Webbie’s Redemption
By Eizayah
Characters: Webbie the Benz Truck, Male 18 years old Black the Lexus Truck, Male 40 years old
Setting: On a used car lot, near the U-Haul place. There is a lot of noise coming from a construction site with a lot of sweaty workers on a lunch break. There is a bumpy road up ahead with a bunch of pot holes and caution signs. A police car is sleeping close by with a coffee stain on his windshield with a donut stuck to his door handle.
Time: 3:33 pm on a hot summer day.
At Rise: Webbie is pulling up to the used car lot blasting his music from the speakers in his grill:
Yaw ain’t makin’ no moneyy, Yaw ain’t makin’ no money, Yaw ain’t really doin’ nothin’, Yaw ain’t thuggin’ Yaw stunin’… Also, Black pull up blasting whatever that is he’s listening to: If you ever let ‘cha girl get mad, Don’t let the good girl go bad, Drop five stackz on a make-up bag, Drop five stack on a make-up bag…
BLACK Webbie, where you been at?
WEBBIE (rapping) Up on yo main whip, turnin’ every corner we be slidin’ in the rain sick.
BLACK Yeah, whatever. What is this mess you been talkin’ about goin’ to the junk yard making music videos and what-not?
WEBBIE Wait… before you start asking questions, what is that smell?
BLACK Oh, my bad – – – I got gas.
WEBBIE Yeah, aite, but wassup I gotta make this video. Black, we gone have all the whips bumpin’ up on us after this one. I’m talkin’ V.I.P. list at the car wash. No more parking lot trippin’, poppin’ fat bottles of anti-freeze, brake fluid, you name it, we got it. BLACK What makes you think you being from the yards or acting like you from the junk yard is about to get you famous?
WEBBIE Don’t question my drivin’. Man, just listen, I’m tryna’ make it happen, I’m talkin’ a Rolls Royce in the video with the junk in her trunk, some wet Mercedes with they top off. Come on man, let’s do this.
BLACK Didn’t I tell you what happened last time I was in the yard. They will strip you for yo parts, boy.
WEBBIE — you a sucka, I swear you scary.
BLACK It’s a difference between being smart and scared. You heard what Plies said, boy.
WEBBIE Yeah, well Plies just as scary as you is.
BLACK Come on, son, we can’t be around the yard. It ain’t cool over there.
WEBBIE You ain’t cool over there. Just come on. I got the tool under my seat just in case they got some loose screws.
BLACK Man, what that one tool gone do – – they keep hamma’s in the yard.
WEBBIE You be killin’ me, man. It’s good. Trust me.
BLACK I don’t know, Benzo. If somethin’ slide off I’m getting’ on yo bumper.
WEBBIE Yeah. Aite, Slap, you sure beep louder than you honk.
BLACK Aite, man, we gone do this video, but just once, man, just once.
WEBBIE Haha. Yeah, we fina be rich, man, we fina be getting’ dough.
BLACK Yeah, whatever. All I know is I better have my own bottle of anit-freeze with a bad Benz, wet with the top off. |
