INT. RESTAURANT- NIGHT

A LADY WALKS UP TO A COUPLE DINING

AMAKA
Tommy!

TOMIWA
Wow, Amaka, I didn’t know you were in town already
(Places palm in Amaka’s)

TOMIWA CONTD.
When did you return?

AMAKA
Had to rush back this morning, came in with the first flight.
I didn’t inform anyone, how you managed to get to know

CHUKS COUGHS

TOMIWA
(Teases)
I’m a reporter remember, ears to the ground.

AMAKA
Alright

TOMIWA
Alright…oh, meet my--

CHUKS
(Intercepts)
Friend, name’s Chuks please

AMAKA
Your friend?
It’s my pleasure

AMAKA STARES IN CONFUSION

CHUKS
Same here, PLEASURE…

AMAKA
(Whispers in friend’s ear)
Did you lovebirds tie the knot behind my back?

TOMIWA
(Smiles weakly)
No, no- you heard what he said- we’re just
(Speechless, nods frantically)

AMAKA
You might be lying; there’s a ring on your finger

TOMIWA
Oh! It’s a, it’s souvenir

AMAKA
What a shame…well, that’s a lovely ring.
Anyways, it was nice meeting you two
(Eyes Chuks)
Hope you lovebirds enjoy the night

AMAKA
Sure, we will

CHUKS GLARES AT THE DEPARTING FIGURE

AMAKA
What are you looking at?
CHUKS!

CHUKS
What?! Nothing

AMAKA
Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m saying
When did we start introducing each other as friends?

CHUKS
Was I?
(She nods)
Oh, I’m sorry, I just--

AMAKA
Whatever

CHUKS
Who’s she anyway?

AMAKA
She owns this place

CHUKS
(Hides surprise)
Really! Not bad…not bad at all for a lady, with that size; smelt it from far

AMAKA
Can we stop talking about that LovePeddler!

CHUKS
Whoa! LovePeddler? You mean…wow

AMAKA
I’m having a swell time here trying to make things work
What is wrong with you?

CHUKS
You mean, with me- or in…general terms

TOMIWA
What?
You’re kidding right?

CHUKS
No, I’m not

TOMIWA
I don’t get you; I don’t get us…what’s happening to us?

SILENCE

CHUKS
I was just wondering--

TOMIWA
Look at me, look at me; I need you to look at me
(Follows his gaze)

BEHIND TOMIWA, AMAKA WAVES CHUKS AND BLOWS AMAKA KISS

AMAKA WAVES BACK

CHUKS
Wow, heart-snatcher…
She’s so ruthless

TOMIWA
I already warned you…

CHUKS
Yeah, I get it. I get it now

TOMIWA
What was it you were saying…before?
CHUKS?

CHUKS
Oh, yeah… it’s just amazing- our love, eh (coughs) we love each other, you proposing to me, and all that

TOMIWA
Well, don’t be…
It’s because I love you

SILENCE

CHUKS SHIFTS UNCOMFORTABLY

TOMIWA
What?
What’s wrong?
Are you hiding something from me?

CHUKS
What? Come on, nothing’s wrong with me
I’m totally fine with it

TOMIWA
Really?
Come on, I know you
Are you O.K with me, I mean us, are we good?

CHUKS
(Smiles weakly) (Faces down)
I’m good. I’m good
Really, I’m good with us

TOMIWA
Then look at me; look me straight in the eyes

TOMIWA CONTD

Don’t lie to me.
I know that look…
No secrets remember?

CHUKS
Yeah, yeah, sure… I remember, you don’t have to--

TOMIWA
(Interrupts)
Then tell me what’s going on,
You’ve been acting weird since we got here…and I—
I’m enjoying this. You acting like this, it’s not encouraging me at all…

CHUKS
I’m sorry,
I’m sorry

HE COUGHS
TOMIWA
Awww, c’mon…stop saying you’re sorry

CHUKS
I’m sorry, what can I say?

