"First Time 4 Everything"
Scene 1
"I wassss a little diff-erent!...I didn't do, what the best girls do! You studied my rhythm!...you could speed me up if you wanted to, oooo!..."
Vernon's Apartment-Interior-Kitchen
Julian is in the kitchen, fixing plates of food and listening to Vernon's Ipod speakers, "I Decided" by Solange is playing.
Julian
(singing)
"Iiiii deeeecided...that youuuu, areeeee the him, for meee!
"Vernon comes out of the bedroom in his pajama pants and a wifebeater, leaning against the doorway as he watches Julian prepare breakfast for them. He smiles as he looks at him. This has been really cool, spending the past few days with Julian and being more than just friends. Julian turns around with the food in his hands, seeing Vernon.
Julian
You're up!
Vernon
(smiling)
Yesss, I'm up.
He puts his arms around Julian's waist, kissing him on the lips lightly and than the kiss deepens. Julian pulls away as he feels himself getting more into it.
JulianNo, no, no, none of that in the morning, I've already broken ONE of your expensive dishes because of...physical things like this in the kitchen and ummmm...I don't got it like that.
Julian sets the food down on the table and than goes back over to Vernon, putting his arms around him.
Julian
Now...
Vernon kisses him lightly on the lips.
Vernon
Now, can we EAT baby? I'm starving. And...I don't wanna eat your lips, edible looking and tasty, as they are.
Julian
You're ALWAYS starving...
(smiles big)
And I LOVE it!
(hugs Vernon tightly)
I have a Hungry Man!
Vernon laughs, Julian lets him go and they sit down to eat. Vernon starts eating and his facial expression says that he's enjoying the food a lot.
Vernon
(mouth full)
You pfuth your footh in dis, baby!
Julian
You might wanna--put the FOOD in your mouth?
(laughs slightly)
Cause waking up at seven a.m. just so you can decorate the table with my hard work? Not happening, buddy.
Vernon swallows his food and wipes his mouth with a napkin. Suddenly, he starts coughing, his eyes go wide...he's choking!
Julian
(scared)
Oh no, I killed you! This can't happen, I just FOUND you!
Julian runs behind Vernon, wrapping his arms around his mid-section.
Julian
I don't know...
(pushes Vernon's stomach)
What I'm doing!
(pushes it again)
Just...
(pushes one more time)
Doing what I see on tv!
Vernon
(smiling)
You tryna a cop a feel? All you gotta do is ask, freak nick!
Vernon turns around and hugs Julian, picking him up in the air slightly, he was just playing. Julian doesn't look at all amused by Vernon's little stunt.
Julian
That was SO not cool! Choking is a serious thing, people get broken ribs like that!
Vernon puts him down.
Vernon
From choking?
Julian
From administrating the improper Hiemlock manuveur! DON'T you watch that show on MTV, "Scared"?
Vernon
You mean--"Scarred", right? The one with all the hot accidents?
(excited)
Bones be popping out, people be having seizures...now that I think about it, I don't know if they can be showing that on tv.
Julian
I always thought it was called "Scared" cause...that show scares the hell outta me, they give ANYBODY a show these days...even them little pageant girls got a show, how come I don't got a show?
Vernon just stares up him, soaking up all things Julian.
Vernon
(smiling)
You're so odd.
Julian
Is that a...
Julian sits down on the couch, unsure of what Vernon means.
Julian
Good thing or a bad thing? Cause "odd" can mean "strange" or "weird" or but it can also mean like peculiar and interesting. Kinda like "fierce" can mean, good or bad, why are there so many meanings for one word? It makes things a lot more complicated.
Vernon sits down next to him, putting his hand on Julian's leg.
Vernon
I'm talking about the "peculiar, interesting" and sometimes...
(thinks)
Would "cuckoo"--be one of those double meaning words?
Julian
(offended)
You think I'm crazy?! Well, I never...
(thinks)
Unless you meant "cuckoo" like--zany, wacky, silly...
Vernon
(laughs)
I wanna take you on a date.
