Beanpie: Volume 10 Episode 2 - Mystery Call

Written by Shaun Bolden

Scene 3: Beanpie runs upstairs and sees Jamie and Tailgate in the kitchen.

Jamie: Hey Beanpie, you know they closed the store down?

Beanpie: Really? All because of the warehouse thing?

Jamie: Nope, the IRS came in and did a “random audit”. They ceased everything and closed the store for the time being.

Beanpie: In my opinion that is a good thing.

Jamie: Yeah, but my brother thinks otherwise. He is now out of a job.

Tailgate: Which makes going to Jamie’s house even less of an option.

Beanpie: Why would the IRS just pop up randomly at a time like this?

Jamie: I have no clue, but my brother is even more miserable than before.

Beanpie: That does suck. What is he gonna do now?

Jamie: Not sure, he has been looking though.

Beanpie: Hey Tailgate, is that paint still in the shed?

Tailgate: How should I know? I don’t go in there. That’s where you keep your “secret” rubber doll.

Beanpie: I saw you outside with her yesterday, so I thought maybe you would know where the paint was.

Tailgate: That is a shame. Even the blow up doll would rather have me than you. And I don’t know if there is paint out there. Are you still working on that old cart?

Beanpie: Yeah, I’m gonna put my stuff in there and get a spot downtown to sell it.

Tailgate: Well genius I hope you took into consideration the fact that you have to lug it to and fro with all of your heavy merchandise.

*Tailgate and Jamie leave the kitchen

Beanpie(to self): Man I never thought of that. How am I gonna move this thing?

Scene 4: Beanpie is now in his room thinking of how he is going to move the cart around.

Beanpie(to self): Man, I have to find a way to move this cart. I should look on the internet and find a way to move it.

*Beanpie looks up a bunch of ways to move it. He finds a go kart site and decides to use go kart engines to move his push cart.

Beanpie(to self): Man these engines are expensive. This is the best way to go though. I have to convince Lisa to help me out with this one.

Scene 5: Lisa arrives home with her mystery guest.

Lisa(yells): Randolph, come here and meet our guest.

*Beanpie comes into the living room. When he sees the guest he is shocked.

Beanpie: What are you doing here?

Charlene: I know I am that last person you want to see right now, but I helped you out.

Beanpie: Really now? How did you do that? Was it by telling that old geezer what I was making, or was it by milking me for the information?

Charlene: Well, I wouldn’t say I milked you for the info, you ran your mouth every time you came into the store. I didn’t know my uncle was robbing you, and when I found out I told your girlfriend all about it.

Lisa: Yeah, she was the one who called me at the warehouse and told me what was going on, she also told me all about the plan when I ran into her at the store.

Beanpie: So why didn’t you tell me earlier?

Lisa: Well you manage to mess plans up, and things worked out better as you can see this way.

Beanpie: Well, I guess they did. What I want to know is how the IRS got to the store so fast?

Charlene: Well, I was the little birdie that tipped them off about a month ago. I can’t stand the bull my uncle pulls. I had to get away, and now I don’t have to worry about him for a while.

Lisa: I am going to take her to work with me and get her a job.

Beanpie: And what will she be doing?

Lisa: You know, office work.

Beanpie: Well, thanks for the help Charlene, and watch out for the Green Pigeon here.

Lisa: You are this close to me pruning your roses!!!

*Lisa and Charlene head into the kitchen while Beanpie goes back out to work on the cart again.

Beanpie - Volume 10 Episode 1: The Mystery Call

Written by :Shaun Bolden

Opening Scene: It is now Saturday morning, and Beanpie is outside fixing up the old push cart he acquired from the warehouse.

Beanpie(to self): Haha, the number one hustler is back in business. I have a new cart to sell my stuff on, and I have all of my inventions back, plus my newest sham to add to the mix.

*As he is washing the cart, Shaun walks by.

Beanpie: Ice Ju….

Shaun: Can you do me one favor, and call me Shaun? I mean it just so happens to be my name.

Beanpie: Right mate. So how’s the work day for ya?

Shaun: Same ol same. Bills, and ads, nothing new. You really are gonna fix that thing up and hustle from it aren’t you?

