O boy, pick up.
BACK TO:
INT. RECEPTION HALL, ST. NICHOLAS HOSPITAL - CONTINUOUS
Femi’s attention is finally brought to his ringing phone as he feels a mild vibration within his right trouser pocket. He whines:
FEMI
Na who me and am dey share phone? (sighs)
Who dey always reduce the volume of this my phone sef?
He dips his right hand into his trouser pocket and reveals his phone, which is still indistinctly playing his ring-tone.
FEMI (CONT’D) (sighs louder; re: Tega)
This wahala boy again.
Close on the phone’s screen, which reads: “TEGA IS CALLING...”. Femi forcefully pushes down the GREEN answer button with his thumb, and steadily raises the phone up to his right ear.
FEMI (CONT’D) (greets in Yoruba)
Bawo ni.
Screen Translation:
Hello.
His attention is now completely drawn away from the Receptionist, who takes a quick glance at him.
TEGA (O.S.) (telephone voice)
