EXT: RICH BANKS OFFICE BUILDING- DAY
A beautiful shot of the building is viewed then moves on to the next scene.
INT: RICH'S OFFICE
RICH BANKS, 33, Caucasian is in his office along with his advisor GEORGE, 40. They both appear to be well dressed. GEORGE is sitting in the seat facing his desk while Rich is behind his desk standing over his desk holding today's newspaper and begins moving around.
RICH
They can't do this to me, who the hell they think they are?!
GEORGE
Who they hell they think they, Rich they are the IRS, they can do whatever they want you just lucky you aren't in jail right now
RICH
Ahh! George I'm too rich for this shit, rich people aren't suppose to have this kind of pressure, that’s what I pay you for
GEORGE
Ohh, thanks for the appreciation, remind me to send you a thank you card later
RICH
this isn't funny, this is an embarrassment, look at this they got my face all over the damn paper you got to get me out of this
-shows him the front cover of the paper with the subtitles "Rich time to pay up" and throws the paper back on the desk.
GEORGE
Get you out? Rich the only way to get you out of this is to pay up, that's the only way
RICH
Fine pay the 10 million just get this cleared up
GEORGE
Ah actually it's 50 million
RICH
What! I thought you said 10 million!
-GEORGE reads from the document in his hands
GEORGE
yes but that was up until IRS decided to audit you for the last 7 years plus it says here that they are repossessing your long island estate and all of it's contents which are set to be auctioned off in a few days.
RICH
well tell the IRS to kiss my ass, because they not going to see a dime from me nor take my fucking house, If they want to play games tell them to bring it on. That house has sentimental value, it was the first house I've ever purchased and I'm not about to give it up because of this shit. And Monica! How would she look at me after this, I mean we made plans tonight for god sake.
-GEORGE repeats partial of the name MONICA in a form of a question
GEORGE
Monic..? Rich I don’t think you understand your not giving up anything they taking it whether you like it or not. They can give a rat’s ass about what it means to you. All they care about is this debt and till it gets paid they are liable to take what they want there’s nothing I can do
RICH
Which side or you on?!
GEORGE
what?!
RICH
No which side are you on? because right now it seems like you want them to do this, you should be working your ass off trying to find another route but your not all I'm hearing is pay up, let them do this, let them do that. As my advisor you suppose to help my ass not hand it over like it's some kind of meat
GEORGE
I am your advisor and as your advisor if you had listen to me about paying your taxes you wouldn't be in this mess to begin with. You were the one who thought you could get away without paying your taxes I don't know who you think you are but even the President has to pay takes. IRS doesn't give special privileges to anybody even if you got a whole lot of money
-RICH signs
GEORGE
Besides I am helping you. I'm doing my best, you have to be patient with this type of stuff
RICH
No, I don’t think you understand me, this here!
-RICH picks up the paper
RICH (C'tnd)
Is a catastrophe, I can't have this under my belt. And don't tell me to be patient I hate that shit. Patients is for people who have hope, I have money, lots of money and that’s better than hope. Now all I want from you is to do your job and get this cleared up.
GEORGE
We're working on that, but you have to understand there’s countless procedures that must be taken in..
RICH
Fuck all the technical shit George! get this thing cleared up do what the hell you have to do and do it fast
-GEORGE pauses as he closes his document and prepares to leave. He gets up
GEORGE
Well I see there’s no getting through to you, I'm going to go ahead and settle this situation for you. In the meantime as your advisor, for once take my advice and go on a little vacation, take your fiancée and go have some fun. Take some time off till this whole thing goes away. Don't be dumb the IRS are the last people anybody wants to play with
RICH
Yea well we'll see about that, just call me when everything’s settled
GEORGE
-At the door
talk to you soon
-Exits

Shit. almost a minute
MONICA

RICH
What do you mean that's good, a rat fucks longer than me
MONICA
Don't be so hard on yourself
-gets up and goes to the bathroom

It's probably because of all the stress you've been going through lately, it'll get better
-Bathroom door closes
RICH
I'm too rich to have stress, I don't know why this is happening to me. for goodness sake I had to sneak into my own house tonight.
-Sound of the toilet flushes as the door opens and Monica is seen slipping into her night gown.
MONICA
Well you can't expect to live your life and think everything is going to go peachy just because you have money
RICH
And why not?, this whole world resolves around it, we practically bow down to the thought of money. that’s what we live by. nothing's going to change that
-MONICA gets on the bed
MONICA
Money can't buy everything Rich
RICH
You know I hate when people tell me that, tell me what can't money buy?
MONICA
Ok, that's easy. for one, a Viagra that works
-Looks down at his crouch
RICH
(A pause)
Ok you see that doesn't count
MONICA
How doesn't it count?!
-MONICA laughs
RICH
You know I'm going through some stuff right now. why are you laughing?, you were there when the Doctor said stress is the reason why my performance is the way it is, you heard him. After I take some time off and relax I should be back to normal
-MONICA laughs
MONICA

-RICH opens the door a little
RICH

MONICA
(Whispering)
Listen you dumb son of a bitch, there’s two guys in the house robbing you right now

BUBBA goes back to reading and MADINGO stands up and continues working out. The skinny white boy is sitting on the floor holding his knees with his arm crossed looking scared as if he just seen a ghost. MARCUS looks at him and picks up his sheets from the floor and puts it on the lower part of the second bunk bed. WHITE BOY stares at MARCUS as MARCUS quickly notices.
MARCUS
What the hell you looking at White Boy?!

