showing the Boiz
and the Gurrlz singing and dancing.

The song ends and everyone returns to their original
positions.
                                                            
                       KAI
      (day dreaming)
He sounds real swell.
                                                            
                       LADY M
True love and he didn't touch you
at all? Sounds like a dork to me.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (not telling the
       whole truth)
Well, he wasn't a DORK. He was a
complete gentleman.
                                                            
                       REGINE
Well, what was this dude's name?

      (she snaps her
       fingers)
                                                            
The Gurrlz leave Regine and Billie Jean at the table. They
are getting up and heading out the door.
                                                            
                       REGINE
      (wishfully
       thinking)
Regine, do you think that could
really happen?

EXT. PEP RALLY & FIREWORKS - NIGHT
                                                            
The outside stadium is packed with staff and students. Most
of them are wearing school colors and letter-man's jackets.
There are tiki torches blazing in the back ground.
                                                            
[BAND PLAYS] "DON'T STOP TIL YOU GET ENOUGH"

33.

[WAVING & CHEERING]
                                                            
A stage is set up on the track field, just in front of the
football field. Most of the staff are seated here. There is
a podium set up with a microphone and speakers. Principal
Michaels walks toward the mic, wearing a long coat and a
pant suit, with pumps.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
And now...hush everyone. Quiet
please. Be Quiet, People! Now the
H.M.I.C., The coach who will pull
MLK out of the 7 year slump, Coach
Jackson!
                                                            
                       CROWD
MLK!
                                                            
Coach Jackson, is an older gentleman sporting the school
sweat pants and hoody. He wears a whistle around his neck, a
cap on his head, and Nikes on his feet. He approaches the
podium, snatches off the microphone and makes his speech.
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
Take em to the hole! You students
ready for the a great season?
[cheering] These boys are mean. I
mean really nice. Because I made
them nice and mean. They're not
only mean,
                                                            
Anthony Patrick is the school jock. He is good looking and
well versed in the sports offered at MLK. His favorite is
basketball. He will attend college on one of several
scholarships being offered to him at the moment.
                                                            
Anthony is sitting on a bench, not far from the dance team.
He is wearing MLK's football uniform, minus the helmet.
                                                            
                       ANTHONY PATRICK
      (mouthed to Billie
       Jean after she
       notices him)
(Hi)
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
they are rough and
                                                            
Billie Jean is now a member of MLK's Dance team, as
encouraged by Mercedes. She is having a great time. She
notices Anthony looking at her.

                       VOICE IN CROWD
Let's snatch em up, Coach!
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
twist em, & pretzel em! Then we're
gonna shred em apart! After the
shredding is over, we'll come back
& ring that victory bell! Like we
always wanted.
                                                            
[cheering] [band plays "Off the Wall"]. Everyone jumps and
runs around the bleachers and field.The Boiz are walking
away from the crowd and field, toward the parking lot where
the fireworks are.

      (back handing PJ's
       chest a few times)
Yo! What are the Cobras doing
here? This ain't their block.
                                                            
The Cobras are a rival group from another school. They come
riding through the parking lot on similar motorbikes,
wearing dirty old leather jackets, no helmets beat up boots
and and old jeans with holes in the knees. Their jackets
have pictures of cobra snakes imprinted on them and some
them are wearing florescent orange vests, to show they are
new, not yet, members.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
      (to Mitchel)
Think they wanna go?
                                                            
Cobras ride out.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
      (to Luscious,
       glaring at the
       Cobras)
Well, if they do, we'll be ready
for em.
                                                            
Back at the field, the students and staff are continuing the
pep rally. Everyone is seated, except the dance team, who
are performing more cheers and dances.
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
Aiight, team, let's get em!
                                                            
The football team runs out onto the field and there is
pandemonium all over again.

Regine and Billie jean are walking to the parking lot. The

       Billie Jean's

Leaning against the fence with Regine, at the other side of
the parking lot.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (sorrowful)
He was soooo sweet this summer.
                                                            
                       REGINE
Listen, Billie Jean, men are pigs.
You heard me? They are fleas on
pigs. Worse than that, they are
parasites on fleas on pigs. I
mean, they don't even sweat, so
you shouldn't sweat them.
The only man a girl can depend on
is her pops.
You need a Gurrlz night out. We're
having a sleepover tonight, at my
crib. You coming? [Billie Jean
nods a yes] Hot. You'll love it.
Let's go!
                                                            
They run off into the night.
                                                            
 
INT. REGINE'S SLEEPOVER - NIGHT
                                                            
This scene is set in Regine's very well furnished bedroom.
It is large and has it's own bathroom. There are various
posters of all the Jacksons on the walls, a king size bed, a
sofa, and flat screen television and a large walk in closet
are key elements here.
                                                            
The Gurrlz are already in their pajamas, but aren't going to
bed any time soon. They are sitting on Regine's bed. Regine
and Billie Jean are on the couch.
                                                            
                       WINNIE
Hey, look, it's Kai!
                                                            
Fruit roll ups commercial with chimps on a school bus

                       KAI

KAI PRETENDS TO GET KNOCKED OVER BY STUFFED ANIMAL
                                                            
                       WINNIE
Where's the remote?
                                                            
                       LADY M
Yo!
Hand me some sun flower seeds!
                                                            
                       WINNIE
Yeah, me too!
                                                            
                       REGINE
You want some too Billie Jean?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
No thanks, I don't want high blood
pressure!
                                                            
                       WINNIE
You don't want what?!
                                                            
EVERYONE FALLS OVER LAUGHING
                                                            
                       LADY M
Come on, try some. they won't kill
you. Who told you that?
                                                            
Billie Jean tries some anyway, not wanting to be ridiculed
any further.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (choking on the
       salty shell)
My father says they are bad for
you.
                                                            
                       LADY M
      (snickering)
Oh, dang! I forgot to tell you not
to swallow the shells. You gotta
bite them open to get the seeds.
                                                            

43.

