1 EXT. STREET - DAY 1

Terminator. Tall, handsome, early thirties is jogging on

Lekki/Ikoyi bridge. He's very conscious of his effect on
women. A couple of other female joggers or walkers stare as
he jogs by. His phone rings. He slows to a walk and answers.

TERMINATOR
Baptist, what's up?

BAPTIST VO
Good bro, what are you up to? Let
me guess, jogging on the bridge.
You nor go let Lekki women rest?

TERMINATOR
(laughing)
I nor do anything o! just
jogging...all on my own too.

BAPTIST VO
I hear you! Listen, my wife's
cousin, you know the die hard
player I told you about? He's
caught one unlucky girl to get
married to.

TERMINATOR
(laughs)
Unlucky indeed cos once a player,
always a player! you know how we
roll.

BAPTIST VO
Actually I don't.

Terminator rolls his eyes

BAPTIST VO (CONTD)
Anyway, my wife's going to be busy
at the wedding so I was wondering
if you guys could accompany me.

TERMINATOR
Sure! Have you asked Fox?

BAPTIST VO
Yup! He's game. I'll text you the
address. See you at noon.

TERMINATOR
Bye!

He continues his jog

 2.

2 INT. HALL - DAY 2

Yoruba traditional marriage in full swing. The groom and his

friends lie on the floor in Yoruba style. Baptist wife Kamsi
is going around helping. The bride is brought in. The bride
and groom are seated. Terminator, Fox and Baptist go to say
hello. Terminator and the Bride Toyin are shocked.

TOYIN
Chuks!

TERMINATOR
Toyin!

TOYIN
How did you know? Well if it isn't
the 3 Chuks'

BAPTIST
Toyin, I had no idea it was you
getting married to Kalu. He's my
wife's cousin.

KALU
Small world isn't it? Lovely
meeting you guys. Friends of yours?

BAPTIST
Friends from university.

Baptist starts chatting with Kalu.

TOYIN
Good to see you guys again!
Terminator, are you married now?

TERMINATOR
Nah, you know me, haven't quite
found the one. Anyway congrats and
don't be a stranger!

The three guys walk away.

FOX
I remember you really liked her in
school.

BAPTIST
The love really shacked you.
Perhaps she's the one that got
away.

TERMINATOR
Did she?
 3.

3 INT. TERMINATOR'S BEDROOM - DAY 3

Terminator and a lady having wild sex. He's on top of her,

banging away. He finishes and rolls off her. It's Toyin.
She's smiling. Satisfied. Silence.

TOYIN
What's going to happen to us?

TERMINATOR
What do you mean?

TOYIN
My court marriage and white wedding
is next week. What happens to us?

TERMINATOR
(taking her hand gently)
Babe, there is no us. What just
happened, was a...well...a sort of
one for the road or a farewell
present if you like to call it
that. Who am I to spoil your
happiness because...

Toyin slaps him hard across the face.

TOYIN
(tears streaming down
her face)
You bastard! You good for nothing
bastard! I should have known
better. I should have known that
you would always be the low life
womaniser you always were.

She puts on her clothes, picks up her shoes and her bag.

TOYIN (CONTD)
Stay away from me, stay very far
away for me. You are evil

She leaves the room still in tears. Terminator sighs and lays
back on the bed.

4 EXT. TERMINATOR'S PARKING LOT - DAY 4

Fox parks his car. Baptist is in the passenger seat. As they

alight, they notice a visibly shaken and tear stricken Toyin
get in her car and drive off. They look at each other in
shock as they go into the apartment complex.
 4.

5 INT. TERMINATOR'S LIVING ROOM - DAY 5

Terminator opens the door to let Fox and Baptist come in.

BAPTIST
Please tell me Toyin didn't just
leave here.

TERMINATOR
She did

FOX
And why was she crying? You
didn't...

TERMINATOR
What can I say? Old firewood na...

FOX
What do you mean old firewood?

TERMINATOR
Dude, it's not that serious, it's
Okafor's law at work!

BAPTIST
What the heck is Okafor's law?

TERMINATOR
You don't know Okafor's law? Fox
you too? You've got to be the only
Nigerian men who don't know
Okafor's law.

FOX
Well, what is it?

TERMINATOR
You know the law na, that says, if
you've shagged a woman before, you
can always shag her again.

BAPTIST
What a load of crap!

TERMINATOR
Fox, you like to google everything.
Google am na!

Fox brings out his phone and presses it. He stops to look.
His eyes widen.

BAPTIST
What does it say?
 5.

FOX
Ol boy! This statement applies to
guys mostly. If you have been
involved in a relationship with a
girl for over a period of time and
you did a great job, in and out of
the bedroom(mostly in), the belief
is that you can always go to the
girl at any given time and sleep
with the girl no matter what
situation arises (break ups,
different lovers etc)

BAPTIST
Bullshit!

TERMINATOR
It's not! It's a law that was
sealed with blood.

FOX
What blood? What madness is this?

TERMINATOR
I actually know the genesis of this
law.

FOX
You take this crap seriously? Guys,
I dey go. I have work to do

BAPTIST
Wait Fox, I actually want to hear
this. Terminator, the floor is
yours!

TERMINATOR
Ok. Legend has it that, in the late
1800s. Mr Okafor the village
palmwine tapper in Onitcha was
known far and wide for his sexual
prowess. No woman could say no to
his charms. Some said, he had some
sexual gift from the gods, others
said he was simply skilled in the
ways of pleasuring a woman...

BAPTIST
(laughing long and hard.
fox joins in)
That has got to be the most
incredible story ever!
 6.

TERMINATOR
It's a true story!

FOX
You actually believe that crap? I
thought you were smarter than that
bro!

TERMINATOR
I tell you, it's a true story and
the law has been proven to work,
all the time!

BAPTIST
I still maintain, it's bullshit!
What if the woman has moved on and
is happily settled with someone
else.

TERMINATOR
Like... Toyin?

FOX
Hmmm!
(referring to Baptist)
He might have a point there

BAPTIST
What point? She's just experiencing
pre wedding jitters, and seeing an
old flame with a possibility of
igniting something she might
have...
(thinking about what he
just said)

Terminator and fox look at him with their arms folded on

their chest while he trails

TERMINATOR
It doesn't matter. Okafor's law
still works!

FOX
Ok Terminator, why don't we test
this Okafor's law of yours.

TERMINATOR
It already been tested. It's a law!
(wagging his finger)
Not a theory
 7.

BAPTIST
Then it shouldn't be too hard to
prove, should it?

TERMINATOR
Of course not!

BAPTIST

Tapping Fox on the shoulder

Then fire on my brother!

