| Plot: | In this modern version of Shakespeare's 'Othello', Odin James is the black star of the basketball team at an otherwise white boarding school. He is headed for big time with his sport and is in love with Desi, the most popular girl in school. Meanwhile, Hugo is the coach's son, but he is outshone on court by Odin, and his father says he thinks of Odin as a son as well. Hugo's feelings of envy and neglect lead him to construct a plot to make Odin doubt Desi's love for him, a plot which Hugo is willing to take to its most extreme consequences. |

Quotes

[first lines] Hugo: All my life I always wanted to fly. I always wanted to live like a hawk. I know you're not supposed to be jealous of anything, but... to take flight, to soar above everything and everyone, now that's living. [last lines] Hugo: All my life I always wanted to fly. I always wanted to live like a hawk. I know you're not supposed to be jealous of anything, but... to take flight, to soar above everything and everyone, now that's living. But a hawk is no good around normal birds. It can't fit in. Even though all the other birds probably wanna be hawks; they hate him for what they can't be. Proud. Powerful. Determined. Dark. Odin is a hawk. He soars above us. He can fly. One of these days, everyone's gonna pay attention to me. Because I'm gonna fly too. Emily: I have something for you. Hugo: You have things for lots of guys. Emily: All this time I've been looking for romance and all I had to do was steal something. Hugo: You didn't steal anything, you just borrowed it for a little while. And if you wouldn't mind I'd like to borrow you. Odin: My life is over, that's it. But while all ya'll are out here livin' yours, sitting around talking about the nigger who lost it back in high school, you make sure you tell them the truth. You tell them I loved that girl! I did! But I got played! [Points to Hugo] He twisted my head up. He fucked it up. I ain't no different than none of ya'll. My mom's ain't no crack head. I wasn't no gang banger. It wasn't some hood rat drug dealer that tripped me up. It was this white, prep school motherfucker standing right there! You tell them where I'm from... didn't make me do this. [Shoots himself in the chest, collapses] Odin: Where is my scarf? Desi: I don't know. Odin: You lost it? Desi: No, I just misplaced it! Odin: Does Michael know where my scarf is? Desi: What? If you're asking me if I'm cheating on you, get some balls and ask! Michael? You're the only person I've ever been with and you're the only person I want to be with! And if you want to be with me you never talk to me like that again, ever! Hugo: I did what I did, and that's all you need to know. From here on out I say nothing. Odin: Jason, ask him why he did it. Ask him! Hugo: You don't say nothing, I did what I did, and that's all you need to know. From here on out, I say nothing. Hugo: [Roger accidentally shoots Mike in the leg] No! Fuck Rog! It has to look like suicide! It has to look like fucking suicide Roger! Fuck! Roger Rodriguez: I did what you said! Now we do it up close! Hugo: No! The cops will know someone else fired the first bullet! Fuck Rog! You fucking herbed us! You fucking herbed us! Where's the scarf? Where's the fucking scarf! Roger Rodriguez: I lost it. Hugo: When the cop comes I'm gonna tell them you shot him in self defense. Roger Rodriguez: If he wakes up he's going to tell on me! Hugo: Sorry bro, Desi's dead. [Shoots Roger] |
