ACT ONE
Scene one
(The sun is shining
through the church’s stained-glass windows. It is 11:00 in the morning, and the guest
speaker has just finished his
sermon. The congregation is riled-up. Rev.
Scott Sr. approaches the podium.)
Rev. E. Scott
Sr.: Hallelujah…Let the church say Amen!
(Church says Amen with random claps) We thank you Brother Samuel for
your words of wisdom and holy-ghost power! It is now time for our alter call.
Let everyone stand and make their way to the alter. It is time to pray… (People
moving around the church trying to make their way to the front. A few leave to
go downstairs.) Let’s bow our heads…. (A group of girls run downstairs to use
the vending machine. Ashley slowly walks down the stairs as Kenneth follows behind her. Kenneth gives
Ashley a hug when they get to the bottom of the stairs.)
Kenneth: Hey, Ashley… Don’t you need to be in the church praying?
Ashley: (Startled) Ooh… you
scared me…I prayed this morning.
Why aren’t you in there?
Kenneth: I’m thirsty.
Ashley: (Very sassy) There’s
a water fountain in the back of the church.
Kenneth: How old are you again?
Cuz your mouth is a little to smart for me.
Ashley: Seventeen and my mouth
is not smart…my brain is. (She leans over for some water.)
Kenneth: Well your brain must’ve
forgot to remind you to wear
a
bra…
Ashley: Umm… No! This outfit doesn’t require
a bra and your eyes
don’t have a license for this chest, so why are you looking anyway?
Kenneth: Well, with the size of
your breast you need on a bra… no
matter what shirt you have on. It might
stop people from
lookin’ at you.
Ashley: Lookin at me… or my
breast…
Kenneth: Both (He gives her a
smile and touches her hand to show
his interest.)
Ashley: Who told you you can touch my hand?
Kenneth: Oh, it was just a
friendly touch to show…
Ashley: Show what? You have a
woman… ain’t yall about to
get married.
Kenneth: I’m not married yet!
(The other girls come over. Kenneth
quickly changes his tone.) A’ight y’all, it’s time
to go back… Let’s go!
Ashley: They finished
praying… (Looking over at Kenneth) but some
of us need a little more prayer than others.
Kenneth: (He starts to use a
more stricter tone) C’mon, let’s get back
in there. As a matter of fact, I don’t
know why I see
the same people every week coming downstairs during
prayer time. If I see yall down here
next Sunday
I’m gonna have a talk with all y’all parents.
Do we understand each other?
(They all roll
their eyes)
Girl 1: Yes, Brother
Williams
Ashley: (Giggling softly) You
can talk to my mama. (The group
looks at her because she always speaks her mind.)
Kenneth: (He gives her a little
push on her back.)
Go on in there.
Scene Two
(Outside the church)
Girl 1: (putting her hands on her hips) A… Ashley… Are you gonna ride on the Rev’s
motorcycle?
Ashley: When?
Girl 1: Today… He said when
we come back for second service. He said we should change our clothes first.
Ashley: A’ight… Have y’all
seen my momma or Amber?
Girl 1: (Rushing her words)
Over there… they’re in the car waiting
on you.
Ashley: (Walking away fast) Oh… Okay. (Ashley excitedly gets in the car with her
mom and sister.) Mom! Can I ride on a motorcycle?
Monica: NO!
Ashley: Rev. Scott Jr. is
giving the kids a ride on his motorcycle. He’s only going around the block. Can I go!
Can I go please!
Monica: If it’s the Rev’s bike
then that’s fine, but please be careful. Motorcycles ain’t no joke. Make sure you hold on tight.
Ashley: I need to change my
clothes. Momma are you going to second
service.
Monica: Of Course!
(Coming back to
the church after a quick clothes change. Ashley steps out the car with all eyes were on her.)
Ashley: What? Is there something in my teeth?
(Looking at her mother. The boys are staring and smiling. The girls showing
much attitude. Ashley wore a low-cut short shirt with a pair of stone washed
daisy dukes.)
(Everyone
outside making little comments under their breath.)
Girls 1: It’s hot out here
but not that hot.
Ashley: I wanna make sure I
feel the breeze.
(The Rev.
starts his motorcycle and Girl 1 jumps on)
Girl 1: (As they pull off)
I’ll be back!
(Rev. goes
around the block once and brings her back.)
Rev. Jr.: Who’s next?
(All the kids
are screaming “me” while Ashley slowly walks
past to catch the Rev’s eye.)
Rev. Jr.: (Speaking franticly)
Ashley! Would you like to ride next?
Ashley: (With confidence)
Yeah sure.
(Ashley takes one look back
at the girls as her butt sits high up on the motorcycle. They ride around for
long time)
Rev. Jr.: Are you enjoying
yourself?
Ashley: (Straining to talk
against the wind) Yeah! This is fun…
(Choking) I think I just swallowed a bug! (They laugh) So… Where are we going? This doesn’t look
like around the
block to me.
Rev. Jr.: (Shouting over the
motorcycle’s engine) Well... I wanted
to take you a little farther… You know anytime
you want to ride all you have to do is call.
You should come by
the church tomorrow evening. I’ll give
you my number… I can see that you’re very mature so I know I won’t hear this
around the church. Does
your moms let you drive the car?
Ashley: (Leaning in closer to
talk in his ear) Sometimes… But she
likes me to drive her around. She says
it helps me to be a better driver… But on a different
note, I’m not a gossiper.
I may be a Gemini who talks a lot but I know when
to talk and what to say!
(Everyone seems
suspicious. Ashley gets off the bike and
walks toward her mom’s car.)
Girl 1: (Putting her hands
on her hips) What took y’all so long? I
only went around the block. My ride
wasn’t that long.
Random Where did y’all go? I wanna go on a long ride like that.
People: (Whispering) You have
to be wearing what Ashley got on!
Rev. Jr.: (Talking to Monica
and other parents) Sorry it took
so long. We got stuck in traffic. I tried to get on the expressway, but it was crowded so I
had to get off…
Okay! Who’s next? This is the last ride I need to catch up with my wife.
