[shuts door]

This is real nice.

I still love you.

Love Michael?

Who and who?

[sighs] Mehn.

Hi babe.

Uh, I just called you, but you didn't pick up.

I hope you're good?

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that

I've gotten to the apartment.

And uh...

it's...

not so bad.

Anyway just call me when you get this.

Or I'll call you.

Either which way.

Any of it is fine. Love you.

Bye.

-Oh, hi. -Hi.

-Tobe? -Yeah.

-Alex right? -Yeah, sure.

Uh, sorry, I got the keys and

the note that said I should make myself comfortable.

Oh that's fine. Welcome to my apartment.

Uh, your room is first room to your left upstairs.

I also got the instructions. It's fine.

Oh sorry. [chuckles]

-My crazy ex. [chuckles] -Yeah.

Uh, I'm sorry I can't stay to show you around.

But just make yourself comfortable.

I came back to get my wallet.

I'm heading back to the hospital right now.

How long did you say you're staying for?

Uh, a week.

I'm in town for a conference.

But don't worry. You won't even know I'm around.

I'll see you when I get back, okay?

-Yeah. -Sure.

Alright. Drinks when I'm back.

I guess. Yeah.

Alright, nice to meet you Tobe.

Make yourself at home. [groans]

Will do.

[shuts door]

An ex?

Michael?

Okay, so...

the living room is actually bigger than

the pictures I sent you.

I was surprised honestly.

But it's not so bad. It's very comfortable.

Hello?

Hello?

Are you there?

Rita, are you there?

Rita are you there?

Hey man.

Hey.

Hello?

Oh there's even someone else there.

Yes Rita. There's someone there.

Tobe, this is not working for me.

What do you mean, what are you talking about?

The place is very comfortable to be honest.

We've both known for a while that this has been over

I think we should

just call it a wrap.

What do you mean wrap Rita?

How can you say that?

Call it a wrap as how?

What exactly are you fighting for Tobe?

Every time I try to connect with you,

it's like getting across to a brick wall.

I'm sorry it has to be like th

but you can't tell me

you didn't know this was comin

Rita we can fix this.

Rita.

Goodbye Tobe.

Please don't call

me or text me again.

Rita please...

Rita just hold on let's talk this out.

Please we can fix this.

Please.

Rita.

[sobbing]

[knock]

Yeah.

[sniffles]

[sniffles] Hey man.

-Hey. -[shuts door]

Hey.

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

I'm sorry about what happened.

Look,

you should give her time.

You know?

Maybe she just needs some time to come around.

It was bound to happen.

We've been in a bad place for a while now.

I just can't believe it's happening all over again.

How do you mean?

I'm sorry bro, I don't mean to pry. Okay?

No, it's okay.

Apparently, I'm always the problem.

My last relationship before this one...

She said she couldn't connect with me.

And you know, I try.

I try so hard, and I want to.

Hey...

Hey man.

Hey, come on.

You don't have to be too hard on yourself okay?

Uh... I just feel you haven't found the right person yet.

There is always the right person.

Okay?

-I guess. -Just stop crying.

I try.

I know... stop crying.

Stop crying, it's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

[sobbing]

Just stop crying okay?

Stop crying. Sorry.

Wait!

[scoffs] What do you think you're doing?

What am I--

No, let me just make things clear.

Just miss me with that b.s.

Do you understand?

Please.

[exclaims]

In fact. [opens door]

Alex please leave.

Tobe--

Alex I don't want to hear anything just leave.

Leave.

[shuts door]

[exhales]

I'm making dinner. Do you want some?

I'm fine. I'm not hungry.

[exhales]

-Hello?

-Good evening sir.

Yes please where is my food?

We're actually looking for a delivery

person to deliver

the food to you.

What do you mean you can't find a delivery person to deliver my food?

We're so sorry sir.

This is 11:08.

And you're just telling me.

Sir. Sir?

You know what, get out.