Julian
(a shocked)
A what?!
Scene cuts to...
Darnell's Office-InteriorZ is standing by Darnell's big "window with a view", reading something from the dictionary.
Z
(reading)
A "date"; a social appointment, engagement, or arrangement beforehand with another person. Girl, I don't know why you buggin' for, that's simple!
Julian is sitting down on the chair in front of Darnell's desk, apparently he's been freaking out about his date with Vernon on Friday.
Darnell
Are you sure Vernon can even--afford dinner at a five star? BEFORE he got fired from SoHo, he could BARELY afford to pay attention.
Julian
Will you stop ragging on my boyfriend?
Darnell
I'll stop ragging when he stop bagging! The boy might as well be one of them cute teenagers who bag your groceries at the supermarket, you know, the "food organizers".
Z
You not worried about your cute as hell, ABOVE sickning, bordering SLIGHTLY on--government genetically enhanced beautiful, boo--working at a gay club?
Julian
(clueless)
No.
(scared)
Should I--be?
Z sees that Julian is worried now and he does NOT want to open those can of worms.
Darnell
(pause)
Should you what? Worry that your man is living off of tips, flirting, and a weekly salary that can BARELY pay for my weekly shoe shopping extravaganzas? Yeah, YOU should be worrying.
Julian sighs, Darnell doesn't understand.
Julian
Will you ever just--stop judging people on how much money they make or--or the clothes, they can afford to buy?
Darnell
It's NOT judging! I just don't--deal with men who make less than me, that's all...or men who drive American cars, cause you KNOW that means that means they broke and will eventually break down on highway 46 and I will NOT be pumping the shoulder.
Z
So I'm still confused, mary, maybe ya lost me somewhere when I was dazing out--
(smiles; distracted)
Thinking bout my birthday celebration and what my husband's going to give me.
(apologetic; to Julian)
Sorry girl, my presents are a lilll more important than your date with your boyfriend. And why are you so freaked out again? I mean, ever since you and Terrance broke and he went on that tour, you and Vernon have been like--Siamese twins joined at the ASS.
Darnell
THAT'S the man you NEEDED to be with, he's gonna have coins! But nooo, you wanna go with the lower income man in 2009--I oughta slap you to the middle of next year...ya might get some sense.
Julian
(ignoring Darnell)
Because it's--Vernon and...we haven't really done the whole--couple thing. Outside in public. This will be like our first time doing something together as...boyfriends. I mean cooking breakfast for him, playing video games, watching movies in the house are one thing but...Vernon's never been with a guy before.
Darnell
That you KNOW of.
Julian
He TOLD me I'm the first. Don't hate cause YOUR man is still struggling to commit to you.
Z
Ooooooo, somebody feeling their "OOSY" now that THEY are no longer single.
Darnell looks shocked that Julian would talk to him that way while Julian laughs at Z. Though, he does feel a little more...confident in himself now that he has the man of his dreams.
Julian
THAN on top of all that, have you seen him? Vernon turns heads wherever he goes and since he's formally "straight"...
Darnell
Uh uh, not that straight, I seen them nails he got manicured to the fullest!
Julian
I'm gonna be competing not only with other guys but...I feel like I got the women on my ass now too. You KNOW they treat the gays like the white women stealing "alll the good black men" cause of the whole "down low" craze.
Z
Well hunnay, you just tell em like I tell him, its not YOUR fault. He won't leave it, if he want it so you better let him check him on up it.
Julian laughs but doesn't get it. Darnell looks confused.
Darnell
How does that have to do with the stereotype of white women taking black men and the down low phenomenon?
Z
(thinks)
I don't know but it just sounded keyyyy-uuute!
End Scene
-How do you think Julian and Vernon's date will turn out?

