_{14. INT. KEN’S RESIDENCE. DAY}

_{KEN and LUCY in the FORMER’S BED ROOM as the LATTER is making up her FACE. The duo preparing to go to the BEACH.}

_KEN

Perhaps, we should just forget about going to the beach today and hang out somewhere within the neighborhood.

_LUCY

_{Not on your life darling, it’s the beach or no other place.}

_KEN

_{Then you hurry up, you’ve been in front of that mirror powdering your face for only God knows when.}

_LUCY

_{Calm down, darling; I’m almost through.}

_KEN

_{That’s what you’ve been saying, probably it will take you a decade to make –up.}

_LUCY

_{Ah-ah! Darling, I haven’t spent up to fifteen minutes doing this besides ken, you’re an artist, you should understand the importance of good make-up, it actually brings out the hidden beauty in a woman.}

_KEN

_{Let me tell you something about beauty which you certainly don’t know especially in women.}

_LUCY

_{Go ahead, I’m all ears.}

_KEN

_{Once a woman is beautiful, she doesn’t really need to spend eternity making her face look like a painted sepulcher before she can be admired.}

_LUCY

_{You’re not serious darling!}

_KEN

_{Well, that’s your opinion; when you’re done with painting your face like a masquerade you meet me in the car.}

…LUCY ignores him and keeps putting finishing touches on her face while he goes down stairs; straight to his carage where his fleet of cars park and after a brief hesitation on the one to use among the state of the art vehicles, he finally decides to ride on the amour plated Bentley.

_KEN

_{…About entering the car when he slightly looks up and sees LUCY.}

Finally you’re done, I thought it’s gonna take you all the time in this world to add extra beauty to your already beautiful face.

_LUCY

_{Stop clowning ken and let’s go.}

_15._{EXT. BEACH.DAY.}

At the EKO TOURIST BEACH, the two LOVERS sit at a PRIVATE TABLE, eating CHIKEN SUYA and sipping their DRINK merrily, under a tall TREE that provides shade for them against the fiery HOT SUN and barely few MINUTES of their stay there, a group of CULTURAL ENTERTAINERS arrive before them as they sing PRAISES to them.

_{The Duo dance as Ken sprays the CRISPY notes of NAIRA. After which they go close the BEACH to PLAY.}

_LUCY

You’re so fun to be with darling.

_KEN

_{You can say that again, honey.}

_LUCY

_{Honestly, darling, you’re really adding colour to my life, thanks a million!}

_KEN

_{You aren’t seen nothing, baby! In a forthnight. We’ll be in Paris for vacation, so I can really spoil you silly.}

_LUCY

_{Wow! Now come! Baby boy, come! Let me start right here to spoil you with the other side of ‘love’}

_{16.INT, KEN’S OFFICE.DAY.}

_{KEN rocks on his SWIVEL CHAIR as he smokes a stick of CIGARETTE and drinks a half full glass of BRANDY, pleasurably. The DOOR OPENS and RAY walks in.}

_RAY

_{What’s up man?}

_KEN

_{Cool bro! You’ve been really scarce like a rare commodity these days, what’s happening?}

_RAY

_{…Opens the refrigerator and takes a slender tall wine glass and pours some brandy for himself.}

_RAY

_{Your old man perhaps wants to kill me before my time with cumbersome work.}

_KEN

_{That’s why he pays you handsomely so you shouldn’t complain.}

_RAY

_{Of what purpose is money when you can’t enjoy it?}

_KEN

_{Well, you can always have fun in your office if you so desire, aren’t you the chief executive of the company?}

_RAY

_{I am man! But you know quite well that one can’t smoke and drink let alone screw a chick in that office. It’s not like yours man!}

_KEN

_{So, who’s gonna prevent you from doing all that? You’re the boss there.}

_RAY

_{Don’t forget that your old man is still the chairman of the firm.}

_KEN

_{Yea! I know but he’s not an executive chairman, he seldom comes there.}

_RAY

_{You don’t understand Ken, he pops in once in a while and hell is gonna let loose if he comes around and finds me screwing some chick or smoking and drinking in the office.}

_KEN

_{Don’t even think of it bro! If it happens, you’re fired instantly.}

_RAY

_{You see what I mean, it’s just work, work and work even on weekends; I wish I had time like you.}

_KEN

_{Ray, my man, I must tell you, I had fun this last weekend; I had Lucy to myself all through. Mm!}

_RAY

_{Lucy, Lucy! I don’t seem to remember her.}

_KEN

_{The light complexioned lady with massive behind, have you forgotten her?}

_RAY

_{Wow! Holy Moses! You mean, you’ve screwed that pretty babe?}