ACT TWO
Scene one
(It is Sunday morning again and the usual is
happening. The Rev. Sr is preaching and everyone is feeling his sermon. He starts to introduce a new face to the church.
He is sitting in the pulpit with
the rest of the pastors and guest speakers.
Everyone is gossiping
about this young looking brother.)
Rev. Sr.: (Shouting) Can I get
an amen? (Everyone responds)
Now, at this time I would like to
introduce a new
member to our family. This young man’s father and
I used to be in missionary together. I can remember
going over to his house and seeing this
little kid. Couldn’t have been no more than five, six
years old; he was
just running around the house, singing and
playing his keyboard. When he saw me… he came up
to me and said, “God told me that I have a message to deliver you know?” I grabbed this little boy and gave him the biggest
hug. I told his father to send him to
me when he was ready. And look at you
now (He turned to
look at Frank) all grown-up and ready to speak
the word! Hallelujah! Let’s give a warm welcome to Rev. Frank Smith. (Everyone says amen) Rev.
Smith can you come
down here so everyone can shake your hand.
Monica: (Walking with the
crowd. Talking to her friend Felicia.)
When I saw him from a distance he looked much
older with all that hair on his face. But he ain’t nothing but a baby. He would be prefect
for Ashley. She needs some guidance and structure.
She needs more
Jesus!
Felicia (Putting her finger
to her lips) Sshhhh…. We are
getting closer.
I don’t want him to hear us talking about him
already.
Monica: (Shaking his hand)
Welcome to Greater Faith Baptist…
We’re sure glad you’re here. (She gives him a hug)
(Church
ends. Ashley stands around to meet the new pastor. Rev.Sr. and Jr.
are showing him around the church.)
Rev.Sr.: Hey son… You are
gonna love being here. I have a place right next door.
It’s only a one bedroom, but the rent
is free as long as you minister here. (Giving Frank a big smile)
Rev. Jr.: Yeah, I’ll show you
everything you need to know. It’s gonna be nice hanging out with you and teaching you at the same time. All you need to
know is our church cares about
the people and we strive for the best.
We are opening
a school on the second and third floor of the church. We are also trying to
build houses on the next block.
We’re just waiting for the okay! Our choir is going
on tour and as you know Brother Williams is the choir director. He plays the organ and
directs. I’m sure Rev. Scott will let
you play for the church for a while. (Rev.
Sr. interrupting Rev. Jr.)
Rev. Sr.: Uh… I don’t mind you
playing for the church, but you will
have to be in the pit on Sunday mornings.
You can leave the
pit to play! Brother Williams would love to have
you on his team. I’ll talk to him and let
him know. Choir rehearsal is
on Tuesdays for the young adults. I want you to help him get the choir
together to go on tour.
Frank: Okay Rev.Scott… and
again… Thank you for your hospitality. I really appreciate all
that you are doing… And
I can see that I’m learning from the best. (The First Lady and their daughter, Melissa walks up.)
First Excuse me, Rev…
What time are we going out to eat?
Lady:
Rev. Sr.: Honey, This is Rev.
Smith’s son all grown-up. Frank… (Grabbing her hand) This is my lovely
wife Kathleen Scott,
The First Lady. She’s over the woman’s board. You’ll
see her a lot when you come over for dinner… (Putting
his hands around Melissa) And this young lady is
my beautiful daughter Melissa. She is my youngest baby.
Melissa: (batting her eyes and
speaking softly.) Hello, it’s nice to meet
you.
Rev. Jr.: (Giving a look of
confusion) What’s wrong with you?
Rev. Sr.: (Looking at Jr.)
Leave her alone… (Turning towards First
Lady) If you all want to head to the car I will be right behind you.
First
Lady: Okay… (Turning
towards Frank) It was nice to meet you. Come by the house for dinner tomorrow night.
Frank: Yes, Ma’am…
(First Lady and Melissa
leave, while Sr. and Jr. takes Frank next
door to his new place.)
Scene Two
(All the young adults are in the choir stands ready
to rehearse, Kenneth is on the organ.
Frank enters, all eyes are on him.)
Kenneth: (Standing up from the
organ) Choir… You all remember
Rev. Smith… Well he is gonna be helping us get
ready for our tour. We have a tour of 20 cities to bless with the Holy Ghost! (Choir starts
shouting and
clapping) We have two months to prepare… and we
will be ready! (More clapping and cheering)
Frank: Hello, everyone…
It’s a pleasure being here and I want you
all to know that I’m here to help so use me. (A few comments from the crowd.)
Ashley: (Leaning over to
Kathy) I’ll use him… I wonder if
he’s available. You know mama said he’s
only 22. He’s a
young vibrant thang! (giggling) He’s
only four years older
than me… and you know how I like my men
older.
Kathy: Girl! He’s five years
older than you.
Ashley: (singing) Age ain’t
nothing but a number!
Kathy: He is cute with his…
Kenneth: Excuse me choir!
Everyone: Yes, Brother Williams
Kenneth: Can we begin?
(Directing Rev. Smith to the keyboard next
to the drum set.) You can play this one if you like.
Frank: This one is fine,
thanks.
Kenneth: A’ight, choir… let’s
begin…(Giving the choir a signal to
stand. He starts playing the organ and Frank joins in. The choir sings a gospel medley.)
(Blackout)
(Choir rehearsal was over
and everyone gathered outside to wait
for their ride or to gossip. Everyone crowds around Frank to talk to him. Ashley and Kathy stand away from the crowd trying to observe.)
Ashley: (Smiling very hard)
If everyone leaves in time, I’m gonna
go talk to Rev. Smith! Imma ask him for a ride so
if he says, okay, you can go.
Kathy: In time for what? For
people to notice that you’re stalking him… He’s cute and all but he
just got here… and
plus… I heard he likes Melissa.
Ashley: Who told you that?
Kathy: (Counting her
fingers) Well… Tasha told Stephanie who
told Regina that
she saw him going in the Scott’s house
and…
Ashley: Yeah! Mama told me
that First Lady invited him to dinner.
(Smacking her lips) He is a man… and you know
they don’t cook! Plus he’s young. Mama said they
are putting him up in that extra apartment next door from the shop.