*Z's Thoughts* on Ep. 9
Love isn't something that people think it is. Everyone wants to "be in love", "get a boo", "be wifey"...but let me tell you, being wifey is NOT for the birds! It's for the strong hearted who have to deal with taking care of business and letting the hoes know you aint having it...sorry, got carried away. But, the days' events in jail were fruitful (I LOVE using them words, honey)...I feel as though in some way I'm responsible for Julian finally snagging his "Apple Pie A La Man". And Vernon isn't bad but I really liked Terrence for Julian too, no flip flopping. However, I'm surprised that the boy was able to get this far with the "formerly straight" guy...maybe he can be in my next show.
Stony. Stony. As I look at my boo sleeping, I wonder if he really wants to be here. Or if he wants to be with a man thats more manly than me but if that is such the case than he can get the hell out...even though this is his momma's subletted apartment! But he told me that he wants to be with me, and I'm still here while Kaiseem has been deported to a not so nice neighborhood, thank to the sickening lesbian cop at the police station! I just want things to be the way that they were, before Kaiseem and Stony's lie...will it ever be right again? xoxox Muahz.

Ep. 9, Scene 7 *Vernon's Choice*
Julian's House-Outside-Porch"
And alllll I know is, when we're to-gether. No one can make me feel, the way you do, babyyy. I wishhh each moment, could lasstttt for-ev-er. It's hard to explain, the way I feel for you, I just can't find the words...""Can't Find The Words" by Karina Paisan plays in the background. Julian and Terrance are sitting on Julian's porch, both looking sad.
Julian
(pause)
I...I didn't have a clue that when I first met you that day, speed dating, that you would...
Terrance
Act like I aint got no sense and get myself thrown in the slammer?
(smiles slightly)
Yeah, I didn't see that one coming either.
They both have something they want to say but neither one wants to say it.
Terrance
(pause)
Do you wanna be with him?
Julian knows who he's talking about and doesn't want to answer...but he owes Terrance the truth.
Julian
(pause)
Yes.
That hurts but...Terrance has known that for some time.
Terrance
(pause)
Are you...willing to risk--putting everything on the line for him? Heart, mind, body, soul? Love?
It hurts Julian to answer but he has to.
Julian
Yes.
Terrance nods his head, tears slowly welling up in his eyes as he begins to realize the worst. Julian has tears in his own eyes as well and he reaches over, wiping Terrance's tears with his fingers.
Julian
You are...an amazing and wonderful man. And...you're the greatest boyfriend I've ever had.
Terrance
I'm just not THE boyfriend you wanna have.
Julian's tears start to fall even more now, realizing it's over with Terrance because he's right. He wants Vernon.
Julian
I'm...the worst kind of person, I know. I said I would never hurt somebody the way I've been hurt in the past and...I did it to you of all people.
Terrance
(wiping Julian's tears; hugs him tightly)
Hey, hey, don't say that, alright? You acting like this is goodbye or something. We gonna see each other again.
(smiles)
And...you'll get to hear me every night at 11 o' clock. Just tune into your radio.
Julian
(pause; than smiles)
You got the show?
Terrance
Got the call a couple days ago. Gotta fly out this weekend, big radio dj tour thing cross the country. I was...gonna ask you to come with me buttt...
A car pulls up...it's Vernon's! He gets out of the car. Julian is happy but confused to see him.
Terrance
You got your own appointment with destiny.
Julian
(confused)
Vernon? What are you...
Terrance gets up from the porch.
Terrance
Love makes you do the wacky, I guess cause...I called him.
(looks at Vernon)
THAT'S your dude, Julian. In here.
(kisses Julian's forehead)
And in here.
(touches Julian's heart)
Terrance kisses Julian on the cheek one last time.
Terrance
(pause)
I love you, Julian Christopher.
Terrance walks up to Vernon.
Terrance
That right hook will come back to hit you in the face again first time I find out you stepped outta line, ight homie?
Vernon nods, respecting Terrance. Terrance gets in his car, puts to fingers to his lips and "air kisses", making a "peace sign with his fingers like LL Cool J. Terrances drives off. Julian watches the car go and than his eyes go to Vernon. Vernon walks up the steps, stopping short, standing in front of Julian, a small smile on his face.
Vernon
Feels like it...took me forever to get here.Julian bites his lip, taking Vernon's hand and smiling.
Julian
Me too but...at least we got here together.
Vernon
I'd be...lying if I said...I wasn't scared to death right now.
Julian
(nodding)
So would I. But now...we can be scared together.
Vernon likes the sound of that. He leans in and kisses Julian Christopher...his man. "Can't Find The Words" closes out the scene as it fades to black with Julian and Vernon kissing, finally staking their claim in each other's life.
"I just can't find the wordsss, you got me losing myself, in what I'm trying to say and it's so hard
to fight it, can't help but feeling this way..."
End of Episode.
Is Terrence gone for good?
Will Julian and Vernon make it on this new journey?
Do you think Vernon still likes girls?

