*17 years later*

(After one minute of dozing off to sleep Lynn was abruptly awaken by loud shouting. Lynn listened
quietly startled by the harsh voices.)

SENG : (shouts) Never ask me that question again!

LILLY: (shouting back ) Why can’t I huh! Why .......

SENG: (slaps Lilly before she finishes her sentence) Don’t ever let me hear you bring it up again!
You’re only third wife Lilly! Stay in your place!

REKSA: (rushes to Lilly’s side) Aow Lilly. That’s enough. Don’t make him mad. Don’t argue anymore.
You’re gonna wake the kids.

LILLY: I don’t care!

LYNN: (sighs and leans against the door) Here we go again (covers her ears to keep their voices
away) Man I can’t take this shiet anymore! (grabs her keys)

REKSA: (sees Lynn walking out of her room) Where you going Lynn?

LYNN: (rolls her eyes ) You don’t have to know.

SENG: Answer her Lynn!

LYNN: (turns around) I said YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW!

(Seng lifts his hand up preparing to slap her but Reksa stops him)

REKSA: Let’s not result to violence...

LYNN: (tries to keep back tears) I don’t care! Let him hit me!

SENG: (grabs Lynn by the hair) Why are you so damn hard headed Lynn!

LYNN: (looks Seng in the eyes firmly) Let me go!

(Seng releases his grasp, shocked. Lynn runs her hand through her hair and walks downstairs)

LYNN: (mumbles under her breath) This family is fucken screwed up... (heads for the door)

FLORENCE: (steps in Lynn’s path) You know why this family is fucken screwed up?........... Because
you’re here! Everybody says our family was fine until you came. Then all the shiet started. (grunts)
We’re not even sure you’re really daddy’s daughter. For all we know your momma probably ....

SOMINA: (grabs Florence’s arm) Florence that wasn’t nice. (looks at Lynn apologetically) She didn’t
mean it Lynn. (gives Florence a disapproving look)Everyone of us in this house is dads child..

LYNN: (looks at Florence and laughs) You know what... Maybe I ain’t his daughter, cuz if I was then I
would be acting like a dog that has rabies like some people around here!

FLORENCE: (screams) Did you hear that Mina ..........she called us a dog with rabies!! (gets in Lynn’s
face) Take that back!

LYNN: Get out of my way!

FLORENCE: (steps up to Lynn) Whatchu gonna do if I don’t.

LYNN: (pushes Florence out of her way) That’s what I’m gonna do! (walks off)

FLORENCE: (pulls Lynns hair and starts slapping her) You think you’re gonna get away with that
huh!

LYNN: (puts her hands around Florence’s neck) Get off of me! (sits on Florence and starts slapping
her)

LILLY: (rushes downstairs seeing Florence and Lynn at each other’s throat) What’s going on!
(pushes Lynn off of Florence) Are you okay Florence?

FLORENCE: (Florence looks at Lilly) Your daughter pushed me Lilly! You better tell her to stay in her
place!

LYNN: She got up in my face first, Ma. I told her to get out of my face but she didn’t.

LILLY: (looks at Lynn and slaps her) Apologize to Florence now Lynn!

LYNN: (sobs) But ma ....

FLORENCE: You heard yo momma Lynn ... apologize to me .....

LILLY: (pulls Lynn’s ear) I said apologize

SOMINA: (taps Lilly on the shoulder) It’s okay Lilly .... It was Florence’s fault. Florence started it.

LYNN: (sets free of Lilly’s grasp and walks off) I can’t believe it my own mother ....... why does she
resent me so much (Lynn asked herself sobbing)

SERVANT: (sees Lynn getting into her car) Where are you going Miss?

LYNN: (puts on her sunglasses) Like I told everybody else YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW! (hops into
her car) Damnit fucken people they need to mind their own business and leave me the fuck alone!

(Lynn puts the key into the ignition of her supped up yellow Acura Integra and drives off leaving skid
marks and dust behind)

LEK: (pulls on the servants arm) Where’s P’ Lynn going in the middle of the night?

