16 INT. THE BABYROOM--DAY Where we notice a large playpen with four babies. All

are dressed in Baby Guess, Air Jordans, and

Fila. One baby plays with a beeper that goes off as he puts it in his mouth.

This is the Baby Room, where the women leave their

children when they get their hair done. Start this shot off with a fine-ass

sistah with a baby in hand walking over to the crib.

THE DOORWAY Where we see a little boy about twelve years old standing in the

middle of these children. This is Baha, the errand

boy of the shop. Baba sits playing a Sega Game Gear, looking up from time to

time out the window and at the fine women that pass

by. Some of the older children attempt to distract him from his game.

BAHA:
Stop! Quit! (looking out the window, then goes to the doorway) Here she

comes!

THE SALON Where all the stylists and customers turn. They know what that means.

17 EXT JESSLE'S SALON--DAY We see a hand with keys in the frame. The owner of

these keys presses a button, which turns on

the car alarm. The license on her car reads Ms. BOOTE. At leg level we swing

around to walk toward the salon. In front of the door

stands a Panhandler with a sign in hand.

PANHANDLER:
Good morning, Jessie. Could you spare some change?!

JESSIE (O.S.):
Hell, naw! And get your dirty, smelly, unemployed ass out from in

front of my shop.

We move past the Panhandler and toward the front door of the shop.

17A INT JESSIE'S SALON-DAY BACK TO DOORWAY Where we see Jessie open her Fendi

purse to send Baha on an errand. Since

we are at chair level, we notice her shapely bottom half. She got much ass! IDEA

start on her purse being opened, then PAN over to

Baha as we hear Jessie offscreen.

JESSIE (O.S.):
Baha, do me a favor, baby, and go to the liquor store get me a

Honey Bun and a pack of-

BAHA (taking the money): Big Red. Yeah, I know.

WIDER As we see Baha take off for the store and Jessie turned around calling to

him.

JESSIE:
And bring me back my change!

She turns back around, and we see her face. Jessie is the owner of this shop.

She is the queen of the hootchies in tha hood. Her attire

puts the E in ethnic, as she is wearing the hottest, most expensive outfit that

can be bought at the Fox Hills Mall. She takes off her

sunglasses, and we can see her face.

JESSIE (in a good mood): Good morning, everybody.

ANOTHER ANGLE As Jessie walks across the room and to the corner. All the women

in the shop are looking at her funny.

JESSIE (sweetly): What?! What? (vicious) What y'all looking at? I know I'm Ane,

but damn! Get back to work.

THE SALON Where everybody goes about their business.