EXT: RICH'S PRIVATE JET- NIGHT
A beautiful shot is taken of the jet in the sky
INT-RICH'S PRIVATE JET
RICH is in his jet flying to L.A. He is sitting down in a relaxed position drinking some type of alcohol as he speaks to GEORGE through a speaker phone.
GEORGE
I can't believe you went back to the house after I deliberately told you not too!
RICH
what was I suppose to do George let those punks steal my stuff and get away with it?!
GEORGE
Yes! Rich you have bigger problem than that. you're actually seeing jail time right about now. it's definitely a possibility at this point. All night I had attorney generals calling my house, IRS calling me asking me questions I don't have the answer to. and what do I do? I have to some how come up with some decent excuse to save your ass once more. when are you ever going to listen to me? you know Rich I'm not always going to be here to bail you out one day you going to have to learn things the hard way.
RICH
Yea, yea, yea, bluh, bluh, bluh, It's nothing I haven't heard before George. what did you say to them?
GEORGE
I told them the only excuse I can think of. you went back to the house to retrieve some personal items for your trip to L.A. what did you want me to say? I just hope when you get to L.A you stay there because if you stay here there’s no telling what the IRS will do. Where's Monica? is she with you?
RICH
No, she got pretty shaken about what happened earlier, she wasn't in a mood for a trip I guess
GEORGE
Well good, I think it's best if IRS doesn't find out you were with her at the house. And please, please I'm begging you, once you arrive in L.A stay there I don't care if it's raining rocks out there carry an umbrella. stay there till I take care of this
RICH
Alright George!
GEORGE
I'm serious Rich, this is not a joke. Call one of your lady friends or something, do anything that will keep you occupied till you hear from me
RICH
That's a good idea
-RICH talks to himself
RICH
I wonder what Karen’s doing?

a shot of Rich's beautiful California estate is viewed. this time most of the lights of the house are turned on.
INT: RICH'S BEDROOM
The bedroom is even more beautiful than the bedroom he has in Long Island. The camera captures the room's beauty and features. KAREN sits on the bed wearing a sexy laundary as Rich appears to be in the bathroom.
KAREN
Rich what's taking you so long?!
RICH
(Voice from door)
OK I’m coming out.
-Seconds later RICH opens the door. RICH is seen wearing no shirt, a pair of socks and Boxers with the phrase WARNING: BEWARE OF DOG. The boxers have a picture of a rotweiler in the background wearing some kind of dog collar. RICH jumps out and poses like a marvel hero.
RICH
Ahh!
KAREN looks at his boxers and laughs
KAREN
What is that?
RICH
What you don't like 'em?
-KAREN laughs again
RICH
Why are you laughing?
KAREN
I'm sorry it's cute baby, it's cute
RICH
Cute? what the fuck do you mean cute? I'm going for the aggressive, fierce at the same time sexy kind of look what the hell is cute?!
-KAREN laughs
RICH
You see
-RICH turns around like he's gonna go back into the bathroom. KAREN jumps out of the bed and runs to him

RICH
You do?
KAREN
Yes
-KAREN gives him a kiss
KAREN
I think it's very sexy
-KAREN and RICH both kiss as they move to the bed. KAREN falls back first onto the bed. KAREN laughs playfully then screams a little
KAREN
Ahh!
RICH jumps on top of her and starts kissing her more. He claps his hand and the lights turn off. The only thing that is heard through the dark screen is rich and Karen’s voice
RICH
You like that huh?
KAREN
Yes baby, give it to me
RICH
OK you ask for it, do what I like
-KAREN moans
KAREN
Oh Rich, yes Rich!
-a pause of silence
RICH
Damn it!
-RICH Claps his hands and the lights turn on. RICH is right next to KAREN sitting in a upright position while on the bed.
KAREN
Oh baby, not again!
RICH
I don't know what’s going on, I popped like five Viagra pills I should be wearing you out right now.
KAREN
Aw baby you being too hard on yourself, you've been through alot lately maybe you just need to relax, maybe you need to just rest.
RICH
Rest?! how can I rest? IRS is on my ass, I'm on the verge of losing one of my homes and I almost got robbed tonight how can anybody get rest after that?
-A short pause as KAREN is seen thinking to herself
KAREN
Maybe this is a sign
RICH
A sign? a sign for what?
KAREN
I don't know maybe we shouldn't be doing this anymore. you know me and you
RICH
Why not? what are you talking about?
KAREN
Just hear me out Rich, your getting married in a couple of months and your cheating on her with me
RICH
So!
KAREN
So?! rich she's going to be your future wife, you going to go and have kids together and we can't be doing this anymore this just doesn't feel right.
RICH
Feel right?! Karen the longest I can go in bed for is 40 seconds and that’s with Viagra. this whole thing about feeling right is the least of my concerns
KAREN
I just have a feeling that we shouldn't be doing this. This is wrong
RICH
Wrong?! who have you been talking to?
KAREN
Nobody, I've just been seeing a priest and he said......
RICH
Priest?! what are you now a nun now?
KAREN
No but he gave me some advice, This relationship isn't going anywhere and I can't be wasting my time aiding to you when ever you need a booty call I have to start respecting myself.
RICH
Oh please, the priest probably wants to get in your pants
KAREN
Well think what you want to think, I just think it's best if we end this right now before somebody gets hurt.
RICH
Look if this is about what just happened, I'm just going through some stuff all this is is some mechanical difficulties. A tube is probably out of line or something it's nothing the doctor can..!
-KAREN interrupts
KAREN
Rich!
RICH (C'tnud)
yea
KAREN
It's over
-KAREN starts to get out of bed
RICH
But it could be fixed!
KAREN
Rich it's not that, I just need to think about my future that's all
-a short pause as she starts getting dressed
RICH
Did this priest tell you to say this stuff? Give me his name and number I want to have a talk with this guy
-RICH goes into his drawer and takes out a pen and pad.
KAREN
his name is Father Thomas and you should have a talk with him a little god in your life wouldn't hurt you you know
RICH
Oh please I have everything I need already. What can god do for me?
-KAREN looks at him
KAREN
You know Rich, for as long as I known you you have been known to be one of the most cockiest, most arrogant person I have ever met. And it's not your fault I guess it's the way you were brought up. Ever since you were born you've been living this fairy tale of a life with all the money, cars and houses and you never not once until now been through any kind of struggle or suffered any kind of a loss. It's like your not human, you don't go through the things us regular people have to go through everyday and to tell you the truth that’s sad.
RICH
I can't help the fact that I'm rich Karen, my whole family from my ancestors to my father have been millionaires you can't blame me for being dealt with the lucky hand in life.
KAREN
That’s just the thing, you think you lucky but really your not. Everything you ever have has been given to you on a gold platter. You don't work for what you got you just received it, you don't know what hard work is you just there to pick up the credit of someone else and yes no one could blame you because it isn't your fault but mark my words when I tell you this, one day god is going to make you learn the hard way, you going to learn how it feels to be on the other end of the stick for once.
RICH
Then what the hell he's waiting for? I'm right here. everybody's keep telling me that and I'm getting sick of it. Don't stand there and judge me for how my life is. If you, the priest, god or anybody else for that matter have a problem about how I live my life let them do something about it or all of you can take turns kissing my ass.
-Thunder strikes but RICH is not affected by it. KARENS appears to be at the door with her coat on as she hears the last of his words. She goes into her pocket and takes out a card.
KAREN
I'm going to pray for you Rich
-KAREN puts the card on a nearby dresser and walks out following a short pause.
RICH
Fine leave, I don't need you
-talks from the doorway
RICH (C'tnud)
there's plenty more where you came from and it only takes one phone call
-The front door is heard closed. RICH looks over at the dresser where KAREN placed the card and picks it up and reads it