For you.

Hi. Good morning.

Hi. Good morning.

How did you sleep?

Fine.

You?

Same here?

You want some coffee?

Yes please.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Alex.

Why are you being so nice to me

even after the way I acted?

Well because everyone needs some kindness sometimes.

Even a difficult flatmate.

[chuckles] Okay, fair enough.

But just so you know,

I am sorry for that.

Look Tobe, it's fine.

I totally understand.

Trust me.

And besides,

you're not my type.

What does he mean I'm not his type?

Hey.

-What's up? -I'm good.

Did you go to work today?

[sucks teeth] No. I'm off today.

What about you, how was your conference?

Yeah, it was fine. I'm exhausted.

Please drop your bag there and play snooker with me.

You're exhausted? What did you do?

Okay, but I'm going to whoop your ass.

[chuckles] Come let me whoop your ass.

[laughing]

That's your stick there.

-[exhales] -[sighs]

Go ahead and break.

Yeah, I'm about to.

So wait, this your conference,

what is it about?

Uh... it's kind of like an exhibition.

An investor's forum.

The start up that I work for is looking for investors.

My boss signed us up for the conference.

Uh...

We just prepared our pitch deck.

You know, and...

move.

We're looking to see if we'd meet

a couple of people that would throw money our way.

Hm. Okay. Well...

That's nice. I wish you guys the best.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Yeah.

Oh.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, no. I'm sorry about that.

Okay.

Yeah, alright.

Uh, is everything okay?

Did someone die?

Not yet.

But soon.

And it's going to be me Alex.

What do you mean it's going to be you?

How? I don't understand.

So my team head, uh...

he has a family emergency.

He's leaving for Port Harcourt this night.

Uh... okay.

So is that why you want to die?

You don't understand Alex.

Okay listen.

With him gone,

that means I have to be the one to do the presentation.

Tobe, I don't see what the issue is in you doing the presentation.

It's every issue.

It's every issue, do you understand?

I am not good with public speaking.

Like at all!

I do not do well with that type of thing.

-[chuckles] -Oh shit.

So is that why you're fidgeting and perambulating?

Tobe, public speaking is not that hard.

Just relax.

No, it is for me because I start sweating.

And I start stammering, and then I just--

Alex I can't do this. I can not do this.

[muttering]

Okay fine.

If public speaking is that difficult for you,

why don't you tell them you can't do it?

That's not an option.

Because with him gone, it's just me.

And we need the money to drum up business

for the project we just launched.

That's why I'm here!

Christ! We're going to lose money

and it's going to be my fault!

And I'm going to get fired Alex.

You don't understand.

Look man, public speaking is not that difficult.

Just relax.

You know what I would genuinely want?

For you to actually stop saying that.

[knocking]

Yeah, come in.

[shuts door]

-Hey. -How you doing?

How is it going?

Honestly, it's going terrible.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I really don't.

Look, sorry about back there.

It's fine.

I'm sorry for snapping at you.

It's just... all of this.

It's just so last minute.

I understand.

I could help you.

Yeah.

I don't mean to brag but

I'm kind of good with public speaking.

So all of that, that was you not bragging.

-[chuckling] -[clapping] Good job man.

So humble.

Bro, I can help you.

Do you want my help or should I leave?

Wait.

-[shuts door] -Fine.

I can't lie, I do need help.

So please help me.

What's with the attitude?

You were already leaving?

-So why were you being difficult? -Is that how you help people?

-Why were you being difficult? -[chuckles]

Alright.

So, where do we start?

[indistinct]

Tobe, you're pacing too much.

Okay.

So as you can see from the projections behind me...

[indistinct]

[chuckles]

What's funny?

You're standing too still.

Okay.

Gimme a sec. Okay?

As you can see from the uh...

this initiative--

No.

You're mumbling your words.

[muttering indistinctly]

Wait, what exactly are you doing here?

Are you eating or are you helping me?