Kathy: (Counting her
fingers) But… Tasha told Stephanie who told…
Ashley: I get it!
Kathy: Anyway! They said
they saw Melissa leaning on his shoulder
with her hand on his leg. It was only them two out
there. (Ashley interrupts her.)
Ashley: What! That bitch! She
thinks she can pull who ever she wants just because she’s the Rev.’s
daughter. Who cares!
She must don’t know me.
Kathy: You know Rev.Sr or Jr ain’t gonna let
none of that happen. I heard that Rev. Jr told him that his sister was off
limits. He told him that she needed to focus on her schooling. You know she
been saying she wants to be an actress, but her dad wants her to be a lawyer.
Ashley: Well, they gonna need a lawyer in the family, cuz after I steal
her man she’s gonna wanna kill me. Plus… (Hesitating for a while) I’ve been
messing around with Jr. (Kathy eyes got wide) I haven’t told no one cuz you
can’t trust no one around here.
Kathy: Girl! Why didn’t tell
me? You know I can keep a secret.
Ashley: Well… (Looking over
at Frank, noticing he was walking
towards his car.) I wonder where he’s going? I’ll
be right back…… or not!
Kathy: Ash… you suppose to
tell me the story.
Ashley: Later Kathy, I need
to catch up with him.
Scene Three
(Ashley is sitting in
Frank’s car.)
Ashley: Thanks for driving me
home. My friend was going the opposite
way from my house.
Frank: No problem! So how
long have you been at this church?
Ashley: All my life… This is
where my grandmama was baptized. This church has a lot of history… so what’s up with you and
Melissa?
Frank: Who said something
was going on? We’re just friends and…
Ashley: And a friend is
someone you’ve known for a while. Is your
while considered a day or two.
Frank: How old are you
again?
Ashley: Again? I don’t
remember me telling you a first time.
Frank: You a little sassy
you know that?
Ashley: And you’re a little
handsome… you know that? (They both
smile) So… What’s up with you and Melissa... or you and me…
Frank: Nothings up with me
and Melissa… but we can discuss more
about me and you. So where do you live?
Ashley: I’m right down the
street. Go to the light and make a right,
then go down two blocks and you’re there. (Pulling
up in front of her house) Here is my cell number
use me… I mean use it. (Ashley exits the car)
Frank: (talking to himself)
Damn! She’s fine with her sassy ass.
I wonder…
Ashley: (Coming back to the
car) Wonder what? Wondering if we
can get together? Sure… (Leaning over
him) Oh, here it is…
my lip-gloss. Talk to you later.
Frank: Hey Ashley! Who’s
home?
Ashley: Nobody… Mama and
Amber won’t get here til after 11. She
had to go visit her mother.
Frank: Wouldn’t that be
considered your grandmother?
Ashley: Yeah… So are you
coming in or what?
(The lights go dim.
Ashley and Frank are in her bedroom)
Frank: Have you done this
before?
Ashley: Done what? Had sex…
Uh… Yeah, everybody’s doing it.
I’m just better at it then they are. (Laughing)
Frank: (Looking at her up
and down) You are so sexy… (kissing
her lips) I love the way you smell. What kind of
perfume is that?
Ashley: Zest mixed with
Crest.
Frank: (laughing) You
crazy! (Starting to kiss her breast) What time
is it?
Ashley: 10:30… You got thirty
minutes.
Frank: I only need five.
(He moves his hands farther down her leg.)
Ashley: (Feeling on his pants
legs) Where is the condom?
Frank: (Reaching in his
pocket) Right here… Come here…
(They move to
the bed and get under the covers.)
Ashley: (Moaning) Please be
gentle!
Frank: I will
(Three minutes later)
Ashley: I thought you said
five minutes.
Frank: If you wasn’t so
hot, it would have taken me longer. (He
kisses her.)
Ashley: Oh…Sshhh… Did you
hear that?
Frank: Hear what? (He jumps
up) What time is it?
Ashley: I don’t know but my
mama is here early… You have to go…
My mama likes you, you don’t want her to catch you
here. She already thinks we make a good couple. She would think it’s too soon for you to be in
her house,
and in my bed. (She kisses him on the forehead)
Frank: I need to leave
because the Rev can’t know I’m over here.
(Grabbing his clothes) Man, I hope she doesn’t notice
my car. What’s the quickest way out? (Grabbing his
coat)
Ashley: (Grabbing him) This
way! She always puts her car in back,
so you can leave through the front.
(Ashley hears keys at the
back door, she opens the front door)
Frank: Bye… I’ll call you
Ashley: Yeah… Okay (She runs
to the back door and opens it) Hey,
Ma!
(Blackout)
Scene Four
(Another day at choir rehearsal. Everyone is sitting down talking, waiting
to start.)
Kathy: So girl, what happen?
Ashley: What happened when?
Kathy: Don’t play with me…
you know what I’m talking about.
Ashley: (Ashamed) Oh that… Well… I wished I’d
never done it.
Kathy: Why? Was it good?
Ashley: It’s not that… it’s
just that he has a wife and I really don’t
wanna play house. I’m looking for mister right.
Kathy: Besides his marriage,
what else, what’s wrong?
Ashley: Well, we’ve been
kickin it for a minute. He would come
get me and take me to get something to eat. You know that new green Pontiac he got… It’s hot! We took
a drive downtown one day, cuz he had to drop something
off. He told me to lean back in my seat, cuz he knew too many people down there.
Then the other day he
called and told me to meet him at the gas station around the corner from my house. I don’t know
why he didn’t
wanna pick me up at the house. I told him my mama
wasn’t home. He was acting all scared and shit!
Kathy: What did you have on?
Ashley: I had on a white pair
of short shorts with my Old Navy shirt.
And girl it had the nerve to rain. We drove around his neighborhood, which I don’t know why we did
that; you know all his
church folks live around there. He was talking all nasty and
stuff and he wanted me to go in
the store to get some condoms. I told
him I don’t buy
condoms, I get them for free. But since
I didn’t have any free
condoms on me, he had no choice but to go
buy some if he was planning on hitting this.
Kathy: You crazy! So did he
get some?
