BY: Fred Boyett **** Rachel Hicken **** Kieth Marlin **** Hector Romero ** ** Pd.4 ** ** 10-21-09 ** // (Its early in the morning and everyone is arriving at school. Danny is standing by his locker talking to some of his friends. Candy comes up from behind to talk to Danny.) // Candy: Hey Danny! Danny: Oh hi Candy, how are you? Candy: I’m good, I’m good, and you know what would be an excellent idea? Danny: Tell me. Candy: If you were to throw a party later tonight when your parents leave for New York City! Danny: Wow that is actually a pretty good idea and my birthday //is// coming up soon and its about time I have another killer party. Candy: Yeah! That sounds like a awsome, you could invite everyone at school. Danny: No, not this time. I only want about…35… 173 people to come, just my real close friends, you know? Candy: Oh well that’s cool too, I guess. Either way I’m so excited. Danny: Yup, well I gotta go to class. See you there Candy! Candy: Later. // (Ricardo and Jose are at their house preparing for their first day at school. They are nervous, even though Ricardo doesn’t want to show it. They do not think they will be accepted and they really want to fit in.) // Jose: Hey RICARDO are you ready? It’s the first day and I don’t want to be late. Ricardo: Ayo homes Calm down it’s just a school full of Honkies, who you tryin’ to impress anyway, some little White girl? //(Move your eyebrows up and down)// // (Jose steps up to Ricardo and gives him a menacing stare) // // (Ricardo gets a serious look on his face) // Ricardo: you tryin’ to step up to me little man?! Jose: So what if I am? // (Ricardo starts to smile) // Ricardo: I was just kiddin’ bro chill let’s go do this. // (Jose and Ricardo walk out the door) // // (Jose and Ricardo are at lunch and find out about the party and they go talk to Danny to see if they can attend the party. Danny is sitting w/ Candy at lunch and Ricardo walks over to them) // Ricardo: Hey! I heard that you were havin’ a party tonight. Danny : Ya what’s it to you ? And who are you anyway? Candy: Hey I know him! That’s the kid of that guy that takes care of my garden! Ricardo: Yaaa, that’s me. I was just wondering if me and my brother over there could come because we’re new in town and we don’t really know anyone. Danny: No I don’t know you! For all I know you could be a drug dealer or something! Ricardo: What just because I’m new and the way I dress you think I’m on drugs or something? That is so stereotypical Whatever man. //(Ricardo walks up to Jose at the lunch table and whispers.)// Get ready we’re going to a party tonight. // (Ricardo and Jose are on their way to the party. Jose has an uneasy feeling about this party and doesn’t think it would be a good idea to go.) // Jose: Are you sure we should be going, I mean we don’t know anyone that’s there and I don’t think we’ll fit in. Ricardo: Just relax we are going to fit right in tonight and we gonna have a good time. Jose: Alright well I guess we should try to make friends. Just don’t mess it up ok? Ricardo: Relax, trust me and just let me do the talking. (//Jose and Ricardo arrive at the front of Danny’s house and they stand there for a minute and finally decide to go in. They hop over the fence and walk in the front door.//) // (At the party, Danny and Candy are standing next to each other at the food table. Danny has just noticed that Ricardo, his uninvited guest has entered his party.) // Candy: Sweet party Danny! Danny: Yeah it really is, isn’t it? I really didn’t think I’d be able to get everything ready in time but everything worked out! Candy: Yeah, really good job getting everything done! Danny: Thanks Candy! Candy: Oh of course Danny! Danny: OH MY GOD! Candy: What Danny? Danny: I don’t believe it. Candy: What?!!! Danny: That jerk is at my party! I’m going over there to teach him a lesson. Candy: No! Please don’t, just leave him alone. Danny: Nah, I’m going to mess him up.//(Danny walking over to where Ricardo and Jose are. Candy chasing after him.)// I thought I told you that you couldn’t come to my party! Ricardo: Dude just relax. You didn’t even realize I was here for over an hour! Danny: You really need to get out of my house. Ricardo: Naw bro I kinda like this place. // (Jose walks up to Ricardo and whispers) // Jose: Let Danny: Look, get out of here right now or I’m going to make something out of this. Ricardo: Alright, lets do this bro. Right here, right now. Danny: Don’t push your luck buddy. Just get out of here. Jose: Hey Ricardo man, lets just go. This isn’t even worth it. Ricardo: Nah man, I’m going to teach him a lesson about new kids. Candy: Stop please! // (Danny and Ricardo squaring up, preparing to throw down) // Jose: Guys don’t do this! Ricardo: Lets do this essey. //(Danny steps up and delivers a massive punch to Ricardo square in the face)// Ahhh! What did you do that for? Candy: Jeez Danny, you’re such a jerk. Are you alright Ricardo? Ricardo: //(angry tone)// I’m fine. Danny: Get out and stay out. Jose: Come on man, lets get out of this place. //(They run out)// Candy: Danny you really shouldn’t have hit him! (//Running out after them!)// Danny: //(talking to the audience, standing still with a grim look on his face)// Don’t worry, they’ll be back next party. They always are. The Party is an allegory to Immigration. Danny symbolizes the government fighting off illegal immigration, Candy stands for those sympathetic to immigrants, and Jose and Ricardo symbolize immigrants/illegal immigrants.