SERVANT: (shrugs her shoulder) I don’t know.... Anyways are you hungry Miss Lek?

LEK: No........ everybody is going crazy again.... huh?

SERVANT: That’s old people business (taps Lek lightly on the nose) As for you ..... it’s time for you
to go to bed. You have school tomorrow.

(Lynn pulls up to a club parking her car in two lanes and walks into the club with it‘s blast up music.)

LYNN: (sighs) Wow nice place ...(sits and relax waiting for a waiter to bring her a drink) Damn where can I get some service around
this damn place!

(Then a short blond guy walks up to Lynn’s table)

JONI: (smiles) Can I get you a drink?

LYNN: (looks up and rolls her eyes) That has got to be the sorriest pick up line I’ve ever heard in my life! Let me give you a tip
......(looks at Joni’s name tag)... JONI. If you’re trying to bust the click next time don’t wear no waiter outfit okay! And if you’re so
dumb you have to wear a nametag just to remember your own name I think you should be in the hospital. Not out roaming in
society.

JONI: (laughs at Lynn’s ignorance) Actually I wasn’t trying to bust the click or anything.

LYNN: (looks Joni up and down) You don’t wanna bust the click on me? You must be one hekka gay guy or you must be hella blind
to not want to bust the click on me cuz I’m hella fly.

JONI: (laughs again) Actually you’re taking it all the wrong way. I was asking you if you wanted a drink cuz I’m the WAITER here at
this club.

LYNN: (blushed feeling stupid) OH shiet. (studders) I....I guess that explains your waiter outfit and nametag huh?

JONI: (grins) Naw shiet sherlock!

LYNN: (takes Joni’s comment personally) Hey no need to be rude about it shoot! I knew you were the waiter!

JONI: (teasing her) So what can I get you..... water .... soda. ...... beer....... cum?????? I got it all! (laughs)

LYNN: Cum? Is that a new drink? (thinks to herself) Hey that sounds good. Give me one of those.

JONI: (laughs loudly) Are you sure you want one of those? (laughs again)

LYNN: What the hell is so damn funny?

JONI: (looks at Lynn) Are you really that dumb or are you just playing dumb?

LYNN: Hey I’m not dumb and I’m definitely not playing dumb!

JONI: You don’t know what cum is?

LYNN: It’s a new drink dur!

JONI: (laughs again) Oh dear you are one innocent chic...

LYNN: You gonna tell me what it is or not?

JONI: Naw. For me to know for you to find out.

LYNN: (sits down and looks at Joni angrily.) Well then just bring me a coke. I change my mind about that cum drink.

JONI: (looks at Lynn skeptically) You came to a club to drink soda?

LYNN: (talks in a conceited white girls tone and pulls out her credit card) Do as I say Dude. Don’t ask questions..... you’re like
totally giving me a headache.

JONI: (mimics Lynn’s white girl tone) Whoa you have a credit card ....... Like totally ..... one coke coming right up... ( walks over to
the counter and grabs a glass of coke) There you go man .....

LYNN: (gives Joni a look) Did you just call me a man? (stands up in front of Joni) Do I look like a man to you? (swings around and
trips over her own foot)

JONI: (catches Lynn before she hits the ground and laughs) Damn are you drunk already? You barely took one sip of your COKE.

LYNN: (looks at Joni angrily) You’re getting annoying ...... let me go!

(Joni releases Lynn and she falls to the ground)

LYNN: Oyyy! (looks up at Joni) Whatchu do that for?

JONI: (grins) You said let you go....... so I did

LYNN: (begins to cry like a spoiled little girl) I didn’t mean let me FALL TO THE FLOOR! (pauses) Nobody ever understands
me..........(buries her head in her knees and sob)

JONI: (kneels down next to Lynn) Look Miss I didn’t mean to make you cry .......Come on ..... BIG GIRLS DON’T CRY ....

LYNN: (continues to cry) I hate you. You’re mean! I wanna talk with the manager.....

