Save A Life (2022) Movie Script
1
I'm just beginning my story
Finding what life has for me
Divine intervention
pulls my attention
When I'm forgetting my glory
I'm living in my truth now
Being all I am out loud
With the pen in my hand
I can write my way out
So I turn the page
Wake up feeling
grateful for another day
I decide who, where, what's
going to fill my space
My love, my light, my shine
It has to lead the way
Lead the way
Because it's my
life, my life
I'm saving my life
I can't take you seriously.
I mean, it's really
not that funny.
You don't have a good
sense of humor, that's all.
You sure your mom's
not coming home?
No, she got three clients today,
so we should be
good for a while.
Okay.
You got too many clothes on.
You scared the shit out of me.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh my God, that's
what your ass get,
girl you got the music
bumping all loud,

Anybody could have
walked in on your ass.
Maybe I did not ain't
nobody walking up in my house.
What, what is all this?
Girl, what it look like?
What are we celebrating?
Oh my God you're divorce.
Okay, is this a cause
for a celebration?
Is it not?
Girl, are you having
regrets already?
No.
Excuse me, I can't hear you.
No, I'm not having any regrets.
All right, so then we celebrate.
These, meet me at the couch.
Oh my goodness, Niecy

Ooh the dip.
Yes.
See, that's what suck
up all the carbs.