FOX
We'll pick four girls you slept
with in uni and you'll try to prove
Okafor's Law with...

TERMINATOR
Haba! Na so I wan dey sleep with
woman up and down? Four is too
much.

FOX
How else do you prove a theorem? Is
it not with many trials...

TERMINATOR
(cutting him short)
A law! it's been proven, so I'm
only showing the reality, so I
don't need as many trials as when
proving a theorem. Two is fine

BAPTIST
Ok ok! Let's make it an even three

TERMINATOR
My guy, when did three become even

BAPTIST
Three girls! That's our final
answer. Makes it more exciting and
it's a bet. What do we bet on?

TERMINATOR
10K

FOX
Nor make me vex o! So my blood go
dey boil to see you lose your bet
because of 10k?

TERMINATOR
Me? Lose?
 8.

BAPTIST
Then let's make it more interesting

FOX
The farm project! You have 50%
while we both have 25% each because
the land belongs to your family so
now, if you loose the bet, you give
us 5% each and you end up with 40%
and if you win, we each give you 5%
and you end up with 60%

TERMINATOR
Are you guys kidding me? Forget it!
E nor serious like that

FOX
I said it! You know how we roll.
You just don't drop yan on the
table and expect us to believe it
without proof, and once again you
come out short.

TERMINATOR
(pause)
I'm in!

FOX AND BAPTIST

YES!!!

TERMINATOR
Who are the ladies?

BAPTIST
Leave it to me. Reveal at our next

extremely possessive and hardly
lets her out of his sights.

FOX
Out of his sights? What kind of
English is that? Abeg nor fall our
hand o

BAPTIST
Cool down my guy. I meant exactly
what I said. His sights, cos the
guy has got lots of them on his
wife

Terminator and Fox nod their approval

difficult of all the girls I have

Exciting is an understatement.

BAPTIST
And we all know Cassandra's temper
has teeth! It can chew you up! Run
along...

FOX
She's a sweetheart.

TERMINATOR

Baby, I was out with the boys. You

CASSANDRA
You know how much I can't stand you
hanging out with 'the boys'
especially that snake Terminator or
whatever you call him! And that
Baptist, acting all coy and...

FOX
Baby please, let's not fight. It's
been a long day. We were at the
farm all day and we hung out
afterwards so I'm exhausted.

CASSANDRA
Exhaustion should have brought your
ass back home on time. You know how
I hate being here alone.

FOX
Ok I'm sorry...come on, let's go to
the bedroom so you can give daddy

RECEPTIONIST
Which answer will make you happy?

TERMINATOR
You're doing fine so far! Don't let
me stop you
 14.

Tomi walks towards them. They continue chatting oblivious to

her.

RECEPTIONIST
I'm always this

secret? I gave you my best smile...

TERMINATOR

Simultaneously.

TOMI
What are you doing here?

TERMINATOR
What are you doing here?

TOMI
I run this place!

TERMINATOR
Oh wow! Then you are just the
person I came to see! Who would

are here is it?
 15.

TERMINATOR
Actually, I run an agric company
now alongside my family's shipping
business and we are in need of some
pr and advertising. I shopped
around and was told Brooks is the
best.

TOMI
What exactly do you want from your
publicity?

TERMINATOR
I was hoping you could tell me.

TOMI
Well we have different packages. It
all depends on what you want to
achieve and how much you have to
spend.

TERMINATOR
I want the best package.

TOMI
Put down your email and phone

mouth piece of the phone)
Princess, did you find any...?

IFY
I like them all bae

OMENE
Then take them all, and lets go

Terminator makes a detour and starts looking at some items.

IFY

It's late evening. Ejiro is outside the church talking to two

EJIRO
I am so glad I made it to church on
time. This message was for me!
Girl, God was speaking to me on
another level!

Terminator walks past them greeting as he goes.

 17.

TERMINATOR
Good night ladies.

LADIES
Goodnight.

EJIRO
Chuks?

He turns to look at her. He squints trying to figure her out.

TERMINATOR
Ejiro?

EJIRO
(excitedly)
Yes! I could have sworn I saw you
in church a couple of days ago.

The ladies say their good nights and excuse themselves.

TERMINATOR
Woah! You come here too? I had no
idea!

EJIRO
It's very easy to miss someone
here.

TERMINATOR
Especially because I always leave
right after. You know me, no time
for chit chat.

EJIRO
I would never have pegged you as
the church going type.

TERMINATOR
Why? Am I irredeemable? Too bad for
Jesus to die for? Isn't it for
sinners like me that he came?

EJIRO
I didn't mean it that way. I just
never heard you say anything
religious when we were...you
know...

TERMINATOR
That was many years ago. Things are
different now. Anyway, I've got to
run, see you around.
 18.

He gives her a quick peck on the cheek and immediately leaves

a dazed Ejiro starring after him.

28 INT. RESTAURANT - DAY 28

Terminator is seated at a table. There's a glass of water in

front of him. Tomi walks in with another lady in tow. The
other lady had a laptop bag. She heads straight for
Terminator.

TOMI
Chuks, hope you haven't been
waiting for long. There was a bit
of traffic at Ozumba.

TERMINATOR
It's fine. I only just got here
myself.

TOMI
Great! This is Adanna my assistant.
Adanna, Mr Chuks Okafor.

ADANNA
Nice to meet you Mr Okafor.

TERMINATOR
Pleasure's all mine.

TOMI
Hope you don't mind that I came
with her.

TERMINATOR
(fiddling with his
phone. there's an
outgoing text that reads
COME IN. he clicks send)
Not at all. I too came with my
business associate. he went to get
some documents from the car.

TOMI
Great! Let's get down to it then!
Did you get a chance to look
through the email I sent you?

TERMINATOR
I did and I find the full package
very all encompassing. For me, what
is worth doing is worth doing well.
(MORE)
 19.

TERMINATOR (CONT'D)
I want television commercials,
radio jingles, billboards
everything!

TOMI
Brilliant! I must warn you though
that this will take a great deal of
your time. We'll have to work very
closely together to make sure the
concepts are in line with what you
want for your business. considering
your deadline.

TERMINATOR
I look forward to that!

Terminator's business associate comes to them.

TERMINATOR (CONTD)
Tomi, this is my colleague Tayo,
Tayo, Tomi and her assistant
Adanna.

TAYO
Nice meeting you ladies.

TOMI
Same. So I was just sharing with
Chuks how much work we have on our
hands if we are doing the full
campaign...

29 EXT. OUTSIDE OFFICE COMPLEX - DAY 29

Ify and Omene walk out of the office complex towards the car.
Terminator sees them and starts walking towards them from
afar. Another guy (Tayo) walks to them from the opposite
direction. The guy gets to them and stops Omene.