Ashley: Yeah! I wasn’t
playing. He went to a store around some forest
preserve. So we stopped and parked. He suggested we get in the
backseat. I wasn’t expecting to see
what I saw.
Kathy: What did you see?
Ashley: Well for starters,
Edward was trying…
Kathy: Edward…
Ashley: Umm, yeah! Once you
hit this, we become intimate. Anyway… Edward was trying to impress me
by asking
me what I wanted. He told me that I
could have whatever
I want, like I’m some hoe.
Kathy: What did you ask for?
Ashley: Nothing! I was just
surprised that he came at me and that
I could pull him. I didn’t feel comfortable at all. His body looks nice with clothes on, but once
he took them off everything fell. (They laughed)
Kathy: Is he that fat?
Ashley: Well, when you see
him with his clothes on, you would think he has muscles… NOT! He has a
whole lot of stomach
and very thick thighs to be a man. And Girl you
won’t believe where his birthmark is?
Kathy: Ooowee… where? On his
ass! (They laughed)
Ashley: N’all… On his dick!
Kathy: What? Are you for
real?
Ashley: Yeah, when he pulled it out and told me to
rub it, I looked at it and said… “Damn! What the hell is that?” I thought
something was wrong with it… or him. He said it was his birthmark. I asked him
how does he feel about it being on his dick? He said the women ain’t
complaining and Rosco always stands strong. I asked who was Rosco? And guess
what?... come to find out he names his stuff.
Kathy: So what does it look
like?
Ashley: It’s kinda thick and
average size with the top covered
with a white
birthmark. It was gross. Girl these men are crazy.
Kathy: Yeah, girl we knew
that all men were crazy. That’s why we
like them.
Ashley: No! These men in here
are crazy… Kenneth is stalking me.
I can’t get him to stop following me.
Whenever I go
downstairs, I always see him there. It’s like he comes down there when he knows
I’m there.
Kathy: He’s on anything
that’s fourteen and older. (They laugh)
Ashley: Edward with is penis
discoloration… Ooh, he’s just a liar!
I can’t believe he cheated on his fine ass wife with me. I know I’m fine but they have a baby
together. He don’t
even care and that’s what turns me off about him. He just wants to stick his dick in
anything that moans. If I were in his shoes, no
temptation in the world would make me cheat on her. And as for Frank…
I really like him. He’s a lot of fun and we have a lot in common. I’m supposed to go over
his house tonight. You know I have
to wait til everyone leaves the church. I’m tired of throwing a rock at the window, just so he
could open the back
door. I wanna come through the front!
Kathy: I don’t know why
y’all can’t tell people y’all together.
Ashley: He said we needed to
wait til he gets his own church and
I can be his First Lady. (Looking up at
the ceiling.)
Kathy: Are you serious?
Ashley: Yes… and you know I
gets what I want.
Kathy: What about Melissa?
Ashley: Melissa who? She
betta get a life and stay focused on school,
cuz she will get her feelings hurt playing this game with me.
Kenneth: (Elevating his voice)
A’ight can I get everyone to come to
the choir stand. We have a new song I want you all to learn. I have two people that have the potential to tear this song up! So let us
get started. I want to see Melissa and Ashley. (The girls walk
toward the organ) I wanna hear both y’all sing.
(Frank and Kenneth
started playing and Melissa starts to sing.)
Melissa: (Sounding hoarse)
(the choir joins in) It’s
over now, it’s over now, I feel like I can make it, the storm is over now.
Kenneth: That sounds good we
just need to work on a few notes… Ashley it’s your turn.
Ashley: (Music starts) verse
(the choir joins in) It’s over now, it’s
over now, I feel like I can make it, the storm is over now. (Ashley starts to feel the song) Hallelujah,
Thank you
Jesus… (She does a bunch of runs and the choir
gets rowdy.)
Kenneth: (Shouting) That was
beautiful… Thank both of y’all.
(They go back to their
seats, people are patting their backs
saying “Good Job!”)
Ashley: Thanks… Kathy how was
that?
Kathy: That was tight… You
sang your butt off. Who was you trying to impress?
Ashley: The man on the
keyboard.
(Choir Rehearsal is over.
Kenneth comes up to Ashley.)
Kenneth: Ashley… Can I talk to
you for a minute?
Ashley: What’s up?
Kenneth: I really enjoyed
watching you sing. And I was wondering if you would like to get
together to rehearse the
song.
Ashley: Oh, so I got the
song.
Kenneth: Yeah! You sounded great
and you look good as hell. You
should meet up with me so I can help you with the song.
Ashley: How are you gonna
help me?
Kenneth: (Standing behind her,
grinding on her butt) I can…
Ashley: What!... What are you
doing?
Kenneth: (grabbing her closer
and moaning) Oooo…. Ooh… Wait…
Ashley: (Pulling away) Let me
go! You’re nasty… I know you didn’t
cum that quick!
Kenneth: Man… I’m sorry.
Ashley: I’m not feeling you
like that… You’ve been messing with
me for years. I’m tired of you being downstairs when I’m there. I don’t like it when you look at my
breast. When you hug me
it just doesn’t feel right. I think
you’re sexy and all, but I don’t like what you’re about. You
are not my type. I just respect your music. I’m
not gonna step on your girlfriend or soon to be wife’s toes. I like her and she is cool peeps…
plus, she’s
pregnant… I just don’t get you guys!
Kenneth: Us guys… What do you
mean?
Ashley: Y’all have women and
don’t even wanna be with them. Y’all
need to just let them women know, so they can move
on.
Kenneth: I can’t help it… I love
women!
Ashley: And if you told those
women how you are they wouldn’t
love you. (Walking away) MEN!
Scene Five
(Ashley was invited to Frank’s house after church on Sunday. Edward
is in his office and
Kenneth is sitting in the parking lot)
Ashley: (On her cell phone)
Hey Kathy. Why do I think I see Kenneth’s
car in the parking lot? I told you he’s following
me.
Kathy: What is he doing
there? Is he in the shop?
