RAYMOND (CONT'D) OUR KIND OF PEOPLE - 8th NETWORK DRAFT 12-21-20 Which, on top of everything else, has put my marriage in jeopardy. And
40.
I know you never cared about the business as much as I do, but I’d think you’d at least care about that. We’re supposed to be family. Jack takes this in, looking solemn and guilty. Raymond directs his attention back to Quincy -- RAYMOND (CONT'D)
I’ve been working so hard to save Darmon, to maintain its legacy so I could make sure there was something to pass down to Q. Turns he doesn’t want anything to do with it... JACK
So he finally told you about the NBA? He was nervous about that, thought I could help persuade you. Raymond hides his annoyance that Jack knew before he did. JACK (CONT'D) He loves the game and he’s good.
What does he have to lose if he just tries? He’s young. Remember when we were young? RAYMOND I remember that you never had to take life seriously. I remember me working my ass off while you used the corporate card like your personal bank. Quincy doesn’t have your skin color so he doesn’t have your options. JACK -- We both inherited this company. RAYMOND Money doesn't fix history. Do you know what I do two weeks before I move my family here every summer? I send a photo of my son down to the police station to let them know what he looks like this year so they don't pull him over and shoot him. My son does not have your privilege. We may have been raised as brothers, but we're not the same.
And with that, Raymond walks away. EXT. OAK BLUFFS BEACH CLUB - MAGIC HOUR
