Othello Page #3

It was my great-grandmother's and

it's always been in my family.

It's supposed

to stay that way, but...

I feel like

we're already family.

Yo, Em, don't think

I forgot you.

I got the new Harlem's

Finest for you, baby.

Enjoy that, all right?

Come on, Emily's here.

I know.

We're not going to do anything.

I just like feeling

your skin next to mine, okay?

Come on.

My father's a smart man. But he's

never actually been through anything.

He acts like he's in control all

the time, but really he's just scared.

You never seem scared to me.

Are you asking me how

I got that scar on my back?

You do have

the best stories.

I was a C-section baby

and they cut too far.

My mom couldn't afford

a good doctor.

Are you serious?

I fell off my skateboard.

Are you crazy?

I get scared all the time.

- You do not.

- Yes, I do.

When?

When?

Okay.

The first time

I tried to talk to you,

I thought I was going

to faint, or something.

That's not true.

The second sentence out of your mouth

was, "Do you still have a boyfriend?"

I said I was scared.

I never said I couldn't

handle the pressure.

You know I've got

them player skills.

Oh, Ladies and Gentlemen

he's getting a little cocky.

Don't say "Iittle" and "cocky" in

the same sentence when it comes to me.

Especially

when you know the deal.

Shut up!

No, but you really

think I'm too cocky?

No, it's okay.

You should be.

- You pulled me, didn't you?

- Yes, I did.

Yes, indeed, I did.

I don't know how,

but you did it.

What do you mean,

you don't know how?

I pulled you 'cause

I'm that kind of n*gger.

Uh-oh. Don't be

acting like that.

See, I can say "n*gger"

cause I am a n*gger.

You can't 'cause you ain't.

Don't be jealous.

And why can't I say it?

My people invented the word.

You can't even think it.

You're the one

who started it.

You said I was so fine

you'd let me dress you up

and play Black Buck

Got Loose in the Big House.

Don't go repeating

that, all right?

If another Black person

knew I said that,

I could get my

suffering-Negro- league card revoked.

Then you'd better watch out, because

I've got some dirt on you, player.

Got some dirt on me, huh?

You better not

let that leak.

And now, your year 2000...

low country preparatory

league champion,

Palmetto Grove Hawks!

Push! Push!

Sh*t.

Injured on the floor.

Palmetto Grove's

number four, Odin James.

- Is he okay?

- They're doing a CAT scan right now,

so we'll see.

Don't worry.

Edmund, did you bring

the insurance card?

- I've got the card.

- So we're covered?

Mickey gets more kisses

from my girl than I do.

Could you stop being

a sarcastic a**hole just once?

I was joking,
