EXT.Dean's House.Afternoon
The camera[about fifteen yards away from the front door] focuses on Dean exiting his house, with an intent look on his face.He puts his earphones in and begins to walk. Te camera follows Dean[ from behind his head] out of his subdivision. As he walks down a narrow street the camera follows him parallel.We begin to hear a clip from the Corey Holcomb 5150 Show[ seemingly this is what is playing in his earphones.
EXT.Shopping Strip. Afternoon
The camera now faces Dean as he approaches the strip. He then takes one earphone out and opens the door to the convenience store. .
INT.INSIDE CONVENIENCE STORE. AFTERNOON
The camera follows Dean through all different angles as he wanders through the store. He gets a Mandarin Jarritos and some sour patch kids. While there he sees a friend,Hank, and approaches him.
DEAN

HANK
(gleefully)

DEAN

HANK

You dont need high school, you dont need college, you dont need none of that shit to make it now in this world.

DEAN
(almost perplexed)

HANK
(curiously)

DEAN
Oh not long, I was actually about to leave, but I'll get in touch later.
HANK
(seemingly in a rush)
Aight cool,.. well i'll talk to you later
Dean then proceeds to walk toward the check out line. The camera follows different people from all different angles.The camera[ behind a grocery shelf] focuses on HANK and few other YOUTHS.
HANK
(concerned)
Do we have to do it now, I mean, i got a friend in here
Youth #1
( annoyed)
Well tell that nigga to get down or get the fuck out.
HANK
Aight.
The camera faces Dean[ about five yards back]and gunshots are heard. Hank and the other YOUTHS approach the front of the store, each carring a gun.
YOUTH #2
Alright everybody get the FUCK down and you wont get hurt.
YOUTH #1 and YOUTH #2 approach the cash register as Hank watches the store patrons. The CLERK lady is on the ground, cowered behind the register.
YOUTH #1
Get the Fuck up and get the fuckin money out of the register.
CLERK LADY
(crying)
You dont have to do this, plea..
YOUTH #2
Shut the fuck up and do what he says
While Hank and the YOUTHs are preoccupied with the clerk and patrons, a man with a hand gun tries to sneak from behind a shelf and get the upper hand on one of the YOUTHs. YOUTH #2 notices and shoots him in the chest. The camera[above him] focuses on him as blood gurgles from his mouth and he dies slowly.
HANK
( almost in tears)
What the fuck man, you didnt say we were gonna kill somebody.
YOUTH#2
He tried to be a fuckin hero, so we had to make an example.
The Clerk[ now balling] quickly hands YOUTH #1 the rest of the money.Meanwile, Dean gets off the floor and opens his Jarritos and begins to drink
CLERK
( Crying angrily)
Get out, haven't you done enough.
YOUTH #2
You ready?
YOUTH #1 (CONT'D)
Yeah, ayye you.
He looks at Hank
We're leaving.
Hank begins to slowly walk towards the Youths who are now towards the exit, and as he leaves he looks at Dean, who is by now the only one standing and Dean gives him a nod. Hank and the Youths leave and Dean puts a Five dollar bill[ for the Jarritos and sour patchkids] and walk out as if nothing happened.