                       REGINE
Hey Billie Jean, lemme show you
how to do it. You use your tongue
to hold them between your teeth
and then bite down, just a little.
It's almost sensual. Watch.
                                                            
REGINE DEMONSTRATES THE ART OF SUNFLOWER SEED POPPING
                                                            
                       KAI
OMG! That is the ugliest thing I
ever saw!
                                                            
                       REGINE
Uh ah, guys dig it and this is why
they dig on me.
                                                            
                       LADY M
      (shoves Winnie)

                       WINNIE
Whoa!
                                                            
                       LADY M
Aiight, aiight, it's time for the
ice cold kool aid!
                                                            
Lady M begins pouring and Kai passes out the clear plastic
cups full of red syrup.
                                                            
                       KAI
It's the red kind! What flavor is
red, anyhow? Hey anyone want a
Moon Pies?
                                                            
                       WINNIE
      (puts finger to
       temple)
Moon Pies and kool aid. Can you
say multiple trips to the dentist,
Kai? That red syrup is sweet
enough!
                                                            
                       KAI
Well, the pack said sugar free.
But Regine prolly used a whole
five pound bag!
                                                            
                       LADY M
Billie Jean didn't get any kool
aid. Wussup with that?
                                                            

44.

                       BILLIE JEAN
No, that's okay. I don't want any
cavities.
                                                            
THE GIRLS FALL BACK IN A FIT OF LAUGHTER AGAIN
                                                            
                       LADY M
You never had any kool aid,
either?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (not wanting to
       feel left out)
Ah huh! I had some at my cousin's
house once!
                                                            
                       LADY M
Well, whoopty doo!
                                                            
                       REGINE
      (attempting to
       divert attention)
Um, Billie Jean, can I pierce your
nose for you?
                                                            
Passing Billie Jean a glass, who takes it hesitantly.
                                                            
                       KAI
What you think we got hepatitis or
something?

                       REGINE
No way! I'm a pro! I'm about to be
a cosmetologist, bemember?
                                                            
                       LADY M
What's wrong? You scurred?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (matter of factly)
No, I am not!
                                                            
                       WINNIE
      (hands over a
       small decorated
       gold safety pin)
Here Regine, use this. Some of the
girls at school are wearing them
to signify that we never had sex.
It's a virgin pin.
                                                            
                       KAI
      (sarcastically,
       biting into Moon
       Pie)
Mmm, hmm. Well, now it could be
used for something.
                                                            
                       REGINE
Cool!
                                                            
Takes pin and grabs Billie Jean's hand, leading her into the
bathroom.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Regine, I don't like the sound of
this.
                                                            
Follows Regine reluctantly.
                                                            
                       REGINE
Oh, you'll be alright bebe.
                                                            
They stop just before the dresser and Regine tries to
surprise Billie Jean.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Well then, my father won't like it
one bit, I tell you...
                                                            
                       REGINE
No, you won't feel a...
                                                            
Poking the pin into Billie Jean's nose...
                                                            

46.

                       BILLIE JEAN
      (crying out in
       pain)
Ouch!
                                                            
                       REGINE
Um, yeah, Billie Jean, we need to
go to the bathroom. My t-jones
will kill me if I get blood on her
new Berber.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
What?!
                                                            
                       REGINE
It will only bleed a second.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Regine, I don't feel so well.
                                                            
                       LADY M
Don't trip Billie Jean. If she
messes up she can do your hair so
that side of your face don't
show.
                                                            
Regine and Billie Jean retreat to the restroom, their voices
are a little muffled
                                                            
                       REGINE
Billie, Billie Jean, beauty is
pain. It hurts to look this good.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (screaming)
Owww!
                                                            
Poking her head out of the restroom door
                                                            
                       REGINE
Would you get an ice pack? I need
to numb her nostril.
                                                            
                       WINNIE
Why don't you just put it under
some cold H2O?
                                                            
                       REGINE
Oh. Right!
                                                            
Closes door in a hurry.

                       WINNIE
It's gettin cold up in here.
                                                            
                       LADY M
      (holdin up a piece
       of paper with
       typing printed on
       it)
Hey! What this is?
                                                            
                       WINNIE
An email from Bobby in Iraq.
                                                            
                       KAI
You are dating an Iraqi?
                                                            
                       WINNIE
No, silly. He's in the Army.
                                                            
                       LADY M (Kai)
      (sing the Village
       People song)
In the Army!
                                                            
                       WINNIE

                       LADY M
Dang! You are turning into quite
the little h...
                                                            
Exiting the restroom
                                                            
                       REGINE
      (interrupting)
...oh, y'all, Billie Jean's sick.
I poked her nose and she hurled!
                                                            
                       KAI
      (covering her nose
       with both hands)
You ain't gettin near my nose!
                                                            
                       REGINE
Yeah, well you'll be sweatin me

Beauty Cosmetology School.
                                                            
                       KAI

48.