"Baby, there's nothingggg I wouldntttt do. To geeet back, whatttt, we haaad, when looove was, trueeeee. Don't liiiie, I'd give up all I've gotttt. Juuust so I, can get, back in my, spottttt, ohhh, ohhh I NEED YOU BAD AS A HEARTBEAT!..."
Darnell's House-Interior-Bedroom"Need U Bad" by Jazmine Sullivan opens the scene. Darnell is getting ready for bed, brushing his hair in the mirror. Malik comes out of the bathroom, rubbing his hair with a towel and than throw it on the bed, going behind Darnell and grabbing him around the waist, kissing his neck. Darnell smiles, enjoying it and Malik takes him to the bed, Darnell hits the lights on the way.
Darnell
I don't know what it is about you, Mr.Kyle but...I THINK...that I might want you in my bed for an indefinite period of time.
Malik(playing with Darnell's stomach)You want me to be your--permanent bed buddy?
Darnell sits up, looking serious.
Darnell
No. I just want you to be permanent.
Malik knows what Darnell means and pauses for a moment. Darnell doesn't say anything, knowing he put a lot out there just now and doesn't know what to expect.
Malik
And...I wanna be. I've been thinking about this for awhile, now that I know you're serious about us...I can give you this.
Malik goes into the drawer and pulls out an envelope, handing it to Darnell who gets excited.
Darnell
Gifts! You know JUST how to get to my heart...
(starts opening it)
It feels like...
Darnell opens the envelope and pulls out a credit card.
Darnell
An Amex? I already got my own, hello? I'm on American Express' "Do Call Every Time There's A New Level Of Credit Card" list.
Malik
Ten thousand dollars. Shopping spree. On me.
Darnell's eyes go wide and he jumps up and down in the bed, excited as hell about this. He than jumps on Malik but is so excited, the two fall to the floor.
End of Scene.

