FADE IN:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXT. New York Street \u2013 DAY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two young fellers, COMANCHE and OBI make a beeline down a New York Street. Both are wiseass street hustlers, COMANCHE is half Native American, half Mexican, OBI is half black, half Italian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember Syd Muir, tiny guy, bald, no neck?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

COMANCHE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, I remember, always been a prick to me. What\u2019s up with him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just got out of a lousy relationship; his ex was something of a harpy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMANCHE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sounds about right. You hafta admit when you got the looks of Syd, it\u2019s not as if the gals are lining up at your door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shit man, guy\u2019s no Elvis, no Dean Martin. Takes what he can get, no biggie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMANCHE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fair enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, after a year of living together, his lady announces she\u2019s got one in the oven. We\u2019re talking a shotgun situation here. Syd doesn\u2019t have enough balls to stab her cunt with a coat hanger, doesn\u2019t have enough moxie to split. He just sticks around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMANCHE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, the baby arrives, Syd takes one look at it and figures he\u2019s been duped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMANCHE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kid is half black. Bitch was fucking a negro behind his back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMANCHE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, so who\u2019s Daddy? Next door neighbour? Delivery guy? What?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A goddamn college professor. Syd\u2019s better half was enrolled at night school and this charmer from St. Louis was teaching her class, dunno if the guy\u2019s any good as a teacher but he\u2019s great at seducing his students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMANCHE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I imagine the guy\u2019s got tenure and balls of brass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh yeah. And get this, Syd\u2019s woman is just one of the many bitches, this cat is nailing, something like thirteen last time I checked. So, one girl gets talking, another girl gets talking, soon everybody\u2019s talking, and this St. Louis motherfucker quits before they fire his ass. In regard to the guys raising kids which ain\u2019t theirs\u2019, he says shit like \u201cIt\u2019s love not blood that makes a great dad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMANCHE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christ, if that was coming from a guy who was adopted, or a stepdad or hell some guy who failed a paternity test, I mean, alright, but coming from an asshole nailing other dudes\u2019 ladies? I\u2019d call that the crap coming of a brood parasite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brood Parasite?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMANCHE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuckoo birds. Laying their eggs in another bird\u2019s nest you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right, right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMANCHE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what did Syd do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing. We were all thinking he\u2019d go and kick the guy\u2019s ass. Hell, I\u2019d have gladly held the motherfucker down but nah. Syd just throws his girl out the front door and looks so fucking relieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMANCHE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He never wanted a kid in the first place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guess he felt guilty about abandoning that bitch. Still, he got himself a vasectomy soon afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