TAYO
Hello sir, very nice to finally
meet you. You are my mentor. I love
what you are doing as a leader in
the African business terrain, you
are inspiring a lot of young
entrepreneurs like me, especially
with your biography.

OMENE
Thank you. Glad to be an
inspiration
 20.

TAYO
Sir if you don't mind me taking a
few seconds of your time, there is
something that has always intrigued
me about your style of
entrepreneurship.

TAYO (CONTD)
Would you please sign my book?

OMENE
Sure.

Handing Omene his book to sign

TAYO
You said that building a team was
far more entrepreneurial than
building an idea. I was taught all
my life on the contrary?

OMENE
This might take more than a minute.
Princess could you wait in the car
for me?

TAYO
Sorry madam. Good afternoon. I
promise this won't take more than 5
minutes.

No worries. I'll be in the car bae

OMENE
When you look at entrepreneurship
in west and central africa
particularly, where the growth
potential for any business is
enormous. What idea would flourish
without that requisite manpower to
build that dream? It's a totally
different ball game from the rest
of the world where the
infrastructure for building ideas
are already in place through an
ever growing and dynamic education
system to feed that
entrepreneurship spirit... Not so
in these parts, cos the
challenges...

Terminator bumps into Ify. She looks up at him.

 21.

TERMINATOR
I am so sorry ma'am.

IFY
Chuks?

TERMINATOR
Excuse me?

IFY
Chuks, it's me Ify.

TERMINATOR
Ify? I'm sorry...

IFY
Ify Okocha from university...

TERMINATOR
Oh my word! Fifi? How is it that
you got even more beautiful? How
are you?

IFY
Good. How are you?

TERMINATOR
Great! Listen, I have to run but
here's my card, let's keep in touch
ok.

He leaves immediately because he notices her husband is

shaking Tayo to leave. She turns to look at him, sees her
husband coming to her and drops the card. Terminator walks
right past her husband, walks past Guy and shakes his hand
discreetly as he passes him.

30 INT. TERMINATOR'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 30

Terminator opens the door and there's someone sitting in the

room. We initially don't see her face.

MOM
No woman will take this late nights
from you!

TERMINATOR
Mom, what are you doing here?

MOM
I came to check up on you.
 22.

TERMINATOR
You can't keep showing up
unannounced mom, I'll have to take
my key back. What if there was a
woman here?

MOM
I would have been elated! At least
I would have someone to gist with.
Come on Bubu...

TERMINATOR
Mom, we talked about it...

MOM
You will always be my bubu! When
will you bring a woman home? You
are not getting any younger.

TERMINATOR
Mom! I'm 32, not 40! How many guys
my age are married?

MOM
How many guys your age are
established? Your dad wasn't super
rich but he made sure you didn't
have to start from the scratch like
most kids. The more successful you
get, the more difficult it will be
to find a good woman who loves you
for you!

TERMINATOR
Jeez mom! Guys don't get married so
early!

MOM
What about your friend? Chuks?

TERMINATOR
Chuks is just an exception to the
rule. He's always been an
exception.

MOM
What rule? Who made that rule? Bia,
you must always remember that you
are an only child! I am lonely
Bubu, I have been lonely since you
left for university after your dad
passed. I need grand babies...I
need...
 23.

TERMINATOR
Mom, that's unfair, this is
emotional blackmail!

MOM
It's the truth son, you have no
idea how cold that big house is.
It's like I never had kids...

TERMINATOR
(sighs)
Ok...I met someone...

MOM
(squeals in excitement)
When were you going to tell me?

TERMINATOR
It's early days mom. We are still
trying to get to know each other.

MOM
(dancing)
I knew it! I knew my son would make
me proud..

Terminator rolls his eyes in exasperation as he heads to his

bedroom.

MOM (CONTD)
Go and freshen up and come, I made
ofe onugbu with pounded yam for
you.

TERMINATOR
Mom it's flipping midnight! I've
eaten already!

MOM
Ok, I will put it in the fridge
then.

31 INT. CAFE - DAY 31

Terminator and Tomi both have their laptops open, discussing.

TERMINATOR
I think I like the 2nd idea better.
A lot of people ship cars in, so we
can own that market.
 24.

TOMI
Why don't you feature in the ads?
You are young and successful, you
are exactly the image we want to
portray

TERMINATOR
Me? Never! I don't want that kind
of exposure.

TOMI
Studies have shown that there's a
higher believability factor when
the CEO of a company says it than a
model. Annnnd... people already
associate you with the...brand

TERMINATOR
I'm not even considering it Tomi
so let's not even discuss it. We'll
pay a model or an actor, if you
prefer. Maybe someone already
famous like Dbanj or Don Jazzy.

His phone rings. He sees Ejiro, he looks up at Tomi and picks

up his phone.

TERMINATOR (CONTD)
(standing up)
Could you excuse me? It's important

He walks off to a little distance and answers.

TERMINATOR (CONTD)
Hi Ejiro. How are you?

EJIRO VO
I'm good thanks. Just wanted to say
thanks again for drinks last night.

TERMINATOR
You are always welcome.

EJIRO
Are you coming for mid week service
today?

TERMINATOR
Sure! Wouldn't miss it for
anything!
 25.

EJIRO
Great! Could you pick me up on your
way? My car broke down this
afternoon.

TERMINATOR
Sure. I don't know where you live
though.

EJIRO
It's on the Island. I'll text you
the address.

TERMINATOR
Ok. Got to run. I'll be at yours by
5:30.

EJIRO
Thanks Chuks.

TERMINATOR
Anytime! Bye.

He cuts the call and returns to Tomi.

TERMINATOR (CONTD)
Sorry about that. Some containers
are stuck in Brazil and the client
is waiting for delivery. You were
saying...

TOMI
I'll speak to some celebs we have a
relationship with but we still have
to agree on the locations for the
billboards. If we do 5 billboards,
then I think we might be able to
get an even wider spread...

Terminator just watches her as she speaks.

Thanks Chuks. I really appreciate
this kind gesture.

TERMINATOR
My pleasure. How was work today?

EJIRO
Same same, nothing out of the
ordinary. Plenty deadlines
approaching. Can I ask you
something?

TERMINATOR
Anything!

EJIRO
Do you have a woman in your life?

TERMINATOR
Not right now, no. My last
relationship ended badly so now I
am just taking my time, waiting for
God to bring the right woman my
way.

EJIRO
I can just imagine. So many people
miss it nowadays. They try to do it
on their own without God and it
just never works.

TERMINATOR
I feel you! What do you think of
the message on Sunday?