TOMIWA
Just- just let it out

A WAITER CLEARS THE TABLE

CHUKS
O.K. O.K.
(Pauses)

TOMIWA
(Clears throat)
I’m waiting

CHUKS NODS REMORSEFULLY

TOMIWA CONTD.
Let the cat out of the bag…

CHUKS
Alright, alright
I’m seeing someone else…

TOMIWA STARES IN HORROR

CUT TO:




INT. TAYO/SULE’S APARTMENT/BEDROOM- NIGHT

SULE DRESSES UP AND JUMPS ON THE BED

LUCY USES THE BLANKET AS COVER, EACH STARES AT THE CEILING

SULE TRIES TO STIFLE A GRIN BUT BURSTS INTO LAUGHTER


LUCY
What is wrong with you?

SULE
(Sheepishly)
Oh, nothing, nothing. It’s nothing

LUCY
(Frowns)
Strange

SULE
Hun? Strange?

LUCY
Nothing

SULE
O.K


SILENCE

SULE MAKES MORE GIGGLING SOUNDS



LUCY
What’s so funny?
(Sounds stop)
HEY! Answer me

SULE
Nothing; it’s the job

LUCY
Job? What job?

SULE
No don’t worry; I’ve got it under control

LUCY
Please, tell me

SULE
My job, my boss; he’s killing me…
I mean, he gives me the shivers

LUCY
(Frowns)
Sule, you know I know when you’re lying

SILENCE

LUCY CONTD.
Sule!

SULE
Yeah. O.K. O.K. It’s the Mouth Gig…


LUCY
What?

SULE
The Mouth Gig- blow-jay-oh-bee- Mouth Gig

LUCY
(Faces him)
What about?

SULE
Epic

LUCY
What do you mean epic?


SULE
It was epic; it was grand, magnetic…we conquered gravity

LUCY
Oh… really?
(He nods)

SULE
Yeah, we did it

LUCY
Glad you liked it

SULE
(Inhales)
Never knew the day would come… I lost all hope of getting one--


LUCY
Wow…
(Laughs)

SULE
Until I met you… Thanks

LUCY
(Frowns)
Me?

SULE
Yeah, Tayo told me you were good at it and I didn’t believe until--

LUCY
(Shocked)
Tayo?

SULE
(Smiles)
Yeah, Tayo.
Now I staunchly believe it.

LUCY
You know him?


SULE
Of course, we all work in the same place, you know
I was surprised he knew you too
(Sits up)
SULE
Why, what’s wrong?



LUCY
(Mutters curses)
Well…I’m glad I didn’t let you down--

SULE
(Sings)
Mum- I’ve found a Cinderella-!
Alas!

LUCY
Sorry, I only do that on the last day
(Stands with blanket)


SULE
What?

LUCY PICKS TROUSERS FROM FLOOR

SULE CONTD.
What are you doing?

LUCY
What does it look like?

SULE
You’re putting on your-
Where’re you going?

LUCY
YOU’RE SO DUMB
(Inserts a leg)
Still don’t get it?


SULE
What? Are you sleeping in that? Awww, Please don’t

LUCY
(Pissed, stones him with pillow)
You’re so stupid.
It’s over!

A DOOR SLAMS SOMEWHERE IN THE HOUSE

SULE
But…but… what’d I do?

SHE LOOKS AROUND, OPENS WARDROBE AND TAKES A SLEEVE

SULE CONTD.
Lucy, I love you
LUCY
(Tearfully)
What… now you’re starting to love me all of a sudden?
No, that wasn’t your goal; remember?

SULE
Lucy, Lucy, I knew you were with Tayo before we met

SULE CONTD
But, that doesn’t matter anymore
Here, sit please
I’m here and all I want is you

DOOR OPENS AND TAYO WALKS IN, SHOCKED, HE STANDS THERE

LUCY
(To SULE)
Sule, what’s he doing here?

SULE
Awww…it’s his room… mine’s next door
We live together

LUCY FREES HERSELF FROM SULE’S HOLD

SULE
Lucy, Lucy

LUCY
You bastards, I hate you…

SULE TRIES TO GRAB HER, FALLING

LUCY RUNS OUT AS TAYO SHIFTS FROM THE DOORWAY

TAYO
Hey! Watch where you’re going
TAYO CONTD.
And don’t come back here… Bitch

SULE
Shit! Shit!
Don’t say a word

SULE RUNS AFTER HER; DOWNSTAIRS INTO THE STREETS LOOKING AROUND

CUT TO:

EXT. STREET/FOUNTAIN- NIGHT

BEHIND WE SEE A MALE’S SILHOUETTE WALK UP TO A FOUNTAIN

CAMERA MOVES CLOSER AND WE SEE HIM GAZING INTO THE FIZZLING FOUNTAIN WATER, HOLDING PICTURE OF A YOUNG GIRL.

