(Act III Scene 2)
(Elijah’s room, while Mary is preparing to visit Sis Deborah, Elijah rushes in panting)
Elijah: (Rushes in panting) that was so close!
Mary: (looks at him quizzically) what was so close? Why are you panting like a hunter dog?
Elijah: (still panting) while…while coming from school.. with Peller (coughs) those butchers at Agbowo started their fight again and..and we heard a gunshot…
Mary: (cuts in) awwn! And that made you to pick race like a wounded lion. You guys are not man enough. Just freshen up and help yourself with the fried rice inside the pot.
Elijah: witch! How did you know what I had in mind to eat this evening? Have you eaten?
Mary: yes, I was about going to Deborah before you rushed in for help, I’ll be right back.
(She leaves and Elijah begin to soliloquize as he’s putting off his shoe and socks)
Elijah: (soliloquizes) Mustapha is set to woo Mary? I know Mary goes to his room to watch movies but wait… He flirts with her? (Looking confused) And mama said Peller is making advances towards Mary? Can Peller do that? (He pushes the pair shoe aside) He’s an executive in his fellowship, SDF for that matter! Mustapha is engaged already know he is not a womanizer. What kind of dilemma is this? (Remembers something) mama said I should be patient. I can’t kill myself (he goes to where the pot is and opens it)
(Lights fade)
