FEMI (sighs)

 

Na wa oh! See phone wey I charge full for night, na wetin dey show battery low. All these new new phones dem.

He puts his phone away into his right trouser pocket.

Room number Seven. The seventh door on your left. Patient is now awake. No interrogation, please.

 

FEMI (grumbles)

Femi lifts himself GRACEFULLY, stands on both feet, carefully adjusts his uniform to perfection, without eyeing the Receptionist, GALLANTLY makes his way to the hallway.

Femi DANCES as he walks through the long and somewhat EMPTY hallway with his eyes locked on the labels of every room door, and his face crafted in DELIGHT.