SULE
I wish you never left me Tommy.
What we had- it was worth fighting for…worth following you for
Here I’m- messed up… without a JOB
(Sniffs)
I wish I could just drown myself, but I can’t!
I don’t know how to swim

SULE HEARS SOUNDS OF SOBS NEARBY AND DECIDES TO WALK AROUND

HE SPOTS A LADY AND WALKS TO HER

SULE
Hey, hey
(Sobs continue)

Hey, what’s wrong?

SILENCE

Aww, Come on- you can talk to me
(She hugs him suddenly)

Awww…
(Tearfully)
You’re brokenhearted too…like me?
God… How could anyone hurt an angel like you?
This part of the world must be full of Jankholes like me

SULE CONTD.
I mean it- I’m a jankhole…I broke a girl’s heart this night…or she broke my heart, somehow- it’s just…confusing.
I tried…I confessed to her…told her I loved her…
But, she- she left, just because I’m friends with her ex…
It’s not fair, no one does this anymore; I can’t stop being friends with this guy, and I care for her…I showed her…I told her
I’ve never ever brought a girl to my house, except her… and then there’s Tommy of course

TOMIWA
(Wipes eyes)
Tommy?

SULE
Yeah… that’s…that’s my guardian angel

TOMIWA
Really?
(Sule nods)
Do angels bear Tommy?
(Sule nods)
I wish I had one too


SULE
She’s like the A I never had in physics- but deserved.
We grew up together, did everything together; we loved each other…
But they moved away; her bald-headed daddy took her away
(Tomiwa flinches)

SULE CONTD.
Now- she’s like a One-up- to me I think…
She keeps me going everyday
(Sniffs)

TOMIWA
Awww, that’s really bad, I’m sorry
(Eyes stray to his hand)
Is that her picture?

SULE
Yeah,


TOMIWA
May I?

SULE HESISTATES THEN HANDS IT TO HER

SALIMOT FRIGTHENED SEEING HER PICTURE

SULE
What, why you crying?

TOMIWA THROWS PICTURE AWAY AND TAKES OFF

SULE CONFUSED PICKS PICTURE UP AND RUNS AFTER HER

SULE
HEY! HEY! WHAT’S HAPPENING, WHAT’D I DO?
WHY’RE YOU RUNNING? DID I SAY SOMETHING WRONG?

TOMIWA
WHO ARE YOU?

SULE
WHAT?

TOMIWA
WHO ARE YOU; WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

SULE
SULE! SULE! MY NAME IS SULE!

TOMIWA SLOWS TO A HALT AND SULE MEETS UP

SULE
Why? Why’d you make me suffer like that?

TOMIWA
Sorry… where did you get that picture?

SULE
Is this about the picture?
Tommy gave it to me, why’re you asking?
(Brings picture out and glares at her at it and at her suspiciously)

TOMIWA
It’s mine; I took it ten years back
(Collects it)
This was at my grandma’s…she’s dead now
(Returns it)

SULE STARES SPEECHLESS

TOMIWA
(Tearfully)
I didn’t forget you
I had your picture too…my dog tore it

SULE
Really?
(Tomiwa nods)

He looks at picture and her again and laughs

SULE
Oh my God, it is really you! You’ve grown all over!
(Hugs her)

SHE GIGGLES

SULE
No, no

TOMIWA
What?

SULE
You mean, you’re Tomiwa?

TOMIWA
Yeah, yeah

SULE SCREAMS AND HUG HER

SULE
There will be no night like this again…it’s one in a gazil-lion

TOMIWA
No, there won’t

THEY BOTH EMBRACE

SULE
Don’t- ever-leave-me-again

TOMIWA
I won’t, I promise
