6. EXT. NBA’S PREMISES. DAY

NGOZI and RITA discussing as they lean on the former’s RANGE ROVER SPORT on the premises of NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION while waiting to attend the scheduled BARRISTER’S MEETING and DAN drives in, in his rickety. VOLVO 244

DAN

Hi ladies!

 NGOZI AND RITA

Hi Dan!

 DAN

You ladies are already here?

 NGOZI

You know its Friday, traffic usually builds up after noon so it’s always better to leave for one’s destination early enough.

 DAN

That’s correct, all right ladies, let me park and get ready for the meeting.

 NGOZI

See you in the conference hall.

 DAN

Sure! See you ladies later.

 RITA

Ha! Ha! Ha!

 NGOZI

What’s amusing you?

 RITA

Please, don’t pretend you didn’t notice his funny looking car.

 NGOZI

Well, that’s what he can afford for now. Must everyone drive a Porsche like you?

 RITA

Ngozi, here’s your machine and I ride in an American customized Porsche yet Dan and we attended the same university and law school. It’s ridiculous.

 NGOZI

Honestly, Rita is very pathetic that a brilliant lawyer like Dan, who came out with first class honours both in the university and at the law school and almost a decade at the bar is still struggling with a law firm that hardly pays him a reasonable salary monthly.

 RITA

It really beats my imagination, you know.

 NGOZI

Anyway, my dear, a case like his, I believe can only be divinely solved not really by physical strength or intellect… it’s almost time, let’s go into the hall.

 

 7. INT. CRAZY CREATIVE.DAY.

Lucy sits at the RECEPTION waiting to see KEN as she chews GUM carelessly

 CAROL

Please, Madam, once again you say your name is?

 LUCY

Are you deaf? Didn’t I tell you earlier that I’m LUCY and I’m here to see your boss?

 CAROL

Hello! One Miss LUCY is here to see the MD.

 KEN

Let her in immediately.

 CAROL

All right. You can go in now, the first door by your right.

 

 8. INT. KEN’S OFFICE DAY.

KEN busy working with his LAPTOP as LUCY comes in. He rises to welcome her with a cheerful SMILE.

 KEN

Hi pretty! What a pleasant surprise! Pretty, what’s actually the matter? Why is your beautiful face not cheerful? Come! Come!

 LUCY

Take your hands off me!

 KEN

Come on, sweetie! What’s eating you up?

 LUCY

You claim, you love me, made me so many promises to me the very first day, you set your eyes on me but since then you couldn’t even call to find out how I’m faring, is that how you express you own affection?

 KEN

Come on, pretty! It’s not deliberate; I have been quite busy lately.

 LUCY

Too busy to call and enquire how my interview went?

 KEN

I’m sorry dear, please forgive me. So tell me, how did the interview go?

 LUCY

Well, if you care to know, I didn’t make it, no thanks to you! Ken, your dad as I got to find out later is the chairman of that bank yet you couldn’t even tell him to put in a word for me, is it fair?

 KEN

Truly, baby, I’m sorry, it actually escaped my memory to inform the old man about you but not to worry, sweetie, I will certainly make it up to you, okay.

LUCY

 How do you intend to do that?

 KEN

Don’t forget that the old man is equally the chairman of the nation’s largest oil corporation so I can easily talk to him to fix you there, all right.

 LUCY

Do you really mean it, Ken?

 KEN

Absolutely! Anything that will make you happy, that’s what I’ll do.

 LUCY

Oh! Thanks a lot darling, you’re so wonderful!

 KEN

Sure baby! I’m a wonderful dude!

 LUCY

Why don’t you further show me how wonderful, you can be by taking me to a cozy Chinese restaurant for lunch?

 

KEN

Right now?

 

LUCY

Now, of course!

 KEN

All right damsel, your wish is my command, shall we?

 LUCY

Sure!

 

 9. INT. KEN’S RESIDENCE.DAY.

In the LIVING ROOM, LUCY clad in a SEXY FLOWERED NIGHT GOWN folding her two smooth legs in the COUCH as she sips a GLASSFUL OF IRISH CREAM and smoking almost simultaneously. Regularly flipping through the CHANNELS as the DOOR BELL rings.

 LUCY

Obot! Obot! Obot!

 OBOT

Ma!

 LUCY

Do you have problems with your ears?

 OBOT

I don’t understand ma.

 LUCY

Are you deaf?

 

OBOT

No ma.

 LUCY

My friend, will you go and see who’s at the door since you’re deaf to a point that you couldn’t hear the door bell ringing.

 OBOT

Ah! Mummy! Good afternoon ma.

 MRS. FIBERISIMA

Good afternoon my daughter; how’re you?

 LUCY

Obot, who’s there with you?

 OBOT

Madam is oga’s mother.

 

MRS. FIBERISIMA

Obot, who’s that?

 OBOT

Mummy is oga’s guest.

 MRS. FIBERISIMA

One of his numerous girl friends I presume? Who’re you young lady?

 LUCY

I should be the one directing that question to you; you walk into my fiancé’s house without any courtesy of greeting and suddenly, you begin to ask me silly question, who the hell do you think you’re?

 MRS. FIBERISIMA

Young lady, it might interest you to know that I’m Ken’s mother, are you satisfied now?

 LUCY

So freaking what!

 OBOT

Ah-ah! Auntie, she’s…

 

LUCY

Will you shut your mouth right now and run to the kitchen where you belong before I descend on you.

 MRS. FIBERISIMA

Obot, don’t move an inch, remain where you are, okay.

 LUCY

Now listen…

 …She barely finishes her statement and Mrs. Fiberisima slaps her on the right ear which brings different shades and sizes of stars on her face as she slumps into the couch behind her.

 MRS. FIBERISIMA

For heaven’s sake! Obot! Leave me alone let me show her what an elderly woman can do to a manner less punk of a young lady as she is.

 OBOT

Mummy, please, it’s all right, I beg of you in God’s name to calm down.

 LUCY

So, you have the temerity to lay your filthy hand on me, right?

 MRS. FIBERISIMA

And I intend to do it over and over again, you silly brat!

 LUCY

You wouldn’t dare again!

 MRS. FIBERISIMA

Just watch me.

 OBOT

Mummy, please, it’s okay, auntie, please go into the room.

 MRS. FIBERISIMA

Oh! You’re running away, why don’t you come and fight me? Hopeless thing! Gold digger! My son will never marry you, he’s only using you and when he’s done with you, he will dump you like a piece of shit you are! Nonsense!

…to be continued.
