(light buzzing)

(upbeat music)

- Yeah, of course.

Of course, I'm getting married to him.

Who else would I be getting married to?

You have to come, get on the next flight.

Girl, if you don't come...

Okay. (door opening)

Oh, let me call you back, okay?

All right.

Hi daddy.

- Princess.

- Do you have another number for a tailor?

- What happened to Mama Abigail?

- Apparently there's too many people

getting married this month

and she said she's too busy.

- Did you tell her you're from me?

- No, why?

- You don't know anything.

People work based on names.

- Dad, she said she's busy.

- Lemme have that phone.

- Hello Mama Abigail,

this is Tunde Adelana.

Yes, the same Tunde Adelana.

(laughs)

My daughter is getting married very soon

and she said that you are too busy to help her

sew her clothes.

Oh!

(speaking in foreign language)

She didn't tell you she was from me.

Okay, hold on for her.

Talk to her.

- Hello?

Hi, yes, this is Princess.

I came by earlier.

Yeah, I can come back this evening.

Okay that's great, thank you.

Okay, bye.

Thanks, Dad.

- Done?

- Yep, done.

- Good.

- So, you still busy?

- Yup, still busy.

- All right, well see me as soon as you finish?

- Okay, Dad, thank you.

(lively music)

- Toun.

Toun.

Toun.

Psst

- Dare, I'm busy!

- Toun, Toun, here's this.

- What is this supposed to be, some kind of bribe?

- Not unless you accept bribes.

Toun, please.

Don't make me come over there and kneel down.

You know, there's more, okay, I'll take you to lunch.

Anything you want.

- Lunch?

'Cause I'm some kind of cheap girl?

- [Dare] No.

It's cause I'm a broke guy, whose made this terrible

mistake with his friend and I am desperately trying

to make up for it.

- Fine.

(bags rustle)

- How is the preparation going?

- How am I supposed to know?

You and Dad seem to have taken over the whole thing.

- No, I mean from...

From your friend's aunt.

- My friend?

- Mm hm.

- Which friend, Mom?

- The boy you are marrying now.

- Would it kill you to call him my husband, or my fiance?

- Marry him first.

- I have.

(phone vibrates)

- Hello?

Hi.

Fine, who's this?

Olu?

Oh, Olu, yes.

Sorry I didn't have your number saved in my phone.

Today?

(Laughs) I'm sure.

Yeah, sure thing.

Okay, cool.

(doorbell rings)

- Eddie!

- Sup, Eze.

- What's up, bro?

- I'm good.

Wow, what's the occasion?

- I have a date.

- You have a date?

- Is your cousin around?

- You're going on a date with my cousin?

- Guy, relax, relax, I have a date and is your cousin

around, those are two different things.

- I don't like how you've been eyeing my cousin.

- Man, forget.

I'm going on a date with my babe.

- Now my house going to be the date?

- No, no, no, no.

I need your car.

- Eze, it is not going to happen.

- Remember what you taught me?

Rule number something, something: If you don't have money,

attach yourself to someone who does.

- Eze, first of all, pretty sure that's not what I told you.

And secondly, Eze, you don't even have license.

- Ah, forget license. (speaking foreign language)

I mean it just a piece of plastic.

Driving is in the heart, bro.

I mean what's the worst that can happen?

- What's the worst that can happen?

Lemme tell you what can happen.

You could get in an accident, you could die,

and then you could wreck my car.

- God forbid (speaks in foreign language)

Well first of all, I'm going to ignore the fact

that you just lightly hinted that your, car is here

and my life, is here, I'll ignore that.

Second of all, I'm just going down the street.

It's not far.

Guy, just relax, relax.

Trust me, nothing will happen to your car.

I'm going to drive very carefully,

very slowly, pay attention.

I'll give you your car in good condition.

Don't worry, no shaking, Eddie Ed.

(keys jingle)

Give me now.

(laughs) Thank you, sir, you are a real G.

I'll see you later.

(upbeat music)

(tires screech)

- So, I get a card, a gift bag, and lunch.

But she gets the wedding ring?

Well come to think about it, I think I got the better deal.

Are things going to get awkward between us now?

- I hope not.

- (tongue clicks) So, how's it going?

- It's been crazy.

You see, we got married

in the eyes of the law, but not in the eyes of her mother.

- I know, she was really scary.

- She thinks that I married her daughter for papers.

- Did you?

