|CHIEF BALOGUN's RESIDENCE, BANANA ISLAND|
"Bayo walks into the mansion alongside Chike and Ken."
CHIKE: Omo, I don tire. (He drops his body on one of the couches in the sitting room.)
KEN: I swear. God knows I need a massage right now.
BAYO: You have the money na, you can hire a private masseuse.
KEN: I nor understand, say watin happen?
"Bayo approaches the refrigerator for some beer."
CHIKE: But Ken, you know say you big pass that one normally. Chief's actions about our job description might have been a form of punishment for us, but if we want to be honest, it's kind of a blessing in disguise too.
BAYO: (He walks in with three bottles of beer in his hands.) Facts. So, I wonder why you are reluctant to spend money on a very affordable service.
KEN: I have a lot of expenses, guys. You won't understand.
CHIKE: I get it, bro. You are the only person taking care of things at home, but you also need to look out for yourself.
BAYO: Exactly. (He sips his bottle of beer.)
KEN: Guys, it's not easy at all. I pay three undergraduates' school fees every semester and take care of their school fees. I also send my mom something for her upkeep and my dad... (He sighs and picks up the bottle of beer in front of him.)
BAYO: (He plucks a banana from the bunch on the glass table.) What about your dad?
KEN: Hmm, everything's good. I have to leave now.
CHIKE: Ahh, but we just came in, na.
KEN: I know, but I have to go now.
BAYO: What is the problem, Ken? You're our guy, oh. You shouldn't be keeping things that bother you from us. It doesn't make sense, na. (He pulls down the greenback of the chubby banana in his hands.)
