"1, 2 Step"

Mr. DJ is at the booth spinning something dope, this should not be the actual song, “1,2 Step,” but something made for the production. Ms. Goals and Ms. Independent go over to the DJ booth to see if they can get their song requests in. Mr. DJ ignores them when they come up. Ms. Goals and Ms. Independent have to yell over the music and lean toward each other to talk.

Ms. Goals: (to Mr. DJ) Hey!

Ms. Independent: Yo DJ!

Mr. DJ continues to ignore the women.

Ms. Independent: DJ, “this beat is automatic, supersonic, hypnotic, funky fresh.” How do you choose the songs you do?

Ms. Goals: I can’t help to “work my body, so melodic, this beat goes right through my chest” (she starts to pop her chest to the music and groove.)

Ms. Independent: Hi, we’d like to request a couple songs.

Mr. DJ: (looks up at them) I don’t take requests.

Ms. Goals: Why not?

Mr. DJ: You see this? (gestures to the crowd) “Everybody, ma and papi, came to party.” What I play works for the crowd that is here tonight. Why don’t you ladies “grab somebody, work ya body...let me see you one, two step.”

Ms. Independent: You don’t have to play them.

Mr. DJ gestures the women away. They go back to the floor and start to dance.

Ms. Goals: (hyping Ms. Independent) “Rock it” girl and “don’t stop it.” (gesturing to others to join the two) “Everybody get on the floor” and we’ll “crank the party up!”

Ms. Independent: “We about to get it on” tonight! This is great. I wish we could of had our songs.

Mr. DJ: (yelling from the booth) “Let me see you one, two step, I love it when you one, two step.”

Mr. DJ, Ms. Independent, Ms. Goals: “Everybody one, two step!”

Ms. Independent, Ms. Goals: “We about to get it on.”

Ms. Independent and Ms. Goals continue dancing, but Ms. Independent really wants to hear her song so she approaches Mr. DJ again. Ms. Goals keeps dancing.

Mr. DJ: I hope you and your friend are enjoying the night.

Ms. Independent: We are. I wanted to come over here to tell you that “this beat is outrageous, so contagious, make you crave it, jazze made it.”

Mr. DJ: What was the last part?

Ms. Independent: All the songs you’re playing are “top-charted.”

Mr. DJ: “Ever since the day I started,” it’s how I’ve done it. Giving the people what they want.

Ms. Independent: If you’re giving the people what they want then why don’t you take requests?

Mr. DJ: It means that my brand won’t change. If you tell me to play country, it ruins what I’ve been doing here for a year.

Ms. Independent: You didn’t even let me tell you what I was going to ask for?

Mr. DJ: Okay, you “gon’ drop it like this? It don’t matter to me” so tell me what it is that you want.

Ms. Independent leans over and tells Mr. DJ the song. The audience doesn’t hear this part of the conversation.

Mr. DJ: Okay, okay! “We can dance slow.”

Ms. Independent: I don’t care if you play it, I want it, but I get it. “Whichever way the beat drops, our bodies will go.”

Ms. Independent goes back to join her friend they continue to dance for a few seconds and the scene ends when Mr. DJ is about to put on the next track.