'cos I can't tell the difference.

[slurping]

[sighs]

Dammit.

This isn't working Alex.

Now you're giving up.

[laughing]

Hey.

What's all this?

I thought Doctors were supposed to advice against drinking?

It's just red wine. It's good for your heart.

Yeah, that sounds like an excuse to get drunk.

[chuckles] Look, are you going to drink or not?

What else can I do?

I thought as much.

[laughing]

Here.

Mehn, this week has been strange.

First my relationship.

Now this.

[chuckles] Well you know what they say,

No Alex, I do not.

What do they say?

That God always tests his best soldiers.

[groans] Please I'm not interested.

I'm not the best please.

[laughing]

-Look at this man. -Please I'm not the best.

I'm not. Please.

You know, I don't get it,

So for you Doctors, this is an idea of a good time?

With wine in your house?

You know we have two types of people.

Uh-huh.

The extroverts, and the introverts.

Yeah.

I happen to be an introvert.

I like to have my fun in my house,

drinking my wine and watching the TV.

-Oh really? -M-hm.

Well I dunno man.

This doesn't seem like anything I would do.

Well I feel a grown ass man crying over

heartbreak is boring to me.

[laughing]

You're going to make this wine go the wrong way stop.

[laughing]

Not good.

Ever had your heart broken?

Huh?

Have you ever had your heart broken?

[chuckles]

Yeah, actually.

15 years ago.

By my best friend.

I came out to him and

I noticed he started drifting away.

I... [chuckles]

I tried to let him know that I'm still the same guy I was

but he wasn't just buying it.

And he drew the line when he and some other boys

set up this mutual friend of ours

and publicly disgraced him because

he was acting feminine.

My God!

They were punished, right?

Punished? [chuckles]

No, they were not punished.

You know how it is.

The law does not hold in this part of the world.

Yeah. What I mean is...

it's his loss anyway.

That's a terrible friend. You don't deserve that.

If I'm honest,

sometimes I feel it's my loss.

He... he was a genuine friend.

He was nice.

He was sweet.

In all honesty I miss him.

I understand.

[chuckles]

Oh man. Cheers to heartbreak.

[laughing]

[glasses clink]

Need an extra hand?

Yeah, sure.

Help me with those.

Yeah sure.

Okay thanks.

That smells really good.

What are you making?

I'm making noodles.

My special recipe.

I see.

Where did you learn how to cook?

[chuckles] Well, my mom.

She said no child of hers will be useless.

I used to protest back then but now I'm grateful she did.

You know it's actually funny,

I actually don't know how to cook.

You know and...

[scoffs] I don't really like junk food.

It's not for me.

But when I'm out of options, I don't have a choice.

That's right.

[laughing]

I actually envy you. I'll be honest.

Maybe before I leave, you can show me one or two things.

Yeah bro, that's not a problem.

Please help me with that.

No this...

This one! Do you want to stir with the plate?

I don't really know this stuff, I'm sorry.

[laughing]

Bro... okay.

Try some.

Oh my God that's so good.

Mmh...

You're good at what you do.

You outdid yourself. This is amazing.

I know. I just wanted to hear it.

-You're so proud. -[laughing]

Hey.

There was oil.

Oh.

Thanks.

[exclaims]

[chuckles]

[exclamation]

Stop teasing me.

[exclaims] Here.

[chuckles]

Ready?

I'm probably going to mess this up.

Shh...

Just remember everything we rehearsed

and you'll be fine, okay?

Hmm.

What?

Wait here.

[humming]

Okay, not like I'm going anywhere.

Yeah.

[sighs]

What's that?

Take that off.

-Okay. -Take it off.

You don't need to be so bossy.

[chuckles] I'm the boss.

Why do you have a big head?

Okay easy. Okay? [scoffs]

Hmm... let's just slip through this.

Where did you get this tie?

Trust me, you don't want to know.

You know that just makes me want to know more right?

