 33. INT. RAY’S OFFICE.DAY.

Ray rocking slowly in his SWIVEL CHAIR and appearing very dejected as KEN comes in to see him.

 KEN

What’s up man? Why haven’t you been taking my calls?

 RAY

My guy, you wouldn’t understand.

 KEN

What do you mean by that? I have been waiting for you in my office for over four hours to bring me my company’s audit report as you promised earlier.

 RAY

I’m sorry about that.

 KEN

Tell me Ray, what’s eating you up?

 RAY

You know my fiancée is pursuing her master’s degree in Business Administration at University of Pennsylvania.

 KEN

Yea, yea! I’m aware, what about her?

 RAY

The school authority is demanding that she pays off her fees else she wouldn’t be allowed to write her final exam and it’s just barely a week from today. I’m so confused on what to do.

 KEN

So how much is the amount?

 RAY

The total fee is $85, 000 but I’ve been able to pay $40, 000 out of it. Honestly, ken, I’m just tired of life, I feel like committing suicide, where do I get that kind of money from now.

 KEN

Calm down, just take it easy.

 RAY

Ken, you don’t seem to understand my predicament here, I love that girl and I don’t want to lose her to another man because I can’t pay her school fees. God! What the hell do I do now?

 KEN

It’s all right. First thing tomorrow morning, come and pick up a check for $45, 000 in my office, it’s a bit late now for banking transactions.

 RAY

You mean, you want to loan me that much?

 KEN

I’m not asking you to pay back; I hate to see my friends in difficulties when I can really be of help to them so use the money and sort her fees out. I got to leave now but please don’t forget to bring the report along while coming tomorrow.

RAY

Ken! Ken! Please wait…

 

 34. EXT. SHOPPING MALL.DAY.

After WORK, NGOZI stops by at a SHOPPING MALL to do some little house hold SHOPPING, she meets KEN there unexpectedly.

 

NGOZI

…Comes out of the mall with a bag and about to enter her car and ken appears from her back and covers her eyes with his two palms.

 

For God’s sake! Who is this?

 KEN

One of your numerous boyfriends!

 NGOZI

Naughty you! You’re never serious ken!

 KEN

No I’m not; if I were, I would be cooling off my heels in the hospital.

 NGOZI

Ken, please I’m not ready to crack my ribs with your hilarious jokes now. By the way, what are you doing here?

 KEN

Well, came to do some household shopping like you.

 NGOZI

Are you sure? Are you really sure that you didn’t come to see a girl around here because I know you.

 KEN

Come off it honey! Since you don’t believe me, follow me in there.

 NGOZI

I believe you, just go and do your shopping I’m already leaving.

 

KEN

All right, see you later.

 

NGOZI

Ken! Please one minute.

 

KEN

Yea!

 NGOZI

Please, ken, I would appreciate it a great deal if you would be able to see me in my office tomorrow morning.

 KEN

All right.

…to be continued.