                       REGINE
No, I don't think of it as
quitting, I see as a very dope
career move.
                                                            
                       LADY M
      (holding a picture)

                       WINNIE
      (sounding a bit
       jealous)
His ex was in that picture with
him.
                                                            
                       REGINE
      (from the outside
       of the restroom)
Billie Jean, here's your spin
brush.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Uh, thanks Regine. Sorry I have

Yo, Mitchel.

Hey, Mitchel.
                                                            
They watch as Mitchel walks away, still seated on the top of
the backseat of the car.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
      (bowing and waving
       her in his car)
Your, um, limo awaits me lady.

Aiight, aiight.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
      (throwin up a back

Follow the yellow brick road!!
                                                            
Huggy, JR, and PJ hop out of the car and begin walking down
the street in the opposite direction of Mitchel.
                                                            
                       HUGGY
Glad I got my life insurance
policy last month.

BILLIE JEAN USES THE PHONE TO TEXT A MESSAGE ABOUT MITCHEL,
but doesn't send it. She goes downstairs, into the back yard
and begins to sing. We see her fantasize about dancing with
Mitchel and then Mitchel becomes Michael Jackson and then
back to Mitchel.

Know Where We Are
And Though I Find Myself Attracted
To You
This Time I'm Trying Not To Go Too
Far, Cause

No Matter How It Starts It Ends
The Same
Someone's Always Doing Someone

Trading In The Passion For That
Taste Of Pain
It's Only Gonna Happen Again

[2nd Verse (Billie Jean)]
And Though I'm Trying Not To Look
In Your Eyes
Each Time I Do They Kind Of Burn
Right Through Me
Don't Want To Lay Down In A Bed
Full Of Lies
And Yet My Heart Is Saying Come
And Do Me

The scene fades with her crying into her hands, sitting on
the back porch. We see a vision of Mitchel looking back, as
if he can see her. He keeps walking away.
                                                            
 
EXT. LOOK OUT POINT - NIGHT
                                                            
On a hill overlooking the town, cars filled with horny
teenagers, are parked. Windows are foggy, but silhouettes of
couples kissing can be seen in each car. Luscious and Lady M
are in one of them. The top to his cruiser is tattered, worn
and flapping in the gentle breeze. The back window is broken
out.

He opens it and pulls out a blob of latex substance.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS

Oh, Leesha. [something bumps his
car]
(looking out the back window hole
to see what it is)
Hey! What's going on, man?
                                                            
Miko, leader of the Cobras, is backing into Luscious' car.
Miko is tall, thin, but muscular. Japanese and black, he is
sort of attractive and has a few scars present on his face.
                                                            
                       MIKO
You in a no parking zone, playa.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
This whole spot is no parking
dawg!

                       MIKO
Yeah, I'll give you a buck for
your ride & your chick!
                                                            
Miko and his girl laugh and drive off, kicking up dirt as
they do so. Luscious looks at Meeks and covers his mouth to
hide the smile. Meeks is not smiling.
                                                            
 
INT. AUTO SHOP - DAY
                                                            
The Boiz are dressed in white Ts and khaki coveralls, Except
Mitchel, who is wearing a black T. The coveralls are zipped
up to their waists, so the top halves are hanging down the
back. Only Huggy wears his zipped all the way.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
      (looking at the
       car well pleased)
Aiight, so we just need to repair
this dent and that'd be it.
                                                            
                       HUGGY
      (seriously joking)
The dent ain't the problem. The
problem is the rinky dink engine.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
      (becoming offended)
The problem is your pie hole.
                                                            
                       PJ
      (looking under the
       hood)
So, where you gonna get a new
carb?
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
You ever hear of a five finger
discount?
Well, I won't be using that
because I got my first credit
card, ya dig?
                                                            
                       JR

Fast and Furious, or pimp it like
the X to the Z. Now peep this.
This car could be so Dougie, it
could be smooth...it could be Bad.

transform the car into one that looks like the cars on "Pimp
My Ride".

*Hmph* Oh hi.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
What's good?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Nothing for you.
                                                            
JUKEBOX MUSIC STOPS

About the other night, at the pep

                       MITCHEL
Oh what? Oh, I can take them punks
to the hole with it.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Show and prove then. [walks away,
glances back smiling]
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
      (chuckles coolly
       at the challenge,
       but sounds like
       Butthead)
Huh, hu, huh, hu hu hu.

Alright, chill out guys. This is

                       TEAM MATE

                       COACH JACKSON
Okay, alright, step it up. Come

                       COACH JACKSON
Chin up, there you go, hit it, hit
it. Yes, that's it, there you go,
there you go.
                                                            
MITCHEL'S TEAM MATE HITS THE BALL TO HIM VERY HARD.
                                                            
MITCHEL FREESTYLES ABOUT THE BOY'S LACK OF GEAR SENSE
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Yo, dawg where you shop at?
Target little boys?
Your clothes are so tight
I can hear a squeaking noise.
And what about your kicks, man?

