EDDIE
Hey, watch it!
SPLIFF
Sorry, dude!
EDDIE
Meh, good enough.
BACK TO SCENE
Spliff stops running, sits down at the bus stop bench and
pulls out a drumstick to stare at.
SPLIFF
Man, I love me some chicken.
SPLIFF
(scooting over)
Oh, sorry.
BAND MEMBER #1
(chuckling)
See you got yourself some yardbird, huh?
Spliff laughs.
SPLIFF
Yeah, totally. Happy halloween, dude!
I was just digging in, you want some?
BAND MEMBER #1
On our way to a party. Our ride broke down.
Broke-ass manager made us take the bus. Gotta
save my appetite.
SPLIFF
(eating)
Mmm, extra crispy.
SPLIFF
Hey Lucius, what’s up bro?
LUCIUS
What up, Spliff?
SPLIFF
Don’t look now but I think he likes you.
LUCIUS
(standing)
Aww, hell naw!
SPLIFF
H-hey, my chicken!
BAND MEMBER #1
That’s just cold.
Lucius stands wiping himself, turns to face Spliff and
Chicken Man.
LUCIUS
My bad Spliff but…
(shouting)
…y’all quit playin’!
LUCIUS
You know how expensive it is to get
chicken grease out a tracksuit?
SPLIFF
I thought its polyester.
LUCIUS
That's not the point.
JOEY
You wanna hear our latest jam?
LUCIUS
(Muttering)
No.
GUIDO
Aw yeah, Joey we know what time it is.
Hock a loogie and hit that beat.
Joey snorts and spits near Lucius and Chicken Man. Chicken
Man and Guido back up.
JOEY
Sorry. I usually spit for distance.
LUCIUS
Now these fools gonna act up.
GUIDO
(rapping)
I ain’t no one hit wonder, I bring
the thunder. Ladies love when I take
them asunder. You mess with me you
take on the best…
(lifting his shirt)
who else you know sportin’ this kinda
chest?
LUCIUS
(shouting)
Aiight, enough! I done told you two
Iroc-Z28 I don’t make the rules of
the club. You gotta talk to the talent
manager. I’m just the bouncer. Now
y’all back up or I’m gonna be whuppin’
some ass!
A bus drives past leaving the bus stop empty except for
Lucius. Lucius looks around with a menacing snarl.
LUCIUS
Yeah.
LUCIUS
And don’t let this happen again. Fool!
