SAY MY NAME (HEY Ad'Ryan)

ACT ONE

WILLIE (walks toward AD'RYAN with a convincing smile as talking to August)  Good morning, brother!

AD'RYAN: (reading the email from the principal from his brother's school) Willie, what the hell is this bullshit that I'm reading, man! Why in the hell that you're keeping doing this, man?

WILLIE: what do you mean, big bro?

AUGUST: Let me pull a chair so I could hear this cap shit that you about to say out of your mouth, bob!

AUGUST pulls a chairs from the back area and sits next to AD'Ryan. 

AD'RYAN: You know what the fuck I'm talmbout, keeping on getting suspended for the 4th time this week, like over what exactly? Tell me exact on what the fuck happened this time and don't be cappin' with your bullshit this! 

WILLIE: Well..... the situation was that I was in the hallway with a shorty, you know, rappin or whatnot, then this mark nigga came up to my shit and snubbed on my sneakers and pushed me behind my back so ........

AD'RYAN: Basically, you fought this lil' boy over a snuffed on your sneakers, what the fuck!!! Oh, my god! Damn, man! You're so fucking whack sometimes, moe!

AUGUST: I wouldn't say whack but I jhi think that you jhi make some of the dumbest decisions on the planet because I feel like they are alot of pro and cons that are worth of an ass-whooping or not worth of your breath, I bet that your ass didn't take any heat or any notice on what happened to that innocent man who was killed for no fucking reason from the other night at the metro station, Columbia Heights for no fucking reason by these bitch ass police and the family have to grieve his un-timing death while going thru the paramedic that's happening right now. Why fight someone over a sneaker snubbed where it's more important things to fight for: OUR FUCKING LIVES WHERE WHITE POLICE OFFICERS DOESN'T GIVE AF ABOUT!

WILLIE starts to tear up and his phone phone rings. He starts to get up from his chair to get his phone and answers it. 

WILLIE: (on the phone) Hey baby-girl, what's up? 

MELANIE: (on the phone) I'm jhi on the airport, waiting for one of my relatives to pick me up so they could take me home so I could upload and relax, but also get to see you, baby-boy

WILLIE: (on the phone) Which is that I'm glad to hear, baby-girl! Make sure that you call or text that you made it back home, okay!

MELANIE: (on the phone): Aight, baby-boy!

WILLIE hangs up the phone. 

AUGUST: (CON'D) Like Malcolm X said: "Segregation Is That Which Is Forced Upon An Inferior By A Superior. Separation Is Done Voluntarily By Two Equals"

WILLIE: Meaning that if we would walk up to a store, they would have the perceptions of us black men as thugs and killers that we're against the grain of being a young civilian and living as a successful black men but will have our trials and tribulations long the way?'

AD'RYAN: Definitely!

WILLIE sits in front for AD'Ryan and AUGUST

AUGUST: (CONT'D) I think that you jhi need to be cautious of your surroundings and actions nowadays because you may never know what the future holds.  Both me and A give a fuck about you, man! We jhi don't want nothing to happen to you, Bob! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS!

WILLIE: YES!

AD'RYAN: Come chill with your big bro to get ready for work since your peanut head got suspended for sum cap shit boy.

WILLIE AND AD'RYAN EXITS  

BREAKDOWN ENDING FOR ACT 1: Hey Ad'Ryan BreakDown

ACT TWO

AUGUST: (narrating as walking towards the stages as get up from the chair) My life as a young black man, especially in the world that we live in, will always be questionable and be unmatched by society and these bitch ass cops that's killing our brothers for fun without caution or even the proper acknowledgements to read the rights of being cuffed before lynched or even murdered by these reckless asshole cops without accepting the consequences of being arrested. I fear for both of my brothers everyday that they walk out of the house knowing that something's going to happen in this fuck up world called life! SOMEONE PLEASE SAY MY NAME & HELP ME IN THE FUCK UP WORLD CALLED LIFE & STOP KILLING US! PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! WE'RE CRYING OUT HERE!!!!!!!!

(Gun shots fired from across the way from their apartment and both AD'RYAN and WILLIE runs downstairs as fast they can to see what was going on and they saw.............)

WILLIE: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHY MELANIE! WHY HER! SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!

AD'RYAN: DAMNIT! I'm so sorry, bro! 

AD'RYAN:(narrating) SAY HER NAME!

AUGUST: (narrating) SAY HER NAME!

WILLIE: (narrating) WHY HER! MELANIE MARIA  GARCIA! SAY HER NAME! THEM BITCH ASS COPS GONNA PAY FOR WHAT THEY DID TO HER! SAY MY BABY NAME! #JUSTICEFORMELANIE

AUGUST: (narrating) Another day, another young life was lost by a bitch ass cop who thought that she had reached for a gun in her pocket but didn't even make it to call her parents to let know that she made it back home from visiting her grandparents and doesn't have a chance to even go to prom or even fucking graduate or go to fucking college! MELANIE MARIA GARCIA! 

AUGUST comes upstairs to go outside.
