TASHA
Yeah, and you told me that you
wouldn't call him.
DALE
Well, I called him, okay?
TASHA
And he said yes? Just like that?
I know he ain't say you could try out for free. Where you get six
grand from? You dealin' again?
DALE
No. Jerrod talked to Principal Higgins for me. I'm gonna rep East Central on the show.
TASHA
When did all this happen?
DALE
About two months
ago, right after that gas station job fell through. He believes in me,
Tasha.
TASHA
Jerrod don't believe in nobody but Jerrod.
DALE
Tasha, I've been trying for six months to find a regular job. It's just not happening, not with my background. This is the only way I know how to provide for us.

Dale approaches Tasha. Her hands are shaking. He rubs her knuckles with his fingers and looks into her eyes.