- You know, I can't even answer that truthfully.

I mean, it helped, I was running out of status.

- I mean, I'm running out of status too.

- But, you didn't marry an American guy for your papers.

- No--

- No, I get it, I get it, you have every right

to feel morally superior.

- No, that's not what I meant.

That just didn't come out the right way.

Look, I appreciate that you're honest with me.

And I like the fact that you've always been honest with me.

But I was very pissed off you did not tell me

that you got married.

- I'm sorry.

(slow piano music)

- So, where is this?

- Have you eaten?

- Not yet.

- Okay, well it's a surprise.

- Okay.

- Oh, before I forget.

I got you something.

- A bag?

- (Laughs) Look inside the bag.

- Okay.

- And yes, you can keep the bag as well.

- Aw, thank you!

Oh, wow, you went all out!

How you know it's gonna fit?

- 32, 27, 36.

I take the time to look.

- And here I was thinking that

we were in a platonic relationship.

- Can't help myself, you're just so gorgeous.

So, you ready to go eat?

- Yeah, lets go eat.

(gentle jazz music)

Well, yes, actually, my first year,

I could not have a date out.

Thank you.

- You're welcome. - That is so sweet of you.

So, this place?

- Yeah, it's been a minute since I've been here.

- Oh really, you come here often?

- Hi, how are you?

- [Olu] Good, how are you?

- [Waitress] Fine, been a minute.

- [Olu] Yeah, it has, how you been?

- [Waitress] Fine, thank you, your usual?

- Yeah, definitely.

- Hi. - Hi.

You seem popular around here.

- (Laughs) Well I wouldn't say that.

[Dare] You know what...

- Let's skip work.

- Okay, where do you want to go?

- I don't know, where do you want to go?

- I don't know where do you want to go?

- You know, you've always had this indecision problem.

You know that, right?

- How do I have an indecision problem?

You're the one that said we should skip work.

And If I was the one that said lets skip work,

I would have somewhere to go.

But you're the one that said it,

and you have no where to go.

How do you peel an orange when you have not

finished eating the orange you're already peeling?

- You sound exactly like my father, that is so wrong.

- And he sounds like a very, very wise man.

- Whatever.

- Speaking of your father, is he coming for your wedding?

- No, he isn't.

He says he wants me to come get married at home.

- Well, that's not going to happen.

So, do you have like...

an uncle or relative somewhere

that can stand in place of your father?

What?

- You know, I didn't even think about it.

I have an uncle in Baltimore, he can always fly in.

- What was your plan before?

Let's go, let's just go.

Listen to wise people like me and your father.

(laughs)

Let's go.

- [Princess] So, how do I look?

- Wow.

- Are you speechless or is it that bad?

- No, no, no, you look absolutely amazing.

- Thank you.

- So, do you want anything to eat?

- Yeah, actually, let me see.

- May I suggest, Nigerian Jollof and Moi moi?

- Yeah sure, I have that at home all the time.

- Not like this.

- And what makes this special?

- They practically have a Nigerian kitchen back there.

- Okay.

- Tool for tool, they don't use gas, straight earth oven.

- And the difference is?

- Do you think that gas will hold the flavor

of Nigerian Jollof.

- Sure.

- No, never, it would kill it.

- Okay, and you're the expert of African cuisine?

- No, I'm just...

Okay look, I just like to stay connected, okay?

You know, I like to know where I'm from.

And that's the way I stay connected.

- Okay.

- I like to eat Nigerian food when I can,

wear Nigerian clothes when I can.

I'm just deeply rooted to a culture, to the rich culture.

- Yes, sir.

- You know the old saying?

A tree that doesn't know his roots--

- Will dry up.

- Yeah that's it.

- I like this.

- What?

Buildings?

- No.

This.

Us.

This moment.

- Yeah, feels like something we should have done

a long time ago, right?

Something we were too afraid to do, I guess.

- I was never afraid, why were you afraid?

Come down to your level. (laughs)

- Touche.

Want to know the truth?

- Yeah.

- I was afraid of what could happen.

- I'm so confused.

- Look, I never wanted to be in the position

where I had to choose between you

and the option to stay.

- What are you talking about?

- You're running out of status.

I'm running out of status.

What really could have happened between us?

- What does our residency have to do

with us being in a relationship?

- Okay no, let's just explore it for a second, okay?

We both start something, it's working really well.

All right?