As 12:00 hits, a big struck of lightning appears with a enormous loud sound. It continues for a while showing more thunder and lightning plus some heavy rain. After a few seconds an average size bright white ball falls from the clouds and move towards the direction of RICH's house. We follow the light going through the window into the house and towards his bedroom.
INT: RICH's BEDROOM
The white light is almost in a still position as if it were watching RICH and MARGARITA sleep. RICH is on his side as MARGARITA has her arm around his and one of her legs on his thighs.

GUARD #1
What the....!
-The two lights pass him without him knowing and continue to make their way towards the cell.
INT: CELL #14/ MARCUS'S CELL
The two light hovers over MARCUS as he sleeps. The camera gives a shot of BUBBA putting his legs around WHITE BOY and holding him more tightly. The white light leads the red light into MARCUS’S body.

A beautiful camera shot is then taken of the house
INT: RICH'S ROOM
Marcus whom now posses RICH'S body is seen sleeping in the same position before the switch was made. With the sunlight slightly hitting his face RICH reacts by moving as he gets up out his bed and heads to the bathroom almost as if he were sleepwalking.
INT: BATHROOM
With his eyes still closed, he goes in and urinates. As he urinates a close-up camera shot is taken of his face as he slowly opens his eyes and looks down upon finishing. His eyes open widely as he stares at his penis.

RICH

RICH
My voice! why I sound like that? what the fuck is going on?

-RICH then takes a look at his surroundings
RICH
where the hell is my cell!
-RICH moves closer to the mirror as he examines his face.
RICH
What is this! I'm white! wait hold up I can't be white!
-RICH moves towards the toilet while the camera gives a close-up of his face watching his reaction as he takes out his penis. RICH talks to himself.
RICH
Ohh Shit! I'm White!
RICH goes back to the mirror and looks at himself again. He starts smacking himself. RICH speaks to himself after every smack to the face.

Look I don't know what you talking about and right now you really scaring the shit out of me right now, so this is what I'm gonna do, I'm going to call the hospital maybe they have a stray jacket they could put you in for a while I'm gonna go
-RICH moves a little closer

MARGARITA
I'm warning you psycho I have mase in my purse and I'm not afraid to use it.
-MARGARITA moves backwards to the door
MARGARITA
Apparently it's obvious that you need help! what we had last night was good, I appreciate everything you've done for me in the past but

MARGARITA

MARCUS goes in slowly as he keeps his eye on the other inmates. MARCUS slowly picks up the soap and starts rubbing it against his chest while at the same time watching the other inmates. As he does several strokes against his chest the soap slips out of his hands and falls on the floor. MARCUS looks down and then back at the inmates.

MARCUS
I got to call George, get my ass back to L.A and get the hell out this body

MARCUS
Ouch!
MIKIE (C'tnd)
You fools think you can play me?!
MARCUS
Play you? what are you talking about?
MIKIE
(Sarcastic)
You don't know what I'm talking about?!
MARCUS
No, I'm telling you you got the wrong guy!
MIKIE
Ok maybe this can refresh your memory
-MIKIE puts the gun directly to his forehead.
MARCUS
Ok Ok listen lets talk about this!
MIKIE
No more talking! I'm gonna give you one last shot to tell me where the fuck is my money or you and your little friend here are going to have your brain fragments all over this floor.
-CRAIG mumbles out of control. His eyes are wide open as he struggles to yell at MARCUS for not telling MIKIE
CRAIG
Hmmm! Hmmmm! hmmm!
-MARCUS looks really scared as the gun is touching his forehead while he's still on the floor
MARCUS
Ok I'll tell you! just.... just calm down for a minute. now tell me how much money are we talking about?
MIKIE
I want my $50,000 back plus the other 50 from the Banks job you two fucked up
MARCUS
Wait, what Banks job? you were behind the robbery at my house?!
-MIKIE points the gun more firmly to his head
MIKIE
I said don't fuck with me! I'm a very impatient man!
-CRAIG mumbles out of control. He's trying to tell MARCUS to stop playing with him.
MARCUS
OK OK so we talking roughly $90-100,000 is that all?
MIKIE
Where is it?
MARCUS
I don't have it
-MIKIE attempts to pull the trigger. CRAIG mumbles
MIKIE
BYE
MARCUS
But but but
-MIKIE stops
MARCUS (C'tnd)
I'll tell you what, I know where I could get 300 grand easy, I'll give you your $100,000 plus another 50 for your troubles just please don't hurt us
-MIKIE laughs
MIKIE
What? you want me to believe you? I find your friend here with his bags packed on his way to the airport and your ass in jail and you want me to trust you with another job?
-A short pause. MIKIE looks over to the SEQUIRITY GUARD
MIKIE
Shoot 'em!
-CRAIG goes out of control
MARCUS
Wait, wait, wait!
-MIKIE looks over at MARCUS. He puts his hands up indicating the SEQUIRITY GUARD to stop.
MARCUS
Please just wait! Nobody has to die today. Now I can get you the money that’s not a problem. You see I have some information on where Rich Banks is and I know that he has a safe that supposedly he only knows the combination too, but I know the combination to it. he should have around 300 grand stashed away and I can get it to you if you let me and my friend go right now. This is no lie, no games if we're not back by this time tomorrow you can be more than happy to have both our brains on your floor just as you described.
-CRAIG mumbles. MIKIE thinks as he looks at MARCUS.
MIKIE
Which house you talking about? the Fed are all over.....
-MARCUS interrupts.
MARCUS
I'm not talking about the one in N.Y, I'm talking about the one in Beverly hills
-MIKIE laughs
MIKIE
What you take me as? a fool? you think I'm gonna let you waltz out of here and let you go to L.A do I have dumb dumb on my forehead! Shoot 'em both!
-MALE #2 takes out his gun and loads it. CRAIG wines as he looks like he's about to cry.
MARCUS
Wait, wait! let me finish!
-MALE #2 and the SEQUIRITY GUARD stops from shooting
MARCUS
I can prove it, he has a house on Lexington rd it's a 3 stories mansion that takes up half the whole block with 14 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, he has a office on the second floor where he keeps his safe hidden behind a big portrait that he has of himself. He has 1 maid and a cook his maid works only daytime and his cook whenever he's in L.A. The security code to his house is 6754. he has 20 cameras around the premises but can all be controlled by the a security box which I have access too. all I have to do is go to L.A get to the safe and get the money. you get half and I keep half what do you say?
-MIKIE thinks
MIKIE
How do you know all this? are you fucking with me?
-MIKIE points the gun to his head again
MIKIE (C'tnd)
because if you are......
MARCUS
Of course not, you have a gun to my head why would I do that! come on you have to trust me!
MIKIE
Tell me the combination
MARCUS
Come on man If I tell you that, then you don't need us anymore. Just trust me! you'll get your money
MIKIE
150 G'S?
MARCUS
Every cent every dollar I'll even throw in a couple of bonds he got stashed in there
-MIKIE thinks
MIKIE
Ok I’m a take your little offer
-MARCUS reacts happy
MARCUS
Yes!
MIKIE
And I'm only taking such a deal because I know that you don't have the balls to screw me over a second time because if you do, I will make sure that these guys here come looking for you and when we find you
-MIKIE squats to his level to look him eye to eye.
MIKIE (C'tnd)
I'm gonna personally take pleasure in roasting you like a pig on a stick. alive. Both of you! well maybe just you because if you do decide to screw me over he goes first.
MARCUS
But that was part of the deal, I do this for you you let me and my friend go now
MIKIE
Nigga I make the rules here!, and I say you get me the money and I'll let you live how about that?!
MARCUS
What about him?
-MIKIE looks over at CRAIG
MIKIE

