(Upbeat jazz music)

(slow melancholy music)

- Princess are you not eating breakfast?

- Nope

(heels clicking)

- What did you do?

- What do you mean by that?

- Ah of course you know what I'm talking about!

Princess has been giving us the silent treatment since.

- And I'm the one who did something, instead of

you to talk to your daughter.

- Omolara, what did you do?

- Don't tell me you haven't stopped this

manipulation of your daughters marriage.

- [Lara] I didn't do any of that.

Well,

I might have told Olu Princess's soft spot.

- But you agreed to the traditional marriage.

- No, I did not agree to anything,

you forced it on me.

- Oh, so that is why you invited a man to come

and seduce your married daughter.

- That is not a big deal.

- It is a big deal!

What example are you setting for

your own daughter?

Omolara?

Ah!

(speaking foreign language)

- Are you not going to eat this-

- I am not eating again.

(phone vibrating)

- Hi Ken

- Hey, how are you doing?

- I'm fine.

- I just wanted to confirm that we're still on

for this afternoon.

- Excuse me?

- For coffee.

- What are you talking about?

- (mumbles) We agreed to get a cup of coffee

together remember?

- Uh huh?

- Well, um,

okay, I thought we,

okay you were like,

crap, sorry, I was like do you wanna hang out

or grab a cup of coffee or something,

you sure you don't remember?

- Um, no?

- Okay so I, okay um I asked and you were like

sure and then I was like can I call you tomorrow

you know?

(Omoh chuckles)

- You're pulling my leg

(Omoh chuckles)

- So you see what it feels like to denying

someone right?

- Ha, ha, ha, very funny.

For a second I thought I was imagining things.

- So, now factor in doing that with people

staring at you in public.

- Yeah.

So um, so yeah we're still on for coffee?

- Sure, I'll see you in an hour.

- [Ken] Okay, great!

(slow jazz music)

(knocking)

- Dare, you're welcome

(groaning)

- Please sit.

- Thank you, sir.

Um, I hope everything is alright, sir.

- We're fine, I'm only curious,

what is the preparation like,

you know, on you're side?

- Oh everything is smooth, sir.

- Going really, really smooth.

In fact I'm going to the fashion house later on

this evening to finish up my fittings.

- Hmm, that's fine.

But that is not the preparation I'm

talking about.

- Oh! What preparation, sir?

- You're family, have you made necessary

arrangements for them to come over?

- Uh.

- Yeah, 'cause that is the essence of

the whole thing, you know, your family coming

to meet mine officially, get that clear?

- Uh, yes sir.

Well-

- Dare listen, if it is question of money,

don't worry yourself about that, is that clear?

Because I am prepared to give you

batch of flight tickets, right?

- No, sir that's not it, sir.

My father is uh,

how do I put it down,

he's incapacitated at the moment and will not be

able to make it but he will be with

us in spirit, sir.

- I see, what about the rest of your family?

- Oh! I already spoke to my uncle in Baltimore,

he'll definitely be here, sir.

- Just you're uncle?

- Yes, sir.

(sighs)

(chuckles)

- Just one person, Lara won't be pleased with that.

(tongue clicking)

- See you later.

- Where you going, dressed like that?

- The cafe at the other side-

- And what are you going to do at the cafe?

- I'm having lunch with a friend.

- Friend?

When did you start having friends that you

have lunch with?

- I just met him, you know?

- We're talking of a 'he'?

- Yeah, what?

- So what this is like a date?

- Maybe, more or less.

- Well you don't mind telling me that you're

going out with another man on a date?

- I mean, I'm sorry, was I supposed to lie?

- What if I don't want you to go with another

man, in fact I don't want you going on dates

with another man.

- You're not my husband, you don't want me,

you've made that clear.

- We're engaged.

(scoffs)

- But I see you with other girls,

so yeah you can't stop me.

- As your husband, I forbid you from,

As an engaged man I forbid you from go-, even

leaving this house.

- You can't do that, you can't eat your cake

and have it too.

You either want me or you don't.

There's no in between.

- Omoh, we had an arrangement.

Right, we-

I thought we we're working on something?

What if Mama see's you?

- Your mother traveled to the other side of the

states to see her friend so no she's

not going to see me.

- Just, just wait.

- Come on Eddie, I'm not that important to you.

So stop pretending, come on call one of those

your babes that you talk to on the phone and tell

them that, not me.

We had a deal and that's to convince Mama that

we're truly in love.

Mama is not here so I don't see any reason

to fake it.

So chiao.

- Hi,Eze

- Hi.

