because you are the half man.

CHUKS.

BENNY.

How do you know this b*tch?

CHUKS.

the street, using his police

uniform as an intimidation to them

all. I swear I will shoot, if

police didn’t come here because I

There is another knock on the door

DON.

Here we are again, what is really

going on here. Tell me you are

playing a plank on me

DPO.

No, they’re not. The fact remains

that I brought your wife for you,

officer

They all salute him

CAT.

Please I’m so sorry, it will never

happen again

CHUKS.

Am sorry to ask, please is she the

real wife? I mean who is the real

wife

D.P.O.

he put my wife in a family way,

another family way. He ruined my

family reputation, them both wants

to ruin my reputation. Bigman, what

are you doing here?

DWARF.

What goes around comes around. You

got my wife; I got his wife while

he got yours. Case close

DON.

What?

BENNY.

Sorry I didn’t tell you Don, I’m 2

months pregnant for him

DWARF.

She became my full time love, ever

since the incident between you and

my wife. She was my first love

secretly

CAT.

You son of a b*tch, you claim to be

a saint, judging me more and more

with your words which is sharper

than a razor blade. The fact is

that I’m pregnant for the love of

my life before you interfere in our

affairs. Yet I loved you, but you

refused to understand that I’m your

wife and the bigman’s wife is my

cousin

CHUKS.

What? Bigman, sweet heart, we have

to go, the case is settled on its

own. We all have been trapped in

the closet. So DPO, you go home

with your wife, or better still,

you all can still swap.

MARY.

Benny, do you love bigman

BENNY.

Yes, I love him, I love him before

I met this man and now, I have his

baby. I’m not going to let him go

again

MARY.

Then, DPO, we are sorry, but you

have to decide on what to do, so

that this won’t get to the

commissioner

DON.

Sir, I’m sorry I ruined your

marriage, but you caused it, when

you opened my hand and snatched the

love of my heart from me. But

please we can settle this.... Am

really sorry

DPO.

No problem, ok, I know what to do.

He leaves the room with the police officers. The wife then

follows. The dwarf, chuks and mary then ken

KEN.

All eyes were on you, remember

don’t beat her, you know she is

pregnant

Benny relaxes on a seat as well as don who is watching them

expatriate from his house