                       MITCHEL
      (sizing up the
       pitcher who is
       quite muscular
       and towers
       Mitchel)
You out of your mind?!
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Alright, let's go. let's get this
started, now. Get behind the plate
Mitchel. Don't stand on it and
bend your knees a bit.
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
Don, you ready? OK. (blows whistle
after strike two)
Wait a minute. Mitchel, you gotta
swing the bat, at least try to hit
the ball.
Let's do this.
Alright, open your eyes now.
Don, get set.
Ready?
                                                            
Don pitches a curve ball that looks outside and strikes
Mitchel out
                                                            
MITCHEL FREESTYLES AND CLOWNS THE PITCHER AND THE GAME
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Who taught you how to throw? I
mean you gotta come harder than
that. I should come over there
right now and beat you with this
bat. But I won't, I will spare
you, cuz I'm a lover not a
fighter. And when it comes to good
lovin, I'm an all nighter.
Yo, this is a bunch of bull. This
team can't win a game. So, Imma
try out for some other sport cuz
            (MORE)

                       MITCHEL (cont'd)
this one is just too lame.
                                                            
Mitchel drops bat and walks off toward locker room
                                                            
 
EXT. FOOTBALL FIELD - DAY
                                                            
The attire is fully equipped football uniforms, in the

                       COACH JACKSON
You'll like football. It's a full
on contact sport. Now, go on so we
can see what you can do.
Let's go. Throw a pass. Get this
game going.
                                                            
Mitchel walks coolly out on the field and places his helmet
on his head.
                                                            
                       TEAM MATE
      (Quarter back
       throws a long
       pass)
He can't even catch!
                                                            
                       TEAM MATE
      (Running back)
Fumbelia!
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
Let's go. Catch the ball!
                                                            
                       TEAM MATE
      (Receiver)
That was right to him, too.
                                                            
                       TEAM MATE
      (Center)
See!
                                                            
                       TEAM MATE
      (Quarterback)
What kind of athlete are you?
Can you catch or what?
                                                            
                       TEAM MATE
      (Referee)
Fumble, first and down!
                                                            

75.

                       TEAM MATE
      (on side lines)
Dang he has butter fingers!
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
Let's go, try to catch it this
time. Let's go. Step it up now,
let's go, let's go.
Catch it for goodness sakes!
Run, now run!

MITCHEL APPROACHES REF WORKING UP HIS FLOW, REMOVING HELMET
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Well, now, where do I start?
You players are no works of art
and...
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
      (shyly)
OK, put the helmet down. Put the
helmet down!
Maybe you are better off in the
marching band.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
      (breathing hard)
What do you mean, marching?
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
Not just marching. Playing music.
You got mad skills and that will
help you keep the beat. Plus, its
a no contact sport, so you'll have
no one on one competition.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
That could be fresh.
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
      (relieved)
Sweet.

                       MITCHEL
Son of a biscuit!
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (in bleachers with
       Anthony Patrick
       sees the accident)
Mitchel!
Mitchel, are you okay?
Mitchel, talk to me?
You owe me that much after the way
you treated me.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
      (removing drum
       harness)
After the way...I-I treated you?
I already apologized for that.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (helping him up)
Ha! Ha! I tricked you into
talking!
Are you certain you're alright?
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
      (blushing a little)
Yeah, mami. I'm good.
                                                            
THE REST OF THE LINE GETS UP GIVING MITCHEL THE EVIL EYE
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Still talking to ol boy?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN

                       MITCHEL
      (dusting himself
       off)
You going to the dance with him?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
That's up to you.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Up to me?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Ah huh.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
He can go solo then. Let's bounce!
                                                            
They run off hand in hand. Mitchel looks back to see Anthony
standing to his feet watching angrily.

                       PJ

Well, aren't you the lucky one,
sweetness? Let me be your body

                       WINNIE
But, who's going to guard your
scraggly body?

JR walks off laughing, while PJ stops to ponder what he
meant. Then gets it a few seconds later and blushes bright
red.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Hey, um, Mitchel. I'm trippin

C-ya Billie Jean.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
      (looks down at
       table of half
       eaten food)
Oh dang, stuck with the stinking
bill again. Buckets o'duckets,
please? What's up with you, gurrl?
A piece of string has more
character than you right now.
                                                            
                       LADY M
Back up off me, playa.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Yeah, okay, I'll back up...back to
before we met, huh? How about
that?
                                                            
                       LADY M
      (picks up glass of
       melting Arctic
       Rush)
How about this? (throws into
Luscious face)
My bad Regine. (storms out)
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Lady M! Ah, come one Meeks! I know
you hear me!
                                                            
Luscious jumps up and stalks out after Meeks, fists balled
up. Miss Shay comes over to clear table and helps Regine
with a towel.
                                                            

86.

                       MISS SHAY
      (dabbing Regine)
No use crying over spilled Rush.
                                                            
                       REGINE
      (shaking off both
       hands)
I'm good.
                                                            
                       MISS SHAY
We about to close up, right?
                                                            
                       REGINE
Yeah. Can I chill a few more
minutes?
                                                            
Regine begins to remove the scarf tied to her head
                                                            
                       MISS SHAY
      (not looking up,
       then notices
       Regine's hair)
No, go head gurrl. Whoa!
                                                            
                       REGINE
      (looking around)
What happened?
                                                            
                       MISS SHAY
Well, chil. Let me keep it real
with you...your do looks like
someone should have said don't!
                                                            
                       REGINE
Oh, right. I had some issues in
highlights class. Come to think of
it, I had some issues in all my
classes. Cosmetology isn't what I
imagined.
                                                            
                       MISS SHAY
Chil, is anything ever?
                                                            
                       REGINE
      (embarrassed)
Miss Shay...I quit today. How do
you feel about serving?
                                                            
                       MISS SHAY
You ain't even old enough to know.
                                                            

87.