JONI: (looks up at the crowd that had formed around him and Lynn) Look your mascara is starting to run ... you don’t want it to run
....... you’ll look ugly

LYNN: (stopped crying and pulled out her compact) Really? (examines herself in the mirror) Liar! My mascara is not running

JONI: (pulls out a handkerchief from his pocket) Don’t cry anymore na ..

(Lynn looks at the handkerchief and makes a face)

JONI: Don’t worry it’s clean .... it won’t give you AIDS! (laughs)

(Lynn snatches the handkerchief from Joni and blows her nose)

JONI: (steps back surprised) Dang girl ....... that hanky was for tears .. not boogers gosh! You can keep that hanky now ....

LYNN: (dogs Joni) You’re an ass hole ... and ....I don’t need your sympathy! (gets up and walks away)

JONI: (shouts after Lynn teasing her) I HAVE an ASS HOLE but I’m not an Ass hole.....

(Joni watched as Lynn rushed out of the club clumsily bumping into tables.)

JONI: (shakes his head and sighs) What a cry baby! (smiles) What a booger .....

PART 2

(The next day at school..... Noy walks clumsily down the corridor to her locker to get her stuff for class. Balancing her books in one
arm Noy pulls up her glasses and struggles to get her locker opened)

NOY: (punches her locker) Come on! Open! (whispers not wanting teachers to hear her cuss) Damn stupid fucken locker!

LOUIS: (whispers in a deep voice) I heard that!

NOY: (Jumps startled thinking Louis was a teacher, dropping her books) (speaking in a fob tone, pretending she doesn’t speak
clear English) Oh teejuh, me say somsing rong?

LOUIS: (laughs and mimics Noy‘s fobbish tone) Yeah, you say somsing rong. Damn stupid fucken is bad word. That’s a no no

NOY: Oh no I not talking back. I just assing quesion.

LOUIS: I should punish you young lady.

NOY: Oh my gosh you totally tricked me!

LOUIS: (smiles) Who do you think you’re fooling lil girl ...... (checks Noy out) ...... Wow cute toosh for a nerd ...... (chuckles)

VHAN: (looks at her watch) Damnit I’m gonna be late if I don‘t find a parking space soon! (looks around for a parking space in the
student parking lot) Damn it’s all packed and shiet! (sees one parking space) BINGO! (sees another car heading for the parking
space too) OH no you don’t mister! (Speeds up her car and gets the parking space)

RATHANA: (steps on his breaks abruptly) Oh man what the heck is that girl thinking! (sighs) that was a close one.

VHAN: (laughs) Looser! (steps out of her car and looks at Rathana) That’s what I thought! You’re sucky ass accord can’t beat my
civic! (walks off)

RATHANA: (burns rubber and splashes mud at Vhan, dirtying her white shirt) (sticks his head out of the car window) Who’s the
looser now! (laughs) You look like you just came out the dumpster. (drives off)

VHAN: (screams) At least I don’t fucken live in a dumpster! (looks at her dirty shirt) I’m all dirty now. Freaken bastard!

(Vhan walks to the bathroom to get cleaned up before class starts.)

LYNN: (looks at Vhan, wiping the mud off her shirt) (thinks to herself) Damn haven’t she ever heard of a washer machine.... Oh well I
guess where she lives water is rare ... that’s why she comes for a free wash here in the schools bathroom

VHAN: (sees Lynn staring at her) Hey could you hand me some more paper towel?

LYNN: (looks at Vhan disgusted) You have two hands and feet get it yourself! (walks out of the bathroom)

VHAN: (looks at Lynn as she walks out) Damn must be that time of the month. Freaken Pms’ing Bitch!

LYNN: (rushes out of the restroom and runs into Joni and falls to the ground) OYY! Excuse you!

JONI: (surprised) WHOA ... (sees Lynn on the ground and smiles) You just love the floor don’t you?

LYNN: (confused) Huh?

JONI: It seems like every time you’re around me, you always end up on the floor ... Am I that strikingly haNdsome?