And then one day one of us wakes up

at Murtala International Airport.

- So, Princess is your way out?

- No.

Falling in love with her doesn't come

with the consequences of this, falling in love with you.

We're kind of bad for each other.

- Is that what you say to console yourself?

- No, but at least...

at least this way,

we can both figure out a solution, individually.

Toun.

Toun, don't be like that.

(laughing)

- Wow!

No, but I'm definitely coming back here.

- See, I told you.

- But, I give them like 90%.

- What happened to the other 10?

- Well, your friend kept giving me the stink eye

when she was serving us so, that's where it went.

- Don't even worry about that, you know?

- I am worried though.

- Why?

- What was that for?

- Well, maybe its because of your accent.

- What's my accent have to do with it?

- I don't know, maybe they think that

we're not Nigerian enough.

- Oh, so she's vetting me out?

- I wouldn't say that, but maybe.

- Okay.

- But I do have one more surprise for you.

- Another surprise?

- I do.

- Okay.

- Come on, let's go. - Right now?

- Yeah, right now.

- Okay, let's go, okay, let's do it.

(singing in foreign language)

- Hey, hey, bros, bros please, I need my ticket.

- Oh, you have a car?

- What do you mean do I have a car?

Yes, I have a car.

I just parked the car not too long ago.

- No, so if you have a car then you need a ticket, sir.

- But, you not give me any ticket.

- [Valet] Then you don't have a car.

- What do you mean I don't have a car?

You don't remember my face?

I just parked here, just, not even 10 minutes ago.

- If you have a car, then you need a ticket.

If you don't have a ticket, then you don't have a car, sir.

- You forgot it, I drove the car like this.

Then I put it in park, then I turn off the car.

Then I give you the key, I said my brother,

please help me keep my car.

I asked for ticket, you did not give it to me,

so what do you mean where's my ticket.

I don't have ticket because you don't give me anything.

- Sir, have you been drinking?

- I have not been drinking anything.

Just give me my ticket, I park my car here

you don't want to give me ticket,

you ask me, have I been drinking?

- Anyways, If you can talk to me about something

maybe we can talk about this.

- So, you're looking at me from head to toe,

all the money on me is calculated,

all the money I'm going to spend inside

the restaurant is, even to the water I'm going to drink,

Everything is calculated.

If I spend one dollar out of it, my brother.

I die, I die.

Might as well just kill me.

- So as you crack like this not a deal, buddy.

- Ah brosi!

Yes, my brother!

My brother, give me my ticket.

(upbeat music drowns out speakers)

Forget story, just give me my ticket.

(upbeat music) (singing in foreign language)

- Wow!

See, I feel like I'm in Nigeria!

- How would you know, you've never been?

- I know, but I imagine it would be exactly like this.

- Why is that?

- I mean, can't you feel it, the energy?

- Yeah, I feel it, I feel it.

Look over there!

- Oh yeah, look at that!

- We lit, we lit.

- Yo, this place is modeled just like the clubs

back in the 90s in Nigeria.

You know, they got everything accurate to the tee.

The dressing, the ambience, the music.

- Wow, this place it amazing!

I never knew places like this existed.

- Well, I'm a curator.

- Wow.

I lived in the city for a year

and I didn't know a place like this existed.

- Well, you only see what you want to see.

- You want to dance?

- Yeah, yeah, let's do it.

(muffled Nigerian music)

- Actually, I think I'm going to take a cab and go home.

- You sure you don't want to check out this place?

Looks like it's going to be fun.

- I'm just kind of not in the mood anymore.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- [Princess] You got moves!

- Yeah something like that, something like that.

- I actually did not expect that.

- When that music comes on I turn into a different person.

- I saw, I saw!

I'm really impressed.

- Thank you.

- Olu, why is my mother calling you?

- This Henny is crazy.

- Olu, why is my mother calling you?

- I don't know, maybe she wants to check on you?

- She set you up didn't she?

I should have known.

- Princess, wait!

- You lied, Olu!

- Okay, I'll be honest, here.

I wasn't honest this whole time.

But that doesn't mean we don't have chemistry.

- I'm married.

- What does that mean?

You know it, your mom knows it, I know it.

We have chemistry, okay?

- There is no chemistry, my mother told you

everything about me.

My measurements, what I like, everything!

- Okay, maybe she did.

But, everything we talked about,

everything that we...

did was real.

- I have to go.

- Princess.

Dammit.
