LUCY and COLLINS in the LATTER’S LIVING ROOM; he seems very worried and the FORMER tries to FIND out what’s the MATTER is.
LUCY
Baby, for over an hour, I have been here, you’ve been like this; what’s the matter? Please talk to me I care.
COLLINS
It’s my problem; I shouldn’t bother you with it.
LUCY
Baby, why are you talking like this? You should know that your problem is mine as well, please tell me what it is.
COLLINS
You see, the rent of this apartment has long expired for the past six months and right now, the landlord is threatening to throw us out, in fact he says, he’s giving us one more week to pay or he evacuates us by force….honestly, sweet heart, I don’t know what to do now…I’m so confused.
LUCY
This is serious! But what about Jeff? You share the apartment with him, what’s his contribution?
COLLINS
Jeff! I’m squatting the ingrate.
LUCY
You mean, he doesn’t contribute to paying the rent?
COLLINS
Has he been able to feed himself let alone contribute toward paying the rent, please leave him out of this.
LUCY
Anyway, how much is it?