-MIKIE laughs and stands upright. he walks over to him and looks at MARCUS whose still on the floor.
MIKIE (C'tnd)
lets just consider him collateral!
-MIKIE hits him on the shoulder as he laughs a little. CRAIG wines and act as if he's about to cry.
MIKIE
Now by this time tomorrow
-MIKIE looks at his watch. The camera captures it at 2:00 p.m
MIKIE (C'tnd)
I don't hear from you or I don't get my money consider yourself a walking corpse.
MARCUS
That’s kinda harsh don't you think?,
MIKIE
Get the fuck out of my office!
-MIKIE goes to his desk. MARCUS gets up and makes his way out. CRAIG goes out of control mumbling something to MARCUS. MIKIE and MARCUS are aware and they stop and look at CRAIG
MIKIE
What the fuck this fool mumbling about? take the tape off!
-The SEQUIRITY GUARD takes the tape off violently.
CRAIG
OUCH!
-Looks over at the SEQUIRITY GUARD then at MARCUS
CRAIG
Hurry the hell up nigga! don't leave me in here man! I think I shited on myself twice since these motherfuckers tied me up
MARCUS
Be strong, I'll be right back
CRAIG
Be strong? nigga you don't see me tied up to a fucking chair with a gun pointed to my fucking head hell you talking about being strong? what wrong with you man?
-MALE #1 pushes MARCUS out the room. CRAIG's voice is heard
CRAIG
Hey Marcus! Marcus!
-MARCUS exits. We hear a punch to CRAIG's face
SEQUIRITY GUARD
I said shut up!
CRAIG
OUCH! Help!
EXT: MONICA'S HOUSE- DAY
A camera shot is taken of MONICA's house. Her house is alot smaller but at the same time still beautiful. MARCUS appears to be creeping towards the backyard. He reaches the back door and turns the knob while looking back to see if anybody's looking.
INT: KITCHEN
The door opens and MARCUS enters very quietly. We hear a beeping noise coming from the security monitor. MARCUS closes the door and goes to the security box where he punches in the numbers 5438 to disarm it. The noise stops and he moves from the kitchen onto the empty living room.
INT: LIVING ROOM
A camera shot of the beautiful living room is taken. He moves slowly across the living room and doesn't hear a sound. MARCUS whispers through the quiet living room.
MARCUS
Monica? Monica? where are you?
-MARCUS looks around and there's no answer.
MONICA
OH, AH, OH!
All of a sudden we hear MONICA moaning real loud from upstairs. MARCUS focuses his attention on upstairs. MONICA moans again
MARCUS
What the?
-MONICA moans even louder
MARCUS
Oh shit I know this bitch is not
-MONICA interrupts with her moaning. this time real loud. MARCUS moves upstairs quickly but quietly.
INT: TOP OF STAIRCASE
MARCUS reaches the top. He hears her moaning again
MONICA
Oh my God! Oh yes!
MARCUS
(whispers)
This fucking bitch!
INT: HALLWAY
MARCUS slowly creeps to her bedroom where the door is slightly opened. He tries to look in but the space is too narrow to see what’s going on. MARCUS slowly pushes the door open and peeks. Now we see MONICA masturbating under the covers with her eyes closed. The sound of a vibrator is heard along with the low volume television. MARCUS enters
INT: MONICA's BEDROOM
MARCUS goes to her bed where he can get a better view at her. MONICA continues to moan with her eyes closed. The camera captures a episode of the program "talk sex with Sue Johnson" with Sue Johnson holding up a dildo and talking. MARCUS is now looking down at her with an odd face as she still continues to moan with unawareness.
MARCUS
Monica what are you doing?
-MONICA opens her eyes and sees MARCUS. She freaks and screams
MONICA
AHHHH! AHHHH!
-MONICA falls of her bed and panics.
MARCUS
Shhh!
-looks around
MARCUS
Baby calm down it's me
-MONICA picks up the bat that she keeps by her nightstand.
MARCUS
Wow, wow, baby where you get that from?
-MARCUS sticks his hand out
MONICA
What are you doing in my house?!
-MONICA stands up real fast
MARCUS
Calm down baby, it's me Rich!
-MONICA prepares to swing.
MONICA
Rich my....
-gets a little close and takes a swing. MARCUS moves out the way as she misses.
MONICA (C'tnd)
ass. I know who you are!
MARCUS
Wow, are you crazy?
MONICA
You came to finish...
-She takes another swing. RICH moves out of the way as she knocks over some pictures and puts a hole in the wall.
MONICA (C'tnd)
the job didn't you?
MARCUS
Monica it's not like that, listen to me!
-MARCUS tries to move out of the way. He jumps over the bed onto the other side and stands across from where she's standing. MONICA holds the bat over her head.
MONICA
How do you know my name, who sent
-MONICA takes another swing from where’s she standing
MONICA (C'tnd)
you!
-MONICA leans over a bit too much and the bat becomes reachable to MARCUS. MARCUS grabs it.
MARCUS
Hey women it's me, RICH your damn fiancé why are you acting like this?!
-He holds the bat upside down. MONICA stares at him for a second and attempts to run towards the door.
MONICA
Help! Somebody Help!
-MARCUS goes across the bed to reach the door before her.
MARCUS
Monica?! where the hell you think you going!
-MARCUS gets in front of the door and blocks her from exiting. MONICA hits him across his chest with both her hands.
MONICA
Get away from me! help!
MARCUS
Just listen to me!
-MARCUS raises his voice
MARCUS
Listen!
-MARCUS makes an angry face. MONICA stops yelling and moves back.
MARCUS
Now I'm not here to hurt you
MONICA
What is it money you want? fine my purse is right there take it take anything you want
MARCUS
What? no! I don't want your money I just need to talk to you
MONICA
Talk huh, what kind of talk? you want to rape me is that it! listen if you rape me I'll have the whole city looking for you. you'll never get away with this.
-MARCUS stands there confused
MARCUS
Rape? whose going to rape you? Monica this is Rich you talking too! somehow last night my body got switch with the guy that robbed us yesterday
MONICA
Help!
MARCUS
shh! Monica your overreacting I don't know why this is so hard to believe. why would I lie why would anybody lie about something like this! If I really came here to hurt you don't you think I would have done it by now.
-MONICA stares then turns to the nightstand close to her where there’s a phone.
MONICA
Your crazy! I'm calling the police
-She attempts to go for the phone. MARCUS gets frustrated and a bit angry.
MARCUS
No!
-MARCUS picks up the bat and slams it down on the phone 5 - 6 times smashing it to pieces. She moves back and falls on the bed. MARCUS stops and looks at her. He points the bat towards her.
MARCUS
Now listen women, It's me! Rich! We met 4 years ago through your father in Chicago during one of his stupid conventions. We've been fucking engaged for 2 years, our damn anniversary is on march 15 and I only remember that because that's the day before your mother's birthday who by the way I hate. I always tell you everyday that I hope she sleepwalks off a cliff and plummets to a pit filled with hungry alligators. Our fucking wedding date is August 4th and you only choose that date because that’s the day your parents got married. Come on Monica the only reason why you didn't move in with me yet is because of your nosey parents. they always telling you no wait till you guys get married don't rush into things they why they brought you this piece shit you call a house. We were even thinking about selling this dumb so we can look for a place out in the Hampton. How else could I have known the security code to get in here?
-MONICA sits there stunned
MONICA
Oh my God! it is you
MARCUS
I know that's what I've been trying to tell you!
MONICA
But how?!
-she gets up and moves closer to him
MARCUS
I don't know, I woke up this morning to find myself almost getting raped by a couple of horny inmates.
-MONICA touches his face
MONICA
But your black!
MARCUS
I know tell me about it
MONICA
Oh my god this is so weird
-she starts caressing his hair
MONICA
Look at your hair, how does this work?!
MARCUS
How the hell am I suppose to know? I've been trying to figure this whole thing out since this morning not to mention I got threatened by a couple of thugs earlier
MONICA
What?! what did they say?
-She gasp with a smile
MONICA (C'tnd)
Did they call you the N-word?
MARCUS
What? Hey Monica you getting a little bit too excited. this isn't something to smile about
-MARCUS takes her hand of off him.
MONICA
I know, I'm sorry I'll stop but seriously what happened why they threatened you?
-MARCUS moves around
MARCUS
Oh you know the basics, if I don't come up with $150,000 by 2:00 tomorrow I'm dead.
MONICA
Dead? they can't kill you, what are you going to do?
-cracks a smile again
MARCUS
I don't know but all I know is that I need to get to L.A
MONICA
L.A? Oh if you here in his body
-A pause
MONICA
Then he in L.A in your....
MARCUS
Yup. So now you know my dilemma that’s why I need you to help me. I need to get out of this body and into my own and fast
MONICA
Well I don't know how I could help you with that, I'm just as clueless as you are
-MARCUS signs as he clamps down on the edge of the bed and hold his head down.
MARCUS
I'm doomed
MONICA
But I did see this movie once
-MARCUS lifts up his head and looks at her
MARCUS
What movie?, what happened?!
MONICA
I only remember the basics about it, I think it was about a couple who had their bodies switch two days before their wedding. The deal was they had to live as each other for those two days and understand what each of them go through on a daily basis I don't know something like that. It was real funny though, I think Robert and Ebert gave......
MARCUS
Fuck funny! I want to know did they change back
MONICA
Oh yea I think they did but it was something stupid like they had to see a priest or some kind of a marriage counselor who had to give them some type of advice....
-MARCUS reacts as if a light bulb just went off in his head.
MARCUS
Priest! ohh shit that fucking bitch!
MONICA
What? who you calling a bitch?!
MARCUS
Not you some other girl! I think that bitch jinxed me last night! shit how could I be so stupid
MONICA
What other girl?, Rich what are you talking about?
MARCUS
It's a long story, I have no time to explain I got to go
-MARCUS gets up, kisses her on the cheek and starts walking towards the door, he passes MONICA.
MONICA
Wait!
-MARCUS stops and turns around
MARCUS
What?!
MONICA
One last question
MARCUS
What is it?
MONICA
Is the myth true?
MARCUS
What myth?!
MONICA
You know, Black guys and big....
MARCUS
Hey!!!
-A short pause
MARCUS
I don't think this is the right time to discuss something like that nor would I want to
MONICA
Oh come on I know you've seen it
-Smiles
MONICA
How big is it?
-MARCUS stares at her for a short while
MONICA
I always wanted to know that, I guess I'm curious
MARCUS
Your sick you know that?!
MONICA
So is it?
-MARCUS nods his head and attempts to leave. This time MONICA grabs his arm.
MONICA
Wait Rich! wait
MARCUS
Come on Monica I don't have time to feed into one of your little fantasies
MONICA
I just want to know where your going?
MARCUS
L.A! I got to go see about a priest
-MARCUS leaves
MONICA
Priest? oh no! I'm coming
-MONICA grabs her purse and storms out the door.
EXT: AIRPORT-DAY
The camera captures a little bit of the scenery going on in front of the Airport.
INT: TICKET LINE- AIRPORT
MARCUS and MONICA are standing next on line to purchase their tickets.
MONICA
So what the hell is this priest going to do? all he does is talk about god, how is he going to help you
MARCUS
That's just the thing.
-RICH whispers to her
MARCUS
I think God is behind all this
-MONICA looks at him and laughs. An old white couple walks up behind them
MARCUS
Shh! What’s so funny? what? you don't believe me?!
MONICA
Come on Rich your being ridiculous, your blaming god for changing you into a black guy!
-The old couple hears the comment and looks at MARCUS. MARCUS reacts to them staring.
MARCUS
What the hell you looking at?
-The old man takes his wife and walks away out of fear. MONICA calms down from laughing as they leave.
MONICA
(to the couple)
sorry!
COUNTER CLERK