[chuckles]

Yes.

Now you're wearing my lucky tie.

Hm. You'll do great.

I feel like a Pastor.

I thought you meant you feel like an Investor.

Never do "Investor."

[chuckles] Come here.

I'm probably going to look down on stage.

Hey...

Just imagine I'm in the audience,

and you're looking at me.

Alright?

Okay.

I'll try to remember that.

[sighs]

You look good.

Okay, uh... I need to get going.

Uh... your suit.

Thanks.

-Mmh. -Okay.

-I mean... -My man!

Now it's not so bad.

[chuckles]

Okay.

I need to leave now.

-Alright. -Good luck bro.

Wish me luck. Be back soon.

-All the best. -Peace!

[chuckles]

[cars honking]

Tobe.

What happened?

How did it go?

It went very very well.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thank you for your help. Really?

It came in handy.

I'm glad I could help.

Yeah.

Uh, I need to go make some calls, okay?

Alright. I need to head to work.

I'll see you when I get back.

Okay, when do you get back?

Very soon, I just want to check on some patients.

Okay, that's fine. I will see you.

Thank you.

[chuckles]

[door shuts]

Hi.

Hi.

[chuckles]

Tobe?

-Yeah? -Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything is fine. 100 percent.

Uh, could you do me a favour?

Could you go upstairs and freshen up for me real quick?

Please.

Okay?

Tobe.

Yeah?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Would you just let me be the boss for like one night?

Just go upstairs, freshen up, and meet me in the kitchen.

Right.

Go on, on the double.

Go.

[chuckles]

What?

Well, I actually cooked that.

I thought I'd try some of the things you taught me.

Hm.

Well, I'll have to taste it to see how good it is.

Well, it smells good.

I hope it tastes...

Almost as good as yours?

Well?

Hm. Not bad.

It could use some work.

Okay. Be honest.

Grade me.

-Honestly? -Yeah.

I'll give you E for effort.

[scoffs] You liar!

That food is good and you know it.

I put my back into it.

You should be congratulating me.

-Really? You suck.

Wow, unbelievable.

[doorbell]

I'll get that.

[doorbell]

It doesn't mean I won't eat my food.

Uh sure. Carry on.

Hey baby.

What are you doing here Michael?

Allow me in!

Why are you always adamant?

What's wrong with you?

Michael, what are you doing here?

Anyway, I forgot my sneakers the last time I was here.

So I came to pick them up.

Fine. I'll bring them over to your place.

-Just leave. -Why?

When I'm already here?

Michael, just leave.

Oh. I see.

You already replaced me.

Hi Felicia!

Welcome to the club!

When are we seeing again?

I don't know Michael.

I'll call you.

-[smacks Alex's ass] -Mi--

Don't keep me waiting.

Bye Felicia.

[opens door]

[shuts door]

[clears throat]

[clears throat]

Yeah so, where were we?

Uh, as I was saying.

Is this all you could learn in almost

one week of staying with me?

[sighs]

[knock]

Come in.

Hey.

Hey.

Since when did you start knocking?

Uh, I wasn't sure if you were sleeping.

I came to return this.

Oh.

Thanks.

Okay.

I guess you were right actually.

It does bring good luck.

I leave tomorrow Alex.

Oh.

Already?

Yes.

Just thought you should know.

Michael is just a friend.

My ex.

Yeah.

Right.

Tobe.

Are you mad at me?

No Alex.

I can't be.

[sighs] Listen.

Alex.

I'm sorry for the way I acted when I first got here.

It was wrong.

It was horrible.

I didn't give you the time to show me who you were.

I was horrible.

I'm ashamed of myself.

I'm ashamed of myself.

And--

Shh...

Tobe.

You're not a bad person. Really.

I feel like I am.

Look...

I guess what I'm trying to say is...

[sighs]

I love being around you.

I love being around you too Tobe.

So, does this mean I'm your type now?

Wow.

[phone vibrating]
