Dear White People Page #4
They turn the corner to spot Troy greeting more new
Sophomores. Coco’s caught off guard by his looks.
COCO:
Cute...
(off Sofia’s jealous
glance)
...for a Black boy.
Troy sees Sofia and flashes his trademark grin. They kiss.
SOFIA:
Hey boo. This is my friend Coco.
She’s new to the house.
TROY:
Hey I’m Troy. Welcome to Armstrong
/ Parker, home of the dopest --
SOFIA:
-- Are we on duty?
TROY:
Head of House is always on duty.
COCO:
Nice to meet you. I should get
settled. Thanks Sof!
Sofia and Troy smile as Coco turns to go - and continue down
the hallway. Coco sneaks one last glance at Troy’s ass.
TROY:
Think I got time for a quick cut?
SOFIA:
You got it cut last week.
TROY:
SOFIA:
Since when is OCD a Black thang?
TROY:
Don’t say “thang” like that.
SOFIA:
Besides you’ve got a shift at the
Politicos booth, then a shift at
Orientation, then your advisor --
10.
TROY:
-- I’ll just wear a hat.
SOFIA:
Then a movie maybe? Just us?
TROY:
Election night. Babe, come on.
Sofia holds her tongue. Troy ignores this as he spots...
TROY (CONT’D)
Yo, Kurt my man.
14 DINING ROOM - CONTINUOUS 14
...Kurt Fletcher - flanked by guys who share his cynical
knowing glare. We recognize them from the “Pastiche” portrait
from before.
As they chow down on Mac & Cheese in the Dining Hall - Kurt’s
glare burns particularly hot towards Troy who waves at him.
KURT:
Sis.
Sofia smiles at her brother Kurt. Troy covers the sting of
his dismissal.
They both spot Sam’s “Missing: Black culture” flyers.
TROY:
Is she kidding with this?
SOFIA:
You don’t have to run again. Just
because it’s her doesn’t mean -
TROY:
-- I can’t let Sam and her wannabe
Black Panthers take the House. The
House needs me. This is who I am.
SOFIA:
It’s who he wants you to be.
Troy smiles over his irritation. This is an old fight.
TROY:
Oh so you pick up a Psych class you
think you Freud or something? Huh?
SOFIA:
A Freud reference. Sophisticated.
11.
TROY:
(seducing)
Fine Beck, Jung, Maslow...
Troy gets a kiss out of her as they pass a booth featuring
stacks of Sam’s “EBONY & IVY.” The booth is manned by REGGIE,
21, Black - his fro top and preppy punk attire is both
bohemian and radical.
Troy glares at Sam’s picture on the book. It’s on. There’s a
history between Sam and Troy. Off Reggie’s laptop we hear...
SAM (O.S.)
Dear White People, this just in.
Dating a Black person to piss off
your parents is a form of racism.
Sofia walks off as Troy hears snickers from around him.
REGGIE:
Yo Troy I forget. Is your major in
shucking or was it jiving?