MONICA takes out her wallet
MONICA
Rich leave it alone
MARCUS
No damn that, I wanna know what’s so hard to think that we're a couple
-MARCUS slightly raises his voice
MARCUS
Is it because I'm black?!
-The whole airport stops and looks at him, it's complete silence. MONICA looks at the situation.
MONICA
(To everybody)

-The airport goes back in motion
MONICA

-CLERK starts typing into the computer. MARCUS still staring at her during the pause.
MONICA
Rich it's not that serious, Just relax
MARCUS
No, I've just been assaulted
CLERK
Ok we don’t have any first class seats available but we have...
MARCUS
Why is it because I'm black?! all of a sudden it's sold out!
MONICA

-Upon arriving at the medal detectors, they stay on a very short line as they wait for two white couples to go through. As they go through the camera captures them doing the basics like putting their keys and belongings in the bin and walking through with no problem. The camera also captures The SEQUIRTY GUARD directing the whole process.

-MONICA follows the directions and go through with no problem
SEQUIRTY GUARD
Ok thank you have a nice flight
-Now its MARCUS turn. He goes up without the SEQUIRTY GUARD calling him. Upon reaching the bin to put his belongings the SEQUIRTY GUARD stops in front of him and puts his hand on his chest.
SEQUIRTY GUARD
I'm sorry sir, but new airport procedure, since 911 all passengers must remove a piece of clothing for a thorough search upon entering a plane. that means belts, shoes and pants.
MARCUS
What?! pants?! how new is this procedure?!

SEQUIRTY CHECK
Sorry sir but please remove your shoes and your pants
MARCUS
I don't believe this! You just let these other people pass through with no problem why is it when I come there’s a whole new procedure I must follow.
SEQUIRTY CHECK

-MONICA goes to the guard
MONICA

MARCUS
Hard time?!
MONICA

MARCUS
No! this is racial profiling and I will not tolerate this!
SEQURITY GUARD
Sir I think you'll be happy to know that the employees of these airlines do not judge, discriminate or degrade any passenger aboarding this airlines due to race.
MARCUS
That girl said the same bullshit! what are you people trying to pull here.
SEQUIRTY GUARD
Sir, if you continue to raise your voice and disobeying procedures we will have to take immediate force.
-A whole bunch of security guards show up holding their batons as they stare at him.
MONICA
Just do it Rich!
MARCUS
I can't believe this!
-the camera fades out than back in. This time MARCUS appears to be in nothing but his boxers and socks while holding his crouch. SEQUIRTY GUARD stands near as the others are tightly close together waiting for something to happen.
SEQURITY GUARD
Ok for the 6th time sir, walk right in
-MARCUS goes through and no sound is heard. MONICA who is seen sitting down watch impatiently signs out of relief.

MARCUS

MONICA
Oh look whose talking
MARCUS
What?!
MONICA
Rich your always the first one to say something bad towards black people now look at you your defending them
MARCUS
But I'm not a racist, besides if they go through this kind of stuff everyday then I have a new profound respect for them because nobody has to ever go through the kind of things I just went through that’s for sure.
MONICA
Ah oh! look whose changing, maybe this is god
MARCUS
well not for long, we get to L.A, Get back to my own body and live my life like none of this ever happened.
-MARCUS puts his head back and closes his eyes as he prepares to rest. MONICA is sitting there eating some peanuts as she brings back up a question.
MONICA
So you didn't answer my question
MARCUS
What question? I already told you we have to see a priest name Father Thomas, I ripped his card and throw it out the window
MONICA
No not that, the other question
-MARCUS looks at her confused
MARCUS
What other question?!
MONICA

MARCUS
Fuck you want to know so bad?
MONICA
I just want to know!, gosh it's like I can't even ask a question anymore.
MARCUS
Fine

