Oh, man.

Get out of my way.

Herbie, can you turn that game down? I'm trying to study.

Why are you such a geek?

All you ever do is study, study, study.

I mean, we're only hanging out because our parents are friends and I'm forced

to. So please don't kill my vibe.

Please don't kill my vibe.

Well done, boy. It's so good to see you guys studying together.

So, Douglas, your mum tells me you're doing really well at school.

What was it last year? All A's?

Actually, Auntie, all A's stars.

Sure.

Wow.

All A's stars.

Toby, are you hearing this?

Douglas is someone you should be revising with instead of playing about

Kevin. Of course, Mum. That's why he's here.

I'm hoping his good grades will rub off on me.

Well, actually, Auntie, we're supposed to be studying for the big exam

What exam?

Toby, you didn't tell me about any exam.

Well, um... Actually, Auntie, it's the national exam to find out who's the

smartest with English in the whole of London.

I've been excited about this for weeks.

Why haven't you told me about this exam? I hope you're taking this seriously.

I am, Mum.

That's why Douglas is here.

Now, please, leave us. You're wasting a lot of our valuable studying time.

Okay, I'll lead you through it then.

But, Toby, make sure you study properly and learn from Douglas.

Will do, Mum.

Okay, then.

Bye -bye.

My mum.

Get off me, man.

Open your big mouth.

Forget this man.

Studying is for losers.

Back to FIFA.

Walker.

To Cazorla.

To Giroud.

He shoots.

And he scores!

Oh, Arsenal won.

I'll be nil.

He's disgracing me. Are you not supposed to be studying?

I am.

Well, I was.

I was taking a studying break.

Studying break. Does Douglas look as if he's taking a study break?

That is why he gets A's.

And you get D's for dodo.

Actually, auntie, my parents banned me from those computer games as it affects

my concentration.

That is it.

Toby, give me that Playboy or whatever you boys call it. It's affecting your

concentration.

From today, no more computer games for you until after this English exam. But

mom! No buts, no computer games.

Funke, I've got a question.

Have you prepared the food for my transfer's birthday?

Buddy, buddy!

Do I look like a mogu?

How can I cook for you when you are still owing me for the wedding of last

My sister, times are tough now.

You know.

But mark my words, we'll pay.

Buddy, my brother.

I cannot cook for you. You want to eat fish?

Pay me the money.

This year, last year, and...

So, instead of giving me money, you want me to buy DVDs from you? No, now, my

sister. I was going to suggest that you take these DVDs as down payment.

They are flying off the shelf.

I'm telling you, you will make money.

The money that I owe you.

So, now, I have to work for the money that you owe me.

Your head is not correct.

You are crazy. Funke, you will make money.

They are trying to be sure. This is big business.

Yes, sir.

Oh, my gosh.

Is that not the DVD Samsung base partner?

Yes, it's five pounds.

Let me have five, please.

Five.

You know, that Douglas

family, they are always trying to outdo us.

Do you remember when we rented a flat in Peckham? They rented a house.

When we rented a house in Peckham, they went to go and buy a five -bedroom house

in Abbeywood.

When I saved up all my money to buy a video, the father went to buy a

I bumped into his room.

And she was saying that, oh, Douglas has been entered into a spelling bee at the

cafe. I wanted to wipe the smile off her face. I wish we could enter Toby into

the spelling bee, but we'll only be disgracing ourselves.

Hello, boys.

D for Douglas.

My favorite second boy in the world. I saw your father driving around in his

Mercedes Benz.

Which one? C class or E class?

Earth for show -off class.

Tell him I am happy for him.

Hi, Mom.

Dad, hi. Your son, Toby.

Come on, Toby. Let's go upstairs.

I'm here.

Toby, are you forgetting something?

Your result?

I haven't even seen it.

Well, open it, boy.

So I have to do it now?

Yes.

oh my god is it really that bad i told you over and over again revise ah

to be your ps3 you lazy lazy boy what don't you understand study study study

i don't believe it 97

percent 97 percent my Boy, you did it.

I don't even know how.

I don't know either, but you did it.

You see, Gladys, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Well, the apple has run away from the tree.

Douglas, what about your own results?

Actually, I'm not meant to open mine here, but I'm assuming it's 100.

Somehow, Toby managed to get 97.

My friend, open it.

What's this?

Oh, my God. What's this?

I bet it's 100%. 55%. 55 %?

Auntie,

can I have this? I have been on this deal for too long.

Please, please. I want that one.

There is only one left.

And if you want it, you will have to pay more.

Yeah, yeah. I'll pay 15.

I'll give 20.

I will pay 50.

50. 50 pounds.