                       REGINE
      (daydreaming a
       little)
Hmmm, maybe I could work at AT&T.
No, those cubicles will make me
claustrophobic.
Geez. If only I had a guardian
angel to help me, like on that
Della Reese show "Touched By an
Angel".
                                                            
                       MISS SHAY
      (turning off
       lights)
Yeah, well if you find one, give
them my digits, will ya?
                                                            
The lights dim, then brighten in one corner as The Hot Boy
enters, floating down from the ceiling. Behind him are
ladies in salon chairs holding blow dryers and scissors,
singing back up

follow
She blew a kiss, I swear that it

only for me, then spoke with her

her only goal is just to take
control
And I can't believe that I can´t
tell her no

[CHORUS]
That girl I can't take her
should have known she was a
heartbreaker
that girl I can't take her
should have seen right through her
she's a heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
should have seen it coming
heartbreaker
that girl I can't take her
should have seen right through her
she's a heartbreaker

She plays a game with such an
innocent face
I didn't know heartbreaking was
her case
Her actions confess and put me
through the test
I was surprised that I was caught
inside
Now she's thinking that I will
never know
ans she'll keep playing until I
let her go
But I hope in time that she will
finally realize
I'm onto her game and she'll get
played the same

[CHORUS 2x]

I never thought that I would stop
dreamin' about you
Stop being without you
But everyone told me so, to stop
caring about you
and start being without you
but I'll find a way to go and
start doin' without you
and stop talkin' about you

                       MICHAEL JACKSON (cont'd)
Under the moonlight you see a
sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes
the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror
looks you right between the eyes,
You're paralyzed
Chorus
cause this is thriller, thriller
night
And no ones gonna save you from
the beast about strike
You know its thriller, thriller
night
You're fighting for your life
inside a killer, thriller tonight

2nd verse
You hear the door slam and realize
there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder
if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that
this is just imagination
But all the while you hear the
creature creepin up behind
You're out of time

Chorus
cause this is thriller, thriller
night
There ain't no second chance
against the thing with forty eyes
You know its thriller, thriller
night
You're fighting for your life
inside of killer, thriller tonight

Bridge
Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in
their masquerade
There's no escapin' the jaws of
the alien this time
(they're open wide)
This is the end of your life

3rd verse
They're out to get you, there's
demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you
change the number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to

All through the night Ill save you
from the terror on the screen,
I'll make you see
Chorus
That this is thriller, thriller
night
cause I can thrill you more than
any ghost would dare to try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller
night
So let me hold you tight and share
a killer, thriller, chiller
Thriller here tonight

(rap performed by Vincent Price)
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize yawls neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of
hell
And rot inside a corpses shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

echo)

her place, as PJ holds Luscious back
                                                            
                       HUGGY
Do that dance, do that, Just, do
that!
                                                            
Mitchel and Gigi continue to step together and the crowd
backs up even further as they strut their stuff.

From the left side of the stage PJ, Huggy and JR are
planning and donning their costume masks
                                                            
                       HUGGY

PJ, Huggy and JR run into the middle of the floor. The music
stops. JR busts the "Jam" beat with his mouth. They are
wearing "Thriller"make up and break dancing. It only lasts a
few minutes and then they flee.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS

                       PRINCIPAL MICHAELS
We have you break dancers on video
and just because you are wearing
masks, don't think we won't figure
you out. We have CSI agents here
getting your footprints from the
gym floor. If you turn yourselves
in, we won't press charges.
                                                            
The Boiz are in class sliding down into their sits and
trying not to appear guilty.

Huggy, JR and PJ and getting out the trunk of Luscious car
                                                            
                       HUGGY
Yo, dudes, watch your domes.

The two Boiz run up to Regine and Kai
                                                            
                       KAI

                       WINNIE
      (looking passed PJ
       and Huggy)
Where is everybody?
                                                            
In Mitchel's car
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Billie Jean, stop trippin, I
apologized to you on the cell,
already
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Sure you did.
                                                            

116.

                       MITCHEL
You do believe me, don't you?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Yes, I do, but somehow, I think
you and Gigi use to talk.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
We didn't talk, we just talked, is
all.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Ain't that the same?!
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Uh, nuh.
                                                            
[movie] "Aoyama has lived as a widower for too long and
decides it's time to marry again. But how will he find a

Mitchel is attempting to remove his class ring and is having
trouble. He puts his finger in his mouth to moisten it. And
has success, but...
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
What? Ouch!
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Oh! [snickering] Oh, Billie Jean,
I am so sorry!
I-Billie Jean, uh, would you wear
my class ring?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Um, Mitchel, I am at a loss for
words.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Here's a word for you...yes?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Yes, okay, yes!
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Mmmm!
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Oh, Mitchel, this is the bomb. It
means that you have respect for
me.
                                                            
In the women's restroom
                                                            

117.