Beanpie: You know it mate. I am on my way to making hustler history.

Shaun: Yeah right, and where exactly do you plan on selling this stuff?

Beanpie: I am gonna find a spot downtown, and set shop up there.

Shaun: Good luck with that.

Beanpie: I have to get going on my newest sham too. The more products you have, the better chance of selling.

Shaun: Man you are hopeless. Take it easy man.

Beanpie: Peace Ice Juicy.

Shaun: My name is……forget it.

Scene 2: Beanpie is in the basement putting the final touches on his newest sham while Lisa sits and watches.

Lisa: So this is the newest “sham” that is gonna make you the number one hustler I presume.

Beanpie: Well now I have a plethora of items to make money off of.

Lisa(sarcastically): Yup, there’s no way you’ll fail this time.

Beanpie: You just watch, and I am gonna be the biggest thing around pretty soon.

Lisa: Like I said before, if this stuff starts moving, I will pay for that spot in the flea market.

Beanpie: Hey Lis, where exactly do you work?

Lisa: In a building.

Beanpie: I know that, but what do you do at work?

Lisa: Office stuff.

Beanpie: I see where this is going. Let me ask you this, how did you know that Fat Man? Better yet, how did he know you?

Lisa: Some things are better left alone……and this is one of them.

Beanpie: Whateva love.

Lisa: So what is this stuff? Super dirt?

Beanpie: It is a very effective, and organic fertilizer. I call it Earth 2 Go. You should know all about it with your green thumb style and all.

Lisa: Would you like to taste my green thumb?

Beanpie: You can’t deal with my super inventive technique.

Lisa: What is that?

Beanpie: I’m not sure, I just invented it.

Lisa: I see you’re a comedian today, I call this move “Raking the leaves”.

*Lisa jumps on top of Beanpie, and they playfully wrestle a bit.

Lisa: I wish you would just give this up and get a real job Randolph.

Beanpie: I will if you let me work with you.

Lisa: Seriously, when are you going to get a real job?

Beanpie: I won’t have to, this won’t fail.

*Just then Lisa’s phone rings. She talks briefly and then hangs up.

Lisa: Hey I gotta run.

Beanpie: And who is this that has you running off like that?

Lisa: You’ll see, I am going to pick them up now.

Beanpie: Alright I’ll be here waiting.

Lisa: I’ll be right back.

First Disney Black Princess to Hit Theatres...

Written by: Northernstar


December 11th in the epic movie "The Princess & the Frog".

Okay, it may not be a big deal for you. But it's definitely a big deal for all the little girls out there, who idolize the gorgeous Disney Princesses. It's no surprise, Disney chose to create a story involving African-Americans because they've focused on different ethnic groups such as Princess Jasmine (Arabic), Mulan (Japanese), and Pocahantas (Indian); now Tiana (African-American). The movie is loosely based off the classic tale "The Frog Princess".

And the Carrot said "I Fight Cancer Better"

Written By: Northernstar

Did you know whole carrots prevent Cancer better than sliced carrots? If you didn't, neither did I! A current study reports there's a 25% increase of sugar in whole carrots and when chopped carrots are boiling, it reduces the natural nutrients provided. Interesting, huh?

Beanpie - Volume 9 Episode 2: Black Raven

Written by Shaun Bolden

Scene 4: Shaun sneaks up on the guy guarding the door and hits him with the two by four, and then he sneaks inside. He looks around, and is then grabbed from behind by Gary.

Gary: Hey Unc, look what we have here, the dark knight in shining armor. And it looks like he knocked Mikey out at the door.

Fat Man: Hey George, go drag Mikey in here and guard the door. (turns to Beanpie) It looks like you even came with a few friends. Hahahahaha, this is so cute, but nothing is going to work.

Beanpie: Don’t worry mate, there are a lot more men out there waiting to storm this place.

Fat Man: Didn’t I tell you about the cameras, we saw when you came and who you came with. I am not worried about your little posse crashing this party.
Beanpie: Then you should know that they will be calling the police, and all of my stuff will be returned to me.

Fat Man: Looks to me like you were caught breaking into my warehouse. Who are the cops going to side with here?
Beanpie: Why exactly did you take my stuff to begin with?