50 pounds.

For a simple DVD.

Sold to this crazy customer over here.

I love my Donnywood.

But £50?

That's some serious desperation.

I just want to remind everyone that the cafe is actually serving food. So who's

hungry? We're just here to buy DVD.

But we are blown out at the moment. So we'll get some more in and then you can

come back later.

So thank you very much. There isn't anyone.

You can go now. Thank you.

Later, you come back.

Okay, this is a cafe, not a DVD shop. You're taking all my customers away.

Oh, Tony, don't stop the hollering and crying.

I've told you I will cut you a slice.

Business is booming.

Can you believe I made over £1 ,000 in one week?

You did?

Tony, you should consider shutting down this place and making it Funke and

Tony's Nollywood Dreams.

No.

Shakespeare.

Toby or not Toby?

That is the question.

Toby!

What's wrong with you, man?

Kevin, nothing is wrong with me.

I am just enlightened by my intellectual genius.

Why are you dressed like that, man?

You look like Carl from Fresh Prince of Bel -Air, man.

As my father says, a successful man dresses like a successful man.

Since when have you been quoting your dad?

You need to snap out of this, man.

Drop this act.

Oh, come on, man. Let's go and play FIFA.

FIFA?

I'd rather play something more stimulating.

How about a round of chess?

Chess.

Are you crazy?

Toby, my boy.

I'm genius.

How are you getting on with your crosswords?

Well, Bob.

You're doing crosswords?

Playing chess.

That's only to call a doctor.

This is not the real Toby. Can the real Toby please stand up?

Toby, please stand up. The real Toby is here.

He's genius.

He finally saw it.

Kevin, if you want.

You can sit in front of the television all day long, but my boy has to

concentrate. He's on his way to Cambridge.

So, on your way to Cambridge.

And forget your friends at Peckham, yeah?

Kevin, are you deaf?

He's on to bigger and better things.

OK. I'll tell you what it is, man.

Right, run it. No, Tim.

Let him go. Let him go.

In life, there are two types of people.

Oil. And water.

You are the oil. He is the water. And we both know that oil will always rise

above water.

Water? Oil?

You're confusing me, man.

You see, it's not your fault.

You don't understand.

You are from Peckham.

So let me say to you, in language you will understand it.

Carigo. Leave my genius son alone.

So, in light of these recent developments, I have put you forward for

spelling competition at the cafe.

Spelling competition?

That I can't spell? As Obama says, yes you can.

You are my Toby, my genius.

And we need to show that Douglas and his father how smart you really are.

So is this just a competition between you and Douglas' dad?

Of course, yes, it is.

And also because I believe in you. And I have to push you to achieve more

things. What sort of a father would I be if I knew?

Hey, funky blondie.

Hey, my love.

They're just arriving.

What's wrong with you now? You are late now.

I've been trying to arrange his birthday party.

Forget about that.

We are doing business now.

Another four DVD orders, business partner.

So, Funke, you see, with this last box, we are settled on a bill for the

wedding, the christening, and also the party coming up.

Of course now.

You keep the DVDs coming in.

And I will cater for the second birthday, the anniversary, your funeral.

Ah, my funeral.

God forbid.

My sister.

Now listen. You did not get these DVDs from me.

At all. Not me.

It is cold day.

Funke, these phone orders are going crazy. I could hardly get off the phone.

And there will be plenty more. Now, you hand out these business cards.

Funke's Nollywood Dream CEO?

CEO? I thought we were business partners.

Tony, you are the silent partner.

Silent, so keep silent.

My face is the face of the new venture.

Yes. Funke, yes.

This is Funke, yes.

The managing director, CEO, Nollywood Dreams.

Hold on, hold on.

400 DVDs!

Hello. Oh, hello, Mr. Cooper.

It's Toby's school.

Yes,

we've received Toby's results.

Huh?

They were incorrect.

Huh?

45%. I reject that. He got 97%. I'm not happy about this.

I shall be making a formal complaint.

Gladdy?

Gladdy?

What is this I'm hearing about Toby's results?

You mean?

You mean?

Yes, there was a mix -up.

Our son is not a junior.

Not even average.

45%. Eh?

45 %?

You mean he's been parading around here like a genius, reading books, pretending

to do crosswords, and he only got 45 %?

Ah, bloody.

He's going to embarrass us tomorrow.

It's too late to pull him out now.

Eh, so we should leave him so he can publicly embarrass us in front of

and his whole family. Let's pull him out, Joe.

All he needs is encouragement.

You see, he's been working really hard.

Did you not just spell covetousness? And the stupidness is what he's going to

look like tomorrow at the competition.

We need to pull him out pronto.

