27. INT. DEN’S OFFICE.DAY.

KEN in his OFFICE and seriously BUSY working with his LAPTOP, his PHONE rings, earlier he ignores it but when it keeps ringing persistently, he takes it.

 KEN

Hi sweetie!

 NGOZI

I’m all right and you?

 KEN

Well, I would be a lot better if you will come and spend the weekend with me.

 NGOZI

You’re not serious ken.

 KEN

Of course, you know I am. So are you coming over to my place?

 NGOZI

Ken, you know quite well that my Christian faith forbids it totally for me to sleep with you; you’re not yet my husband for crying out aloud.

 KEN

Each time I want you, it’s either your Christian faith or your dogma. Honestly, I’m tired of you, I have a fiancée, who can’t come over to my place, cook or do some household chores for me. Please give me a break!

Angrily, he drops the call.

And she begins to call again; initially he ignores it and complains

 KEN

Am I asking for too much! Just allow me have a little feel of you, no! You wouldn’t.

 

Finally, he takes her call.

 

 KEN

Yes, what is it?

 NGOZI

Ken, please don’t be angry with me. I promise tomorrow, being Saturday, I will certainly come first thing in the morning and cook for you but I won’t pass a night there, is that okay by you?

 KEN

Suit yourself!

 

28. INT. KEN’S RES. DAY.

KEN sitting on the COUCH in his LIVING ROOM and pleasurably puffing his CIGARETTE as well as drinking a GLASSFUL OF HENESSY. The DOOR BELL ring. His MOTHER comes in, while they’re together, NGOZI comes to serve him BREAKFAST.

 

KEN

Come in, the door is not locked.

 MRS. FIBERISIMA

Ken, for Christ sake, when will you quit smoking? It’s barely 11am and you’re already killing yourself with alcohol and cigarette.

 KEN

Putting off the cigarette in gold plated ash tray on the table.

I’m an adult now, mummy, I can live my life anyway I deem fit besides this is my house.

 MRS. FIBERISIMA

I just wish you realize the kind of harm you’re doing to yourself before it’s too late…..

 KEN

Please, please mum, save your sermon for some other day.

 MRS. FIBERISIMA

I’m surprised that you still call me mum.
