ANN
Don’t look at me like that, I know it is bad
WEMIMO
How am I looking at you, Ann? You just promised a stammerer something you can’t give him
ANN
I know but you need him
WEMIMO
That does not mean you can lie to him
ANN
Worry about sewing and let me worry about getting Shehu a new job
WEMIMO
What if you can’t get him a new job?
EPISODE 17
Imade is a King
INT. AUNTY BEBII’S SHOP-
AFTERNOON
Shehu is
wheeling away the machine, Aunty Bebii is whipping clothes on the whipping
machine while Wemimo is ironing a stay material to a piece of cloth when Ann
and Imade comes into the shop
ANN
Hello!
Wemimo
turns and see them. He stands up surprised when he sees Imade
WEMIMO
What are
you doing here? I told you not to come
IMADE
You didn’t
come home last night, so I brought food
She lift the polythene bag in her
hand up
WEMIMO
You don’t
have to
IMADE
Maami
insisted
Ann snaps her fingers to get
Wemimo’s attention
ANN
Hey, I am
here too
WEMIMO
I can see
you
Imade looks at Shehu who is busy
sewing
IMADE
Hello,
Shehu
Shehu respond without looking up
from his work
SHEHU
Im…Im….ma…ma…
IMADE
Don’t
worry, I understand
Ann moves
to Shehu’s side as Aunty Bebii walks to the trio with a smile on her face Shehu
AUNTY BEBII
You must be
the boss
Imade looks convinced
IMADE
The boss?
AUNTY BEBII
That was
what Wemimo said
Imade turns to Wemimo seeking an
answer
WEMIMO
I told you
will be the face
Imade chuckles
IMADE
I didn’t
know that was what it meant
ANN
Stupid
things people do for love
WEMIMO
Shut up and
come with me, Ann
He drags her
from Shehu’s side and they both steps out of the shop.
WEMIMO
(Whispers)
So?
ANN
So what?
WEMIMO
Shehu’s
job, don’t act like you don’t know what I am talking about. Have you found a
place for him?
ANN
Yes, two
places actually
Wemimo sighs in relief as he
smiles
WEMIMO
That is
great, I hope it is not far from here, should in case we need him again
ANN
Lagos, they
are both in Lagos
The smile on his face drains
away
WEMIMO
Are you
kidding me, Ann?
ANN
What? You
asked me to find him a place and I did
WEMIMO
Leave me
aside, what about his grandma? How can you expect him to go to Lagos and leave
his sick grandma here in IB?
ANN
What can I
do? It is not like it is my fault that no fashion house in IB needs a tailor
WEMIMO
Then you
shouldn’t have promised to get him another job
Ann raises her voice angrily
ANN
What will
you have me do, you needed him?
WEMIMO
For God’s
sake, keep your voice down, Ann and we would have found another way that didn’t
involve jeopardizing his job
Ann raises her voice again
ANN
Oh really?
You are going to put this on me
WEMIMO
I said keep
your voice down and no one is putting anything on anyone. He is not asking me
anything but I am sure he is dying to know about the job you promised him
ANN
I will tell
him about the jobs in Lagos, maybe another relative will help him take care of
his grandma
WEMIMO
Have known
this guy for only six days and I know that his grandma is his only relative,
the jobs in Lagos is out of it
Ann sighs deeply
ANN
I will go
back to Oga Tailor
WEMIMO
He is not
exactly going to take him back just because you asked him to
ANN
I will
kneel before him if that is what it is going to take
Wemimo sighs deeply this time
WEMIMO
I will ask
my sister for help and I am sure she can do something
ANN
You should
have said that earlier
WEMIMO
I can’t
exactly ask her for another favour after what she did for me but I have to now.
Shehu is too good to be trapped with Oga Tailor, sister should be able to do
something for him
ANN
And what if
she can’t?
WEMIMO
Then we go
and kneel before Oga Tailor together
ANN
Okay
Wemimo looks at Shehu who is busy
sewing clothes inside
WEMIMO
Promise me
you will keep looking for a job for him
ANN
I will
WEMIMO
Why can’t
life just work well for us?
ANN
Life is a
bitch, simple
Wemimo sees
Shehu hand one of the dresses to Imade who checks the clothes with a bright
smile on her face. Then he sees her holding something that looks like a label
on clothes
WEMIMO
What is
that?
ANN
What?
Wemimo goes
inside and collect the dress from her. He see the label with the name KINGS
inscribed on it, he looks shocked and angry as he looks at the label, then he
faces Shehu
WEMIMO
Shehu, what
is this?
Ann walks to him
ANN
A label or
what does it look like?
WEMIMO
Shehu, who
asked you to do this?
ANN
I did, I
gave him the labels. People needs to know that you made this clothes
WEMIMO
(Unhappy)
KINGS?
ANN
It is a
cool name, isn’t?
WEMIMO
I don’t
want it
ANN
Why not?
You are a King, Imade is a King. I believe it is a cool name for your clothing
line
WEMIMO
Who are you
to decide that?
ANN
A friend
WEMIMO
Well
friend, you are crossing your boundary here. Shehu, remove it
ANN
Shehu,
leave it
Wemimo looks pissed
WEMIMO
Who is the
boss between me and you?
ANN
Imade is
the boss
Ann turns
to Imade who looks at the duo baffled
ANN
Imade, your
husband here does not want the label
Aunty Bebii looks up from her work
in confusion
AUNTY BEBII
They are married?
ANN
Yes, they
are. Imade, you are the boss and you need to make a decision
Imade looks at the duo in confusion
IMADE
Do I have
to?
ANN
Yes, you
have to, that is what being a boss is about
IMADE
We need a
name, Wemimo
WEMIMO
I know but
I don’t want KINGS
ANN
Why should
she care about what you want?
WEMIMO
Shut up,
Ann
IMADE
(In a loud
voice) Both of you should shut up
The duo keeps quiet as Imade
breathes in and out
IMADE
Do you have
another name, Wemimo?
WEMIMO
No, I
don’t, I haven’t had the time to think about it?
Imade sighs
IMADE
Then until
you do, KINGS stays
Ann dances
in jubilation as Wemimo looks at Imade like she betrayed him
ANN
Wow, I feel
good, pararararara, porororororo
IMADE
Ann, please
stop dancing
ANN
I am just
happy
IMADE
The name
will change when Wemimo finds a better one
ANN
Imade, do
you love the name KINGS?
Imade sighs
IMADE
Yes, I do
ANN
Then why
should you care about what he wants, you are the boss after all
WEMIMO
You are
doing this intentionally right, making me feel what it is like not been able to
call the shots
ANN
You made
Imade the boss not me
WEMIMO
And she
will remain the boss
ANN
And she should, she makes decisions like a boss unlike you
IMADE
You two
should stop fighting
WEMIMO
This is not
over
ANN
I think it
is, you can never find a better name than KINGS
SHEHU
Shu…shu..should…I…I….I….ri…ri…re...move
ANN
No, it is
staying, Shehu
Shehu looks at Wemimo for approval
WEMIMO
Leave it
Shehu continues his work while
Wemimo walks away
IMADE
I meant
what happens to KINGS next? What is your next plan for what you started?
WEMIMO
You mean what
we started?