Sharp, sharp.

Welcome, Bayo. How was work? Forget about work. Where is Toby?

I told him to get to the cafe to prepare for the spelling bee.

So you sent that boy to the cafe? I went against my wishes?

You chose to let him go there to cause embarrassment to the whole Adepa and

name?

We have to do all we can to encourage our boy. And your decision to tell him

will have just destroyed his confidence.

What about the embarrassment he will cause us when they discover he can't

spell his own name?

We will not be able to look at people in the church.

Church? Ah!

It's true. I can't have these church sisters making fun of my parenting

We have time left. We have to stop him. You see what I've been telling you?

Let's go.

Let's go.

Ken. You came.

I didn't come to see you.

I came to buy my mum some Nollywood DVDs, innit?

I see you're in the final.

Yeah, of course.

Anyway, I'm just glad you're here, man.

And I'm sorry about, you know, the other day.

Well, I couldn't let you down.

Even if you're a geeky Toby.

A regular Toby.

Man, I got your back, bruv. Thanks, bro.

Boom!

I'm going to take him down, yeah? Ah, Toby, Toby, there you are. I've been

looking for you. Withdraw, my boy, withdraw. But, Dad, I'm in the final.

You're in the final?

Yeah. Are you sure?

How did you do that?

I'm a genius, remember?

I can win this. I mean, it's just me and Douglas left.

Wow. You and him?

The final?

Yeah.

So why do you want to pull me out?

Well, you see... Bayo, it's time you pipe down and let the boy do his thing.

Don't worry about it.

Just go ahead with the competition and...

Just remember, no matter what happens, your father and I are incredibly proud

how far you've come. But... No buts. By all. Toby, go. We're right behind you.

OK.

OK,

everybody. Douglas and Toby are on equal points. Whoever gets this right will be

the winner of the Peckham Cafe Spelling Bee.

Toby! Toby!

Toby! Toby!

Douglas! Douglas!

Douglas! Douglas!

Douglas! West side.

OK, the final word is... Are you ready?

Aspiration!

I've got this.

I -N -S -P -I -R -A -T

-I -O -N.

Unfortunately, that is not correct.

I think you'll find it is correct.

Well, actually, it is correct if I ask for inspiration, but I wanted

That's impossible.

Toby,

over to you.

A S P

I

T -I -O -N.

Crack time!

You saved my son.

You did it.

You did it.

Toby the genius.

I'm so proud of you. We beat them. We beat that family.

You won. You won.

Thank you.

Baba Douglas.

Allow me to offer condolences to Douglas.

It is only right, Bill, that I offer you and your son congratulations.

It is very rare you get an Eddie Banjo victory.

But we will fight again.

And we will win again.

I can't believe I've lost again. Daddy, take me to WH Smith.

Good afternoon. I see Toby won then. Ah, Mr.

Cooper. Absolutely.

The Adebanjo family is victorious.

I always knew you were talented, Toby.

Talented? I'm a genius.

Well, maybe your exams will reflect that the next time.

Next time?

What do you mean? I'm a genius. I got 97%. 97 %?

Oh, you weren't informed?

I told...

Now, Mr.

Cooper, please.

No, no, no, I want to hear this.

Informed about what?

Your grades were considerably lower.

Lower? 90 %?

Lower. 85?

Much lower.

45 %?

45 %!

So I'm not a genius? No, no, Toby, you're a genius.

That's why you wanted me to pull out? Toby, you're a genius. Look, does it

matter?

Look what you've accomplished.

That's right. When you set your mind to it.

Toby, you did very well. Your mum's right.

Look here.

Do you know what you're a real genius at, bruv?

What? FIFA.

Yeah.

You're right.

You want a game?

Yeah, of course, bruv. Go, bruv. Go, bruv. Hey, wait. One second.

I'm looking for Funke.

Yeah, if this is the CEO of Nollywood Dreams, you are speaking to the right

person. Good.

I think we spoke on the phone about the order.

Yes, yes. Oh, I have it ready for you. Everything is ready. 400 DVDs of a

Samsung base.

Good.

And I have something for you.

Thank you.

What is the meaning of this?

This is notice of legal action. I will be taken against you for selling my

Who are you? Look, I got this from my secret supplier.

This is a copy of a film I produced that has not even yet been released.

This got leaked from my studio.

It has messed up my entire business. And I want compensation.

Ah, compensation.

need to be speaking with the guy at the top.

Mr. Tony. Yes.

I thought you were the CEO.

The CEO of what?

So who is in charge?

That is the man in charge.

Yes.

As the CEO of Nollywood Drinks.

This. is the notice of legal action.

Okay!