EJIRO
You know pastor Tunde now! That
man's anointing is on another
level. Did you get the feeling he
was talking to you!

I did! I always do...

products.

She leaves. Soon after, Terminator strolls in on the phone.

He walks past Onome who's engrossed in her novel.

TERMINATOR
I don't see you anywhere. I've
checked the private
rooms...sorry...let me call you
back. IFY! Fancy meeting you here!

IFY
Hi Chuks, looking for someone?

Yes my friend Chuks. Remember him?

three Chuks! Inseparable and
notorious! How are they these days?
 28.

TERMINATOR
They are doing great actually.
Baptist runs a security firm and is
married.

IFY
Wow!

TERMINATOR
Fox is still single. He's pretty
much into everything legal that
makes money. We call him general
contractor. We all do the odd
business together every once in a
while. Still inseparable.

IFY
What about you? What do you do?

TERMINATOR
I run my family's shipping business
and an agric business.

IFY
Are you married?

TERMINATOR
No. Still haven't found the one.
You?

IFY
(flashes her rings)
I am. Got married almost right
after school.

TERMINATOR
With a ring like that, your husband
must be loaded.

IFY
(laughs)
He kind of is.

TERMINATOR
You guys must have a lot of fun
then.

IFY
Well, we do in our own way.
Especially when we travel out.

Anyway, got to run. You take it

FOX
Next thing we know, they'll be
doing fasting and prayer on your
matter and you'll be hooked!
 30.

TERMINATOR
Odeshi! It can't enter!

They all laugh.

TERMINATOR (CONTD)
The hardest nut is Fifi. That girl
is as cold as ice! I think when she
sees me, she only sees numbers or
billboards or something. Zero
emotions! It's looking like a hard
one.

FOX
Just don't forget, the clock is
ticking. You had 6 weeks dude, it's
been 2 weeks already.

Excuse me?

TERMINATOR
Don't mind me, just talking aloud.

woman getting pregnant for another
man, after doing everything for
her.

Looking over your shoulder.

I was saying...I brought this girl
from Sapele where her parents live.
Beautiful, brilliant girl I met on

KAMSI
What did you just say?

BAPTIST
Shit! Guy, let me call you back.

KAMSI
What was that you were saying on
the phone? Who shagged my cousin's
wife?

BAPTIST
Babe, babe...calm down. There's no
reason for us to raise our voices.
You don't even know who...

KAMSI
I know what I heard! I'm guessing
it was Terminator on the phone.
That whore! So after uselessing
herself with that male prostitute
called Terminator, she went to...in
short where's my phone. Kalu must
hear this!

BAPTIST
Babe, no no...it hasn't come to
that. It's not her fault. You know
Terminator na, she was powerless
against him.

KAMSI
Oh! So my cousin should have
Terminator's leftovers? That
shameless girl! Right after her
engagement! We can't have that in
our family! I must tell Kalu

BAPTIST
So what do you intend to gain by
telling Kalu. You want him to chase
away his wife? Or you just want him
to feel bad. Babe, drop this thing!

KAMSI
I won't o! I won't! Why won't you
take sides with your friend? Do I
know what you get up to when you
all are together? After all, fowls
of the same feather flock together!

BAPTIST
Don't be ridiculous! You know I am
nothing like Terminator! Ok. I'm
sorry. We are sorry. I apologize on
behalf of my friend.

KAMSI
No o, apology will not right this
wrong o!

BAPTIST
Ok what do you want? Tell me, I'll
buy it.

KAMSI
You think a gift is all it will
take to make me drop this evil?
Anyway...come to think of it sha,
there's this diamond set I've been
looking at for a while...

things from me. Plus you didn't
tell me about this beautiful
girlfriend of yours. Very nice
girl...

EJIRO

brought food. Chukwudi odiron ma.

support. Here I was thinking...
 40.

TERMINATOR
Ejiro what are you doing here?

Listen, what we did last night was
wrong.

forgiveness.

right? I wanted to too but I didn't
want to loose you.

Who are you again?

FOX
Who's this man Cassie?

BAPTIST
You are right sir! You really are
too old for this!

bitch!

CASSANDRA
Can you take yourself out of my
business? Dude! I don't know you?

CASSANDRA (CONTD)
Sweetheart, can we sort this out at
home? There's obviously been a huge
misunderstanding.

FOX
What home? You mean my apartment? I
came for a drink with my guys. I
will go in and have that drink with
them. By the time I get home in a
few hours, I don't want to see any
sign that you were ever in my
apartment. Please leave the key
with the security on your way out.

We can sort this out...

It's like your ear is paining you!
You just got dumped! Bitch bye!

One down! 2 more!

BAPTIST
How's it going with the others?

TERMINATOR
Tough! But I am the man! Every
woman has her language!

FOX
You just have to learn it! You'll
never get Fifi. She's hard as
nails!

BAPTIST
I think she hates men. All the
digging I've done, no one has seen
her with a love interest.

TERMINATOR
Leave her to me, hard as it seems,
it's just a matter of time.

BAPTIST
Which you don't have! You have 3
weeks to go son!
 51.

TERMINATOR
I'm frankly more worried about IFY.
She seems to have dropped off the
face of the earth. Everything was
fine one minute, the next minute,
she stopped taking my calls!

FOX
Playing you like a boss!

BAPTIST
She's a girl after my heart! I love
a woman who knows how to...

Terminator's phone rings. Her looks at the caller ID.

TERMINATOR
Shhhhh...hello?...good. How are
you?...I've been trying to
reach...now?...sure...I've
missed...

IFY VO
Hey Chuks, how are
you?...fabulous!...can we meet up
right away?...yes,I want to see
you...I'll text you the address

She hangs up while Terminator is still talking. He turns to

his friends.

TERMINATOR
Got to run guys, that was IFY!
Who's your daddy?

They all laugh as he picks his phone and keys.

TERMINATOR (CONTD)
Make yourselves comfortable.

Terminator leaves.

63 EXT. TERMINATOR'S PARKING LOT - DAY 63

Terminator heads towards his car. He sees Ejiro leaning on

it. He sighs.

EJIRO
Hey stranger!

TERMINATOR
Hi Ejiro. How are you?
 52.

EJIRO
Actually, not good. I need some
answers.

TERMINATOR
Can we pick this up later, I'm
running to a very important
meeting.

EJIRO
Never mind, it won't be long. If I
recall correctly, you said we
shouldn't see each other anymore?

TERMINATOR
Yes I did.

EJIRO
You said if it's God's will it will
happen?

Terminator nods.

EJIRO (CONTD)
Well, good news! I prayed about it,
and God said its his will! So what
next?

TERMINATOR
God has to talk to me too don't you
think. He has to make it clear to
me if it's his will.