- Bye, Eze

- Bye.

Eddie I did not here anything, I did not hear

anything especially that part, that part

that you guys are engaged,

I did not hear, I didn't-

Eddie.

What's wrong?

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, look I just came to-

- Quiet, can I just have peace?

- Don't be annoyed.

So where are we going now?

(slow melancholy music)

- Oh

(Omoh chuckles)

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Good to see you.

- Good to see you too.

- I didn't think you were going to make it.

(Car engine roaring)

- Eddie my good friend.

(Eze laughs)

I need to borrow your car.

- No, no, no.

- Please now, I brought it back in good condition

the last time, didn't I?

- Guy, guy, why do you need my car again?

What do you need it for?

- I'm supposed to link with my girlfriend and

you know, we're supposed to-

- That's you're girlfriend, that is not my

girlfriend, please, you don't need my car.

- Please, now.

- No!

(upbeat jazz music)

- Really?

(Eze chuckles)

Well, Eddie I hate to do this but you you leave

me with no other choice.

- Hate to do what?

- If you don't give me this keys I'm going to

walk right into that restaurant and tell you're

cousin that you're stalking her!

- I'm not stalking, I'm not stalking anybody.

- Oh, so what are you doing?

Just merry-go-rounding, you're just playing around.

I heard everything you guys said back at home,

every single thing.

- So now, you're blackmailing me over my own car?

- Me? Blackmail you?

God forbid bad thing, over my dead body, I can

never blackmail anybody.

All I'm saying, just like the elders say, a child

can play with his mothers breasts but not his

fathers testicles.

- What?

What does that one now mean?

- I don't know, I heard it in a movie and I

wanted to just say it.

(Eze laughs)

- Just give me the keys.

- Take, take, take

I will get you later.

- No problem, how hard was that?

Did you die?

Did you die?

(upbeat techno music)

- Hey babe.

- Hi!

- Sorry, I'm late.

- That's okay, we actually just got here,

although it is disappointing to discover that all

Africans are late not just us Americans.

Friend, boyfriend.

Boyfriend, friend.

- Hi I'm Eze.

- I'm Kimberley, it's nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you too, I've actually heard a lot

of beautiful things about you.

- Really?

- Uh no, Its just one of those social things you

say out of courtesy.

- He's learning.

- So I here you're from Nigeria.

- Very much so.

- Wow that's interesting, I went to college with

a girl from Nigeria.

- Wow.

- Bisi Coker, do you know her?

- No kidding?

I probably know her, you know, I probably do,

I mean after all Nigeria is what?

only 180 million people, only!

So yeah the chances of me knowing that one girl

you we're in school with, extremely high.

(upbeat jazz music)

(girls laughing)

- He's funny, so stupid.

- That's what I would, I mean, I agree, it makes sense.

Oh, thanks.

So um, how's America been treating you?

(Omoh sighs)

- I don't know if I can really answer

that question correctly, I mean I've been mostly indoors

but one thing I do notice is that

everyone minds they're own business.

- Really?

- I'm serious, come to Nigeria and see.

You'll be walking outside and someone will stop

you randomly and lecture you about your

indecent dressing.

- No way!

- Especially elderly people, they will judge you

based on personal moral compass.

- Huh, well I mean, at least there's a sense of

community, right?

Like, people are invested in each other.

- Something you think America lacks?

- Go outside and like trip and fall on the

concrete, nobody would bat an eyelash.

Maybe if you go get hit by like a truck

or something somebody, might call 9-1-1.

(Omoh laughs)

- I've heard people criticize that a lot about

America but I still prefer a society where

everyone minds they're damn business.

- I like you very much,

I like your face so much,

I want to kiss you now.

Oh really? I don't mind at all, do you wanna

do it now or later?

- I want to have sex with you, it's the only

reason I'm here.

(Eddie laughs)

(Eddie groans)

- There's nothing I would like more than to take

you to bed right now.

(glass clinks)

- I didn't, I didn't order this, I didn't

order this.

- No, you didn't.

It's courtesy from your cousin over there.

(Eddie scoffs)

- So anytime she posts on Facebook I just

ignore it.

- Oh you have to because if you like it and then

you don't comment, it's off with ya head.

- Exactly and then when you do, within a minute

you get like 2,000 notifications.

- Exactly, it's so annoying.

- I hate when that happens.

- You have Facebook in Nigeria?

- Uh, you didn't think we did?

- No, not really.

- Wow,

so you probably think Nigeria is what?

Some type of jungle?

- I mean, I wouldn't say jungle per se.