That's the one,
that shit was popping.
Yes.
I go to the kids
and say popping.
Girl, you are a homiest.
What's wrong?
Nothing's wrong.
I'm not ready to go that far.
You mad?
Nah, I'm cool.
You look like it.
You not ready, you not ready.
No biggie.
I'm not saying it's
never going to happen,
but we ain't even got no title.
You need a title.
Is that what this is?
You think I'm one of them girls
that let any nigga hit?
Well I'm not, I don't
get down like that.
Shut up.
You're going to always
trying to jump.
I'm just saying.
To my best friend in
the whole wide world.
A woman who is loyal,
a woman who is true and a
woman who knows her worth.
So today we celebrate
a new chapter for you.
No looking back.
No looking back.
All right.
Finally bitch.
What?
You want to say the
whole damn soliloquy.
I'm thirsty as hell.
Whatever.
Good.
Is good.
Oh man.
You know, I stayed in that
marriage way too long.
Why did you stay?
Honestly, don't
take this wrong way.
I didn't want to be you.
Wait, what does that mean?
I didn't want to be alone.
Listen, I might have felt
lonely every once in a while,
but I wasn't alone.
I had my baby and I had you.
Okay.
And after what
happened to his dad,
I just focused all my
energies on my baby.
And between that
work and school,
there really wasn't
time for anything else.
Yeah, but didn't you want love?
You know, someone to
hold you, feel you?
Well, I had love.
You know what I mean?
After died.
There really
wasn't time for that.
And you know me,
there was never
any shortage of men
that will hold me when
I wanted to be held,
and when I want to be bothered,
I could touch myself.
That's how your ass
got carpal tunnel.
Shut up no, that is
because all that typing
I was doing at work, thank you.
Okay, yeah sure.
No, but seriously,
my child was my
number one priority
and it just didn't feel right
bringing another
man house, you know?
Okay, slow down girl.
What?
You know you a lightweight.
Girl, we are
celebrating, look come on.
It's too much.
Come on.
Niecy, no.
Let's go.
Niecy, that's good
that's enough.
That is enough.
Okay, what girl, we
are single and free.
So let's do it single and free.
And free,
Single and free,
single and free.
Pop it single and free.
Okay, okay.
Hold on now, girl
these knees don't work
like they used too.
Where are you going?
What you mean where I'm going?
I'm going to my last class.
I don't get no kiss.
I didn't think you wanted one,
because you've been
real quiet ever since.
Now that you're done thinking
for me, I have a question.
They got this whole huge
event at the end of the year,
I don't really see
what the big deal is,
but apparently you
get all dressed up,
rent limousines and tuxes
and shit, and take a date.
So your parents can go crazy.
Invite the whole family,
the neighborhood to
come take pictures.
I wasn't even going to go.
But I know how much you
like to get dressed up.
So What's up, trying to go?
It's about damn time
you asked me to prom,
thought I was going
to have to take
one of your little homeboy.
Haha, you funny.
Oh, our colors
are black and white.
Forget a limo. I want
a black.
Leather interior,
all black everything.
Yeah, all right.
I'm not playing Kordell.
I am not looking forward
to getting back out there.
I don't want to be
in a club at the bar,
trolling for dates, what?
That's for teeny babars.
Oh my God, well girl
even though you're right.
We used to be in the club.
I know, till they
closed the doors down,
they got to kick our asses out.
Oh, girl we was bad.
We was bad shit crazy back then.
I know.
Remember when we met
those dudes at the club
and we let them talk us into
taking us home with them.
Oh my God, well we was fine,
we was doing fine into
that big dude said,
he was like, wait,
what did he say?
"You so cute, I'm going
to handcuff you to the bed."
Your face, oh girl
you was so scared.
I was praying like, Lord.
If you get us out of this one.
Yes, Jesus.
Never ever happen
again ever, ever.
Ever, ever.
Ever ever.
We had to fight
our way out of there,
and that's when I started
carrying that gun.
Because I was like,
we are never getting
caught up like that again.
Yeah, and we didn't, we did not.
Especially with you
carrying Jody around.
Hmm wait, why I name it Jody?
God your so drunk, you
don't never remember nothing.
Is because when I was
telling you about that dude
Jody Stevens, who barely got
his pants down before he came.
Oh.
He shot me dead, in the eye.
I named my gun after that
speed and the accuracy.
Where she at?
Who that?
Kordell baby, what
was you doing here?
Can't drive like this,
one, two, three.
Okay, okay.
Oh my baby.
Oh, he loves me girl.
Is just, what would
I do without you?
Come on.
Oh no, I'm missing something.
I'm missing, oh, bye bitch.
Be quiet ma.
Hey, don't tell me to
be quiet, I'm your mama.
You all too old for this.
We are, but that's okay.
Yes.
Okay.
Oh, I'm going to get my
shoes from you tomorrow girl.
Okay.
Single and free.
Yes, single and
free, single and free.
Single and free,
single and free.
Single and free,
single and free.
Kordell, why'd you
let me over sleep?
Don't come down
here fussing at me,
because you got a hang over.
I ain't got no damn hangover.
Okay, if you say so.
Okay, I got you.
And thank you for
coming to get me
last night, this morning.
Oh, you're welcome,
you're welcome.
I love hearing all
about your night
and your little drunk tirade.
What'd I say.
You don't remember.
All right.
So What did you decide to do
about your teacher Ms. Leonard?
I already talked to her
about changing my grade.
She wants me to do
some extracurricular
study with her before practice.
Okay.
You get it extra,
extracurricular activity.
Boy please
You feel me, read all about it.
I think she wants
me, I'm serious.
The way she be looking
at me, I can tell.
Nigga you better save a life.
What you mean?
I mean don't get
that lady killed.
You're crazy, you're crazy.
Look if it can help my grade,
do you want me to do it?
Don't play with me like
that, that woman is my age.
And if I find out that
she's fucking around
with my 17 year old son,
I'm going to kill
her, plain and simple.
So don't even do it.
Because then you'll be
responsible for her death,
and for me in jail.
All right.
I'm not going to jail.
All right, all right.
I'm just playing,
I'm just playing.
Got me all worked up.
It's too easy.
So ma, that woman is a happily
married woman with kids,
she not thinking about me.
Better not be.
I don't know why you
play with me like that.
I got to go, is too much fun.
Okay oh, are you picking
my car up from Savvy's?
Sure I can do that.
Yeah, I'll Uber over there.
I'll get one of my
boys to drive me.
