SCENE 10: LOVE JONES CONFESSION – LARENZ POURS HIS SOUL OUT

[Larenz walks into the skit in full ’90s smooth mode, candlelit background, wine glass in hand, poetic energy on 100.]

LARENZ (soft voice, deep stare)
“Antoinette… I had the Love Jones since ‘97.
You were the poem. The plot. The whole damn soundtrack.”

ANTOINETTE (blushing but side-eyeing)
“And yet you showed up in Act 10? You late like a BET Awards performance.”

LARENZ
“I was waiting for the ancestors to clear my schedule!”

SCENE 11: SPIRITUAL REALM CHECK-IN — CLARENCE WILLIAMS III ENTERS

[Thunder claps. Smoke rises. Clarence Williams III appears in a velvet robe and locs glowing. He floats in with a staff made of incense and receipts.]

CLARENCE (dramatic, ghost voice)
“Grandbaby… they stole your show, but WE BEEN SAW IT COMING. I told Rosa Parks and Prince last week — we already put in a petition with God!”

[Cut to a roundtable in heaven: Tupac, Maya Angelou, Cicely Tyson, and Auntie Aretha sipping tea.]

TUPAC (to the table)
“She did say she invented reality TV.”

MAYA
“And still, she rises.”

ARETHA (snaps)
“R-E-S-P-E-C-T my niece’s ideas!”

SCENE 12: ANCESTORS GOT HER BACK — KARMA AIN’T SLOW, SHE FASHIONABLY LATE

[Cut to Antoinette surrounded by ancestors in white with sunglasses and clipboards like heavenly managers.]

CLARENCE
“We brought Flavor Flav and Carl Thomas into your story for dramatic purposes. But it’s your pen. You hold the rights to your rise.”

CARL THOMAS (still singing)
♪ “I’m emotional…” ♪

ANTOINETTE (laughs)
“And you still singing that one song?! Sir, please get this man a new album.”

SCENE 13: THE FINAL WORD — FROM THE QUEEN HERSELF

[Antoinette looks straight into the camera, surrounded by love, glitter, and gospel organ.]

ANTOINETTE
“You can steal my show. You can jack my songs. You can even cry in the healing circle.
But what you won’t do… is rewrite the legacy of a chosen one.
My pen’s divine. My tribe’s eternal. My clapbacks? Anointed.”