                       WINNIE
Wussup Meeks?
                                                            
Bumping into someone
                                                            
                       FEMALE
Yo, watch out!
                                                            
                       WINNIE
What is your problem?
                                                            
                       LADY M
I don't need to clean the guest
room.
                                                            
                       WINNIE
What?
                                                            
                       LADY M
Aunt Flo isn't visiting.
                                                            
                       WINNIE
O.M.G.! Are you preggers?
                                                            
                       LADY M
I.D.K., who cares, anyway?
                                                            
                       WINNIE
Is Luscious the baby daddy?
                                                            
                       LADY M
      (a bit annoyed)
No, you don't know the dude.
                                                            
                       WINNIE
Oh, yo, Meeks, look, it'll be
aiight. I caught Rock T tryna
slip me a mickey at the two-step
contest.
                                                            
                       LADY M
But Winnie, this stays between us
right?
                                                            
Already sending a text message about it
                                                            
                       WINNIE
      (looking guilty)
Right, yeah [texting] you know
[texting] who am I [texting] gonna
[texting] tell?
Watch out. Watch out now. New
mommy coming through.
                                                            

118.

Meeks looks back at Winnie with the evil eye
                                                            
                       JR
Yo Winnie, wutitdo?
                                                            
                       WINNIE
      (whispers)
Check your cell.
                                                            
Gets text about Meeks being pregnant and texts PJ, just as
Winnie and Lady M walk by. As they pass everyone in the
parking lot, the text is received and forwarded and
different M.J. tones are heard.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
      (to Lady M)
What's this about you being with
child?
                                                            
                       LADY M
      (looking back at
       Winnie again)
Oh, fo real?
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Is it true?
                                                            
                       LADY M
News travels fast, don't it?
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Why you ain't say nothin?
                                                            
                       LADY M
Why you all in my grill, huh?
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
I wanna to help you out.
                                                            
                       LADY M
Yeah...well, you helped me out
enough already!
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
      (very disappointed)
Yeah, well, I wanna be around,
unlike my daddy.
                                                            
                       LADY M
Don't worry, my brotha, you aren't
even the daddy.
                                                            

119.

                       LUSCIOUS
Thanks for nothing.
                                                            
                       LADY M
Hey, don't mention it.
                                                            
Back in Mitchel's car

[movie] "some or all of the faculty are aliens"
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Atchooo! [obviously faking]
                                                            
Mitchel puts his right arm around Billie Jean's shoulder
with the fake sneeze
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Have you been taking vitamin c?
You don't need to catch a cold.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Oh, uh ah, it's probably allergies
or some dust from the drive in
lot.
                                                            
[movie] "Whatever dude, the teachers are aliens, okay?"
                                                            
Mitchel pulls Billie Jean close and attempts to kiss her.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Mitchel!
                                                            
Billie Jean pulls away.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Billie Jean! I need you baby!
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Stop it right now! Get off of me!
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Billie Jean, no one can even see
us behind this glass. This is limo
tint.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Stop it this instant, Mitchel!
                                                            
Billie Jean exits the car
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
      (leaning toward
       passenger door
       and yells out)
            (MORE)

120.

                       MITCHEL (cont'd)
Billie Jean why-why you acting
like you don't want this? I
thought you was feeling me.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Feeling you? What have you been
sniffing? Give this to some one
who cares! [throws his class ring
at him and stomps off]
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
      (yells)
Billie Jean! You can't just foot
it out of the Drive In!
                                                            
Mitchel also gets out of the car. Still acting like he
doesn't care, he sings this song and we see flashes of him
frontin with his Boiz about Billie Jean and flashes of her
holding a baby that looks like him as he imagines what that
would be like, if it happened

Four walls wont hold me tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite

Chorus
If they say -
Why, why, tell em that is human
nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
If they say -
Why, why, tell em that is human
nature
Why, why, does he do me that way


LADY M LOOKS ACROSS THE LOT AND
SEES THE BOIZ GETTING READY FOR
THE RACE. SHE SEES LUSCIOUS AND
STEPS BEHIND A PILLAR SO HE DOES

                       LADY M (cont'd)
NOT SEE HER.


3rd verse
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere
See that boy
He knows I'm watching
He likes the way I stare

Chorus
If they say -
Why, why, tell em that is human
nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
If they say -
Why, why, tell em that is human
nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
I don't like livin this way
I like lovin this way
(instrumental section)
4th verse
Looking out
Across the morning
The city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out
I touch a shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street

Chorus
If they say -
Why, why, tell em that is human
nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
If they say -
Why, why, tell em that is human
nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
I don't like livin this way

                       LUSCIOUS

                       MIKO
You think some paint and new
wheels is gonna help you?
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
This is Speed Demon, my man!
                                                            
                       MIKO
I think you need a second opinion.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Whatever dude.
                                                            
                       MIKO
Whatever nothing! We're racing for
R.A.T.s!
                                                            
                       MITCHEL

                       MIKO
Not like the rodent, you nit
wit...Registration And Titles!
Duh!
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Oh, what?!
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Aiight, aiight, aiight, alright,

                       MIKO
Whoa...
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Relax, I got this, okay?
                                                            

128.

                       MIKO
[laughing out loud] Get a load of
this wise guy. L.M.A.O!
                                                            
Miko's girl gives him something and then plants a wet one on
his face.
                                                            
                       KAI
What was all that about?
                                                            
                       WINNIE
She gave him some of her public
hairs for good luck!
                                                            
                       KAI
You so nasty! Look, I found
something good for Luscious. A
pure silver dime heads up.
                                                            
                       WINNIE
Lemme see that!
                                                            
                       MRS. JONES
      (admiring the ride)
If she had wings, she could fly.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
She don't need em. She's gonna fly
anyhow.
                                                            
                       WINNIE
Lookie here Luscious, a good luck
charm for you.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Oh, how sweet. Thanks.
                                                            
                       WINNIE
      (she drops the
       silver dime)
Uh oh!
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Issallgood!
                                                            
                       WINNIE
My bad, yo.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
All good, ma.
                                                            
                       WINNIE
My bad.
                                                            

129.