LYNN: (rolls her eyes) HA HA HA funny (gives Joni her innocent look) Well aren’t you gonna help me up?

JONI: (smiles) What’s the magic word?

LYNN: (flutters her eyelashes) Please?

(Joni sticks out his hand and Lynn grabs it and pulls Joni to the floor.)

LYNN: (hops to her feet) So how do you like the floor huh ....

JONI: (sits up on the floor and grins) It would be more fun if you were down here getting rowdy with me ...

PART 3

(After school Noy waits for Joni to come out of class)

NOY: (leans against Joni’s car) Gosh when is he gonna come out! Taking so damn LONG!

JONI: Did I keep you waiting Noy?

NOY: (shakes her head) Naw you didn’t.

JONI: (laughs) Why you lying for? I just heard you complaining.

NOY: Hurry and unlock the door Joni. It’s hot standing out here.

(Joni unlocks the door to his car and they both hop in)

JONI: (blasts up his radio) So how was your first day of school?

NOY: (shrugs) Aight I guess (pauses) Joni you didn’t tell my parents that I was living with you right?

JONI: (pulls out of the student parking lot) Of course I didn’t. I gave you my word on that.

NOY: (smiles at Joni) Thanks Cuzz. Did I tell you that you were my favorite cousin?

JONI: (laughs) Aww you making me blush now .... So why’d you run away from home in the first place?

NOY: There’s no reason for me to stay with my parents. There’s nothing to miss in California.. All they ever care about is .....
money ...... MONEY AND MORE MONEY!

JONI: (laughs) Don’t you miss California? Don’t you miss being rich and wearing all them name brand clothes and driving them
expensive cars? Don’t you miss getting manicures and pedicures every other weekend?

NOY: (looks at her nails) Yeah I sorta miss those things .... but oh well .... they have those things here in Thailand too.

JONI: You still didn’t answer my question .... So how long do you plan on staying with me?

NOY: (lets out an annoyed sigh) Why are you asking me all these questions Joni? (looks at Joni) Look if you don’t want me to stay
with you, you can just tell me straight out.

JONI: No Noy it’s not that .... it’s just that you’re a girl and I’m a guy ..... and we’re living together .... you know people might think
stuff ... I don’t want your rep to be ruined .... you know how it is .... peoples these days

NOY: For God’s sakes, we’re cousins Joni, BLOOD RELATED COUSINS. People have mouths they’re gonna talk shit no matter
what. People have their own opinion they can think whatever they want .... as long as we know wussup, you know.

JONI: Okay okay. Don’t have to get all offensive ...

NOY: I’m not getting offensive... I’m just trying to get my point across.

JONI: (looks at his watch) Oh gosh I’m gonna be late!

NOY: (confused) Late for what?

JONI: Work .

NOY: (rolls her eyes) Joni you own the “Clubsteraunt” you don’t have to worry about being late.

JONI: Hey I’m the boss but what kind of example am I setting for my employees, if I go to work late everyday?

NOY: You got a point there. Hey Joni let me help you out, let me be one of those people that goes around serving people.

JONI: You mean a waitress? You actually wanna work?

NOY: Dur what did you think I meant? Of course I want to work. I always dreamed of doing community service.

JONI: (laughs) Well....... you know ....... a rich, spoiled, lazy girl like you? Work? I really don’t think so.

NOY: What are you trying to say Joni. You’re being a stereotype. Just because I was spoiled and rich doesn’t mean I can’t do
things for myself. I’m not rich and spoiled anymore. I’m an independent woman now.

JONI: You’ve never contributed to the community .........

NOY: (interrupts Joni) Hey remember that one time I helped pass out presents to all the unfortunate kids during Christmas. That
counts as community service

JONI: (laughs) Noy picking up presents from a christmas tree and passing it out to your relatives doesn’t count as community
service .... those were not unfortunate kids

NOY: Hey they were still unfortunate compared to me ...

JONI: Noy you never even lifted a finger to do anything. You had people do your laundry ..... fold your bed sheets and clothes .....
iron your clothes ... comb your hair .... clean your room ... fix you breakfast, lunch and dinner ....