EJIRO
(yelling)
Oh you didn't wait to hear from God
when you were sticking it in
yesterday did you? Did you stop
even for a second while you were
humping me to quickly ask God if it
was his will? what do you take me
for? a one night stand? I sure hope
that's not where you are going with
this cos you won't...

TERMINATOR
Ejiro, please don't make a scene.

EJIRO
It's ok baby, go for your meeting.
I don't know why I even bothered
with you! Looser!
 53.

She walks to her car, gets in and drives off leaving a

stunned Terminator.

64 EXT. OUTSIDE A HOUSE - DAY 64

Terminator parks hurriedly. He gets out of the car and walks

to the entrance. The door is slightly ajar. He pushes it
gently and goes in.

65 INT. GUEST HOUSE - AFTERNOON 65

Terminator enters the living room to see Ify in a nice

lingerie holding a glass of champagne. She has another glass
on a tray with the bottle. She picks it up as he comes in and
hands it to him.

IFY
Champagne?

TERMINATOR
Sure!

He takes it and drinks. She holds his hand and leads him
upstairs.

66 I/E. CAR - AFTERNOON 66

Ejiro drives furiously down the street. She gets a call and
answers.

EJIRO
Hello...yes?...oh hello
Pastor...I'm sorry I didn't come
for the meeting. Things have been a
little hectic...sure sir...thank
you.

67 INT. GUEST HOUSE BEDROOM - AFTERNOON 67

Ify and Terminator are hard at it humping away. They finish

and Ify rolls off him laughing.

TERMINATOR
It was that good huh?

IFY
Actually...no!

Terminator is stunned.
 54.

IFY (CONTD)
I thought I was missing something,
turns out I'm not. I really love my
husband! Loose my number.

She wraps a robe around herself and heads to the bathroom.

IFY (CONTD)
See yourself out.

She continues laughing as she heads to the toilet. Terminator

is speechless. He starts to pick up his clothes as scene
ends.

68 INT. CAFE - EVENING 68

Same day. Terminator is seated with Fifi. They are having

drinks and discussing his work. He's in a foul mood.

TERMINATOR
(flipping through pages)
Nope! nope! nope! it doesn't work!

TOMI
(Suppressing anger )
What doesn't work?

TERMINATOR
I don't know! Did you look at it?

TOMI
Some of the ones you just rejected
are the ones you said were
brilliant yesterday.

Terminator's phone rings. He looks at the caller ID. It's

Ejiro. He ignores it.

TOMI (CONTD)
You either pick your call or turn
off your phone. It's been ringing
non stop. Why don't you find out
what the person wants.

He stands up with the phone.

TERMINATOR
Excuse me.

He walks away from her and answers his call.

TERMINATOR (CONTD)
Hello...can you stop calling me?
 55.

He cuts the call and goes back to sit with Fifi still upset.

TOMI
I see you are not in a very good
mood and it's hard to work under
such circumstances so I suggest we
meet another time.

She gets up, packing her stuff as she speaks.

TERMINATOR
No it's ok. Let's go on.

TOMI
It's for the best. Let me know a
more convenient time.

She doesn't wait for his answer as she leaves. He sighs and
sits back exasperated.

69 INT. GYM - NIGHT 69

Terminator, Fox and Baptist are working out at the gym.

FOX
You are the man!

BAPTIST
After all that shakara, you still
chop am!

FOX
Again I say, You are the man!

TERMINATOR
(reassuring himself)
I am the man!

BAPTIST
So give us gist na, how did it
happen?

TERMINATOR
Not much to tell, I just went over,
worked my charm on her and before
you know it, we were at it.

FOX
So will you see her again?
 56.

TERMINATOR
Nah, I don't think so. It was just
to prove a point remember?
I just hope she doesn't get all
clingy and shit.

They keep talking and hailing him as scene ends.

70 INT. TOMI'S OFFICE - DAY 70

Terminator and Tomi at her office. They are discussing the

project.

TERMINATOR
I really like this one!

TOMI
(laughing)
You must have been in a foul mood
yesterday. this is one of the ones
you rejected!

TERMINATOR
I'm sorry about yesterday.

TOMI
It's ok. Tell me a little bit about
you. What's your life like?

TERMINATOR
(stunned at the
question)
Me? I am...em...I'm all about the
work. barely have time for anything
else.

TOMI
So no woman in your life?

TERMINATOR
Nope! I'm just focused on building
a life for myself. I believe when
it's the time, love will find me
and the right woman for me will
come even though I honestly think I
might have missed her. You know
what I mean? Don't you feel like
you might have missed someone
somewhere?

TOMI
I honestly don't let myself think
of past relationships.
(MORE)
 57.

TOMI (CONT'D)
I just move on. No regrets! Having
said that, I always meant to ask
you, what happened to us?

TERMINATOR
Gosh Fifi, I wish I had something
smart to say, but I don't. I was
young and I was a jerk!

TOMI
(laughing)
You bet you were!

TERMINATOR
All I can say at this point is, I'm
sorry.

TOMI
That's all you needed to say.
Anyway, our work here is done, so I
guess that's it.

TERMINATOR
That's it?

TOMI
I'll forward everything to you
tomorrow including the invoice for
the balance. Whenever you decide to
move to phase 3 of the project, you
can send a message to the technical
director. It was a pleasure.

TERMINATOR
I would like to see you again.

TOMI
(gathering her stuff)
I don't think that's a good idea.
see you around Chuks. take care.

TERMINATOR
Sure! You too.

Terminator watches her leave.

71 EXT. POOL - DAY 71

We see Tomi thrown up from the water. She and Terminator are
having fun in the pool.
 58.

72 INT. CAR - DAY 72

Tomi and Terminator driving, gisting and laughing

TOMI
I wish I didn't have to work
tomorrow but there's this project
that's giving me such a hard time.

TERMINATOR
Its Saturday tomorrow. You really
shouldn't be working.

TOMI
You know how I am with my work. I
have to go to the office tomorrow.

Terminator looks ahead without a word

73 INT. OMENE'S RESIDENCE - DAY 73

Omene is seated. Onome is facing him, afraid. He's in a foul

mood.

OMENE
Where were you?

ONOME
She sent me on an errand sir.

OMENE
And Kabir?

ONOME
He went with me sir. We were only
gone for a few minutes sir.

OMENE
I have video surveillance in that
apartment so don't lie to me.

ONOME
I'm sorry sir.

OMENE
You are fired!

ONOME
Sir?

OMENE
You are fired!
 59.

ONOME
Please sir, I need this job.

OMENE
Leave my sight!

She scurries out. Omene sits in contemplative silence.

