148. EXT. CHIEF TEJUOSHO’S RES. NIGHT.

CHIEF TEJUOSHO sitting in his VERANDAH and sipping a GLASS of BRANDY; enjoying the NIGHT’S COOL BREEZE as SHOLA saunters into the COMPOUND.

 

CHIEF TEJUOSHO

Hey! Stop there, my friend.

 

Shola stopping briefly and staring at him with disdain.

 

CHIEF TEJUOSHO

Where on earth, are you coming from at this ungodly hour of the night?

 

SHOLA

Chief, what sort of question is that? Am I under any form of incarceration in my own house?

 

CHIEF TEJUOSHO

Listen to yourself; just listen to the nonsense emanating from your mouth. A married woman still gallivanting everywhere till almost mid night. What a shame!

 

SHOLA

Chief, you know what? I don’t have time for a man who nags like a woman, please excuse me!

 

She walks out on him.

 

CHIEF TEJUOSHO

I don’t blame you; I blame myself for deliberately bringing a curse like you into my life in the name of marriage.

149. INT. CHIEF TEJUOSHO’S RES. DAY

CHIEF TEJUOSHO’S TWO WIVES are in the KITCHEN, quarrelling and fighting over the GAS BURNER before CHIEF calms the situation.

 

 

MRS. TEJUOSHO

Shola, why did you remove my pot from that burner when there are other burners you can use?

 

SHOLA

Because it burns faster and I want to use it, do you have a problem with that?

 

MRS. TEJUOSHO

Yes, I do!

 

SHOLA

Then you go hang yourself to death!

 

MRS. TEJUOSHO

Shola! Shola! Why are you bent on creating problems in this house? Does peace irritate you?

 

SHOLA

You’re the one that peace irritates, useless woman!

 

MRS. TEJUOSHO

…She gives her a blinding slap that sends her crashing on the cupboard.

 

SHOLA

 

She rises to her feet and grabs a club.

 

So, you want to fight eh? I will show you! I will deal with you, stupid old woman!