You can do it after
football practice.
I am not going nowhere today.
I bet you not, but I think
I'm going to go this morning,
so don't worry about it.
Whatever, I know you just
want to be flexing in my car.
See you later.
All right, bye baby.
Bye, bye.
Holy shit.
Morning, Kordell.
Morning.
How's your mom doing.
A little hungover,
but she won't admit it.
You all was here drinking like
some teenagers or something.
No, we were in here
drinking like some adults.
The only ones that should
be drinking young man.
You alright?
You seem a little hungover too.
No, I'm fine.
Me and your mom's just
celebrating my divorce that's all,
grown folk stuff.
I know, I'm happy for you.
You deserve better than,
you deserve a good man.
What do you know about it?
Someone who will
treat you like a queen.
What are you doing?
Someone young and
fresh, like he had.
Stay out of of my
business Kordell.
I'm trying to make you
my business, Ms. Savvy.
Don't call me that,
you need to leave.
You don't want me to leave,
you want me touching
it you, like this.
Kissing you.
Your mom will kill me.
Stop, please stop.
Oh damn, really Kordell.
Just as I thought, you
don't want me to leave,
you're super horny.
Fuck.
Shit.
If your mom finds out.
I'm a dead bitch.
She won't find out.
Where were you?
Hey mama.
Your coach called said you
didn't make it to practice.
Yeah, yeah, I had a
headache at school all day
and I didn't want to go to
practice and make it worse.
Lies, your ass wasn't at
school all day today either.
I called Savvy to find out
what time you picked up my car
and she didn't answer the phone.
So where were you Kordell
and don't lie to me?
Okay mom, look,
I've been feeling a
little overwhelmed,
with everything mom,
school, football
I mean trying to figure out
where I want to go to school
versus where everybody
wants me to play.
I need a break, this one day.
I know.
I know that this is a lot on you
and this is the first time
that you've had this much
pressure, I get that.
But you still cannot
just skip school all day
and say the hell with all
your responsibilities.
Because if I did that shit,
we wouldn't have food to eat
or a roof over our heads.
I know ma, you're
right, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, mom.
Um, you still didn't
answer my question.
Where were you?
Oh, Just some girl house.
Oh, I take it her
parents weren't home.
Please tell me
you used a condom,
because I am not ready to
be a grandmother right now.
Boy.
I'm just playing, of course.
Of course I used a condom.
Can I go now, please?
Nigga was putting it work today.
Shut the hell up,
nobody want to hear about
your little sexcapade
with some groupie hoe.
Now why she got to be a hoe.
Because I said so.
Oh, and your is on punishment
until further notice.
Baby, baby Savannah's
outside, tell her to come in.
Where you all going.
To them mall.
Hey, ma said come in.
You know she going
to be a minute.
She going to be a while.
No, I'm cool, tell her
I'll just wait out here.
Girl, get in here I'm
still getting dressed
and come talk to your nephew.
Yeah, come talk to me.
Boy, get out of way.
Boy stop, are you stupid?
My bad, I miss those lips.
What the fuck is this?
Somebody say something,
why are you kissing my son?
Niecy, I'm sorry I didn't mean.
You didn't mean to what?
When he came to get
your car the other day.
What?
I told him to leave.
What?
Mom, don't, mama no,
Mama, don't.
I did this.
You did what?
Niecy I tried to stop him.
Stop him, it should
have never even started.
Mom listen, it was on me.
It's not her fault.
How is it not her fault?
You are a child Kordell,
you're my child.
And why are you telling
your child my business?
You told him intimate
details about my marriage.
About Larry getting
that girl pregnant.
You know how painful the
situation this has been for me
and very damaging to my ego.
So when he started whispering
in my ear and me,
I don't even know what happened.
So you saying it's my fault
that you fucked my child.
Stop calling me a child.
Who the fuck you think
you talking to like that
Kordell?
Niecy stop he's too old for
you to be trying to whoop him.
Uh-uh, see you all got
me all the way fucked up.
Niecy, I'm sorry.
I told you, I'm not like you.
I don't do well by myself and
it shouldn't have happened.
I don't even know how I gave in.
Because you a weak bitch.
Niecy, please forgive me.
It shouldn't have happened.
No, it shouldn't have happened.
Kordell is like a nephew
to you, that is my baby.
I'm not your baby,
I'm a grown man.
How can you not
understand that, I mean,
you talk to me about all the
girls I'm with all the time
and it's always been cool.
But now, now I'm your baby.
I'm not your baby,
when I got a pick
your drunk ass up
because you are
too drunk to drive.
You can't get home.
I certainly wasn't your baby,
when you sat me down
and gave me the,
you're the man of
the house now speech.
You treat me like I'm grown.
If you say one more
disrespectful ass thing
out of your mouth,
you will join your father
sooner than you thought.
I just can't believe
that you all are playing
in my face right now.
Please understand,
Niecy I was weak.
It's been such a long
time since anybody
gave me any kind of
attention or touched me.
I was hung over and I wasn't
thinking clearly Niecy,
I'm sorry, I was wrong.
I made a mistake, I know that.
And I understand how you
must be feeling right now.
No, no, you can't
understand how I'm feeling.
Your selfish could never
understand how I'm feeling Savvy.
Because it's always an
episode of the Savvy show.
Whatever Savvy wants Savvy gets.
It wasn't like you wasn't known
to be a hoe back in the day.
Mom.
What?
It's true and I should
know better than anyone.
Okay, that's the anger talking,
so I'm going to let that slide,
but you got one more time,
told you I was sorry.
Mom, she's the closest
person in the world to you.
You have to forgive her.
You, you better hope
that I forgive your ass.
Savanna get out of my house.
What is she doing?
Where is she going?
I said, get the hell out.
Mom, this is crazy.
I told you, I told you
to just save a life,
but your ass didn't listen.
So you going to pull Jody on me.
You really going to fuck my son?
Yeah, I did.
And he still got the
taste of me on his lips.
Mama.
Niecy look at what you just did.
Fuck, this is not what I
meant by save a life, shit.
Now Kordell, it's all right.
It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay, mama's here.
Oh my God, shit.
I'm not selfish
I be trying to give
you everything you want
And you know
I'm not helpless
Every time I leave you
act like you don't know
Selfish, selfish,
selfish, selfish
Selfish, selfish,