AIR MARSHALL

-He puts his hands on his gun
MONICA

-She knocks again
GEORGE
Maybe he's not home
MONICA
No he has to be home, the lights are on
-She knocks again. MARCUS reacts to the fact that RICH is staring at him.
MARCUS
Why the hell you keep looking at me?!
RICH
It's my damn body, I can look at it whenever I want. What the fuck are you going to do?!
-MARCUS moves closer as they both attempt to fight again
MONICA
Can you two stop! Gosh it's like you guys are a bunch of babies!
-The front door opens and Father Thomas appears to be putting on his shirt with a confused look on his face.
MONICA
Hi, sorry to bother you but we are looking for a Father Thomas
-FATHER THOMAS is fixing himself
FATHER THOMAS
Yes, I'm Father Thomas may I help you?
MONICA
Good cause we have a problem
-CAMERA focuses on RICH and MARCUS who are arguing
MARCUS
I said stop looking at me!
RICH
And I said No! If I feel like grilling you I'm gonna fucking grill you!
-GEORGE is standing right in between them trying to break it up
GEORGE
Please guys!
-CAMERA focuses back on MONICA and FATHER THOMAS. FATHER THOMAS looks at MONICA. MONICA looks back at him.
MONICA
A big problem!
-FATHER THOMAS looks at both RICH and MARCUS arguing then back at MONICA one at a time.
FADE OUT
FADE IN:
INT: LIVING ROOM
FATHER THOMAS is sitting on his recliner. MONICA and MARCUS are sitting down next to each other on the couch. GEORGE is sitting by himself and a similar recliner across from FATHER THOMAS. RICH is standing behind MARCUS and MONICA. FATHER THOMAS who already heard parts of the situation, sits on the edge trying to recite what he heard.
FATHER THOMAS
Wait, so let me get this straight
-He points to MARCUS
FATHER THOMAS
Your Rich?
MARCUS
Yes
FATHER THOMAS
and your
-He points to RICH
FATHER THOMAS
Marcus?!
RICH
Yea
FATHER THOMAS
And your telling me that somehow last night you two switch bodies?
MONICA
Yes
FATHER THOMAS
and not only did you two switch bodies you believe God is the cause of it? Is that right? Am I saying all this correct?!
GEORGE
hey don't look at me father, I'm just hearing this myself
MONICA
Yes Father so you can see why we need your help
FATHER THOMAS
So what I don't understand is why come to me? If you believe what happen to you is an act of god why don't you pray for forgiveness, he hears everyone!
MARCUS
Because Father, you might of known a friend of mines who you gave some advice too, her name is Margarita.
-FATHER THOMAS thinks and then remembers, He reacts.
FATHER THOMAS
Oh yes! Margarita! yea I remember her! wait? Did you say your name was Rich Banks?!
MONICA
Yes you heard of him Father?
FATHER THOMAS
Well not personally but when Margarita came to me and told me she was fooling around with an almost married man, a name like that is hard to forget!
MONICA
What?! Rich you cheated on me with this women?!
MARCUS
Honey please calm down! It's not what you think?!
MONICA
Don't tell me to calm down, how could you?, 3 months before our wedding! I can't believe this!
FATHER THOMAS
She told me every time you come to town you'd call her to invite her over. She refers to her relationship with you as a booty call
-RICH laughs
MONICA
What?!
MARCUS
What? No! Father me and her are just friends! that’s all! George tell them that we're just friends!
-CAMERA focuses on GEORGE who appears to be looking at the wood floor
GEORGE
Father is that red oak?
-He points to the floor
MONICA
I can't believe you would do something like that?
FATHER THOMAS
That's not all, she....
-RICH interrupts
RICH
Enough! Now Father you can discuss marital sins later but right now I just want to get the fuck out this body and into my own. Now since you have a direct line to God, call him up on the phone and tell him to switch us back!
FATHER THOMAS
It's not that simple, Our god doesn't work that way. If your bodies were switched and God was the cause of it then it was done for a reason.
MARCUS
So what does that mean? I'm stuck in this body?
FATHER THOMAS
No not necessarily, but if there is a reason maybe God wants you to find it out for yourselves
RICH
How the hell am I going to do that? What the hell did I do?
FATHER THOMAS
Easy point out the obvious! If God chose your two bodies to be switched, this must have not been the first time you two met now is it?
MONICA
No it's not father, Before their bodies were switched he
-MONICA points to RICH
MONICA
Tried to rob his house and got caught
FATHER THOMAS
There you go , your reason is simple, God probably wanted you to see that there’s more to life than just stealing. He gave you the body of a Rich man probably for you to see that even with all the money in the world you still can be unhappy.
MARCUS
So what?! I'm just an accomplice? god wanted a rich guy so he chose me?
-MARCUS stands up
MARCUS
Listen next time you talk to him tell him to leave me out off one of his little experiments . I'm a very busy man I don't have time for games
-MARCUS attempts to leave
FATHER THOMAS
And there goes your reason, you probably so rich that you probably think that God can't do nothing for you. God probably put you in his body so you can finally know what’s its like to live the hard way with no hand outs and no advantages. Gods purpose is simple, he wants both of you to come to some sort of understanding of why you lead the life you lead. Once that understanding is established then you switch back, if not enjoy the body you in because take it from me if God wants something done it will be done. He doesn't care how long it takes.
RICH
So how am I supposed to understand how a white, greedy, arrogant, racist son of bitch who probably trade in his mom for a stock tip live his life? that’s not my problem!
MARCUS
And how am I supposed to understand how a low-life thief who probably was born in a hut somewhere in Africa lives his life stealing from people who work for what they got?!
RICH
What you call me?!
MARCUS
Yea I said it a low life!
-MARCUS moves closer to him as they prepare to fight once again
MONICA
Just stop it! both of you just stop it! Rich sit your ass down!
-MARCUS sits down
RICH
Look at you, whipped by your lady you can't be black! give me back my body!
MARCUS
Oh I'd love too, you think I love getting raped by oversize men in showers
RICH
What?!
FATHER THOMAS