74 INT. TOMI'S OFFICE - DAY 74

Tomi is seated in her office staring seriously at her

computer. Terminator walks in with a picnic basket and a
bright smile.

TOMI
Chuks! What are you doing here?

TERMINATOR
Pack up. We are leaving?

TOMI
To where? I'm working Chuks.

TERMINATOR
(Pulling her up!)
We are going on a picnic! You can't
be working on a Saturday. It's
unacceptable!

TOMI
I can't...I have to finish this...

TERMINATOR
(closing her laptop)
You will finish it later. Time for
fun!

TOMI
I didn't save my work...

TERMINATOR
Oops! Come on

He drags her out. She leaves with him reluctantly.

75 INT. GYM - NIGHT 75

Terminator, Fox and Baptist working out and discussing.

BAPTIST
You understand the implication of
this right?
 60.

Terminator doesn't answer.

FOX
You are going to loose your
investment in the farm because you
think you might have feelings for
her?

TERMINATOR
Yup!

BAPTIST
You are not thinking straight bro!
Does she even know you have
feelings for her?

TERMINATOR
Not yet.

FOX
So you are saying the bet is off?

TERMINATOR
If that's what it takes. I think
you guys are being a little unfair
though. The bet was about sleeping
with three women from my past. I
got two and I voluntarily decided
to let go of one not because I
can't get her.

BAPTIST
It doesn't matter that it was
voluntary. A bet is a bet and you
didn't meet your side of it!

FOX
So you didn't prove Okafor's law!

BAPTIST
So in essence, it's not a law, it's
just some stupid theory!

Baptist and Fox start laughing. Terminator gets upset and

walks out. He walks past someone on a treadmill wearing a
hoodie. She pushes her hoodie back a bit and wipes her face.
We see its Ejiro. She stops the treadmill and gets out her
phone. We see her type 'Okafor's Law'on Google. She squints
in anger as she reads.
 61.

76 INT. RESTAURANT - NIGHT 76

Terminator and Tomi are having a romantic dinner. Ejiro is on

another table stealing glances at them. Terminator kisses her
tenderly on the lips. Ejiro leaves blindly. She bumps into
Fred right by the door of the restaurant.

FRED
Hey! You just bumped into me. The
least you can say is sorry.

EJIRO
I'm sorry. I didn't see you. I'm
sorry.

She starts sobbing. He holds her and hides her face in his
shoulders, leading her out.

77 INT. TOMI'S OFFICE - DAY 77

Ejiro is in Tomi's office.

TOMI
You have got to be kidding me! He
couldn't have just had an affair
with you?

EJIRO
You don't believe me? Why would I
tell you this. I admit I still have
feelings for him which I'm working
on but I don't want you to be a
victim of his crap.

TOMI
How come he never once mentioned
you or anyone else for that matter.
So you think you can just walk in
here with some story of how you
cooked for him and did his
laundry...what are you expecting?
That I will get upset and end it
with him so he can go back into
your arms? Jeez! When will you
girls learn that more often than
not, the men don't end up with the
girls that slave for them! You can
cook for him and fraternize with
his family all you want. He's not
gonna end up with you! Have some
dignity!
 62.

EJIRO
I didn't want to bring this up
but...you are a bet he has going on
with Fox and Baptist.

TOMI
Are you that desperate?

EJIRO

Fine! Google Okafor's law and ask

him about it! Have a good day Miss!

Ejiro gets up and storms out.

78 EXT. CAR PARK - EVENING 78

Tomi gets into the passenger seat of Terminator's car and he

drives off.

79 I/E. CAR - EVENING 79

TERMINATOR
(smiling)
You are quiet Tomi, bad day?

TOMI
Tell me about Okafor's Law.

Terminator steps on the brakes. He parks the car. After a

quiet while.

TERMINATOR
Who told you?

TOMI
Does it matter who told me? All I
am to you is a bloody bet?

TERMINATOR
I can explain.

TOMI
Shove it!

She opens the door and gets out. Terminator gets out too. She
starts walking. Terminator gets to her and holds her.

TERMINATOR
Tomi please, give me a chance to
explain.
 63.

TOMI
If you don't leave me alone, I will
scream rape!

He leaves her and she stops a cab and gets in. He gets out
his phone from his pocket and dials.

TERMINATOR
Fox! Call Baptist. meet me at my
house now. Something came up!

He gets into his car and speeds off.

80 INT. TERMINATOR'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 80

Terminator is pacing. His friends come in promptly. He starts

yelling.

TERMINATOR
Is this how low you guys can get?
It's not enough that I'm giving you
my shares in the farm?

BAPTIST
What the heck are you talking
about?

TERMINATOR
As much as I believe holding on to
the bet is unfair, I'm letting my
shares go because I am a man of my
words but you guys had to ruin the
one thing in my life right now that
brings me joy.

FOX
Are you going to tell us what the
problem is or you want us to play
seven guesses.

BAPTIST
Cut the chase man! What's eating
you up?

TERMINATOR
Who told Tomi about Okafor's law?

FOX
What?

BAPTIST
You are kidding right?
 64.

TERMINATOR
You better start talking cos I'm
about to rip someone's head off
their shoulders.

FOX
I have no idea what you are talking
about. Why would we tell her?

TERMINATOR
Well she knows and we are the only
three people who know about the bet
and I didn't tell her so one of you
did.

BAPTIST
Jezz bro, this is absurd! We would
never do a thing like that!

As they speak, a text comes on Terminator's phone. He quickly

looks at it. It's from Ejiro. He's disappointed but he reads
it. 'I'm guessing Tomi knows about Okafor's law and she
doesn't want you anymore. I know it's stupid but I don't care
about the bet. I'm in love with you'.

TERMINATOR
Oh my word! It's Ejiro!

BAPTIST
What?

TERMINATOR
Ejiro told Fifi about the bet!

FOX
How the heck did she know?

TERMINATOR
I've had this weird feeling of
being watched for some time. I have
to get Fifi back.

FOX
The bet is off though. I mean
Okafor's law actually...

TERMINATOR
It's not about the freaking bet! I
don't give a damn about the stupid
law!!! I just want the girl! I
haven't been this happy in years.

BAPTIST
We'll help you bro. Calm down.
 65.

81 INT. TOMI'S OFFICE - DAY 81

Tomi is in her office. Terminator's call comes through. She

ignores it.

82 INT. CAR - DAY 82

Tomi driving. Terminator calls. She ignores it.

83 INT. RESTAURANT - NIGHT 83

Tomi is moving her food around the plate. Her phone rings.
It's an unknown number. She answers it.

TOMI
Hello?

BAPTIST VO
Hi Tomi...this is Baptist.

