Int. Bedroom of a Bayou Mansion- Night
HOLLY CLAY wakes up with a start in a beautifully decorated bedroom. She sits up, realizing that she is wearing a princess gown, think Tiana from The Princess and The Frog.
HOLLY
Where am I?
A grandfather clock strikes midnight in the corner. Holly gets up from the bed as there is a knock on the door. She races to the door and opens it to see CANE THE KAPPA on the porch. He is wearing a black and maroon suit and tails, and his hair is long, down to his waist.
HOLLY
Whoa. Did you get a relaxer?
CANE
I did. What do you think?
HOLLY
I can dig it daddy.
CANE
Good, because this Just for Me is just for you.
Cane enters the house as the chopped and screwed version of "Cupid" by 112 blares from someplace upstairs. He then begins to shimmy the 100 feet to the dining room. They have a seat at a long dining room table, think Beauty and the Beast.
HOLLY
Wow. This is gorgeous. I just...I don't know how I got here.
CANE
I guess the question is, how do any of us really get anywhere?
HOLLY
Uh...walking. Running. Skipping.
CANE
(tossing his outrageously long hair over his shoulder)
Or by floating on the wings of your love.
HOLLY
Ah Cane, that's so-
There is a loud knock on the front door.
HOLLY
Who the hell is it?!
Holly kicks off her crystal flats and slides to the door. She opens it to find CAPTAIN MORGAN.
HOLLY
Captain Morgan?! What do you want?
CAPTAIN MORGAN
Hey Holly. I just wanted to say that I am sorry.
HOLLY
Sorry for what?
CAPTAIN MORGAN
Nothing. I just heard that you like to hear men apologize for stuff.
HOLLY
True dat. But I'm in the middle of something here.
CAPTAIN MORGAN
Listen, I'm married. You don't know my wife, but just know that she's a baddie.
HOLLY
Of course.
CAPTAIN MORGAN
But I did want you to know that if I would have known your feelings for me your freshman year, I would have dropped that Miss Xavier and got with you.
HOLLY
No, you wouldn't have.
CAPTAIN MORGAN
No, I wouldn't have. But overlooking you was cold. Some may even say it was ice cold.
HOLLY
Alright. Okay. See you later bro.
Holly slams the door shut and races back to the dining room which has been transformed into a ballroom. Cane is twirling his kane to the slowed version of "Rain" by SWV. She steps on to the ballroom floor as diamonds begin to rain from the ceiling.
HOLLY
Diamonds!
CANE
Not just any diamonds. Kappa diamonds.
HOLLY
What is the difference between a real diamond and a Kappa diamond?
CANE
I don't know. What's the difference between a bad wig and a so-so sew-in?
HOLLY
Can I touch your kane?
CANE
That depends. Are your hands clean?
HOLLY
As clean as they're gonna be.
The two race towards each other but stop midway as they hear "I'm in Love" by Ginuwine blaring from outside. Holly rushes to the window to see SPHINXIE VAN NO-STEP standing in the rain with a large boom box.
CANE
Man...you have a lot of dudes coming around here.
HOLLY
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I will get rid of him.
Holly walks out a side door and the bayou has been transformed into a desert. She reaches out her hand. Snow is falling.
HOLLY
Sphinxie, it's freezing!
SPHINXIE
Is it? I can't tell, I have an icebox where my heart used to be!
That's all for now
