Ep. 8, Scene 3 *The Moment You've All Been Waiting For!"

The door opens, Z walks in holding some bags, Julian and Vernon follow behind him. Julian closes the door, the two of them are also holding bags.

Z
(shocked)
Oh my God, this house is a mess, baby?! You coulda cleaned UP a little, we have...
(gestures toward Julian and Vernon with his head)
Com-pa-ny.

Stony
(looking down at the shoe)
Terrance aint no company, baby, that boy is like a fly on Julian's ass, wherever Julian go, he(looks up; sees Vernon)
Goooo...YOU'RE not Terrance, you'reeee...
(looks at Julian)
Mary, WHAT did you do now? I can't be keeping up with all these changesss and these kids...OH MY GOD, the kids!

Stony realizes he forgot the kids in the "no air" room, he runs to the back hastily.

Stony
Ya'll still breathing?

The kids sound rowdy, literally like animals and you can hear them fighting to get out of the room.

Stony
(grunting)
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE...!

Darnell
Yeah, where's Terrance? And WHO invited him?

Z
I invited him, Darnell. Vernon is going to replace Terrance in the numba! He had a radio thing, thank Jesus!
(crosses arms, attitude)
So tonight is a GOOD night, you not gonna be CASTING no black shadows over MY performance with all them evil spirits!
(takes out holy water and splashes it on Darnell)
We're going to be NICE...RIGHT?

Darnell
I know you get a little crazy around performance time so I'ma let the fact that you just ruined a three hundred suit with your voodoo concoction and dock it out your pay...
(jumps up and down)
Haha, I win!

Darnell walks away to go back to sewing and talking on the phone. Julian sighs--his friends are--ridiculous. Poor Vernon, he really wasn't a bad guy, just...confused with who he was, that's all. The look on Vernon's face shows that he knows Darnell has mixed opinions about him.

Vernon
Where should we take this stuff?

Z
To the...
(snaps)
"Chamber of Beautification where the...
(snaps twice in the air)
"Goddess of Entertainment", transFORMSSS herself into the...

Stony
The bathroom, mary, he's talking BOUT THE BATHROOM!

Stony takes Z to their bedroom while Julian and Vernon go into the back, they go to open one door but you hear "animal like" growls coming from it, Julian stops.

Julian
Oh no, I forgot, the children of the corn parts 1 and 2 are in there.

Julian quickly goes to the other door which is the bathroom. Vernon follows him in and they close the door behind them. The bathroom is cluttered with hair dryers, brushes, and wigs.

"Common Denominator" starts playing softly in the background.

"When it comes to ya love their aint much to figure outtt. YOU make me feel secure in my mind, there aint no doubt, boy when I think about it, it's like you're made for meee. No matter what I'm facing, you complete my equation, common denominator..."

The bathroom's pretty small in essence so Julian and Vernon are in very close corners. Julian turns around, trying to put a bag down and ends up in Vernon's face, he smiles.

Vernon
(kind of excited)
This is crazy you know that? Your friends, they a litttle rude but that's only cause they don't know me. We wouldn't be friends if I wasn't a good guy, right? And Z likes me and he like--rules ALL of you guys, so I'm in.

Julian is a little thrown off, Vernon's acting a little weird. He turns around and happens to be looking in the mirror...Vernon is standing behind him and he can see his reflection in the mirror as well. Right...behind him. Just them. The two of them. Vernon and Julian. Julian smiles slightly, knowing that this can NOT go there.

Julian
Z is really...I can't really find the word to describe it because there isn't one, Z's just...Z. She likes things her way and yeah, she's a liiiittle high strung...

Vernon
(finishing his sentence)
But that's just who she is.Julian eyes blink a few times...

Vernon doesn't sound like Vernon. He sounds like...Vernon sighs deeply, turning Julian around to face him. He knows that this is his only chance to say it. Nothing else matters. It has to finally be said. Julian looks nervous, scared, is Vernon on drugs?

Vernon
Julian, Jewelz...I'm done lying. I want YOU. I--WANT--YOU!A burden has been lifted off his shoulders, he can finally say those words.

Julian looks like he's been hit with a stick made out of the hardest metal possible. He doesn't know what to say...he had been wanting to hear those words for so long.

Vernon
But...I know I'm too late.What?

Julian was not ready for that one either. He was kinda hoping something else would happen...VernonI realized a lot while I was gone, Julian and...you're the dude I want to...try this with...
(tries to find words; laughs slightly)
What*EVER* it is we have between us cause...
(looks into Julian's eyes)
I KNOW that we got something...I always have, I just...couldn't figure out what I was.

Julian puts his finger up signalling Vernon to stop which he does. Julian's face is just about as shocked as the viewer. After all this time? All this time? This fine ass man who he's wanted ACTUALLY wants HIM now? Something's gotta be wrong...

Julian
THIS--isn't--one of--those--day--dreams...is it?

Vernon
(smirks)
You daydream about me? That's cute, Jewelz...

Julian
Nope, it's not cause in my daydreams, we'd be kissing already.Vernon gets a sexy look on his face, all he had to do was ask. The door opens, breaking the moment between them...it's Z.

Z
You are NOW the...
(snaps twice)
"Sickning Diva of...
(serious)
I don't have TIME for this MESS tonight." If U Seekay each other on your own time, WE gotta be at the club before Big Sal eats all the corndogs I left for him...

Julian
What are the corndogs for?

Z
So he'll be distracted when I release my FRIGGIN FOG!
(like drill sergeant)
Move, move, move!

End of Scene.

Now that Vernon's revealed his feelings to Julian...what will happen next?
