- Dare did I tell you I run into your uncle

in DC two days ago?

- No sir you didn't.

- Mmh, what a gentleman your uncle is.

- It runs in the family sir.

- You know I think you should do this more often

because you young ones need as much guidance as possible.

- Oh no, it's okay Ma we have enough guidance as it is.

- What is that supposed to mean?

- Uh

I mean, you gave birth to such a beautiful young wOmahn

and you raised her into an amazing person.

Besides just watching how you and Daddy relate

is enough guidance for the both of us.

- You can take that to the banks.

(laughs)

- [Server] You all ready here?

- Yes, um.

- Are you going to embarrass the little ones

by paying the bills.

- Oh yeah, mom's right dad, it's fine.

- And you, what have I been teaching you?

Are you going to distress (speaks foreign language)

- It's okay mom.

- Shut up, are you not a Yoruba girl?

- It's okay, I will, I will get that.

Uh, here.

- [Server] All right.

I'm sorry, card declined.

- Are you sure?

- [Server] I'm certain.

Do you want to try another one, maybe?

- Yes I let's see, (nervously laughs)

You can try this one.

- [Server] Okay, I got it.

- You know sometimes these banks, their network fails.

- [Server] I'm sorry, declined again.

- Don't worry, just take this.

- [Server] This one works, here we go, thank you.

- Thank you Daddy.

- That's okay.

- Thank you sir.

- Mm hmm.

- I just don't understand why you have to overreact

to everything.

- I'm overreacting?

Your mother tries to humiliate me

at every opportunity she gets and I'm overreacting?

- Then why don't you take it out on her huh?

Why do I keep getting your wrath?

- Are you trying to say that I'm not man enough

to confront your mother?

- Oh please, that's not what I'm saying.

- Princess, do not dismiss this.

What does she want from me?

When is this going to stop?

- I just think you're overreacting.

- You're obviously in cohorts with her.

- I married you.

- So should I thank you for your service

because of that?

(door slams)

- I think we just need to take a break

after everything that's happened this week.

- You know this isn't even about us.

It's about your--

- My mother, I know but she hasn't always been like this

Dare, she hasn't always been at my throat like this.

Baby, can we just be husband and wife again.

- (snickers) So how was work today?

- So, do you really want me to tell you all the details

or is this just small talk?

- If I said small talk how many days

would I be grounded for?

- Days, honey, it could be weeks.

(laughs) Months.

- Then why did you give me the original choice?

- Well if I give you the details

you might not be able to eat your dinner.

- Oh, go, go, go stop that.

I'm a naija boy oh, don't underestimate me oh.

- Okay, naija boy oh, all right, well

this morning a wOmahn rushed into ER

and her head was decapitated.

- Mmm mmm mmm, no stop it.

- What? - No, stop, stop.

Okay, no. - No?

- It's okay, okay. - You can't take it?

- No, no it's fine.

- I see, okay.

And then I got home and he was there

can you imagine he was there waiting for me (laughs).

- Babe, I thought we locked this door

before we went out.

- Yeah, yeah I did, I locked it myself.

- Are you going to enter the house or not?

- Good evening Mom.

- Mom, what's this?

- Is it a crime to visit my daughter again?

- How did you even get in here?

- I have the spare key.

Half of my money's in this house

and I think I can move in if I so desire.

- Mom, do you want to destroy my marriage?

Is that what you want?

Do you hate Dare so much that you refuse to see

that I'm suffering too?

- Princess I was just in the neighborhood

and I decided to come check up on you.

I don't see how that is a crime.

Okay, (zips purse) I see.

- I'll leave you.

- Princess, you will have your mother return

the extra key or else I'm moving out of this house.

If she likes, she can have it.

- Don't make this seem like this is my fault too.

- That's what I'm going to say about that.

Now why haven't you signed these forms?

- I signed all the forms.

- Except the one that's most important,

my employment authorization form.

- I thought your immediate concern is not being deported.

- Without it I can't work.

- Yeah, but I'm working and I have enough money

saved up for the both of us.

- God forbid.

- What's the problem?

- You want me to be at home while you go to work?

- Yes, but not forever.

- Bullshit, how long?

- Just until we've settled down.

Babe, if we both start working we're going to be overwhelmed

with work and we won't have enough time for each other

and it's just--

- Why do I have to be the one not working.

- First of all, I earn a lot more

than you will ever earn and--

I didn't mean it like that.

I'm already working Dare.

- You know what?

You sound exactly like your mother.

- Don't give me that.

- She put you up to this didn't she?

- She's the reason why you're not signing this form.

- Dare, not every problem you have is my mother's fault

and I'm tired of making it seem

like she's the evil person here.

- Jennifer my baby, did you enjoy the night?

- Oh yeah, it was magical babe.

- That's the Black Panther in me.

- (laughs) Well then Wakanda forever.

- Wakanda forever.

This is amazing, hey Jennifer, I cannot believe that

a girl such as beautiful as yourself

will live in this big house all alone, heh?

- Here it comes huh?

- I don't understand how you did it oh but

I have an idea.

- Do you? - Yes, you will love it.

I promise.

How about I move in here with you?

- I don't think that'll really be a good idea.

- Why not?

I move in here, me and you together forever.

- This isn't fun.

You're ruining--

Can you just go make some breakfast.

- I'm not ruining anything, it's time to plan our future.

- Less talking more bacon.

- Oh you want bacon, how many do you want?

- Four, - You want four?

- I'm hungry.

- You're hungry, so if I give you five,

will you let me move in here?