NOY: I do lift my finger .....

JONI: OH yeah. Give me an example of one time you had to lift your finger to do something for yourself..

NOY: (grunts) I lift my finger to tell the servants where to put MY luggage ... I lift my finger to show the servants where MY dirty
clothes are .... and ....

JONI: (Interrupts Noy) AND ..... You even have people dress you and shower you ...

NOY: No .... but I have them get my bath nice and warm for me before I shower and get the outfit I want to wear that day.

JONI: (laughs) See what I mean Noy? You’ve never done any hard labor work.

NOY: Well there’s a first time for everything. Just give me a chance Joni .... PLeeeeeeeze..... I promise I won’t cause any
trouble..... I’ll be a good girl ... okiez?

JONI: (looks at Noy) Errr (nods his head) Okay .... but you have to not wear those horrible glasses and fix yourself up so you don’t
look like a nerd. We’re out of school now, you don’t have to wear your disguise anymore (laughs)

NOY: (speaks in her intellectual voice) Hey these glasses happen to make me look very intelligent .......

JONI: Oh yeah and loose your “HINDU” accent. I could barely understand a word you’re saying.

NOY: (giggles) It‘s not HINDU! It‘s my “Fresh Off the Boat” accent (smiles and imitates Jackie Chan in Rush hour 2) Do you
understand the words that arh .... coming... outh .....of ... ahhh .... mai.. mouthff..... Don’t I sound like Jackie Chan in Rush hour 2?

JONI: (Joni laughs) Actually you sound more like Apu in the Simpsons (imitates apu in the Simpsons) Thank you veerrry much cum
bak again

NOY: (rolls her eyes) At least I don’t look Hindu, you and your sharp ass nose.

JONI: Okay that‘s enough Noy (throws Noy a waitress uniform) You can go change in the bathroom ...

NOY: (looks at the uniform) Okie dokie Beaveronie

JONI: I told you to stop calling me that ...

NOY: (laughs) Can’t help it, if you look like a beaver. (pats Joni on the shoulder) Don’t worry Joni, you’re a cute lil beaver though.
(laughs)

JONI: (pulls Noy’s ear) Let’s see how cute you’ll be if you’re missing your two front teeth!

NOY: (runs into the girls bathroom and sticks her head out the door) Hey at least my two front teeth don’t look like chiclets.

JONI: HA HA HA ....... very funny ........ well your tittayz are sooooo small you wear CHICLETS as a bra!

(Louis drove home after school, singing along to some of his favorite songs, when he was suddenly interrupted by his stomach
growling.)

LOUIS: (looks at Lynn from the corner of his eyes) Yo Lynn you hungry?

LYNN: I ain’t hungry but I know you are....

LOUIS: (grins) How’d you know?

LYNN: (laughs) Either your growling stomach is hungry or it’s trying to tell you that your singing SUCKS!

LOUIS: (laughs) I wouldn’t be talking if I was you.

LYNN: whatchu trying to say huh?

LOUIS: I’m trying to say .....that ....the radio would probably tell you to shut up if you tried to sing along with it. That’s how bad your
singing is! (laughs)

LYNN: Very funny GAYBOI!

LOUIS: (his stomach growls again) See my stomach’s trying to tell you to shut up! (laughs) Anyways know any good places to eat?

LYNN: Go to “Clubsteraunt”

LOUIS: Clubsteraunt?

LYNN: Yeah it’s a place that’s a restaurant by day and a club by night.

LOUIS: (scratches his head) Um kay .... If it’s a restaurant by day and a club by night shouldn’t it be “Resterclub?”

LYNN: (gives Louis an annoyed look) How the hell am I suppose to know .... why don‘t you go ask the owner? (Lynn sees the
“Clubsteraunt”) Make a left Louis.

LOUIS: (makes a left and parks his car perfectly in the parallel parking space) (smiles) Perfect eh Lynn ...

LYNN: (rolls her eyes) You’re such an idiot Louis!

