EPISODE 22
Two Laces
INT. ONE MINISTRY IN IBADAN-
AFTERNOON
Wemimo and
Shehu sits before the mother (MRS ALE) who offered to give him the contract.
While she is looking through the proposal in her hands, a very fat tall woman
that appears to be in her fifties comes into the office with a stuffed nylon
bag and Mrs Ale stands up fast
MRS ALE
Good
morning ma
COMMISSIONER
Good
morning, I heard you found someone to give the contract already
MRS ALE
Yes, ma
Mrs Ale
points to Wemimo who stands up to shake the Commissioner’s hand
WEMIMO
Good
morning ma
COMMISSIONER
Morning and
you are?
WEMIMO
Wemimo
Arotile
MRS ALE
This is the
Commissioner for Education
WEMIMO
It is a
pleasure meeting you ma
COMMISSIONER
I won’t say
that yet if I were you (faces Mrs Ale) is he any good?
MRS ALE
Yes ma,
have seen his proposal and he is the best person for the job
COMMISSIONER
How about
you leave me to be the judge of that, Wemimo Arotile right?
WEMIMO
Yes ma’am
COMMISSIONER
Before you
will be given the contract, I will be giving you my own test
WEMIMO
(Looking confident) Okay, ma’am
She gives
him the nylon bag in her hand. Wemimo opens it and sees two different expensive
laces
COMMISSIONER
You are
going to sew those clothes for my daughter and I. I also want the same style
with her.
Wemimo brings the clothes to
look at them and they feel heavy in his hands
WEMIMO
Do you have
your measurement with you?
COMMISSIONER
No, I don’t
but I can get it for you. I want two different styles for the two laces but
the same style with my daughter
WEMIMO
Two
different styles for the two laces but same style with your daughter, that
means four clothes?
COMMISSIONER
Yes
WEMIMO
We can make
that work, when are you getting it?
COMMISSIONER
Tomorrow
WEMIMO
What?
Wemimo and Shehu open their
mouth in shock
COMMISSIONER
On or
before 9am, I need to be in church by 10am
Wemimo looks at the young
tailor who shakes his head
WEMIMO
We can’t
make that work, ma
COMMISSIONER
You can’t
or you won’t
WEMIMO
It is past
1pm already ma and before we get back to our shop we are looking at 2, 3pm. We
can’t meet the timeline ma
COMMISSIONER
Then how
can we trust you to make 2000 uniforms in two months?
Wemimo opens his mouth in
shock, suddenly his confidence disappears
WEMIMO
Two months?
The commissioner looks at
Mrs Ale
COMMISSIONER
I thought
you said he is the perfect person for the job
WEMIMO
I
will make it work
COMMISSIONER
And have
you disappoint me?
WEMIMO
I will do
whatever it takes, even if it means not sleeping tonight
COMMISSIONER
Now you are
talking, come to my office to work out the details of your payment
The
commissioner leaves, a perplexed Wemimo looks around not knowing what to do
MRS ALE
She must
have forgotten that she has an occasion tomorrow and her tailor bailed on her,
so she decided to dump her clothes on you because you need the contract, I am so
sorry
WEMIMO
Please can
you lead me to her office?
MRS ALE
Yes, I can,
she is going to steal your sleep tonight, I suggest you bill her a lot of
money. She can pay it
Wemimo sighs as he follows Mrs Ale
out