That sounds so derogatory but I never thought

about it before, I don't know, I just pictured

it to be, you know, exotic.

- Oh, exotic, right.

With horses and lions and elephants and everybody

is naked all over the place.

- Exactly.

- No technology, no infrastructure.

- Exactly!

I just pictured everything would be

green and lush.

- So how did you think I came to America?

- Oh you probably took-

How did you come to America?

- Jennifer didn't tell you?

- Nope.

- I came on an ostrich, we flew all

the way here.

- That's impossible.

How did you feed the ostrich?

- Blood of Nebuchadnezzar!

I packed extra food in my bag for the ostrich.

- See that's smart.

- Okay, wait, Kimberley, at least tell me

that you know that's ostriches don't fly.

- What, they don't?

- So, the ostrich walked to America?

That must have taken a long time.

- I'm going to the bathroom.

- Okay you're hurting her brain.

You want to look for some food?

- Yeah!

- Good stuff.

(upbeat music)

(police car sirens)

(slow melancholy music)

- Sir, roll down your window.

Sir, do you know I pulled you over this evening?

Do you have a license and registrations, sir?

(Eze whining)

- Your license and registrations

- Deportation, deportation, God forbid.

(speaking foreign language).

- Do you understand what I'm saying sir?

(Eze whining)

- Listen I pulled you over this evening because

your back tail light is out.

Imma let you go with warning tonight but make

sure you get that serviced.

(Eze laughing)

- Thank you very much officer, God will bless, I

know you are a-

Jesus.

(upbeat music)

(police radio mumbles)

- Hello dear

- How are you?

- Good

- How was your day?

- Fine.

- Have you heard from your Dare about his family?

- Yes,

he said only his uncle will be able to come.

- That is such a shame, have you even made

inquiries about his family so we could know the

kind of family our daughter is going to?

- Yes, under normal circumstances, that is the

right thing to do but don't forget, these people

are already married.

What we are doing is just formalities to save face.

- It is not enough for only one person to come,

it's disrespectful.

- I see.

- So do we cancel the traditional wedding?

Ah, so why are we talking about it?

You know this boy grew up in Nigeria and most of

his families are there.

So what do you expect?

(slow jazz music)

- Eddie, I don't-

- Nothing, I don't want to hear anything

from you, don't say nothing!

- First of all, you owe me 500 dollars for

bailing you out.

And then secondly your never touching this

car again.

- But at least you-

- Shut up!

I'm not done talking.

Okay, I'm done. What do you have to say?

- I don't have anything to say.

- Yes, you don't have anything to say because

I am not ready to here any rubbish from you.

(upbeat music)

- Does it fit well?

Do you like it?

- It's fine, I mean It's a bit loose but-

- Yeah.

- It's fine, it's fine.

- So what took you guys so long?

- I have a question.

Who's going to be the best man?

- Who's going to be the best man?

Eze it's me.

- Technically the best man is for the best friend.

- And you think you're Dare's best friend?

- Duh!

We are so best friends, we live together.

- Eze, that's called roommates.

- Ah! You are such a hater, we are roommates

that are best friends and now

I'm his best

man.

- Guys, it's a Yoruba traditional marriage,

there's no such thing as a best man.

- Daraju Okunrin.

- What?

- Daruju. Best.

- Okunrin. Man.

- Daruju. Daruju.

- It's the same thing, you know what I mean.

- Daraju Okunrin.

- I don't think it works like that, in fact,

I don't even know how it works.

That's the more reason why you should have a

best-

Daraju Okunrin.

- Listen, if there is going to be a best man or

Daraju Okunrin.

It's going to be me.

- Eddie you're going to have to courtesy this position

to me or I'll let the cat out of the bag about

your cousin.

- What about his cousin?

- Oh his cousin,

well, apparently our friend

Eddie here is-

(Eze sighs)

Eddie sorry, he's married to his cousin!

- What?

- I'm not married to anybody, we're engaged.

- Wait,

you're engaged to your cousin?

- Look, she's not my cousin, okay, I didn't want

you to tell you guys that my Mom brought somebody

from the village for me to marry so I said my

cousins were at my house.

- Wow.

- Yes, there I said it.

My secret is out.

- Wow.

- Wait, so this is like a

mail order bride.

(guys laugh)

- No, before I left Nigeria we we're engaged.

- Oh.

- Technically you're engaged so you can't

be the best man, I mean

Daraju Okunrin.

- [Dare And Eddie] Shut up!

- So how was your day?

- It was fine.

How was yours?

- It was fine.

- Okay.

- Yeah.
