BEN
So, when are you moving into my house?
DEOLA
As your mistress or what?
BEN
Come on Deola! I want to marry you but you just have to move in with me first.
DEOLA
Hell no! How can I do that when your wife is still there? I can’t Ben!
BEN
But I told you, my wife is not going to be a problem to you.
DEOLA
So you think.
BEN
That I know for sure.
DEOLA
Honestly, Ben, you’re not ready for anything serious with me yet. All you’re interested in is to ravish my body whenever you’re tensed.
BEN
Don’t talk like that Deola, I want to marry you, I’m serious.
DEOLA
If you’re serious, prove it by divorcing your wife.
