CUT TO: DOWNTOWN DISTRICT
EXT. CHARLIE'S BURGERS - EARLY NIGHT
DRAY'S STOMACH GROWLS AS HE BEGINS TO WALK INTO CHARLIE'S
[Dray]
(Thinking)
Oh, man. I haven't eaten anything since lunchtime at school. I'm actually kind of glad that Maurice invited me to this little get-together.
[Maurice]
(From seating area)
Yo, Dray!
DRAY TURNS TO FIND MAURICE STANDING AGAINST A LIGHT POLE NEAR A SEATING AREA. DRAY WALKS OVER TO WHERE MAURICE IS.
[Dray]
What're you doin'? Are you gonna get something to eat?
[Maurice]
Nigga I didn't tell you to come out here to eat.
[Dray]
Hmm, I find it weird that you called me out here at all considering what went down the other day.
[Maurice]
Yeah, me too. After you left me out to dry, I really didn't want to see your punk face. Just looking at you now makes me want to puke.
[Dray]
Well, it was good to see you too. I'm actually kinda hungry so I'm just gonna—!
[Maurice]
I wasn't done talking!
[Dray]
Okay...—!
[Maurice]
It must be really nice to just walk away, huh? You turned your back on me without a second thought. Must really think you're better than me, huh?
[Dray]
I never said that.
[Maurice]
You didn't have to. You couldn't be there for one lousy drop. You didn't even try.
[Dray]
Dude, I told you. I'm not getting involved in this stuff. There are other choices out there man. You don't have to do this.
[Maurice]
I'm not breaking my back for some cooperation or trying to play pseudo-slave and doing yard work. I've got more pride than that! My life should be better than that! I'm worried about getting the paper. I also wanted to tell you that everything went better than expected and I got something extra for my troubles. Something maybe you would have got if you weren't such a weak-hearted punk!
MAURICE AND DRAY HAVE A STARE DOWN WITH DRAY GLARING AT MAURICE AND MAURICE SMIRKING SMUGLY AT DRAY. A COP CAR PULLS INTO THE PARKING LOT OF CHARLIE'S, PARKS NEAR DRAY AND MAURICE, AND GETS OUT OF HIS CAR BEGINNING TO WALK OVER TO WHERE THE DUO IS.
[Cop#1]
Hey, you two, I need to see some I.D.
[Dray]
I.D.? Dude, I don't have I.D. I'm 15.
[Cop#1]
Really? Isn't that convenient?
[Dray]
Guess so.
[Cop#1]
What about your friend?
[Maurice]
Sorry, I don't have any ID either. I left my wallet at home.
[Cop#1]