Ashley: N’all… The shop is
closed. Nobody should be in the building
but Frank. (Whispering) Girl! He’s sitting in his
car. (Ducking down) I hope he don’t see
me. Girl let me go…
I’ll call you… Aw! Hell N’all… I think I see
Edward’s car too. What the fuck is this “Catch Ashley Up Day” … Kathy…
Kathy: Yeah, girl… Whatcha
gonna do?
Ashley: I was gonna ask you
the same thing.
Kathy: Call him.
Ashley: A’ight bye
Ashley: (Making a phone call)
Hello
Frank: Hey, what’s up with
you?
Ashley: Is the coast clear,
cuz I see Edward’s car and Kenneth is sitting
out here.
Frank: Rev. Jr. is in his
office and he said he was leaving in five
minutes. I don’t know why Kenneth is out there. Well he could have been in the shop, cuz they
just closed.
Did he see you?
Ashley: I don’t think so…. But
I’m not trying to be seen. I don’t need no trouble,
cuz my mama would kill me.
Frank: Wait for about five
minutes then come in. I will leave the
front door open and my red light on in the apartment.
The door will be unlocked.
Ashley: (Smiling) A’ight
(Ashley walks up to the
front door and opens it, it makes a squeak)
Ashley: Hello…(Frank stood at his door. Kenneth
walks through the front door.)
Melissa: (Coming down the
stairs from Rev. Sr.’s office) And where
do you think you’re going, Ashley? I know not my
man’s house.
Rev. Jr.: Melissa…Where do you
think you’re going? I know I didn’t
hear you say your man.
Melissa: umm… I was coming to
ask Rev. Smith something.
Rev.Jr.: No you wasn’t… Does
daddy know? Uh… Who’s that
at Rev. Smith’s door? (Ashley peeks her head out) Ashley? What are you doing here so late?
Ashley: Not you!... (being
sassy) I came to give Frank something.
Melissa: Give him what?
Rev. Jr.: What do you care?
You’re not supposed to be dating him.
Kenneth: What’s all the
commotion about in here?
Ashley: Why are you here? I’m
tired of you following me. You’re
a nasty pervert… Cumming on my ass in 5 seconds!
I feel like I’ve been raped for years… (Coming
to a realization) Oh! Now I get it, when you
hug women you are cumming at the same time. And the only reason I didn’t tell anyone, was because I was confused. And
word around church is, you’ve messed
with all the girls over the age fourteen. (Kenneth
stood there with a blank look.) And Melissa…
(Walking out the door) if you are fucking Frank, I guarantee you (rubbing her
ass) he’s gonna remember
me. (Frank smiles) Oh and Edward make sure
you tell your wife I’ve also been acquainted with ROSCO… May god bless us all! (slamming the door)
(BLACKOUT)
ACT TWO
Scene One
(Frank’s house)
Frank: (On the phone)
Listen… wait… N’all it’s not like that. She’s
cool and all but we’re only friends. Yeah, she likes
me… But Rev. Sr. has spoken… N’all, I do like you… (a knock at the door) A…
hold on for a second. Let
me go, I’ll call you later. (Hanging up) (lights go down)
(Lights come up. Ashley
and Kathy is driving in Ashley mom’s
car)
Kathy: I thought you said we
was going to the store. The store is
back there.
Ashley: Man… I just need to
see for myself.
Kathy: ASHLEY!
Ashley: What?
Kathy: Are you crazy?
Ashley: Yes! Crazy for Frank!
(Sounding evil) And I can’t let Melissa
get him…Man, Kathy we really bonded. It wasn’t
just sex, sometimes we didn’t even have sex we just
talked. I’m talking about talked til the sun came up. I like what he’s about and I know he likes me. Melissa is just throwing herself on
him because she wants it all. Well,
this is one thing she can’t have.
(They pull up to Frank’s
house.)
Ashley: Okay, Kathy you stay
in the car… if I’m not back in ten minutes
or something seems weird come in. Just act like
you trying to see if the shop is open. (She closed the car door.)
Kathy: (Rolling down the window)
Okay! Hey, Ash… Be careful.
Ashley: A’ight
(Ashley goes up to the
front door and opens it)
Ashley: (Talking to herself)
Okay, that’s one door… one more left.
I wonder what he’s doing? (She reaches for Frank’s
door knob.) Why is the door unlock? Now see, black
people don’t go into unlocked doors, but in this case I’m trying to see something. (She walks in)
Frank: (moaning) OOWW!
Right there… A little slower. Yeah that’s
it… Come here!
Ashley: (She barges into the
room) Aw! Hell N’all…Come where?
Unh uh… Melissa, you can get off your knees I’m
sure your daddy won’t appreciate seeing you that way. Frank you disgust me. (She storms out his apartment.
Frank comes running out)
Frank: Ashley, Wait! It’s
not what you think…
(Kathy gets out the car.)
Ashley: Then what is it? She
was just washing your balls with her
tongue and blowing your dick with her hot breath.
Frank: N’all she just…
Melissa: (Interrupting, still
fixing her clothes.) I just what!
You didn’t tell her that we was together?
Ashley: Together when? Not
last night! Maybe when he’s at your
parent’s house!
Melissa: (Walking toward
Ashley) Baby, we been fucking for a while.
Ashley: Well you’ve been
fucking us cuz we been fucking since the
beginning. And I know you ain’t got skills to pull shit without throwing your last name
around.
Melissa: (Grabbing Ashley’s
hair) I’ll throw you around… Bitch
Kathy: (Running towards
Ashley.) What the fuck? Let her go…
(hitting Melissa) Bitch!
Ashley: N’all let me go Kat!
I’m bout to fuck her up.
Frank: (Grabbing Melissa)
Stop! This ain’t called for.
(Everyone from the shop
comes outside including Rev. Sr.)
Rev. Sr.: (Running to Melissa)
What’s going on?
Ashley: You’re daughter’s a
hoe.
Rev. Sr.: Melissa! What is she
talking about? Why are y’all out here
acting like this? Come into my office! (Heading towards the office, talking to the crowd.)
There’s nothing
going on here, y’all can get back to what it was y’all was doing.
Melissa: (Sitting in the
office) Daddy! It wasn’t my fault.
Ashley: What! Girl you betta
get it right. Yo, ass stepped to me. I
ain’t nobody’s punching bag.
