SCENE 4
Lashe is seen sobbing as she takes off dinner gown. She stares
absentmindedly at mirror as she cleans make up from face. After a while, she
becomes conscious. She looks at her phone on the bed and then looks away. She
looks at phone again and then picks it. She fondles with phone keypad and then
drops it on bedside table. She enters bathroom in her lingerie.
SCENE 5
Tekena is seen on phone
conversation with Mercy.
TEKENA(INTO PHONE)
You need to call her.
MERCY(THOUGH PHONE)
It'd be too obvious you talked to me?
Tekena sighs.
TEKENA(INTO PHONE)
What do we do?
MERCY(THOUGH PHONE)
We?
TEKENA(INTO PHONE)
What do I do?
MERCY(THOUGH PHONE)
Explain to her.
TEKENA(INTO PHONE)
Explain to her that we had a quickie?
MERCY(THOUGH PHONE)
Of course not, moron. I meant... just tell her something -
anything.
TEKENA(INTO PHONE)
I already did.
MERCY(THOUGH PHONE)
What did you tell her?
TEKENA(INTO PHONE)
Um...nothing.
MERCY(THOUGH PHONE)
You see? That's why she's angry. You need to tell her a lie.
She'll know it's a lie but you'd have given her an alternative thought. She'll
start thinking: is it possible that what she saw isn't and what you say is? And
she'll also believe you fear her that's why you're lying.
TEKENA(INTO PHONE)
Is that how you girls think?
MERCY(THOUGH PHONE)
Most of us though.
TEKENA(INTO PHONE)
But I hit her.
MERCY(THOUGH PHONE)
You mean after fucking me, you hit your wife for questioning you
over it? Is that what you plan doing to me too if I married you?
TEKENA(INTO PHONE)
No, it's just...
MERCY(THOUGH PHONE)
You're so pathetic, Tekena.
Mercy drops call.
TEKENA(INTO PHONE)
I got angry and lost my...hello? Mercy? Damn!