PART 4

NOY: (sees Lynn and Louis come in the restaurant) Oh shit it’s the dude from school!

JONI: Well aren’t you gonna go serve them Noy? You ARE the waitress

NOY: The other people can do it!

JONI: Noy... they’re busy with other customers ..... I thought you wanted to help me out?

NOY: I do but ......... (rolls her eyes) Oh alright I‘ll go ....(walks up to Lynn’s and Louis’s table and gives them a menu)

LOUIS: (recognizes Noy) Have we met before?

NOY: (looks around) You talking to me?

LOUIS: Yeah you..... have we met before? You look very familiar

NOY: (shakes her head) Not that I know of (changes the subject) Anyways Welcome to “Clubsteraunt” sit back, relax and enjoy,
just holla at me when you got your order ready.

LOUIS: (laughs) Wow does all of the waiters and waitresses have to memorize that “Welcome“ phrase?

NOY: (smiles) No, I made it up myself ... you like?

LOUIS: (looks at Noy) I like you, if that’s what you’re trying to ask me.

NOY: I was referring to my “Welcome” phrase ... you dimwit. (walks off)

LOUIS: (looks at Lynn) Did she just call me a dimwit?

LYNN: (laughs) Naw shiet Sherlock (pauses and thinks to herself) Ewww I’m started to sound like that dumb waiter boy ......

LOUIS: Whatchu say Lynn?

LYNN: Nothing ...

LOUIS: (sighs dreamily) Ahhh that waitress wants me bad ....

LYNN: (Flaps the menu in Louis’s face to bring in back to reality) Earth to Louis ....... you there .......

LOUIS: (snaps back to reality) What??

LYNN: You got your order ready?

LOUIS: Uhhh ... yeah ... I’ll take a sandwich and a coke

LYNN: Me too (calls Noy over) We’re ready to order

NOY: (takes out a pen and a notepad) So what will it be?

LYNN: 2 sandwiches and 2 cokes

NOY: Will that be it? No dessert?

LOUIS: (smiles) and ..... you for dessert..

LYNN: (looks at Noy embarrassed) Don’t mind my retarded brother (whispers to Noy) He just came out of the mental clinic ...

NOY: (laughs) Oh I see

(Noy grabs 2 sandwiches and 2 cokes from the counter)

NOY: (places the food and soda on the table) There you go ... enjoy.

LOUIS: Hold up Miss Thang .... (opens his sandwich) I don’t want no Mayo on my sandwich and I don’t want no crust on my bread
either.

NOY: (lets out an annoyed sigh) Okayyyyy (grabs Louis sandwich and chews the crust off) There, no crust (opens the sandwich
and wipes the Mayo off with a napkin) There you go no Mayo ....... (grins at Louis) Satisfied?

LYNN: (eyes and mouth open wide) Wow ...... ( laughs) They got some great service here huh Louis. Fast and easy ...... (laughs)

LOUIS: Ummm kayyy ..... now where’s my desert (puckers up his lips)

NOY: (smiles and wipes the mayo on Louis‘s face) There you go Mister.....

JONI: (walks out from the back and sees Noy pouring coke on Louis) NOY! What are you doing? (looks at Louis apologetically) I’m
soooo sorry about that (gives Noy a warning look) The sandwich and coke is on us ....

NOY: (laughs and points to Louis) Actually the sandwich and coke is on him

JONI: (chuckles) I meant he doesn’t have to pay for the sandwich and coke (sees Lynn) Oh I see you just can’t have enough of this
place huh blondee ...

LYNN: I wouldn’t be talking if I was you .... (feels on her hair) ....... at least my roots aren’t growing out ...

JONI: (mimics Lynn) Well I still look good don’t I.... Okay enough kidding ... (looks at Noy seriously)

(Taya walks up to Florence’s house and knocks on the door)

FLORENCE: (smiles) Hey Taya. Come in.

TAYA: (walks in) Wow where’s everybody at?

FLORENCE: ( looks around) If you’re looking for Louis, he didn‘t come back from school yet (grins) “Is that all you wanted Taya?
You just wanted to come and see if my bro was home?”

