Scene 7: Peer Pressure
Enter Hope, who passes by the ad image and gives a bewildered look.

Hope: What?!

Allure: Hey Hope, wassup?

Hope: Hey whatcha ya doin'? (subtly notices the smell of tobacco on Allure)

Allure: I just came from Pac Bell park, they were having an Oaktown vs. S.F. game and I had to go represent. And then guess what happened?
Hope: What?

Allure: Chicken butt. You've fallen for that every time, since like 2nd grade. O.K., so, after I left the park, on my way back home right, there was this van that was givin' out all kinds of free stuff. I told ‘em I was 18 and they gave me cartons of cigarettes. Here have a pack – go long (tosses a pack to Hope, which she catches). They're not half bad, and they gave me 2 cartons for free - that'll save me a bunch - I spent over $600 bucks on ‘em last semester.

Hope: $600?!

Allure: Yeah, so how's the team doing?

Hope: We're goin ' to the championships this season. How come I haven't seen you at practice?

Allure: Well you know, things change. Pulls lighter out. Wanna light?

Hope: Hesitates Naw, I'm cool. (looks at pack of cigarettes and puts them in her pocket)

Allure: Finally the Muni is here. (Starts moving towards "the bus" SR) Hey, will I see you at my auntie's baby shower on Friday?

Hope: (Starts moving SL). Yeah and I'm going snowboarding after, you wanna come?

Allure: I wish, but I can't, I'm too broke.

Hope: Oh. Hey, you know what?

Allure: What?

Hope: Chickenbutt.

(They both exit, laughing).
Transition between scenes: Kadeem/May first presets rattle, then turns chair and lastly pulls away black silk.
