EXT: VICTIM'S MANSION- SUBURBS- NEW YORK- NIGHT- 3 A.M

In the opening scene, a camera shot of the Mansion is taken. The house is huge and its well lit with lights around the house. The windows of the house show and indicate all the lights inside are turned off meaning the people inside are sleeping. A black car pulls up by the gate.

INT: CAR - FRONT OF MANSION

Marcus and Craig are inside the car discussing their plan for breaking in. Marcus is the driver and Craig whose his best friend is in the passenger seat. They both have ski hats on and wearing all black attire. They both look at the house and MARCUS begins speaking.

CRAIG

(27 years old)

-Speaking paranoid

MARCUS

Well we'll see once we in there now won't we?

CRAIG

Marcus I can't go to jail man! Look how skinny my ass is. Do you have any idea what niggas would do to me if I go to jail? They’ll probably pass me around like I was food or something. I ain't trying to bend over for a dude with a hard on!

MARCUS

Aight fine, you wanna go back to the hood flipping burgers and shit go ahead I'm not going to stop you. Don't feel bad for these people.

MARCUS and CRAIG creep to the back yard and approach the back door carrying black bags. Marcus bends at one knee and takes a tool out of the bag which picks locks and performs the procedure. Craig, at the same time is standing upward watching MARCUS then his focus changes to the dog house he spots on the corner of his eye. The dog house has the words TINY imprinted on the top. As CRAIG stares at the dog house, MARCUS gets the door open and gets up.

MARCUS

INT: KITCHEN DOORWAY- HOUSE

-As they about to leave they hear some footsteps sounding like it's coming to the kitchen. Marcus and Craig here it and stop as they look towards the noise unintentially. After a few seconds a big rotweiler appears staring at them growling. MARCUS and CRAIG look at each other and then the dog again

MARCUS

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

INT: MIKIE'S OFFICE- DAY

MIKIE CARTER is a respected black male who buys and sells stolen merchandise. MARCUS and CRAIG works for MIKIE and are now discussing the pay out price for the stuff that they stoled. In the office, the stolen merchandise is scattered all over the desk. MIKIE is at the head of the desk sitting down calculating figures into his calculator. He's wearing a nice shirt with a nice tie. A SEQURITY GUARD in a suit is standing near him while MARCUS and CRAIG who is wearing the same outfits are sitting down waiting till he finishes.

A CAMERA shot is taken of the beautiful home of RICH BANKS. All the lights in the house is completely turned off.

RICH

Yea Who's your daddy ?. Oh daddy coming!

RICH

-Makes a scream as he releases

Ahhh!

-Rich slaps his hands and the lights come on. He rolls over right next to her and grabs the stop clock from his nightstand as he presses the stop button. Monica leans forward with one of her legs on his thigh and one of her hands on his chest.

RICH

Shit. almost a minute

MONICA

well that’s good honey

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

MONICA

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

ok Fine I'm sorry I take that back

-RICH opens the door a little

RICH

Personal?! you just nick named my penis Napolean how else I'm suppose to take it?!

(Laughs)

I was just playing with you. Besides what’s wrong with Napolean he was short but powerful I don't see the offense to that

-RICH opens the door again

RICH

No! don't try to change it now you nicknamed it Napoleon because he was short not because he was powerful

RICH

You see this is the kind of thing the doctor said is affecting me.

RICH

The whispering's cute too, very creative

MONICA

(Whispering)

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

-BUBBA and MADINGO looks at each other and gives each other a smile. They walk back to their original positions and continued what they were doing before MARCUS arrived. 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?!

-WHITE BOY looks away fast as he continues to look scared.

BUBBA

Hey! don't talk to him like that! If you got something to say to him ask me first

MARCUS

-BUBBA closes his book and stands up

BUBBA

MARCUS

-A GUARD walks by

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?

EXT: RICH'S BEL - AIR ESTATE- CALIFORNIA- NIGHT

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

KAREN

Come on baby, you know I'm just playing with you. I like 'em really I do

-holds him almost hugging

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

RICH

EXT: SKY- NIGHT

A camera shot is taken of the sky. Everything from the clouds to the color of the sky looks regular and calm. A digital caption that reveals 11:59 is shown on the screen. 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. After a few seconds the light goes into his body and comes out relatively fast. Now there’s a red ball that arises. They go around each other twice and they leave with the white light leading.

EXT: JAIL HOUSE- NIGHT

The two light balls are now reaching the jailhouse.