well the solution is clear and simple, you two need to get along and get to some kind of understanding between you two if you want God to switch you back. I can't do nothing for you
-GEORGE who appears to be bored with the conversation gets up out his seat
GEORGE
Father? I have a question?
FATHER THOMAS
Sure what is it?
GEORGE
Gods not mad at me for any reason is he? Tomorrow I'm not going to wake up as a pig and have to understand why I can't eat pork am I? Because I was going to stop, you have to believe me
FATHER THOMAS
well If that's your fear than maybe you should have a talk with god yourself and ask for forgiveness? he hears you just as well as he hears me? he plays no favorites.
GEORGE
Right? but can you tell him that for me? I just will feel alot better knowing that you talked to him before I do, you know warm him up alittle
FATHER THOMAS
If that will make you happy fine!
GEORGE
Good
-Appears to have a big smile on his face. He sits down.
FATHER THOMAS
Well if that’s all the questions you have for me I really must be getting back to my evening
-He starts to get up
MONICA
Oh you have company father?
-MONICA, MARCUS and GEORGE gets up too. All of a sudden a little boy who looks to be around the age of 6 comes half way down stairs wearing no shirt and a pair of pants that can be mistaken as boxers
BOBBY
Matthew when can I go home? I don't want to play the dressing game anymore I want to sleep in my own bed!
FATHER THOMAS
Go upstairs Bobby! Now!
-BOBBY runs upstairs. Everybody looks shocked as the looks at the boy then back at FATHER THOMAS. RICH looks at him in a nasty way. FATHER THOMAS looks at everybody and smiles. he walks towards them as they back up at the same time.
FATHER THOMAS
I'm just baby sitting for my sister, but thank you for coming if you have any more questions
-Everybody except FATHER THOMAS are now outside
FATHER THOMAS (C'tnd)
Please call before you make any more surprise visits
-FATHER THOMAS slams the door in their faces.
EXT:FRONT DOOR-NIGHT
Everybody is now looking at each other.
INT: RICH'S LIVING ROOM
MARCUS, RICH, MONICA and GEORGE are all in the living room. MARCUS is walking back and forth panicking. GEORGE is sitting down real calm with his legs crossed on one of the arm chairs. RICH is standing up leaning against a piece a furniture with his arms crossed. MONICA is sitting down alone on the couch.
MONICA
Rich you’re being ridiculous you can't believe that God is going to turn you into a terrorist!
-MARCUS stops and looks at her
MARCUS
And how do you know? If he can turn me into him
-Points to RICH
MARCUS (C'tnd)
then he can turn me into anybody. Watch you'll see, tomorrow I'm gonna wake up somewhere in Afghanistan with a freaking turban in my head and a bomb strap to my fucking chest. It's bad enough now that I'm a thief!
RICH
Hey man fuck you! you think I like being in your fucking body? you ever had a black girl run out on you because your penis was too small. I rather eat garbage out of a fucking dumpster then to have my manhood look like it hasn’t grown an inch since birth!
-MONICA gets frustrated with all the fighting between them and stands up to yell
MONICA
Ahh! can you two just stop! for the last fucking time just stop!
-A pause
MONICA
Now its obvious that you
-She points to RICH
MONICA (C'tnd)
Don't like being him
MONICA (C'tnd)
and you
-She points to MARCUS
MONICA (C'tnd)
Don't like being him, If I was either of you I would be trying my hardest to do everything possible even if it means trying to get along with each other to change back. Gosh it's like watching two babies fight!
RICH
He started it!
MONICA
I don't care! Right now I'm tired, frustrated and all a bit angry. all I want to do is go upstairs and get some damn rest!
MARCUS
Honey if your angry about that girl I already explained..
-MONICA interrupts
MONICA
Stop Rich! just stop! I don't even want to get into that right now because as far as I'm concern right now the wedding is off
MARCUS
Weddings off? Honey we're just friends!
MONICA
Rich you really think that's the reason why the wedding is off? you see, you got your head so far up your ass that you can't even see the big picture.
MARCUS
So what? What’s the big picture?! tell me!
-MONICA hold her head as if she got a headache
MONICA (Softly)
I don't want to get into this
MARCUS
Oh you going to have to now! you brought it up! why the weddings off Monica?
-MARCUS starts walking around as if he's offended
MARCUS
What? is it because I'm black?! huh?! you don't want to marry me because you fear I might be stuck in this body is that it Monica?!
-He has his arms spread out
MONICA
Fine!
-She turns to RICH
MONICA (C'tnd)
No offense to you Marcus
-She looks back at MARCUS
MONICA (C'tnd)
but if its the truth you want then yes. You know my parents will never approve of me marrying you even if it's really Rich Banks in that body
MARCUS
Oh fuck your parents Monica!
-RICH moves forward
RICH
Um, excuse me? but how am I not suppose to take offense to that?
-He puts on a sarcastic kind of smile
RICH (C'tnd)
because for a second there, I tried to not be offended but I'm pretty fucking offended right now!
MONICA
You see Rich, now look what you did you made me look like a racist now!
RICH
Fuck that! What's wrong with marrying a black guy? what we stink or something? We got some type of odor we don't know about? huh Whats up?
-He spreads his arm to as he gets offended
MARCUS
Yea! Yea Monica what’s up with that? What’s wrong with marrying me if I'm black?! what you trying to say?!
MONICA (Calm)
I'm not going to answer that!
RICH (C'tnd)
Cause I'll fight a bitch word up!
-MONICA hold her head
MONICA
Ah! I don't have time for this right now, Rich just go and hang out with him, bond, talk do whatever you guys do with each other
MARCUS
You didn't answer my question Monica?
MONICA
I'm going upstairs!
-She walks towards the steps
MARCUS
Monica? I'm talking to you women!
MONICA
Good night Rich!
-She speaks with her back turn going up the stairs. The door bell rings and GEORGE acts as if it is for him. He uncrosses his legs and fixes himself as he stands up.
GEORGE
Well, this has been an interesting night!
-He makes his way towards the door.
MARCUS
And where you think you going George?!
GEORGE
Oh me? I got a date
-MARCUS and RICH respond at the same time.
MARCUS

