Episode 7- Our Dancing Days
The lights show on the Laviticus stage as 'Money For Nothing played'.
"I want my, MTV...." Jamal sings.
"Consumers." Hakeem speaks into his mic.
The lights focused on the dancers who lowered to show Mercedes in the middle.
"Silver spooners." A chuckle from Hakeem. "It's nothin', we get money for it....Cedes."
That gold mic in her hand. "Commas and zeroes. That's the way we do it. We make it work in this, economy."
"We the Lyons." Hakeem backed her up.
"Roll in dinero." Mercedes kept her movements with her dancers behind her. "Pockets stay polluted. Money is dirty and we don't play clean."
"We chasin' paper, run, run, hurry, move it. Get out the way if you ain't bout that green. Mal."
Jamal took over.
"Intensive labor, taxes are included. Money is dirty and we don't play clean."
"We got to install microwave ovens."
"Yeah, we do." Hakeem chimes.
"Custom kitchen deliveries. We gotta move these, refrigerators."
"Yeah, we do." Both twins come in.
"We gotta move these color TVs... " Jamal sings.
Hakeem and Mercedes came through as the dancers parted the way for them.
"We are the people who turn illegal to legal. We take the good with the evil. Create more sales than the Beatles." Hakeem raps walking up the steps.
"And the lion's our logo."
"We're the sharks in the water. Multimedia moguls, more offices than the Oval, we do everything."
"Came up in the game to entertain. Finish it by any means necessary."
"Finish it by any means necessary." Jamal came in.
Hakeem dances back between the women.
"We everywhere, millionaires. Billionaires, visionary. Back to bidness, let's expand. Think ahead to sell the brand, oh!"
Jamal comes up on the walkway with his siblings. "We got to install microwave ovens."
Mercedes nods. "Yeah, we do."
