CUT TO:
EXT. CLOSE UP:
BASKETBALL COURT - NIGHTA BASKETBALL bounces off the cement, SNEAKERED FEET scramble
past.
EXT. BASKETBALL COURT - NIGHT
JUDGE drives in for a basket, pursued by CY. It's a friendly
three on three street game. The MARKET STREET DRINKERS --
including ROSE -- fill out Cy and Judge's teams.
Young neighborhood MEN watch the game and shoot the sh*t.
One of them, JAMAL, sports a beard and a DASHIKI.
Somewhere a RADIO plays James Brown's "Say it Loud"
EXT. BASKETBALL COURT - NIGHT
Gliding around Cy, Judge sinks a basket. ROSE retrieves the
ball.
ROSE:
You supposed to be a wounded vet,
Motherfucka. What you do in 'Nam
anyway, shoot gooks or shoot hoops?
JUDGE:
All of the above, man...
(a pause)
And then some.
Shaking off the memory, Judge takes the ball in, PASSING it
to a teammate. The BALL arcs through the air...
EXT. BASKETBALL GAME - NIGHT
HANDS grab the ball before the teammate can. TYRONE'S hands.
The GAME stops dead. Tyrone holds the ball, eyeing the players
with contempt. At his side stands LITTLE BOBBY (16) hyper,
childlike.
TYRONE:
Tell me, don't you fine black men
got anything better to do than play
games?
ROSE:
Sure I do, but your sister's busy.
Gimme the damn ball.
Tyrone passes the ball HARD to Rose.
TYRONE:
Here... Take it. I thought some
righteous brothers like you might
help us out, but I guess that ain't
you...
JAMAL:
(stepping forward)
Help who? With what?
TYRONE:
Your community! That's who. Maybe
you didn't know but a kid died today.
LITTLE BOBBY:
That's three this year... same spot.