                       LUSCIOUS
I got it! [bending over to pick it
up]
                                                            
                       WINNIE
Oh no!
                                                            
PJ opens Speed Demon's driver door as Luscious bends over to
pick up the dime. The door hits Luscious on the head.
Luscious falls to the ground, passed out
                                                            
                       HUGGY
You dodo bird!
                                                            
                       WINNIE
Oh man!
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Luscious!?
                                                            
                       WINNIE
Oh snap! Don't move him! His neck
may be broken.
                                                            
                       JR
Dang! He got knocked the freak
out!
                                                            
                       HUGGY
Aw man, what are we gonna do now?
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Luscious, come on homie, talk to
me. It's ya boy.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
      (coming to)
Huh? Oh wow. Ow.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
You aiight dawg?
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Oh, whoa...I'm good. I'm cool.
[holding his first two fingers
from his right hand to his right
temple]
                                                            
                       MRS. JONES
You ain't gonna be able to drive
like this.
                                                            

130.

                       LUSCIOUS
Yeah, no, I'm straight. I got
this, fa real. I'm seeing doubles,
though, yo.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Do you, uh, want me to, like drive

                       LUSCIOUS
That'd be cool. Yeah, that'd be
cool.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Aiight then, let's help Luscious
get up.
                                                            
                       JR
      (helping Luscious)
Winnie, help me.
                                                            
                       PJ
I am so sorry, man.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Your good, homes.
                                                            
Mitchel gets in driver's seat and starts engine. It revs
strong and sounds like a race car
                                                            
                       MIKO
      (interrupting
       impatiently)
We gonna do this or not?
We ain't got time for rules. First
one to the end of the dirt road
and back wins.
                                                            
                       MRS. JONES
Kick some major butt, youngin.
                                                            
                       MIKO
Your gonna be eating my dust,
Justice.
                                                            
Mitchel holds up two fingers and starts bending the index
down in slow motion. The camera moves away before he is
finished
                                                            
Miko and Mitchel drive their cars up to the mark. GiGi
stands in front of them and holds out her Burberry scarf.
She drops her hand, on the count of three. Music plays
"Speed Demon" instrumental as the two PT Cruisers race
                                                            

131.

                       LUSCIOUS
Take em Mitchel!
                                                            
                       REGINE
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
                                                            
                       GIGI
      (cheering on Miko)
You got it bebe!
                                                            
The cars weave in and out of the obstacles in the parking
lot. They have a few close calls and ram into one another
several times
                                                            
                       MIKO
      (ahead of Mitchel,
       barely)
I got you [saying to self, looking
at Mitchel]
                                                            
                       COBRAS
      (razzing the Boiz
       and Gurrlz)
Are you babies crying?
                                                            
                       REGINE
Yo momma!
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Whooo hooo!
                                                            
Mitchel is winning. He drives up the side of a truck and
keeps moving forward while on two wheels and barely squeezes
between two sets of lumber piles and a cement truck. he
lands on all fours just as he crosses the finish line. Miko
is behind him, to his right, so Mitchel looks over at him
and waves and mouths the words "Hi mom!"
                                                            
                       HUGGY
Whooo hooo!
                                                            
                       PJ
Yes!
                                                            
Mitchel wins the race and jumps out of the car. His crew
meets up with him
                                                            
                       JR
Mitchel, you're alright, man! I
don't care what anyone says about
you.
                                                            

132.

                       MITCHEL
      (happy and
       confused)
What's anybody saying?
                                                            
Everyone sings to the tune of "Jam"

He won the race
he's our hero
Mitchel Justice
whipped that zero
                                                            
Billie Jean is sitting atop one of the truck beds to get a
view, but not to be viewed. She jumps down and dusts herself
off. She is wearing a new outfit, but it isn't Baby Phat. It
is a cute little short set, however, but the shorts are long
down to her ankles.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (sings P.Y.T.
       slowly)
"I Want To Love You (P.Y.T.)
Pretty Young Thing
You Need Some Lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender Lovin' Care
And I'll Take You There"
                                                            
Regine sees Billie Jean and runs to her
                                                            
                       REGINE
Billie Jean! Mitchel won! That's
hot, right?
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
I see that.
                                                            
                       REGINE
What's wrong? This is a good
thing, right? He won.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
He won the race, but that isn't
good for me, now is it? Maybe you
could help me, though.
                                                            
                       REGINE
Fa sho, gurrl.
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
Can we go to your house?
                                                            
                       REGINE
Yeah, gurrl, come on.

                       BILLIE JEAN

       head)
"I Want To Love You (P.Y.T.)

                       REGINE

Let's go, Billie Jean!

EXT. EBONY FAIR - DAY
                                                            
[music] "Will You Be There" instrumental sped up two beats
                                                            
The gates open [loud cheering] as all the senior class enter
Ebony Fair Day at Six Flags Over Texas
                                                            
                       CHERRY
      (sitting outside
       the ticket gate
       at the park
       handing out park
       tickets)
Just one? [she asks Winnie]
                                                            

134.

