This is my first boondocks script. I'd appreciate feedback of what you guys think!
Chapter 1: Wrong Side of the Bed
The sun shines through Huey's bedroom window illuminating his face. He opens his eyes slowly.
Standing in front of the bathroom mirror he glares at his weary refection.
Huey: (narrative) "You can usually tell at the start of the day if it's gonna be shit or not. And today I had one of those feelings it was gonna be one of those days, of the bullshit variety."
He begins to brush his teeth when there's suddenly pounding on the door.
WHAM! WHAM!
Riley: "Huey, what are you constipated? The fuck is talking you so long. Nigga, drink your prune juice then come back and try again!"
Huey: (narrative) "My shitty day sensors were tingling."
Riley: "Oh. I get what you're doing in there. Rub one out on your own time. Ha ha ha! Hey Granddad, guess what Hueys doing in your bathroom!"
Later Huey is downstairs. He reaches into the cabinet and grabs a soda. He heads over to the living room and takes a seat on the couch next to Riley.
Larry King: (TV) "We are live on Larry King with special guest Lady Gaga promoting her new album. Now tell me Gaga, with your credible past precedents as a gogo dancer, movie extra, and now a pop icon, what's you're educated thoughts on religion and faith in this country."
Lady Gaga: (TV): "Well, Larry. I think religion is wrong. It starts wars and teaches discrimination towards women. In my personal opinion, everyone should just embrace Jesus, ya know? Jesus isn't even religion. Fuck religion, and yeah Jesus!"
Larry King: (TV) "Well it looks like we got our first caller. What's your name caller?"
Huey is holding a phone up to his ear on the couch.
Huey: (TV) "Huey Freeman."
Larry King: (TV) "Alright Huey. What is your question for Lady Gaga?"
Huey: (TV) "A belief in Jesus is religion, you dumb cunt."
Larry King: (TV) Okay. Not really a question, but care to elaborate Huey?"
Huey: (TV) "If Jesus acted in any way as the bible described him, he was constantly preaching among thousands of people. And he wasn't just preaching a philosophy he was preaching that he himself was divine. He was telling people that he was the son of God, and that God performed miracles through him. Why do you think he had an entourage of people following him around who gave up all their possessions to obey his edicts? As soon as you tell people you have the voice of a divine higher power and that people should follow what you say, well then you just birthed a religion."
Larry King: (TV) "Well. He's got you there, bitch."
Riley grabs the phone from Huey.
Riley: (TV) "And I, Huey Freeman, would also like to take this opportunity to announces to the world that I'm gay."
Huey wrestles Riley for the phone but Riley hangs up before he could get it from him.
Larry King: (TV) "Well. Congratulations to Huey Freeman for coming out of the closest. Huey Freeman, ladies and gentlemen,just announced to the world that he rather enjoys to blow boat people. And for the people in the audience who might not know what that terminology means, it's when someone, like Huey Freeman, gets a boner really hard and puts it in there wet….."
Riley: "Oh, shit. Its 9:30. Change it to BET, I wanna see if Young Jeezy is still on the 106 count down."
Huey ignores him and takes a swig of his soda.
Riley: "Hey. Change this shit to BET."
No response from Huey.
Riley: "Ugh. Okay. I'm sorry I made the world think you're gay now on Larry King. Now Change the channel, please?"
Huey takes another sip of his soda.
Riley: (blustering) "I don't wanna hear this butterface talk to me bout' Jesus, now Huey change the channel!"
Huey continues to be unresponsive to the demand.
Riley: "Look. I don't wanna ask twice."
Huey: "Really? Because you just asked me four different ways."
Riley starts wrestling Huey for the remote. Robert enters the living room.
Robert: "Stop foolin' around and come outside boys. Your old granddads got something special for you two outside!"
Riley: "This ain't over."
Riley starts smelling Huey.
Riley: "I can smell the bitch on you."
Huey pushes Riley off him.
Huey: "Get away from me. It's weird to just start smelling someone, right?"
Robert leads his grandsons outside to the drive way where there's a red bicycle equipped with streamers, a white basket at the handle bars, and topped off with a bike bell.
Robert: "That's right. I got you two a brand spanking new bike!"
Huey: "Just one?"
Robert: "I figured I'd do something special for both my grand kids after I collected my tax rebate."
Riley: "Oh, hell yeah!"
Huey looks at Riley—"What the hell?"
Riley starts inspecting the bike up close.
Riley: "Damn, Granddad you the best, for real!"
Robert: "Now, Huey. Make sure nothing goes wrong when I'm at my poker game this afternoon. Because I ain't gonna be coming back early for nothing. NOTHING. You hear me? Not if Riley broke both his legs and needed a ride to the hospital. Got it?"
Huey: "Whatever."
Robert gets into his car and drives off.
Huey: "That was awfully nice of you to act so enthusiastic about granddad's gift, Riley."
Riley: "What act? Man, you gotta check this out. It's fitted with a bell, it got streamers n'shit. Pimp status, nigga. PIMP STATUS!"
Later Huey is lying down on his bed reading. He puts the book aside and starts staring at the ceiling.
Huey: (narrative) "Maybe if I just stay out of everyone's way, I won't get caught up in Saturday's bullshit."
Riley sticks his head in the room.
Riley: "Hey, Huey. Yo girls coming to see me. Ha ha ha!"
Huey: "Who's my girl?"
Riley: "Don't play me, son. I know you and Jasmine be all touching up on each other."
Huey: "Sure, whatever. Why is Jasmine coming to see you?"
Riley walks into the room.
Riley: "Uh. She wants to talk to you about some stuff. I don't know."
Huey: "So it still sounds like she's coming over to see me, right?"
Riley: "Yeah, but I'm the one she talked to on the phone saying she wants to come over, and I be like aight, whatever."
Huey: "That's just semantics."
Riley: "Pffft. What are you a gay scientist?"
Huey: "What?"
Riley: "You and your gay science words. Hey Shakesqueer why don't you go do brain surgery, Mr. Scientist. He he!"
Huey: "Oh, wow. Let's see, wrong profession, wrong objective, and wrong pronunciation of Shakespeare's name, intentional?"
Riley: "Yeah. It's ShakesQUEER because you's a gay scientist! OOOH! What's up now?"
Huey: "OOOH. Don't be proud. Shakespeare wasn't a scientist."
Riley: "Whatever, everybody still thinks you gay now, so who cares?"
Huey gets out of bed and heads out while Riley eyes him the whole way. Once Huey leaves Riley goes over and grabs the book Huey was reading off his bed.
"Richard Dawkins: The God Delusion."
Riley: "I knew it. Huey worships the devil."
