MUSIC 6A: WHAT UP?
(USNAVI is checking lottery numbers. BENNY is there fanning himself.)
[BENNY]
Does my tie look straight?
[USNAVI]
Benny, you look the same as every day. Quit trying to impress Nina.
[SONNY]
(Sniffs.)
Whoo, you need to impress some Old Spice under those arms.
[BENNY]
Shut up. My boss put me on dispatch, I need to look professional.
[SONNY]
"My boss, my boss." You're paving the road to someone else's dreams. Man, strike out on your own.
[BENNY]
I'm learning on someone else's dime. The day I open Benny's Car Service, I'll know my trade inside and out.
[USNAVI]
Either one of you Rockefellers wanna take this business of my hands?
[SONNY]
[BENNY]
Heck no.
Naw, I'm cool.
(GRAFFITTI PETE enters displaying a hand-airbrushed t-shirts.)
[GRAFFITI PETE]
What up? Buy my t-shirt.
[USNAVI]
That's your sale pitch? Get the hell out of here.
[GRAFFITI PETE]
Today's special, two for twenty.
[USNAVI]
How about I give you nothing and you scrub your initials off my awning?
[SONNY]
(Hands PETE a slushee.)
Sonny's Secret Recipe.
[USNAVI]
That's a dollar twenty five.
[GRAFFITI PETE]
Let's trade. I got some roman candles, bottle rockets. Third of July, party starts tonight!
[USNAVI]
Contraband. Vandalism. You got three seconds before I call the cops. 9. 1.
(GRAFFITI PETE exits.)
[SONNY]
Usnavi, double check this.
[USNAVI]
Take Five Lotto. Hold up, we sold a winner yesterday?
[BENNY]
Somebody won?
[SONNY]
Yo, I want a cut of your cut!
[USNAVI]
I don't get a cut. Yup, these numbers match.
[BENNY]
MUSIC 7: 96,000
[USNAVI]
Ninety-six thousand!
[SONNY/BENNY]
Damn!
[USNAVI]
Ninety-six thousand!
(GRAFFITI PETE pokes his head back in, still with the slushee.)
[SONNY]
Dollars? Holler!
[USNAVI]
Ninety-six thousand!
[BENNY, spoken]
Yo, somebody won!
[USNAVI]
Ninety-six thousand!
[BENNY]
Yo,
If I won the lotto tomorrow
Well, I know I wouldn’t bother goin’ on no spendin’ spree
I pick a business school and pay the entrance fee!
Then maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll stay friends with me!
I’ll be a businessman, richer than Nina’s daddy!
Donald Trump and I on the links, and he’s my caddy!
My money’s makin’ money, I’m goin’ from po’ to mo’ dough!
Keep the bling, I want the brass ring, like Frodo!
[USNAVI]
Oh no, here goes Mr. Braggadocio
Next thing you know, you’re lying like Pinocchio—
[BENNY]
Yo, if you’re scared of the bull, stay out the rodeo!
[GRAFFITI PETE]
Yo, I got more hoes than a phone book in Tokyo!
[USNAVI]
Ooh, you better stop rappin’, you not ready
It’s gonna get hot and heavy
And you already sweaty—
[GRAFFITI PETE]
Yo-yo-yo! Yo!
[USNAVI]
Yo! I’m sorry is that an answer?
Shut up, go home and pull ya damn pants up!
As for you, Mr. Frodo of the Shire—
96 G’s ain’t enough to retire
[BENNY]
C'mon, I’ll have enough to knock your ass off its axis!
[USNAVI]
You’ll have a knapsack full of jack after taxes!
(SONNY runs to ABUELA CLAUDIA)
[SONNY]
Ninety-six thousand!
[ABUELA CLAUDIA]
(Crosses herself.)
Ay, alabanza!
[SONNY]
Ninety-six thousand!
[DANIELA/CARLA, spoken]
No me diga!
[SONNY]
Ninety-six thousand!
[VANESSA, spoken]
I never win shit!
[SONNY]
Ninety-six thousand!
(CARLA and DANIELA come out to the street.)
[BENNY]
For real, though, imagine how it would feel goin’ real slow
Down the highway of life with no regrets
And no breakin’ your neck for respect or a paycheck
For real, though, I’ll take a break from the wheel and we’ll throw
The biggest block party, everybody here
It’s a weekend when we can breathe, take it easy
[NEIGHBORS]
Yo! Ma, it’s me, check my tickets!
[CARLA]
Check one two three
What would you do with ninety-six G’s—
[DANIELA]
Who me?
[CARLA]
I mean if it’s just between you and me—
[DANIELA]
Esa pregunta es tricky!
[CARLA]
I know
[DANIELA]
With ninety-six G’s
I’d start my life with a brand new lease
Atlantic City with a Malibu Breeze
[CARLA]
And a brand new weave!
[DANIELA]
Or maybe just bleach...
[VANESSA]
Y’all are freaks.
[USNAVI, spoken]
Yo, I’m just sayin’...
(sung)
It’s silly when we get into these crazy hypotheticals
You really want some bread? Then go ahead create a set of goals
And cross them off the list as you pursue ‘em
And with those ninety-six, I know precisely what I’m doin’
[VANESSA]
What'chu doin’?
[USNAVI]
What’m I doin? What’m I doin?
It takes most of that cash just to save my ass from financial ruin
Sonny can keep the coffee brewin’
I’ll spend a few on you
‘Cause the only room with a view is a room with you in it
And I could give Abuela Claudia the rest of it
Just fly me down to Puerto Plata, I’ll make the best of it!
You really love this business?
[SONNY]
No
[USNAVI]
Tough, Merry Christmas
You’re now the youngest tycoon in Washington Hiznits!
[SONNY]
Yo!
With ninety-six thousand, I’d finally fix housin’
Give the barrio computers with wireless web browsin’
Your kids are livin’ without a good edjumication
Change the station, teach 'em about gentrification
The rent is escalatin’
[GRAFFITI PETE]
What?!
[SONNY]
The rich are penetratin’
[GRAFFITI PETE]
What?!
[SONNY]
We pay our corporations when we should be demonstratin’
[GRAFFITI PETE]
What?!
[SONNY]
What about immigration?
[GRAFFITI PETE]
What?!
[SONNY]
Politicians be hatin’
[GRAFFITI PETE]
What?!
[SONNY]
Racism in this nation’s gone from latent to blatant
[COMMUNITY]
Oooooh!
[SONNY]
I’ll cash my ticket and picket, invest in protest
Never lose my focus 'til the city takes notice
And you know this man! I'll never sleep
Because the ghetto has a million promises for me to keep!
(A stunned silence. VANESSA kisses SONNY on the cheek.)
[VANESSA]
You are so cute!
[SONNY
I was just thinking off the top of my head.
[USNAVI]
Ninety-six K: Go.
[VANESSA]
If I win the lottery, you’ll never see me again
[USNAVI]
Damn, we only jokin’, stay broke then
[VANESSA]
I’ll be downtown
Get a nice studio, I'll get out of the barrio
[VANESSA]
If I
win the
lottery
You’ll wonder where
I’ve been
[BENNY]
For real, though