                       WINNIE
Yes, just one, please.
                                                            
A few steps behind Winnie, holding their transcripts
                                                            
                       HUGGY
I am in shock. I am so in shock.
We flunked it. We actually flunked
physical education?
                                                            
                       PJ
I don't even recall taking
physical education.
                                                            
Inside the park, just inside the gate
                                                            
                       MRS. JONES
      (beckoning)
That's right everyone! The dunking
booth is right here. We are
raising money for the teacher's
retirement fund. Hit the bull's
eye and sink Coach Jackson!
                                                            
                       HUGGY
Coach Johnson, you gave the B-Boiz
F's? How could you do this to us?
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
      (perched on the
       dunking bench)
The B-Boiz...oh, yeah. You'll walk
once you finish summer school.
                                                            
                       PJ
Oh, what!? Summer school? I think
not! [grabs a softball and throws
it. The ball goes backward over
his shoulder]
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
And that would not have happened
if you had come to at least one
class.
                                                            
                       HUGGY
Oh yeah, you are talkin a whole
lot to be sitting on that bench.
                                                            
                       PJ
Not for long! Get em Huggy!
                                                            

135.

                       HUGGY
      (picking up
       softball)
How about that? [throws the ball
and it goes no where near the
target as the Coach laughs and
Franklin picks up a ball]
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
      (clowning)
Man, you wouldn't last one
practice!
                                                            
Franklin hits the bull's eye on the first try, with a swift
and hard throw
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
      (excited)
Who are you, young man? I need you
on my team.
                                                            
                       FRANKLIN
I'm Franklin. I'm a junior now.
                                                            
                       COACH JACKSON
      (climbing out of
       the water)
You should be a pitcher.
                                                            
                       FRANKLIN
Oh, thanks.
                                                            
Huggy wipes chocolate mousse on the edge of Franklin's nose
and on his glasses
                                                            
Another part of the park, Lady M is on the Superman ride.
Just as it comes down to the ground, Luscious spots her in
it
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Meeks! Yo, Lady M! Didn't you read
the sign? Pregnant women can't
ride that!
                                                            
                       LADY M
Oh, no, baby, there is no baby!
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
Huh?
                                                            
                       LADY M
I said I am not with child!
                                                            

136.

                       LUSCIOUS
[whistles the come here whistle a
few times]
Come down here and let me do this
the right way!
                                                            
                       LADY M
I don't believe you.
                                                            
                       LUSCIOUS
No, I'm serious!
                                                            
                       LADY M
I always imagined it differently,
but...
                                                            
Near the picnic area, some of the Boiz are eating sandwiches
and drinking juice. They are clothed in Phat Farm golf type
shorts, their jackets and matching solid color Vans.
                                                            
                       JR
Look, it's Justice!
                                                            
                       HUGGY
You can't be serious!
                                                            
                       PJ
O M G !
                                                            
                       JR
Yo, whoa, Mitchel!
                                                            
                       HUGGY
This isn't a costume party, man.
                                                            
                       PJ
Who's letter-man's sweater is
that?
                                                            
Mitchel is also wearing the golf shorts and Vans, but over
his t-shirt, is a new letter-man's sweater. With a couple
shiny pins on the left lapel.
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Whatev. While you bone heads were
off stalking the halls, I lettered
in Band. So what do you think
about that?
                                                            
                       HUGGY
This can't be happening. Mitchel
turned band nerd?
                                                            

137.

                       MITCHEL
Just cuz I'm in band, that doesn't
make me a nerd. Or anyone else for
that matter.
                                                            
                       JR
Well, are you leaving the B-Boiz?
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
You know, you guys can't play
follow the leader forever. You
have to become leaders yourselves.
You mean a lot to me, but Billie
Jean means even more and I don't
want to mess this up.
                                                            
Wolf whistles from near by and everyone turns to that
direction
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
Billie Jean!
                                                            
                       BILLIE JEAN
      (decked out in all
       Baby Phat, from
       head to toe)
I know you see it.
[showing off her temporary tattoo
of the Baby PHAT cat on her left
shoulder]
                                                            
Billie Jean sashays up to Mitchel, leans forward to kiss
him. He closes his eyes to kiss her and she turns and walks
away. Mitchel is left standing there leaning forward, about
to lose his balance. He figures out she isn't going to kiss
him, so he opens his eyes to see her strutting off. Just as
he is about to fall, he runs to catch up to her.

They enter and exit some of the rides as they sing. The
other students sing the chorus. They all dance some
choreography around the park, while the song plays. Couples
are shown throughout, holding hands, kissing cheeks, feeding
each other and singing to one another.

Mitchel and Justice turn to each other and lean in for a
kiss. The camera moves away just as their lips are about to
touch

                       REGINE
Loook! Meeks and Luscious are back
together again!
                                                            
Luscious and Meeks are kissing passionately, but we can not
see them clearly, as if the camera is blurring them
slightly.
                                                            
                       HUGGY
Cool!
                                                            
                       REGINE
Oh, wow! The gang is all here!
                                                            
                       WINNIE
Oh yes, but what will happen after
this? After we graduate?
                                                            
                       KAI
What if we never see each other
again?
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
That is not going to happen.
                                                            
                       JR
And just how do you know that for
sure?
                                                            
                       MITCHEL
I just know. You are all another
part of me and we are all a part
of each other.