Rev. Sr.: Lady! Get a hold of
yourself. I need to know the whole situation. Ashley you start.
Melissa: Daddy!
Rev. Sr.: I think I’ve heard
enough out of you. Go head, Ashley…
Ashley: Well, Rev. Sr. I was
coming to see (pointing at him) Frank. I thought something was wrong because his door was open. I walked in
and saw Melissa…
Melissa: Daddy, she’s lying.
Ashley: (With an attutide)
She was on her knees giving Frank oral
pleasure.
Frank: N’all Rev. Sr. it
wasn’t like that.
Ashley: That’s the same thing
he said to me when I found her sucking
his dick.
Melissa: (Rev. Sr. looking
surprised) Daddy!... Wait! Let me explain.
Ashley: I was disgusted… The
only thing I said to her was that she
can get off her knees, daddy wouldn’t like that…
Rev. Sr.: (Very upset) Let me
get this straight. All y‘all… fornicating around here, huh? (beat) Melissa, I am so disappointed in you. And
Frank… I didn’t bring you here
to be the pimp in the church.
These people will be putting
their trust in you… you know that? (beat) Now what
are we gonna do? I tell you what… everybody get out… so I can think. Ashley, can you also
please wait around for a minute? I would like to
talk to you as well.
Ashley: (She walked out the
door) Okay…
Kathy: (Waiting by the car)
What happened?
Ashley: Nothing… You know
daddy’s little girl is just in a little trouble.
He’s mad at Frank too.
Kathy: What about you?
Ashley: What about me? He
said he wanted to talk to me. But, I’m
not trying to hear him. He’s not worried about me, he just wants me to keep my mouth shut. You
saw all those
people out there! That is his little girl… Now you know the people in the shop is wondering what was going
on?
Kathy: Yeah, girl you know
they are sitting around trying to figure
out why we were whipping her ass. (They laughed)
Ashley: Girl, let’s go
Kathy: Didn’t he tell you to
wait?
Ashley: Yeah, so… I need to
get home so I can tell mama. (They
drive off.)
Kathy: Do you think she’s
gonna be mad?
Ashley: Yeah… She don’t like
me to fight. Plus, I have to tell her
about Rev. Jr. and Frank. She’s gonna think I’m nasty. I just have to tell her that I truly
like Frank and I thought
we had something special.
Kathy: What about Rev. Jr.?
Ashley: Well, I was only
messing with him because he came at me.
I thought it was flattering that an older man was liking me. And girl it didn’t hurt that he
was kinda cute, and he had
some money. Also, he was married with a child.
See, I was only looking at the fact that I was pulling this man, with all
this baggage…It was easy though,
cuz he was already looking at me, and all I had to do was talk to him and tell him what he
wanted to hear… and
why am I telling you this when I’m gonna have
to turn around and tell mama the same thing.
Kathy: To get your story
together, cuz the shit is about to hit the
fan!
Ashley: Don’t say that… I
didn’t want this to happen. The only reason I went to his house is cuz I’m
really feeling him. We
did things I’ve never done with anyone. Why can’t I have what I want!
Kathy: Do you really think
you could have lived that life-style?
Ashley: Uh- yeah… I’m… I’m…
Kathy: You’re what… Not into
the church life-style
Ashley: A life-style is a
life-style. (They pull up to Ashley’s apartment
and get out.) See you later…
Kathy: (Walking down the
street to her house) A’ight, girl… call
me.
Scene Two
(Ashley walks through her
front door. Monica and Amber are sitting
in the kitchen.)
Ashley: (Taking a breath)
Okay… here I go
Monica: Ashley is that you?
Ashley: (Very soft spoken) Yes, ma’am (slowly
walking to the kitchen)
Amber: Hey, Ash… Can you take
me to the store? I need some candy.
Monica: You don’t need any
candy… you would like some candy.
Amber: Yeah, I would like
some candy… Can you huh? Can you?
Can she mama? Can she…
Monica: After dinner… Are you
ready to eat… I made some greens,
macaroni and cheese with some baked chicken. (Looking
up at Ashley) Girl! What happen to you? Where
have you been?
Amber: Are you okay? What
happened to you?
Ashley: Don’t get mad mama… I
got into a fight.
Amber: Ooooooooo…
Monica: With who? Where were
you?
Ashley: I was at the church.
And it was…
Monica: It was who… Aw, don’t
tell me? (Putting her face in her
hands) Why?
Ashley: Mama, she started it,
you can call Kathy, she was there.
Monica: Was it worth it… now
our name is about to be dragged in
the mud.
Ashley: Mama, Melissa was
sucking Rev. Smith’s…
Monica: Ash… wait… Amber go to
your room.
Amber: Aw… Mama, do I have
to?
Monica: Yes, now go (Amber
leaves) Now what was you saying?
(Walking to her bedroom.)
Ashley: I caught Melissa
sucking Frank’s penis. She was mad and
embarrassed that she got caught on her knees.
Monica: What are you saying?
Ashley: I’m saying Melissa
was sucking Frank off… I was going
over there to talk to him…
Monica: What were you going to
talk about?
Ashley: Well… Mama, we’ve
been seeing each other for a while.
Monica: What? ... When?
Ashley: Mama, I’ve been
liking him since I first seen him and you knew that.
Monica: Yeah, but I wasn’t
expecting you two, to be getting it on,
so soon. I thought he was a respectful young man. Yeah, he’s fine and all but I thought he was
all about the Lord…
Ashley: That’s not all…
Monica: What else?
Ashley: Well, Rev. Jr. …
Monica: Rev. Jr. what?
Ashley: (speaking softly) I
had sex with him too, but it was a mistake.
Monica: (Raising her voice)
What! A mistake… Are you crazy? He’s
married with a child. (Getting closer in her face) Does his father know about this?
Ashley: (Walking backwards) I
don’t know… the only thing that
was said was that he wanted to talk to me.
Monica: What did he say?
Ashley: I didn’t stay, I
wanted to come home and tell you.
Monica: Is he gonna call me…
Ashley: I don’t know… he told
us to leave, cuz he had to think. Mama, I’m sorry… I didn’t mean for this
to happen… I … I just
wanted to be with Frank. He told me I would be
his First Lady.
