SCENE 1: THE TEA PARTY OF TRAUMA (with Wine & R&B)

INT. ANTOINETTE’S LIVING ROOM – NIGHT

Antoinette is sitting with a wine glass the size of a fish bowl, emotional. Carl Thomas is randomly seated across from her in a silk robe, softly singing…

CARL THOMAS (singing live)
♪ “I’m emotional… and I can’t let go…” ♪

ANTOINETTE (to camera)
“Y’all, I tried to warn my so-called best friend… I told her: That man is a scammer with a SoundCloud and a baby mama in every borough. But did she listen? NO!”

CARL THOMAS (still singing)
♪ “I tried to hold on… but it hurt me so…” ♪

FLASHBACK SCENE: THE DICK THAT DIVIDED THE FRIENDSHIP

INT. CLUB BACKROOM – THROWBACK VIBES

We see Antoinette grabbing her friend’s arm dramatically.

ANTOINETTE
“Girl, I got the receipts. He stole KRS-One’s debit card and told MC Lyte he was a Virgo.”

BEST FRIEND (drunk and delusional)
“Yeah but… his dick got a curve like Destiny’s Child. I’m goin’ with him.”

ANTOINETTE
“NOT DESTINY’S CHILD!! You’re gonna risk it all for Curve Knowles!?”

SCENE 2: THE 911 CALL OF SHAME

INT. POLICE PHONE RECORDING SKIT DRAMATIZATION

Operator picks up. We hear her friend whispering…

FRIEND (on phone, lying)
“Yes, hello? I wanna report a… vibe killer. She’s hating on my love story.”

ANTOINETTE (pops up next to her)
“OH! You called the cops cause I told you the truth?! I didn’t even bring sage!”

COP (confused)
“You got a beef with a beat producer named DJ Child Support?”

SCENE 3: HOT 97 DRAMA – FOXY AIN’T WANT THE SMOKE

INT. RADIO STATION – STAR & BUCKWILD THROWBACK

Antoinette steps into the studio with a mic and a mean freestyle face.

STAR (excited)
“We got Antoinette in the building! She ready to battle FOXY BROWN!”

Foxy walks in late, removes her sunglasses dramatically, and says:

FOXY BROWN (bored)
“Girl, go buy my album.”

ANTOINETTE (petty)
“I would… but it’s giving Dollar Tree clearance bin.”

BUCKWILD (laughing)
“She said it’s ‘Buy 1, Skip 5!’”

Everyone falls out laughing. Foxy storms out.

SCENE 4: BACK TO THE LIVING ROOM – WINE GLASS OF WISDOM

INT. ANTOINETTE’S LIVING ROOM

Carl Thomas is still softly singing in the background.

ANTOINETTE (to camera)
“They betrayed me over . They called 12 on me over a scammer who lives in his momma’s attic. And Foxy ducked the smoke. But guess what?”

She slowly puts on sunglasses and a tiara.

ANTOINETTE
“I’m still here. Still creating. Still glowing. Still funny. Still healing. Still THAT GIRL.”

CARL THOMAS (hits the high note)
♪ “I’m emooootional!” ♪
