The Duo is talking in their LIVING ROOM as the FORMER prepares to leave for WORK.

 COLLINS

Tax collector!

 JEFF

Bed warmer!

 COLLINS

You’re not serious, my friend.

 JEFF

Simply because, I called you a name that suits you.

 COLLINS

You’re entitled to your stupid opinion.

 COLLINS

You see, what I’m talking about, this tout job you’ve been doing at the bus park is gradually affecting your mentality.

 JEFF

At least it’s better than sleeping with other men’s fiancées but wait a minute, Collins, are you sure, you’re not insane?

 COLLINS

My friend, I have my faculties intact so what the hell do you mean by that?

 JEFF

Anyway, since you say, you’re all right, it’s okay; forget about it; by the way, why are you not dressed for work yet?

 COLLINS

Lucy is coming over here to spend some days with me so I have to feign sickness at the studio to get some days off to be with her.

 JEFF

You see exactly what I mean.

 COLLINS

Your statements don’t always make sense though I’m not surprised because the park has reduced a 2:1 graduate like you into a tout.

 JEFF

Collins, you’re sick not just a mere headache or malaria fever but sick in the head! Your brain needs to be tested before you become a full blown psycho. How could you be sleeping with your boss’s girl friend? I know you’re crazy but never thought you would be so stupid to do such a silly thing.

 COLLINS

It’s not my fault, she says, she likes me, so I can’t help it.

 JEFF

O ’boy, I pit you!

 

COLLINS

Go! My friend flee!

 

 23. EXT. BUS PARK. DAY.

JEFF collecting the usual fare from the TRANSPORTERS as LUCY comes and distracts him with QUESTION he finds OFFENSIVE.

 

JEFF

O’ boy, take and give me hundred naira.

 BUS DRIVER

 JEFF

 JEFF

 BUS DRIVER

 JEFF

Abegi carry go.

 LUCY

Jeff is your friend at home?

 JEFF

I’m sure you have his phone number, why don’t you call him.

 LUCY

Don’t be stupid my friend, I’m asking you a question.

 

JEFF

And I have answered you Queen of England!

 LUCY

Look at this motor park tout, refusing to answer me appropriately.

 

JEFF

It’s better to earn a decent living in a bus park than to be a disgusted prostitute.

 LUCY

What did you just say?

 JEFF

Exactly what you heard.

 LUCY

You fool! So you have the guts to insult me.

 DUROJAIYE

Abegi, oga Jeff, give me ticket.

 JEFF

Correct bros! Where you dey load?

 DUROJAIYE

Na oshodi oke now, I never change route.

 JEFF

Bros take! Give me your hundred bucks sharp-sharp.

 DUROJAIYE

Madam, I beg commot for road, make I give am money now.

 JEFF

No mind am jare! Till I call boys make them commot am for here.

 LUCY

No problem, I will leave but I will surely deal with you.

 JEFF

You will do nothing, absolutely nothing.

 LUCY

Just watch and see!

…to be continued.