TOMI
What do you want?

BAPTIST
Don't hang up. Chuks is miserable.
He needs to see you to explain.

TOMI
There's nothing to explain.

BAPTIST
Could you please hold on a second?

TERMINATOR
Tomi please, I need to see you. I
need to explain to you.

Tomi cuts the call and pushes the food away from her.

84 INT. TOMI'S OFFICE - DAY 84

Tomi's secretary hands her flowers. She sees the note from
Terminator and she trashes the flowers.

One month later...

85 INT. TERMINATOR'S LIVING ROOM - DAY 85

Terminator comes down the stairs nonchalantly. We can hear

someone opening the door. He looks unkempt.
 66.

The apartment is in a bad state. His mom come in. She doesn't
say a word as she goes in. She takes in the state of the
living room and starts picking things up. She heads to the
kitchen with dirty dishes and empty bottles. She returns to
pick up more stuff. Terminator just stands. He makes to sit.

MOM
Go and take a bath and shave that
forest off your face. You stink!

TERMINATOR
Mom I...

TOMI
Go get cleaned up.

TERMINATOR
Sure.

He goes up as his mom continues cleaning.

86 INT. TERMINATOR'S LIVING ROOM - DAY 86

His mom is seated watching tv. The apartment is clean.

Terminator comes down. He's clean shaven and dressed.

MOM
What's your story?

TERMINATOR
Nothing mom

MOM
If you don't start talking this
minute, a slap will land on your
face or you think you are too old
to be beaten?

TERMINATOR
No Ma, it's just...

MOM
You are heartbroken? Fool! Did I
bring you up to be a weakling? You
are here pining away for a woman
who doesn't want you!

TERMINATOR
Who told you...

MOM
Your friends were worried about
you.
(MORE)
 67.

MOM (CONT'D)
You won't take their calls, you
stopped going to the farm and you
won't open the door when they come
here!

TERMINATOR
I just wanted to be left alone!

MOM
To die? Are you the man who thinks
he's in love with a woman who
doesn't want him? What makes you
think she's the one for you?

TERMINATOR
Mom, I know what I feel for her.

MOM
Really? So now that she doesn't
want you, life ends? What happened
to the beautiful young woman I met
here? The Urhobo girl.

TERMINATOR
Who? Ejiro?

MOM
Yes...

TERMINATOR
Nah, mom, Ejiro is crazy!

MOM
Yes, crazy about you! Why are
people so foolish! You are dying
for the one playing hard to get yet
love is staring you in the
face...hoping...begging for you to
give them a closer look.
(standing up)
I'm off. Fix your life son.

She leaves. Terminator just sits there staring, lost. After a

few moments, there's a loud knock on the door. He stands up
and heads to the door to open it.

TERMINATOR
Mom, did you forget your key?

The door is shoved open and he almost falls from the force.
Mr Omene comes in with two guys. Terminator is startled.

TERMINATOR (CONTD)
Who are you? What do you want?
 68.

OMENE
(to his guys)
Grab two of those dining chairs and
bring them here.

The guys hurriedly bring the chairs.

OMENE (CONTD)
Sit!

TERMINATOR
I beg your pardon, you can't just
force your way into my house and
order me around. If you don't leave
now, I will call the police

OMENE
I said sit!

The guys walk towards Terminator menacingly. He quickly sits.

Mr Omene sits on the other chair opposite him.

OMENE (CONTD)
My name is Chief Omene. I believe
you know me.
(to his guys)
Wait outside. My good friend and I
have some business to discuss.

His guys hurriedly leave. They shut the door behind them.

TERMINATOR
Sir, whatever this is about, I
promise you I know nothing about
it.

OMENE
Why don't you hear me out first.
Let me tell you a story. Seven
years ago, I met a young girl.
Fresh out of university. She was
tall, beautiful and in many ways,
innocent. I fell hopelessly in love
with her because she was such a
sweet girl. You see I had lost my
wife five years before and no woman
could hold my attention for more
than two hours. But she was
different. I couldn't get enough of
her. I knew I had to keep her so I
married her. By Nigerian standards,
I am rich but my wife is my most
prized possession. So you see why I
guard her jealously.
(MORE)
 69.

OMENE (CONT'D)
Somehow, you little demon, found a
way to get to her!

TERMINATOR
(standing up)
Sir, I don't know what you are
talking about. I don't know your
wife

OMENE
(standing and
thundering)
Shut up! in short digwe!

TERMINATOR
Sir?

OMENE
On your knees! You had the guts to
shag my wife?!!!

TERMINATOR
Me? Sir, you are mistaken...

OMENE
Don't insult my intelligence young
man. You think I will come here on
an assumption? It's ok. You want
her right? Let's fight for her.
Whoever wins, gets her.

Terminator stares dumbfounded

OMENE (CONTD)
Stand up! You are a man! Let's
fight for the woman we both want.

TERMINATOR
Sir, I don't want her.

OMENE
You are going to make me upset. You
don't want her yet you shagged her?
You dey craze? Come look me well o!
I wasn't always rich! I be Waffi!
Brought up on the streets and you
know say we nor dey carry last. E
be like say you nor ask of me. If I
kpokpo you today, your eye go neat!
You look everywhere na my wife naim
you kpench? Your father!

Omene lands a blow on Terminator's ribs. Terminator doubles

in pain.
 70.

TERMINATOR
I'm sorry sir. I didn't mean any
trouble.

OMENE
Too late! Fight me! You are young
and strong. I'm a much older man.
Come on, fight me... You either
fight me or I call my guys to give
you the beating of your life.

He throws another punch Terminator's way. Terminator

reluctantly starts fighting him. Omene is obviously stronger.
He beats Terminator up. He stops when terminator is writhing
in pain on the floor.

OMENE (CONTD)
I guess I get to keep the girl
then. This is just a friendly
warning. If I see you anywhere near
my wife, your mother will go
childless to her grave! Have a good
day young man.

Omene leaves. Terminator is still writhing on the floor.

87 EXT. TERMINATOR'S PARKING LOT - DAY 87

Mr Omene walks to his car. His guys Jump up. One opens the
door for him. He goes in and they drive off.

88 INT - TERMINATOR'S LIVING ROOM - DAY 88

Terminator is in pain on the floor. He's badly bruised. He

hears a knock on the door. He's in too much pain to answer.
The knocking persists. The door opens and Ejiro comes in.
She's shocked to see him on the floor. She rushes to him.

EJIRO
Chucks! What happened to you?

TERMINATOR
Ejiro what are you doing here?

EJIRO
Your mom called me and said you
were ill. I was actually quite
shocked to hear from her. This
looks bad. What happened?