TAYA: (smiled and smacked Florence on the arm) I came to see you too (takes a seat on the couch) So you’re home alone?

FLORENCE: Yeah. I was just about to go out to eat.

TAYA: Oh really ... I was just gonna ask you if you wanted to go out for lunch with me.

FLORENCE: (teases Taya) Shoooore Taya, you know you wanted to come see if Louis was free to take you out to lunch

TAYA: (whines) Florennnnce, quit teasing me. (pauses) So where were you gonna go eat?

FLORENCE: (smiles) Joni’s restaurant. I don‘t know why I like that place so much.

TAYA: (laughs) “Duhhh maybe it’s because Joni’s your boyfriend .........and he owns the darn restaurant .........and you get free food
all the time!”

FLORENCE: (laughs) Yeah that’s part of the reason. I‘ll give him a call before we go so he can get our food ready before we get
there (pauses and thinks) Better yet. I think I’ll give him a surprise visit instead.

(Back at the restaurant)

JONI: (demanding) Noy apologize to Louis right now.

NOY: (pouted) No!

JONI: Noy .... I’m warning you...

NOY: (whines) Joniiiiiiiiii ..... he started it .... he said he wanted to eat me for dessert!

JONI: (looks at Louis) Oh really? (rubs his chin and laughs) How do you like your girls Louis?

LOUIS: (grins) She could be 18 with an attitude or 19 acting snotty acting real rude ...

JONI: Hey just your luck. One 18 year old with an attitude coming up (pushes Noy onto Louis) There you go ...

LOUIS: (laughs) Hey I like the service here Lynn...... Quick and easy! (smiles at Noy teasingly) You wanna come home with Louie

NOY: (pushes Louis away) Ewww you see that Joni...... he was acting perverted with me!

JONI: (laughs) That‘s good.

NOY: (pouts) I’m not talking to you anymore Joni. You’re mean.

JONI: (grabs Noy’s hand and pulls her to her feet) Aww you know I was just playing with you (puts his arm around Noy and pats her
head) Don’t get mad too fast ........ you’re gonna get old fast! (looks at Lynn) Just like that chick over there (points at Lynn)

LYNN: Hey! Leave me out of this (takes out her compact and checks her face) I don’t look old! I’m hella fly...

(Taya and Florence walks into the restaurant)

FLORENCE: (sees Joni’s arm around Noy) (shouts) JONI!

PART 5

LYNN & LOUIS: (in unisons) FLORENCE!

JONI: (sees Florence and smiles) Hey hunnie (walks over to Florence and kisses her on the cheek)

FLORENCE: (looks at Joni angrily) Don’t you hunnie me!

JONI: How come you didn’t tell me you were coming today?

FLORENCE: (shouts) If I told you I was coming I wouldn’t get to see you draped all over some white girl would I!

JONI: (chuckles) What white girl?

NOY: (looks at Joni and Florence) Wow who’s that girl she looks mean ....

(Florence walks over to Noy)

NOY: (smiles) Hi .. welcome to club.....

FLORENCE: (interrupts Noy before she finishes) Who do you think you are ... all snuggled up in my mans arm and still have the
guts to look me straight in the eye and smile!

NOY: (smile started to fade) Umm what are you talking about?

JONI: Florence .... Hun you’re jumping to conclusions

FLORENCE: (gasped) How dare you accuse me of jumping to conclusions Joni! I just saw you with my own two eyes! (Florence
walks out and Joni follows her)

NOY: Um kaayyy ... will someone please explain to me wussup?

TAYA: (grunts) If I were you I’d stay quiet ... cuz the guy that you were all up against was my friends man!

NOY: (takes a seat next to Louis) Wow

LOUIS: (whispers to Noy) Aren’t you gonna say anything?

NOY: (smiles) Naw ....... this is interesting .... just like in those Thai lakorns that I watched when I was in California ... so much

TAYA: (marches up to Noy) That’s my boyfriend you’re sitting next to
