Not my Ass
Leave me be
She wasn't made for that

Not my Ass
She doesn't get juicy
Let her be!

Not my Ass
I wouldn't do that to myself
She can't please you.

It ain't your Ass
My boobs should be enough
If you think otherwise, then I'm not for you! 

It's her Ass let her decide
Her cheery should be enough
Or are they too dry for you to dine with?

"Dr. Yemi Addresses his Team of Doctors"

Dr. YEMI
Good morning everyone I know you are all wondering why I called an early morning meeting.
I will be going on three months' leave I know I have been hard on you all, especially Dr Temi and Dr Henry. That is because I want the best from all of you.
My absence wouldn't be a platform for any of you to slack off.
Dr. Franker will be in charge while I'm away.

Dr. MABEL
But we will miss you, Sir.
(She puts up a sad expression in pretense)

Dr. PASCAL
Yes, Sir, we will.
Please return as soon as you can.

Dr. YEMI
(He turns to Dr. Mabel)
No, you wouldn't
(He turns to Dr. Pascal)
As for you, if wishes were horses, you would want me out of your life for good but sadly I'm not leaving your life.

"The room is filled with laughter"

Dr. FRANKER
(She notices Temilade is usually quiet and absent-minded)
Dr. Temi, are you okay?
You have been too quiet.

Dr. HENRY
I was about to ask the same question
(He turns to Temi)
Are you sick?

TEMI
I'm fine
(She wears a sad smile)

Dr. MABEL
Are you sure?
(She gazes at Temilade)

TEMI
Yes, I am okay.
(She rushes out of the office with both her hands on her lips)

Dr. MABEL
(She turns to Dr. Yemi)
Excuse me, Sir
I want to check on Dr. Temi.

Dr. YEMI
Go ahead.
You can all go.

"They all walked out of his office"

"Dr. Mabel knocks on the Restroom door"

TEMI
I'm fine
(She washes her face and unlocks the door)

Dr. MABEL
No, you are not, Temi.
That is the third time you are throwing up this morning.
I'm worried about you talking to me, Temi what is wrong?

TEMI
I said I'm fine, Mabel.
(She turns to leave)

Dr. MABEL
Are you pregnant?

TEMI
(She stops and turns to Dr. MABEL)
What?

Dr. MABEL
(She catches up to Temi's anxious body language)
Oh my God, you are pre....

TEMI
(She places her right hand on Dr. Mabel's mouth)
Shut up, Mabel!

Dr. MABEL
Who is the father?

TEMI
Are you seriously asking me that question?

Dr. MABEL
What do you expect me to ask, Temi?

TEMI
Really?
(She appears furious)

Dr. MABEL
Calm down, Temi.
I guess it's, Michael.

TEMI
Of course, it's his.
I haven't been with anyone else my entire life.

Dr. MABEL
Wait a minute.
You mean Michael was your first?

TEMI
Yes, Mabel.
Before I met Michael, I was a virgin.
Stop asking me irrelevant questions
(She drops both her hands on the edges of the sink)

Dr. MABEL
Relax Temi.
First of all the most important is to figure out how to tell Michael.

TEMI
I don't know about that.

Dr. MABEL
Don't tell me you plan on keeping this from him.
This is a decision you both have to make together,

TEMI
I know, Mabel but it's complicated.
I don't know how he will take the news.

Dr. MABEL
I have known Michael for years
Trust me you have to tell him.

TEMI
Hmm, we have to go back to work.
Let's talk about this later please keep it to yourself.
(She wipes off the tears on her face)

Dr. MABEL
Temi!

TEMI
(She turns to Dr. Mabel)
I don't want to talk about it.
Let's go back to work, please
(She walks out of the restroom)

|FESTAC OIL AND GAS, YABA LAGOS|


"Taiwo walks into his office alongside Eniola and Adebisi"

ENIOLA
Welcome to Festac Oil and Gas, Ma
Please make yourself comfortable.
(She pulls out one of the leather chairs opposite Taiwo)
Excuse me, Ma let me ask the Secretary to bring you something.
(She turns to leave)

ADEBISI
Don't bother, Dear.
(She smiles at Eniola)
Do you know you are the spitting image of your father?

TAIWO
You know our Dad?

ADEBISI
(She turns to Taiwo)
Of course.
You are the Baloguns your father is the governor of Lagos
Even those living under the bridge would recognize him.

ENIOLA
Very true.
But I must get you something
You are an important guest.
(She rushes out of the office)

TAIWO
You are welcome, Ma.
Though I am wondering what The CEO of the biggest oil company in Europe is doing at my office.

ADEBISI
(She smiles at Taiwo)
You mean why an exclusive personality would want to associate herself with The future Chief Executive Officer of The Biggest Oil Company in Africa?

TAIWO
I may be my father's first son but I don't know about replacing my Grandfather.
My brother would rather die than watch me take over the company.

ADEBISI
That is why I am here.
I rather work with you than with another Balogun.

TAIWO
But you barely know me, Ma.
You just met me so much how can you tell?
(He appears curious)

ADEBISI
The eyes don't lie.
I know greatness when I see one.
I few years ago, I invested a lot of money in this company.
I want all of my shares transferred under your name.

TAIWO
Don't you think it's too early to be heavy on such an expensive joke?

ADEBISI
Don't you think I will find it annoying that you are convinced I will come from Europe just to make a joke about my money and investments?

TAIWO
I apologize, Ma.
But why me?
Why would you want to keep your shares and understand my custody knowing fully aware that legally I can stab you in the back and keep them to myself?

ADEBISI
You already have the answer to your question.
You prioritized my motive over the benefits attached to my shares in your hands and custody.
Now you know why I trust you with them.
I want somebody on the inside that I can trust and that person is you.

TAIWO
But you are a business guru
You own the most successful company ever by a black woman.
Why would you need me to keep your shares in check?

ADEBISI
You are the one who needs me.
I am doing you a favor.
You need these shares if you want to stand a chance against your brother.
Think about it, Son.
My Lawyer will be in touch with you.
I shall take my leave now.
(She gets up to leave)

TAIWO
I will manage your shares under one condition.

ADEBISI
(She turns to Taiwo)
Now you are talking like a real businessman.
What would that be?

TAIWO
I want access to your connections and resources
I want you to help me find potential clients who will be interested in working with me.

ADEBISI
Hmm, alright I will help you.
Though I want to be your first client.
I will find six projects but they must be outside Lagos.

TAIWO
That won't be an issue, Ma
Thank you.
(He appears excited)

ADEBISI
Alright
As I said, my lawyer will be in touch.
(She walks out of the office)

TAIWO
(He raises both his arms and drops them in front of his face)
YES!!!
(He screams in excitement)
