KOREAN CLERK:
You buy 'nother beer.
11.
DA MAYOR:
Alright. Alright. Y'know you're
asking a lot to make a man change
his beer, that's asking a lot,
Doctor.
EXT:
MOTHER SISTER'S STOOP--DAYDa Mayor has his can of beer (not Budweiser) and the brown
paper bag is twisted into a knot at the bottom. He stops
and takes a long swig.
MOTHER SISTER:
You ole drunk. What did I tell ya
about drinking in front of my stoop?
Move on, you're blocking my view.
Da Mayor lowers the can from his mouth and looks up at his
heckler. It's obvious from the look on his face he's heard
this before. Da Mayor contorts his face and stares at her.
MOTHER SISTER:
You ugly enough. Don't stare at me.
Da Mayor changes his face into a more grotesque look.
MOTHER SISTER:
The evil eye doesn't work on me.
DA MAYOR:
Mother Sister, you've been talkin'
'bout me the last eighteen years.
What have I ever done to you?
MOTHER SISTER:
You're a drunk fool.
DA MAYOR:
Besides that. Da Mayor don't
bother nobody. Nobody don't bother
Da Mayor but you. Da Mayor just
mind his business. I love everybody.
I even love you.
MOTHER SISTER:
Hold your tongue. You don't have
that much love.
DA MAYOR:
One day you'll be nice to me. We
might both be dead and buried, but
you'll be nice. At least civil.
12.
Da Mayor tips his beat-up hat to Mother Sister and takes a
final swig of beer just for her.
INT:
TINA'S APARTMENT--DAYAn elderly Puerto Rican woman, CARMEN, is telling off her
daughter TINA in Spanish. Tina, having heard enough, closes
the door on her mother's ranting and raving.
ANGLE--TINA
Tina bends down and scoops her baby son HECTOR up from the
bed and holds him for dear life to her breasts. She talks
to her son while walking around the room.
TINA:
Hector, I shouldn't be telling you
this but you would find out sooner
or later. Ya father ain't no real
father. He's a bum, a two-bit bum
in a hundred-dollar world. Your
father is to the curb. You're
smart. I see that look on ya face.
You're saying if he's such a bum
why am I with him? Good question.
Like I said before, you're no dummy.
He talked his way into my panties,
I thought being a mother would make
me happy, make me whole. He's a
mistake, but you are not.
Tina kisses her son. Tina is seventeen years old, another
teenage parent.
EXT:
STREET CORNER--DAYEvery day on this corner, summer or winter, spring or fall,
a small group of men meet. They have no steady employment,
nothing they can speak of; they do, however, have the gift
of gab. These man can talk, talk, and mo' talk, and when a
bottle is going round and they're feeling "nice," they get
philosophical. These men become the great thinkers of the
world, with solutions to all its ills; like drugs, the
homeless, and AIDS. They're called the Corner Men: SWEET
