Blame It On the Night
Bose man the Great
Meanwhile downtown Apes where Eric and his mother resides...
Lona
(angrily) Heyyy you lazybones how could you even possibly be asleep this minute and yet you were supposed to be awake 3 hours ago for your interview at st. Patric's Mission hospital. Do you think the bill is gonna pay itself? After all my life savings are on the edge and I wonder if bankruptcy is in due time or what? If you can't man up son who will? Just spare my dignity please Eric I'm trying here can't you see how hard it is... (sobbing quietly)
Lona
(interrupted) what... What Eric have the decency to fight your own battles do you think that crap of what you call lawful earnings is gonna buy even a pair of heels at my wake? The little you got cannot suffice even your own needs let alone mine. You let me put a good word at director Hanks, and now you want to tarnish my name just like that?... Oh, no this time I'm not giving in to any more of your silly excuses and if you really do mind your chin you're going to wake the hell up and rush to St. Patric's and you gonna apologize to Mr. Hanks all less in 5 secs before I begin my countdown you lazy warthog...
Eric swiftly does what his mom orders and in less than 4 secs he is outside missing one shoe and his t shirt worn inside out with ruins all over his face as the smell of fear protrudes...
Erik
(a monologue) (angrily) now what! One minute I'm asleep and the next I'm in total ruins beneath the scorching sun, what I'm I going to do what's this now, if my own Latina maa can't even trust my sense of belonging who will? i know Hanks is doing all this just to gain my mom's approval ever since my pappita died he's been on the waitlist waiting to finally approach my mom. How I'm I even suppose to commit to such a person and all my life's work is at the repair shop (nodding)... (stares the sky) Oh universe just spare my agony you will just kill me before my end game...
A few blocks away to St. Patric's is his late old's man car repair shop. He quickly makes a halt and engages in the company of few of his mates among them is Bose, his childhood friend ever since...
Bose

Erik
Oh, brother you can't even imagine my own maa set me up to this cook Mr Hanks who runs st patric's, and she's insisting that im to report the the latest now, and here i am clueless on what next... She even threatened to slice my ass up if i were to oppose her man. How I'm i even suppose to get there when I'm un prepared this way look at my attire brother (looks all way down) I'm i heading to a minefield or an interview man...
Bose

Erik

Eric sits on the bonnet of an old rusty car with palms at his chin waiting for Bose...
12 mins later Bose bounces in looking satisfied with his hunting instincts...
Bose
Damn man i got you one of the most refined outfits on the stock market trending I'm tellin yah it's hot man prepare to get burned (pats Eric's curled hair)
He takes them out in a polythene plastic bag and Eric is mesmerized by the results...
Erik
Good lord! Bose where the heck did you find these... I've been here waiting anxiously and all i get is this... Come on man this garments were worn by our fore fathers the likes of sir Isaac Newton and the Wright brothers... Do i look too old to you for such kind of embarrassment and yet here you were boasting about the past hour and still couldn't deliver, how I wished I could have just gone on my own the way I was man...
Bose
Seems someone lacks the sense of fashion… Just put 'em already after the interview ill take all the blame man but for now you need to hurry for your interview broo... Just have at it and I promise all shall be well... Your future is at your toenails brother (looks up at the scraper of st. Patric and starts shouting) Heyyy yoow ma hommie is about to knock at your doorstep and you gonna open 'em up make ma niggah proud yoow or else imma come there myself and kick some ass up... You know me and that's why they call me Bose man the Great!
Erik nods and finds himself inside the bathroom changing his world war garments and soon gets out agitated by his appearance...
Bose

Erik

Erik dashes off fast and disappears into the thin air...