Selfish, selfish,
selfish, selfish
Selfish, selfish,

because you got a hang over.
I ain't got no damn hangover.
Okay, if you say so.
Okay, I got you.
And thank you for

Oh, you're welcome,

What'd I say.
You don't remember.

So What did you decide to do
about your teacher Ms. Leonard?

about changing my grade.
She wants me to do

study with her before practice.
Okay.

that lady killed.
You're crazy, you're crazy.
Look if it can help my grade,
do you want me to do it?
Don't play with me like
that, that woman is my age.
And if I find out that
she's fucking around
with my 17 year old son,
I'm going to kill
her, plain and simple.
So don't even do it.
Because then you'll be
responsible for her death,
and for me in jail.
All right.
I'm not going to jail.
All right, all right.
I'm just playing,

Got me all worked up.
It's too easy.
So ma, that woman is a happily
married woman with kids,
she not thinking about me.
Better not be.
I don't know why you
play with me like that.
I got to go, is too much fun.
Okay oh, are you picking
my car up from Savvy's?
Sure I can do that.
Yeah, I'll Uber over there.
I'll get one of my
boys to drive me.
You can do it after
football practice.
I am not going nowhere today.
I bet you not, but I think
I'm going to go this morning,
so don't worry about it.
Whatever, I know you just
want to be flexing in my car.
See you later.
All right, bye baby.
Bye, bye.
Holy shit.
Morning, Kordell.
Morning.
How's your mom doing.
A little hungover,
but she won't admit it.
You all was here drinking like
some teenagers or something.
No, we were in here
drinking like some adults.
The only ones that should
be drinking young man.
You alright?
You seem a little hungover too.
No, I'm fine.
Me and your mom's just
celebrating my divorce that's all,
grown folk stuff.
I know, I'm happy for you.
You deserve better than,
you deserve a good man.
What do you know about it?
Someone who will
treat you like a queen.
What are you doing?
Someone young and
fresh, like he had.
Stay out of of my
business Kordell.
I'm trying to make you
my business, Ms. Savvy.
Don't call me that,
you need to leave.
You don't want me to leave,
you want me touching
it you, like this.
Kissing you.
Your mom will kill me.
Stop, please stop.
Oh damn, really Kordell.
Just as I thought, you
don't want me to leave,
you're super horny.
Fuck.
Shit.
If your mom finds out.
I'm a dead bitch.
She won't find out.
Where were you?
Hey mama.
Your coach called said you
didn't make it to practice.
Yeah, yeah, I had a
headache at school all day
and I didn't want to go to
practice and make it worse.
Lies, your ass wasn't at
school all day today either.
I called Savvy to find out
what time you picked up my car
and she didn't answer the phone.
So where were you Kordell
and don't lie to me?
Okay mom, look,
I've been feeling a
little overwhelmed,
with everything mom,
school, football
I mean trying to figure out
where I want to go to school
versus where everybody
wants me to play.
I need a break, this one day.
I know.
I know that this is a lot on you
and this is the first time
that you've had this much
pressure, I get that.
But you still cannot
just skip school all day
and say the hell with all
your responsibilities.
Because if I did that shit,
we wouldn't have food to eat
or a roof over our heads.
I know ma, you're
right, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, mom.
Um, you still didn't
answer my question.
Where were you?
Oh, Just some girl house.
Oh, I take it her
parents weren't home.
Please tell me
you used a condom,
because I am not ready to
be a grandmother right now.
Boy.
I'm just playing, of course.
Of course I used a condom.
Can I go now, please?
Nigga was putting it work today.
Shut the hell up,
nobody want to hear about
your little sexcapade
with some groupie hoe.
Now why she got to be a hoe.
Because I said so.
Oh, and your is on punishment
until further notice.
Baby, baby Savannah's
outside, tell her to come in.
Where you all going.
To them mall.
Hey, ma said come in.
You know she going
to be a minute.
She going to be a while.
No, I'm cool, tell her
I'll just wait out here.
Girl, get in here I'm
still getting dressed
and come talk to your nephew.
Yeah, come talk to me.
Boy, get out of way.
Boy stop, are you stupid?
My bad, I miss those lips.
What the fuck is this?
Somebody say something,
why are you kissing my son?
Niecy, I'm sorry I didn't mean.
You didn't mean to what?
When he came to get
your car the other day.
What?
I told him to leave.
What?
Mom, don't, mama no,
Mama, don't.
I did this.
You did what?
Niecy I tried to stop him.
Stop him, it should
have never even started.
Mom listen, it was on me.