INT: JAIL HOUSE

Once they enter they make their way to MARCUS's cell. On the way there, the camera catches GUARD #1 sitting down watching porn masturbating. As the two balls pass the guard the guard reacts and stops to turn around and look as if somebody were behind him.

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. Soon after the white light emerges with a different color light (green). They go around each other twice and they exit with the white light leading.

INT: JAIL HOUSE

The two light pass the GUARD again as he is still being seen masturbating.

INT: RICH'S BEDROOM

The two lights arrive at the room and hovers over the body. The white light leads as the green light follows into RICH'S body. The white light then becomes the only light to emerge.

EXT: SKY- NIGHT

The white light then travels up the sky with a sound of lightning being heard. The white light disappears shortly after causing everything to stop.

EXT: SKY - DAY

A beautiful shot is taken of the sky in beautiful weather and color.

EXT: RICH'S HOUSE- DAY

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

Ahhh!

-RICH screams. RICH then looks at his hands.

RICH

What the hell happen to my hand.

-hears his voice

RICH

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

-RICH starts feeling his face then walks over to a nearby mirror and sees his reflection. RICH screams again.

RICH

Ahh!

-RICH moves back hitting the wall back first.

RICH

No! No! No! can't be! what the hell happen to my face!

-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.

RICH

MARGARITA (C'tnd)

Maybe I should leave

RICH

You ain't going a damn place till you tell me what the hells going on with me!

-MARGARITA starts to move a little faster where she picks up her clothes of the floor while talking to RICH at the same time

MARGARITA

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

-RICH moves another step. MARGARITA reaches into her purse

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

-RICH moves closer. MARGARITA takes out the mase and points it

MARGARITA

I said don't move!

RICH

-MARGARITA reaches the door and opens it holding all her clothes on one arm and the mase on the other.

MARGARITA

You belong in the nut house ok, So do me a favor and don't come near me, don't call me or I will have you arrested

-MARGARITA goes on the other end of the door

-RICH stands in the middle of the street looking down the road as the car disappears. With the same boxers on and a tight shirt on, A nearby neighbor who is picking up his daily paper looks in and speaks to him.

MAID

Good morning Mr. Banks! I brought you some breakfast! I didn't know if you want me to prepare some for your lady friend so I prepared another plate anyway.

-The maid looks to where MARGARITA was sleeping

INT: JAIL CELL #14- JAIL HOUSE DAY

A close-up camera shot is focused on Marcus's face as he sleeps. After a couple of seconds, a bucket of water splashes on his face as he wakes up instantly confused.

MARCUS

MARCUS

Excuse me! who the hell are you and what are you doing in my house

-On the bed where BUBBA sleeps, BUBBA is sitting on the edge with WHITE BOY on the floor between his legs. BUBBA appears to be playing with his hair. BUBBA hears MARCUS’S comment.

MADINGO

What?!

-MARCUS slightly looks over at MADINGO who appears to have a mean look on his face. MARCUS refocuses his attention to BUBBA.

-BUBBA looks over at MADINGO and makes a comment

MARCUS

-GUARD #1 laughs

GUARD #1

L.A?

-GUARD laughs again

GUARD #1

Oh come on, you got to do better than that! it's bad enough to pretend you some rich white millionaire who probably doesn't even know you exist then to come up with something as stupid as switching bodies and expect me to believe you. come on, you have to do better than that!

INT- JAILHOUSE SHOWERS

In the shower area, the camera views all the inmates totally nude bathing. Marcus appears to be the last one to come. He is accompanied by GUARD #1 who is right behind him as he walks along the shower aisle passing a majority of the inmates.

INT: MARCUS'S SHOWER POST

-The GUARD exits and the rest of the INMATES mind their business. MARCUS goes to his shower post and turns on the water. MARCUS uses his hands to test the water for warmth. 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. He decides to pick it up so he bends the upper portion of his body to reach for the soap and the camera focuses on GUARD #1 who shows up on the scene. He's holding his baton.

GUARD #1

Hey!! get away from him.

-The camera focuses back on MARCUS. MARCUS stands upright and sees almost all the inmates away from their post and close to him almost surrounding him.

GUARD #3

O.K!

-The gate closes and GUARD #3 disappears. MARCUS is now on the empty street looking for who bailed him out. MARCUS talks to himself while holding a brown paper bag.

MARCUS

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

-A black van pulls up really fast. MARCUS is aware and tries to walk nonchalant away from the van. Two black males exit the van aggressively and walks fast towards his direction.

BLACK MALE #1

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

him?!

-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

INT:TICKET COUNTER

MONICA and MARCUS walk up at the same time. MARCUS talks to MONICA on the way

MARCUS

-They reach the counter. MONICA starts fiddling with her purse.

