105. INT. DAN’S CHAMBER. DAY
The DUO of RAY and DAN in the LATTER’S OFFICE discussing.
DAN
Ray, I’m glad you’re here, I intended coming to see you in your office later in the day.
RAY
Is that right?
DAN
Sure! There’s this client of mine that wants a thorough investigation of his tax report and accounts so I thought I could show the report to you.
RAY
I’m available, anytime you decide to come.
DAN
Now that you’re here, I will give you the company’s statement of accounts and tax reports to go with so that you can study them and give me feed back later.
RAY
That’s okay, let me have them.
DAN
Sure! Here!
RAY
Collects them and quickly glances through.
That’s all right. By the way, Dan, I’m having a ball in my house this weekend. You know how it’s, the ‘chicks’, booze, everything in abundance, it’s really gonna be fun, make sure, you don’t miss it, man!
DAN
I’m sorry, Ray, I have left that sort of dirty life and right now, I have a new found love in Christ Jesus and I think you should also allow him into your life. The experience is really worth it.
RAY
Come on Dan! What has come over you? There’s so much to be enjoyed out there, are you telling me that you wanna leave such blissful pleasure to some sort of boredom? Come on, man! Is this actually the Dan I used to know?
DAN
Ray, this man, you’re seeing here is indeed a new man, totally transformed and cleansed from his iniquities by the precious blood of Christ. And I have an unsurpassed joy in me which I have never had in my life before, please, my brother, join me in this faith, you will never regret it. It will add value to your life, I beg of you.
RAY
Dan!
DAN
Yes!
RAY
Would you be upset if I ask you this question?
DAN
Go ahead brother, the spirit of God will always take away unnecessary anger from me.
RAY
Okay, do you have a history of madness in your family?
DAN
No, I don’t, I have a sound mind, the mind of Christ.
RAY
No, Dan, I think there’s something wrong with you lately.

106. INT. JEFF’S RES. NIGHT.
JEFF in his LIVING ROOM, VERY ANGRY as he tells COLLINS to VACATE his APARTMENT. While the LATTER pleads with him.
JEFF
Collins, how could you be this callous? Are you such a beast?
COLLINS
Tax collector, I really don’t understand what you’re jabbering about.
JEFF
I see! Now, tell me, what on Earth did Adamu do to you that you nearly killed him?
COLLINS
Who is feeding you with such a lie?
JEFF
I was at the hospital this morning to see the poor young man writhing in pain perhaps it might interest you to know that he lost of two his teeth as a result of the terrible beating you gave him.
COLLINS
He deserves it when he wouldn’t allow my girl and I in, what do you expect me to do other than to deal with him.
JEFF
My friend, do you even have a conscience?
COLLINS
Conscience? Sure, I do!
JEFF
No! I don’t think so because if you do by now, you would be so remorseful of your dastardly act.
COLLINS
Tax collector, you’re really taking this thing too far. I don’t see how this should bother you, the guy involved here is not in any way related to you by blood; please let me be!
JEFF
You know what Collins? I’m sick and tired of your attitude in this house and I can no longer condole your excesses anymore.
COLLINS
Meaning what, Jeff?
JEFF
Meaning that I want you out of my apartment this moment.
COLLINS
You aren’t serious man! Are you?
JEFF
I’m dead serious!
COLLINS
You really mean it that you want me out of your apartment, me, Collins, your pal?
JEFF
God knows I have tolerated you enough, please go in there and pack you things and leave my apartment this minute.
COLLINS
Please, Jeff, we can work things out, please don’t send me packing.
JEFF
Too late brother, I warned you but you wouldn’t listen, please leave my apartment.
…to be continued.