It's not her fault.
How is it not her fault?
You are a child Kordell,
you're my child.
And why are you telling
your child my business?
You told him intimate
details about my marriage.
About Larry getting
that girl pregnant.
You know how painful the
situation this has been for me
and very damaging to my ego.
So when he started whispering
in my ear and me,
I don't even know what happened.
So you saying it's my fault
that you fucked my child.
Stop calling me a child.
Who the fuck you think
you talking to like that
Kordell?
Niecy stop he's too old for
you to be trying to whoop him.
Uh-uh, see you all got
me all the way fucked up.
Niecy, I'm sorry.
I told you, I'm not like you.
I don't do well by myself and
it shouldn't have happened.
I don't even know how I gave in.
Because you a weak bitch.
Niecy, please forgive me.
It shouldn't have happened.
No, it shouldn't have happened.
Kordell is like a nephew
to you, that is my baby.
I'm not your baby,
I'm a grown man.
How can you not
understand that, I mean,
you talk to me about all the
girls I'm with all the time
and it's always been cool.
But now, now I'm your baby.
I'm not your baby,
when I got a pick
your drunk ass up
because you are
too drunk to drive.
You can't get home.
I certainly wasn't your baby,
when you sat me down
and gave me the,
you're the man of
the house now speech.
You treat me like I'm grown.
If you say one more
disrespectful ass thing
out of your mouth,
you will join your father
sooner than you thought.
I just can't believe
that you all are playing
in my face right now.
Please understand,
Niecy I was weak.
It's been such a long
time since anybody
gave me any kind of
attention or touched me.
I was hung over and I wasn't
thinking clearly Niecy,
I'm sorry, I was wrong.
I made a mistake, I know that.
And I understand how you
must be feeling right now.
No, no, you can't
understand how I'm feeling.
Your selfish could never
understand how I'm feeling Savvy.
Because it's always an
episode of the Savvy show.
Whatever Savvy wants Savvy gets.
It wasn't like you wasn't known
to be a hoe back in the day.
Mom.
What?
It's true and I should
know better than anyone.
Okay, that's the anger talking,
so I'm going to let that slide,
but you got one more time,
told you I was sorry.
Mom, she's the closest
person in the world to you.
You have to forgive her.
You, you better hope
that I forgive your ass.
Savanna get out of my house.
What is she doing?
Where is she going?
I said, get the hell out.
Mom, this is crazy.
I told you, I told you
to just save a life,
but your ass didn't listen.
So you going to pull Jody on me.
You really going to fuck my son?
Yeah, I did.
And he still got the
taste of me on his lips.
Mama.
Niecy look at what you just did.
Fuck, this is not what I
meant by save a life, shit.
Now Kordell, it's all right.
It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay, mama's here.
Oh my God, shit.
I'm not selfish
I be trying to give
you everything you want
And you know
I'm not helpless
Every time I leave you
act like you don't know
Selfish, selfish,
selfish, selfish
Selfish, selfish,
selfish, selfish
Selfish, selfish,
selfish, selfish
Selfish, selfish,
selfish, selfish.
I'm just beginning my story
Finding what life has for me
Divine intervention
pulls my attention
When I'm forgetting my glory
I'm living in my truth now
Being all I am out loud
With the pen in my hand
I can't write my way out
So I turn the page
Wake up feeling
grateful for another day
I decide who and what's
going to feel my space
My love my light my shine
It has to lead the
way, lead the way
Because it's,
my life, my life
I'm saving my life, my life
My life, I'm saving my life
Doing new things,
changing my ways
Spreading my wings,
it's a new phase
My life, my life
I'm saving my life
When it comes down to it
What you're going to choose?
Look around so it's
too much to lose
My greatness is
waiting for me to bloom
Motivation for me to use
If I get out my mind
Reframe my thoughts
Vision align, vision
to
Remind me of my purpose
Breaking my curses
with these verses
So I turn the page
Turn the page
Wake up feeling
grateful for another day
I decide who and
what's going to
Feel my space
My love, my light, my shine
It has to lead the way
Lead the way, because it's
My life, my life
I'm saving my life
My life, my life,
I'm saving my life
Doing new things,
changing my ways
Spreading my wings
It's a new phase
My life, my life
I'm saving my life
My life
My life
My life
My life my life my
life, I'm saving my life
My life, my life,
I'm saving my life
Doing new things,
changing my ways
Spreading my wings,
it's a new phase
My life, my life,
I'm saving my life
