CUT TO: DOWNTOWN DISTRICT
EXT. ROOFTOP - NIGHT
SHADE THROWS ANTONIO TO THE ROOF FLOOR THEN LEANS AGAINST THE FIRE ESCAPE.
[Shade]
Okay, let's hear it. Why are you such an asshole? You got daddy issues or something. Nobody's paying you enough attention. What's the sob story.
[Antonio]
Why don't you let me out of these chains, first? Are you afraid that I'd kick your ass?
[Shade]
Buddy, I punched you once and you were out for 5 hours. You don't want this fight. So are you going to answer my question or what?
[Antonio]
I ain't got to tell you shit!
SHADE GETS UP AND WALKS ANTONIO OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING AGAIN.
[Antonio]
What? Am I supposed to be scared? We both know that you're not going to let me f-!
SHADE LETS ANTONIO GO AND THIS TIME DOESN'T HOLD ON TO THE CHAIN. ANTONIO SCREAMS AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS AS HE FALLS THROUGH THE AIR AND JUST BEFORE HE HITS THE GROUND SHADE OPENS A PORTAL ON THE SIDEWALK. ANTONIO FALLS INTO THE PORTAL THEN OUT OF ANOTHER PORTAL BACK UP ON THE ROOF OF THE SIMMONS BUILDING, HITTING AN AIR CONDITIONER UNIT BEFORE LANDING ON THE ROOF AGAIN.
[Shade]
Are you ready to talk now?
[Antonio]
$%^* you!
SHADE WALKS OVER TO WHERE ANTONIO IS AND PICKS HIM UP BY THE COLLAR.
[Shade]
I don't want to be up here all night you piece of shit! You're going to talk or I'm going to stop pulling my punches.
[Antonio]
You think somebody is supposed to be scared of you, huh? It's not gonna be nothing for me to get some guys together to come after you and put a cap in yo bitch ass!
[Shade]
And it'll be nothing for me to put you all in the hospital. I think the bills might hurt you more than I ever could. Get to talking!
[Antonio]
What's there to talk about? I think something is funny or somebody is weak, I call it. I call it because I'm a real negro and whatever I say—!
[Shade]
Whatever you say is just attributing to the depletion of the ozone layer with all that hot air that spews from your neck. I mean, I wanted to say something because I thought it would have been surprisingly deep or even cliche but you've just disappointed me and it's led me to realize that I just don't care.
[Antonio]
You think I'm supposed to care about any of that?
[Shade]
Nah, you don't have to care. You don't have to care at all. You just go ahead and keep pissing people off and I wonder how long it'll take before someone finally gets sick of it. I hope I can be there when that time comes.
[Antonio]
Ain't nobody ever going to be able to do that because I'm the realest negro around. I call the shots!
[Shade]
Oh, man, look out for the shot-caller that still lives with his parents.
[Antonio]