Ep. 9, Scene 5 *Judge Z*
Scene 5
Jail-Interior-Holding Cell
Z is sitting on the bench with her legs crossed, looking very "professional". Vernon and Terrance are standing on separate sides of the cell, both looking like they're deep in thought.
Z
(to Vernon)
So...YOU have feelings for Julian.
Terrance
You gotta keep throwing at in my face, Z?
Z
I'm not throwing anything in anybody's face but you're both here because you have feelings for the same guy and THAT'S not gonna work for too much longer as you can see, exhibits...
(points at both Vernon and Terrance)
A and B.
Terrance
Than tell ol' boy to stop being in my boo's face every chance he gets.
(to Vernon; annoyed)
You like one of them shoe flies, STAY bothering, yo.
Vernon ignores Terrance, talking to Z.
Vernon
Yeah...I got feelings for Julian.
Z
So you're gay now?
Vernon
Do we gotta use labels? I like him, I KNOW that now. I can ADMIT that now, it's not as easy as you and your friends think. It's a step.
Z
If you CARE about Julian? If you wanna BE with Julian?
(to Terrance)
And--I'm NOT saying that he is.
(to Vernon)
Than it IS that easy, Vernon. And Terrance is willing to give Julian that, he HAS given Julian that. What are you willing to give?
Vernon thinks about that...what is he ready to give for Julian?
Terrance
Yeah PAT-NAH!
(crosses arm)
What you got on THAT? Julian KNOWS who he is and I LOVE who he is. Can you say the same? Can you walk down the street with him and hold his hand? Kiss him in public? Make LOVE to him?
Vernon
You not saying nothing I never did before...or never thought about doing. I've WALKED down the street with Julian before he even knew you, without a problem. I've HELD his hand, at the movies, when we went to go see "Prom Night"--he jumped at the part when...
Terrance
(finishing his sentence)
The killer jumps through the mirror.
Terrance is a little thrown off, he never really knew of Vernon's history with Julian or that they had done things that HE had done with Julian.
Vernon
I KISSED him in front of a club full of people, just to show him that I could. And that I WASN'T scared. And when the day comes, if he gives me the opportunity? I'll show him how I feel physically...I don't think you need me to go into more than that for you. Unless you want details.
Z looks like she's enthralled by the conversation before her.
Z
Ohhhh, this is just like "Oz" when Adebesi and that muslim guy had the final showdown in teatown...neither one of ya'll got a shank, on you, do you?
Terrance
So what you saying? If Julian gave you a chance to be the man that he needed you would be it? You would protect his heart? Make sure he never got hurt? Try and give him the world?
Vernon
(pause)
Julian's the one that needs to be asking me that question. And IF he DOES...Julian's the one I'll be giving the answer too.
Z is amazed that Vernon really does seem like he wants to be with Julian and willing to go the extra mile, even she doesn't know what to say or do now. Julian and Stony walk in, going over to the bars. Z runs to the bars, happy to see them.
Z
Hiiiii guys!
(holds out cup)
Cappucino?
Stony
You behind bars. I wish we had one of these in the house to just...throw you in when you get on my nerves.
Z makes a face at him. Julian sees Terrance and Vernon, unsure of what to say to either of them since he hasn't seen either man since "Sickning & In Demand".
Julian
I...posted bail for both you guys so, you're free!
The female officer comes and opens the cell, letting Z, Terrance, and Vernon out. Z grabs onto Stony, hugging him tightly. Vernon looks at Julian who can't look him in the eyes...not in front of Terrance.
Vernon
(to Z)
You guys...think you could give me a ride? Car's still at the parking lot at the gym.
Terrance
So's mine.
Julian
Than I guess we, all need a ride.
Z
(sighs)
THIS should be fun.
The five of them start to all walk out of the police station.
Stony
I'm just letting you know NOW, I don't want know blood stains in my car! There will be no UFC championship going on in MY Civic!

Z
Ohhhh, this is just like "Oz" when Adebesi and that muslim guy had the final showdown in teatown...neither one of ya'll got a shank, on you, do you?
Terrance
So what you saying? If Julian gave you a chance to be the man that he needed you would be it? You would protect his heart? Make sure he never got hurt? Try and give him the world?
Vernon
(pause)
Julian's the one that needs to be asking me that question. And IF he DOES...Julian's the one I'll be giving the answer too.
Z is amazed that Vernon really does seem like he wants to be with Julian and willing to go the extra mile, even she doesn't know what to say or do now. Julian and Stony walk in, going over to the bars. Z runs to the bars, happy to see them.
Z
Hiiiii guys!
(holds out cup)
Cappucino?
Stony
You behind bars. I wish we had one of these in the house to just...throw you in when you get on my nerves.
Z makes a face at him. Julian sees Terrance and Vernon, unsure of what to say to either of them since he hasn't seen either man since "Sickning & In Demand".
Julian
I...posted bail for both you guys so, you're free!
The female officer comes and opens the cell, letting Z, Terrance, and Vernon out. Z grabs onto Stony, hugging him tightly. Vernon looks at Julian who can't look him in the eyes...not in front of Terrance.
Vernon
(to Z)
You guys...think you could give me a ride? Car's still at the parking lot at the gym.
Terrance
So's mine.
Julian
Than I guess we, all need a ride.
Z
(sighs)
THIS should be fun.
The five of them start to all walk out of the police station.
Stony
I'm just letting you know NOW, I don't want know blood stains in my car! There will be no UFC championship going on in MY Civic!