CLERK

MONICA

CLERK

-CLERK looks at both of them. A pause

CLERK

MONICA

-she looks back into her purse. The CLERK looks shocked.

MARCUS

Yea a couple, what’s so freaking hard in believing we're a couple?!

CLERK

Nothing sir, I'm sorry

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)

It's ok, he's just joking

-The airport goes back in motion

MONICA

Lower your voice Rich, your causing a scene.

-MARCUS stares at the clerk

CLERK

CLERK

-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

Rich please! go on ma'am what were you saying

-The clerk looks only at MONICA

CLERK

I'm sorry ma'am but since its so short notice seats are rather limited but we do have two coach seats available in the middle row

MARCUS

MARCUS

For the first time in my life I felt what black people go through because of their color I mean did you see her she deliberately insulted me watch when I get out this body she's going to be cleaning toilets with her toothbrush for the rest of her life

-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.

SEQUIRTY GUARD

Right this way folks.

-the second couple pass with no problem

SEQURITY GUARD

-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?!

-The SEQUIRTY GUARD's walkie-talkie goes off

WALKIE TALKIE

Attention all security check personals you must thoroughly search every passenger aboarding any flight leaving these airlines. I repeat thoroughly search every passenger

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

Like I said sir, I don't make the rules

-MONICA goes to the guard

MONICA

Sir we kind of in a hurry can't you just bend the rules just this once

SEQUIRTY CHECK

MARCUS

Hard time?!

MONICA

Rich please just do what he says

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.

SEQURITY GUARD

Ok you good to go sir

-all the rest of the SEQUIRTY GUARDS leave.

MONICA

I can't believe they let you go through all that!

MARCUS

Its crazy how people can still be racist after all these years, they should be a law against situations like that

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

You know

-She looks at his crouch. MARCUS follows her eyes and becomes aware about what she's talking about. A quick camera shot is taken of his crouch area

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

-starts raising his voice

MARCUS

Yes! black people have very large penises! are you happy now? Is that what you want to hear?!

MONICA (Whispering)

Rich calm down

-AIR MARSHALL arrives

AIR MARSHALL

AIR MARSHALL

MARCUS

MONICA

MARCUS

AIR MARSHALL

-He puts his hands on his gun

MONICA

No that won't be necessary sir, I promise this won't happen again

AIR MARSHALL

EXT: FATHER THOMAS'S HOUSE- NIGHT

A shot is taken of the beautiful house. It's not as big as RICH's but it's still beautiful.

EXT: FRONT DOOR- NIGHT

MARCUS, RICH, MONICA and GEORGE are all at the front door. MONICA knocks on the door real hard. RICH is staring at MARCUS

MONICA

-She knocks again

MONICA

Father Thomas? open up it's an emergency!

-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

With who?!

-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!

MARCUS

Oh none taken for the first time in my life I feel like I might loose everything, I just wish things went back the way they were before we met because I don't how much more of this I can take

INT: RICH'S BEDROOM

We see the light arriving at the house and making its way towards the window

INT: LIVING ROOM

After a couple of seconds the light comes back out with a lighter red color. they go around each other and exit.

INT: LIVING ROOM

The two lights enter the living room and hover over the body of RICH. After a few seconds the white light goes into the body leading the red light. The white light comes out then exits

EXT: RICH'S HOUSE- DAY

The camera captures a beautiful shot of the house.

INT: RICH'S BEDROOM

The camera captures a close-up of MARCUS's face. Seconds later we see MONICA's hand moving down his chest.

MONICA (Whispers)

-MARCUS moves around alittle as he begins to feel the hand down his chest

MARCUS

Hmm, 5 more minutes

-MONICA taps him this time

MONICA

INT: MIKIE'S OFFICE- DAY

CRAIG is still tied up to a chair. The SEQUIRTY GUARD appears to be right behind him along with MALE #1 and #2 sitting down in a chair. MIKIE is by his desk looking at the time. The time shows that its about 1:59 p.m

MIKIE

Yo your boy screwed me over again!

POLICE #1

Don't move! everybody put their motherfucking hands up

-POLICE officers begin to handcuff everybody while one of the OFFICERS go towards CRAIG to untie him. The OFFICER takes off the cloth that is tied around his mouth

INT: JAILHOUSE

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.

INT-CELL #14

The camera captures MADINGO backside. He appears to be naked washing himself with a cloth. BUBBA pulls back the covers and we see the WHITE BOY right next to him. MADINGO turns around slow as MIKIE comes in.

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"