Monica: He told you what? Y’all didn’t even date,
how you gonna be somebody’s First Lady if y’all never been seen together. What
about Rev. Jr.? How did you end up in bed with him?
Ashley: The day of the motorcycle ride he told me
he was interested in me. He gave me his number and a fake name to use when I
called him. He said, wouldn’t no one know but him.
Monica: What name was that?
Ashley: Terrell… But mama
see… He came at me. I thought it was
flattering to be hit on by an older man.
Monica: (Being sarcastic) An
older man with a baby! Ooo… how
great was that? You now have humiliated our whole
family. Did you think about that?
Ashley: No!
Monica: You know you’re only
seventeen and I can press charges
on him? What was he thinking? I should have known
when he took so long coming back from that ride.
(Taking a minute) Now what I’m I gonna do? I’m gonna
be the laughing stock of the church. (Monica’s phone rings.) Ashley, go in your room.
(She answers it) Hello…
Felicia: Girl did you hear
what happened?
Monica: (Sitting on her bed)
Aw… man… already
Felicia: So I take it you
know.
Monica: Girl, this is some
bullshit! Why it had to be me? So what
do you know?
Felicia: Well, the only thing people are saying is
that Melissa and Ashley was fighting over Frank. Frank has to go to some type of
ministry counseling then he can come back to the church.
Monica: What about Melissa?
Felicia: I’m not sure… no one
is saying… that’s why I’m calling
you cuz I heard this had something to do with Ashley.
See… these kids are growing up too quick. My little
girl is starting to feel herself…
Monica: Felicia, I don’t know
what I’m gonna do. I just feel like I
wanna cry… Lord, give me the strength… (Another call comes in) Felicia, I gotta go, another
call’s coming in.
Felicia: Okay, call me later…
(She hangs up)
Monica: (Irritated) Hello
Mother: Hi, Sister Magee… This
is Mother Morris… I was Morris calling
because I was concerned about Ashley.
Monica: (With attitude) Ashley
is fine…
Mother: I just wasn’t sure you
was aware…
Morris
Monica: (Yelling) Aware of
what? Aware of the fact that our church
is full of Devil’s… Listen… I’m not sure why you
called, especially when you’ve never called me before.
I can’t stand fake, phony people. All of y’all are hypocrites and I can’t be apart of this.
Mother: Sister Magee, I’m
sorry…
Morris
Monica: You sorry… Me too…
(Hanging up, yelling) Ashley come
here.
Ashley: (Walking in the
bedroom) Yes ma’am…
Monica: So our names are in
peoples’ mouths now… And it tastes
good to them. People love to see you down.
Ashley: Mama, I’m sorry…
Monica: I can’t hear sorry’s…
I only need to hear God telling me
what to do? You get yourself ready for tomorrow. Goodnight! (Ashley walks out the room.
Monica gets on her
knees) Lord, I come to you today because I have a problem. I need you to guide me in the
right direction. I feel very hurt and vulnerable, Lord
give me the strength
to follow you in this time of tribulation… these words I pray in Jesus’ name… Amen.
Scene Three
(Sunday morning and the
Magee house is very quiet.)
Monica: Amber and Ashley come
eat breakfast!
Amber: (Walking to the
kitchen) Good Morning! Mama, can I have
some orange juice?
Monica: Sure sweetie,
(Yelling) Ashley! Get your butt down here.
Amber: She was in her room
standing in the mirror.
Monica: Get down here now…
(Ashley enter the kitchen) That’s what
your problem is now, thinking you’re cute and everybody
wanna talk to you. The wrong person is gonna
talk to you and take your little ass. Sit down so we can eat. We don’t wanna be late for
church.
Ashley: Mama, can I have some
more bacon?
Monica: Yeah, but save me
some… Okay, now Amber… (Taking
a deep breath) It might be a little crazy in church
today. Just know that God loves you and sees all you do. If you respect yourself, you are respecting God.
Ashley: (teary eyed) I tried
to respect myself… (Crying) it’s hard
when you want someone to look at you… you think
it’s cool because you can say that you been with him, him and him and they are older than
you… (Monica
comes to hug her) But the truth is that they just wanna hit it and
quit it. I gave myself to them because I wanted
to be liked and now I don’t even like myself.
Amber: What’s wrong?
Monica: (Crying) I’ll tell you
later baby, Ash… It’s not you… You
are so smart and pretty, you don’t need any guy to love you. I love you. (Trying to smile) If
there is one thing
I’ve taught y’all about people, it’s that you are on top and everyone wants to be you. Boys want what
you got and
girls will try to take what you got… But baby, you
have to try to stay true to who you are, so you can keep what you got… (Slightly laughing) Do
you get me? …
Ashley: Yeah… (Smiling) I
think so…
Amber: I love you too Ash and I know God loves
you... She told me so. Did you know I talk to her every night? She told me we
was gonna be fine. She always tells me we’re gonna be fine.
Ashley: How do you know God’s
a girl?
Amber: Cuz… She told me so.
(They all laugh)
Monica: Let’s go girls… I
don’t wanna be late. (Rushing to put their
coats on)
Amber: Shot gun!
(Blackout)
(Pulling in front of the
church. All eyes on them.)
Monica: You see what I’m
talking about? And they suppose to be
‘God’s children’. Well, we are known as God’s special
plan. Remember who we are here for… He or she
will be watching. (They all takes a deep breathe and get out the car.)
Random Good Morning, Sister
Magee… (Looking her up and People: down)
Monica: Good Morning…
(Directing them to a seat) Sit next to me
Ashley.
(Church begins and Rev.
Sr starts his sermon)
Rev. Sr.: Let’s open our bible to Romans 5:8. Once you
find it please stand on your feet and read along. (People stand and start
reading) Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we
were still sinners, Christ died for us. (They stop reading) Now, according to
Romans 5:8, God demonstrated His love for us through the death of His Son. Why
did Christ have to die for us? Because Scripture declares all men to be sinful.
