Parabasis: August Wilson:
And many of Wilson's plays contain a scene that Anne and I like to call the "I Got What You Need" scene. Joe Turner actually has three of them. The scene goes like this:
Young Black Man: I got what you need.
Young Black Woman: You think you got what I need?
YBM: Yes. I got what you need. A woman needs X, Y and Z. I got those things. You want to come away with/set up with me?
YBW: You think you got what I need. You don't know what i need.
This scene generally ends with the YBM and the YBW ending up together.
