"Michael appeared perplexed and confused as he wondered how Temi could be pregnant"
MICHAEL How can she be pregnant? She never told me about...
BAYO (He pushes Michael against the wall in the waiting room) She never told you what? If anything happens to my sister, I will kill you with my bare hands.
TAIWO Bayo, that's enough. (He pulls Bayo away from Michael)
BAYO (He turns to Taiwo) Temi is in there because of him! She's even pregnant, and the idiot has no clue. Can you imagine?
EBUKA Oga, that's enough! Nor forget all of us Dey this hospital because of your sister and your family.
BAYO (He lands a fist on Ebuka's left cheek) You are very stupid! Look at this tout.
Mrs. ADEBAYO That is enough! What is wrong with both of you? Ebuka, calm down. Bayo, or whatever your name is, you have no right to hit my son just because you can.
BAYO Shouldn't your son be ashamed that he had no clue that Temi was pregnant?
TAIWO Bayo, that's enough! What's your problem?
ONYINYE Why should he be ashamed of something that was kept from him? I love Auntie Temi, but it was wrong of her to keep it from him.
BAYO Even this small rat is throwing words at me. Are you okay? Se o ya were? (Are you mad?)
ONYINYE I'm perfectly fine, Mr. man. It is you who is mad!
MICHAEL Onyinye shut up! I didn't raise you to be disrespectful.
"Dr. Franka walks into the scene"

TAIWO We are sorry, Doctor.
Dr. FRANKA Sorry for yourselves. (She hisses and walks out of the scene)