Ep. 9, Scene 4 Grandmama Kim Helps Julian
Z/Stony's Apartment-Interior-HallwayStony and Julian are walking into the building. They go through the glass doors and as they start to walk down the hall, someone calls out to them.
Kim
WHO is THAT pumping down the runway? I know that's my girllllls, Stony and Julian.
Stony makes a face like "damn, we're caught" and than turns around smiling. It's Kim, the transsexual in transition who is the most nicest woman in the world. She has long hair, is an older woman though looks young, is very very pretty, dresses nicely, and has a pleasant voice. She also has the ability to talk for sometime and somehow, you're unable to leave the conversation because you feel bad. Julian turns around, smiling at her.
Julian
Hi, Kim! You look fabulous as always.They kiss each other on the cheek.
Kim
Thank you! Just--a little--something I threw on to impress Mr.President tonight, Barack aint ready honey, Michelle better watch OUT!
(taps the brim on Julian's fedora hat)
And look at you! Looking like a Ne-Yo. MISS Ne-Yo.
Stony and Julian smile. Kim is always so funny. And loud.
Kim

Stony

Kim

Julian looks like "what does that have to do with anything?" but smiles.
Kim

Stony

Kim

(to Julian)
And Miss Thing, who was that FINE piece of trade you brought up in here the night diva was doing her show-show? Honeyyyy, I almost dropped the soap on purpose! He is decepticon tea, bitch!
Julian looks like he's about to start crying.
Stony
Oh no please, don't get him started on this.
Kim

(soft voice)

(points to Julian's heart)
There, tells YOU to do. You NEED to listen. Cause the heart NEVER lies. And if you lie with dogs ya gonna get fleas than the fleas gonna get you so...don't be scared to hurt someone. In the end, you're only pulling the ducktape off sooner rather than later.
Julian ponders that...he doesn't want to hurt anyone but knows that's enivitable. Stony's cellphone rings. He sees who it is and answers it.
Stony
Baby! I've been trying to call you all day, we need to t...you in jail?!...
Julian and Kim both look shocked.
Stony
Alright baby, I'll be right there...take my time? Why do you sound like you don't care you locked up?
(eyes wide)
Cause you locked up with the boys and you don't wanna leave, mary!...Terrance and Vernon are in jail with you?

