KEN
Sweetie! Sweetie! Sweetie pie! I’m home! Sweetie, why are you crying? What’s wrong? Please tell me what the matter is, it really hurts me to see you this way.
LUCY
It’s your mum.
KEN
My mum? What did she do to you?
LUCY
Your mum came in here in the afternoon and I respectfully greeted her instead of her responding cheerfully to my greeting first, she began to ask me, who I was…
KEN
Didn’t you tell her that you’re my fiancée?
LUCY
I did but instead of accepting me as your wife to be, she began to rain abuses on me that I was nothing short of a gold digger, who’s only interested in sucking you dry; I pleaded with her to stop calling me names that I wasn’t what she thought about me, besides I truly love you, the next thing she did was to slap me vigorously on my cheeks repeatedly, she beat me up, Ken, you mum, I …
KEN
Sweetie, it’s all right, please calm down, are you sure my mum did all what you told me to you?
LUCY
Darling, you mean you don’t believe me?
KEN
Sweetie I believe you, I do.
LUCY
Where are you going darling?
KEN
Going to see her and give her a piece of my mind.
LUCY
Darling, please don’t, you really don’t have to do that.

CHIEF FIBERISIMA
And what’s the meaning of that?
KEN
Didn’t mum tell you what she came to my house to do, earlier in the morning?
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Is that enough reason for you to walk into your family home without at least sitting down?
KEN
Dad, I’m not going to sit down till mum explains to me why she had to come to my house and violently beat up my fiancée.
MRS. FIBERISIMA
Ken! You call that manner less bitch your fiancée?
KEN
I don’t care what you call her, mum; all I want to know is the reason for your callous action?
MRS. FIBERISIMA
All right, if you care to know…
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
Wait a minute woman; now listen, ken, if you don’t want to sit down and talk to us like a gentle man, you had better leave right now because I don’t have the patience for this your insolence.
KEN
Are you asking me out of your house, dad?
CHIEF FIBERISIMA
If you’re not going to adhere to my instruction then you’ll leave me with no choice other than to ask you to leave, period!
KEN
Since you’ve decided not to handle this matter objectively its better I leave.
MRS. FIBERISIMA
My son, why don’t you sit down and listen to us?
FIBERISIMA
Let him go!
MRS. FIBERISIMA
Please come back son, please.
KEN