Fat Man: A smart business move, you see you were running your mouth to my niece about the things you were inventing.
Beanpie: You mean Charlene?

Fat Man: Ding, ding, ding, and tell the man what he’s won.

Beanpie: I can’t believe she was in on this.

Fat Man: Well son, there are many things you are not aware of, and one of them is how much money I will be getting because of these items.

Shaun: I can’t believe someone would go through all of this trouble for these bootleg ideas.

Fat Man: In these times we need to cut costs where ever we can, I have found a way to cut all costs. Now it is time to say goodbye.

*Just then George who was guarding the door crashes through the window.

Scene 5: Lisa jumps through the window behind the guard and stands facing the Fat Man and Gary.

Lisa: Why am I not surprised to see you here?

Fat Man: And what have we done to be given the honor of being graced by the presence of the Black Raven?

Gary: I always thought the Black Raven was a man

Fat Man: She’s close enough.

Lisa: Thank you for such kind words. Who do we have here? The Flying Cricket (Gary), and you, the Iron Belly (Fat Man).

Fat Man: Such names are rarely used these days, but yes it is who you have said. Though your name is well known in the underground, I do not think you can even take the Flying Cricket, Get her.

---This is where you want to get your popcorn folks.---

*Gary jumps into the air with a flying back kick.

Lisa: Trim the hedges

*Lisa repels his attack with a swift roundhouse kick.

Lisa: Please, my Green Thumb style is too much for you or any of your cronies.

Fat Man: Well then, let us find out which is better, your Green Thumb style, or my Concrete Fist style.

Lisa: Let’s go.

*Fat Man throws a punch at Lisa.

Lisa: Prune the roses

*Lisa blocks the initial punch, but does not see his second punch. It connects and sends Lisa sailing across the room.

Fat Man: The Green Thumb style is very outdated, and in need of some new moves. I would be honored to teach you, here’s lesson one!

*Meanwhile Shaun manages to untie Beanpie and they quickly move out of the way.

Shaun: Are you alright man?

Beanpie: Yeah, I’m fine.

Shaun: Good because I am a little lost. When exactly did Lisa learn karate? Beanpie: Your guess is as good as mine mate, one thing I do know. We should move out of the way before we get done over by the Black Raven.

*Shaun sees Gary lying on the floor and notices that he is coming to. He picks up the two by four and hits him on the head.

Shaun: By the way, my name is Shaun.

*Lisa stands back up and draws a line on the ground with her left foot.

Lisa: Not bad old man, now are you ready for more?

Fat Man: Lesson two, how to respect those better than you!!!

*Fat Man throws a barrage of punches only to have them all blocked by Lisa’s left foot.

Lisa: I call that one, mowing the lawn. Now this is what will happen next, I am going to till the soil, plant the seeds, water the plants, and finally remove the weeds.
Fat Man: Wha….

*Lisa jumps into the air and chops Fat Man in the neck with both hands, the pokes him in the eyes, she follows that up with up with a quick sweep, and finishes it up with a mid air low blow. She stands over him and looks him in the eyes

Lisa: Now say it.

Fat Man: Never

*Lisa puts her foot on his throat

Lisa: Say it, or I will show you how I squash the ant.

Fat Man: Okay, your Kung-Fu is the best.

Scene 6: Beanpie, Shaun, and Lisa tie Fat Man and company up, go back to the truck and get Tailgate and Jamie and begin to load up Beanpie’s things.

Tailgate: So, what happened in here?
Beanpie: Too much to talk about now.
Jamie: How did they know we were coming?

Shaun: They had cameras, and saw Beanpie and Tailgate sneaking in last night.
Tailgate (to Beanpie): I told you to wear a mask.

Beanpie: A bit late for that now don’t you think?

*As they finish putting the things in the truck, Beanpie notices a push cart in the corner.

Beanpie: Hey Ice Juicy, could you help me put this into the truck?

Shaun: Hey Randolph, my name is Shaun, and why do you want that old cart?
Beanpie: This is the cart they stole from me in the first place. I can spruce it up and put it to good use.

Shaun: If you say so.

*They load everything up into the truck, and head back to Beanpie’s house.
