Bryan: {shrugs} Yeah, the pay is worth it. Louis: Aren't you scared of getting caught? Bryan: Pushing dugs is a risk, my friend, just like everything else in this life. And so what? Will I lose out the opportunity of not making money because of the fear of being caught? Louis: Humph. Bryan: Now, if that's about everything....goodnight. End Of Act 15 Scene 6 1 Like |

Kayla: {stands up straight} Um...yeah, I'm fine. Debra: {admires her outfit} You look nice; the swimsuit fits you perfectly. Kayla: It does? Debra: Duh. Even Lenora couldn't pull it of better. Kayla: Who's Lenora? {Lenora enters} Lenora: Oh, I see. Dumb Debra is making some new friends. Debra: Lenora.... Lenora: With the newbie. That's rich. {at Kayla} And your outfit looks horrible. You look like a pork in it. You know, if I were you, I wouldn't bother showing my face, looking like THAT, urgh! {walks out} Debra: Ignore. That's her specialty-making people feel bad about themselves. Kayla: No, it doesn't bother me. But, you should stand up to her. "Dumb Debra?" What a b1tch, no? Debra: Well...everyone here thinks i'm dumb. Kayla: Why's that? Debra: I'm not as educated as the other girls. Kayla: You're here for the money too? Debra: Not necessarily. I want the title and the fame. Plus...that's what my Dad wants most in the world. Kayla: Your Dad? Debra: Uh huh. {Ms. Clara walks in} Ms. Clara: Well, well, well, what do we have here? Kayla: A nosy woman interrupting our conversation. Ms. Clara: Your kind isn't welcome here, Ms. Kayla. Take off that outfit. Kayla: Luke welcomes my kind, that's what matters. Ms. Clara: You're a disgrace to modelling. Kayla: Your ridiculous little opinion has been noted. Ms. Clara: Photoshoot session is in 5. {leaves} Debra: But, how do you deal with all that negativity? Kayla: It's a long story-one I shall bore you with later. Debra: {chuckles} You ready? Kayla: Few minutes ago, I wasn't so sure; but with 'encouragrement' from those two, I know I'm ready to do this.

For a job well done. Kayla: {surprised} My pay check? Debra: Yes. Kayla. Each model who performs excellently at each photo shoot session is given a paycheck. Kayla: 20k? Thank you so much, Sir. Luke: You can thank me when you're crowned, dearest. {he leaves} Debra: Oh, there's our tailor. The one in charge of all our costumes-Mr. Stan. {The tailor approaches the two girls} Mr. Stan: {shoves glasses to the bridge of his nose} Someone's new here, I see. Kayla: Kayla, the name. Mr. Stan: {stares at her body} Can I make bikinis this BIG? Debra: She's not THAT big. Kayla: I'm not big at all. Mr. Stan: {slaps her right leg} Lose that. Kayla: You want me to be skin and bones? Mr. Stan: Skeleton and bones, preferrably. {brings out a tape to measure her tummy} Too wide; Lose that too. Debra: It's probably because of her hips. Mr. Stan: Lose that. Kayla: Lose the hips?

{Chineme and Sons Limited Company} {Gbemi walks into her mother's office} Secretary: {rushes in after Gbemi} Ma'am, I tried to stop her, she wouldn't.... Gbemi: If you want to keep your job, I suggest you leave now. {The secretary is dazed} Susan: She is my daughter, Linda. Linda: Oh, {to Gbemi} Sorry Ma'am. {exits} Gbemi: {sighs} Incompetent Arrow. {sits down} You know, I almost thought you wouldn't recognize me. Susan: {chuckles} Gbemi, you are my daughter; surgery or no. And I must say, you look absolutely.... Gbemi: Flawless; Flawless is the word, Mother. A hundred and one times better than any of those starved models. Susan: You went to the studio? Gbemi: It's the reason I had surgery done. It's only normal I go take a look at my competition. Susan: And? Gbemi: Do you really need to ask, Mom? I am way better. Susan: Better than even....Kayla? Gbemi: {rolls eyes} And the comparison goes on and on. Susan: No, don't get me wrong, Gbemi. I want you to win, only then can you take over my company. Gbemi: The crown is mine already, Mom. Susan: I am relieved to hear that. Gbemi: {stands up} And...I changed my name. Susan: Why's that? Gbemi: So that stvpid Kayla won't come running after me. Susan: {studies her countenance} You sound bitter. Gbemi: Bitter is an understatement, Mother. I hate that Kayla of a girl and I want to destroy her. Susan: {surprised} But...I thought you two were friends. Gbemi: WHAT friends? She had everything I had-Louis, a great body, an opportunity to pageant.... Susan: Wait a minute-Louis? Gbemi: Yes, Louis. I have always loved him since we were kids, you know that. Susan: I do, but I thought your childish infatuation would have died off by now. Gbemi: It is not infatuation, Mother. I love Louis. Susan: He is a wretched pauper...and Kayla's boyfriend too. Gbemi: People become poor to rich from one day to the next. Why can't Louis? {sits down} And about him being Kayla's-Pfft! He'd have to be a fool to not break up with her after what I told him today. Susan: And what would that be? Gbemi: {smiles} Kayla is a low-class prosstitute. She sold her body to The Don for his money. Susan: {shocked} What? No way! Gbemi: {laughs} She told me herself. You can ask her if you doubt. Or better still, ask The Don. He'll give you the GRAPHIC details. {chuckles} Susan: My God. Gbemi: Yeah...Kayla, the wh.ore. That's some piece of news, huh? Susan: If so, how come she's still poor? Gbemi: {laughs} Mother! You don't know Kayla, at all. You probably think someone gave her that bike as charity or her 3 square meals. Susan: Well, that's her business, not ours. You shouldn't have involved Louis. Gbemi: Well I did, and now she's out of his heart and life. Guess who's gonna be making an entry now? {grins} Susan: Gbemi, don't. Gbemi: And who's gonna stop me-you? {stands up} You want an heiress for your little company, don't you? {silence} Smart answer. {walks out} 3 Likes |
