Good morning, my daughter.
FEMI’S FATHER (CONT’D) Femi has never brought a girl home, not to talk of a beautiful one.
FEMI’S FATHER (CONT’D) (to Femi; calls out)
Come here my son!
Femi hurriedly makes a path to his Father’s feet. He lies prostrate before his father and he greets in Yoruba:
FEMI
E karo, baba.
Screen Translation:
Good morning, father.
Femi’s Father finally stands on his feet and embraces his son. He speaks softly still locking Femi in his embrace:
FEMI’S FATHER
Welcome home my son.
Close on Femi’s Father’s face as he breathes out a smile of satisfaction. He lets go of Femi after a moment of feeling his warmth.
FEMI
(to his Father) Where’s Dapo?
FEMI’S FATHER (laughs)
He’s in his room with his girlfriend.
FEMI
Victoria?
FEMI’S FATHER
No this is a different one. You know your brother and women. Always changing them like underwear. I didn’t even bother to know the name of this one.
FEMI’S FATHER (CONT’D) (laughs)
I’m too old for that. My memory isn’t as sharp as it used to be before.
