1.13: The Marshalls
Act III
(Back at the Carr House, Shanice decided to drop in on her little sister and have a chat. She found her in her room playing her keyboard. She’d actually gotten rather good at it.)
Shanice: Hey little woman.
Erika: Hey Shanice.
Shanice: Listen, don’t worry about Francisco. Brothers are idiots by nature.
Erika: Thanks.
Shanice: Listen, I see you’re becoming a young lady. And I happen to agree that you might just know a little bit more about things than Francisco gives you credit for.
Erika: Really.
Shanice: Especially about Sharice, I do believe our brother is a little obsessed with her.
Erika: (laughs) Did you just say our brother?
Shanice: I guess I did.
Erika: Shanice, can you keep a secret?
Shanice: Sure.
Erika: I have a boyfriend.
Shanice: What?
Erika: His name is Shawn and he’s awesome.
Shanice: Why is it a secret?
Erika: For a lot of reasons. I don’t think mom is ready. Francisco’s a idiot about these things. I love him, but he is. And I just don’t think anyone wants to see me growing up. Or they’d get real stupid and turn it into some little girl thing. But then that leaves me with no one to talk to about him, when I need advice and stuff. I mean, there’s Tina. She pretends she knows everything, but she’s never had a boyfriend.
