ST. FEENIX ISLAND
PREVIEW EXCERPT #2
-down not out-
Lamont
Bro chill...give me the bottle.
Cameron
[Jerks away from him, stumbling through the kitchen] Fuck off me...I’m fine.
Lamont
No you’re not...you’ve been drinking a week straight. I’m just…
Cameron
I’m FINE!
Lamont
Mike D and Nyne are worried about you.
Cameron
[Snickers as he takes another guzzle]
Mike D and Nyne are worried about ME...and I’m the one who gave the mother fuckers somewhere to stay while we made this album...you know...the last time I checked I’ve been helping a lot of mother fuckers out lately...and what has it gotten me?
Lamont
Cam…
Cameron
WHAT HAS IT GOTTEN ME?!! HUH?! I’ll tell you...it’s gotten me a fucking ton of mother fuckers asking me for money who have NEVER helped me when I was struggling...I got a cheating whore of a “girlfriend” who can’t pronounce a goddamn thing unless there’s a dick on the tip of her tongue.
[Stumbles over his trash can]
Lamont
[Trying to help him]
Cam…
Cameron
Then there’s Strahn and all those label bitches telling me what the fuck I can and can’t write...I’M TOO OFFENSIVE?! These mother fuckers don’t know me.
Lamont
I’m just looking out for you bro.
Cameron
I don’t need anybody looking out for me...because they always want something after they do. The only person that looked out for was my mother...and...she’s gone, Mont.... [Slides to the floor] She’s gone.
[Begins drunkenly sobbing]
Lamont
I know, man. I know…
[Sits next to him]
But she’s still in your heart.
[Reaches for the bottle]
Cameron
Stop trying to stop me from drinking, I don’t WANT to stop!
Lamont
That’s what you think I was trying to do this whole time?
[Shakes his head]
Nigga I was trying to get a sip for my goddamn self.
[There’s an awkward silence, Cameron bursts out laughing as Lamont does the same and then leans on his friend]
Lamont
I’m with you, Cam. I’m not going anywhere. I’m not going anywhere.
