EPISODE 14
Aunty Bebii
EXT. INSIDE A MARKET IN
IBADAN-AFTERNOON
Wemimo sits
on a moving motorcycle as he is been carried through the rowdy market with a
big Ghana-must-go bag on his thighs.
He sees Ann
standing in front of a shopping complex
WEMIMO
Please stop before that young lady
The bike
man gently stops in front of Ann. Ann watch Wemimo comes down with the large
bag in his hands
ANN
So, did you
get it all?
WEMIMO
Yes,
everything
ANN
That is great
She helps
him to carry the bag by holding one strap of the bag while he holds the other
strap and they walk into this complex
WEMIMO
So tell me
about this shop
ANN
She has
everything, Wemimo, everything that makes a tailor a tailor except that she does
not sew clothes
WEMIMO
So what
does she do if she is not sewing clothes?
ANN
She whips
peoples’ clothes, a lot of people don’t have that machine and she also cuts
clothes
WEMIMO
She cuts
clothes that she does not sew
ANN
No, she
cuts clothes for other tailors
WEMIMO
(Confused)
What?
ANN
My response
too when she told me. Some tailors are just tailors and they can’t cut while
some are just too lazy to cut, so they give it out
WEMIMO
Shehu can
cut right?
ANN
Of course
They climb the stairs with
the bag and continue walking
WEMIMO
But why
have everything and don’t sew?
ANN
We are not
close enough for me to ask that
WEMIMO
Maybe she
can’t sew
ANN
If you can
cut that well, then you can sew. Anyway, it works well for us. Everything we
need is in her shop
They sees Shehu walk to them
SHEHU
Wel..well…well
come
WEMIMO
Thank you,
Shehu
Shehu collect the large bag
from them and carries it into the shop that a young woman sits in front of it.
ANN
I present
to you, Aunty Bebii
WEMIMO
Good
afternoon ma
AUNTY BEBII
smiles at Wemimo. Aunty Bebii is a fair, tall young woman in her early
thirties. She is in an expensive cloth with a nice hairdo and her face is
heavily plastered with makeup
AUNTY BEBII
Good
afternoon, you must be the boss
Wemimo smiles in confusion
WEMIMO
The boss?
ANN
I told her
you are spearheading this project
WEMIMO
I didn’t
know we are using the word boss, since it has come to that. I am not the boss
ma’am, she is not around
ANN
What?
WEMIMO
Imade is
the boss
Ann looks more shocked
ANN
What nonsense
is that? How is she the boss?
WEMIMO
Let talk
about this later
ANN
That will
be a great idea
Wemimo
turns to Aunty Bebii as he brings out some wads of money from his pocket. He
counts it and hands few of it to Aunty Bebii before pocketing the rest
WEMIMO
That is our
deposit, we will give you the rest when we are done
Aunty Bebii puts the money
in her purse
AUNTY BEBII
Anything
you need, just tell me
WEMIMO
Yes ma'am,
but I have a question
AUNTY BEBII
Ask
WEMIMO
Your name,
Bebii, as in a doll
Aunty Bebii laughs
AUNTY BEBII
My real
name is Obebi-Ego, it is an igbo name.
WEMIMO
You are
Igbo?
AUNTY BEBII
Yes, the
name was shorten to Bebi but Yoruba people added their accent and it...
WEMIMO
Became
Bebii
Wemimo
laughs and at that moment, he hears the sound of a sewing machine working. He
goes inside to check and finds Shehu on the machine already sewing cloth
Wemimo smiles when he sees
this
WEMIMO
Let the
work begin
Next on Why?
ANN
What will
you have me do, you needed him?
WEMIMO
For god sake, keep your voice down Ann and we would have found another way that didn’t involve jeopardizing his job
ANN
Oh really?
Then you should said it the other day
WEMIMO
I said keep
your voice down and tell me what you plan to do. He is not asking me anything
but I am sure he is dying to know about the job you promised him