- I'll think about it.

- (squeals) You'll think about it, okay.

I'm coming, I'm coming oh.

- Thank you.

(low afro-beat)

(knocks on door)

- So how has life been without me?

- If I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

- How is married life?

- Definitely not as glossy as the magazines

paint it out to be.

- Who woulda thought?

- So

There is a certain topic that we've been

skirting around for a while now.

- What topic?

- Ton what happened the other night?

- What other night?

- Come on now, you know what I'm talking about.

The night before my wedding.

The night that I slept here.

- Oh

- Oh?

- I mean what do you think happened?

- I don't know, I mean I was waiting for my shirt to dry.

We had a couple of drinks, maybe more.

And then next thing I know I wake up beside you in bed.

- And you think we...

- Yeah.

- Dare, if we did it,

you will not forget it for the rest of your life, okay.

Let's take a walk, cool.

- Really?

- Yes.

(slow piano)

- How is that your Bobo?

- Which Bobo?

- The one I met the other day

Peter the thoughtful guy.

What you don't want to talk about it?

- There's nothing to really talk about.

- I don't know there's not,

there's not much going on there.

- Right.

- There isn't.

- That's not what it looked like.

- He's,...

(laughs)

I don't know how to say it.

It's not the same.

It's not, it's not the same.

(pats bench)

Do you really think I like Peter?

Come on, there's only one person I'm obviously into

and you should know who.

Dare, I love you.

I know it's stupid, I know it is

but I do, I love you.

- Tonya.

- I know, I know you're married

and I know you're with somebody else

and I didn't say that so that you can do anything about it.

I just said it so it can be on record that I said it.

Besides, Peter's only there to help me

with my visa.

- How?

- He's going to marry me.

Why are you looking like that?

You're married.

What do you expect me to just sit around and wait forever?

Dare come on, I can't sit here, keep playing a substitute

wife to you.

(photo snaps)

Um, what was that for?

- I'm sorry.

You're right, this can't work.

I can't make you my substitute wife.

That would be really selfish of me.

- Dare are you saying goodbye?

Dare, you bring me here.

You're all nice to me and you kiss me

only to say goodbye?

Dare, Dare? (cries)

He's already signed the marriage certificate.

All that's left to do is for me to sign it

and once I sign it we're done.

(slaps thighs)

- I can, I can keep the kidney right, right?

- I took him, I knew this boy is a fraud

but they won't listen to me, now see.

- I thought he was your son?

- God forbid this could be my son.

- I see, so he was your husband.

(speaks foreign language)

take.

- Well um, Ms. Lara was there anything else you need

I'm always-- - Nope, thank you.

(drum roll)

(jazz music)

- Now we get to play slap the monkey.

- Who is the monkey?

- You are silly, put that around your eyes.

- I get to slap you every time you miss the target.

- Oh, what is this I'm tired of all this

Everyday you want to play like a wild animal.

Let's get straight to the point and do the do.

Huh, today you want to play slap the monkey,

tomorrow it's strangle the bull, what is this?

Animal planet?

- Can you stop acting like a baby this is foreplay.

- It's rubbish foreplay, at this rate of this

The next thing now you'll say is kill the ape.

I don't like all this rubbish huh?

- Babe, babe.

- Shit, shit, shit, my husband, my husband's home.

- Husband, you did not tell me you have husband.

- That doesn't matter now, we are dead,

He is a seal.

- There you go. - Hey, babe.

- I don't know I'm just surprised I wasn't expecting you

for another week.

- What is all this?

- I was trying to fix the piping in the room.

I was looking on YouTube you know had to pull out

all the tools, I didn't know which one to use.

You've got to be hungry.

You want me to fix you something?

- I'm super tired, yes.

Why don't you get up and make me some food.

- I can, why don't you go take a shower,

and take these clothes off

- You did what?

- Oh really?

Are you going to fight that?

Are you not seeing the pictures?

Princess, this justifies all I have been saying

about that boy.

It confirms what I feel deep in my heart

that that boy is up to no good.

I could tell, it's like a gift.

- Mommy no, don't say that.

- Listen Princess, I understand how you feel

I know what you're going through right now.

I seriously do because I have been in that position before.

And people like him are not trustworthy.

They only see people like you

as a means to their green card.

That's it.

Oh, let me guess.

He has been bothering you to sign the documents?

- Yeah.

- I knew it.

I knew it, they pretend to love you but they don't.

All they want is their green card,

they're papers and they're gone.

- (cries) Mommy.

- Hey Omah, hi.

- [Omah] Hey.

- Hey, It's been a long time.

- Yeah - I tried calling

your cell but you never picked up.

- Yeah, I was, honestly, I don't have an excuse I'm sorry.

- Have anything to do with that?

- It's not what you think.

- Yeah, I'm sure you bought it for a friend.

- It was nice seeing you again Ken.

(under her breath) shit.

- Ma, this your bag, as if there's dead

human being inside.

- Why? - The thing is heavy.

- I've gone away and carried the same.

- Oh by the way where is Omah?

- I think she went to the supermarket?

- Oh, okay.

- Oh, speak of the devil.

- [Omah] Mama, - Yes.

- [Omah] I can't believe you're leaving already.

- Do you people want me to stay here forever?

Let me come and be going hmm?

Mr. Osaze is waiting for me?

- Yes Mama. - Go on.

- It's very simple.

It's a simple matter.

I will have my lawyer look into it

and you'll be rid of him, okay?

Don't just worry about anything.
