RITA: Richard, are you just watching? DORIS: So this is what you do Richard? RICHARD: You called her a prostitute? (He turns to face his mother) DORIS: Is she not one? And you a he-goat RICHARD: You have the guts to call her a prostitute, you queen of prostitutes. DORIS: What! Are you talking to me? RICHARD: Yes, you think I don’t know about your sexual escapades in this house with Daniel and Ben? Thunder fire you there.

I regret not killing you in the womb… Bastard. RICHARD: (Pained by her words) Why didn’t you kill me? I agree I am a bastard, are you not ashamed of giving birth to bastards the same way you are carrying another bastard in that your bastard cursed womb for Daniel; a common driver. (There was silence everywhere, eyes rolled and ears itched) You all think you are smart because I kept quiet for you to play the dirty games you were playing in this house. You think am proud to be your son? A prostitute like you… you think I don’t know how you prostituted on the streets of owerri and got pregnant, you tried to hook the pregnancy on any man that will fall victim, unfortunately you couldn’t do that. I got this deformation because of your several attempts to abort me which failed… (Voice trails off) CUT TO… SCENE 9 FLASH BACK… HOSPITAL. INTERIOR, WARD 3. NURSE: Madam I will advise you stop all attempts to have an abortion; your life is in danger, if you continue trying you may lose your life. DORIS: I can’t keep this baby, how do I care for it? NURSE: What about the father? DORIS: (Stutters) I, I don’t know the father. NURSE: What do you mean by that? DORIS: You won’t understand, I left my parents in the village for owerri to hustle; things didn’t go as I planned so I improvised, a woman has to do all she can to survive. I slept with so many men that I can’t figure who got me pregnant. NURSE: Don’t you know about condoms? You could be infected. DORIS: I don’t care if I get infection or not, I am not better than those infected. Men pay more when they do it skin-to-skin. NURSE: Why didn’t you hook it on someone, someone that could have taken responsibility of the child? DORIS: I tried but men are all the same, they all fled and abandoned me at the mention of the word “pregnant”, they claim they paid me for my services so I should carry the product. NURSE: This is serious, so what do you plan to do now? DORIS: I don’t know what to do. NURSE: You’ll have to go home and plan what next to do, as for abortion, that’s a no go area unless you want to die. DORIS: I don’t have a home here, I sleep anywhere the men take me to, that’s how I’ve been surviving; and I can’t go to my parents in the village with this pregnancy, they’ll kill me. NURSE: (Had pity on her) You’ll stay with me until you give birth, I live alone. DORIS: Thank you, God bless you so much. NURSE: Don’t mention God in this case, you’ll have to wait for me to close in the next two hours. DORIS: Okay, no problem. NURSE: Mind you… I have my conditions. DORIS: (Eyes wide open in anticipation)… CUT TO… SCENE 10 HOSPITAL, WARD 3, INTERIOR DAY. FLASH BACK CONTINUES… RICHARD: (Narration on background) Two days after my birth, chief Nduka a philanthropist who regularly visits the hospital to donate to the needy and helpless came. CHIEF: Oh my God! What happened to this baby? DORIS: (Pretends to be sleeping) NURSE: We lost the mother during delivery and this woman here lost her child immediately after birth, since we do not know the origin or relatives of the deceased woman; this woman asked that she watch over the child till we get an adopter. CHIEF: That’s pathetic NURSE: It is CHIEF: I feel like taking care of the baby, I will fly him abroad for major surgery. NURSE: That’s nice sir. CHIEF: What could be the cause of that deformation on his face? NURSE: I guess the mother tried abortion that failed. CHIEF: Terrible, why would anyone want to abort her baby? This fine baby. NURSE: We see diverse cases of this nature every day. CHIEF: Prepare the documents for his transfer; I shall come tomorrow with my house help who shall be watching over him. NURSE: House help? CHIEF: Yea, my house help NURSE: Can I make a suggestion sir? CHIEF: Sure you can NURSE: I suggest this woman help out in caring for the child, from all I gathered from her she will be willing to care for the child if given the opportunity; you know she lost her child. CHIEF: That’s a good idea NURSE: She could also breastfeed the child. CHIEF: What about the husband? NURSE: She has no husband, she was raped CHIEF: My goodness, okay you make that arrangement with her by tomorrow we see how it goes. NURSE: Okay sir, thank you.

DORIS: May God bless you so much, God will surely repay you in many folds. NURSE: No, I don’t believe that; I will make my demands at the right time DORIS: No problem about that NURSE: Just play your card well when you get there. CUT TO… SCENE 12 AT NURSE HOUSE – INTERIOR DAY. NURSE: I am glad you finally married chief, that’s a smooth ride to our destination DORIS: I still don’t know what this your plan is NURSE: Don’t worry, at the due time you’ll know. Just know for now that you can’t have children with chief. DORIS: Why? NURSE: Because he is sterile DORIS: Was that why he told me we won’t be making babies, that he is okay with Richard as his adopted son. NURSE: He had an accident that claimed the life of his wife and 3 children DORIS: He told me about it. NURSE: That made him sterile. (Doris confused) CUT TO… SCENE 12 HOTEL ROOM, INTERIOR - DAY RICHARD: - (VOICE OVER NARRATION)… (A year after your marriage to chief you connived with Wale ‘Chiefs’ accountant’ to eliminate him and take over his properties and businesses, unknown to you that he had also planned to elope with his girlfriend) WALE: Doris, what you are asking me to do is a very hard task.

I need another round of sex before I leave. WALE: (Lost in thoughts) DORIS: Wale (she screams) WALE: (Jolts back to reality) DORIS: Did you hear what I said? WALE: I did DORIS: So what are you waiting for? I need two more rounds of sex before I leave, this time you have to put in your best and explore other styles not that your archaic style. WALE: What about him? DORIS: Who? WALE: Your son DORIS: What about him? Is that thing alive? He is as good as dead, but to be on the safe side; we will eliminate him too. WALE: What! DORIS: No more questions please, get to work.

RITA: (Sitting in a restaurant waiting for Richard) RICHARD: (VOICE OVER ON BACKGROUND NARRATION) Rita was my secondary school mate, we attended the same secondary school, she liked me so much and had compassion on me for my condition. She promised to heal me when she becomes a doctor (chuckles) childish talk, we maintained communication, eventually she became my doctor; she knew chief was my adopted father.

AMANDA: I don’t think she knows about this NURSE: You have messed up; you must make sure you tell her everything, she is the only covering you have in that house, you must work hard to remain in that house. Has he lain with you? AMANDA: No NURSE: Why? Can’t you get him to lay with you; do you want to endanger our plans? AMANDA: Mum this man is an animal; he has no feelings for me or anyone else.

RITA: Yes RICHARD: Thanks for the information SCENE 27 – BACK TO SITTING ROOM RICHARD: You were all playing smart, I chose to keep quiet because I know a day like this will definitely come and I wont loss anything.

That’s how come; come-on I thought you said you love me, you should be happy for us. DANIEL: Oga Richard will kill me.

Wow! This is going to be awesome on TV. I can already imagine the black and whites of flashbacks. In scene 17, Dyoungstar, you made a mistake with the speaker of the third speech in the scene. It should have been Wale; not Richard. In scene 17, also, you said "two policemen storm(s) in and cuff(s) Wale. The two ss should have been missing. I'm sure those errors are typographical. Also, sir, I don't know if that is how scripts in particular are written, but there is an excessive use of the comma in your work, sir. You used it even when periods should have been employed. When this starts to show on TV, please don't forget to let us know. I'd be very glad watching a movie in which the script-writer is a teacher, sir. ![]() |