RICH

-GEORGE opens the door and we see GIRL #2 on the other end.
GIRL #2
Hey! you ready to go?!
RICH
Oh no you didn't
-GEORGE gives her a kiss
GEORGE
Yea just a minute
GIRL #2
Ok I'll be waiting in the car
-GEORGE nods at her and she exits. He looks back at both of them
GEORGE
Um you two have a very good night! me? I'm gonna get my freak on!
-He smiles as he says it and closes the door. MARCUS and RICH looks stunned. RICH snaps out of it.
RICH
ok before I go crazy, I need something very strong where you keep the vodka?
-MARCUS goes to sit down in the couch
MARCUS
If your little party didn't finish it, there should be some right over there
-As MARCUS sits down, RICH makes his way not too far from the living room where he opens the cabinet, grabs the bottle along with two glasses. He walks over to where MARCUS is sitting a puts the glasses down.
MARCUS
God, I feel like I'm losing my mind!
-RICH sits down and pours himself a drink first
RICH
I know how you feel
-RICH pours MARCUS some
MARCUS
Thanks
RICH
You know I thought life would be alot easier being white and rich now come to think of it life isn't that much different. To tell you the truth no offense but being white is whack!

The camera captures MIKIE walking down the cell block with towels and sheets in his hands. GUARD #1 is behind him. The pass CHOCALATE’s cell.

GUARD #1
Get in there!
-Yells to the guard again
GUARD #1
OK close it up!
-MIKIE stands there with an odd look on his face as he tries to cope with the scenery he sees. MADINGO turns around completely and the camera captures only the top half of his body. MADINGO who at first has a mean look on his face looks at MIKIE and then grins alittle. MIKIE looks at MADINGO very odd and his attention slightly changes toward his crouch. He looks at it very odd and strange as if MADINGO was having an erection at the moment. The camera focuses back on MADINGO. MADINGO captures him looking at his crouch and he looks down too. As MADINGO looks back up we see a smile appear on his face. The camera focuses back on MIKIE who know has a weird look on his face as he tilts it sideways. MIKIE looks at MADINGO and a pause follows. Seconds later he drops everything and runs to the cell bars but before he touches it the CAMERA freezes at that picture.
CREDITS roll in with the full length song of Tupac's "Changes"