To “sin” means to miss the mark. The Bible declares “all have sinned and fall
short of the glory the perfect holiness of God” (Rom. 3:23). In other words,
our sin separates us from God who is perfect holiness righteousness and justice
and God must therefore judge sinful man. Amen… Amen (A few people catch the
Holy Ghost) Yeah…. (Music starts playing, everyone is doing the Holy Ghost
dance.)
Mother: (Running down the aisle) Thank you Jesus!
Morris
Thank you. (Ushers running behind her.)
Rev. Sr.: Alright, Mother
Morris… Amen, Brothers and Sisters…
At this time I would like us to pray… Rev. Jr (Rev.
Jr. stands and comes to the podium)
Rev. Jr.: Can we bow our
heads? Lord, we are gathered here today
to give thanks to you for all you’ve done. We thank
you for waking us up this morning and seeing fit for us to start another day. Thank you for
the clothes on our backs and the
homes where we dwell. Lord we thank you not only for the material
things, but we thank you
for giving us life to live freely…. always knowing that we can lay our problems in the hands
of the truly merciful.
Lord, God, we’ve all done wrong but you’ve blessed
us with your amazing grace; your son Jesus sacrificed his life so that we could
have eternal life. We all
come as God’s children saying thank you; everybody
says Amen. (Church says Amen, random applause,
music starts)
(Choir stands and sings)
(choir ends)
(Rev. Sr. approaches podium, members are riled-up)
Rev. Sr.: Yeah Choir! Yeah… I
love when my choir sangs . Not sings
but sangs! Alright choir… Amen, amen, amen. At this
time we would like to invite Sister Gilbert to bring us our weekly announcements.

grabbing the microphone from a Deacon)

Ashley: (Whispering) Mama…
Look at Kenneth going downstairs.
Monica: Why is he going down
there, shouldn’t he be on the organ.
(Leaning around to look) Who’s playing it now? (Everyone
is looking at her) Dagg… Did I forget to do something
in the mirror? (Continuing to look, while Sister
Gilbert is still speaking.)
Ashley: Well, he likes to
meet little girls down there so he can grind
on their butts. He’s been doing that to me for years.
Monica: (Loud outburst) AWW! HELL N’ALL… Why didn’t
you tell me! (Everyone starts looking at her) I can’t take this no more!
(Monica gets up and pulls
Ashley with her.)
Monica: (Whispering to Amber)
If things get crazy in here, here are the keys, go to the car.
Amber: Okay
Monica: (Interrupting Sister
Gilbert) I’m sorry Sister, but I need to
say this… (Deacons walk toward her.) Don’t you come
no further, with the mood I’m in, I could kill a nigga’.
Rev. Sr.: Sister Magee… This is
not the time or place for that. Please,
can we discuss this in my office.
Monica: (Speaking over the
mic) Your office can wait… I’m sure
the congregation would love to here this… (everyone
starts whispering to each other.)
Rev. Sr.: Sister Magee!
Monica: (Ashley standing next
to her) Rev. Edward Scott Sr., congregation… I never thought I would
see a day like this.
Growing up in this church for years I thought I had a big family. But instead, I got people smiling in my face, and fucking my
child behind my back. (The congregation goes wild)
Rev. Sr.: Sister Magee! Please
get a hold of yourself? This is the Lord’s
house, that language is not necessary, we don’t need…
Monica: Your son’s dick don’t
need to be in my daughter. (Everyone is shocked)
Rev. Sr.: My son did no such
thing. Deacons can you please escort
Sister Magee…
Monica: (Pushing them and
Ashley) I said… Don’t… come no closer.
(Pointing) Jr. (Yelling louder) Jr. you hear me.
(Member are scared,
everyone’s running out the church, except for the Rev’s, Kenneth, Felicia,
Ashley and Monica.)
Monica: (Reaching in her
purse) I want you to see some…
Rev. Jr.: (Trying to run) Oh
no… (Tripping over stuff) God help me!
(Hides behind organ)
Rev. Sr.: (Ducking down) Call
the cops!
Monica: (Pulling out the
bible) N’all, Call Jesus! .... I can’t even imagine how….I can’t believe how you
people can call this
place a house of the Lord. If we ain’t had no place else, we had our church... Well, what do
we have now? (The
church is silent, sirens can be heard outside)
(Monica is still holding
the mic, police arrive, Ashley is in shock.)
Police 1: Everybody freeze!
…What’s going on here?
Monica: This church is full of
Devils.
Police 2: We got a call that
someone here has a concealed weapon.
Monica: Officer, the only
weapon we have here today is a bunch of
men sticking their dicks everywhere. I wanna press charges on him (pointing to Kenneth,
re-entering from downstairs.)
(Police 1 grabbing him)
Kenneth: Let me go!
Police 1: Come on let’s go…
We’ll get to the bottom of this at the
station. (Walking slowly out the door)
Kenneth: I’m innocent!
Girl 2: (Enters from back
of the church) Kenneth told me he
was gonna break his engagement and we would be together.
I’m six months pregnant.
Felicia: (Running towards
him) You bastard! That’s my fourteen
year old daughter.
Police 2: (Grabbing her) Let us
take care of it. (Trying to fight her
way loose) Calm down ma’am.
Monica: Arrest him too!
(Pointing to Rev. Jr.) He’s been sleeping
with my seventeen year old daughter.
Police 3: (Approaching front of
church) Sir, you have to come with
me (Grabbing him) I’m sure we can get this all cleared
up.
Rev. Sr.: I’m coming too. Let
me call my lawyer.
Police 1: (Heading for the
front door) I’m going to put him in the car…
Police 3: I’m right behind you…
Police 2: (Felicia is still
rowdy) Lady Please! Calm down! If
you don’t, I’m gonna have to book you and take you down to the station…
Felicia: Hell n’all! That
nigga was raping my baby… (Grabbing the
officer’s gun) BASTARD! DIE
(A shot is fired)
Rev. Sr. (Running to the front
door) OH NO!
(Everyone screams, police
2 grabs the gun, police 4 grabs Felicia)
Police 4: (Radioing for help)
Two suspects down, can I get an ambulance right away!
Felicia: (Murmuring over and
over again) I got the Devils out your
house! I got the Devils out your house!
(Based on a true story by
Tiny)