Stony

Ep. 9, Scene 3 *Battle for Julian's Heart*
Scene 3
"Move, If U Wanna, If U Wanna, If U Wanna, Move, Move, If U Wanna, If U Wanna, If U Wanna, Move, Move..."
Gym-Parking Lot"Move (If U Wanna)" by Mims opens the scene. Vernon is leaving the gym, walking through the parking lot to his car. However, he sees his car and also sees Terrance leaning on the hood of it. This was bound to happen sooner or later, Vernon just hopes that it doesn't have to go down in a bad way.
Vernon
Can you...get off my car, bruh?
Terrance gets up nicely, Vernon walks up to the car so he's now a little closer to Terrance...clearly there's tension.
Terrance
(smiling slightly)
Oh--my bad, homie. I shoulda asked your permission before I--took a little seat on your ride.(serious)
Did you ask MY permission too kiss Julian last week when you pulled that little stunt?!
Vernon
Yo, please don't raise your voice at me, man. Julian's with you, I got it and--I'm...
Terrance
You're SOR-RY. That's all you gotta say, Vernon than we can let bygones be bygones and all that good stuff. I'll forget all about it.
Vernon bites his tongue...he was in the wrong but does Terrance know that Julian kissed him again after the show? Probably not.
Vernon
I'm sorry.
Terrance
(winks)
Good man. You know, I know dudes like you, homie. Prey on the--trusting, lovable, nice as hell gay guys so you can get ya rocks off when you want to and than go back to your girl at the end of the night...
Vernon
(offended)
It's not LIKE THAT between me and Julian, you don't know NOTHING about our relationship so don't...
Terrance
Relationship? Whoa, whoa, you--you bold, aint you? Where you living at, homie? Them--S-Curls too tight or something? You and MY baby...don't have anything.
Vernon wants to tell him about the OTHER kiss but just nods his head, wanting to avoid any further confrontation.
Vernon
You got it, Terrance. Me and Julian don't have anything at all.
Vernon opens his trunk and throws his bag in there.
Terrance
(pause)
Julian doesn't deserve somebody like you.
Vernon stops. Those words getting to him.
Terrance
Somebody who's--confused. Unsure of themselves. Someone whose NOT quite ready to--OUT themselves, just yet to the world. Get my drift?
Vernon
No.
(closes the trunk)
But I'm starting to get pissed off. You got an issue with me, Terrance?
Terrance now gets mad and gets in Vernon's face.
Terrance
I got an issue with you pushing up on my man, so yeah, I GUESS we-got-some issues.
Vernon
If Julian was ya man like you say he is THAN we wouldn't be having this conversation...you threatened by me and it's showing alllll over your face.
Terrance knows he's right but stands strong.
Vernon
I shouldn't have kissed him during the show. I apologized for that...I'm NOT gonna apologize for Julian kissing ME afterward.
Terrance
(angry; shocked)
What?! You lying!
Vernon
After the show. After you BOUNCED, on "ya man". You don't do that, man. You was feeling some type of way about what happened, you shoulda stayed and TALKED to him, that's what a REAL man woulda did.
Terrance
(angry)
Yeah, cause that's what...
Terrance punches Vernon who is flung onto the hood of his car by the impact.
Terrance
YOU did, right?!
(points to Vernon)
STAY AWAY from Julian.
Vernon gets up from the car and punches Terrance in the face, a fight in the parking lot commences.
Police Station-Interior-Holding Cell
Cops are milling around, eating donuts, booking criminals, etc. Z is sitting down in the cell and looks a little beat up though it's obvious he won the altercation with Kaiseem. He's sipping on something in a cup and reading the paper, looking very comfortable in jail. Some people come in and Z looks over...shocked to see Vernon and Terrance both being brought in with their hands tied behind their back in handcuffs! It's visible that they were in a fight. Vernon and Terrance both are surprised to see Z in the police station. The cops take them out of their cuffs and put them in the cell with Z, there's no one else in the cell but the three of them.
Terrance
Z, what are you doing here?
Vernon
Yeah, you ok?
Z
Ok?! Course I'm ok! I thought the gays didn't do good in jail, hunnay, I watched Oz, it was like a tutorial on the prison life and NO ONE was gonna be taking MY goodies! But it's NOT THAT bad here.
(holds out cup)
Cappucino? Hey boo!
Z waves to the female CO on duty and she happily waves back.
Z
(to Vernon)
She saw our Britney performance at the club and LOVES me! Isn't that a coincidence? Ya gotta love the fag hags, honey. Now what the hell are you two doing in here? Together?
Terrance and Vernon look like neither one of them want to say, they both seem a little ashamed of the fight they had. Z goes over to the bars, talking to the female officer.
Terrance
Z...I need to ask you something and--can you be honest with me?
Z
As much as I can.
Terrance
(looks over at Vernon)
Does Julian have feelings for this guy?
Z looks like she doesn't want to answer that question.
Z
(pause)
Can I--phone a friend on this one, Regis?
(to the female officer)
Heyyy, boo! Can I borrow your cell again? I just need to call my bestfriend Julian so I can ask him something.