TERMINATOR
Robbers!
 71.

EJIRO
Oh lord! When? How? Did you call
the police?

TERMINATOR
I can't talk. It's ok. They won't
come back.

EJIRO
Should I take you to the hospital?

TERMINATOR
No. Just help me upstairs to bed.

EJIRO
Ok. Come on. I brought some pepper
soup. That should make you feel
better.

TERMINATOR
Thank you.

She helps him up and gently leads him to his room.

room.

OMENE
Princess

Ify stops. She doesn't move nor speak.

OMENE (CONTD)
Come

She walks to him. Scared. She stops in front of him. He pulls

her to him in a tight hug. She starts sobbing.

IFY
I'm sorry.
 72.

OMENE
I forgive you. I'm not perfect, we
are both imperfect but our love is
perfect. I'm sorry for cutting you
off since I found out.

IFY
(still sobbing)
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I love
you. I swear I love you...

OMENE
I know. I love you too.

He kisses her passionately as scene ends.

91 INT. BAPTIST APARTMENT - NIGHT 91

Kamsi is spread out on the couch reading a mag. Baptist comes

in.

BAPTIST
Hey lover.

KAMSI
Hey hun

He leans in to kiss her and sits beside her.

BAPTIST
Good day?

KAMSI
Could be better. Yours?

BAPTIST
Exhausted! What's for dinner?

KAMSI
Actually, I was waiting for you to
get back. I'm starving but I'm just
so tired. I was hoping you could
fix dinner today plus the dishes
from last night are still in the
kitchen.

BAPTIST
Babe, I just got back from work!
It's been a crazy day. I can't fix
dinner and do the dishes...
 73.

KAMSI
You know who I saw today? My cousin
Kalu. Guess who was with him, that
slut of a wife that slept with
Terminator. I was so tempted to
just tell him the whole...

BAPTIST
I'll order dinner and just do the
dishes.

KAMSI
That works. I don't mind Japanese
food. Thanks Hun, you are the best.

Baptist heads to the kitchen with a frown. Kali's just smiles

and goes back to her magazine.

Ejiro and Fred are driving and singing along to a Nigerian

oldie. They look happy. She gets a text on her phone. Its
from Terminator. It reads...'Please come quick. It's urgent'.
She frowns. Puzzled.

EJIRO
You have to take me to my friend's
place. I think something might have
happened to him.

FRED
Really? Where?

EJIRO
Lekki phase 1. I'll describe it.

They make a U turn and zoom off.

93 EXT. TERMINATOR'S PARKING LOT HOME - NIGHT 93

They pull up in front of Terminator's house. Ejiro gets off.

EJIRO
Please wait in the car. Hopefully,
I'll just be a minute.

She knocks for a while and opens the door. She enters.

94 INT. TERMINATOR'S LIVING ROOM - DAY 94

Ejiro looks round the empty living room and call out.

EJIRO
Chuks?

TERMINATOR VO
In here!

Ejiro walks to the bedroom.

95 INT. TERMINATOR'S BEDROOM. - DAY 95

Ejiro enters the bedroom to see Terminator looking well,

sitting on his bed. He stands up to hug her.

EJIRO
What is it?

TERMINATOR
I just had to see you.

EJIRO
This is s joke right? Nothing is
wrong?

TERMINATOR
We have to talk.

EJIRO
About what?

TERMINATOR
Everything. Thank you for taking
care of me the other time but I'm
sorry I can't...

EJIRO
This is ridiculous! You brought me
here to talk about stuff I have put
behind me? Oh...you think I took
care of you in hopes that we would
get back together? Nah...I've moved
on. I did what any friend would do.
You don't have to be sorry. I'm in
a good place now. Bye

He pulls her back.

TERMINATOR
Please just hear me out.
 75.

EJIRO
No! My friend brought me and I
don't want to keep him waiting in
the car.

TERMINATOR
Please.

She stops and crosses her arms.

TERMINATOR (CONTD)
First of all, I wish I could tell
you there was never any bet. I wish
I could say you were not chosen to
prove the potency of Okafor's law
but you already know you were.

EJIRO
I can't deal with this Chuks, I
just can't. You've hurt me more
than anyone in my life. what am I
saying? It's all my fault. I should
have known better than to trust a
guy who broke my heart in Uni for
no reason.

TERMINATOR
I'm sorry Ejiro.

EJIRO
I felt so stupid! How could I have
been deceived by the same man
twice?

TERMINATOR
I'm so sorry. If it's any
consolation, I called off the bet
and lost some of my shares in the
farm.

EJIRO
What farm?

TERMINATOR
My friends, the other Chuks and I
recently started a farm. The bet
was made on some of shares of the
farm.

EJIRO
You used your share of a business
for a stupid bet to get some women
to sleep with you? Are you that
shallow?
 76.

TERMINATOR
I guess I was but all that is in
the past now. I admit that I saw
women solely as a conquest to prove
my strength as a man until the
events of the last few weeks. I've
been childish looking for love in
the wrong places. I guess I was
also too stupid to realize love was
staring me in the face the whole
time. What I'm trying to say is, I
know you are crazy but I love you
Ejiro

He leans in to kiss her. She hesitates a little but then

gives in and kisses him back. She pulls back.

EJIRO
I still have feelings for you
obviously but I can't do this to
myself...not a 3rd time. Bye Chuks.

She turns and walks out.

TERMINATOR
Ejiro...

He hangs his head dejectedly

THE END

96 INT. MAI ATAFO'S STUDIO - DAY 96

Ejiro walks out of the dressing room. The three Chuks' clap
excitedly.

BAPTIST
I thought you were not meant to see
the bride's dress before the
wedding!

TERMINATOR

Fred walks in at that point. He sees Ejiro.

FRED
Ejiro! Wow! It's been a while and
you look amazing!

EJIRO
Oh hi Fred, what are you doing
here?

FRED
Came to pick up my suit. I see you
are getting married!

EJIRO
Yes I am. Meet my fianc Chuks,
Chuks, my ex Fred.

FRED
Nice to meet you Chuks but my guy,
it's bad luck to see the wedding
gown before the day!

TERMINATOR
(irritated)
What is this? where do you people
get this nonsense myths from?

FRED
Oh sorry. Got to go. See you around
Ejiro. Take care and don't be a
stranger

TERMINATOR
What?! Dude! Come back here! She's
not seeing you around anywhere!

They all burst out laughing!

EJIRO
Got ya! Fred is not my ex. He's
just a friend. There's no Okafor's
law here!

Fred gives Terminator a hug and a pat on the back.

FRED
Happy married life bro! One love.

They all go on laughing as Terminator joins in the joke.
