"White is for weddings
As Black is for grieving.
She glitters in excitement
For it is a day that was once a dream.
We wish he felt the same
Unfortunately, he was all dressed in Black
Waiting to be sentenced to death
By the chains, that was a dream come true for her."

"Dr Mabel walks into the office"
Dr MABEL
I heard Dr Chidi would be in charge of Awelle's surgery.
Dr RAPHAEL
He is the best for the job Awelle is lucky!
"Micheal walks into the office"
MICHAEL
How is that luck? He is a doctor, not a god!
Dr MABEL
We never implied that he was one; we were only emphasizing on how experienced he is, especially because he is young and good-looking.
MICHAEL
Do you have an idea of the schedule for her operation?
Dr HENRY
I guess you guys are still not on talking terms!
(He gaze at Michael )
MICHAEL
And what does that have to do with my daughter's Surgery schedule?
Dr MABEL
We assumed you should know since it's your daughter's surgery, but you don't because you are still not on talking terms with Dr Chidi!
Dr RAPHAEL
Rephrase that, Mabel; he refused to move on from his past because The Dr Chidi I know has longed moved his ass on.
(He teases Michael)
MICHAEL
You know what? It's pointless talking with you all!
(He walks out of the office)
"Temi couldn't keep her curiosity in her pocket any longer"
TEMI
What was that all about?
Dr HENRY
Oh, you don't know? I thought you both were close
TEMI
(She found Henry's reply to her question offensive)
No, I don't; if I do, I wouldn't be inquiring.
Dr RAPHAEL
Relax, Temi, you don't have to be always serious all the time; Dr Chidi was the man Michael's Ex left him for.
TEMI
Do you mean Dr Chidi is dating Michael's Ex?
Dr PASCAL
That was before.
I heard they ended a month ago after Dr Chidi was done with her Lollipop.
TEMI
(Lolipop? What could that mean? )
Lollipop? What do you mean by Lollipop?
Dr HENRY
(He appears Suprise that they could be a slight chance that Temi didn't know what it meant)
Don't play dumb; everyone here knows what that means!
TEMI
(She suspected it was sex-related but she didn't want to say something she wasn't really sure about)
But I don't. Honestly!
Dr PASCAL
Dr Chidi banged her till he got tired, then he moved on to the next!
Dr TEMI
Wow, now I get it, but how is that funny? It isn't fair that you all take turns in teasing Michael; you are his friends. You should help him move on.
(She couldn't comprehend why that would laugh over something that crucial)
Dr HENRY
Michael had moved passed all of that; if only you had met him back then when Kemi left him with Awelle, Hmm!
TEMI
What a minute, is Kemi, the mother of Awelle, the same woman who left Michael for Chidi?
